:thnt, it also requires .to be made national. Adult education, so far as concerns religion and morals, is given in churches and chapels, and it is depressed, just as schools have .be»n depressed, by want, of unity. As each neighbourhood furnished itself as it was inclined, or as it best could with schools, so has each sect-iurnished itself with its own religious teaching. . If the sect is large or belongs to a cultivated class, or both, it is able to procure good teaching; but if its adherents belong principally'to the less educated classes, or if it is small, then of necessity its teaching .will be-of bad- quality. •;,-.: :■.■::•;.! ;■•■_,; • :<!Thus, ■ from my own ■ starting-point, I arrive' at'"the same conclusion at which :the,' other 'contributor's .to' this. ;yoluine .have arrived from, theirs, namely, that in . religion ■: we want comprehension aji'd Ttnibn.^: Others may show that, division means narrowness^ illiberality, and ignor auco, and that union brings enlightenment, moderation, and tolerance. My object is. to! repeat the old familiar, maxim, that division ,18' weakness, and union strength, Differ -1:11663 of opinion we cannot avoid,'but! we can avoid divisions in organization! and' action. : On one object all re ligious bodies are agreed,—namely, in wishing to ' give people good advice! for the conduct of their lives. What I urge .'is, that if they divide they will give worso^ advice and with fainter^etfect than if they combine. Attempts to'narrow the basis of the Church of Ensland, and to multiply the conditions of tcacherahip in it, whether ■directly or by the indirect method of sever-' ing its, connection with the State, are intel fligible-when they are made, by a certain' class of men—and even justifiable when made ;by another class. Men who do not ' care whether the people are taught religion :and morality or not, but are irri tated with 'the Church for some party reason may intelligibly take this way, of disabling it. Those who wish to demolish, all existing systems with a view of erecting another on their ruins, may be 'justified, by the morality of revolution, in adopting this most promising contrivance: for doing so. But Christians and even religious indifferentists that are not also revolutionists mast be blind indeed to take' such* c, course. It is the direct way to dis credit Christianity,; and, in a Christian country, to discredit Christianity is to dis credit morality.- : i . i j

The order paper of caucuses is! almo^fyas formidable, I am told, a3 the order'*Tjap'ej'of the House of Representatives.. .Auckland 'members seem at last to be waking1 up to a "setise of their position, arid are now Jryinj; to : get their .claims considered^ tally and fairly. Their motto is "Better late than never." "".' , ~ ... ,- B

This'morning the commirtec, appointed by the Auckland caucus on Saturday, wit,., Messrs "Hamlin, Whitaker Wallis, Swan son, Tawhio, and Sheehan, waited upon the Premier and Attorney General with reference to the Redistribution of Seats BilL, Mr Sheeban explained ■ the object of the deputation, and at. the outset said that the meeting which ap pointed the deputation did not attempt in any way to form a block vote or to unite all the Auckland either for or against the Hill. What they desired to place before the Government were one 01 two suggestions of a business character, the outcome of two hours serious: deliberation. ,It had been decided by,the Auckland members that the timehad fuljy arrived, when some regard (should be paid to the large, native popula tion, which, at the present time, was colsc upon 45,000,: and the return for which'was only four members. These natives were practically debarred irom exercising their rote for the election of European members, in the district In "which they reside. He stated that the four native members had held a meeting of their own, and had come to the conclusion that they 'would not like, to see the existing special representation .disturbed, bnt were willing to aid the .Euro pean members inthe North Island in ob taining additional representation of the ordinary kind based upon population, and to be elected in the same manner in which the European members are now elected. What'the deputation really wanted now! "was to know rwhether "the Government' were prepared, to recognise the pro priety of giving, the North Isbn^d1 additional' members ! for the reasons mentioned. The deputation also wished' to know authoritatively what'wer'e the Go-! vernment proposals generally, with regardl to theiSortn Island'with reference to repre sentation '< It,': was pointed xrat by Mr Sheehan that the Government had given a recent" Otago deputation' full information with: regard', to the' representationl bf'tjie i South Island, and the present deputation' were desirous of obtaining similar informa tion with regard to the North'lsland, The Premier, in reply, answered the last ques tion first, by handing to'Mr Sheehau the actual official plan of the sub-division of the districts in the North Island and the official tables shewing the distribution of seats, and the population of each:electorate. These, .tables and. plan had been officially settled;-and thei; schedulesi of the Act will be' prepared according to them. (I may here interpolate and mention that the Auckland- members'.are .now considering' the plan and figures.) - ; With regard to the .demand : for 'increaaed ■; re presentation on1 the ground of:> native, population, the' ministerial utterances ivere no: quite so clear. In the course of consider able discussion, in which several members; took part, the Premier admitted! that there' was aome force in the application made out he did net see how the Government could; take the matter in hand at [present,'' inns ■ 1 much as to give a coupte of additional as to give a couple of additional members to the North the South must be deprived,' Mr Sheehan said he understood^ the' Governments proposed to, give ninety one European members for the colony and: it appeared, to him that if they went in, for a penny, they might as well go in for a pound. If it was right Auckland should have, two additional Members, why not make the total number.93. Mr Swanson followed.* in a similar strain, and Mr Whitaker ajked for a definite reply.' The Premier said he was quite willing to admit'that the present native representa tion was unsatisfactory, because itTgaVe toi 1 %000 natives in the South Island one mom-: ber only, leaving' three representatives for a■, native population of i( 35,000 in tKe North. He strongly thought the! native -people' were not entitled to a fall representation upon the basis.of popu-' lation as Europeans, on, the ground that they did not pay the same full taxation as i Europeans;'- Moreover, a large section'of -them-still- were practically outside -the; pale of the:.law, and, did not admit the "authority of Parliament nor own' allegiance to the'"Queen.'^-Mr "SKeehan-Yq.-.' plied that the disaffected .natives were con fined to:twosection's —The King party! in. Central . Waikatio^ numbering' about 5000. and ,the Parihdka 'people, numbering; aboni '3000; ;Thie'.,!deputatibri':" would; be,,, .quite., prepared, r tb write,, .off.; thoseß,isoo natives, and take representation on the basis of population for the remainder. '— E^yen^ually, the Minister agreed n to con. rider; the'matterduririg.the day/and"to' give :e,n answer at.7.30 to-night.

