INDUSTRIAL HOME INQUIRY.

THElndustriul Home inquiry was resumed at:2.30 p* mi yesterday, when;.Mr. G."; M... Main, a member of the ,'f.Herald" staff,. was examined; The witness said he bad taken a very active, interest, in the^ dhai-.it-. able institutions of this nature' during the last twenty-two years. He had frequently visited the Industrial School—at all hours of,the day, and on Sundays as well as week-days. His impression was that the. Home was successful, and' that the manage? ment hail avoided the errors of previous in stitutions which had ended in failure. He believed the children well-cared for, and better fed, clothed, and attended to than", nine-tenths of the children of•-?_ the labouring classes in Auckland. Everything was conducted tidily, and in an orderly »nd decorous manner. The children were well conducted, and appeared to show con siderable affection for the master-i and matron;- At* the close of Mr Maih's'evi dence the ladies were asked if they wished to put any questions to the witness, and they replied in the negative. Andrew Stewart, treasurer, and W. C. Kensington/We of the j co-secretaries, were . also examined. Tne latter said ire - had seen' a- gfriat 'deal of the working of the institution,- and had been tnere at all hours, but he had never seen anything lo indicate that the children wpre no *".Propcrly cared for. Mr Habens sfate'd that he had taken, evidence in reference to jnealloged improper conduct bvthe master towards two girls (one named Bell), but no i OTi°v boratlv6 evidence of a reliable nature nad been adduced. The enquiry was then adjourned till 2.30 p.m. to-morrow. The commissioner proceeded to Kojiimarama, m_vay ffi _eferei>oe to, the, enquiry. idto the" management of the Naval Tiaining School.

Meetings of Ratepayers.

TE*AVTAMUTU RATEPAYERS;

The apnu.nl meeting i.t the ratepayers of the Raogiaohia Highway District was held in the Public Hall, Tc Awamutu, on July 31st.

The expen diture, £1072 8a Sd, leaving a balance in hand of £3 4s 9d. The report, which was then read by Mr Parrel the clerk, referred to the" fhatiy improvements which had re spited during the past three years. To the building of the bridge across the Mangnhoi; ti the excellent church ro^d. Iho trustees had been led to believe that funds would have been forthcoming.; from the sale lauds, but in this they had been disap pointed. Thanks to the assistance of Mr P. A. Whitaker, the energetic member for Waipa, they had received a special graut of £750. The sum of £350 had beeu ap portioned for the road from To Awamutu to Puniu. Communications had beeu made by the trustees of the Rahgiaohia Highway District to those of the Mauga piko district, and also to the trustees of. the Mission property^ through whose estate the proposed tyad Would run. The latter had afforded eVery facility, but the trustees of the Maucap.ko Mad raised objections.- /The trustees for the past year declined' re-elec tion. The fo^dwlhg ratepayers wore then proposed, secohded, and declared duly elected trustees\frir the ensuing' year :— Messrs Whitfield.! Wt Corboy, John W. Bond, and Wallop; Auditors: Messrs Sloane and J. W..; Bridgmau. Fence viewers : Messrs R. Bell;rind Moncrieff. It was then proposed by Mr Burke that a rate of Cd iv the £be Struck.

NE WC ASTLE RATEPAYERS. ; The annual meeting forytK-. ejection of trustees for the Newcastle .District Board, held at Whata Whata on J'unb 30, was probably the" Warmest" Road B^ard meet ing ever held in^thia neighbourhood. Two Road Boards were elected—one under the Local Elections Act- recently ;Ki-d\ight into forcd ; and one under the old system. The latter Board was elected by a» in the district who hold that the Local Elections Act is not legl(Jly:_inl-fdtce,. ; The conse quence was a most uußeetnly scuffle between the members of the; two' Boards for posses sion of the books,. itli;|; whichiltibi.e "jiuman forms divine '';'of^hi£jeadirigiSltlers were severely damaged, and themitter was ended by the books being taken possession of by ■the police.- What the final result will be remains to be seen; but should the helliger aut parties decide to transfer thobscene of operations' to"'a Court of Law, we trust that both will have the good'sense to see that the ratepayers' funds are not wasted, or this work muddled while combatants arc"putting new hats on the lawyers."

