INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS ACT. The Colonial Secretary, in moving the second reading of tho Industrial Schools Act, reviewed its provisions. He said tho Waval Training Scnool at Koliimarama had been abandoned becftute it had been found not to work well. Many of the boys did not care to so to sea, and there were no open-,

lags for them. Mr Shepherd spoke in favour of board ing out.'-andMr .DkLautour objected to the want of provision for criminal children over 12 yearß old. Mr Huk&t thought some better explana tion might have been given by the Govern ment for abandoning the Naval Training Ship at Kohimarama. He believed tbe cause of the failure of that institution was due to the bad management of its head, and he regretted that the Government had not endeavoured to s«cure better adminis tration of the training ship, before abolish ing what lie believed to be a most benefi cent institution, which was surrounded, at Auckland, with all the circumstances that should make it succeed. He was also dis appointed that no step had been taken to improve facilities for dealing with the juvenile criminals, so as to prevent them from associating with hardened criminals. 'I here had been no expen diture on the Auckland gaol, except the completion of a stone wall, for 16 years, and that gaol was a disgrace to the colony. Mr Leyix abo condemned the abandon ment of the Kohimarama school. Any scandal that had arisen in connection with it could not affect the principle of the institution, Tne Government ought to encourage the youth of the colony to engage in a seafaring life. He believed if we bad a ship of a large size, or more than cne, the difficulties that had arisen at Kohi marama would disappear. Mr Moss complained that the alteration made iv the Industrial School in Auckland had placed it entirely uuder one person. He drew the attention of the members to the great importance of the Bill, and con sidered it ought to be made a part of the general scheme of local self-government. After Mr DICK had replied, the second reading was carried without division, Native Reserves Bill. Mr Bbyce moved the second reading of the Native Reserves Bill. It was designed to consolidate native reserves. It empowered the Native Lands Court to deal with these reserves, and the other provi sions were described. Mr Petmk thought the Bill consolidated the interests of the native owner too much. He pointed to subsection 14, and showed it would be detrimental to the interests of the tenant of the native reserves at Greymouth. In committee, he would move material amendment. Mr MACANDRKW pointed out that there was no provision for the natives themselves having a voice in the administraticn of these reserves.

Mr ToMOANA objected to'the BUI, as it gave the natives themselves no power to deal with the reserves,

Mr Stevens spoke of tho importance of the individual title made alienable being given them, By that means they would be enabled to give the natives the right to ad minister their own interests, and leave them to depend npon themselves. Again, an arrangement like that would be the first step towards doing away with the cumber- Borne Native Department. He would oppose the motion. Mr Holmes spoke in support of tho Bill, describing it as a measure that would pro tect the Maori against himself. In committee ho would move in the direc tion of association of one or two Maori chiefs with the Government in the adminis tration.

Major Te Wheoro would not oppose, but thought the Bill capable of important im provement in committee. After further discussion, in which Col. Tbimblk, Messrs Weston, Thomson, Taiakoa, Watt, Connelly, and Tawhia took part, Mr Sheehan said the Native Lands Courts, which had been blamed, were not to blame, but this Parliament. He re garded the abolition of pre-emption as a great mistake. 1n1872 he offered to sup port the Government in re-imposing that light. They could not now go back on that, and the question was how were they to handle theaa lands. What he advocated was that sufficient land ahould be tied up for the maintenance of the natives, and let them dispose of the rest. This Bill would tie up every acre in the North Island. He asked if that was fair either to the European or the native ? He had always held that the highest price should be given by the Government. If the Bill passed as it was, it would have the effect of employing a large number of Go vernment officials, and the Maoris would find that tho substance would go, and the shadow be left to them. He meant to sup port the Bill, simply for the purpose of affirming the principle that a change in tho lair was necessary. At present the effect was to vest these lands only nomi nally in the hands of the Maoris and leave them inraolity iniho hands of the Govern ment officials and others. He thought more time should be given for the consideration of the Bill, i'heir object should bo to interest the natives in the preservation of these lands, and not, as the Bill stood, actually ignore them in the rratter al together. To five further time for con sideration of the whole question, he moved the adjournment of the debate. Mr Uryck said he would not oppose the adjournment, which was put and carried. The House rose at midnight.

