TherQ wer(j bßiog evolved from n-^y alißm m ro? ny-?rCmbu£r but'it was an undoubted E2SHS3S3SS the expulsion of a devil from a lady medium with whom he was about to pub licly debate.) Dr. Sexton, who was for merly an Atheist, and for 20 years an asso eiat/ of Mr Bradlaugh became a Spiritualist, and subsequently was con verted to Chiislianity. He was now one of the ablest defenders of Christianity inEng land, and believed in Spiritualism as firmly aahe ever did, but now attributed ltaorigin to diabolical agency. Spiritualism, the epeaker said, was one of the most corrupt doctrines ever taught. Briefly it meant free-lovism, and as many affinities as one liked. The Bible syste natically denounced it. (Mr Brown quoted from Leviticus, 19ch. 31r., Levi ticus22cb,, Denteronomy 18ch., ll,.Kings 23ch. and 24?., and Isaiah Bch. and 19v.) Faul fought not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness in this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (iTe., • aoainst wicked spirits in fotial reeioriß). The reason Spiritualism gained such a strong hold on people, was the fact that the belief in roan's immortality was generally accepted, and these wicked spirits gave pretended messages from our deceased friends. The doctrine of man's immor tality was the lie the devil had seduced Eve with in the Garden of Eden, and he had been propping it up ever since. It had grown and flourished amazingly fince then, and now Spiritualism was only orthodoxy run to seed. A good Baptist or a good Methodist might very readily develop into a thorough-going Spiritualist. Professor Denton had talked of a "scientific bads." He (Mr Brown) would shosv how on a " scientific ba'is " Christ had expelled devils. Next Sunday evening he would treat of the causes of Spiritualism, and show the spirits themselves had frequently confessed ttiat they were devils, not men. If any of Professor Denton's friends or Bympathisers was disposed to debate on the subject, ho would try and make it con venient to meet him on some public platform. The lecturer concluded by reminding his audience that many of them in their anxiety on the previous Sunday to get away for the purpose of hearing Professor Denton had forgotten the plate, and suggested, therefore, that they should double their usual contribution on tiis occasion.

NEW ZEALAND FROZEN MEAT.

DUNEDIN, this day. IHE "North Otago Times" publishes the following interesting letter from James Aitken, of Onmsru, who Is at present in Glasgow, re the Dunedin shipment of frozeu meat:—The salesmen very soon found that Glasgow was the best market for it, as it is the best market for almost every kind of New Zealand produce. Part of it was sent on here. I have seen it and eaten part of it, and it wa9 sold at prices which the producers say are satis factory to them, The shipowners, however, say that the result of the experiment is a failure as fur as concerns them, and that frozen meat must be abandoned till steam communication can be got, as "it will not pay in salliDg vessels. This would bo rather a pity for land-owners when almost in sight of success, if it were not for the fact that steam conimufiication appears to be nearer at band than ia generally sap posed. lam in communication with ship owners here, and have had the subject under disillusion in all its bearing*, and I think I may say that if some other com pany does not take the matter up within two years a Glasgow company will, and among other places they would call at Oamaru if the state of the harbour per mitted. Trie difficulty hitherto has always baen the impossibility of getting fall cargoes and quick despatch Home. This has been caused by the failure of large land-owners in New Zealand to crop their lands with the grain Buitablo for this market. This problem ha* resolved itself at last in a moat convincing way. I have seen the balance-sheets of areas in South Canterbury which were cropped this year, and tbey show results which the owners themselves never dreamt of. The profits to growers who have produced a good article, had it been properly handled on this side, would have been very handsome. I have had visits at ray office fiom the delegates of New Zealand farmers all the way to Glasgow to set information on these poiuts, and they are returning satisfied that cropping is the thing for them. They say they see for themselves that the losses they have sustained in past years need never have occurred, and never would if they had known one or two things which they know now. Assurances of that sort have kad far. more effect on the minds of shipowners than the prospect of public subsidies and frozen meat freights, because they know these might fail them at any time. Ihe grain freights have on the whole been per fectly satisfactory. All they want is plenty of it, and they will then send their steamers and take away the mutton, butter, etc., along with it. Whether or not Oamaru will ever benefit by this will depend on the views which land-owners there may take of their own interests, but, beyond all doubt, the town which will, benefit most in toe whole colony from steam communication would be lnvercargiil."

JOSEPH NKWMAN. Chairman.

