Mr Cooper next disputed the statement that civilisation originated with the Cau casian race, contending that both Chinese and AEtco civilisation had attained a nigh development while the Caucasians were plunged in semi- barbariauism. Mr Brown argued that the leading minds of the ages had sprung from the Cau casian race. He was not aware that he had said that all civilisation had come directly from the Caucasians, for it might be that some of the early progenitors of the race had : wandered to China and Mexico, carrying their civilisation thither with them.

Mr Cooper proceeded to show that in order .to believe that the deluge was only local and partial we would require a series of miracles quite as stupendous as those which Mi- Brown saw in connection with a belief in the universality of the deluge. For instance, the nature of the country in Armenia was such th«t in order that the waters should overflow the mountains the flood would have had to be enclosed within mighty walls, as Ararat was 17,000 feet high. This was a miracle as great as that required for the tramportation of the animals in the ark to and from tho various countries of the earth. , , , . , ~ . Mr Brown maintained that in believing the flood to be but local he stood side by side with most of the noted geologists of the day, and in their writings voluminous evidence was given of local deluges having occurred in different parts of the earth at various stages of its existence. So tar as difficulties were concerned, he had only to say that we could not go into the past with out encountering difficulties. We had to believe certain statements, many of which were quite beyond our comprehen-' sion. There were numerous passages _in the Scriptures having a universal bearing which no one would think of giving more than a partial application. Thus acore« of passages might be cited, in which the land of Palestine was spoken of as if were the whole earth. Mr Cooper then reviewed his opponent s speculation, viz., that the Adamites were created to bless the inferior races of the earth, and that having failed, the second Adam, Christ, had effected the purpose. He argued that as God was the Father of Malay, Negro, American^ and Mongol, as well as of the Caucasian, it was incredible to think that He should doom any of them to conquest or slavery. He held that Mr Brown s theory contradicted itself, for one could hardly believe that the Adamites " blessed " the inferior races by conquering and subduing them. Conquest had rarely been productive of 'blessing to any people. Besides, if these inferior races were in such a low and wicked state, we had to suppose that sin existed in the world before Adam entered it, a doctrine that was in direct variance with the teaching of the New Testament, whereas if they lived in a sinless state they had no need of the Adam ites to bless them by conquering and sub dning them. In support of this contention Actß XVII, and 26th and Romans V. and 12th v. were quoted. If Mr Brown believed in pre-AdamiteS, the latter verso raised this difficulty also, Mr Brown said that he did not remember having made the statement which Mr Cooper had attributed to him. (Cries of "jon did," I heard yon," etc.) Very •well, then, he would not contest tho point In saying that conquest never brought with it blessings to the conquered, Mr Cooper must «urely have forgotten the history of the decline and fall of the Roman empire. The assumption, therefore, wai that the German race were not now living in a more beneficent condition than when, in their wild, savage state they were brought 'under the domination of the Romans, Coming nearer home, had the British carried blessings to tne Maoris 1 Or had they not? Then with regard to the state of the pre-Adamites : We could not speak of them as tinnets unless they had moral laws, the transgression of which was sin. St. Paul said that those who lived without law, perished without law. Mr Cooper, in closing, having romarked that his contentions remained unrefuted, passed on to ridicule Mr Brown's oft repeated assertion, that _ there wasjroom in the Bib'e for all ths possible dlscoveriesof Bdence—for evolution as against special creatioD,—for partial as opposed to a universal deluge, etc. He supposed that whether the deloge proved to be but a puddle in the streets of Cain's city, Enoch, or a flood which had drowned the stars and blotted out the sub, there was room for it all in Genesis.

