It is evidently a rate of suicide.

BAND CONTEST.

THK THAMES SCOTTISH VICTORIOUS.

The Band Contest at Messrs Btark and Quick's gardens, North Shore, on Saturday afternoon, was a great success. Beautiful weather favoured the gathering, and there could not have been lets than throe thousand people in the enclosure. Only a few scats hnd been provided, and tbc majority of the spectators were compelled to stand daring the progress of tho contest. A tent was provided for tho judges, vii., Herr Schraitt, Mr Owen (of the Thames), Frofoasor Cailliau, Mr Angelo Forrest, and Mr Neil Heath. They ar ranged that in order to secure a fair trial, and also to givo a ohaDce of arriving at a correct decision, each bend should play their selections, the first time without, and tho second timo with drums. The bandmasters agreed to this, and drew lots for order with the following result:— Artillery, Ist; Thames Scottish, 2nd ; Engineers, 3rd ; Hobson, 4th. The Judges Agreed that the maximum number of marks to be gained would bo 200, made up as follows :—SO for tone, 50 for time, 50 for expression, and 50 for general excellence. The contest was thsn commenced, the following being tho selections played :— Artillery Band, fantasia, " Honors;" Thames Scottish, selection from " The Erido of Neatb Vall»y;" Engineers, fantasia, " Emirn ;" Hobson, selection from tho "Pirates of Penzance." After an interval of ten minutes the Artillery executed the "Emira" fantasia'; Thames Scottish, "Our Dear Alsace;" Engineers, selection from "Les Buguenotsj" and the Hobson, "Rose d'Amore." This concluded tho contest, and the judges retired to decide npon the prize winners. During tii« interval, the four bands amal gamated, and played a march under the conductorship of .Mr Thompson. Mr Schmitt then annonncod that the judges had unanimously agreed that the band which played second in order should be awarded first prize, and tho band which played third in order, second prise. The judges were pleased to recognise among* t the bands which had not been successful in getting prizes abundance of musical capa city, that only required additional practice to reach a very high state of culture. Had it not been for slight nervousness on the part of some of the bands, the result of tho contest might have been eornowhat different. It was then announced that the Thames Scottish bad won the first prize, whilo the Engineers had taken second prito. The announcement was received with cheers, and Bandmaster Hunter, of the Thames Scottish Band (who is a brother of Bandmaster Hunter, of the Artillery), was carried round the ground ahouider high. The assemblage then diaperacd. (iold and silver medals respectively will be presented to the members of the winning and second bands. They have been specially manufac tured by Messrs Teutenberg, and are vory creditable bb works ot art. Mr Thompson bas decided to present the medals to the Thames Scottish on the occasion of a con cert at Grahamstown on Monday evening next.

Although the contest was well-attended, it certainly cannot be considered a success. General di.ssatisfatioijJ was expressed by the public, and many people, after paying their money, were so disgusted that they retraced their steps and returned to town. How ever beautiful and interesting Messrs Stark and Quick intend to make their gardens, tho grounds did not appear to advantage on Saturday. Visitors paid their money at the gate, and were ushered Into a bare and recently ploughed enclosure, surrounded with concrete walls. There was no sign of vegetation anywhere, and the only seats available for ladlos were several dirty logs and a few planks on which the workmen had mixed their concrete in building the walls. A crowd of tho male sex formed around the competing; bauds, com pletely shutting them out from the view of the other spectators, who bad nowhere to sit down, and who naturally preferred remaining in an un pleasaut staudiuj,' posture to strolling through the loose ploughed soil of the gar dens. Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that visitors were dissatisfied, tsurprise was evinced at the indiscretion of Messrs Sturk and Quick' in allowing their grounds to be thrown open to tho public before their proposed improvements had well been commenced, inasmuch as a false impression is liable to circulate which even years hence may act to the detriment of the gardens. MOONLIGHT CARNIVAL. The moonlight carnival was a failure, lietweon five and eiuht hundred people wcro present, and atnouest those, were a large number of half-drunken larrikins. Several stand-up lights took place, and the dancing was very disorderly, and, as might naturally have beon supposed, was only taken part in by a low class of people. A few rockets wero let off, and coloured lights burnt, and this formed the pyro technic display. The booths did a large business during the evening. About forty youths and a number of young women missed the Jast steamer, and were compelled to spend the night at the marine suburb. Some of the number made them selves comfortable in the cabin of one of the ferry steamers, while the remainder wan dered about the district until tho departure of the first boat for Auckland yesterday liiuriiii^j,- _______

