RELIGIOUS TEACHING IN SCHOOLS.

(To tbe Editor.)

SIR,—I see we have a doctor hero—a real live doctor. Would you kindly tell me .vbich poison he is doctor of—whether medi cine or theology. It is just as well to know who these doctors are, though 1 should not have wanted to know who this doctor was only for his making one or two statements at a meeting held on Wednesday in some rooms bearing the name of the Young Men's Christian Association Rooms, but which I think we shall have to change to "The Old Ladies of the Sterner Sex Rooms " if they repeat many of such meetings. The doctor's first assertion I am inclined todoubt. That is, that only four persons voted against Bible-reading in schools in London. Witii regard to his stupid remark that one of them wns a paid agent of tho Secularists, he must have forgotteu he was addressing the paid agents of several sects or sections of society. And then with regard to the doctor's asser tion that all opposition comes from those agents or a few noisy people. This is simply untrue, as most intelligent boys over 14 years old know. There is no paid agent of the Secularists here, nnd there are hundreds of men and women here—and not noisy ones, either—that do protest against tho Bible being read in schools—and not very noisy peoplo, either. Certainly they havo a little more modesty than the doctor in question. I for oue, as the father of a family, protest against this hue old Book—containing, as 1 believe within it, the Word of God—being dragged down to the level ot every wretched little sect. I say to my follow citizens —Do not let those priest? step in and spoil this splen did system of education, for they always spoil anything they touch. They crucified Christ, and have gone on making mischief ever since,—l am, &c, SAMUEL COOMDES.

NEW IRELAND COLONIZATION SCHEME.

Me Shuter, who arrived in Sydney by the Normanby, from Singapore, states that the nirangemeuis for founding a colony in Now Ireland continue iv full swing. 'Alter the failure of the iirst expedition Captain Robardy, of the Genii, communicated with the Marquis de Ray, who replied that he was to push on with the expedition. The captain of the Genii, who is said to be a French gentleman of considerable influence, assembled his party ou board, and after, addressed them for some three hours, during which he explained away the statements made in Sydney, and made capital out of that portiou which designated his party pirates. The immigrants, comprising Germans, Frenchmen, and Spaniards, to the number of sixty, agreed to go on in the vessel, so also did the seamen, but the engineers refused to turn to, and their places were to bo filled by Chinese engineers. On the occasion of receiving tho encouraging cable from the Marquis the Genii was gaily draped with flags, and a great enthusiasm prevailed on board. Captain Robardy wa3 advised that the steamer India, with from 700 to 800 colo nists for Port Breton, was leaving Barce lona, under the Italian flair. The Genii while at Singapore was placed in the hands of Messrs Drummond, Gaggiu aud Co., ship chandlers, to bo put in good seagoing ordor. She is to remain a month at Port Breton, then leaves for Sydney for provi sions, and oue of the promoters of the ex pedition will meet the vessel hero and pro ceed to the new colony in her. The Genii carries the mitrailleuse guns, and the pas sengers are mostly armed. From Singa pore we learn that the Genii (s.), Hying the Liberian flag, left there on the sth August with ten passengers. An English mate and native crew, who were originally on board, deserted. Captain Robardy, who holds the portfolio of Minister of Justice, Minister of Works, and Instructor of Artil lery, is on board. The India (s.) is ex pected with 850 colonists, and also the Governor of the now colony at New Ireland, The repairs to the Gcoil cost 13,090 dollars.

Mr Hunt, milk purveyor, of Newmarket, said he would plead guilty, but it was entirely the fault of hi. boy, who did uot see that the can was properly emptied of water. His Worship : I thought perhaps there was a pond in the enclosure where the cows were. Mr Hunt said ho was particular about the character of his milk, resolving ever since he had been in the milk trade to have his milk pure and unadulterated. Sergeant Gamble gave evidence, and defendant was subjected to a fine of 3s, costs 19- Gd. Albert Smith, milk purveyor, of Parnell, wps charged with a similar offence, iv which was found IC-5 per cent of water, on the "tli inst. Mr Smith said he could plead guilty, under peculiar circumstances, which was ignorance. He could not understand, for the life of hira, how the water got into the milk. It was particularly line, and there had been no rain. His Worship said be once heard a very ingenious defence from a milkman, whicli was that there was a hole in Ihe bottom of the eaii, which lot the water in.

