REMOVAL OF THE OTAGO BAR.

[BY TJJLKGKAPn.—PEKSS ASSOCIATION.]

WELLINGTON, Wednesday. ] Since his arrival here, Mr Fish, Chairman of the Oia<>o Harbour Boatd, lussubmit'ed lo the Govemmeut the plans for the pro posed works on the Otago bar. These have b3cn reported upon by the Marine Encineer fur th« colony, who expresses himself »s generally favourable to the scheme, and tbe Government also approved of it, but as they deem tbe work one of colooial as well as local importance, they have suggested to Mr Fish the desirability of having the plans referred to Sir John Coode for his opinion before fina' approval. Mr Fish has con evirred in this, and has telegraphed to the Harbour Board, asking it to hold a meet ng and authorise him to forward the pans by the mail leaving here on Saturday.

ST. JOHN'S WESLEYAH CHURCH, PONSONBY.

Tiik annual soiree in connection with the above cause was held last evening ia the lon-cm by Hall. 'I ho gathering at the tea was not quite so numerous as was antici pated, no doubt owing to counter-attrac tions. The following ladies prodded at the tables:-Misdamos Ccoke, Gittos, Jtssop, Kelly, Souater, BlooraQeld, Harris, Herbu, and Buchanan ; and Misses Hutchi son, Joynr, and Shepherd, After tbe tables had been cleared, the public meeting was opened by tbe Rev, T. G, Carr giving out a hymn, after which tbe ' Uev. Mr Guy led a prayer. The chair was occupied by Mr Thomas McMaster, who in a brief but appropriate speech introduced the programme for the evening. The Trust Secretary, Mr John Gitto?, r. ad the following annual report of ■be trustees :— It. was a matter for thank fulness that during tbe year, with two ex ceptions, death had not entered the congre gation, namely, MrsThorne and Mr Totton. I1 he roll of membership had slightly iucreasto. and the number of sittings let ia the church was 230. 'I he co :greg» tion is more than doubln what il was. and tbe t.iu te s hp d that ere long every seat w<>uu be occupied by a devout, oa'nesr, tntTgejw congregation. The Sunday-.•i-.hool w:u in a flourishing con dition. With 247 scholars and 27 teachers The Ban 1 if Hope ciHinu d its weekly meetings with a gooi tiegre- nf tucce-s, ami numbered 331 members. To 'he ttachets and pflic-b?areri of these iuirmtan: branches tit*; ttus'ees oft'ertd iheir be-t thanks, 'I be report iben alluded to ihr Mutual Improvemerit A.-Bouia'i n estab lished by the Hey. H,' R Dewsbury list year. It cout'nued to meet, a want, aurl the present membership wa- 64. The mem bers of the cboir had renderb'l willing se'Viiw duriug the year. Finan cially the y*ar had bo^n a heav.t one. In lost report ccrruihworks ha« not been fini.h d, inciwiiig removal iipiJj refitting of p.rsonane, new ve«try, tVi c'tta, &c,, as well as the;complet;on of the chu en, which has entailud a heavy outlay on per rnapeut improvement?.- The trustees were confident it wa- within the power of the con gregation ia a reasonable time to pay off this incubus. After careful thought the trustees ticcided to accept contributions from any willing to give definite, sums on behalf ot the debt during this year ; it was decided at a meeting of tbe congregation, held two months ago, to raise £l,ouo by taking 50 shares in the Building Societies of Auck t mil. 'Ibis had been so far successful that the trustees bad taken up the requisite > number, although 44 only had been sub scribed for, and they hoped the meeting would seize on the other six. The report concluded with a reference to the departure of tbe late pastor, the Key. H. K. Dcvsbury, and the arrival of tha present pastor, the Bey. T. G. Carr. The balance-sheet showed the total rect ipts, including £449 Is 6d subscriptions; £446 2s 3d bazaar receipts ; sale of old par soDage, £1,009; additional loan, Savings Bank, £980. and overdraft at Bank of Mew Zealand, £289 9a Oil, to be £3,559 15s sd, The expenditure corresponded with the chief items, being £2,05S 12s5d new church account, anil £900 new manse. The assets were set down at £4,011, and tbe liabilities, £2,239, leaving a balance of assets over liabilities of £1,722. The spa eh given b tie Key. J, Guy on " Sociality in the Churcb ' was prac'icil in i s nature, as was also ths address by the Rev. Mr. Hill. If there was a fault at all iv the above atfdresse*, it was that they ap (leurd too much as sermons, and more appro priite for Sabbath efforts. Tbere is the aappv medium, if rprakes could only fall into|i', l-y blending the sol-tun and tbe cheerful tcigethor, leiueaibeiiog that tea meetings require the true soo'al element introduced, to be great successes, The -iiort address of the Bey. W. Kuncim-n was humorous, au4 put the audience iv a happy frame of mind, but was spoilt at tae close by Indignation hurled at the ministers of the Church of England on aocount of their isolation. This lapsus just rpollcd his /address, teeing that Mr Hill, Church of V- ngland minister, had just spoken, and is always a great favourito wherever ho goes. The Key. A. Reid spoke a few words from the floor of the hall, ia response to the chairman's invitation. The choir was in good tune, and Bang sweetly daring the evening. At tbe close a vote of thanks was heartily accorded to the ladies, the choir, and the speakers, and the meeting, dosed with the benediction.

