Messrs Hunter, Ormond, Beetham, and several others left the House so as to reduce rtie numbers below that required to be present before the motion could be put. It Sierefore lapsed. After they came back a rather disorderly discussion ensued. Mr Hunter complained of insulting language having been used to him. Mr Reynolds warned the Wellington members that if they obstructed those who came from a distance the seat of Govern ment might be removed. Mr Ormond said they had gone out be cause many members had gone home quite snre that motions in which they Were in vested could not come on. DISORDERLY SCENE. A warm altercation then took place, lasting nearly half-au-hour—Messrs Stout, Rees, Swanson, McLean, and others taking part in & The Acting-Speaker, Mr O'Rorke, in terfered several times, ruling the discussion irregular : but it still went on. At last it dropped, and business proceeded. The House rose at 1.20.

EXCELSIOR TEMPLAR SOIREE.

The fourth anniversary of the Excelsior Ledge of Good Templars was celebrated last evening in the Primitive Methodist Schoolroom, Frank irn Road. This was. perhaps, the most pleasing, <md the most successful, of the Excelsior enter tainments. The room was decorated with great taste, the pillars of the building being com nletely hidden in evergreens and seasonable flowers, while flags hung out in every possible O'er green-lipped mottoes, graced with thought, Which gifted poets penned. The tea-tables were amply spread with good things, and the wants of visitors attended to by Mesdames J. Chambers, M. A. Chambers, Caradns, Forguson, Maynard, Porteous, Roach, Morgan. Hughes. Whitcombe, Warburton, Snencer, Anderson, and Misses McLean. Booth, Moore, »nd Grant. Mr David Goldie occupied the chair at the musical entertainment which followed, and which opened with the ode " Friends of Temperance." by the chapel choir. Brother Carter then delivered notes of progress, which shewed that the Excelsior Lodge was, in accordance with its assumed character, going ahead. The members on the roll numbered seventy-five, which was thirty in addition to previous statistics. Much was due to the members of sister lodges for their sympathy and support, otherwise the lodge would have been in a less healthy condition than at present. The chairman also made a few comments on the condition and prospects of the lodge, as BUgpestedbythereport.The programme was then gone through by the ohoir, under the direction of Mr Booth. The choir gave in the course of the evening, " The Battle Cry," "Sing, work and pray," "Love at Heme," "Staud to your Arms," "Bright "Water," "Right over Wrong," and "The Mountain Rill." The reoitations included an " Address to Working Men," by Mrs Anderson; " A Lecture on Bees," by Mr Blackman ; Edwin Waugh's poem " On a Potato Pie," by Mr Mashitter ; "A Love Story," by Mr T, H. Smith; and "Paddy's Maiden Speech," by Mr Young. Dialogues were rendered by Mi«s Howard and Miss Hanley, Sisters Anderson and Gribble, and Brothers Anderson and Harris. Ballads were sung by the following ladies : " I would be thine," Miss Peace; " Isle of Beauty," by Miss Moore; and a solo by Mr Booth. The proceed ings were of a most interesting character, clos ing with the National Anthem.

Mclnany, for scealing specimens from the Moanatairi Mine, was committed for trial. Bail was allowed. He is the same person who was tried and acquitted at the Supreme Court last Christinas, for 1110 deatb- Last night some person broke into the Queen of May office, and stole a quantity of specimens. All hands had been knocked off the day before, and at the time the robbery took place no person was present at the mine. Thp manager had neglected to place the specimens (which weighed about 3Vbs) in the strong box, but left them on the floor, and as the door wrs insecurely fastened, there was no difficulty in purloining the stone, The police are instituting enquiries, and the directors os the company are likely to offer a reward for the apprehension of the thief. CALEDONIAN SPECIMENS. About 40 tons of very good stone has been broken out from No. 2 reef, and forwarded to the Prince Alfred battery, which will start to-mor row. The lode is being stripped, and 7,030 tons will be put through. An immense quantity of this class of stone is on hand, so that a first-class crushing may be looked for for some time to come. The reef is 6 feet wide, and gold is fre quently visible. The contract is completed for driving the south western face on the upper Otago level, and the manager is driving the vein strik ing west from the hanging wall in the main lode for the purpose of intercepting the stream which has broken through to the rise, and made it almost useless as a pass. After this has been done, the lode will be broken into and tested. WELLINGTON, this day.