The Attempted Shooting of the Queen.—The Bullet Found.

LONDON, March 3. THE Queen continues well, her health having in no way Buffered in consequence of the attempt on her life. Universal sym. pathy is manifested towards Her Majesty. Telegrams have been received tOday from various foreign Courts testifying to the sympathy which is felt, and expressing gratification at Her Majesty's providential escape from injury. The bullet which was fired from tho assailant's revolver has been found near the 3cene of the outrage. The prisoner—Roderick McLean—was brought up to-day at the Police Court, charged with making an attempt on the Queen's life. He was quite collected, showing no symp toms of insanity, and pleaded that poverty drove him to commit the outrage. Ho declared that he had no intention of murdering Her Majesty. Ho was re manded to Friday next.

(BY TELEOBAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.) WELLINGTON, this day. I learn tbat the Volunteer Re-organisation Committee ars not a happy family, and re quire re-organising thenuolvcs, Major General Davidson is president, and is bo haughty and dictatorial that his brother Commissioners have all they can do to put up with him. Ho apparently thinks that the others have no right to say a word, and if ho docs not get his own way, he dashes his pen down violently, and threatens to resign. Ona of h\B pet schemes is to abolish the Naval Brigades altogether, but this the others will not listen to. It was at first suggested that the Government should be asked to appoint four more Commissioners representing Otago, Southland, the West Coast ot. North Island, and Thames, but evi'jfeilly it was almoit unanimously rcsolveiJtFjNvt two should bo appointed rcprcaehmßJjfotago snd tho Thames re spectivel^iOKJjjuoral Davidson opposed the propMsGjffiost 'i«lently, and said if it wan agliselijtfyilH: would atUch a memo to the ivyjSuticm, lequeating ths Gov ernment wjjrappoint two more imperial officers tojjjapport him on tho Board, Captnlu Crowe in a Government official, and is not altogether free to express his opinion, and be has been instttlcted by the Dafeuco Department to act aa secretary until Captain Webb, adjutant of the volun teers, at present in Nelson, and son-in law of General Davidson, can leavo his busi ness and come here.

THE BRADLAUGH EPISODE.

(To the Kditor.)

Sin,—l trust you will permit me to make ono or two remarks on the reasons why, under the British Constitution as at present existing, it appears to me impossible that a pronounced atheiat. such as Mr Bradlaugh announces him -801 lto bo, could be allowed k> take his soat in tho British Homo of Parliament. My chief argumont is this, v.z, that in Britain, Cburoh iwd State are united. It, o( oourae, Is not, as regards the present argument, a quettlon as to wnethor they ought or ought not to be united. It is a matter of faot the// are united, a»d by this Unity the people of England, through their reptcsoniatives in Parliament, recog»l»o and allow (1) that ihore is a God; (2) that Protoat antlun must bo the religion of the ruling monarch; (3) that tboro shall be a recognised national State oouroh; and (1) that there shall bo a reoognited nat'.ocol form of worship, '('his is the British law.

