BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The weekly meeting of the abovo body was held this afternoon, there boing present: Messrs It. Hobbs (Chairman), W. F. Buck land, S. Luke, Thoo. Cooper, and D. Ooldio.

Chairman's Report.—This roport stated inter alia that following teachers, having qualified to teach elementary drawing, were exempt from attendance at drawing classes s —Mr E. Richards, Mrs Caldwell, Misses B. C. Anderson, E, Burton, J, H. E J. Holder, H. A. Hassack, A. G, Jerram, H E. Longdill, P. Nicholson, A. Pascoe, C J. Pearson, E. Stewart, H. W. Thomp son, and M. S. Walker.—The Auckland School Committee had been asked to send requisition for Venetian blinds at Wellesley street School.—Mr W. H. Worsley, pupil teacher, had been attached to the Paku ranea School until the end of the year. Elementary Science.— Mr S. Luke gave in the following notico of motion :—"lhat as the teaching of elemontary science in our primary schools is of the utmost import ance, and as this Board is of opinion that in the prosent course of public instruction not enough attention is given to the sub ject, the Inspector is therefore requested to report to the Board as soon as possible as to what he may consider the best means of giving a greater amount of scientific in struction, especially to those pupils who have passed the fourth and fifth standards. Admission to City Schools. —Mr Cooper moved, in accordance with notice :—That the Committee for the Auckland City School District bo requested to notify that from and after the expiration of the present year no children residing .outsido the city school di3trlot oan be admitted into the city schools, and that those children now attsnding the said city schools must, from and after the expiration of the prosent year, be excluded from further attendance, it appearing that their atten dance has heretofore resulted in the ex clusion from the said schools of children residing within the school district. Ho said that the intention of the Legisla ture in passing the Education Act was that the children of each district should attend the school established within its limits, and in consequence of this intention not being carried into prac tice, some of the schools were over crowded, while .others were insufficiently attended. From a return recently s.ib mitted to the Board, it hod been shewn that the following numbers of children residing ontside the city limits attended the c% schools, viz. Wellesley.-street, 163; Boresford-streeJ, 265; Nelson-street, 2b; while 210 children attended the Newton East School who resfded outsido the Newton Schoo\ District. Of the 163 children attending the Wellesley street school, who resided outside the district, 24 came from Ponsonby, 29 from Parnell 28 from Grafton, 11 from Newlou, 11 from Mount Eden, and 10 from the North Shore, and as there was abundant room at tho Grafton and farneU schools for more children, the children from those districts attending Wollesley-streot should b.e obliged to attend their proper schools. If tins rule were carr af out, the Wellesley - street School would bo relieved and made Pinnate for the requirements of thWtotrict A different rule would have to apply-to the Bevesford-street, for the overloV there came from Ponsonby. where thOTB was l>o spa*" accommodation Con sequently' «> additional school was renmied at Ponsonby. -^ M* Luke nnnosed the resolution, and in doing soTconnnended the letter of Mr Schmidt published In last mgbt* Stae, He moved^as an amendment-" That when ever it Is shown that the average attend ance at any sohooi is jn excess, of the aocommoaation of the school bsu ding, tto Committee of such school district shall then be requested to notify until such time, 2 sufficient woommodatlon «» P™^ No children residing outsido the district can be admitted to tliat particular school. tho question was adjourned for legal opinion.

T!KE SOUDAN REBELLION,

Five Thousand Soldiers Killed.

(Received November 23, 2.20 p.m.)

Alexandria, November 22,

The force under Hicks Pasha, when the campaign against the Soudan rebels opened some time back, consisting of 8600 infantry, 1400 cavalry, and 4 batteries of artillery. It is not definitely known how many men were directly operating against the enemy prior to the recent defeat, but it is suppofed that fully five thousand were actually engaged in the battle, which re sulted in the total annihilation of General Hicks's force.

MEETINGS OF CREDITORS.

