ALARMING STATE OF THE EX CHKQ'IjBB. (Keceived April 5, 2-30 p.m )

MELBOCJKjnE, this day.

An interim finance account has been issued by Mr Service, as Colonial Treasurer. He estimates the revenue for the current year at £5,800,000, and the oxpendiiure by votes at £3,900,000, 1 exclusive of additional estimates to the amount of £434,000. The result will be to reduce Sir Bryan O'Loghlen's estimated balance to £37,000, the | account shows that £2,000,000 will be required to meet the deficiency for railway expenditure in excess of estimate. Mr Service, in presenting the account to tho Assembly last ni^ht, stated that the revenue was coming in satisfactorily, last loan will realise £3,920,000, whereof £1,800,000 will be required for redemp tion of other loans; but only £995,000 will be available for services this year. Nevertheless, their obligations amounted] to £1,550,000, of which amount oue million was required for railways. Mr Service declared that the treasury accounts afc in a singular state of confusion, and that the colony would experience the greatest difficulty in paying its way. He added that he ia at his wit's end to meet the engagements of the Treasury.

PRESBYTERIAL CON FERENCE.

A CONFERENCE in onnection with the Auckland Presbytery was held last evening in St. James's Hall. The attendance was much smaller than was anticipated,—Rtv. R. F. Macnicol presided, and the other miuiitera present were Revs. Sommcrville, Mucky, Monro, Thompson, Sutherland, and Norrie. —The Rev. T. Norrio road an exhaustive paper on " The importaucs of seeking to interest parents in the religious training of their children, and the best means to he used for securing this object.'1 —The rev. gentleman contended that it was the duty of tbe parents to lay the basis of all religious education in the minds of their childien. Home training was by far the more important, and Sunday-school instruction should be instru mental mainly in supplying the deficiencies in that system. The speaker rcfened to the neglect by many parents of their very important duties in connection with the education of the young, the Sabbath-school ia too many instauces being entirely depended upon.— Key. a. Thompson, who was tbe next speaker, dwelt on the import ance ot maternal instruction of children in Bible truths. He gave the meetiog the benefit of experience in connection with school work, which he had gained during three years' mission work in Kdinburgh, and pointed out the absolute necessity fc r sympathy baiween teachers and parents.— Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, which concluded with a vote of thanks to Mr Notrie. St. James's Church choir was present, and took part in tho pro ceedings, Mr W. J. Rees conducting, and accompanying on tbe harmonium.

OVERDUE SCHOONER.

Fears are now entertained for tho safety of tho schooner Clarinda, which left Groymouth for this port on March Sth, coal laden, bound for the Manukau, and has not since been heard of. Twenty weight days is a rema<kably long pas sage, and it is most likely the vessel has met with some mishap, posßlbly dismasted during a recent quail.

A year-old tragedy has just come to light in Otago. About twelve month* ago two men camped in an old hut, situated on the side of Mount Cargill, and between miri» night and daylight there wa3 a landslip, which covered the hut, and the two men weie believed to have been buried alive The police intend at once to make enquiries.