A gas explosion occurred on Saturday night at Goodson's Arcade, but thanks to the presence of mind displayed by the assistants in the establishment, the visitors were not alarmed, while the outside public remained in blissful ignorance of the event until all danger had. been removed. It seems that during the early portion vi the evening a smell of gas pervaded the place, bat as its source could not be readily determined and the shop was full of purchasers, not much attention was paid to it. At half-past 8 o'clock, Mr Hiekson ; opened the dcor of the passage at the side of the shop for the purpose of proceed- ' ing to bia rooms on the first floor and cm entering it he struck a match. As he did ?o he became sensible of the presence of gas, but before he coald undo his act the flame had communicated with the escaping element, and an explosion was the result, It knocked off the gentleman's hat, but did him no injury. Simultaneously the flare of the explosion illuminated the Arcade, Tim cause being at once divined, tbe gas was turned flofT 'at tbe meter, and the front door having been closed, in order to pre vent an incursion of carious ' sightseers, full opportunity was afforded for precaution ary measures being taken, Candles were lighted, and did service for the rest of the evening, while a careful search led to the discovery that the gas pipe laid down be twecu tbe passage and the Arcade had been gnawed through by rats, a tolerably largo aperture being thus left for the escape ot the gas. It is well that the discovery was not made at a much later stage of the even ing, as the results might have been rather serious.

An extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Mercury Bay Timber Company was held to-day, Mr D. H. McKenzie presiding, at wrich the ameDded articles of association were adopted. It was decided to increase tbe nominal capital of the Company to £100,000, by the creation of £50,000 £1 shares, which, however, it is not intended to issne at pre sent.

COFFEE PALACE COMPANY.

AN extraordinary meeting of the share holders of the Coffee Palace Co. (Limited) took place this afternoon, at the secretary's otlice, for the purpose of deciding whether or not it should be wound up.

There was a large attendance, Mr Joseph Newman (Chairman of Direc tors) presided, and in opening up the pro ceedings he said that the directors had nothing to conceal. On the contrary, they invited the fullest scrutiny. He then read the following statement, which had been drawn up for the occasion by tbc secretary : Immediately preceding tho last meeting of shareholders, tenders had been received for tho erection of the building according to the plans prepared by the late Mr fteven son. They considerably exceeded the esti mates he had given the directors of the probable cost, but the teuuty of design, and the substantial character of the work tendered for, having beeu freely discussed by the shareholders at two meetings, it was resolved that the capital be increased with a view to carry on the work. After a canvass amougut tbc shareholders and others, there seemed a disinclination to take up any more shares, and tbe directors then considered whether or not the plans could notbe so far modified as toerect a building in the corner-plot alone. For this purpose they gave their architect instructions to pre pare them first a sketch plan of what might be erected at a cost not exceeding £10,000. The sketch plan being deemed satisfactory, they weie instructed to proceed and prepare detail plans and specifications. The directors, howevor, were very much astonished when the tenders were opened, to find the lowest £15,907. Considering the reduced size of the building and the modifications from the first plan with re gard to internal littings of nn expensive nature, the directors wero unable to understand the tenders sent in, and were compelled to decline them. The directors then mot and bestowed con siderable time in a most anxious and care-