Final meetings of the creditors of Augustus William Burnett, carrier, of Norman's Hill, Onohunga, and of James and Leslie Moir, contractors, of Mangawai, were to have been held to-day, but in each case lapsed for want of a quorum. The debtors will therefore have to apply to the Court under the 184 th section of the Act for their dis charge. Mr Thos. Macffarlane (the trustee) has hied the following reports :—

Augustus William Burnett.—"The debtor was a carrier residing at Onehunga. He states that there was so much competi tion on the road that his business did not piy, and he gradually got into debt. He had sickness in his family, and tho death of one of his children added further to his ex penses. A creditor having obtained judg ment against him, forced him to iilo his schedule to prevent execution being put in his house. His liabilities are stated at 1129 ss, and his assets (nominal) at £40. These I have realised and paid a dividend of 4s Cd in the £. lam not aware of any thing to prevent the debtor getting his dis charge." James and Leslie Moir.—"The debtors were bush contractors at Mangawai, and were doing well enough until, by heavy Hoods, their works at which they carried on their trade were completely destroyed, rondering them unable to carry on. Im mediately after this they were sued by one of their creditors, and, seeing no possibility of paying anyone, they were compelled to sock tho protection of tho Court. Their liabilities arc £135 17s sd, and their assets nil. This looks like a case of sheer misfor tune, and I see no reason for denying their discharge."

The Temperance v. Eight Hours Demonstration.

(To tho Editor.)

Sik,—l have no wish to prolong ad in finititin this wranglo about tho 2Uth Janu ary, but should feel obliged if you would allow a few words in reply to thnt peculiar epistle of your correspondent, " W. J. Mac dermott." "W. J. M." is careful to givo you only part of tho conversation which oc curred botweon us on tho morning after they had Bottled upon Regatta Day for their Demonstration. *1 expressed my surprise at tho selection, on account of the Eight Hours Demonstration having that day, wbqn lie at once said it had been entirely forgotten. Ho then said '■ You have not selected that day for tho coming Demonstrationf" I said "Of courso it had not been finally settled, be cause tho Committee had not met, but tho decision of tho last Coinmittpe was that no day suited us and Q«r employes so well, and it was then decided that RW Demon stration would in futuro bo hold on that day," which is borne out in Mr Middleton's letter in your yesterday's impression. Tho statement tb'afc tho delegates "attended the meeting" and found only thrco persons present Is an absoluto falsehood, as I met tho deputation on tho first landing at the Working Men's Club, and told, with no other person being presont, that there would bo no meeting, We wore standing at the reading-room door, and tho delegatos may have thought it was the committee-room and tho readers committeemen j but the fact is we did have a meeting, at which six trades were represented. "W.J.M.'s" solicitation for the watermen is amusing, as the peculiar circumstane'es surrounding their calling renders it impossible for them to give tho least consideration to the Eight Hours move ment. I would merely reiterato to " W.J.M." that one would suppose the 29th was tho only holiday. I certainly was in error in stating that the ground had been secured, but the interview had with Mr Mumford by Mr Heslop led him to believe that it was secured, as Mr Heslop offered part or all of the money, when Mr Mumford said it was not necessary, as ho would not let anyone else have it without previously consulting him. I shall not trouble you farther, Mr Editor, about tho matter, as I am quite willing to leave the decision of who has the greatest right to the day to that public who afforded the Eight Hours Demonstration such generous support last year, and for whose. 0 amusement wo so successfully catered,—l am, etc,, .""

A chapter from the secret history of so called "gift distribution" companies has just been disclosed in the R.M. jCourt in the case of Petersen v. Willis and Pickersgill. Pursuer is an upholsterer, and he sued the defendants, proprietors of the "Mammoth Pantascope," for £l 5 15s, being hirp of two suites of furniture, two tables, a statue, a lamp, &c, with conimis sion on tho transaction. Mp Petersen's statement was tjiat three suites pf furniturp and other articles werp delivered by him on conditional sale, hire being charged for them until they were "given away" by defendants at their entertainment. Two of the suites were worth £5 ss, but one of superior quality was kept for show on the stage, and was worth £10 10s. One suite at five guineas was given away and paid for; a second was announced to be given away, but payment was re fused by one of the defendants, who hotly asserted tliat" These Auckland b hadr't rtvtronised their show, and they were not going to part with their last penny." Pursuer thereupon selzpcl the articles. He stated that Mr Pickersgill afterwards waitod pn him to arrange for the loan of a suite for a few days, aa he wanted to '' give it away " to a friend of his in the dress circle; but pursuer declined to beaportytothus"gullingthepublic," gucb is pursuer's story; but the facts were categorically denied by the defendants, After hearing Mr Tolo for plaintiff, and Mr S, Hesketh for defendants, His Honor deferred judgment till to-morrow morning.
