OFFICIAL CENSUS RETURNS.

ELECTORATE OF WAITEMATA, The official population returns for tbe i electorate of Waitemata have just been , compiled by the Chief Census Enumerator, aud are lure subjoiucd. They shew an increase of 775 for the three yeats, or just 245 in excess of the approximate estimate published some >veeks ago, while during the three years the number of buildings has risen from 787 to 1045. The largest iu crease ba3 taken place in the ridings of 1 Takapuna and Waitakerei : the former from 1 its]contiguityto thecity keeping abreast with ! its advance ; and the latter receiving an ; impulse from the augmentation of its gum : dicing population. The decrease in the ; number of dwellings at Weiti is accounted ! for by tho migration of the digging popula -1 tion to " fresh fields " after demolishing their whares, while the decrease in the Manukau riding is explained by the bum [ ing down of a mill there, thus throwing i many men out of employment. The • figures altogether are very satis factory for they conclusively prove that i Waitcmata has been progressing " pari • passu " with other districts. The returns \ are as follow :—

!The population iv IS7B was 3,443, and it now is 4.215, thus shewing an increase of 775.

THE BLANCHE BAY MASSACRE

The Rev. Geo. Brown's Defence. At the Wesleyan Conference, lite Rcy. George Brown defended his conduct in punishing the natives of New Biitaiu for the massacre at Blanche Bay. Be said: "Very few had more opportunities of thoroughly understanding the native char acter than himself. He had knocked about the world a good deal, and no one had been brought into more intimate contact with the natives of Polynesia 1 than himself. He had not usually been blamed for taking too much care of himself, : but the other way. His act was therefore ; not that of a timid or fearful man who was ; needlessly alarmed for his own life or that ; of those under his charge. He first went t to New Britain in 1875, when there was not one white man there. Traders hal never been able to effect a settlement there. Two ' who had attempted it had been compelled to flee, with their house in flames over their heads. They must remember also that the whole district was in a state of intertribal war. It must be remembered also that previous attempts at treacherous murder had been barely frustrated. At the fatal time the four teachers had been on the hills at Blanche Bay, where they had seen great numbers of people. They reported! the circumstance at the regular meeting, and sought permission to go among them. He inquired if the way seemed safe, and was answered affirmatively. They went to preachiChrist, and he was himself just starting—his boat being in the water — for tbe very, place when news came of their brutal murder. The teachers went, they slept one night among the people, and the next day were savagely killed. When the tidings became known, all the tribes round . about became instantly increasingly de moralized. A message was sent by the in stigator of tbe mutder to himself that tbe . yams were ready which he intended to eat ■ with the missionary. Sworn testimony of " this fact and of the imminent jeopardy of , the remaining teachers, with the women and children of the entire mission party, was given before the captain of the Dante. No ono could tell the fearful responsibility it cast|upon him at the time. Had they heard the widows and orphans crying and be moaning their dead, while wondering what i could be done they might havo partly under stood it Moreover, he ascertained tbat some of the natives had fully determined to ■go on a similar expedition without consult ing him, and had they gone then their lives would most certainly have been sacrificed. He called in the Samoan teachers and ex , pressly forbade them. With regard to tho expedition itself, it was divided into two parties. Having no arms, the traders sup plied them, and though no life_ was sacri ficed by the party with which he was directly connected, there was some bl,ood shed by the other. The original Recounts , were doubtless greatly exaggerated hy the native tendency to brag ot tfteir exploits. Captain Purvis, of tl^e fyaruo, -\y_io cofl ducted t;fye investigation, cpvild not find that more, than ten, instead ot eighty, were known to have fallen, The captives who were taken, and tbe wounded, were kindly treated and cared for. As to the burning o villages it was easy to overrate tho import ance of such tbiugs. Their re-ereefciott was only the work of a couple of days, and on sanitary grounds it wflfl.d bp a go<?d thing to butft them fsve^y six months o? sr. On very next day after tbo pxpeditipn chiefs sent for liim. and be went anions them unarmed. He talked with them, they distinctly ac knowledged thepropriety ot his conduct.and doelared that if lie had not so acted the whole party would have been killed. They exchanged presents and established friendly relation, which had never since been in teirupted. In the veiy villages that were burnt they had achieved great spiritual success. They found the bones of some of the teachers who had been cooked and eaten in some of the villages, that |were burnt. After all t^iis, he thought he might i insist on an answer to the question—What i ought he to have done ? If he had adopted J the only alternative he would have taken ; care of himself and left tho teaohers and tliei^- families to perish, or worse. Looking bt^ck, he said, hctneistly he did not see what else he could have done than he d.id. He wight ask if he had not shown bis love fpr the native people, He had spent the best years of his life for them. He con cluded by referring to an incident that had been mentioned with approval when in | South Australia years ago, when he had refused to deliver up a native woman to an infuriatod ohief, risking everything in her defence, and resolving to resist her capture by force if necessary. If that was justifi able on the same principle the later act was much more so. The Conference, after a lengthy discus sion, passed the following resolution: — " That this Conference has heard with the deepest regret the Missionary Secretary's account of the Blanche Bay massacre and the expedition which followed it, and hereby expresses its tenderest sympathy with the Rev. George Brown in bis great peril in that massacre, and his embarrass ment in having to provide so suddenly and unaided adequate means for the safety of the mission party, From the evidence now | before us, and which we have carefully examined, it fully appears to us that in i the judgment of the natives themselves jMr Brown has acted justly; and while re affirming, in view of the wide discussion ! which has been carried on in reference to _______________w________________m_w_i

his case, the principle which uuforZ „ mr missionary operations-that «?• • a" interposes cannot be sanctioned i» ft .onduct -it records its judgment tl, ?•tbeir present case Mr Brown acted in tf- the the mission teachers aud their famiit nce °' not violated the regulations wffij our missionary work, aud rfflW confidence of this Conference:"