Now, all Kplaoopnliann and others convers ant with the Church of England praywbook are a warn that in it tho nation admit that although tho Qacon is the Sovereign, yet slio is only Clod's Minis tor. For Instance, ono prayer runs thus;

"So rale the heart of Thy chosen sorvant Victor-in, our Queen and Governor, that she, Knotting ichosc minister she is," &0.. &oi .Ami iikhlb. "that we and all her subjects, duly considering whose authority she hath, may ftithfmly serve, honour, and humbly obey her, in Thee and for Thee, nooordlng to Thy blessed Word and ordinance.1'

Tula is the nation's prayer, and it matters not one iota wbother in Britain churchmen are iv a minority or a majority, so long as there ia a State Church, and so long as the Church of England prayerbook is the legalised outcome Jof it, ao long must the jrayers con tained it be the "nation's" prayer?, and not the prayers of Isolated :oongregatlono. If this Is granted, whst thonJ Wby.lt follows that the "nation" prays "that they faithfully s«rve. honour, and humbly obey Victoria, in God and for God, according to His blessed Word and ordinance" and consequently no representative of tho people could consistently take the oath of allegiance to Her Majeßty unless he also re cognised the higher power " whoee authority >ihe hath." Praottoally, whoro Chnroh and State are united, as in Britain, the oath of alle giance is quite as much to Him from whom the aathority oomes, as to har who wields the anthorlty. Consequently, under existing olr cumstanoes, a denier and repudiator of the Giver ot the authority could not consistently be allowed to tube his Beat amongst the nation's legislators. It Mr Bradlaugh takos his seat, the din-establishment of tho Church of England fol lows as a matter of course; the Bishops alto, as » matter of coarse, will be expelled from the House of LordPi and Protestant suooesslon will ceaso to be tho law of the land. And this would all come to pass not at all through any aotive exertions on the part of Bradlsugh himself, bnt solely because the common sense ol tho nation would peroeive that athestical legislators and theocratic institution* are two things that could not work together for the good or the dignity of the empire.-I am, &c, Anolo-isbaei,.

THE DEVIL AMONG THE CHURCHES.

(To the Editor.)

Sib,—An alarming report wm recently olroa- Utti ia paadsmonlam to tha eftoct that things w«re not prcßreßilng ao favourably In Auckland as I ooald wish. It was said that oharoh debts were being paid off new chnrohes ereotsd, great wvivals lining h»ld, tha number of pro fessing Chriatlanslncreaslnz to an •xtraordinary, and to mi, clißKuitlng extent, and most omlnons of all, that Sotday oolleotioas were swelling vUibly. I had been go bu»y endeavouring to create a Mnropesn war, trying to in troduoa my friend Bradlaugh into the Honse of Commons (and aot iuoo»edlng), lnolllng tbo Irish to outrage and aeaanlnatlon, eta, so that beyond exartlng myself to keep tte Bible out of your uohoolH, and directing the movements of your ooliUolans—whom I thank warmly for the zeal they invariably display on my behalf—l had left your cl»y to the tender mercies of my subordinates. I regret to Bay the trust was to some extent, but not very largely, betrajed. I determined, therefore, on a general viait of inspeotion. I hare up to the present time visited three churohes, and what 1 saw and heard there caused my caudal appendage to oaoiliate with delight, I first called at one of.the prettiest ohurohes in your city. It was on a tiundny morning, and tho first thing I noticed was that the regular minister was not there, 1 ascertained that ho was preaohitig to a " oall from the Lord." from a distant congregation, I smiled when I discovered that the Lord had in this cill offered him £100 a year more than he is nowgottlng. As I passed do wn tho aiile, I heard one of the most devout members (an old friend of mlae) whisper to his neighbour that the minister, att»r preaching to one oall. wob going urther on to preach to another. " Well." said the person addressed, "I never thought the Lord would call a man to two plness at onoe hundradß oil miloi apart." I looked round the church; the ladles were mentally criticising oaoh others hats, bonnets, eta; the men were thinking about Monday's business, and the youn? men and women in tho ohoir were at their acoustomed amusement of winking, whispering ami smilingat each other. I passed i out perfectly satisfied with the state ol affaits in thisohuroh. Then I was oallfd away for a short time to Ohristohurch. I wished, if possi ble, to provont disoovery of what was going on uuder my direction at the Normal School, for although I have been denounced as a "roaring lie*' I genorally prefer to work quietly. I found that discovery was Inevitable, and I see now 1 that it has all come out. Returning to Auckland I went ono Monday evening to another church. Tho bui'ding was orammed, chiefly with girls. Ah I me.l thought, Ihavo negleotod this place too long, Aa I entered I hoard the speaker say :— ■•Mr S. has said that he would rather be God's doe than the devil'B darling. So would I, for however favoured you may be by the devil he will only make you do his dirty work in this world and in ihe next he will klok yoursool about in the bottomless pit." lam acoustomed toabu'O, co merely smiled In my benevolent way and said nothing. Ihe meoiing went on, and during its progress the minister meandered round the church offering for sale pbotograohß of the evangelist. I was delighted. I recollect the time wfibn a lot of my friends (I have them all sate now) were flogged out of the temple at Jerusalem! for selling doves. I don't know whether the modern ohurch draws the line bo- SS^irhia^ »| i mmmm mmmM d^rmM r «3S matters not to me whether the charges betrue or false. X yea the Patron saint of that ohurch, with all his doubt and aecptfotan. would Z&oowledge that it belongs to me. I Wend* continue my tour of inspection, but I havn little f«ar as to the result. Never were my affairs in nfmore-healUiyand flourishing oonaWon, a»4

