DETERMINED SUICIDE,

A digger, named Ballard, committed suicide in Onamalutu Valley yesterday. He was found stretched on his bed with a gun between his legs, and a stick with which ho had pulled the tiiyger. The shot entered his chest, and death must have been instantaneous. The following letter was found in his pocket-book :—" My dear friends,—l am heartily sick of this world. I cannot live in it any longer. My energy is exhausted. I caunot work; I cannot rest; there is one who knows why. Good by a'l.-5.8." A slip of paper containing the following address was found between his legs :—" W. Gard Macdonald, McLean street, Newtown, Wellington."

INCREASE OF SHIPPING tlOM'

PANY'S CAPITAL.

At a Bpecial meeting of the shareholders of the New Zealand Shipping Company, held at noon to-day, it was resolved after a long discussion by 21 votes to 5, to in crease the capital ol tho Company from £250,000 to one million pounds. J. T. Peacock, reeontly one of the directors, was principal opponent of tho proposal. Reports of burglaries still come in.

A similar case was heard at the Lyttelton Police Court this morning. The order was granted, and tho Magistrate expressed his intention to deal as severely ns possible with any infringment thereof.

RISE OF WOOL,

A wool cable dated the 19th, says:— There is an increase in animation. Prices equal to highest of last aeries. At the crossing between Tawa and Port Chalmers, the northern express this morn ing ran into a cart belonging to a China man. John had left his cart on the crossing, whilst he went to shut up the railway gate, and meantime the train came along. The horso was killed, and the cart knocked, in pices, but the engine was only Blightly damaged, and the train was delayed only for ten minute..

PITT-STREET CONCERT.

Exciting Scene with a Female

Intruder.

The concert last evening given by the Pitt-street choir, in aid of the Northcote Wesleyan Church, was but poorly attended, only about £4 being taken altogether. The programme was a good one, and was gone through in a capital manner. The conduct of the whole lay in the hands of Mr W. Bridßon, and this was sufficient to ensure a success, Bat a choir composed exclusively of angels could not, perhaps, evoke their best efforts with a scanty audience to listen. The poor gathering, no doubt, took con siderable spirit out of the performers ; will, the pieces were pleasingly rendered. In local concerts there is generally un interval of about ten minutes, to allow the per formers breathing time, and the audience opportunity for conversation.- Un the pro gramme last night no mention was made of any such interval, but there was _ forced one for about the space of 15 minutes. Just as the singers were preparing for the glee, "Come, Dorothy, a ladylike person rose up In the midst of the audience and desired the choir to perform an air of her own choosing. At first'her accents were smooth and dulcet, lj.ut on receiving no response, ske warmed np and poured forth a tirade of . remonatratory abuse. Finally she announced her determination to "pitch a stave or two" herself, whereat the brethren grew seriously alarmed. Two or three of the more athletic ones strode towards the excited virago,' but hesitated inpain.nl incertitude when she bared hor arms and invited them to "come on." A couple of policemen, in plain clothes, then made their appearance, but beat a hasty retreat when the bibujons would.be vocalist singled' them out for ai "stand up fight. She then continued to shout out 'her angry defiance. " Hands all Round," she remarked, had been sang, but she dared any one to put a hand on her. The courageous chapel-keeper thereupon accepted the challenge, clasped the defiant female by the waist, and was just in the act of landing her safely outside when a terrific crash was ;! heard. On ex amination it was! found that the poor creature had brought her dinner with her, and that the noise, was that made by a knife and fork, and several articles of delf, as they .clattered to the floor from her lap. To her credit it nJust bo said that in, her madness not one un chaste word came from ber lips, but it was a tad and painful picture to sco such a per son under the influence of liquor in so publio a place. After the r _m.val the perf-rmauce went on as usual. The new National Song, " Hands All Round," |Was.one of-the best pieces performed.' TKe'inusio was sweeter than the words, and sepmed to please those wha listened. The Rev. W.Spencegave a short address. At the close, the National Anthem was sung, the audience, of course, standing.

Mr B. J. Detias was a passenger by the City of New York, which arrived from Sydney this morning. He seems stronger than when he left Auckland several months ago, for while he had to be carried on board ' when embarking hence, he was to- day able to walk from the steamer, over the gangway, to the wharf, and take his seat in a cab, Which conveyed him to his own resid ence, in Ponsonby. It is, • therefore, evident that although. the Sydnoy medical men gavo him no great hope of recovery from bis present illness, the sea voyage has effected a decided im provement in his health, s.d raado Jiira feel much stronger, .. ■____'._

A Btatemont by Mr Francis, read in the Assembly on the 16th, explained that his party retained tho right of independent judgment and free voting throughout, with the understanding to give the Govamment a turn in the balance upon questions not involving important principles. The pro- Bent House consisted of throe minorities, neither strong enough to govern, aud Mr Francis considered lt his duty to support the Government in honest administration, He said tbo sending the order for iron pipes to England was perfectly consistent. He declared tbat Sir B. O'Loghlen did good service in deposing the Berry Government. In conclusion, Mr Francis deprecated per sonal attacks in the press. ' He felt his public career was drawing to a close, and wished his remaining days spent in leisure for reflection. The debato was resumed, when Sir B. O'Loghlen, in a long speech, desired to be recognised as the leader of the National party of independent progressive Liberals, whoso only policy was the interests of the country. The division resulted: For the no-confidence motion, 29; ' against, 45; majority for the Government, 16.

Singular Suicide to Secure an Insurance Policy.

