CHURCH AITEHDANCE IN AUCKLAMJD.

ON Easter Sunday, we carried ont, by means of our. own .stuff, recruited with assistance from without, a comas of the attendance at the forty-four churches in Auckland city and suburbs. Unfortunately, the night was very wet, and seriously interfered with the evening service. For this reason, and also, for the pur pose of checking the Easter comgregatiom by thoee of an ordinary day, it was re solved to take the census again on a favour able opportunity. The weather could not poesibly have been finer, throughout, than it was yesterday, or more favourable for church-going, and our intention was accordingly carried into execution, fronting by former experience, the returns were repeatedly checked, and we do not hesitate to say that they may be relied upon as absolutely accurate. The result is gratifying. The total morning at tendance was 9.875, or just 76 persons in excess of the Easter returns, The evening services, as expected, were much more immerously attended ; the returns] show 8,674 persons, or 2,923 more than on the evening of Easter Sunday. It must be mentioned that there are three additional returns—Newton) Congregational, Hos pital, and Gaol — that help to swell the morniug total. Between the denominations the difference in the morning is not very great consisting of a decrease of 184 in the attendance at the Church of England, a decrease of 89 at the Wesleyan, and 69 at the Roman Catholic Chinches. This decline was nearly covered by increases in other churches in which the enumeration was made at Easter. The details are given folly in our compara tive summary. Testing Church attendance in Auckland by the results of yesterday's enumeration, we are justified in regarding the people of Auckland as exemplary Church-goers. Taking the population of the area within which the census was taken as 37,020, there were at the services yesterday morning about 26 5 per cent, of the entire popula tion, and at night 23,5 per ' cent. The adult per centage at night is nearly ss high as that in the morn ing, the lower general average being due to tbe fewness of the children who go out at night. If we again accept th« English estimate of individual attendances as being eighty per cent, of the aggregate for morning and evening, we have a total of forty per cent, of men, women, and children is Auckland and suburbs who put in an appearance at Church yesterday. Whatever view may be taken of this proportion, it is we believe a maximum attendance, which would not be excelled on any day in the year. The average of seventy English cities, was 29*5; we are, therefore, as shown by the former census, better church-goers tban the English, Inasmuch aa no aeries of seventy enumera tions in England could be favoured with fine weather, the Easter Sunday enumera tion, which was based on a fine morning, and a very wet stormy night, presents a fairer basis of comparison with the English returns than yesterday. We had, then, an average of 31 per cent, for Auck land, against 29.5 for England, Eliminating the children under 12 years of age included in the totals of yesterday, there were 13,964 persons of what may be termed adult age present at the double services, or on the 80 per cent, calculation 11,251 separate attendances. The issue of a portion of the detailed census returns since our last enumeration enables us to arrive at the average proportion of the population in New Zealand over 12 years of age. Accord ing to this average there are 14,080

children under 12 years, oat of the total population of 37,000. This leaves 22,920 persons of more than twelve years, and of these only 11,251, or less than one half attended church yesterday. It must be confessed, therefore, that while we stand so well relatively with England, there is still much] ground far the Rev. Mr Munro's homily on the prevalent disregard of the Apostle's injunction: "INeglect not the assembling of yourselves together,"

Mr E. W. Knowlfg, proprietor of the Napier " Daily Telegraph," accompanied by lu.t wife and daughter, arrived here by the To Anan to-day, en route far England, on a holiday tour. Mr Kuowles expect* to return to the country in December next.

On Saturday last £300 was subscribed at Napier in aid of Widow McCormick, whose hatband was tbe late agent for the Union Shipping Company at Napier. The de ceased gentleman was greatly respected all over the city, and hin rather sudden death from fever caught in the execution of bia duty was universally regretted. A meeting of the member* of the Hope of Manokau Lodge of uood Templars will be held to morrow evening in tbe lodge room, Oaehnogn, for the consideration of special and important business in connection with the future of the lodge.

A baptismal service is to be held in tbe W'ellesley-Estreet Baptist Church on Wed oenday evening, when tixteen perions-will be baptised. At the District Court to-day Mr H. H. Luak applied to His Worship tbat execution be stayed in the case of. Muilully v. comer field, until Thuriday next, when a crew action for a smaller amount than that for which judgment had been given would come on for hearing. Mr McDonald said they could pay tbe difference between the two amounts, aod prevent execution till Thursday.