BAPTIST SOIREE.

A soirke in connection wi'h the Wei lesley-street Baptist Church was held at the V.M.C.A. Rooms last evening, After tea the assemblage adjourned to the church, where a public meeting was held. The Rev. T, Spnrgeon, who presided, stated the object of the meeting to be the taking of preliminary steps for the erection of the now tabernacle. In : a humourous speech ho reierred to the exertions made by the ladies at the lute b.iza.ir, and paid that although many had literally slaved at the iate bazaar, they were willing to work "U till wok was completed. Tbo ladies had worked nobly, and intended to commence their sewing meetings afresh, acid keep up an evo> lasting bazaar, so to sp.'at, by disposing ot the goods as they made them up, and carrying the re ceipts to the building fund. He trustid that their new place of worship would b; opened free of debt, and though. Home people might think the idea Quixotic, he believed God would be as good as Hia word to those whoworkedand believed in His promisee. He mentioned that the father churcb, the Metropolitan Tabernacle, wh'ch cost £31,000, had been opened free of debt. As soon as £?|OGO more was subscribed, a start would be made with the building. Papers would be handed round, and they could put down what they thought right towards that object.—Papers' were then handed round amongst the audience, aud, on being collected, it was f,und that the whole amount promised was £845 11s. It was st.ted that a fn>nd of Mr Spurgeon's ia the South had offered £50 if the building was commenced this year. , The treasurer of the cong oga tion, Mr J. Chamber*, then made a state ment of the lectipts and expenditure. £3,250 had been paid for the site at the corner of Upper Queen-stieet and Kara ugahape Koad. la tlrs sum was included the late Mr Sauerbier's legacy of £500, which had been rec.ivod that day, less legacy-duty, £20. There was at present a credit balance ia the bauk of £260, which would be much increased by the fancy goods sale now being held. He had re ceived £5 from a gentleman passing through here from Sydney, and he ex pected help from home. He then inti mated that the building of the tabernacle would cost £7,250. Towards that amount they had the balance already mentioned, the proceeds of the fancy goods sale, the subscriptions promised, and donations known to be coming, and the church and ground in Welleeley-streot. As a lastre tource, they could sell a portion of the