ful deliberation as to what had better be done. They determined to utilise the property in ihe beat way they could, keep ing in view the ultimate object of the enter prise, and protecting the interests of the shareholders. A rrangements were made to fill up tbogap between Messrs Ehreufricd's store and our own store, by putting on a building as part ot the original design, which would make two shops and for which wo had tenants ready to take pos session. This could be done at a small expense, as thore are walls on each tide, and. the rents would add considerably to the revenue. A tender for this work has been received and would hove been accepted ten days jtgo, but.for the receipt of tho re quisition* to call this meeting. At the same time it was determined to put in the foundations for the buildine; in Queen-street and Custom House-street, to be done under tho direction of the architects, and superin tendence of a clerk of the works, which is nowbeingcarriedon. Whon completed, they contemplate going on with the building to th«i extent of one or two stories, as they may have funds at their disposal, putting on a temporary roof. The directors have gone into the financial part of tho question, and they are satisfied that the carrying out of these proposals will not only pay the ground rent and charges, but will yield a substantial return on the capital expended. Mr Newman then went on to say that when plaus were first prepared, building materials were much cheaper than tluy ate now, and the original intention there fore was to put up such a structuio as would supply accommodation for all classes of the community. Tenders were called, but as the lowest was £20,000, the directors deolined them, not feeling justified in sanctioning an expenditure £5,000 in excess of the architect's estimate. Instead of that, they had the plans altered so as to provido for a buildingtocost£ip,OQO. Tenders were again culled, but to their sur prise, the lowest was £15,000. An a last resort they resolved to proceed with tho building themselves. 10 men were now employed Upon the foundations, and an es timate that thoy had prepared shewed that when the buildings were put up tboy could be let so as to produce a return of 10 per cent., whilo if the property were sold now, when everything was at sixes and (evens, they did not know what they would get. He felt suro that a Coffee Palace would yet be erected in A uckland in accordance with Mr Stevenson's plan?, and he thought it a standing disgrace U> us that we had not one at present mhen such a small place ai Napier had one. He felt ashamed that this meeting should bo culled for the purpose of frustrating the object the directors had in view. Jt would bo mere intatuation to draw back from tho scheme at the present lime. Jt was discreditable that they should not have a public houso of accommodation, which was not associated with the nccursod drink traffic.—Mr Pierco said that although the Chairman had made a long and exhaustive speech about the necessity for a Coffee Palace, he had failed to touch the gist of it, viz., how the building was proposed to be put up, and now the ten per oent. was going to be paid.—Mr Brett wished it clearly understood that the statoment put before the mooting was not that of the di rectors, but merely one drawn up by the secretary.—Mr Lamb said that a committee had been appointed to draw up the statement. The Chairman said that Mr Lamb and Mr Aickin had been appointed to draw up the report, but ho was not aware that it had been formally laid before the directors,—Mr Brett asserted that tho directors had determined n*t to present the report. —The Chairman, in answer to Mr Pearce's remarks, said that tbe directors' intention was to erect the first story in accordance with Mr Stevenson's plan?, and Ice the shops when erectod, pro ceeding with the other stories as funds would permit. They estimated that two shops next Ehrenfried's would let at £3 10s each, and bring In an annual rental ot £364; that two other shops would let for £6 and £3 per week respectively, bring ing in £463 ; that three shops In Custom house-street at £2 10s would bring in £300, that the present store would yield £312, and that the Working Men's Department would bring in £260, making a total of £1,794 per annum for their outlay of £10,000. The ground.rent would be £567 per annum, and the oost of management £226 per annum, so that there would be enough left to pay the required 10 per cent. 8,200 shares had been, applied for, and there was a bank overdraft of £2,000 ; 5s fid per share had been called up, and the amount of arrears was £500.

. Mr K. M. stark apoke in favour of the company, being wound up, and moved a motion to that effect.

Mr Brown seconded the motion, and en> dorsed all that Mr Stark bad said.

Mr Joseph Howard, believing that a house divided against itself cannot stand, also thought that tho affair would have to be wound up.

Mr Aickin suggested that the share holders present should double their interests in the company, with the view of having tbe original plans proceeded with, Mr Brett pointed out that six months ago the shareholders bad been told that there would be no difficulty in obtaining the ne cessary number of shares to justify them in proceeding with the building ac cording to the original plan, and at that time most of the directors had doubled their interests in the company in order to bring about the desired result. But only 8,000 odd shares had been taken up, and many persons had simply paid the shilling on application, others stopping short after paying the first call. This was evidence of the little interest evinced by a large number of shareholders. He was averse to the erec tion of the bui.'ding as now contem plated, for it would prove anything but an ornament to Queen-street. If he thought there wua any likelihood of the building originally contemplated being put up he would be content to lose every penny that he had invested in the scheme, but he was strongly opposed to the erection of the ono-story structure at present in view as it would only be an eyesore, Mr George Holdship proposed, " That the building, as originally proposed, be carried out if 16,500 shares be subscribed in one month, otherwise the company be wound-up, another meeting to be called for that purpose."

Mr Aickin seconded the motion,

While it was under conr ideration the secretary went round the room to see how many shareholders would increase their number of shares, and promises represent ing 1200 additional shares were obtained. Mr Stark thereupon withdrew his motion, at the same time expressing his opinion that tbe 16,500 required would not be obtained, Mr Brett remarked that even were that taken up they only represented a sum of £16,500, while £30,000 would be needed to complete their project. Mr Holdship's motion was then put and carried, only one person voting against it. The meetimr terminated after an under standing had been arrived, at that in tbe meantime tbe work of laying down the foundations of the building should be sus pended, .

John Pepper, who was sentenced to six months'imprisonment for larceny on Wed nesday last, has died in gaol. An inquest, before Dr. C. F, Goldsbro 1, will take place at 11 o'clock to-iubrrrow,