We are desired to itate that the debate on 'The Necessity, or otherwise, of a House of Peers in England," will not take place thin evening at St.Sepulchre's schoolroom as previously announced. This question has frequently been dhcusned at home, and although mainly tbe House of Lords has been considered a hindrance rather than a help to political and social progress, the House still exists, even though that hard working veteran, Lord Brougham, is dead. An inquest was held at the Kaipara Hotel, Helenaville. ou the 21st instant, before Mr A. Bon.ir, coroner, and a jury, on the body of James Greenhill, who had been in the employ of Metsrs McLsod, timber merchants ot Makaruu. Mr Green hill was found dead in bii bed on the 19th instant. Deceased was a man of excellent character. The evidence was Uken, and the jury were ol opinion that death was caused by paralysis of the heart.brou'ht on by constant use of narcotic medicines.

The yacht race on Saturday afternoon re sulted in an easy victory for the City of Naples, tbe finish being :—City of Maples, 3brs. 24roins. sstc».; Thames, 3brs. 24min?. ssecs. The Lizzie did not finish. The twenty feet-open sailing resulted:— f runt-it, 4hr?. 30mins. ; Observer, 4hrs. 39mins. lOseca. ; Madge, 4hrs. 40mins.; Eunice, 4hrs. 47mins.; Empress, 4hrs. 47mins. The wager race between the Olive and Kuby was won by tbe latter, with 55«ecs. to spare.

Messrs Campbell and Margetts will take their complimentary benefit this evening in the Theatre Royal, for which a large and sufficient programme has been prepared, embracing songs, dances, reflections from "Valentine Vox," and performances by Madame Andree, Mrs' Wesley, Messrs Wesley, Moatague, Bennett, Crane, St. Oia.tr, Mars biill, Williams, McAueny, Mettam Bro>., Seager, Heighten, and Bnbaz n and Mr Fred Edmonds, the celebrated ' lightning caricaturist, in the greatest novelty ot the day. Conclusive testimony to the evils of long hoars of labour was lately borne by Dr. H»ra, when giving evidence before a Com' mission that has been appointed in Vic toria to investigate the subject. He stated tbat he bad been a little more than two years in Victoria, and during tbat time he had had many patients who h&d suffered from long hours. As a club doctor, he had attended 400 or 600 em ploye's in shop?, The long hours caused indigestion, and in every way damaged health. Since the employment of sewing machines, ill-health amongst females had tripled. Tbe nse of the treadle was very injurious. Some young women worked from 7 ii.m. until 12 p.m. in restaurants and public-houses!.

On the first night of a circus performance about a fortnight ago, says the "A ortli Otago Times,'1 in a town not more than 100' miles from Oamaru, a scene was enacted which showed that the local police are "all there" when constabulary duty is to be done. One of the performances eet down for the evening's programme was the appearance of a roughrider whose rule was to enter the ring an an inebriate, jump on to a bare backed horse, and there go through a series of feats. On the occasion-in question, no tooner had the seemingly intoxicated per former reeled into the circus, than he was pounced upon by a zealous sergeant of police who was on duty, and marched away en route to the lock-up. The "drunk" entered into the joke amidst the convulsions of the spectators, and the officer rounding on an unfortunate constable who endeavoured to point out his mistake, was wafting off his man under the impression that he had caught a bird, when the true state of the case at length dawned upon him nnder the increasing merriment.and he reluctantly re leased his prey. The mistake was perhaps a natural one, as the performer entered the ring through the public entrance to the circus.

A man named Young hag stabbed hia brother-in-law, Home, for interfering in a quarrel between himself and hia wife. A special meeting of the Fonjonby Bow ing Club, for the election of officers and other business, will be held this evening at Ponsonby Club Hotel. lha Ponaonby Wesleyan Church will be opened next Sunday, when the Key. T. Spargeon will preach in the morning, the Rev. T. Buddie in the afternoon, and the Rev. J. Robertson in the evening.