Emma Allway and Plumber Allway were severally charged with striking and healing Mrs Mary Daley ou the 12th inst., iv the rural district of Newmarket. Mr Tole appeared in defence.

On the day iv question, Emma made an attack upon her, and struck her violently on tho mouth. To Mr Tole : She sailed as Emma's com panion ou the 15th of April last. Mr All way paid her saloon passage aud gave her an outfit. He was pleased with her conduct generally, and once as a token of his satis faction with her, he kissedher. (Laughter.) Witness : Yes, he actually embraced inc. Mrs Allway : Oh, Mrs how can interrupted by counsel.) Witness : Could not please Mr Allway in the cooking. She cooked veal cutlets on the Sunday morning. She did not retnse to cook the dinner. He scolded and she cried. Mr Allway told her she had the water on the brain. Mr Allway said he would .etch a policeman. She did not eat any dinner ; her appetite, was gone. He, Mr Allway,threatened to put her out. She replied, "Not ou the Lord's Day." She said, here's poison, and a poor soul had better be dead. Did not .say she would .take it. Merely p'-t the cork to her mouth. She was a thorough- Scotchwoman, and Scotch people arc not inclined to suicide. She took up a glass to look at her mou', which was bleeding. One of her teeth was loosened. Had not a false tooth iv her head, thank God. Scotch people generally have good teeth. (Laughter), She did not thump Mrs Allway. Mr Tole addressed the Court at some length, descanting upon the kindness of Mr Allway towards complainant. It was a trumped up case, and complainant was an untrustworthy woman. Ho would ask that the case be dismissed. Mrs Allw.-iy deposed that she called Mr Daley at the usual time on the Sunday morning (7 fl'clock). She appeared out of temper, and did not come down until past eight. • Mrs Paley appeared sulky, and seemed disposed to quarrel. She then i_ot out of the way until 11 o'clock. She then asked hoi- to prepare dinner, when sho positively refused several times to cook even a potato. She was very abusive. Went out for a walk with Mr Allway. Returned at 12 o'clock, j-he still refused, and went into her bed room. Mr Allway talked; to her, and told her that if she was'still obstiuate, he would futch a policeman; He told licr that she was ungrateful. He had spent £100 in bringing her out from England. Mrs Taley then said she would take poison. Bushed into the kitchen with the poison in her haqd, shouting "I'll do it, I'll do it." Witness said, "Not in my bouse Mrs Daley." She secured the bottle. Sent for Sergeant Jackson, who was not at baud. Finding' that Mrs Daley was quiet in her room, she feared that she had got another bottle of poison, and on going to ascertain, complainant gave witness a blow on the breast. She then pushed Mrs Daley on one side. She did not strike her, but merely pushed her in self defence. Cross-examined at great length by cook, which elicited a great deal of fun. Mr Allway having given evidence shew ing that complainant had grossly miscon ducted himself, the case was dismissed, complainant to pay costs £2 2s. , STRIKING A PARENT. Henry Shore, a youth, was brought up on a Charge of striking his father, Thos Shore, and using threatening language towards him ou the lGlh inst.

Presentation of Degree.

NEW ZEALAND FIRST BARPJSTKR

OF LAWS. The degree of L.L.1!., recently gained by Mr R. 11. Rattray, of this city, was publicly conferred this afternoon in the College Hall. One side of the hall and half the other were filled by a large assemblage of ladies and geutlcmen, who had attended with the commendable object of lending eclat to the proceedings, while the remaining space was occupied by the elder boys of the Grammar School.

The followiog gentlemen occupied seats upon ,the platform :—licv. I). Biuco (Chair man), the Mayor, Mr Justice Uielimoinl, Rev. Mr Nelson, Rev. Mr Tebbs, Rev. Ml' Edger, Sir G. M. O'Rorke, Dr Goldrbro', and Messrs I.ai.aville, Moat Prime, E. Hesketh,,!. M. (.'Luke, S. Luke, Firth, Mil others.

The entrance of Mr Rattray, clad in academical gown, was greeted with ap plause. Too ceremony was commenced by the Chairman requesting Mr James (Secretary to Board of Governors) to read the results of the recent University examination.

