Dr Wallis said there were several reasons why he did not consider it would bo right for him to address the meeting. One reason was that he was not a ratepayer of the Parnell Riding, and, moreover, he "felt ho should have to speak strongly against his fellow-councillors. Another reason was that he had been all day preparing his speech for to-morrow night, and lie did not Wish to spoil iho c.'.iect. (Cheers and iiproarious laughter). Tie had several other important dutio-5 to perform to-morrow. He had to put on the black cup and condemn the Act, and he had to put on crape on his face nnd hang it up. (ii-nowed cheers and laughter). , Air Jenkins was the next speaker. He in veighed very strongly against the conduct of Messrs Wrigley and Kisslinsr. in calling that meeting, when there was another meeting on at P.irneii. It was an attempt to get the Newmark et people to commit themselves to endorse their vote in favour of the Act. Therehadbeen some nasty rumours afloat, and as it was well that -uc!i should be cleared oat. he would ask Mr Wi-igley whether it was true that he, had never brought before the Council the offer of the Newmarket LlaU for the Council Sittings, but had kept it in his pocket, and then voted for pavinvr £50 a year for Mr Toddle'sotlice. He begged their pardon, Mr Tothill's office. ivir'vVriglay said he had "rged the acceptance of'llie oiFer for engaging the Newmarket Hall, and it was carried against him m the Council. Dr. Wallis said ho had never heard ot the oiler at the Council. Mr McColl proposed that the meeting now call upon Mr Wrigley to resign his position as their representative in the County Council. (Cheers^ _ «« Wait lin the o ther motion is disposed of." (Here, here) . The Chairman put Mr Woods motion, wnich was carried with acclamation. „ ~ Mr Jenkins said ho hoped Mr McColl wouid j include both gentlemen in his motion. One was as bad as the other. (Hear, hear, and no, no.) Mr -Vbbott said, how Mr Wrigley couhUWacc out this calling to account of his constituents he could not imagine. Hut some men had cheek enough for anything. (Laughter.) lie did not approve of including Mr Kis.ihng m the resignation motion. That young gentleman had done much good for his district. Mr Wrifdey, on the other hand, had proved himself "a recreant to all trust and confidence. He had made promises, and now had broken them. One might be black, but the other was in^S^s^ ( l Chf Ittught1ttught on reflection it would be best to hang only one at a time. <U Mr hAndre^s advocated fair play. He did not like to see such a resolution passed on the spur of the moment, and ho hoped it would not be passed. Mr Wrigley might bo called "Tes^SSTaX Sot" spoke hotly i^es haagreeTwft Sh Mr Andrews that "T" S at this juncture, twenty or thirty speaking at the same time : the tone of the majority was against any mercy to tbflf "frSey said it was un-English like to condemn a man before ho was heard.

He had certainly ex pressed himself in favour of hanging up the Act tut that was before they had received the full text of the Act, and he did not understand it Mr Abbott proposed, as an amendment,-That Messrs Kissling and Wrigley be requested to resign if they were not willing to undertake either to vote against the Act, or else remain nMr'coleman moved that all the words aft^r " That Mr Wrigley be requested to resign d~ left out. This was seconded. Mr McCaul said he hoped the question would not b<=> burked. (Here, here.) He wish oil to ask Mr Wrteley whether he would vote against the Act. (No answer). - , Chairman : I will now put the second amend "Ratepayer: Are only Newmarket, people to vote, or Parnell and Newmarket too ( The Chairman: Only ratepayers of the New- m The CCimSnent "That Mr Wrigley be rcoucsted to resign" was then put, amid much noise and uproar, and was declared carried by 10 to 4. The numbers would have been larger, but the noise rendered it impossible to hear the Chairman's voice more than half way down the WrMey said he should not take any vote of 10 ratepayers as an expression of opinion from the riding. If a maiority ot the ratepayers asked him to, he should be willing to resign. Mr C. Wood proposed and Mr McCaul se conded that the ratepayers of Parnell assembled in that meeting express their opinion that the Act. be hung up. , , - This was carried with acclamation, and a vtrn~£ thanks had just been passed to the chair man, when oo»^« ,-vne put out the gas, and the meeting separated in confusion.

AUCKLAND SUNDAY - SCHOOL UNION.

