WESLEY AN DISTRICT MEETING.

The annual district mooting of the Wes leyan Church was resumed yesterday in the lower school-room, Pitt-street. The fore noon sitting was almost exclusively occu pied with the question of ministerial character. At the afternoon session the following applications for loans from the Church Building and Loan Fund wore recommended :—Waiuku and Pukokohe, for parsonage, £300 ; Hamilton, parsonage, £250 ; Paparoa, parsonage, £200 : Whan garei, for Kamo Church, £150; Wairoa, parsonage, £200 ; Upper Thames, Paeroa, £150. The reports of the principal find of tho classical tutor of Wesley College wore read by the Rev. G. W. J. Sponce. On the motion of Mr F. A .White seconded by the Rev. \V. C. Oliver, it wag resolved, "That in the opinion of this meeting it is desirable that ono or more fit and proper persons bo appointed to visit circuits as evangelists, who shall labour under tho direction of tho chairmen of districts." A resolu tion was moved affirming tho desira bility of leaving out any limit to the ministerial term of residence in a circuit in the proposed model deed, which was car ried. A further motion was carried to the sffcot that Conference be recommended to make tho limit three years, as at present. The result of this would be that the power of determining the term if a minister's stay in the ■ circuit would be transferred from the Supreme Court af New Zealand to the Methodist Conference. This closed the business of the Financial District Meeting. The closing session was held this morning. The chair was occupied by Rev. A. Reid. The meeting %vas principally occupied by a general conversation on the work of God in the district. The work during tho year was considered most satisfactory, and called for gratitude. The obituary notice of the late Roy. J. Warren, prepared by the Revs. J. Wallis and W. C. Oliver, was read and ap proved prior to its being placod on tho minuter The usual reading of the Liverpool minutes took place. Permission Mas given to the following to attend Conferenco, viz. :— Chairman, Roy. A. Reid, ox officio ; representative, Rev. H. Bull; ministers having permission to attend, Revs. Oliver, G. Bond, Hammond, and Spence; candi dates for ordination and probationers, Revs. Brooke, Dukes, and Griffin. The journal was read at 3 p.m., and the usual vote of thanks accorded.

CORRESPONDENCE.

+ • Railway Reform. (To the Editor.) Sin,—ln your loader of the 23rd you say that the tariff proposed by me crcatcsno expectation that three fares under this proposed reduced scale would be tuken for one that is taken now. The simple question is this: How often would a man go to, say Manuruwa, for 8d instead of la lid, to Pukokoho for is id instead of 3s 9d, or to Hamilton for Is Sd instead of iUe Cd ? These reductions should offer sufficient inducement to trare!. You then state that the proposed reductions on short dis tance fares "are-ao trifling as to be virtually immaterial." It is difficult to see how you could pen this paragraph with the comparative table before you. Green Lane is but four niileß out, and it is proposed to reduce the first-class faro from Is to lid, and second-class from 9d to Jd. Klngsland is five miles out, and the reductions, first-class, from Is to Cd; second, from 3d to Id. Manurewa is 15 miles out. and the reduction, first, from 2a lOd to Is; second, from Is lid to Sd. Hendorsou Is 14 uiileß out, and the reductions, llrst. from L's 8d to Is; second, from Is 'Jd to Bd. Surely these are short distances, and tho reductions more than "trilling." You have stated that my scheme in devised solely in tho Interests of the largo land-owners. Are not these reductions in the interest of the small producer, and the labouring and artizan classes. My great quarrel with the present system is that it provides for the wealthier classes and large producers only, and for that reason it can not pay the country cither directly or indirectly. You next quote figures to show that nearly all railway tickets are issued at the city and suburban stations. Exactly so; that is just one of the greatest blots in the present system which I seek to remove. If anyone could travel as I propose from Pukokohe to Hamilton, or to any o£ the intermediate stations for Gd llrstclass, or iil second, it is easy to sec that a trado must spring up botween these stul ions, and tho tickets would no longer bo issued from city and suburban stations only. As 1 have before stated, one of the chief reasons why our railways do not pay is that ihQ distant portions Qf the lines earn mm to nothing. The old argument about tho English rails has been replied to before.—l am, &c, Samuel Vaile. Xovembor 21th, ISS3, (In hia paper read before tho Auokland Insti tute Mr Vnile said: "Seeing that the chief increase must bcinjirst-cluss and long-distance farcs,l should expect the average to reach Is 3d per head." We coincided that the long-distance lares were those hia tariff specially aimed at fostering, but our correspondent now objects apparently to a position which was entirely of his own choosing. In changing front, however, Mr Vuilo should have stated fairly Ins scale of short-distance fares instead of selecting a few minor stations which seem to lend colour to his altered position. To Newmarket the present fare is 6(1 first. Id second; Mr Vailc's tariff is I lie same. To Konvuera, present tariff, 7d and od ;Mr Vailo's tariff. Ud and Id. To Avondale. present tariff, lsandSd; Mr Vailc's tarifr, lsand Sd.Otahuhu,pi'esenttarifl',lsCdandls;MrVaile's, lsandSd.Theregular trafllc on suburban lines is, moreover, provided for by season tickets. To any of the stations named by Mr Vailo, a twelve months' season ticket, computed as useable twice on 130 days in the year, could be obtained at no higher rate than tho proposed reduced fare. Tako a resident at Kingsland, for oxiunple. coining into town evory day—a twelve month's season ticket, at present rates, would enable him to travel backwards a.nd for wards on thrco hundred days in the year for 3d first-class, and 2jd second; Mr Vaile's tariff is Cd and Id. Therefore, we re peat that vory little aid oould bo expected from the suburban, which we regard as forming the hulk of the Bhort-cUflUmoo faros, towards tho average of lsSd per ticket and quadruple traffic, which Mr Vaile advances as tho expectant re sult of his scheme. Now for tho question of proportionate reduction, which essentially in volves that of special advantages to largo land-owners. Mr Vailo Q,fferß the settlers of Otalnihu a reduction from lsGd and Is to Is and Sd—a reduction of 50 per cent; ho offors the lnud-owncrri at To Awamwtu a. reduction from 18s lid and I2a 6d to 3a and 2s—a reduction of (iOO per cent, Wo do not say that this inolhciil of using Government railways to place tho choup country lands almost on a level with tho costly suburban lands might not bo defensible if thore was substantial evidonce that tho transaction would bo financially profitable, though, as wo have said before, tho land-owner would immediately appropriate the profit by raising tho capital value ol his land. But until Mr Vailo submits a more business-like balance-shoot, wo need hardly occupy space in discussing further the abstract issues. Already wo learn from a Wellington telogram that the lato Minister of Public Works is accused of re ducing certain classes of freight to a non-pay ing rate, nnd tho now Minister has tho dis agreable duty of raising tho scalo. It is tho cx istoneo of such an unprofitablo minimum, that Mr Vaile seems most resolutely determined to ignore or dismiss with vagu.o general Btate ments.—Ed, E.S.|