The Chairman saiif that as the Chancellor oi the Uuiveraity had dune him the honour to name him his delegate for the presentation of the degree to Mr Rattray, he bad deemed it prudent and becoming to offer a few observations upon higher education aud the provision made for it in this colony, the progvess made in academic studies, aud the effect which the energy shown in this directum would be likely to havo upon our uatisual life. The gentleman then detailed the means by which the University was founded aud endowed, and the mode in whicli it was now carrying out its dutins. The standards of examina tion adopted by it were admittedly high, but no bad lvsuit could ensue from such a matter as that. The speaker then went on to refer to the greater advantage which the youth of the Middle Island enjoyed over the North Island youth, who had to puisne their arduous couv.O under exceptional difficulties. Endow ments for the benefit of higher education I had indeed been made ill this Islaud, That for a long time to come dependence would havo to be placed upon nil annual Parlia mentary giant. 'iherc appeared to his mind three means of providing satis factory for higher education in the North. The first was to set apart tiie revenue resulting from land re served for Univei-siey purposes as ja national fund from which grants should be made as required, nccordini. to the interests of higher education in the chief centres of population. The second w;is for Parlia ment to make a grant of money sufficient to place our colleges, etc., iv the same position as those in the South until the endowment revenue was available. The third means was to grant money for the pur pose increasing our teaching stalls so that thero illicit be tutors available for tho training of undergraduates. After exprcss inir the earnest hopes that our rep resentatives would not loose sight of this matter. Mr Bruce went on to say that during tho eight years tho University had been in existence 'M scholarships, varying iv value from £-.0 to £SO, besides conferring 30 degrees, one-fifth of tho total honours had been secured by Auckland, and the fact was therefore highly credit able to our educational institution. After deprecating any re-organisation of the present excellent system of College tuition which had achieved such good results, the speaker concluded with an eloquent address to the graduates and under-gi-dilates of the University, He recommended the formation of a College Club. Mr McKae (head-master of tbe Grammar School) then presented Mr Rattray to the Chairman, who thcrinpon presented him with bis diploma and invested him with the accompanyiug hood, cougr_.tulat iug him upon liis success. Mr Justice Richmond then delivered an elaborate aud appropriate address. ft was applauded at frequent intervals. At the close tbe Chairman apologised for the absence of Bishop Cowic, Dr. Steins, Dr. Cowie, Father W. Mac Donald and others. He then thanked the audience for their attendance, and ended by calling upon the Grammar School boys for three cheers for the new L.L.B.

They lustily responded, and the asscin bl.igo then dispersed.

The Belligerent Clothier Makes Peace.

THE TRUSTEES TRIUMPHANT. THE "Auckland Clothing Company" has capitulated, the establishment having for mally surrendered last evening to the besieging forces. In the afternoon Mr Cuthbertson intimated to Mr Macll'arlauc (provisional trustee) that he did not vri.-h to prolong the contest for the possession of the ImililinL', and that so far he was not to blame iv the matter, as he had acted simply as agent for the creditors upon the advice of his solicitor. He asserted that Robinson sold to him ou the Sth of August last, and as Robinson did not leave till the 10th he purchased the goods before the bankruptcy was contemplated. The price was £;")00, but as the true value is al leged to be £1,000 Mr Cuthbertson replied tbTit his purchased interest is exclusive of the property claimed by the foreign creditors which as agent for them be disposed off to Mr Bell. Tho local credi tors, however, refused to accept these alle gations. Mr Cuthbertson subsequently stated that on consulting his solicitor further he was advised that bis rights were invalidated by having neglected to remove Robinson's name from above the door, and under these circumstances he was prepared to surrender to the local creditors and claim on the estate. At 5 o'clock he gave thekeys to Mr T. Macffarlane, trustee in Robiuson's estate, who entered into possession at once. A complete surrender having been made, however, and tbo estate delivered up, Mr Macffarlane did not consider it necessary to put in bailiff's again, and the services of those functionaries who had taken so active a part in the active hostilities were dispensed with at the m.mcut of peace and victory. The trustee will have stock taken imme diately, and will realise in the usual way for the benefit of the creditors.

THE CHARGE AGAINST A MEDICAL MAN AT TEMUKA.

The Terauka Court, Canterbury, was oc cupied during the greater portion of a day in hearing the charge against Dr. Hayes. The Courthouse was densely crowded, the affair having caused considerable excitement in the district.

