The monthly meetiog of the Auckland teachara was held on Saturday afternoon in the Wellesley-street East School. Mr Henry Worthington in tbe chair. The object of the meeting was to consider whether or not the Association should send a delegate or delegates to the Teachers' Conference;, to be hold in Chrifitchurch during tho Christmas holidays. The members present were of opinion that the chairman would be the person to send to represent the Asso ciation. Mr Worthington eaid if do other teacher was willing to undertake the task he would willingly represent them to the best of his ability. Mr Ross suggested that two delegates should be appointed, and moved a resolution to that ett'oct. Mr Adams segonded.

The homely little church of St. Thomas, Union-street, under the teachings and pacific influence of the* Rev. Humphrey Oaviep, is steadily increasing in usefulness and power, and it now possesses a large and respectable congregation. The church was crowded last evening, and the welUtrained choir sang the musical parts of the service in careful and creditable style. The minister is a young man on the spring side of life's summer, but who has evidently fitted himself by close study of biblical knowledge for his responsible office as a spiritual teacher of the people, and who, by his evident sincerity and earnestness, is giving general satisfaction in the parish. Uia subject last evening was ''Suffering and Glory," based on St. Paul's epistle to the R'lmans, c. 8, V. 18, " I reckon that the sufferings of this preseot time are not worthy to be compared to the glory which shall be revealed in v;," 'ihe preacher elabor ated the text under two heads, (1) suffer ings of this present life, (2) the glory to be revealed, and estimated the one in compari son with the other. The first poitiun of the discourse was a skilful delineation of physical, mental, and household sufferings in a variety of phases, each contributing to the ministry of grief. The second part was illustrated by the promises of Bripture, without any pivsumptiou on the pait of the preacher, who simply nscd the plain written words apart from any poetic colouring or imaginary pictures of that glory. which is the result of faith.

Mr Gleoson received n telegram this morning stating than Na«h and Murphy have won in ttie champion hand-ball match between Uunedin a*d Invercargill.

Major Xc Wheoro has communicated with the AucKland Regatta Committee offering to retain the war canoes and natives here nntii January 20th to take part in another race, should the prizes be made large enough to make it worth their while to do so. The matter is at present under consideration of the Committee. It is feared the expense of keeping the natives from now till the Regatta takes place, In addition to providing large mouey prizes, will fall too heavily on tho funds to permit of To Wacom's offer being accepted.

They had been at the North Shore Kcgatta, and went out ta Onchunpa by the late train, and wore proceeding across tho bridgo homeward when they wore savagely assaulted.

To the Editor : Sir,—My attention was ca'led to a notice in your i»suc of Tuesday of the boy Hamilton, whose leg was broken by falling off a roller at MutumnU some weeks flgo. It was stated tbit the limb was set by Dr. Cushncy, of CatnbriHgo, but that the boy, getting no relief, was sent to the Hospital. I think it only fair to Dr. Cushney to ntato that the limb was properly set by him, but that through young Hamilton foolishly using bis lrg before it was thoroughly set it was found one leg had become shorter than the other. Fear ing tbat it would require to be reset bo was sent to the Hospital for treatment. The Hospital snrgeon retorts this morning that tbo Dune was properly set, but that some of the sine wa wr'rc a little out of placo through Hamilton not taking proper care of himself—thus clearing Dr. Cushnty of all blame.—l am, &c, W. T. Firth.