LEATHER V. HORSEHAIR.— AMUSING INCIDENT.

An amusing incident occurred .in connection with the Mayoralty election. Hunt, a choleric dealer in leather, etc., and anxious to get someone to oppose Mr Dransfield for the Mayoralty, was driven to ask Mr Barton as a last resource. Mr Barton said " Yes." Hunt was happy, and paid the necessary deposit of £10 for his candidate, when Mr Barton changed his mind, and would not stand. Hunt becatne angry, and told Mr Barton he must stand. Barton said he wouldn't. Hunt became very wrath, and demanded his ten pounds back. Barton smiled innocently. He knew nothing of any ten pounds, and would not therefore pay "it. Hunt looked unutterable things, and disappeared, interjecting voluble abuse about low-class practitioners. Our streets are being torn up in an unsightly manner for the tramway.

AUCKLAND PRESBYTERY.

The following business, was transacted at the meeting of the Presbytery yesterday afternoon after we went to press :—

SUSTENSATION FUND

The following repoit of the committee appointed to consider the new Sustentation •bund Scheme, to be laid before the General Assembly was read :—That there shall be a bustentation Fund established in con nection with this Church, to which all con gregations shall be expected to contribute and from which all all ministers stipends shall be paid as hereinafter provided. 2. Each congregation shall have an or ganization of collectors whose duty it will be to collect subscriptions to the Susten tation Fund k by 'such periodical visitations of all the member and adherents as may be agreed upon. 3. There shall be a general Sustentation Fund Committee, to which each Presbytery shall appoint two members—one clerical and one lay ; and there shall also be an Execu tive Committee, consisting of seven members, appointed by the General Assembly, all of whom shall be resident in or near Wellington ; and three, at least, of whom be ministers—four to forma quorum. 4. The dividend paid to each member from the Trust shall be £250 per annum, paid in equal quarterly instalments, and m order to secure this dividend the amount sent in to the Fund by congregations which contribute more than that sum shall be distributed among the congregations which rise less than £250 for their ministers on the following conditions :—l. No congregation shall receive from the fund more than £250. 2. No congregations shall receive more than £50 above what it has contri buted to the fund. !

5. No Congregation contributing less than £250 per annum to the Fund shall be Jit liberty to supplement its minister;s stipend.

6. No congregation contributing less than £175, per annum shall be admitted to the benefits of the Fund unless by the autho rity of the General Assembly, and on the recommendation of the Presbytery of the bonds.

7. The Presbytery of the bonds shall, under instructions from the Executive of the Sustentation Fund Committee deter mine the least amount each congregation shall be expected to contribute to tha fund ; and whatever sum any aid-receiving congregation gives less than the determined account shall be deducted from the aid it would otherwise receive.

8. Congregations which give a stipend of £250 or more, and which desire to pay their ministers in a direct form may, by sending vouchers for the actual payment of a stipend of £250, receive credit with the Fund for that amount of stipend as well as for the contributions which they remit. 9. The General Committee shall meet at least once every year, bnt the Executive Committee shall meet once every quarter to arrange for the distribution of the Funds, or as often asjjbusiness requires.—Robert Someryille. Convener. Auckland, Nov ember 20th, 1877. The report was adopted. Rev J. Macky moved that the following recommendation be attached to the report : That meanwhile, congregations which are

now self-sustaining should be recommended without delay, and for the purpose of testing the strength of the scheme, to organize staffs of collectors, and go to work as if the Snstentation Scheme were already initiated.

Seconded by Rev G. B. Munro, and agreed to.

THE POKENO PROPERTY.