THE ACCIDENT TO MR. WHEELER.

ABOUT ten o'clock ou Saturday night Mr W. G. Wheeler, manager of the Working Men's Club, while ejecting a man from pne of the rooms tell down stairs. At first he did not appear to have sustained any injury, and walked up stairs without help; but shortly after he complained of great internal pain, and Pr Tennant was sent for. On Monday morning he felt easier, but other sjmptoms setting in, he was sent to the Hospital about *noon yesterday. Dr Philson soon dis covered that peritonites had set in, and we tfxe sincerply sorry to learn that there is not the faintest hope of his recovery. Since his admission to tbp Hospital Mr Wheeler has made a statement, which is to the following effect :-He was requested to eject a man named Uageitt, who was making a noise in one of the upstairs rooms. While obeying this order Haggitt seized the bannister railing, but on Wheeler pulling, he suddenly relaxed his hold, and both men fell down 12or 14 steps. Wheeler does not blame anyone for the accident.

PRICE OF BUTCHERS' MEAT.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—"Will you allow me to reply to the letter of Pro Bono Publico "in last night s ISTARre "Pricesof Butcbera'Meat' ? If he will call and inspect the prices of meat re tailed in our shop, he will find that he can purcbase for ready cash prime provincial fed beef as low as 2Jd per lb., and wether mutton at 2d per lb. Ido not know where "Pro Bono Publico " received his informa tion as regards the prices. Perhaps he gels it'from bills that are paid once in six months, and then often partly paid. As to the amas. sing of sJiall fortunes—l think that if. he will try the trade he will find that it takes a man to rise early and work late to get along.— lam, &c, JOHK FOSS&;CO,, Butchers, Queen-street.

At the Police Court to-morrow the natives Pakara and ;Epiha will be charged with the outrage on Daldy McWiljimns at Puke hanga, near Ohioemuri, in 1879. The wit nesses arrived from the Thames by the Kotoraahania this afternoon. They are- Sergeant Russell (the police officer in charge of Ohinemurl), Daldy McWiliiams, J. JMc- Williams (his brother), T. Powdrell (one of the survey party assaulted), and Mr G. T. Wilkinson (Native Agent at the Thames). Mr E. W. Puckey will also be examined.

CHORAL HALL.-"ELI."

The success and popularity of the Cnora Society and the prevalence of musical taste iv the community were satisfactorily demonstrated by the attendance at the performance of Sir Michael Costa's "Eli'> last night. Of its success the general exe cution of the oratorio spoke; the presence ot as many people as could, by dint of the economic utilisation of all available space, be sot within the hall, proclaimed the popu. larity of the society ; and the same fact, coupled with an unprecedentedly large muster of performing members, afforded good evideice of the steady diffusion of musical culture. Since the ad vent of the conductor, Herr Schmitt, the Choral Society has experienced a revival. Its periodical performances have wonderfully improved, the flagging publi interest in it has been stimulated afresh, and the scknowledged merits of the in structor have tended to inspire the members with the utmost confidence, besides engen dering a strong espiit de corps. If the growth of the society continues at this rate, it will be found absolutely necessary, at no distant date, to provide a far more spacious and commodious hall. The choir seats last night were fully occu pied, about 150 singers and 40 instrumen talists being present, and the effect as seen from the end of the hall or the gallery was very pretty, the distinguishing dresses of the sopranos and contraltos contrastingjwell with the dark background supplied by the evening costume of the gentlemen. In their turn the choir and orchestra mutt have felt inspirited and encouraged by the presence of so large anjiiray ot expectant auditors. | The production of a new woik of such magnitude as Costa's " Xli," is a proof of the energy and spirit which the advent of 11 err Schmitt has iniused into our musical circles. Of course there were many imper fections to be expected in a iir.t rehearsal, bnt, taken as a whole, the performance may be regarded as satisfactory. The oratorio is highly dramatic ; the words are selected with an intelligent and reverent appreciation of their meaning, and the music is solemn and appropriate. With the cx> ception of the celebrated march, the music is quite new to Auckland. No doubt it would be more generally appreciated on a second hearing. There is a vivacity about the work which is wanting in many of the older standard oratorios, but at times there is a want of depth.