The patients in tne Hospital desire to thank Mr Huntar and the other members of the Artillery Band who were kind enough to play tor their entertainment on Saturday afternoon. It was a great treat to them, and they enjoyed it immensely. The evening service at the Theatre Royal was largely attended last nigbt. Mr Buddie presided, and an instructive and religious address was delivered by Frederick Larkins, Esq. Doran's Minstrel* were well supported on Saturday at the Theatre, and a healthy pro gramme sell executed. We learn that Mr Doran intends to take a musical tour through the principal townships of the Waikato.

A football match between the Parnell Second and the Albert Football Clubs took place in the Domain Hollow on Saturday and resulted in a victor} for the Albert by four points to nil.

'lhe "Herald" says :—"Saturday was St. George's Day, but little, if any, notice was taken of the event, Englishmen not being so jubilant over their patron Saint as the mercurial Irishman, or the more sedate Scotchman." The "Herald" makes a trilling mistake. Yesterday (the 23rd) was St. George's Day.

On Sunday lint the passengers and crew on board the s.s. Te Anau collected the handsome sum of £22 in aid of widow Kaikes, whose husband was accidentally killed on board the Kotorua. The deceased was greatly respected among bis mates, and no doubt the excellent example act by the Te Anau passengers and crew .will be repeated by the other steamers in the Union line.

During the past two or three day?, two deaths have occurred from typhoid fever at Freeman's Bay, A resident of this locality informs us that a visit from Mr Goldie is very much required, the sanitary condition of some of the back streets being very bad. Our informant feaw that unless prompt and effective steps are taken, an epidemic will take place. By a printer's error in the concluding paragraph of Professor Cailliau'n musical ' article which appeared In the Star supple ment on Saturday, the meaning of the writer was rendered somewhat obscure. The final sentence should read an follsws :—" For example: It one is in £ major, fonr slurps, or in E Hat, three Hats, one has only to substitute for the key of G (second line of stave) the key of C (first line of stave), etc., and, in tbu manner, the transposition is made at will, and is easily teen." G. was printed V, and C was printed D. The mistake, of course, would be palpable enough to people of musical knowledge, but it i.i just aa well to correct It. The question of reducing the salary of Mr Goodall, C.E., from £648 a year to £SCO has been warmly discussed by the Tiiuaru Harbour Board, of which Mr Goodall (for merly of Auckiaud) is the engineer. A motion was carried giving effect to the re duction, In the course of the discussion it was stated that at rapier the Harbour Board's Engineer received £800; at Dunedin £800; at New Plymouth, £1,000; at Oamaru, -i per cent commission, equal to more than £800 ; the Lyttelton Board had no Engineer, but had paid £400 a year to Mr Bell for the supervision of the con struction of tint new dock, he at the same time receiving £600 a jear from the (Jurist cburch Drainage Board. These sums give an average of more than £700 each.

An instance of the Lethean power of colo nial ale was atlorded this morning in the Police Court. Alexander Baker, a seaman of the crew of the British ship Oxford, was charged with being absent without leave on Saturday. Pdsoner said he was absent in more senses than one. He did not intend any offonce, bat went ashore for a glass of colonial beer, and bad the glass replenished a nnmber of times until he forgot to go back to his ship. He meant no barm him self, but lost hi« anchor in a sea of malt and hop. He woa willing to go back to his ship and to duty. Tbe chief mate, who repre sented the captain, feeling that Alexander whs "not a bad sort," prevented the sailor from luxuriating in the pastures of Mount Eden, or in his own emphatic language, " taking a draught at the 'Stone Jut."