' There are 22' policies for £3,000;: The Government; have been urged to increase that maximum, but Mr Knight does not advise it unless the Government can be sure of having five of the largest policies taken out annually. The, consulting actuaries thought the premium on old lives too low, but Mr Knight thinks | young lives too low, and experience shows; him to be right, The computations, Dave been made on the H.M. table, and, uot on the Carlylo system. The balance-; shows a surplus on the 30th of June, 18S0, ; •of £73 673; and- it is recommended.-that: £17670' should be carried to a reserve fund; uo;provide'iorurjfbrseen contingencies; and. .y^nutl f n fnr<» linniises._aniLMr_Knj£ht

npon the next liability, and that wonl^ leave a surplus of £5,600 to be divided in bonuses to policy holders. There are five different methods euegested of dealing with the surplus, but the the plan Mr Knight suggests is to distribute the surplus in proportion to the "loading" —that is the difference between the net premiums and the offioe premiums accumu lated at iuterest ..This he considers to be the most equitable plan. He suggests that all holder^ of life and endowment policies^, whose policies'are still, in ; force' and who ha!vc-paid- two-yeara premiums, in fuilyj should participate-in'the' bonuses. He also recomntends that the distribution should be made in this way—that each share.iv. the pj.-pfitß»houldlb.?/converted:into a,Teve.tsion. ary bonus, equivalent with the powilr of exchanging triia - for any other for;n;qf,rbQntis at any time; to pre,yent ; this heing exercised, To the prejudice of the office he.advjses that the" rate of interest.bo calculated.■• so to., neutralise -adverse selection, and 119 proposes, to allow policy holders .the option between taking (1) a reversionary bonus payable at death, which may be computed at any time; (2) Cash" bonus; (3) permanent reductions ,ln premiums payable during life; and (4) temporary reductions in premiums'. New policies ought not to participate at all until they have, paid two years premiums. Where, a policy has1 been purchased by one premium, or a. limited number of premiums, the loading to be proportionately distributed Over the whole term. The Government are recommended to reopen the Industrial branch of the de partment. Mr Knight gives several insian. cea of the manner in which the bonuses will be divided upon the plan he recommends A policy on £100 takeri out at the age of 30 years, and having lasted five years, wonld be-entitled to a vreversionary bonus ot £4 Is 3d;. ,qr a cash bonus of £1 2« 3d; or a reduction vt premiums of 4s'lid for five years, or Is 4d for life—with a policy of ten -years: duration, taken out at the age of 30 the holder would be entitled to £8 6s, reversionary bonus; £2 lls Sd; cask bonus, lls 63 reduction of premium's;for fiVeyear'S or 3s 2dfqr life. | , ~

The Chairman moved the adoption of the re port and balance-sheet, and said that the share holder* would observe that the out-put last half year showed a decrease on the previous six months. This was owing to the. unusually low price of Newcastle coal, and the dullness general quarantine: regulations. However, ho oped both these causes of the decrease..in business] would .disappear before long. The recent cargo of Bay of Islands ooal sent to Honolulu brought a price in the nrfket equal to Newcastle. , ..... ;:The railway extension would fba finished by March. A telegram'from the manager stated' that the new dip showed coal three feet thiok,' and that in No. 3 level top coal five feet thiok had been opened up. .■ V The adoption of the report and balance-sheet was agreed to on the motion of Chairman seconded by Mr Peacook. A vote of thanks was passed to toe directors and officers. ■■....• :

A strong westerly gale has prevailed during the day. The brigantlhe Borealis and schooonor Ceronet, lying to the westward of the whwf/ suffered a bumping, but others being enabled to be end-on, are riding in comparative safety, The schooner Sissy, which, was lying on tho eastern side of Queen Street wharf, nad a rather narrow escape. Tho lines "were thrown' off from tho wharf, and anohor dropped, with tho idea of allowing her to ride more easily. The anohor fouled, and the vessel dragged very fast, until when a few yards off tho solid portion ,of the' Railway Wharf,-and just opposite the new Bone-mill, where she was fortunately brought up/ Had she-drifted inuoh'further, conside rable damage must have been tho result.