At the District Court this morning, Mr Cotter, on behalf of the City Corporation, applied for a writ of injunction to restrain the Auckland Tallow Manure Manufac turing Company from erecting their pro posed factory near the Western Springe, on tho ground that the effluvia and drain age from such an establish i ent would seriously contaminate the source of the city water supply, to tbe great detii ment of the public hoalth.-Mr E. Heeketh, who appeared for the compony, asked that tho hearing of the application should ba ad joiirncd in order that he might have an opportunity of filiner certain affidavits showing that no contamination of tbe source of tbe water supply would result from the erection of the factory as proposed. The Icivned gentleman said that in opposing the application he would prove (1) that the business of the company was not to be carried on in the ordinary way, but that it would be done with improved appliances; and (2) tbat even if it were carried on in the ordinary way there would bo no drainage or effluvia from tbe chimneys by which the Sprngs could be contaminated. After these points had been dealt with there would remain to be argued the question of tbe Court's power to grant an injuoct'on of the kind applied for. Mr Cotter wished it (o be madeone of the terms of tbe adjournment that in tbe meantime the company should not proceed with the erec tion of their factory. Mr Hesketh would not content to this, saving that tho company were quite prepared to accept all the rbk conneced with tbe act, and His Honor (Judge Macdonald) did not think that aliy such stipulation was necescary for the ends of justice. Eventually tho hear ing of the application was adjourned till Friday next at 11 a,m,

Five Bodies Discovered.

[beutbr's cablbgkams,]

SYDNEY, November 11. The cause of the Austral foundering i<\ doubtful. The theory th&t the portholia were open is not bolievad.

Diver* aro now examining the vessel.

The Austral's position is unchanged. Divers have baeii at work, and have re covered the bodiesof five persons who were on b»nrd when the vessel sank. Mr Per- Kins (the purser) and one of the engineers were amoDg the number. The other three whoso bodies were recovered were teamen, SYDNEY, this day.

BOY KILLED AT MOUNT ALBERT.

AN accident of a most distressing character happened at Mount Albert on Saturday after, noon, resulting in the death of a lad of 12 years, named Ernest Travers Chalk, son of Mr J. A. Chalk, of Ponsonby. The boy was amusing himself by riding one of the horscH at Mr Giltnonr's farm, where Ilia father and tho family wero staying. By some unexplained means, tho horso becamo frightened, and tho boy was thrown oil. His foot caught in tlic stirrup, and he was dragged along somodistancejhis skull being fractured and tho brains scattered over the ground. Tho horse was quickly captured, But the poor lud expired about instan taneously.

DEATH OF THE REV. S. EDGER.

Our London correspondent, writing under date, October 7tb, says : It is my painful duty to have to chronicle tbe sad and un expected death of tbe Key. Samuel Edger, who arrived in England by the ship Pareora on Tuesday, the 26th ultimo. The voyage of tho Pareora was much protracted owing to eontiary winds, and Mr Edger seems to h tvo Buffered muth. Though the captain and officers did what they could to make thing* comfortable, it was impossible to provide food, &c; suitable for an invalid growing dally worse, and whea at length tbe vessel reached port, tho r.eT. gentleman appeared in a most exhausted condition. lie was immediately moved to tbe residence of his relations in Stockwell Park Koad and placed under medical treatment, but from the first there wan little hope. For 48 hours Mr Edgcr continued to take small quantities of nourishment, but attor th»t he refused everything, and on Saturday, Sep tember 30, at 1.30 p.m., passed quietly away. The funeral took place at Nunhead jesterday (Wednesday, October 4), at one o'clock, it soenn a sad pity that the Auck land doctors ihould havo pormittod Mr Edgor to travel by a sailing »blp which neither carried a doctor nor was litted with refrigerators (like tho Mataura) for taking fresh meat, fish and game. They must have known that hii disease would prob ably progress oontiderably, and that the want of proper nourishment might lead to serious result?. ••" ' [ Wo lca-n that some of Mr Edgar's friends endeavoured to ponuado him to go home by stearnor, but ho suffered so much pain by the jarring of engines on nUamers that he preferred tbe risks of a sailing ship].

GENERAL SUMMARY.

(For the Month ending October 2,2 nd.)

Great Britain.

Professor Blackie, of Glasgow, and Others, are about to start a fresh land agita tion in the Highlands. Ihe movement is wholly independent of the Land League.

