Bia,-In my last epistle I stated that I had been present at my friend Denton'a farewell ' lecture?. I rejoice to ccc that Blnco then ror.ry ot ins local clergy have been exercising theic maselve intellects on the problem of the origin - ■- of man, I p joloo bjcaußo I have noticed tbat potentlflo" sermons invariably tend to the ;-5sS development of Fceptlciem, iafetcad oi the in- '■fSffl crease ot faith. Tbe theories or scientists and of •'advanced" clergymen on the origin 'HI of mail are intensely amulet; to me, for I am familiar with the real faota cl the case, was there all the time, and know ;i>lsK precisely what took: plaoo. It tho pareota would only cast asldo the silly prijadiee they "••'Sp have against me, and appeal to me tor light on V tho Babjeot, I might givs them Bomo valuable information. The Bunday aftar my evolutionary Bplrltaallttlo friend tooK his departure. I at- •■• 3 tended a eervloe at which, it was announced, :'i the blasphemous scientist was to be "answered' as I thought this wooH be a favourable V opportunity for inspection. Observing a ft bald-headed o'd tinner, with lascivious -i'lll ■ eyes, flat nose, sensual month, prognithoaa jaws, Bnd snormouß back-bia n development, aitilng near the front, I took temporary pos session of him. and caused him to wink and 1 leer at the Rirls. who. I am pleased to Bay, * appear*d highly flattered at his attentions, and Higgled moßt becomingly. The plsoa waa crowded, but there waa little decorum amongst ; fl those present. Coaversatlon was fxcely ia dulged Id, and langhter was fnqaeat mid unrestrained. (I m»y here state that of all ihe i ooDgregsUoiiß which meet for worship in your -¥ city, the Roman Oatholica behave in the most devout and ceoorons manner.) The preacher's "answer may ba Bummoced npin oce word— dovll I During its delivery he said "he did not : ■ - oareaetraw what hie andiouce believed, and,' * as far as he was personally concerned, they ' '- , might all go to the devil if they pieat-ed." I Bond scarcely Bay that this declaration ■■■?! gratified n:o exteeaingh. atd I was de lighted to notice that the audletco, instead of being shocked, laughed most heartily,- Still I was not altogether p'eascd with the ' leoture. Tho abuse which I received was ex • pented, and my diabolical compoaura la never - I raffled by such treatment, however severe it may be.

I did» not feel much anxiety about this congregation; , as I found on enquiry that the churoh dots' not number 150 men-bers. The leoturer makes ' many oonverts. but very few Chrlattans, »na that is all I oare about. He induoeß people to • bellve that the Bible teaches materlallßm. but he prevails on very few of hiß oenvflrta to etter the fold.

And to make the notice. If possible, more teni- ' ble, it 1b witnessed by no lobb a personace than I Thomas Cotter, BOlioltor. Auokland. Aa;the notioa required no wUdcbs, we very fairly - ••"inlre why the name ot the solicitor of tbe * > i City Connoil has been appended to it. Are we to regard the announcement as an indireot , emanation of the mind of the Clvlo • *■ -' • Authorities; and for the purpose of in- ■ &$ Umldating oar ratepayers tv certaloJy has that appearance, and ought at once to bo disavowed. It is set out In our petition, in refer enoe to the one lately sent to WeUingtoo, that .:■■, t tbe same of at least one ratepayer haß been afliied to It without his knowledge or coaaent, ana we pray that the same may be inquired : into. We give his name and number. Is this . ÜbeUoust The name of that ratepayer heads our petition. It is also set ont tbat the names ot non-ratepsyors of the aistrlot were attached to ; the same petition, and this also we pray may bo inquired Into. We are roady to verify it. Is this libellous? It ia also bos out that the ohy hue ft debt of £262,000 and upwards, whtlo our district has none • and that we, If united to ihe ■• ' city, shall be compelled to aid in paying the Interest on that formidable amount, this libellous? We have mentioned tbat lhß oltT., expends in salaries, every year, no less a . I Bum than £1600, while the government of , our little locality I* carried on gratuitously. Ih this llballouß ? We have alto sot out that we have no guarantee, if united to the City, that the rovenue of our district. Email as it may bo, would be expended wtthin it, or that public works would be oommenoed within it, for many a long year, except at our sole ezpenße, Is this libellous? As a libel must refUot on thoUir " ...:: fame and repute of some psrson or persons, Messrs Wilkeß and BrooklnK ought to have favoured us with the names or descriptions c.f the parties injured. As they have not dope this, we must, for the present, pursue the even tenor of oar way In tfco matter of our petition, regardless alike of thei' Billy notloe and ot their small-beer law on tbe subject ot libel, and of Borne unaccountable nonsense oontained in a local respecting tho petition la the " Herald " of this morning.