Heir achmitt was warmly received on entering the orchestra, and the overture commenced with a prelude on the organ, played by Mr Ralph Hood, who did good service throughout the concert. The over ture itself has a mournful theme, in har mony with the underlying plau of the oratorio. The. change to the major key serves to introduce the opening recitative, Eli's injunction, "Blow up the Trumpet on our Solemn Feast-day." The part of Eli was allotted to Mr Rhodes, whoso declamation of the recitatives was most effective. The part does not contain many attractive passages, but a considerable range of voice is required to do it justice. Mr Rhodes was not deficient in the taste and expresaiou required of him, brt the air " Although my Love " was ineffective through want of steadiness in tbe accom paniment, which is very difficult, With this exception the orchestra was most satisfactory. Miss Kempthoroe, as Hannah, realised the fullest expec tations, She has a rare gift of dis tinct^ enunciation, and takes great paius to study the music. Mr E. Harker had an appropriate part in that of " Klkanah," and hiaj performance, especi ally in the concerted music, was satisfac tory. The soul-stirriDg air "Philistines, Hark the Trumpet sounding," was sung by Mr Edwards, who only needed a little more confidence to give it due eflect, Mr C. Harker who sang the part of " The nun of God" (despita our contemporarj'fl assertion that It was combined with that cf " Eli"—a miraculous assertion, indeed, in faco of the duet for tho two voices), straggled bravely with the music, which was partly too high for him. But the chief praiso is certainly duo to Miss Corbett, whose simple, unaffected singiog of the part of Samuel gave general pleasure to the audience. Her delivery of the morning and evening prayer, and of the recitative dialogue with K)i, was excel lent throughout The trio, '' Thou shalt love the Lord," by Misses Kempthorne and Corbett and Mr E. Harker, was one of the best items. Tho chorus of angels, "No Evil Shall Befall Thee," was mest effectively sung by the sopranos and altos. The choruf, "For Everything There is a Season," is a specimen of tbe origin ality which characterises a large portion of the oratorio. It was sung with spirit, and evidenced the very caroful attention which the conductor had bestowed upon the choruses. But the chorus " Hosanna " lacked crispneßS and vigour. The march was well played by tho band, nod tho succeeding chorus, repeating the same theme, was sung in a manner which loft little to be desired. Wo must not conclude our notice without referring to tho unseemly inter ruption occasioned by the withdrawal of a few persons from the audience at the commencement ol the last chorus. We have nothing to soy to those who, being obliged to leave, do so between one piece and another, but we cannot too strongly condemn the practice of getting up to leave directly the last piece is commenced. Consideration for one's neighbours alone should induce them to remaim. The society has in hand another new work, Rossini« " Mose in Egitto," which is lookod forward to with the keenest interest.

CITY EAST LICENSING COURT.—This Day.

(Before John Chambers (chairman), Graves Aickin, Geo. Harper, M. Montague, and U, B, Stone, Licensing Commissioners),

The Court was opened at noon pre cisely, very few persons being present, other than the publican's immediately interested. Mr J. B. Stoney was the clerk. The • chairman opened the proceedings by reading tho following statement :— Before granting any licenses the Com* mitteo would like to state tbe terms upon which they aro prepared to grant these licenses. The Committee, wishing to execute their trnst faithfully, are prepared to assist all tho*e Licensed Victuallers who have kept well-condncted house?, and to place no impedimenta in their way in securing renewals of their licenses. But, they must protect the public as far as in .their power lies, this heing the essence of the present Licensing Act. Yesterday, tne Committee visited every licensed house In City East, except, we belie ire, one, so as to be able to form a better opinion about the several houses. And we are happy to say that In most cases we were greatly surprised at tho clean and comfortable look of the rooms, &c. But there were some cases of the extreme op posite, class, i Houses in bad condition* badly furnished, no ventilation, wind, ing, narrow stairs and passages, out of which it would be almost impossible for any sober man (q find his way if suddenly alarmed at night. The law lays special stress upon all hotels being for the refreshment of the public, and that food and lodging <hall be always available. We found nearly all the houses with all the requisite number of rooms, but the trade evidently in some cases was merely that of selling-liquor, and as little attention given to the victualling as is possible, so much s", that no one would willingly go a second time. Whatever our private views upon tbis subject may be, •we must see that the law is carried out. (1) All licensed houses to have ample means of escape for the inmates in case of lire, by fixing sufficient, permanent, suit able ladders to each floor and each wing of the houses ; also, wherever it is possible to widen the staircase. (2) AH rooms, parti cularly bedrooms, to be efficiently venti lated. For the future, transfer of licenses will not be granted wherever a hovjse has been badly kept, or the licensee having acted in- such a1 way as to risk the losing of his license. Tbis may seem hard upon the proprietor, but we feel that it is necessary for the pro tection of the public. The committee also wish to state that, for the protection of the public, more particularly of the working men, also for the protection of more of the business men, they iDtend to request the Government to carry out the' Adulteration Clau«es 191 and 194. The Chairman Vent on to say that although the Bench had no power to interfere with the employment1 of women, yet they desired to express their opinion that it would be well that no females should be employed in hotel bars after eleven o'clock at night, and that as far as practicable, people should be discouraged from sending children for : drink by publicans declining to serve them, ' unless good reasons aro given for sending I such messengers. • , !Mr Tyler said that,:nasmuch as he was I acting for the local licensed Victuallers Association, he was in a position to know the thoughts and feelings of a con siderable number of the publicans and he could therefore state with tne