A dispatch trora Dublin, October 4th, sayb tbo polico believe that tbc murderers of Lot d Frederick Cavendish and Under Secrctaiy Burke numbered ten, and are still in Ireland ; but that unless thg aid of some informer can be secured, the ciirne canaot be brought home to the guilty parties- Tho weupon9 used in the commis sion of the murders were found some days ago concealed in the raftors of stables in the rear of a house belonging to a man recently sentenced to penal servitude for intimidatiDgaMis Kenncy, widow of tho man murdered in Saville Place, bec*use ho was suspected of having given information concerning ihe murderer.!. It is_ alleged that Kenny was driver of the car in which the murderers rode. The weapons found were four knives nine inches long, with blades three-quarters of an inch wide. They are quite new, very sharp, and evidently surreal dissecting knives; tho blades were dißColourtd by, «r proved by chemic»l analysis, human blo»d. 'Ihe authorities maintain tho Btrictest wlence. Tbreo London detectives arrived at Dublin on the 15th of October,with three of the crow of the Gladstone, one of whom w isWesttfate, tho self-accused assaadu, who, as men tioned before, had sailed f »i the Wo»t Indiss. Tbo sailors wcto subjected to a searching examination, and the authorities arc thoroughly detcrmiued to sift the Wcstgate assertions, in order to quiet the public mind. Ttie police firmly adhere to the belief that Weatßfttc ia crazy, and that his assertions aro unworthy of belief. The directors of the Irish Exhibition Company held a meeting in Dublin on October 4th, and teconimended that tbo present building remain another year, and also that a series of cla»s exhibitions be held similar to those arranged at Agricultu ral Hall, London. The committee advised the holding of exhibitions ia vaiious pln.c«s in England and the United States, whh a view to popularising Irish manufactures. Tney urge, in addition, the formation of a new association to assist manufacturers. Kir Stafford Northcote made a spcoch in Glasgow on the 4th inistant, in which he declared the Egyptian w»r unnecessary and unjustifiable, and that it c«uld hava been avoided by a firm stand vt the beginning. It is reported that the authorities of the Suiz Canul have the employ ment of anyone who worked for or assisted the British troops Consequently many aro thrown out of employment. Crcmedi Sons As Co., London morchants,' failed on October sth for £120,000. 'Ihe Rational Conference of Minors have decided th»t there was not sufficient un animity to admit of a national strike, but, as an alternative, the eight-boar day system would be genorally adopted. Mr Dilon replies to the Liverpool land League that nothing but ill-health could have caused him to quit politic?. Flannigan and wife, suapocted of being concerned in tho murder of Lord Mount morris at Clonbur, county Galw»y, on Septombor Bth, wero arrested at Con&, in tho county named, on October sth. Thomas Bollan & Co., cotton tpinncrs of Blaokbnrn, failed on October Gtb, for £33,000. , _ . Charles Chabot, the well-known London expert in caligraphy, died on October 17th. Despatobes irom London, October Bth, say tbe comet ia all the talk of scientific circles at prceenr. It is being regarded with considerabla apptebeoslon^ hicbard A. Proctor, who denied tbat it was the comet of 1843 and 1880, now finds that he made a mistake in his calbulaiioni, and so has withdrawn hi* statement. Moio cautious astronomers than he have no doubt of tho identity of the comet, and believe that it will return at thn late»t ia October, 1883, and will then fall into the sun, with results that will dispense with tho future publication of tho nowspipors of tho world. It U said this is the opinion of tho most eminent scionlisls of tho d»y, C. Piazzi Smith, the e'ever Astronomer Koyal of Scotland, In patticu'ar, having made no seciet of his bolief that the end of tho world is at hand. Mr Morloy"s rotircraont from the " Fort nightly Review," reported October Bih elicits regret from tho nwt opposite quar ters. Tho " Spectator " says he introduced seiioua thought Into tho magazine. Tho "Saturday JKoviow" laments »ho with drawal of an eloquent, virtuous, and strictly honourable editor. Ilenry George, correspondent, of the "Irish World" (New York)...in Ireland, where bo was arrested and detained some thirteen hours as a surjooct, kas written a letter to President Arthur, in which ho potes as an AmericQinmaitjr. It baa created laughtor inJLtufarts'ticlea. ln-^Lfeiand the closing of tho Laod league ia America is regarded as a victory for Gladstone's Land Act; agitation ia Ireland will ccaao to be formidable the moment American supplies are cut off. Tho' returns issued by tho Hoard of Trade, October"Stb, show that during Sep tember British imports decreased, as com pared with that month of lust year,£ss;ooo, while tho exports increased £22 000. John Bright has beoa sharply attacked by leading Radical journals for declaring tbe Egyptian war to nave been unjnst and un necessary. It is even said tbat at the next election ho will lose his [scat for Birming ham, jmt as he lost his scat for Manchester at the time of the Crimean war. It is rumoured he "will retire from puolic life at the end of the year. Baker's flour mill, Bristol, was destroyed by fire on the Bth instant. Lojs, £50,000. Tho West Concert Hall, Brighton, Eng land, was burned on the 9th instant. Loss: £43,000. Tempting oilers hive been mado to Mat thew Arnold to engage in a lecture tour through tho United States. Ho hesitates, because be doubts whether he has enough to interest the lago and miscellaneous audiences which would there great him. Ingestre Hall, seat of the i£arl of Shrews bury, wa« burned on October 12. The loss is put at £500,000, The prospectus of the Irish Banking Company has been circulated, the proposed eapit il being £1,000.000. Jho n«w steamer Belgium, of 4000 tons burtnen,built at Aberdeen for the American trade, was totally wrecked on October 12tb, on her trial trip. Tenders for £2,000,000 worth of Indian four per cent debsntu'cs wero opened at tho liink of England on the 10th of October. Tho loan was csvered twice at about a, par.

