Ogg, J- Donll, T. W. Dunn, A. Thomson, B, Allsworth, D. Sidey, P. Mason, W, Douglas, J. Torry. Elder :Mr Biuhanan. INFIRM MINISTSE9' Fund.—The Mode rator submitted the report of the committee of the Aged and Inlirm Ministers' Fund. The report showed that ihe capital of tho fund now was £907 5s 4d, £850 of which was invested on mortgage, tho balance being ia tho hands of tho treasurer. The committee urged the Assembly to take energetic measures to raise a capital fund commensurate with the im portauco oE tho scheme. It suggested that tho fund would he mo o likely to recehc support from the public were rules and regulations adopted binding tho ministers to be contributors to it. The committee lecommeudcd the adoption of tl'erciiulation* of the fund iv connection with the Victorian Ctiuiob, with certain modifications.—ftev. T. Mclicnzie Fraser moved the adop tion of tho repirt, recommending the intertst-i of the fund to the sympathy and liberality of the congregations. Ho spoke strongly in support of the Infirm MiuisteiB1 Fund. The lund in connection with tho Free Church of Scotland amounted to £loo,oooi The fund of the Presbyterian Church of Victoria—which he himself staitol in 1864—amounted to £12,000. Tho churches of Now South Wales and (Jtago had similar funds. If ft ftmd was necessary in tho unendowed churche3 at Home, it was doubly necessary in lha colonies, The establishment of a fund was a simple act of justice to their ministots and a great source of strength to the congregations, Ho admitted that colonial ministers were in a better position than their brethren at liomp, many of whom were in a position of grinding poverty. He, however, asserted that, though colonial miuisterß were better paid, their stipends did nothing more than keep them out of debt. Reference waa mado to tho exhaust ing nature of tho Australasian minister's work ; ago and helplessness came on much sooner than amongst their ministers at home. While they wc-ro still a vigorous and young church, let them cngago in this schema and they would be the first to be bonefitted by it, Ho suggested that each minister should contribute £5 per annum for five spars, which, he snowed, would increase the fund by £1,975. He bespoke for the fund tho sympathy of ministers and con gregations, and asked the Assembly^ to enter into the scheme heartily and enthusias tically.—Mr J. Buchanan seconded tho resolution. Be said it was a matter very nearly connected with the welfare of the Church, The congregations knew that ministers wero not paid well paid ; how to alter it was very difficult in tho colonies, considering the sparsely populated character of many of tho districts, Ho hoped the congregations would enter into tho scheme with heoit and sonl, and commended the mover fpr his very ex cellent Bpeecb,—ln reply to the Key. Mr Dougltt', the Rev. T. McKenzio Fraser said that joining the fund waa not com pulsory ou ministers now belonging to tho church, but would be compuUory on all naw ministers. — Roy. Mr Douglas then spoke in support of the motion.—Tho Ktv. Mr Gillies moved as an amendment, " That the rules beforo being adopted be sent down to Presbyteries." Ho did not agiee with tho Rev. Mr Fraser's reasoning, and he, for one, objected to making ad mis oracordiim nppeals to his cotgre^tion on behalf of the fuud. He, howevor, did not want to throw cold water on the movement. —Kcv. J. Macky spoke in support of ihe motion. —The Key. J). Sidey spoke in terms of p.aise of the Wcsloyan fund, which combined an inlirm ministers' with a widows' and orphans' fund Toe ministers contributed £S per annum to it, from the date of their ordination, and each congre gation was bonnd to contribute £9 annu ally. In this city ono'superannuated Wcs leyan clergyman rceehed £200 and another £190 a ye»r from this fund.—The Bey. T. McKenzio Fraser expressed surpriso at the tone of Mr Gillies' remark re " ini.eucordiam appeals."—The Roy. K. F. Macnicol supg-'sted the circula tion of a circular embodying tho arguments used by Mr T. McK. Fraser. He seconded Ktv. Mr Gillies' amendment on the under standing that during tho year the matter would bo brought under the notice of tho congregations.—The Moderator asked tho AfHcmlily to affirm the principle that it was desirable that ministers should contribute to tho fund. On the suggestion of tho Rev K. F. Macnicol, tbo Kov. W. Gillies agreed to add an ailirmation of that principle to_his amendment, it being understood that ministers thould bespeak for the fun I the sympathy and support of the con gregations.—Tho Key. T. McK. Fraier then agreed to withdraw tho resolution and ac copt tho ttov. Mr Gillies'amendment for bis motion. Tho finding was as follows: "That the Assembly affirm tho principle that ia the administration of this fund, ministers who may be beneficiarcs of the fund must be contributors to it; send down the proposed rules for consideration ot Presbyteries; and further authorise tho committee to take such means as it may find practicable for increasing the capital fund by subscriptions, donations, or other wise." Education.—The cierk called for the report on Edusation.—Tho convener of the committee (Kcv. vV\ Gil.'ies) stated that the committee had nothing to report, and was an unneaeseary body. Ho moved that it be discharged.—This was assented to. Agency Committke.— Tho House went into committee on the report of tho Agency Committee re a letter from the Rev. D. Bruce. The report was to tho efl'oot that Mr Brnoa was to be paid for the first quarter of 1881 if the funds admitted, but as tho balance on hand had been pud over to Mr Bruce thero was no fund,—Key. \V. Gillies said that according to Mr Bruce this balance from 18S0 (£6l 7s Cd) was given for services previously tendered. It was simply as a rectification of account that Mr Bruce raised tho question.—Considerable discussion ensued, and it was eventually decided to refer tho matter back to the com mittee, who will confer with Mr Bruce. Tho Assembly rose at 10.10 p.m.