Secretary pro tern,: James Macforlano. 1 Tna New Zealand Iron and Steel Com pany, Limited, is organised to manufacture Bar and Pig Iron and wiro from tho iron sand deposits of the West Coast, by means of the patents ownod by Messrs John Ohambors and G. H. Gardnor. Tho practicability of these patents having been fully proved l)y tho works at prosont in operation at Onehunga, there remain but two points to bo considered—viz., the cost of manu facturing and tho market for tlio product. THE COST. ■ In estimating tho comparative cost of manu facturing iron here and in England there are three Items to bo considered, vu;: labour, goal, and raw material. The raw material Is almost a nominal cost to üb. Tho coal will cost no more horo than In England, for it is.intended to use onlyga9for all neating purposes In the works, which can be; produoed by means of gas generators from Black | or any brown coal at a far lower cost than tho' Bame amount of hoat can bo obtained from burning coal. Labour Is then tho only item which will cost moro horo than in England, and we have to consider what advantage wo possess to counterbalance this greater cost. Theso advantages consist (Ist) in situation, by which wo save 10 per cent, on tho Home cost whioh Is absorbod in commission, insurance, exchango and Intoroat. and outward freight, bs the freight from Auckland or Onehunga to dif ferent places in tlio ColoDy will bo no moro than tho chargoa in England in briuging the Iron from tho mills by rail and oartago and shipping charßos in London; (2nd) in our process, by which wo save cost of fettling (or wrought iron scrap), whioh in puddling from pig has to bo put into tho furnace, and iho cost of making the DiX and tho waste of tho same in puddling. This is a moßt important item in our favour, and would be alone sufficient to countarlwlanco tlio greater coat of labour, for by tho patents under which this Company will work tho samo result Is obtained from Iron sand as Is obtained from pig Iron, thus saving the expense of making tho pig. The ditlorenco in cost i ofreon pig Iron in England, suitablo for making KOOd bar iron, and iron Band at Oaohungu buing fully 33s per ton in our favour. If, thon, wo tako tho amount of saving which wo have by our procoas and situation to counter balance the greater cost of wages in ihls Colony.iwo havo :— Ist —10 per cent on tho Homo cost-cay i,":. 11/ 2nd—Saving in froigtit .. .. .. ... 26/ 3rd-Saving of fettling .. .. .. ~ 8/ Jth— Saving of cost of making tho pi? .. 35/ sth-Saving of manufacturers prollts .. 7/ 81/ Tho total cost of labour In manufacturing pig iron into finished bars in England >s undor 35s per ton; so that if tho cost of labour hero ia even as high as 60s thero remains a lurgo margin of prodc. It ia oßtimated that tho total cost oi tho host finished bar iron at Onehunga will bo un der £6 per ton. THE MARKET. The production of cheap iron opens so large a field or industry that it is impossible to estimate the future of this trade. It ia an undoubted fact that bar Iron can bo mado from iron sand more cheaply than from any other ore. The supply of raw material is unlimited, and New Zealand should become one of tho largest iron producing countries in the world. ' The many branches of manufacture, of which cheap iron is tho prime cssontial, will no doubt spring into lifo now that both iron and coal may bo obtained in New Zealand, nnd with tho supply ti) will the demand inoreaso. Tho amount of Iron imported into Australasia In 18S2 was as follows :— Australia.Now Zealand. Tl. Tons. Tonß. Bar Iron .. .. «,600 0.250 53.750 Fencing Wire .. 40.00J »,600 49,500 Galvanised Iron.. 37,080 8/00 45.080 Pig Iron .. .. 24,500 4,0 0 28 500 Plate Iron.. .. 9,250 1,000 10,250 Wiro Nails .. 6,750 2.750 9.500 Hoop Iron.. .. 3,750 830 4,600 Sheet Iron.. .. 