The Presbytery having heard the state ment of Rev. T. Norrie, agreed to the fol lowing resolution : "The Presbytery express their sympathy with Mr Norrie in regard to the annoyance received by him, and declare their willingness to do what they can to aid him in asserting his right to the building."

DR. SOMMERVILLE,

The Rev. R. F. Macnicol stated that he had received an intimation from Rev. Dr. Sommerville, to the effect that he might be expected in New Zealand about the middle of Jannary, but was not certain whether he would visit Dunedin or Auckland first. The meeeing then terminated.

SOCIETY OF ARTISTS EXHIBITION.

The exhibition of pictures at the Museum is attracting more interest than usual. The visitors who were there yesterday were unanimous in pronouncing it the best which has yet taken place in Auckland. After an inspection yesterday morning our reporter supplies the following notes : —The exhibition is well worthy of inspection, aud is much improved by the non-admission of inferior pictures. All those exhibited, with one or two exceptions, have some pretention to artistic merit, and the greater number are really carefully fiuished productions. There is a tendency to overcolouring, but we are glad to see that in this respect several of our best known artists are much improved. Nos. 1 and 2 are watercolours by Mr J. C. Hoyte. They are excellent paintings, and not far behind this artist's best works—the skies and shadows being the best points. The subjects are admirably suited for artistic treatment. Nos. 4, 5, • 15, 21 37, and 39 are landscapes by Mr Alfred Sharpe. They are very distinctive in style ; the outlines are good, and the foliage first class, but the general effect is rather harsh. No 21 we take to be the best, viz. : "View from the Bald Spur, Tangihua Ranges." Mr Alexander has two good landscapes m Nos. 8 and 9 but the colours are too vivid. Mr R Beauchamp's {exhibits are all sketches of considerable merit. The style is peculiar, but masterly. They have the appear ance of being done very rapidly. JNo. 16, "A Coming Squall," by J. fcymons, has a splendid sky, but the picture requires a central figure to give it more relief. Mr F. B Gibbes exhibits several sketches of Vic torian scenery. No. 25, "Near Greens borough, Victoria," is the best, the tints being very natural, and the perspective <*ood No. 32 would be a powerful drawing but the sky is too turbid for a sunset. JNo. 38 " Only a Child," by Mr S. Begg, is meri torious from its simplicity but the. nose is a trifle too long. Miss Wnghts specimens of flowers from nature are the best shown. They rank very high as works of art as also do the drawings of Miss Morris, and No. 57 garden flowers from nature by Mrs Matthews. Among the crayon and pencil sketches, the most notable are Mr Beauchamp's elaborate view on the Tamai, Miss RidinVs " Paul and Virginia, Mr Whitmore's 0 portraits of the Mayor and Resident Magistrate, Mr Connelly * "Desdemona" and photographs of. sculp ture Mr Choyce's «. Winter," a vigorous drawinV Mr Stewart's " Head " very nicel? finished, and Mrs Perkins' "Head " a drawing displaying mucn nicety of execution. Thp first of -the , ox pamting, we come across is also the best. lUis is Mr Connellv's portrait of a well-known Auckland lady/ There is a delicacy _ of treatment and softened repose about thl s fa« hand, is only..ltebay toferiorj it ni<;o is an exact likeness. jm PalmeA "Flower Girl" is almost the only figure painting among a sea of landscapes— f such an expression is admissable-it is No S 110 and 123 show marvellous stall watotsToo blue are evidently — la'I a' S^N^nt the Harbour o?A»ckUnd from Kemnera" (un