NEW ZEALAND ALLIANCE.

The iirst public meeting of the New Zealand Alliance (Auckland Branch) was; held last night iv the Temperance. Hall, ifor the purpose of organisation, and receiving the names ami subscriptions of members. Rev. S.: Edger, 8.A., in the chair. The chairman ['•juas supported by ndarly all the members of the Committee of tlie "Tota.l7Abstinence Society. Mr Edger explained' the simple objects of the neW movement, which were the waiting upon oHe'COmmongrotind meu i who were desirous of lessening and ultimately suppressing the drink traffic. He believed there was a general feeliug that some practical effort should be made to suppress the liquor traffic which was; un questionably one of the greatest social evils •of the day. The policy of the new alliance Avowed that it was "neither right nor '.politic for the State to afford legal protection and sanction to any traffic or system that tended to increase crime, to waste the natural resources, to corrupt the social habits,' and to destroy the health aud lives of the people." 7 Mr Edger then stated the basis of mem bership, which would be the payment of a •Subscription of not less than 2s 6d, and an Adhesion to the declaiation of policy, members agreeing to support all measures that have for their object the furtherance of the policy therein set forth, either politically, municipally, or otherwise, such members would be expected to support only such candidates for seats and borough ''{.oun.ils, highway boards, and in Parlia ■ rnent as were favourable either to the i-Permiasive Bill, or Local Option Bill, and • 'he thought the basis was fair and equitable 'and likely to be acceptable to all. (Cheers.) .IM "John Brame moved the fifstresfil.."-* tion, viz., "That the basis of membership be as specified in the circular, and that the •policy ot the executive be as contained in 'the two-i following sections :—'ln all elections'! for members of Parliament, of ,Municipl- Boards, Itoad Boards, &c, to abstain .frhrnyVoting for such candidates as are opppee^lothc Permissive Bill, oi-Local Optionfejrty'Apct to vote for such as favour these m-a'-fefesri-'prpvided t^ero were oo i 'serious oofactiou- on Other grounds.'

ASSAULTING CONSTABLE DEWS,

James Hogan was brought up on a charge of violently assaulting Constable Arthur Dews at Panmure oh the 30th ultimo.

Mr S. Ifesketh appeared for the accused and pleaded not guilty. 7 • Sub-Inspector Paidy said'the prisoner gave himself up last liight, but" as he had pleaded not guilty,; he must a^k for a remand for the appearance of several witnesses. {." "' ... y Kemanded until Thursday, prisoner be ing admitted to bail,. himself in £20,.a,nd two others in £10 each. WILFUL DAMAGE, Henry aud Alfred Moyle, J as. Bird, Chas. Sims, and Alia and Fedo Diamond, were severally charged, with combining and damaging a valuable piile tree, in Victoria Quadrant on the 28th ult. The lads pleaded not guilty. ....... , Sub-Inspector Patdy said he would with draw the charge against Sims, a3 he was only a spectator. Detective Brennau said he was in the ' neighbourhood of Bowen-street, when his attention was attracted by the shaking of a fine tree, the property of the City Council. The boys were up the tree. On seeing him, they dismounted, and took to their heels, running iv different directions. He procured their names. Chas. Sims deposed that he wa3 on the ground. The six boys were up in the tree. Saw Detective Srennan ; did not know him, or he would have bolted. Could not say who broke the branch off. To Mr Dufaur : Heard the branch crack, and saw it hanging from the tree. Was iv company with the boys, but had nothing to do with breaking the tree. P. A Phillips, Town Clerk, slated that the trees on the hill were the property, and under the management, of the City Council. Mr Dufaui addressed the Court in defence. His Worship : James Bird, I suppose, being a bird you considered you bad a right to be ou the tree. Mr Phillips called his Worship's atten tion to the frequent practice of boys damag ing those trees—but these were the first of the depredations which had been detected. His Worship said he must punish the boys as the warning to other*, but not. to any exteut. One shilling each—costs, two shillings-and-sixpence;being three shillings and-sixpence each, or 48 hours' imprison ment. The boy McDowell, who appeared to be the worst, had been accidentally omit ted on the charge sheet, and thus escaped punishment. THE BOLL CASE. William Henry, and Gustav Albert Blucher, brothers, and James Petra Neilson, a Swede, were again brought up on a charge of feloniously killing a bull (value £0), in the district of the Wade on the 4th July. Snb-luspector Pardy said Detective Jef f cry had not yet returned, and he was not prepared to go on with the case to-day. Mr Dufaur said he nppeared with Mr Heskctti for the -accused and objected to a re.naud as the owner of the bull was now in Court (Mr Maurice Kelly), who could prove that the bull was shot by his orders. Sub-Insp-ictor Pardy ■ said he thought another owner would mike his appearance when the case came on for hearing. He would nsk for a remand until Friday, which was granted, and prisouers admitted to bail. A FREAK OF TEMPER. Mary Ann Freak was' charged with threatening Mary Anu Clarke at Ponsonby, on the 27tb.*irlt.* Defendant did not appear. Mrs Clarke said she had no idea of with drawing the case, as it was one of a very serious nature. Mrs Freak not only used most offensive language, but threatened to remove her nose from her face iv a violent manner. As Mrs Freak did not appear, the Court ordered a warrant to be issued for her apprehension. . — ... -;;.