3.500 GOO I 4,103 These figures do not include Tasmania or West Australia. The present cost of South Staffordshire Iron, whioh is universally used in these colonies, is £7 10s, f.0.b., London, costing delivory in New Zealand about £9 10s. which is one. of the lowest prices for many years, owing to tho depression of tho Iron industries in England. Auckland iron at £8, f.0.b., would thus keep out tho imported iron, and lcavo a largo profit to tho manufacture™. It is also proposed to manufacture the iron into a few articles whioh aro largely used, such as fencing standards, fish plates, railway spikes, &c, &c., on which a larger profit can bo made. Fenolngstandards cost In tho South Island about £11 per ton, and aro used to tho extent of over 3000 tons per annum, and in other lines large quantities am be sold at better profits than can be mado on bar iron. Fencing wiro being protected by a duty of fil per ton, and by a largo oust of importing, offers a profitable field of Industry; and it Is proposed to add this lino to tho produots of the Company as soon as tho abovo operations aro at work. Tho slag from tho puddling furnaces, if it con tains a sufficiently nigh porcentago of iron, will bo smelted in an ordinary blast furnace, and run into pig Iron, thus utilising all tho waste products. • Sydney and Melbourne will tako' a largo quantity of iron from us, as low freights aro easily obtained to thoso colonlea. It is oxpected that New Zealand iron can bo sent Ito England and the United States at very profitable pricoß, as the iron mado from sand in the United, States by this procca i is found to be ot so superior a quality for making high-priced stcol that the whole of It is con sumed by that branch of industry, and tho frico paid would yield tin a largo profit, ndia, Ch na, Japan, and San Francisco opon fields for exportation, which we may shortly hope to compete for, as our location is most favourable for thsm as a basis of supplies,' and ut certain seasons of tho year freight can bp bad tho*work°3ra's°{fio fcqufrementsof thotrado'Vnay Qomßnd7i3 provided for in tho 28,000 unallotted nharos Thoso Bharos. whon allotted, will bo offered to thn owcttholders at par in proportion "i fie snares held. This Company will tako over tho ooncoasions obtained by Messrs Chambers and Gardner, consisting of 1000 acres of land, and four miles of foreshore on tho North Head and two miles ot foreshore on the South Head of Manukau Harbour, and three miles of foreshore at Ton^ naki, which will Bupply all tho iron eand noces sary for manyl years to come. No other placo on the west coast Offers suoh facilities for ohoap coal and ready transportation of the finished product as Onehunga; an, from its location we can ship from cither tho East or West Coaste, and from the North Hoad the sand cau bo put into barges at any state of the tide or weather, without going outside the Heads, an I brought to our Own wharf. Thoso considerations make thoso concessions particularly valuable, while the loase atTara naki will be available for the manufacture of oharcoal iron, as a good quality of charcoal can be obtained in that district at a reasonable price. The New Zealand Government has offered a bonus of £1,000 for the first 200 tons of wrought Iron blooms,acd an additional £1,000 for the first 200 tons of pig iron, manufactured from iron sand, which this Company will secure. " "The patents owned by' Messrs Chambors and Gardnor are 90 easontlal to tho manufacture of -ironbytbodireot process, that it is impossible) to manufacture iron from iron sand in payable quantities without them, thus securing to tho Company a virtual monopoly. Of the flrat allotment of shares, Messrs Cham bers and Gardner will receive for their Now Zealand patents 3,000 shares paid-up to ftl.iand in future allotments of i-hares up to 40,000 in all 125 per cent, of such allotments paid up to Si. 0,000 shares are at present offered to the public payable as follows :-los On application, 10s on allotment, and 20s at intervals of 3, 6, and 9 months, the remaining 20s at an interval of not less than three months after the lost call but it is not anticipated that" It will be necessary to call up more than £4 per share. In vlow of the many advantages we possess— a large and conatantly growing market at our doors, and separated by so many miles from its present base of supplies, a praotfoally unlimited supply of iron sand, suitable coal at a low price close at hand, and the cheapness of our working —we have no hesitation in offering the shares of this Company as one of the safest and moßt profitable investments which has ovor boon b&fwotbe public,: < , MHO AH TOOI'}*]