Mr Johnstone, of Tcmuka, appeared for the prosecutrix; aud Mr Haiuuiersley for Dr. Hayes. Mrs Phillips, the prosecutrix, deposed that she was a widow, and was em ployed by Dr. Hayes as housekeeper on August Ist, 1879. Two months after wards she became pregnant, and ac quainted Dr. Hayes with her condition. Accused said " it was a bad job," and prose cutrix asked if he could prescribe anythiug, mentioning some drugs. A day or two afterwards he threw her a box of pills, saying " there you are." This was on a Monday, and ou the following Saturday she had a miscarriage. Subsequently she became very ill, medicine was prescribed by accused, and fiually he sent her to _ the Tiroaru Hospital, where she was examined by Drs. Hogg, Hammond, and Lovegrovc. She went back to Dr. Hayes' employment. Ue accused her of misconduct, dismissed her, and she applied to Sergeant Carlyon, asking him to find her work, or to sec the accused. Dr. Hayes sent £2 to her, and recommended her removal to Dunedin. Meeting him she asked why he had sent her the money, and he replied " If you don't take it aud clear out by the half-past three train I will send your boy back to you," addiug, "Do your woivt, good-morning." By Mr Hamcrsley—l married in England only once. My husband died three years ago last January. I have done nothing else but laundry work. I have never stated I was married to accused, and followed him out here. I have never stated I was a Countess. I think I saw Mr Johnston a week or so ago ; it was about two days be fore the information was sworn. Mr Johnstone being sworn, said : I am a solicitor, residing at Tcmuka. On Friday, September 1, plaintiff came to me and mado a statement. I saw her twice during the following week, and her instructions to me emphatically were that she did not want money from Dr Hayes. On August 30 I went to Dr Hayes requesting an interview. This was without any instructions from my client, and simply in the hope of settle ment, to preveut the matter coming into Court. In my interview with Dr Hayes ho appears to have fallen into error in supposing that anythiug I then said was uuder instructions from my client. I did not observe that tbe woman had been biatally treated. Whatever the result of the case was, I thought Dr. Hayes would be a madman to let the case go into Court without making an effort to stop it. _ This was the caso for the prosecution. His Worship (F. Guinness, Esq., R.M.), without hearing the evidence for the de fence, dismissed the charge, remarking that there was no evidence to show that calomel or any other drug had been administered to the prosecutrix. The decision was received with approba tion, and on leaving the Court Dr. Hayes was loudly cheered.

Tho question of tbe re muneration is left in the hands of tho share holders, and tho directors only wish to suggest that a sum O-_,CIO. per annum should he allotted for that purpose lie did not Hunk there was anything else requiring remark from him, but would uot like to .it down without bearing testi mony to tlio zeal und ability of Mr McMullen, the Inspector anil general manager, who had hoen|ab.c to keep tho bank hi tin position it holds without pressing tnduly upon any of its customors, and whose ell'orts had been ably seconded by the manager in London and tho stall". If there was liny further information re quiicl he should tie mo-t happy to give it. Air William Hotly seconded tho motion, and congratulated Ills fellow-shareholders upon the ro lilts achieved. Tho-tiAil-MAN. in reply to Mr Stuart, said tho bjiud only suggested that the remuneration to tho auditorsshou tl bo £31)0 per annum, to bo appropriate.! buiwcon them. Tho inereasu In the expenditure was on irelyduo to the colonies, where new branches had been opened in places where it was thought profitable business might bo done. Tho had been no increase in tho ex ponscß in Ijonllon. Tho motion was then pul and agreed to. Mr Kobei-t Campbell and Mr J. It. liullen Smith, tlioretiring directors, was ilien re-elec ted. Mr Seiiao moved that Mr Albert, Deacon, mer chant, of Fonohtii-h-Btroot, and Mr Robert falmorl larding accountant, or Old Jewry, bo re .icctoil auditors, and that their remuneration bo ..::iUO a year. Mr ST--in- seconded tho motion, and it wns unanimously agreed to. Mi- Haudinu, In returning thanks, said it was dm) to the directors to say that everytliingtliat the auditors required wns laid before them, and be had novel- seen more elaborate and com pruhoiiHivoslatuinontH.