utmost confidence that the majority of them had every desire to carry out,as far us they had been able, the wishes of the Com mittee as just cxprefsed by the chairman. The chairman :We felt quite sure of that.

Mr E. Hesketh said that he could fully endorse Mr Tyler's remarks on behalf of those publicans for whom he appeared, and he was also in a position to state that many of the alterations which the chairman had referred to as desirable, were actually in contemplation. TRANSFERS. The following applications tor transfers of licenses were then made, and no opposi tion being offered in any case, they were all granted ; — Wynyard Arms, John Adams to Henry H. Adams; Exchange, ■Waller Caddy to Jno. T. Smith; Swan Inn, Robert Currie to John Adams; Charlemont, James Fraser to Wm. H. Por« ter; Auckland, William Hamley to Joseph Caffery ; Park, Charles E. Johnson 'to David Twohill; Queen's Head, Robert Keir to James Fraser: Wavcrley, John T. Smith to George J. Panter; Masonic, R. Whitaker to Grace Chapman. RENEWALS OF LICENSES. The applications for renewals of licenses were then heard seriatim, and decided as. follows :— Wynyard Arms Hotel, Henry Hopper Adams,—No objection. — Granted. -Hour of closing extended to midnight. Swan Inn, John Adams.—No pppsiiion. —Granted.—Hour of closing extended till midnight. Metropolitan, Thomas T. Anderson.— Sergeant Major Pardy said that this was a very old and unsubstantial house, and that the time had arrived for the erection of a new building. He asked the Commis sioners therefore to grant the license subject to the condition that a promise was given to erect a new bouse and the plans produced. — The chair man announced that the application would be adjourned for a a fortnight in order that plans of a hew building might be produced. —Mr Tyler complained of the shortness of the time allowed, saying that it was im possible to fulfil such conditions within so limited a period.—Mr George said that a, new lease had been sent for to England, and that on its arrival arrangements would be made for the erection of a larger and better building.—The Bench then granted the license on the condition that a new hotise is erected within the ensuing year.— Sergeant Major Fardy said that be had another complaint to make, and it was in regard to the "free-and-easy" which was carried on is the hotel at nights, in other words the singing parties. He considered that this practice should be stopped. It was a crying evil, inasmuch as it held out a powerful temptation to the young to frequent such places, and for that reason it ought to be put down with a strong hand. The police had no power to interfere, but the Commissioners* had,fand he hoped they would announce that the license would be forfeited next year, unless the obnoxious practice wore discontinued. —The Chairman remarked thatsucha thing was undoubtedly a public nuisance, and that it would have to be suppressed. The Act expressly for bade concerts in public houses.