Of all my friends and auiet, I esteem the mddern Christian Chnrcn the dearest and best — Believe me, dear Mr Editor, yours eternally and Infernally, Mephißtophelxs,

The wife of William McNally died sud denly in a fit last night. The parties were only married on the previous day.

Accident to Mr Dennison.

AN accident, which will probably prove to be of a serious uaturo, occurred this ifter noon to Mr Denniato, of Newmarket. He was riding round the corner of the Remuera itoad, when by some mis chance he was thrown from the animal. A crowd of persons collected on tho spot, and Ret. G. JJ. Monro, who was passing at the time in his cwraige, had him placed in the vehicle, and had him conveyed to his (Mr Monro's residence). Mr Taito attended to tho injuries which had been sustained by Dcnnison, but tho nature of these had not been aacertained when our informant left. Blood was, however, flowing from several nasty cuts and bruises.

FIRE AT MOUNT ALBERT.

A serious fire took place at Mount Albert on Saturday evening, the stable, loose boxes, granary, etc,, attached to the promises of Mr R. C. Greenwood befng burnt to tho ground. Mr Greenwood and his family are residing at their summer residence at Lake TakapUna, and the only persons on the Mount Albert property were a man named Murphy and a boy- Murphy states that when the cows were milked at 5.30 o'clock everything appeared to be safe, and he was under a similar im prcision when he visited tho stable at six o'clock. At seven an incipient conflagra tion was discovered in one of the loose boxes, and effort* m de to extinguish it, but without avail. In an incredibly short timo tho building was in flames, anil scarcely anything was saved. Fortunately Mr Greenwood had sent his carriage to Cousins and Atkins for ropairs, and had taken the buggy over to tho Lake with hinii The buildings wore totally uninsured. Mr Greenwood estimates his loss at £250.

ST. THOMAS'S DISPUTE.

OPBN AlB BKRVICKB.