Mr Brown thought that Mr Cooper had taken a license with some of his expressions and given them applications which he had himself never contemplated. When he stated the opinion that should coming days demonstrate to the world that Darwin was right in his theory of evolution, he said also that in Genesis there were evidences of existing races when Adam first stepped our earth, and that if Darwin wanted to write the Genesis of this race he had room to write It from the Bible. He challenged anyone to deny that statement. Moreover, when he apoke of the Deluge he had simply stated, if science disproved the universality of the flood, in which ne did not believehimself.thatGenesis taught so too. The Bible would live in spite of the scepti cism by which it was assailed. He did not profess to be able to untie all the knots in it, bnt if he could suggest a line of thought compatible with the Book that would untie any perplexing knots, or dispel the darkness trom some minds, so far would he feel thankful. In future lie would not accept a challenge to such another discus sion, except from a leading theologian of the ' place — a representative man —to whom the people looked up and by whose defeat or victory they would be greatly influenced^ Mr Cooper was not such a person, although, he might be awe to defend himself with no less ability. Mr Cooper, in reply, complimented Mr Brown upon his manliness in being pre pared at all times and against all comers to discu?s his doctrines, and remarked upon the pusillanimity of the local clergy in declining to meet him in debate. He did not wish to be compared in any way to the parsons, and least of all to Mr Webb. The benediction was then pronounced, and the assemblage dispersed.

TOKATEA G.M. COMPANY. ANNUAL MEETING.

The annual meeting of the Tokatea G.M< Co. was held at Coromandel yesterday, F. Woollams, Esq., presiding. The following report and balance-sheet were read :—

The directors have great pleasure in pre senting the shareholders of this company ■with their twelfth annual report, and the balance-sheet for the year .ending Septem ber 30th, 1881. .-.■•■ ...... The continuation of the main tunnel, known as No. 7, has been the main con sideration of the directors since the last meeting of shareholders, the future develop ment of the mine depending upon this work being accomplished. The face of the tun nel is now 250 feet within the company's boundary line, leaving 175 feet to reach the perpendicular of winze 65 down from van level, and about 600 feet to get to the main Trig reef on the Coromandel side of the range. For the first 100 feet driven within the company's line the reef was considerably disarranged, although the channel of country appeared as good as formerly. After this the reef made into a compact body of solid quartz, about 2 feet wide, showing strong blotches of gold all through the Btone. Sixty-five pounds of good picked stone have been selected from the reef as the drive advances upon it. The company's battery at the mouth of the tunnel has been put in good working order, and ready for a start^mmediately the rise and winze meet, and sloping operations be resumed. From the general appearance and prospects at present showing, the directors believe the mine will prove itself to be as remunerative to the shareholders as formerly. The directors] recommend.that the sum of two hundred pounds be paid as an honorarium ir the usual manner. The retiring directors are Messrs Wool lams, Patterson, and Thomas; they are, however, eligible, and again otter them selves for re-election. You will also be required to elect auditors for the coming year; Mr D. B." Macdonald offers his ser vices, and seeks re -election. .

MISSING SAILORS,

At Port Albert two sailors have been missing from the brig Emily, loading at Topuni mills, since Sunday last. Their disappearance is mysterious, from the fact that one only joined the vessel on the Thursday previous, and the other, Carl Pearson, had about twenty pounds wages due, and has left behind new boots, clothes, watch and chain. The captain thinks they have deserted, but the crew nro of opinion that they must be drowned. Both men are Swedes.

He went out this morning and returned again about eleven o'clock, when lie was supplied with some bread and butter by his mother, who told him not .to go out again. These instructions would appear to have been disobeyed, for he was not seen at home again during the forenoon, shortly before 2 p.m., the body of a child was observed by a boy named W. Burton, floating in about two feet and a half of water, between the cutter Emily and the breastwark near to Messrs Fraser and Tinne'a foundry, Mechanic's Bay.

The cargo of beef, brought per steamship Garonne, was sold to-day at Smithfield market, and carcasses realised an average of 4d per lb. The cargo had been partially displaced in the refrigerating chambers, owing to the severity of the weather on the voyage, and the meat was therefore not in the best condition.