, general effect is excellent, the features of | the scene being brought out splendidly ; the Little Barrier to the north, and the Coromandel Range to the eastward, shew | well in the distauce; nearer at hand, Rangitb+n loonn with more distinct out line : *he North Shore and Heads are frvirhfully depicted, as well as Orakei and Frown's island. The expanse of water is cheqxered with the shadow of passing clouds, and varies between those blue and 1 green tints which are to be seen on it al most every day. To make the picture more characteristic of early Ncav Zealand history, several Maori figures and horses are intro i duced, and these are as perfect as the ; master hand of a sculptor can make them. Then, notice the foliage. Every bit of this is exactly copied from Nature. With the license of an erf Ist, the painter has not con ' fined himself to the trees on the spot, but j has selected favourable specimens of the ■ tree fern, the birch, the nikau, &c., &c. Taken altogether this picture is a magnifi cent study, and it is a pity that it is hii'ig where its best points are not favorably ; shown up. Miss Isa Outhwaite does not please so much as usual with her picture "After the Fresh." The good i points are detracte \ from by the dumpy appearance of the hills. ;Mr T. L. Drummond shows some good coast scenes, over which great care has been taken. In one of these there is a curious shadow effect which will rai=se some discussion. Mr C. Blomfield exhibits several pictures of average merit of which the best would be " Blumli's Alp " were it toned down a bit. No. 101, "The Three Kauris " show careful work, and the foliage and ferns are exact. Mr Kennett Watkin's is evidently not afraid of the difficulties of his art, for he apparently seeks the most arduous subjects. His picture of "The Pink Terrace" is meritorious, and his "Lake Tarawera" displays a complete ness of detail and a nice combina tion of tints which betoken genius, but his " Wangaroa Harbour by Moonlight," is too weird and ghostly altogether. Mr Whitehead's efforts are unambitious but natural. A picture we should class as among the best of the landscapes is Mr Piquenit's " Morning in the valley of the Upper Huon, Tasmania." The tints of morning are beautifully imitated, and the painting is quietly good. Mr Albyn Martin's pictures, of which there are seven, form a feature of the Exhibition. The two most attractive are " Pheasaut Shoot ing, East Tamaki," and " Surveyor's Camp, Gisborne." The treatment is comprehensive and good, the colours are admirably com bined, and the foreshortening and per spective excellent. In the lecture-room a large number of students' pictures are exhibited. These are not included in the catalogue, but they tire well worth inspection. The exhibition was visited by a good many people both yesterday and to-day.

"MEASURES, NOT MEN."

Sergeant Gamble, the Inspector of Weights and Measures, caused quite a sen sation among the hotel-keepers to-day, and made a seizure of no less than 231 un stamped pint and half-pint measures from seven hotels, no less than 72 measures being from one hotel. When it became known that the Inspector was on a, tour of inspec tion through the city, the hotel-keepers were on the move, and one, hearing that his measures were in danger, rushed across the street between the cabstands, and was not a little surprised to see the officer of justice in his house before him. It was quite amusing this afternoon to watch the employees of hotels rushing up stairs at the police station to the Inspector's room, with bags and baskets loaded with beer measures, the rattle of which caused the nncollared dogs, awaiting their destiny, to commence a barking chorus, interspersed with a few terrier solos. We learn that the hotel-keepers have been frequently warned of the inevitable result of procras tination, but without avail.

JOSEPH NEWMAN. Chairman

WESLEY AN DISTRICT MEETING — Second Day.

IN addition to the ministers present yester day, the Rev. W. Gittos, of the Kaipara, attended. After devotional exercises, Mr Garlick, probationer, and Mr Buttle, student, received examination papers, which they were required to fill up. Mr Buttle, it was intimated, would preach his trial sermon at Pitt-street school-room this evening, and Messrs Wallis, Watkin, and Wiliiams were appointed to hear the sermon, and report to the meeting. When the question of candidates for the ministry was brought forward, the superintendent of the Auckland circuit recommended Mr W. L. Salter and Mr F. W. Martin. The young men were at once furnished with papers that had been prepared by the Board of Examiners to test their literary and theo logical knowledge. The Auckland Circuit also sent in a request for an additional minister to reside at Ponsonby. Various questions were asked with re gard to the probability of the support of such a minister, and satisfactory replies being furnished, it was decided that the Conference should be recommended to accede to the request of the Auckland cir enit. The need for a second minister for the Waikato circuit was also considered. It was shewn that the circuit is at present far too large to be worked effectively by one minister, and it was resolved to ask the Conference to appoint a young minister, and to make a grant for the first year, to wards his support.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before Dr J. Home, D. Hean, Esq., and D. M. Luckie, Esq., J. P.'s. BACK AGAIN.