Auckland Hotel, Joseph CaflYey.— Serjeant Major Pardy expressed regret that a dark blot rested on this hotel. Although it splendid establishment, boasting of a line restaurant, yet its proximity to Cliancery-ntrcet, and the patronage be stowed upon it by the residents of that locality, had been the means of creat ing a public nuisance. However, the hotel had recently changed hands, and ns Mr Caffrey had aided, the police in abating the nuisance, it wns hoped that this circumstance, coupled' with the fact that a largo number of the Bhanties in Chancery-street were tdj be pulled down, in order to make room for better buildings, would tend to make the houae become less and lass a resort for bad characters, At any rate, means had been taken to supply these people in such a way that thoy would have no occasion t» resort to the front bar, nor be brought into contact with the lodgers of tho house. Ho had no doubt that Mr Cattery would be able to effect the reforms he had in contem plation. If the license were now granted, he would bring up a report at the next quarterly sitting of tho Court.—Mr Ucs keth pointed out that Mr Cattery had not been many weeks in the house, and that, therefore, no blot rested upon him. He bad never yet been charged with a single infraction of the Licensing Act. Mr Tyler observed that tho publicans of the vicinity wore als* anxious that Mr Cnffrey should'get his licenie, asho was taking meal's to provide for that Chancery-street population who would otherwise resort to them for drink.—Tho chairman laid that it was unfortunate that the public-houio lay just in tho centre of traftic, and that tho place from which the people referred to were to be supplied arot ted on a busy thoroughfare. People going to the Free Library had to pass by it, and tho thing had become a disgrace to the city. They had determined to refus* licenses in cases like this where a lessee had conducted' his house in such a way as to give grounds for valid complaint, and then transferred to a ro ; spectable person when the chances of re newal were uncertain.

Mr John Brame here mounted the witness stand, and announced that he appeared in conjunction with two other persons as the representatives of 12 owners and occupiers of property in High-street, to protest against the granting of a licenst for a second bar to the Auckland Hotel.— Mr Tyler challenged Mr Brarno's right to appear,inasmuch as he bad not given notice of opposition. The chairman cited tho 59th clause of the Acr,and giving Mr Brame fall power to appear and object without prior notice. Mr Brame was proceeding to explain that he knew Mr Caffrey to be a respectable man, and that there was no intention to reflect upon his character, when Sergeant-Major Pardy stated that in the legal sense of tho term there was no second bar at the High-street entrance of the hotel, but merely a room for the supply of drink. It was not a bar within the meaning of the Act. —Mr Tyler cor borated this statement. The bar did not open on to the street, but was approached through a passage, and was only there for a convenience for supply.—The chairman thought that this only tended to render its character tbe more dangerous.— Mr B*«keth supplemented aid endersed Mr'^Jyier's remarks.—ln answer to the chairman's question as to whether the house was objected to, Mr Brame eaid that the persons for whom he appeared (owners and occupiers of property in the vicinity) merely desired to see the High-street access to the hotel closed, so that the profligate population who made use of it might be debarred from continuing the nnisance that they had hitherto caused, —The chairman said that the house should be objected to as a house or not at all.— Mr Brame replied that there was no desire to object to the character of the home, the High-street entrance to the class, of people who frequented it being the only subjects of complaint.—Mr Hcsketh men tioned that an understanding Bad been come to between McCaffcry for the better regulation of this part of the house. A barrier was to be erected in the passage and other improvement? made.—The Chairman, then announced that the license would be granted, but that the case would come up again at the next meeting of the Court, when it would have to be shewn that the promised.improvements had been supplied and were effective.

Costom-housb, Lowland K. Campion.— Mo opposition, granted. Masonic, Grace Chapman.—No opposi tion, granted .' Greyhound, Patrick larby.—No op position, granted, Nottingham CABTLE, Mickael Flynn. Serjeant-Major Pardy said that a con viction had been obtained against this house for Sunday trading, Thecustom9is the lessee had to deal with weee not of the best character.—Granted.

Quben'S Head, James Fraser.—Ad journed for a fortnight, in order that steps may be taken to repair and furnish the house.