The Domain Board and Bowling Club.

(To the Editor.) Sir,—l read in this morning's "Herald" the statement of accounts submitted to tho Tennis and Bowling Club at a meeting on their ground at tho foot of tho Domain on Saturday last. 1 saw no item for rent. Is it possiblo"that the Domain Board, who constantly complain of their impocuniosity, are allowing this valuable en dqwmont to bo ocoupiod by a private Bocioty without payment of any rent? Can you refer mo to tho Act of tho Assombly under which this land became the property of tho Board! There must bo something capable of explana tion about the aft'air.—Yours, &c, A Citizen,

The Purchase of Edgcumbe's Estate.

(To the Editor.) Sir,—lt having boon freely stated in tho City Council at their last mooting that I have made an attempt to blackmail thorn (which I find by consulting my dictionary) means '"attempting to extort money from a person or body by means of threats"), I ask you in fairness to myself and company to give mo a ohanco of refuting such a charge by Riving publicity to this letter. I think Councillor Maselleld had no right to prosamo that tho land at the Wostorn Springs was purchased solely to sell to tho Council, and his statemont that tho property was bought for fill,ooo,and £17,000 was being exacted.is without foundation. His own valuation is £100 per acre, but ho fails to montion the hotel and cottages which aro fully worth £3,000. Councillor Thomp son next said that to keep tho boundary creek pure they would require a largo tract of clay land oxtonding to tho Asylum. It would bo advisablo for him to keep a respectable distance from that institution, as the following will prove: viz.. that as a great portion of tho water (lowing into the boundary crock comes from Kdgcumbo's land and is lost—this crook being tho lowest portion of tho property—it is cvidont that keep ing the crcok puro has nothing whatever to do with tho water supply. Ho is also vastly out in his reckoning about the creek being polluted by any company, when a legal viow of tho matter is taken. He also further states that the price asked for the property is excessive, and is an attempt to milk the Corporation; and although ho says tho question had caused him a deal of anxioty, ho has ovidontly not taken the trouble to road the correspondence. Councillor Mon tague then asserts that £18,000 or £20,000 could be bettor spent than In buying this land, and tho prloe demanded looked very much like levying blackmail on tho Council. This is not the remark I should have expected from a sharp business man who had given the matter his consideration and read tho letters on the Bubjeot Our worthy Mayor-oleet must have enjoyed tho "scorning" anxioty of some of his follow-Councillors ; lionco his romark that ho was sure that ovory Councillor, if they only took the trouble to read tho letters which had passed on tho matter before them, would bo surprised iit what they had been talking about. No 3cvcntoen, oighteen, or twenty thousand pounds lias been asked for tho property. Tho proof of tho pudding is in tho eating, and let any of. the aforementioned Councillors ask me if "I am a purchaser of an iron boiler, a hali-cUcst of tea or a rocking horse? and soe if I will so far for get myself as to call them blackmailers.—l am stc., Francis Thos. Paten, Edon Terrace, November 20,1883. »

To the Editor : Sir, —Permit me through your valuable columns to put the young women of Auckland on their guard. I, on leaving a lady friend on the 24th mat. after seeing her hohie, saw a man run after her. My suspicions were aroused, and I went to. see the cause, when, to my surprise, I saw them both coming towards me. Thinking it was a gentleman she knew, I was about to

go home, when I heard them talking rather unpleasantly, so I went up to them to see • what was the matter, and while sue was ex plaining the circumstance to me the man made olf. Feeling much annoyed at what he had said to her, I followed him, and dis covered him behind a tree. I went to him and asked him what he meant by j such conduct, when he said Detec- _ five Hughes and ho had been watching . us for some time, and was determined - to put a stop to our game. Knowing that \ we were perfectly innocent of what he had . mentioned, I requested him to fetch Detec- - tive Hughes, who, ho said, was waiting up • the street. He would not, but I persisted, ; and he went off to fetcli him, but, of course, '. did not return. Now, sir, was lie working : with Detective Hughes, ov was he trying-to ■ extort? lam very much inclined to think ; tho latter, as I know of a similar case ; and '. by the description he is evidently the same : man, and it is time his game was put a stop ; to.—Tours. &c, J. & M.