THE REBELLION IN BURMAH.

A coiuusPONnENT of the " Bombay Gazette "gives the following account of the recentinairrectioninßutinih. He says:— The rebellion of -the Nyoung Oke Piince against King Theebaw has proved a roost un mitigated failure. Itbegan with every pros pect of success, and never, we may confidently asseit, has a finer opportunity been more foolishly and feebly thrown away. The Nyoung Oke, disguised as a monk and witha followingof only twenty-five meu a fortnight ago, oro_i .ed into Upper Burmah, and at the first village he came i.o,"announced his rank and called'for support to inarch on Mauda lay. He received rapid accessions of forces and nttacked-the village of Sin-Boong-Weh, which was taken and burnt without much difficulty. Having done this he seems to have settled down iv a fortified position some "fifteen* miles from^ our border and- there calmly waited as if enough had been dove, and the whole country might be expected to come iv and pay homage. If he had taken Minhla the - Burmese opposition fortress to Thayetmyo, all might have been well, even with such a feeble force, for between Minhla and Mandalay there is nothing that could offer serious resistance. The rebels seemed to have been very badly supplied with arms and ammunition, but a few bold night attacks on the Royalist troops would have almost certainly have resulted in success and supplied them with arm.. Nothing of the kind was done, however, and therefore even the most enthusiastic supporters of Nyoung Oke were unprepared for what happened yesterday. The insurgents seemed to have been making arrangements tor a lengthy stay in their position, and yesterday morning sent thirty men up northwards to get thatch for the bairacks they were building. Th_3 party suddenly camo upon a body of- about 200 of the king's troops, apparently the van-guard of a still larger force marching; from Minhla oh the insurgent camp. The rebels fired into this body and killed four men, and then finding themselves so greatly out-num bered • incontiently turned about and raD.* The Royalists set off in pursuit, firing with tremendous energy, but with no result. The entire iusurgent camp, scared by the heavy firing and the wild accounts of the panting fatigue partyvforth-yvith took to their, hqels, : and headedby the.Nyoung Okehimself,made> for the British frontier at their best pace, They seem to h'aviß been gool at running, for only one of them was wounded, and he so slightly that he was able to get off and is now in Thayetmyo Hospital. - There was a Euro pean superintendent of police at the British frontier police, tbannah, and he forthwith hoisted theßritishflig and disarmed every one who Came ncioss the border.. Only ten musketd/hovveyer, were taken, and there are some who do hot to say that it is all the insurrectionists had among them, though they numbered over 1000 men. The Nyoung Oke himself surrouuded to the superintende'nt,|biit there;was so'much:con-' fusion when a little later the' Royaliats. came up, squibbing off their guns in all directions^ that1 he aisappeared|and made off further dow*h in't6'English territory. He. has |no. bc:h.taken iyet, but is reported to be at a villago (Moboung) halfway between Thayettojio and the frontier. It is whispered that: t__e_government officials along the bor der have instructions to be judicaily blind,; so that in case there seems. a chance the- Prince may start a fresh rebellion. How ever that may be, it is certain that the rising from the Irrawaddy side is utterly -crushedfor the present ■-~-;.-; ..... -- -