The entertainment to be given in St. James's Ball to-morrow evening by Mr Barry's Auckland Elocution Clasi and tbe Sunday-school choir promises to be a great j access. An excellent programme has been prepared and published, and a glance over it shows that recitations, ire to be given by Messrs T. Mwky, B, 8. Barry, Snedden, W. Baker, J. McCoikrie, J. C. Macky, 15. C. Mackic, and G. Lawrence, and Master Yralter Barry. Tbe duet " Home to our Mountain*" will be rendered by Miss McMillan and Mr McCoskrie, whilo Misses McMillan and Mackie will con tribute the duet, " The JClfia CalL " Too ; former lady will also sing " WailiiDg," while Mr J, McCckiie will appear in hi« new sonjr, " Fly to thy rest, pretty Bird " One ot ths principal items is the dialogue from the " Kivuls," by Messrs K. S. Barry and McCoskrio. Tbe proceeds ot the concert will be devoted to the purchase of additional books for tbe Sunday-school library. , The resolution of the Harbour Board to construct a wharf at the end of flobson struct, has again drawn attention to the necessity for making the street at the bottom its lull width, It is univetsally admitted that the construction of the costly retaining wall there was a fatal mistake,' that must, sooner or later, be remedied, and it has been forcibly shewn that there is no time like tbe present for rectifying the error. The earth from the bill could be used conveniently and profitably in fill log up the railway station reclamation. The property owners affected should by thia time, be fully alive to the fact that with a wharf at the end of the street the cutting down of the bill would increase the value of tluir land three or four hundred per cent and it is to tbeir interest to initiate a movement for carrying out tbe proposed plan, if the present opportunity is allowed to pas j another may cot occur again for many years. !

Mr Luchlan McGowan, and the Dramatic Company at preaent in Auckland, will open the Theatre Koyal on Saturday even ing next, and will perform for a farewell season, introducing several new and attrac tive novelties; prominent amongst these will be the very latest adaptation of " Jack Sueppanl," in which tbe scents and exploits in the life of tbat notorious highwayman will receive highly eftectire display. The play is to be mounted In a very superior manner. It is the only dramatization of tbe great work sanctioned by the Lord Chamberlain. Tbe attractive drama of " Never too Late to Mend " will be re produced by special desire, for positively the last time, and the playgoine public are also promised " Rob Boy," with Mr McGowan in his great character of the Bailie, acknpwedged to ba the ableit im personation in tbe colonies. There has been such a dearth of amusements lately, that dramatic performances ought to be well supported.

A disgraceful icenc is repotted by the Melbourne "Age" to bare taken place on the vacant piece of ground adjoining the South Richmond Free Library recently. On this ground seveial members of the Sal vation Army stationed themselves, and they soon gathered round them an oat>em> blage of young men and, women and chil dren, and among the gathering waa a goodly number of the larrikin class. These amused themselves by throwing toma toes at the members of tho "army," and were, as a rule, unerring in their aim. "The Soldiers of the Cross," as they de lighted in calling themselves, bore the attack bravely, continuing their preaching, though rotten tomatoes rained like hail upon them, the teed being scattered all over their faces and bodies. One of the | band saving received a particularly large and decayed tomato in the eye, after care fully wiping away the mess, loudly cried tbat he was ready to suffer martyrdom for the sake of Him whom he served; and just as he had given vent to this utterance a dead rat was thrown at him, striking him in the face, while a. small boy dashed under his legs and set fire to a quan tity of "crackers" and tquibs. The mob then commenced to jostle the "army," and to do this several sham fights were impro vised by the larrikins. The " army " was knocked down several times, but were no sooner on their legs again' than they re newed their exhortations. The whole scene was a disgrace to a civilised com munify. Blasphemous utterances and dis gustingly filthy language filled the air, The "army" occupies this ground about three nights a week, and en those evenings the quietly dia posed people who wish to Improve their minds in the library are debarred from doing so,

At tha usual weekly meeting ot st, James* Mutual Improvement Association this evening Mr T. Crancb, of the Baptist Society, will deliver an e«eay on Com merce," postponed from l«st week. The Court "City of Auckland, A.0.b., purchased, last week, a valuable allotment, having a frontage of 40ft. to Karang.bape Roadtnd Beresford-street, or the sum of £1,130.

Mr Bntler, Captain of the Salvage Corps, who has been laid up at the District Hos. pital during the past few dajs, suffering from inflammation of the lungs, was a little better this morning, having passed a good night. A man named John Golding sustained some rather severe bruises by an untimely fall of earth while he was working at a cutting in Upper Queen-street, near the York Hotel, on Saturday. No bones were broken, however. Messrs Hewson and Melville, owners of the open sailing boat Transit, have issued a challenge to the proprietors of the Imp, to sail a match on Saturday next, over the course of the last race, the former staking £12 against the prize awarded the Imp by the Ponaonby Kegatta umpire.