OCCIDENTAL, Albert Fisher.—Sergeant- Major Pardy took an objection to the meet, ings of Tattersall's (lab being held in this or any other hotfl.— As the Court were not sure that they had any power to' interfere, and iv view of the fact that the amount of accommodation was being increased, the application for renewal was granted. BAILWAY Tebminus, John Endean.— Granted. ■ Bkitomart, Andrew Fernandez. — Granted. Pacific, John Gillander. — Mr Tyler mentioned that the lessee had discontinued the "free and-easy," and used the space for a dining-room —Granted. Provincial Hotel, J. B. Killian.— Sergeant-Major Pardy designated this building "an old rattletrap," and said that it was beyond repair.—Tho chairman corroborated this: statement. — License granted on condition that not be used until steps are taken io erect a new one. tCOMMBeciAL, Alfred Ki^d,— Sergeant Major Pardy and the chairman both eulogised the coDdnct, cuisine, and cleanly

condition of this house, which, for its siza, was declared to be quite a model hotel. — Granted. The licenses of the following houses were also renewed :—Waverley, George Isles Panter; Fitzroy, Eiizabeth Patterson, Claremont, W. H. Porter; New Caledonia, John Smith; Thames, James Stewart; Park, David Twohill ; and City Club, Sarah Jane White ; a fire escape being re commended for the latter. The renewal of the licenses of the Queen s Ferry, Elizabeth P. Sutherland; Glob 9, George Sm th; Exchange, John T. Smith, were adjourned' for a fort night, in order to afford time to the lessees to satisfy the Bench that repairs will be effected, and their accommodation increased,

The Court then rose,

LATEST PARLIAMENTARY

(FROM ODE SPECIAL EEPOETER.)

WELLINGTON, this day, Auckland, JPetitions.

The Petitiors Committee to-day reported on the petition ot J. Lynch, of Auckland, that the petitioner had no case. The peti tion of Kcnnerley, of the North Shore, has been under, consideration and evidenoe has been taken, but it is understood to have failed to prove that there ever was any agreement between Mr Stout and the peti tioner. The report will probably be to that effect, Native Reserves Bills The Nativo Reserves Bill last night en countered unexpected opposition. Mr Bryce moved it as if the matter was of minor consequence, but many members practically familiar with the subject de tected immediately that the subject affected seriously the whole North Island. _ Re serves have been made indiscri minately, some baing simply marked off on a map without reference to the iuitability for Maori purposes. To lock these up perpetually would be useless to tne natives, and a nuisance and a draw hack to the settlement. The proposal to vest the management of all Maori Trusts in pnblic trustee is also opposee, that official being already overruled, and the fees for management of the reserreß being likely to create a great number of officials subsist ing on these reserves. It was urged b the Maori members, and supported by others acquainted with the subject, that before dealing with these reserves finally a Commission of Experts should sit to classify all the reserves to select ample land suitable for Maori occupation, submit plans to the House. This course will be pressed on the Government. XhiWloyers' Idabihty Bill. The Employers' Liability Bill -will be a great boon to men employed on dangerous contracts, either earthworks or in bush. It is almost identical with the now English Act. It enables worKmon or their families to recover damages to the extent of three years' wages from the employers for in juries caused by the Careless conduct of works. Actions to proceed by the simple, inexpensive form—before a Resident Magis trate or two Justices, Mr Dargaville in tended to introduce a Bill, but Mr Green having brought one down, both are work iug together. Probably the Government will be induced to adopt and push it through. Auclilmul-Tavanaki Railway. A largely attended meeting of the Auck land-Tnranaki members was held to-day to receive the report of the sub-committee on the trunk line of railway. It was unani mously decided to adopt the report, and that all the members present form a depu tation to wait on the Government and urge the carrying out of the To Awamutu Waitara line, in the event of a new loan being floated as being the shortest, cheapest and most easily constructed. The question was raised as to the proprioty of giving any opinion as to whether a loan should be pro posed this session. Some member* urged that the Auckland and Taranaki repre sentatives should oppose any loan, unless the lino was definitely provided for, but the majority considered it would bo im proper to interfere in this way in a matter of colonial importance, and that every mem ber bo allowed to exercise his individual judgment. The House To-day.

The House met to-day at 2.30.

Mr Daniels gavo notice to move a re solution in favour of obtaining a training ship from .he Imperial Government Mr Smith gave notice of an address for a vote of £6,000, for subsidy to district libraries.

I am requested to state that at to-day's meeting only ono member—Mr Peacock— suggested that they should express an opinion to the Ministers as to inadvisable* ness of floating a loan this session. The others strongly opposed any opinion ono vay or the another being expressed.