FIRE INSURANCE.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—My letter, to which you kindly gave insertion in the Star of Thursday last, has provoked too very curious replies. That from "O.K. " is weak, but courteous. That from "Alliance" is neither polite; nor strong. He loses temper and get. into a passion—the unfailing sign of a shaky cause. He, moreover, indulges in personal insinuations, which it is not usual for a gen tleman to do. I think I may safely dismiss both as having utterly failed to substantiate their case, and they appear to be alive to it too. -Yet"- *••'-" • ;■-•"''■:•*■*

A man convinced against his will Is of the same opinion Still.

My contention Was that exceptional risks necessitate- charges corresponding to those risksiand that. though stone buildibgs, perse, are ippresafe;" yet, where they.are in.close proximity to, or surrounded by, wooden houses, they, too, may be consumed very easily ; in short, as the strength of a chain depends on its weakest link, so. does the immensity from fire, to a great extent, rely .on the surroundings. The numerous fires, which from various causes, have "been, so prolific in New Zealand of late years, were simply disastrous to the insurance offices, and they had no alternation between raising their.,rates or closing their business altogether; It is incorrect to assert that the management has been extravagant; on the contrary,'our local offices, have been, and-are* aa catefully and as economipally conducted as any: similar institutions else

where, and a very little trouble and In quiry might have, satisfied both your correspondents of the fallacy of their positions had they really been in earnest to see.—Yours, &c,

Fair Play.

THE REV. MR. EDGER AND THE SPIRITUALISTS.

The "Banner of Light" (Boston) claims the Rev. Mr Edger,- of- Auckland, as a leading apostle of Spiritualism. It con trasts the.discourse recsntly. .delivered -by him with the utterances of the Rev. Joseph Cook;, who was at one time believed to be witlrthe Spiritualists, but who, in a recent address, said that after weeding Qht. all the fraud and counterfeit of Spiiitualism, there remained a " winnowed .residuum " which had not been explained away, but he saw "no reason for attributing this re siduum to departed "spirits"; there must "be a force unknown to science worthy of inves tigation, psychic in character, transcen dental in physics, a new world in philo sophy. The observations and deductions of Prof. Zollner and the other emineut Germans who have experimented With Slade, could not be overlooked." . The. "Banner of Light" contrasts this un satisfactory conclusion with Mr Edger's utterances. It says :—

" From the far-off isles of the sea come voices that convey fresh vigorous thought in respect to the great and living truths of Spiritualism. "While an orator of Joseph Cook's staudiug is mounting the colonial pulpit of the Old South Church iv Boston to declare that, if there is even a grain of truth in Spiritualism it is as yet an un defined mystery, from distant Now Zealand wo have the report of a thoughtful and im pressive discourse preached by Mr Edger, at Auckland, in which he admit, and an nounces that "the spiritual character of the Church; including its perfect Catho licity and unity—for they can never be separated-is now represented by Spirituals ism.'' 7

"Two more opposed opinions on the same subject could hardly be framed. The one shows on its fuce, a mind that is pre determined to deny both outward and visible facts and profound spiritual truths— which he finds it impossible to subordinate to his pumose : the other manifests a mind open and receptive to the sunlight of truth from whatever side it may shine in upon it —a spirit that is nthirst for the truth of heaven, and that does not pause to inquire whether it comes down filtered through the sieve of ecclesiastical authority, or descends like the silent dews on the needy earth."