Ualbraith's spinning mills at G'asgow wore burned en the 14th cxtober. Log?, £50,000. A commercial traveller named Brooks was committed for trial in the Bows'reet Police Court, on the 14th_ instant, fir threatening to murder the Prince of Wales unless he received money irotn him, The threat wast contained in a letter to Co], Teasdalo, tho Prince's equerry, he prisoner is considered a crank. He claimed to have nerved several years in the United States army. Tbc Convention at Mhenry, Galway, on the 13th of October, adopted resolutions declaring the right of the country to national independence, accepting the principle ot the land for the people, ap proving the system of peasant proprietary, and tho amendment of the Bright Clauses of the Lmt;l Act., Resolu tions were also passed declaring tiie prevalcnea of grass farming! of the land as tending to paralyze industry and incicase pauperism. The Convention further resolved to prevent hunting until the extra police drafted on the country were dis pensed with.

The minera of Lancashire, Berkshire, Derbyshire, and North Wales are to gve notice of a demand for aa advance of 15 per cent, in their wages. Irish farmers and peasantry assembled at Curraghmore, on the 12th inst., and forcibly put a stop to the hunt. By a despatch, dated October 13th, it appears that tba committee under General Sir Archibald Alison, appointed to rfport on tbe Channel Tunnel, considers that the exit of.the tunnel should' he commanded by a fortress of tho lirst class ; that the tuuncl ehould be provided with a port-cullis, and with au arrangement for filling it for a suf ficient space with Irrespirable gas, and that measures should be taken for the demolish

ineei the land portion, forth) temporary flooding of the main tuonel, and also for ita total destruction by a mine. These artan sements should be controlled by separate parties, boih inside and outside the com manding fortress. But when all this is done the committee admit that it would be presumptuous to place absolute reliance upon even the most comprehensive arrange- , ments. Memoranda from Sir Garnet | Wolseley and the Duke of Cambridge are appended to the report, condemning the pro posed tunnel in even stronger terms. Ine •'Times" coouders that this report has settled the question of a Channel Tuuntl adversely, fur a long time to come. Bradlaugh has i sued another address to the English people. He says, "In this Parliament I will sit." But he does not say how he means to do it. Xhe statement is again made that as Eoon as the Marquis of Lome's term expues, Sir John McDonald will be raised to the peer age and created Governor.^ eDeral of the Dominion. ~ There was a hu:ricane in Ireland on the Ist October, and at Cork more damage was done on land thau by any atorm for 20 yeara past.