AUCKLAND PRESBYTERY.

The Auckland Presbytery met this tore noon, in St. Androw's Church, Rev. K. F. Macnicol (Moderator) presiding. Tauranga.—A call from the Tauranga congregation, to Rev, J, Killen, was ac cepted by that gentleman,—The Roys, McKinney, T. M, Fraier, J. Mark, and J. (iow, were appointed a commission of Presbytery, to perform the induction cere mony, at such time as might bo convenient to the Tauranga people. ONEIIUHGA. —An elder's commission appointing Mr A. Dunwoodio eldor to repre«ent tho session at tho Presbytery was road, brr. David's and Noeth Shore.—Rev. D. W. Kuncinian resigned his connection with ths sessions of thesa charges. The rcr. gentleman stated that he believed Mr Thomas Macky would act at St. David's. —Tho formor resignation was accepted, and Mr Macky was elected to (ill - the vacancy.—la the case of tho second resig nation, it was decided tbat it should not be accepted, but that Mr Runciman be appoiuted Moderator.—Tho names of Messrs Sibbin, H. Barton, and Lennox were added to the session,

New Plymouth.—Roy. S. Breach (minister), and Mr John McLaugbliu (member), ot St, Andrew's, New Plymouth, appeared as a deputation in answer to the citation of the Presbytery, to show cause why the pastoral tic binding the. pastor to the congregation should not be dissolved.— Mr McLaughlin asked for what reason it was sought to dissolve the pastoral tie.— Rev. R. Soinraervillc replied that where there was reason to believo that tbo usefulness of the minister had ceased, the Presbytery had power to dissolve the pastoral tic. They had abun dant evidence to prove that the usefulness of Mr Breach at New Plymouth was not what it ought to be.—Mr McLaughlin said, according to tho rules, only the General Assembly had the power to dissolve the pastoral tie.—Mr Sommerville replied that the matter had been referred from the As sembly to tho Presbytery with power to dissolve.—A petition from twenty members of the church at New Plymouth, praying that the pastoral tie binding them to Rev. S. Breach be dissolved, was laid before Presbytery, They said that a want of cordiality existed between the con gregation and the minister, and that 'the latter had adopted a defiant attitude, and had refused to give up the deeds of 1 the church property until certain arrears :of salary, which he claimed, but the liability for which they denied, were paid. They asked that a now minister be appointed.—Mr McLaughlin stigmatized ;the allegations of the petitioners as malicious and vindictive falsehoods, and said there was a false statement a^out Mr Breach having embezzled £60, which they expected to bear in the petition. It had been' secretly prepared at New Ply mouth, and thej were riot allowed to see it. It appeared to him that they had been brought all the way from New Plymouth, to answer no more serious charge than that Mr Breach had failed to reply to a letter from the Presbytery.— Rev. S.M. Breach also'addressed the Pres bytery, He said when he entered upon the charge, in 1872, there were 40 communicants on the roll, but of this number he never saw more than 20, the remainder having returned to the country after the troubles with the Maoris had been settled. Several left' through a dispute _ regarding the position of the harmonium in the church, while others severed their connec tion when the new hymn-book wad intro duced by direction of the -Rev. Mr Bruce, Not 'one of the original communicants remained, but there were still twenty communicants on the roll,—ln answer to Mr Runcirhan, Mr Breach' said he had not brought the books with him1, and could not give the statistics required.'— A long 'discussion took place, and it was eventually agreed, in the interests of both minister and charge, tc sever the pastoral tie binding Mr Breach to New Plymouth congregation.—lt was subsequently stated by Mr McLaughlin that the congre gation had promised to contribute £}00i: a year in future, and it was then resolved that the resolution should not take effect until a Committee of Enquiry had visited the distiict and reported on the whole matter,

DEATH OF MR STRANGE.

We regret to have to record the sudden death of Mr J. B. Strange, of Parnell noto riety. The deceased gentleman was in bis usnal spirits, we believe, up to this morning, The full particulars of his death are not yet to hand, but from a message received, he must have dropped dead. He was in the Star office on Monday or Tuesday, and looked as well as ever he did. No man was better known in Parnell than he. He was a most zealous politician, and of tho roughly honest and upright character. He was, we believe, over 80 years ot age.