Daring yesterday and this morning seve ral efforts were made by private parties to recover the body of Henry Webber, who was drowned at North Shore ou Friday last. Several drags were used and three Kanakas were also engaged diving, but up to the present all efforts have proved unsuccessful and it is feared the body may have been taken down the harbour by the receding tide.

It is a matter of supri.se that in a town of so much commercial activity as Auckland, the formation of a company for the insurance of plate glass windows has never been mooted. Such an organisation, we feel sure, would prove successful, even though the capital did not exceed £2,000 or £3,000. It has been estimated that there is £6,000 worth of plate glass iv this city.

A lad named Thoum Hnmby was severely shaken and bruised by being thrown from Dr. Pnrchaa's pony on Saturday afternoon. Xhe animal bad just been shod at Mr Phillip s forge, where the lad is employed, and the pony was en trusted to hia charge to lead home. Con trary to bis instructions, the boy attempted to ride the pony home, when the accident ocenred. Dr. Parchaa, who attended Llnmby, found that there were no bocej broken.

John liowt'K, who, it may be remembered, was for several weeks under treatment in the HospiUl a. short time since for injuries received from a fall in front of the Thistle Hotel in Queen-street, has been the subject of another and probably more serious acci dent. He left hi) house in Lome-street this morning, and before he bad walked far is said tS have taken a fit and fallen heavily on the road, BHStaining severe injuries about the head. H« bled profusely, and it was considered advisable to remove him to the Hospital. Here he was received by Mr Bryce and placed in as comfortable a position as possible until the doctor arrived, when the man's wounds were examined. It is feared he has sustained a fracture of the base of the skull.

The monthly service of song on the Hos pital lawn yesterday afternoon was well at tended by more than 200 persons, arid was altogether a most interesting scene. The sura shone with unusual brilliancy, and the transparency of the day gave a splendid view of the distant hills and the water, whila the scenery of the Domain and cricket gronnd, broken by trie-sheltered, verdant acclivities, and the thousand wild and grotesque forms, creep Dg shrubs, flowers and toliage of varied colours, might have furnished Milton with materials for a description o( the skirts of Eden. The selected choir, about thiity voices, under the direction ot Mr John Ryan, contributed greatly to the eujoyment of the inmates, who anticipate tQese services wiih child like pleasure. The singiig, much of it at sight, was characterised by care and harmony, The pieces were selected mo«tly from Sankey and Moody, consisting of " Work, for the night it coming," "Go, biry thy tor row," "We shall meet beyond the rivir,' etc. Mrs Kevitt'a voice was heard to advan tage. Miss Peace sang with good effect the fine solo, "Low at Thy feet," and tbe new hymn sung on board the Austrian frigate off Portsmouth was rendered with due solemnity, Mr Alexander Wiseman presided at tbe harmonium. Mr Lincoln delivered a brief address, and expressed hit gratitude at seeing «o many persons present and stated that tbe collection amounted to £3 10s, leaving a balance of £1 lOi doe on the harmonium. Within the last three months they had collected £40, consequent ly the collection at the next proposed Cnnrch of .England service, to be held on tbe 7th proximo (weather permitting), would be given to the widows of the men wlia had recently lost their lives by acci dents. The benediction was then pro nounced by Mr Dick, and the service closed with the doxology.

At the usual weekly meeting of the Freuch Literary Society on Saturday even iog, the Rer. i'eter Mason and Mr Arclii naid Clark were unanimously elected members, Tbe literary baainess consisted in the recital of one of Oe MuseetV most admired comedies, viz., "On no Badine pas avec 1' Amour," ("One cannot play with Love ") tbe parts in which were allottd aa follows :-The ctsorm or. explanatory part, which subserves the purposes iof narrative soliloquies in English, plays, Mr C. de LEan; The Boron (a French nobleman, who wishes to wed bis ion to his lovely ward, Cimille), Mr Thou. Mahoney ; Perdican (the Baron's son, who, resenting the paternal arrangement of his hand, con ceives a .dislike for Camille before seeing her, pretends to love her foster sister, Kosette, and then dually finds that Camille has nil heart), Mr Albin Villeval; Camille (the ward in question, who rapulses Perdirau on learning that his heartless conduct towards Rosette had broken her heart and led to her death), Madame Koley; Kosette (a pretty and innocent little rustic, foster sister to Camille), Miss C Clayton ; Dame Pluche (C&mille's governess—" a venerable dame"), Miss Eva Stavena; Blazing (Perdican's private tutor, a great Klutton and wine-bibber), Mr J. M. Geddis ; Bridame (the enrate of the parish, and, like Blazias, gluttonous and bibulous), Master Jules Grange ; a Peasant, MrD. JS. Gamier. Tbe recital was very well executed by every me of the performers, M. Villevaj's and Madame Foley's parti being especially well done. Miss Clayton and Miss Stevens also read the lines of their respective r6lcs with much ability. On Saturday next, Mr H. Pycrof t is to lec ture on " The Russians in Central Asia."