"In speaking oi Spiritualism on its merits alone, Jthe New Zenlaud preacher ficely allows that "as a form of religious belief and feeling, - apart from the extravagance that generally belongs to religious move ments iv their imperfect stages, in spite of popular contempt, it is without doubt one of tho greatest powers of the age." Then follows his impressive statement of belief and conviction thus : " That there is an un seen world far exceeding the visible in greatness and worth ; that that world is the most real world, ond.os near to us n 3; our inward thoughts and sense of inward life ; thut the iuflucnce of flint world reaches into this, to be experienced and cherished by us; that by a continuity'of existence those who arc no longer visible are none the less present with.us, pone the less capable of mutual intercourse ; these are couceptions that must lie at the foundation of auy reli gion, if religion is to be anything more than a sy-tom of ethics, nud is to have an influence over the affections commensurate with its power to guide the judg ment. And this is Spiritualism!" Nos'mple statement on auy purely religious theme could well be more lucid and impres sive. The most thut the theological carper and critics could say in reply and in deroga tion would be, that religion is all a mystery —a mystery all ; past finding out; that what little is definitely kuown about it has been committed to tho custody of ecclesias tics, who themselves can ogrec in nothing ; that there is no safety, whatever that may precisely mcau, except in the dogmas and damnation of the ironclad creeds, against which, we must add, mankind has been wealing out its better life for century after century ; and that nil speculations without priestly permission is dangerous, as all re ceptions of the truth except at their hands is damnable. That would be the best answer which these oppos.rs of Spiritualism could make, and it would constitute about the whole of it."

" Now hear our Now Zealand preacher once more, upon whose inward vision the true heavenly light has dawned. " If, then," says ha, " the lament _3 general that material ideas and tastes —I mean something more than intellectual theories—havedebasel the moral toue and life of the age.actingwith concentrated force in the deterioration of the ■ Church, it should be apparent to the thoughtful that tho on'y antidote to this melancholy tendency must be found in more pov-jorful convictions of unseen things. Un seen things, however, without unseeu beings, will never have reality to us, nor will invisible beings have much reality when seveied entirely from our own earth life. This is the feeling that justly gives cogency to Spiritualism. • And it wilt do so." . '; " And he concludes in the same impres sively thoughtful manner—" No less certain, is it\that 11 convection which brings us into fellowship with the great post—not as a dead past, but a.a past living 011 into the present —must by its grand immensity put an end to all remnants of narrowness and. make us truly catholic. A spiritual catholicity must precede a renewed faith and life. . . ; The minds of men must come into that dis passionate condition iv which they cap prove all things and hold on to the good only; There will then remaiu the most precious residuum of the reality, aud nearness, and unfolding of heaven, which neither the un biassed judgment nor the heart, pure in its affections, .will bo at all likely to abandon at, the bidding of a few avowed professional liars." "■ " ■'.'.'.'.; .'; ... •;.

" Here is at last one man who rejoices in the truth wherever ho finds it. Is it not time that the world at large received' the baptism of .belief in a new way,, anil, as, if,.i.t were illumined with a fre3h revelation ."

HANLAN AND TRICKETT.