The sensational case of tbe two friends Neville and Adamson, who killed their dog and then committed suicide in company, near Gawler, in 1878, came up at the Su preme Court to-day in an action hy tho Curator of Intestate Estates against the -Mutual Life Assurance Company for the amount of a policy of £400 on the life of Neville. Neville's real name was Twiney, He was well-known, in some parts of Vic toria. It appears that Neville, becoming embarrassed in circumstances, deliberately committed suicide, so that the amount of bis policy conld go towards his his liabili ties, the company not allowing death by suicide to vitiate a policy. The claim, how ever, was resented on tbe ground that it waa a case of pure felo de se, and that the policy was obtained by fraud. After a quantity, of evidence had been taken, the case was adjourned till to-morrow.

IMPROVEMENTS TO ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH.

The foundation stone of the portico aud tower that are to be added to St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, in conformity with the original design, will be laid to-morrow afternoon in due form and with all pos sible eclat. Advantage is to be taken of the gala character of the day to assemble the Presbyterian Snudoy-school children, and bo to secure, if not an impos ing, at least a very attractive demonstra tion. Mr Robert Whitson has beon solected to perform the honourable duty of laying the stone, and various gentlomen, both lay and clerical, havo promised to attend and deliver short addresses on the occasion. In. this connection it may not be inappropriate to recount briefly the history of tho churoh, and to indicate with conciseness the various stages through which Presby tcrianism has attained to its present development in our midst. We have authentic information on the subject, and herewith present it. In 1847 the present edifice of St. Andrew's was commenced, the principal promoters being Dr. Sinclair (Colonial Secretary), and Messrs Alex. Shepherd (Colonial Treasurer), W. S. Graham, W. Gorrie, Kobt. Graham, K. Mitchell (of Brown, Campbell & Co.), W. Hay, and A. Dingwall. Their faith in the permanence ot the undertaking and tho future prcsperity of Auckland was so great that they had tho building constructed of stone, and were only deterred by want of funds from completing their design in full, which provided for the portico and tower that are now to be built. The Rev. G. A, Pan ton arrived as minister in January, 1849, and the opening services were conducted by him, assisted by the Keys. Walter Lawry and Thomas Buddie, Mr Lawry offi ciating in the morning, Mr Panton in the afternoon, and Mr Buddie in the evening. Differences soon arose between pastor and congregation, and no hope of recon ciliation being seen, Mr Panter relin quished his charge and left the country in ISSI. The Rev. Mr Inglis was then called in until a successor could be obtained, and, aided by the Wesleyan clergymen of tbe place, ho afforded the necessary supply. Meanwhile the mana gers wrote Home to the authorities of the Free Church for a prudent man, whose tact and zeal would bo able to snggest a means of fusing together the separated and antagonistic sections of the church. Ihe Rev. David Bruce was chosen to perform the work, and on arriving, in 1853, he at once applied himself with diligence to the reorganisation of the charge and to the reduction of the heavy debt of £1,500 with which it was bnrthened. By dint of earnest appeal and persistent effort, he secured such a hearty response that the congregation were soon in a position to undertake the erection of a school as a means of providing for the secular and religious education of the young, Mr Stables was brought out from Scotland in order to carry it on, and subse quently Mr Farquhar Macrae was sent for. The membership of the church increased bo rapidly that it was found necessary to se cure a colleague for Mr Bruce. The re sult waa the arrival of the Rev. James Hill, who shortly afterwards formed the congregation of St. James's, which wor shipped in the Old Prince of Wales Theatre until theirprcaonthoudsome steeple-crowned sanctuary was raised. In the course of the next few years various other offshoots frotn tho old stock wore planted and throve with the same vigour that had characterised it. Thus St, Luke's was established at | Remuera. with the Rev. G. B. Monro as pastor, one at the North Shore under the j Rev. Mr Wallace; St. David's, under Mr T. W. Dunn ; and St. Stephen's, under Rev. D. W. Runciman. In consequence of failing health, Mr Bruce felt it necessary to resigntbcactivepastorate,andatthed3Bire ot tho congregation he accepted 'he honorary ollice of pastor emeritus. In October, 1877, the Rev. A. Carrick arrived from Canada, and having been presented with a call, accepted it, and was inducted to the charge in December of the same year, Towards the end of 1881 the elders and man agers definitely resolved to make tho improvements so lo_g contemplated and bo long deferred. It is unnecessary to say much in the way of description of the pro jected portico and tower, inasmuch as they h«ve already been noticed at length in these columns. Suffice it to remark that they .c^ calculated to vastly improve the appearonce of the church, and will assuredly transform it from a rather prim and fortress-like struc tare into a shapely and attractive pile of architecture.

Detective Brennan has gone up to Dar gaville to enquire into the circumstances connected with the mysterious disappear ance ot the man Neill, who is said to bave bsen lost in tho bush.

A telegram was received in town to-day announcing the arrival of the brigantine Clansman at Wakapuaka (Nelson) from Oamaru, after a lengthy passage ot 21 days. All on board were well, although come terrific weather had been experienced. The Registrar of the Supreme Court (Mr Brewer) sat in Chambers this morning, and granted on order to enter np judgment in default of plea in the case of the Auck land Stud Company v, Owen McGee. The application was made on behalf of the Stud Company.

With reference to the case of assault broughtfby John May against James, Henry and farah Dawson, at the Police Court yes. terday, we are informed that tbe case has been settled out of Court. Tbe particulars of tbe case, as set forth in a paragraph yes terday, are, it appears, not exactly borne ont by the facts. Mrs Dawson says she, and not the complainant, was tbe aggrieved party, as the evidence would have shown if the case been gone on with.