George Evans and Alexander McNavtghton, two boys aged 10 and 11 years respectively, were charged with stealing a door mat and scraper. value £3. the property of Edwin Hornsby, on or abo'it the 20th inst. Prisoners pleaded guilty. Patrick Landal, a lad [of 12 years of age, knew the prisoners. Saw prisoners in Wellington street o;; the evening of Tuesday last. Witness was selling the Star. The prisoners were throwing stones at Mr Hornsby's bird. Another boy took the mat and scraper and threw them into the street. He did not know the other boy. Mr Sub-Inspector Pat dy stated that the boy had told a different etory to Constable Burke yesterday. He had. no doubt but that Sandal was the culprit himself. He would ask that the other boys be discharged. Mrs Mc- Naughton, a respectable woman, and Mr Evans, stated that they took proper charge of their children. The lads were then discharged.

A WAIF AND STRAY.

Patrick Sandal, the. witness in the last case, was charged with a breach of the Naval Train

ing School Act, by not being under proper con trol. The lad's stepfather appeared, and stated that he could do nothing with the boy. He was beyond all control. Committed to the Naval Training School for three years, to be brought up in the Roman Catholic faith LARCENY AS A BAILEE.

At the request of Mr bub-Inspector Pardy a remand was granted to Saturday next. This concluded the business.

THEATRE ROYAL.—"THE TWO ROSES."

There was not a good house at the Theatre Royal last evening, on the occasion of the first production of the amusing and highly interesting comedy of " The Two Roses," by Mr and Mrs Tavares. The different characters of the play •were very well sustained by the leading members of the troupe. Lottie Grant, by Mrs Tavares, was a splendid impersonation, and that lady appeared to great advantage in a character so well suited to her capabilities. Mr Tavares made a good Digby Grant, and, as might have been expected, his acting was quite equal to the occasion. Mr Searle, as Furnival, the lawyer, deserves a word of praise, and we may remark that he seemed perfectly qualified to display the peculiarities of the old lawyer, whose " Dear Me's" set the audience in roars of laughter. Jack Wyat was ably impersonated by Mr Melville, who per formed his part with considerable ability. Miss Clara Henderson, as Ida Grant, and Miss Tilly Andrews, as Mrs Jenkins, were both very good. The character of Mr Jenkins, the '"shining light," -was well sustaired by Mr Leopold, and that gentleman is to bo con gratulated upen a most successful rendering of his part. We should not omit to mention Mr Hoyle, who played to great advantage in the character of Caleb Deccie, the " blind fiddler." This evening will be presented the comedy of " Stranger," when Mr Tavares will sustain the title r6le, and Mrs Tavares the character of Mrs Haller.

Mr L. W. Eaton held a sale of oranges, this afternoon. There Avas a fair attendance and the prices realized ranged from 11s 6d to 12s 6d.

Mr G. W. Binney sold to-day, on the premises of Mr William Vickery, engineer and iron founder, the right, title, and interest in the lease of allotments 16 and 17, section No. 25, City of Auckland, having an uuexpired term of 72 years, together with all machinery, working tools, plant, &c, &. The price obtained was £68 J.. The boat race for trophies promised by Mrs Tavares is to come off at 5 o'clock to morrow. The prizes will be presented at the Theatre Royal in the evening. The Panmure quadrille party closed the season last evening with a select ball, held in Mr McPherson's new hall. About sixteen couples were present, including friends from Auckland. Mr Joseph Church acted with much efficiency as master of the ceremonies, and the music was supplied by Messrs Dunn, Church, and Wallace. In the intervals several musical selections were given, and a comic song by Mr Dunn, " Tommy, Make Room for your Uncle," which created great fun. After enjoying themselves, the party broke up at three in the morning. The hall was very taste fully decorated for the oocasiou, and a vote of thanks was given by acclamation to Mr McPherpon for the tree use of his hall, and to the Misses Church for providing the refreshments.