A pitiful attempt at practical joking was perpetrated on Saturday evening at the Young Men's Christian Association build. ing, while the meeting of the French Literary Society was going ou. The pro ceedings were about half over, when the gas jets suddenly went out, leaving the j audience in complete darkness. Mr A. Vil- I laval (tbe secretary) at once proceeded to the I meter-box, situated in the room beneath, which haa a frontage to Welleslcy - street, I and is known as the "social" room. Striking a match,|he found the door ajar, and the lid of the meter-box open. He turned on the gas, closed the - lid of the , b»x, and went upstairs again, j when the entertainment that w»a being held was resumed. About ! twenty minutes later the gas lights j again turned down and all but disappeared, just sufficient light being left to show where tbe giua'ier was. Mr Yilleval and Mr S. Clarke immediately hurried down the stair?, and to their surprise found that not only was the door of the " social" roomlocked, but also the street doar through ' which the audience would have to disperse. The door of the "social room was forced open and tbe gas once more turned on, ' No further pranks were played. Informa tion of tbe occuirence was, however, given to the police, and the detectives have now the matter in hand. People may not be generally aware that the offence is one which the law prohibits under severe penal ties. An offender in this respect can be summarily dealt with and sentenced to six • months' imprisonment with hard labour without the option of a fine. When one considers how easily a panic with its train of disas trous results may be produced by the ex tinction of the gss in a crowded building, he will not be apt to think the measure of punishment excessive for practical joking of the kind referred to. The -miscreants have evidently been playing their " little fame " at various places in' the city. On 'riday evening the gas taps in the Pitt street Wesleyan school-room were all found to be turned on. Fortunately the strong odour of the escaping gas was detected in time, and matches were not struck until it had had an opportunity of escaping.

Gas consumers ate reminded that to morrow Is the last day on which discount Id allowed on gas and coke aooonntg.

O'Brieo, the celebrated champion, will take place at the Lome street Hall on Saturday next, when, commencing at 11 a.m., he will un dertake the wonderful feat of covering 75 miles in 12 hours, a distance that has never yet been accomplished in the time. Com. petitions for our localpeds will also be held, and during the evening the champion will be presented with a valedictory address, and testimonials from his nnmerous ad mirers. A girl named Jeanette Mincham, dangh ter of Captain Mincham, of Abercrombie street, was carrying a lighted candle through their house on Saturday night, when it set fire to some lace which was

around her neck The flames were extin guished by her father, at the cost of severely burnt hands, but not before the girl's neck, face, and hands, were eeverely burned. Medica! assistance having been obtained, the usual remedies to alleviate the pain were applied, and the girl is now doing very well.

The Art Exhibition was well patronised on Satin Jay.especially after diwk,when the music discoursed by the Kngineer and City Band, under Mr Impey,[formed an addi tional attraction. Miss C. \V. Home has been awarded a prize for a study in water colonr,and two pictures have been added to the "loan collection." To-night the draw ing ot the Art Union takes place and the exhibition closes formally on Wednesday evening.

The Stud Company's new stallion, Ster liogwortb, arrived by the Te Anua today and was taken in charge by Major Walmsley and left in Messrs Morrins' stable High Street. Sterlineworth is a dark cbeatnut with a tiny white star on the torehead. He| appears to be in grand condition, looking more like a trained hois? than one who has just come off a 16,000 mile sea voyage and as frisky as a two-year-old.

A Port Albert correspondent forwards oft an account of Mr S. Hemus's lectures throughout that district, and strengly re commends hu engagement by the Temperance bodies as travelling lecturer for the North Island.