Tjiis association, formed for the incul3F^° n of religious principles in the mind of you<b beinsr the colonial off-3hoot of the parent So<ioty m London, held its twelfth annual meeinglast evening, in the large room of the You>i? jM.en_s Christian Association. Mr. J. C. Fir". Presi dent of the Union, occupied the chair,i u PPorce^ by the Ilcv. Archdeacon MaunseZ'.lj-ev. J. Robertson, of Beresford-street; Eer.-K. laylor, the secretary, (Mr Lyon). and othergentlemen The roooi was closely crowded vitn school teachers and the public, which occasionally ren dered the room uncomfortably waxm. the proceedings opened with prarer anda hymn. Mr. Firth, on rising, was greeted vith cheers, and delivered a well-arranged and smtabJe address. He said, in his opening remarks, that it was scarcely necessary to speak m praise or such an institution a9 that which they had met to celebrate; still it would naturally be ex pected that he should say something of its character and work- The Sanday-scnool Union was an institution whose fruits testified ot its usefulness, and whose labour, patent to the world, rendered it unnecessary to say a word m its favour, Mr Firth then pictured the position and modes of living and teaching of the people of Ancient Greece and Rome, and compared them with the tendencies of the present age. In olden tini'js people struggled for themselves alone, prompted alone by selfish principles; but the enlightened Christianity oC modern times, taught men the nobler duty of living for others, and there were innumcrableinstances on record oil noble-minded individuals, who had not only striven to do this duty, but had endeavoured to do it in a manly and Christian manner. In going into the objects of the Sunday-school Union, Mr. Firth said these objects were, to provide pure and useful literature for the children of the schools, so as to implant right principles. They also desired Successful organization, so as to benefit both teachers and scholars. By means of organization the Union collated the most valuable information on the difficulties which beset teachers, and presented the experience of the best teachers for the guidance and encour agement of others. Another important and essential function of the Union was to furnish school requisites for the clear conveyance of Christian truth, by the elucidation of what would appear to be Scriptural difficulties. Mr. Firth tnen drew a pleasing sketch, in which he likened the Sunday-school Union to a reservoir, sending forth its refreshing streams of whole sorna'water over every part of a city, where impure water had previously been in common tism We have not space to give more than a brief outline of the President's speech, ajid can do little more than say that it •yeas eloquent throughout, and worthy the Association, in whose favour ~dL was uttered The secretary, Mr W. H. Lyoi£ then came forward with the report and balance sheet. The> report shewed that fifteen Sunday-schools liad joined the Union, and one had seceded and joined the Church of England Union, leaving 99 schools in connection with the Union ; the number of teachers 818, and attendance by about 7812jscholars. The periodicals, books, and school requisites amounted to £768. The balance-sheet shewed receipts, including a previous balance, to be £10G8 3s Id; expenditure, £1050 Ss lOd, leav ing a balance of £17 11s 3d in hand. The liabili ties of the Union altogether arc £462 11s, while the assets represent a sum of £1005 Is sd. leavini a credit balance of £542 10s sd. Addresses oa subjects of interest in connection with religious education were subsequently delivered by Rev Dr.|Maunsell, Rev. J. Robertson, Rcv.R. Taylor" and Mr. F. Battley. Several anthems and hymns were sung by the choir of St. James' Mrs Mitchell taking the lead. Rev. J. T Hinton of the Thames pronounced the benediction and the meeting closed.

THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE.

(To the Editor of the Star)

SlK,—The "Slaughterhouse" question being the all-absorbing topic at present, allow me through your columns to shew the Councillors of Eden County their way out of the difficulty. Allow every respec table butcher the right of keeping a private slaughterhouse in a suitable place, and charge him a license fee of £10 per annum if you do not wish to tax the consumption of meat, or of £1000 if you want to tax the consumption of meat. In either case it will be to the interest of the licensed slaughterhouse proprietor to be as saying and economical in fiw business as possible, and at the same time extend, xt to its farthest limits, But charge them nil, alike, the same m you do to your auction

solicitors, Cixstom-hoxiee agents etc., etc. Have an independent man as Inspector of meat, cattle, and slaughterhouses ; make it compulsory for him to visit each slaughter house daily, or at least alternate days; make the proprietors keep a book in which the number and brands of the cattle slaughtered are written,and which is initialed by the Inspector daily. If the proprietor misconducts his slaughterhouse, fine him £5 for first offence, £20 for second, and on conviction of third cancel his license. As the fees are at present the tax falls wholly and solely on the butcher, as it is not enough to charge something extra per pound, and yet amounts to a considerable sum in the course of the year. Therefore, after ten years experience, I say grant the butchers private slaughter-houso licenses under strict daily supervision, and the public will be served at the lowest paying price and have the best guarantee that nothing but wholesome meat will be killed, and stolen cattle would have to be killed elsewhere. Another tiling that ought to be seen to at once is that the meat is carried in proper-constructed vehicles whore it is pro tected from rain and the rays of the sun, and where the driver can find a seat else where than at present.—Yours, &c, A.D.