The following-amusing reflections are;by; " Pendragon " in' the"" Keft-ree "'.—" As' the match for the so-called Championship of the World and the Cliampionship of England, Canada, and the United States to boot, is said'tb be a<* good as arranged~be- tween Hanlau and Trickett, it is legitimate - o wonder what is likely to bo the outcome of a meeting between two such doughty deedists. In deference to the feelings of Australians, and iv view of Trickett's easy ■victoVy over our own champion in 1876, doughty is a term which may fairly bo accorded Trickett without much fear of misapplication ; but if he is doughty, what adjective ,may,, s ,best be applied to 'Hanlan? An easy facullysof forgetfulness is convenient at tiniesi 7&_j'd A soems to-be particularly so just how.T^TO myLminfe hbSvever, it is difficult to reconcile the;calm talk about a match between.'_rricketi!,...nd Hanlan with the ( ,feyprish.desire of. tw.clVo. months a<!.<|'Jo'-sen^ outfEiliott for.;the. purpose of "VrßStllhg,; MtHbut auy _&§_£_'&_. difficulty or dauger-^'the proud title of Champion of the World from the Aus tralian's'" brow, "or wherever He might' happen to . wear, its token. ... .Once jor twice I ventured to remark on the folly of sending out Elliott on this wild-goose chase, and. was sat upon with more or less success by certairi.people-who' were sulc-that the sort.ot scttliing chariji.bfl'we'had rT'ev.elopp.d.' since Trickett's visit here"' would make* small work indeed of the Antipodean. Is i^pot rather singular to find the same, peo ple who were sure Elliott coilld be&t "Trickett now so busy in arranging a match between Trickett and Hanlau? If public form is anything, Hanlan is about half a mile in four miles better than Elliott was at his best, andiso: either Elliott would have had no chance whatever With "Trickett,' Or Trickett can have nd chance'in this world with Hanlan. The strange determination of Trickett.not to go to America, where:,sq. much inducement is.held put tovhim.-ahd'. hiS curious rejection: of Boyd-*- challenge at' the end of last week, make the proposed meeting next November, when one or two other little peculiarities are thrown in, rather too much of a boltW-"fei_*_;asy diges tion.

Mining News.

New Golden Ceow_.G,M. Company.— The Mine Manager reports ;—" To the Di rectors New Golden Crown G.M. Company • Gentlemen, —I herewith forward the fol lowing report for the past fortnight. Bat. tery Level.—The No 1 reef at this level hns been; driven a distance of 67ft. along iis course, being 50ft; to the western' side, and 17fr.|to the eastern side of the cross._ut. On the latter side but little work has betn done sincfe last report as the men have been .removed and .put to'work.at. No. 2 reef at same level. The reef on the western side of cross-cut/xratinues its usual couse; avera ging 2ft*. ""iii thickness, ' well ydeiined .and in tight country. ' The I appear-, ance of the quait- at present is not quite so promising as it looked a few feet further back. No. 2 reef at balterj level has .beef.* driven a distance jbf I.sft. The, quartz has a promising appearance, "hut so far no gold has been seen. Intermediate Level : The only work carried on at this level is the crosscut to intersect 'tlie'leader known as Herivels, which is expected"in a few feet further driving. Slow progress is being made, as the drive at present is going through a very hard bar.—Battery : JThp Messrs Price are making good progress iv fixing the berdansiand other works in con^ ncction with the battery. I would iecom mend that a cross-cut be put in at the surface level to intersect tho Nos. 1 and 2 battery level reefs. Sixty feet of driving will cut No. 1, and 30ft. further will cut. No. 2 reef. A winze could then be sunk', from surface level to battery level. The object of this would be, |having the reefs .^6 work on at both level. - better ventilation, as well.as working the mine to better advantage when stopiug. This work might be started as soon as Herivel's leader ia cut at the Intermediate, as, also open up leaders or droppers from the main reef. I£ the Board authorise I will start six men on the work accordingly. | I put in a tender to the Thahies County Council for two sluce heads of water, at £3 per head pdf week for twb years.

THE PUMPING ASSOCIATION.

A meeting was held yesterday aftcrnoou, at Mr I*. A. White'sl office;110 take steps'to prevent the stoppage- of the big pump. From a statement submitted by Mr White, it appeared that some of the mines asses-' sed had paid and others had not. The cost of worldhg the pump for ten mouths was £3,758. .The ordinary contributions during tho same period was £2,009. There was a deficiency of '£174 18s ono very month tho pump'was worked, the cost of keeping it going being at the rate of £375 lGs a month. The Moiuiataiii Com* pany'hadiiot only paid its own contribu tion, but had advauced £900 to keep the pump going, and Mr Stone said the Com pany were re?olvcd to bring the matter to an issue. Promises of nil sorts were made, but had resulted iv nothing; practical,., art while the MdariatJiri Company evinced a readiness to, go on .paying, the other com panies would .not bestir them«elves to assist.—Considerable discussion ensiled,'tile meeting being ultimately adjourned till Friday at two o'clock without, having airived a. any' decision.