Alukrt Deacon, \ . „._,,--, R. P. lIARDINO, I AU-ItOM. Tho Chairman, in moving that tho report bo received aud adopted, said sinco tho mooting in January the necessary formalitios for altering tho constitution of tho bank, and bringing it within tho provisions of tho Act of 1870, had been carried out, and he thought It would bd gratifying to the shareholders to learn that tbe course which they then decided on adopting had beenrogurded with great satisfaction both in tho colonies and at homo. At homo they had seen the advant-g-. of it in tho addition of tho list of shareholders of Bovoralgentlonion of con bidorablo standing und llnancml ability, and in tho colonies they had louud tbut tho change was regarded with great favour not only by the sharoholdorfl, but by tbo customors, and it had also boon favourably noticed by tho colonial press. Ho tboughiitnccO-Sary that thoy should not forgci the very strong position ot tho bank. It had a paid-up capital ol £1,500 008, a reservo fund of £816,000, and a reserve bability of £3,000,0.0, which w«s double the amount of that of any othor bank In the colony. Tho chairman of the last meeting, with vo'ygrcat ability, ad vortod to tho cause and effect of tbo groat wavo of depression which wns then pasßing over tho colonio". That depression, although it bad beon somewhat mitigated in extent, did all'ect tho colony in tbo half-year to which the accounts now submittod related, and ho thought it very satisfactory that in tho face ot that depression, tho directors had not ouly bien ablo to main tain the dividend, but to carry forward a small additional sum to that carried forward before. Iho chairman at the l»8t meeting said ho thought there were brighter prospocts for the colony, and ho was glad to bo ablo to stato that from the most recent accounts it would seem that that prediction was bolngf ulffiled. A good harvest and a good wool clip had favourably all'ected both the pastoral and agricultural in t-.rest. of tho colony. Frjm tho statistical accounts it appeared that the increase in the numhor of sheep in 1879 was 1,000,000, as compared with tho number in 1878, tho year following tho terrible drought, and the increase in iho produce of wool was 35,200 bales in 1870 over 1878. The price no doubt had not been so good as it was in 1876, preceding the time of tho great drought, tho decrease being nearly £! a balo. Still it was satisfactory to sco that an increase had takon place, and that at the presont moment tho prices woro compara tively good. W itli regard to the produco of gold, it had DeOn steadily decreasing during the laßt tun years-Binee the year 1856. when tho yield was £12,000,000, down to 1579, when it was £I,ooo,ooo—and ho thought it would bo very satisfactory to them to learn that a corsiecrable impetus had bo. n givon to tho gold mining in dustry by tho now discoveries which have takon placo at Ballarat, which must be of contiderable advantage to all who had business relations with the colony. But they must not forget that thoso very favourablo repor s, although th.y were satisfactory to thoso who were interested in tho welfare of tho colony, do not alfect banking operations in tho sumo manner, because very great prosperity meant abundance of money, and therefore a Btateof tll'ngs which presented less favourablo opportunities for lucrative investments of tho funds of the bank, but ho was glad to bo ablo to state that it ap pcarod from tbe last accounts that tho operation of ihe bank for tbo lastsix monUiß had beenof a satisfactory character. With regard to the accounts now submittod, ho old not know that there was any special feature which'req-ilrcd any comment from him. Tho deposits bad incronsed £200,000 over thoso of tho last half-year, when they showed a decrease, as compared with Ju: y, 1579, which was explained by the chairman of the last meeting to be owing to the withdrawal of funds held by them on behalf of one of tho Colonial Governments. - he specie in hand, and cash balances, and tho nioneyutcallandonshorC notice, amounted to nearly half a-miliion moro than their paid-up capital, so that their resources wero in a very liquid Bt.ato. These accounts bad, on all previous occasions, been most carefully investi-iated by a committee of tho directors ap- ' pointed for that purpose, who had made most ample provisionfor every bidanddouot ul|debt. The shareholders were awaro, no doubt, that under the provisions of tho Act of 1879, when they became limited company, it was nocessaiy that tho-o should be two auditors elected by tbo shareholders, and he was glad to think that the shareholders had been suc.esslulin obtaining tho sorvice of two . uch ablo gentleman as their present auditors. He believed tho Auditors wero well satisfied with tho u-counts, but they had made a suggestion that it would bo better that the accounts, both in tho colonies and at homo, should bo brought down to ono date, and, as was stated in tho roport, tho direct rs had decidod that tho accounts should bo mad« up to the last day of February and the last day ot August in each half-rear. That would neces.i tate the meeting being held three weeks later, hut that could bs done without any alteration beingmado in the deed of settlement. ') heefleot of that would be that, at the next half-yearly meeting they would have to deal with eight months colonial accounts, and only two months' London accounts; but afterwards tho accounts would bo made up to a uniform date, and would bo for an even six months, both for tho colonial and London business. Tho auditors, ns share holders were aware, wore elected at tho special
