This company haa been formed for the pur poso of purchasing, subdividing, and selling and Buttable for sites for houses In pleasant, valuable dlstrlots noar to the City of Auckland, Tho properties already acquired are— 1. The newly laid out Township of St. Hellers, on the Southern Shore of Auck land Harbour, and Immediately opposite the Island of Rangltoto, containing 803 aores, with extensive frontage to tho Harbour. 2. Tho unnlionated portion of the Remuora Land Company's Katato, amount Ink to 101 acres. 3. A block of land in the Not thcoto District on the Northern Bhore of the Harbour, containing about 1000 acres, and having extensive frontage to the sea and to Tho St. Hellers Estate Is completely surveyed and peggod out on tho ground; and is ready (or mmedlata sale and occupation. There are numerous oholce Bites for villa residences, which for beauty and situation and other ad vantages cannot be snrpassedi There are also a number of highly valuable business Bltea on tho flat land near tho water, which have been laid out with special regard to the Interests of the commorclal members of tho community. Two special features of tho township require | mention, namely, the fact that reserve of good width rnns along the whole of tha water front age, and that In nearly all the blocks a central reserve has been mado, by whloh i access la given to the back or each allot mentt A substantial wharf ia in course of construction, whloh, when completed will allow large steamers to land passengers at low water. Thero are also several beautiful bathing bay, on the eastern portion of the beach, to which access has been afforded by tho conntruotlon of substantial flightß of steps. A first-class iron steamboat has been purchased, and will run regularly aa soon as tho wharf Is ready. Thero Is at present an exoellont road to this property, by way of St John's College, and tho drive past Mount Hobson and through Remuora is ono of tho most beautiful in the oolony, With a view of bringing the new township within a few minutes' distance of the city, a rail way has bean projeoted, connecting with the existing line at Mechanics' Bay. The surrey is now in progress, and as the lino will be level, It will be comparatively inoxponaive to work. The length will be a little over five miles. Tho Bomuera land Is so well known and highly prized that it is unnecessary to refer to it at length. Of the Northcote property, it Is enough to say that, when properly sub-divided, it will afford Bites to suit alt olassea and all tastes, and can be sold at prices which will sot fail to attract those who desire to. acquire a homestead near the city. It abounds with plcturesquo remnants of kauri forest and fern gullies, and the views to be obtained are un surpassed around Auckland. For all portions of the company's property, ho directors are prepared to deal with purchasers on the most liberal terms, and will offer special advantages to those who undertake to build suitable houses. A large proportion of the capital (over £51,000) baa already been subscribed by 05 members of the companies by the amalgamation of which the new company has been formed, and the public are now invited to take up the balance. The Directors have the fullest confidence that all who respond to the invitation will not only help to benefit Auckland, bat also make an ex cellent investment for themselves. 1 Applications for shares will be reoelved up to the 25th instant, by the Company's brokers Messrs Saundera and Alexander, from whom al particulars regarding the Artioles of Aesocia tlon, &c,can be obtained. money i A UCKLaHD PERMANENT A.

Sib,—As the citizens and tradesmen of different handicrafts are at the present juncture about ta make a public demonstration in favour of thn ' eight horns movement, It might not be out of place, 1( it did not take np too muoh journal room, to say a few words on behalf of our re tall shop assistants and counter hands, main especially those connected with both the dranenr and clothing trades. About ten years ago an * organised Karly Closing Association was formed in our olty, and while the thing was new anfl under thn management of an energetic eeoro. tary (Mr D. Cloonan, now of the Thames) Om association made its potency felt, some of the most rabid opponents of the system being ob liged to elope their shoes at rospectable honn> I don't know whether this association still" exists, but if it does it has like Kip Van Wiokla been torpid for a number of years. To me it aeems a problem unsolvable by any sense of reaeoning why tradesmen who vend books, stationery, &0., and others who vendVioekZ ' hinges, and other Ibard commodities can, witli junttcolto themselves, close their places of bnsl.

Exception might be taken to your making tha census on Easter Sunday, but if your object I was only to record church attendance under tha most favourable circumstances, you could, 3 scarcely have chosen a better day. very UtUo importance can be attached to them as indicat ing the numerical strength of the several reli- ,1 gious bodies, but that is no matter, because tha Government census does that; and no import tinea can be attached to them as indicating the measure of true religion in Auckland: because mere church-going is a bad test of ■. piety and morality. If you had in view any i other object (which I do not suppose you had) than merely 'showing the proportion of; church-goers hßre, you should have taken tha first Sunday in a month, when the non-Episco pal churches have Holy Communion, and their attendances are largest. But it should be no concern which particular church has tha largest attendance, and it savours too much of the rivalry of trade to be anxious that this op that church should make the best show in .a 'f column of figures. All who are not against Christ are for Him, although they differ in their mode of worship and service; so the greatest church should not boast, and the A smallest should not complain. If men are on His side wo ought to be glad even though they are not on ours. Three points struck mo in your census. First, was St. Patrick's Church incon veniently crowded with 880 people in it at the .■'■■'< same time ? Secondly, at twenty-one services the average attendance was thirty and- a half, while at ten services it was fifteen. This in- -In dicates superfluous sitting accommodation and misapplied capital. Thirdly, the number of menjattending public worship is greater than one expected. It has been a common taunt that our congregations are composed chiefly of women and children. Considering how they out-number men in any community, that is not to be wondered at, but what da your figures show? Twelve churches 9 had more men than women whilo the totals totted up to 6,012 men, against 5,910 women and 3,618 children. This is gratifying, for we must not conclude that those who do not attend church are antagonistic to religion. Many would attend if they could. Some cannot very well. These aro policemen, sailors an 4 boatmen, cabmen and stablemen, editors and! 31 their staff, doctors, invalids, railway employes, ;:|j men-seivants in clubs, restaurants and notels, the over-worked who are too fagged out, and the poor who feel too shabby; many of these would attend if they could. Religious statistics: are interesting, and would be valuable if ona could tabulate the re«l gain to morality and true godliness for the yearly expenditure of sa much money and effort,—Yours &c, V. G.

The papers are the most in« floentialin Italy,and comprise the "Diritto," the " Fanfalla," the ■•• Liberta," the "Ber*" saglieri," and the " Italia," of Rome, and the " Fnggolo" of Milan. The price paid ia stated at 560,000d01s and the papers are now' under one management. The account of the affair which gains most general credence, is that a short time ago M ; Gambetta's agents were in Rome negoti« ating tor the purchase of one or more news* papers, to be employed in counteracting tha | feeling of distrust against France which has recently been growing up in Italy. Thecon- % dition of the sale was that" the newspapers thus bought should for the future support the views and policy of the purchasers. Signor Obleight is the banker andiiews paper proprietor who has carried through the transaction. The staff ot some of the papers have already repudiated the pnr« chase by starting rival journals.