WATER CHARGES.

;77 (To the Editor.) 7.i 77 ". Sir, —" Ratepayer's "letter, is not quite. pl-Mu, and "I think he Is. out iv his cost of pumped water wh n all expenses are in cluded. lam told it is nearer Cd than 3J I, and if the charge by meter is Is 3d and Is Gd, it must be borne iv mind that for every thousand gallons paid for, three or four thousand gallons are pumped in arid run from j stand pipes or into the sewers without any payment being received, hence" tho cost is somewhat different as regards withdrawing meters from domestic supplies. Whatever is done in this matter, all should be placed on the same footing, and not give any particular advantage to any at present. The arrange ment is not quite just,—l am, &c,

AUCKLAND TIMBER COMPANY.

The third annual meeting of the above named company was held late yesterday iafternoon, in the office, Custom Honse stfC-t East, Cap'.aiu Daldy (chairman of the directors) presiding. There. wefre between fifteen uud twenty shareholders present. The following report was presented :—" The' directors have pleasure in presenting to the i shareholders their report and balance-sheet for the year ending June 30th, 1880. Tho I balance-sheet shows a profit of £16,277 59 Id, , froln which.',the sum 0f.£1562 12s has,been, 'wiiften offfor'lhe depreciation during the .year,.leaving a net profit of £14,714 13s Id. ■Your'directors recommend the payment of '•V'-Ji'viden-l at the rate' of 10 per cent., araountiug to £6000, leaving- a * balance to carry forward of <£5714 13s Id.' It is neces sary for yott to elect a 'director in ttjoroOni' of G. Iloiu.*-hlp, l E_q., ; whb retires in accord-. nnco with'articles of association, but is eligible, and offers himself for re-election. It is the'duty of this niOeting t6 elect an auditor for the ensuing year, and fix his remuneration. Tho<dividend will bo pay able on implication' tit the.'Company's oilice, Custom _3ouse-s't'lfeet.!" The balance-sheet was also submitted along with the report. The Chairman, in moving their adoption, Referred inthe first place to the satisfactory '•manner in which the exceptional difficulties of"the pastyear-,caused by the overstock in!* of the timber market and the tightness bf°money—had; been'coped with and sur. Mounted. Notwithstanding the disadvan tage- under which thoy had..laboured, he ■thought that the shareholders would teel pleased with the balance-sheet. It shewed that they held' in saleable stock and debts £59,000, against liabilities outside capital ace.ot.nt of £28,000. Tbey havd increased their property ac.ob.nt £3000, their stock account £8000, and after payment of divi dend recommended* (10 per cent.) theie would be added to the balance to ; carry for war-d outiPf the year's, profits £1,762. The _J.rqo.ora .'.had-- written oil £1,500 from prope'rtiei. which ' they . considered ; might have beed reduced in, value,by removal, of timber or otherwise. These fi<nire. showed progress and, extension. With regard-tb th'iir future, pro.p.cfs he, might say.that,"their, expenses would, be reduced "in many ways-by the removal of the mill from Newton, while all their mills •were in 'first-class working order, with a stock of logs for each. They now possessed in Auckl-md'one of. the b.st' mills and manufactories'in, the. Southern hemisphere,; i two mills on harbours where vessels of .'large, tonnage could load in safety; exten si ve''fort-it property, comprising 14,000 acres bt, freehold land, a large .portion of which was forest, besides extensive lease hold bushes in various .positions from Mongonui to. Kennedy's 3ay, The.Mqn gonui property itself was 7,000 acres free-, hold,- with a very large amount of timber which had never been woiked. They bad .all the requisite..machinery for the erection tpf a first-class, mill,' but the directors, with fhe work they l"|d Ois hand and low price.-, lid not feel justified to push, on this, enter trise. 'Ihe Chairmani concluded/> by xpressihf his unabated confidence in the. ?Companyrand liy attributing in great part, the measure of success which they liadmet with to-the energy of-the manager (Mr Geo.