THE LYELL MURDER.

• Tub following additional particulars are to hand regarding the supposed murder of Dennis Quinlun near the i yell, respecting which wo published the confessions of the accused recently :—The body was very much decomposed, so much so that the re mains had to be placed on planks for re moval, Close examination proved that the head had been severed from the trunk; both were lying in clobo proximily to each other. Tho skull and face wero entiiely devoid of hair, presenting the appearance of having been ecaldcd. There were jithcr marks of violenco about the chest and ribs. Tho body was found beneath an embankment about eight feet In height, with tho Bullcr river running close by. Some scrub had evidently prevented the body from reaching tbo river, that is assuming it was thrown from the top ot toe embankment. It is hardly possible that an accidental fall would have resulted in decapitation and the other appearances mentioned above. We undor- Bland it is the opinion of Dr. Campbell, of Lyell, that even death ia not likely to be cau-^d by such a fall, much less the injuries which are shown, Qululanwat employed in tho United Victory Company's mino at I>'c\v Creek. He was about 38 yeais of age, aDd a native of Tipperaty, Ireland. Some G or 7 months ago he was an inmate of tho Westport Hospital. Ho wai lost seen alive on the night of Sunday, January 128 th, in company with Mrs Uramatica, who, we are informed, lives near the place where the body was found. Aa de ceased worked at such a distance from the township (S miles), it is noft surprising that ho was not missed—his mates would aoubt less tlrnk he was at Lyell, while his friends ia town would faucy lie was away at work, ( and thus there was no suspicion of his fa to 1 until the body was discovered by Patrick Carrol about 4 p.m on the 3rd instant, about 50 yards from the scene of tbo late attempt at tuiddo. Mr Carrol's attention was at tracted by the unbearable stench arising from the body. It was a noticeable fact that horses showed disinclination to pass the place for some time beforo the discovery.

GRAMMAR SCHOOL BOARD OF GOVERNORS.

IHE ordinaiy meeting of the Board was j' hrld yesteidoy afternoon, when there were ) present :—Judge Fenton (in the chair), ' Key. C. M. Ncleon, Col. Haultain, Messrs I Tyler, Clark, Mackcchnie, DorEaville.— A motion hy Mr Tyler that special meet ing! be convened for urgent business only, and that the Board do not meet at an earlier hour than i p.m. was negatived.—Mr Peacock's resolutions •for the setting apart of a portion of the Board's Eunds oach year for iuvestment weic moved by Mr Nelson, hut adjourned till next meeting.—Tho resolutions passed by the Board of education on the sub ject of scholarship regulations were read, aud a lengthy discussion ensued.—Mr Dar jjaville, in tlic course of his remarks, said there appeared to bo too much disposition on tho part of the Board of Governors to regard the qnettion of these scholarships fiom a Urammar-school point of liew B.iloly, and to ignore the interests of the public primary school.', foigort'iDg 1 that the Grammar School itself was a purely public institution, maintained out of tho | ; public estate. —Key.Mr Nelson, who thought the Board of Education might have to ie consider its positi.m, said that while it was the duty of ilig governors to wo.-k in the primary schools, they had at the same time to remember that they had to work up to the University College.—The chairman said that ihe head master had reported that he was hampered in a certain way, and it was their duty to help him out of the difficulty. Boys tent to the school had been in terior to the junior school in tome branches of learning. Mr Darßaville moved, " That tho letter of the Board be acknowledged with thanks, and that the Board he in formed that the Boatd ot Governors are willing, for the present, to accede to their views, and that on some future occasion the latter will be brought up for consideration." This motion was negatived. Mr dark pro posed, " That the receipt of the letter of the Board of Education be acknowledged, and the Board of Governors expre s regret that the Board of Education did not adopt the recommendations of the Governors." Agreed to.—On tb.3 motion of Colonel Haultain, it was resolved that the application should be made to tho University Senata /or dUaffiliation.— Tho Act requiring that either Mr Nelson or Mr Tole should retiro, a ballot was taken, resulting tv the retirement of Mr Tole. The vacancy will be filled by the Senate.— Mr JNelson promised to submit the annual report during the next few weeks, and the secretary was requested to assist,—This concluded tho business.

The commisiionei's valuation for property tax wa^recthed and laid on the table. A circular was received from the Wnimato Council asking for approval and assistance iv obtaining an amendment of the Municipal Corporations Act, for tho purpose of enabling tho borough to rec-ive endowments tv the extent of 100 acres. The application was approved, and it was resolved to solicit the support of Sir G. M. U'Korke.—The Mayor moved " That tenders be called for 500 yards broken blue metal for tho main road, and about 1000 yards of scoria-ash for other streets."- Mr iiundon moved sn amendment;, which was carried, viz., " Tbat tbo £nginetr prepare specifications and conditions for letting the repair and maintenance of the main road in sections for a term."—Mr J.

THE LATE LICENSING ELECTION.

(To the Editor.) Sir, —In Saturday's issue of your morning contcrnpottiry, Mr Newman informs the friends *of temperance that lis had repu. diated the singularly farcical EUfgestion to lorm a committee in the hope ot bringing about a compromise which would insure the closing of hotels at 11 o'clock p.m. '