tub announcement that service would be conducted in the open air in the event of the veitry of St. Matthew's refusing to open St. Thomas's Church, attracted a large nnmber of persons to the vicinity of the building in question yesterday morning. It was discovered that, during the week, the locks on the doors had been dunged, so that tho vestry was roally in possession. It was decided to wait until 11.16 a.m. before commencing the service, in order that the wardens should hate time for repentance, and during the interval the following letter was received by Mr Cornish from the authorities of the Union street Wesieyan Church: " Sunday, March 5th,1882. To the congroß»tion,St. Thomai's Church, Uniou-«treet,—The trustees of the Union-street Wesieyan Church bavins heard that you purpose^holding an open air service to-day, respectfully offer you the use of a numbtr of seatt for tho occasion ; they also ofl»r the use of the church from 4 to G o'clock this aunday afternoon, March stb, for a service, If you desire.—Yours respectfully, for the trustees, James OABADTjs." It was also stated that the Primitive Methodists of Franklin Road were prepared to offer similar assistance, hut tho general opinion was that they should hold tho services as near as possible to their Church, if thoy could not get inside, and an answer to that effect was forwarded to Mr Caradus, who was also sincerely thanked for his kind and Christian offer. It was further stated in conversation that three clergyrneo.including His Loidihip Bishop Cowie, and four lay men..were preparedfto conduct the services if the use of the church could be obtained, but that the building was vested in the people's warden as trustee and any person entering it without his consent (even tbc Bishop himself) would bo liable for breaking and entering, or of being illegally on premises. The service commenced at 11.15 a.m., by which time there was a largo attendance and a full choir under the leadership of Mr B. N. Forder. Mrs John Waymonth lent her own piano to assist in the musical part of the service, and also accompanied upon it herself. Mr Cornish, iv commencing the eervilie, said:—lt was strange, but true, that thoy had received more courtesy and consideration from lister communions than from those to whom they had a right to look for aid and support, He then gave out Hymn 291, commencing—

Oft In danger, oft In woe, Onward, Christians, onward go; Bear the toll, maintain the strife. Strengthened with the Bread of life. The regular order of the morning service was omitted, aud instead of the litany the prayer for all conditions el men was read. Daring the service the choir rendered the Venite, Te Deum, and Jubilate. The lessons of the day were not read, but lessons intended to be appropriate to the circum stances of the occasion were selected. The first was the 34th chapter of Ezekiel, and the second from the 12th chapter of St. Matthew, commencing from the 13th verte, " And one of the company said unto Him, Mast«r, speak to ray brother that he divide the inheritance with mo," &c. The 215 th hymn was thin sung, after which Mr Cor nish addressed the gathering, taking bin text from the Gospel of St. John, chap] zii., verse 6: "This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein." The sermon dealt entirely with the life of Judas Iscariot, and the'preacher said that in marking out Judas for this sacred office, the Lord was not deceived, as he knew the motives of Judas, and foresaw the whole of his future career. It might seem wonder* ful that He should thus choose Judas, but He dealt in the same way with Pharaoh, and deals so with many in the same way at the present time by raising th«in to situations in which they were capable of doing extensive mischief—disgracing, opposing, and corrupting the Bible, which they professed to teach. With a heart enslaved by covetousness —Judos' beset ting sin—it was difficult for a man to be strictly honest. The strongest barriers were insufficient to restrain such a temper, and so it was that the roost sacred trusts were frequently betrayed. Men of that stamp would break through every solemn obligation in order to obtain a paltry sum. The service concluded with another hymn and the benediction. Shortly after the time fixed for the opening of the Sunday-school, the key was sent by the vestry to the resi dence of Mr Slyliild, Superintendent, with the request that it should be returned again immediately after the close of the school Service was conducted again in the evening by Mr Cornish, when there was again a compara tively good attendance. Probably some arrangement will he come to between the parties in dispute during the present week, but failing that, it is contemplated to hold open air services again next Sunday. The following is a copy of the circular which was freely distributed at the time tho building waserected :—St. Thomas' Mission Church, Freeman's Bay. Divine service is held in the church on Sundays, at 11 a.m. and 6.30 p.m.; on Thursdays at 7.30 p.m. The Holy Communion is administered on the third Sunday in each month at 8 a.m., and on other Sundays after special notice. Baptisms and Churchiugs on the third Sun day in the month at 4 p.m., and on Thnrs day evenings. All seats free and open. All are Invited. Sunday-school at 2.30 p.m. K. S. Hazard, M,A, incumbent of St. Matthow's. A copy of this had been for warded to His Lordship Bishop Cowie, with the object of showing that the building was intended for a church, and not a school.
