Yesterday Afternoon. The Synod met at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the Bishop's Library. His Lordship as President being in the chair. Present:—Yen. Archdeacons Clarke, Dudley, Mnunsell, Pritt, Willis; Revs. F. T. Baker, Biggs, Calder, Cokayne- Frith, J. K. Davis, Farley, Gould, Gnlliver, Haselden, Hill, Macfarlane, Nelson, Phil lips, Purchas, Smallfield.Tebbs, Wal pole. Laity : Messrs Batgor, Boardman, Cameron, Clayton, Cochrane, Crisp, Daw son, Doonin, Evans, Goldsbro', Green, Hamilton, Hammond, Haultain, Heath, Heather, Hills, Hughes, Ireland, Jackson, Kirkbridc, Kissling, Larkins, Lusk, Mao- Millan, Pierce, Rawliugs, Rice, Sawkins, Speight,, Upton, Yickers, Wells, White, Woollams, Worthington. Rei'ohts.—Mr Upton laid on tho table the report of the committee upon the repairs and improvements at Bishop's Court. Home mission Society.—The report of the committee was brought up on the formation of this society. The committee had twice met since the formation of tho society. The society had at present £01 in hand. Vote ol Condolence.—On the motion of Mr F. Larkins, seconded by the Roy. F. T. j Baker, it was agreed :—" That the Synod deeply sympathises with Mrs Breo and Mrs Ashwell in their bereavement and widow hood, and expresses its deep gratitude to God for the services which their lamented husbands rendered to tho Church and colony of New Zealand. St. John's Collegeßepoht.—Theannual report of tho trustees of the above institu tion was submitted. The trustees reported the sub-division and lease by auction of certain lands at Arch Hill. They also sug gested the desirability of selling the Tamaki estate and moving temporarily the College to a position nearer to the city, so that the pupils might enjoy the advantage of the University lectures, for which the Synod had given authority. In furtherance of the proposed change, tho trustees had agreed to purchase from the Church Mis sionary Society the houso and school room at Parnell, previously occupied by Bishop Stuart, the purchase money being t_ 1,200. The trustees having been further authorised by tbe General Synod to sell part of the Tamaki e»tate, with tho approval of the Standing Committee, expected to bo able to pay od the amount very shortly. They hoped that the work of the College would bo commenced in Parnell at tho beginning of the year. —Mr Boardman moved, " That this Synod approves of tho action of the trustees of St. John's College in seeking authority to sella portion of tho estate, and of the" action of the General Synod in granting that author ity, also in tho proposal for removing the institution temporarily to some situation nearer to tho Auckland University College." Ho said the income of the College has been £257, the expenditure £199, including the expenses of the removal bill, leaving in round numbers £58 as remainder. The warden of this College recoived £250 a year and another instructor £100. The trustrees proposed to purchase a piece of land belonging to Bishop Stuart for £1,200, and it was reasonable to hope that the students might be comfortably housed by the end of the year. The trustees had received an order of i' 25,000 for the Tamaki estate. Making a deduction of i' 2,000 for forty acres to bs reserved, that would give an income of £920 for the next three year., £1,150 for the next three years, and for the noxt four years £1,380 n-yoar. That offer was dedlined, as it was thought that £30,0C0 could be obtained for the £1,200 and odd acres of which the estate consisted. An offer of 130,000 had been obtained, with three per cent, for ten years. That would give £900 a year.—Mr McMillan could not agree that it would be desirable to sell the land at £25 an acre wbi'e land at Northcote brought £100 an acre.— Mr S.|E. Hughes agreed with tho disposition to sell.—The Rev. Mr Gulliver (warden of tlio College) said he would not notice many of the statements made by Mr Boardman. Silenco was the best answer that could be mado to them. Mr Boardman had said but little instruction was given. He could afford to despise such statements. It was hard enough to be connected with a pauper institution without any consideration of what ho had to pay out of his own pocket. Ah to tho removal, what was wanted by the students was hard and severe "coach ing," which would fit them in the shortest time for their duties.—After some further discussion it was agreed, upon Mr Batger's motion, to drop the subject for the timo. Tho President bore testimony to the zeal, fidelity, and energy with which Mr Gulliver had performed his duties as warden. Leasing Land.—Mr G. P. Pierce moved that it be an instruction to tho trustees in leasing land at Archhill for 40 years that after the first 20 yeare there should be an advance of 50 per cent, on the rental.— Agreed to. Pabk Road.—Mr S. E. Hughes objected to the trustees of St. John's College propos ing to give land for a road near Mr AtkinV property. Removal of St. John's College.—Mr Larkins moved, "That the Synod approved of the steps taken by the trustees for the removal of the College to a site near tho _ city."—Dr. Purchas seconded the motion,—Agreed to. Evening Sitting. Tho Synod resumed at 7 o'clock. St. John's College.—Mr Wells moved and Archdeacon Willis seconded. "That in tho opinion of this Synod the trustees of St. John's College, should sell only so much of tho Tnmakiestatoasis necessary to give effect to the temporary change authorised by the General Synod."—Mr Lusk discouraged tho project of selling the estato, or at least not more of it than was absolutely necessary, while Colonel Haultain combatted his views, and argued the practical advisa bility of disposing of tho 1,200 acres of the estate, savo 40 acres immediately surround ing tho institution.—Mr Larkins followed in tho same straic.—Mr Speight moved, as an amendment, "In reference to tho sec tion of tho report hooded "Purchase of Parnell" thai, the members of the Synod suggest to the Governors tho desirability of making provision for the purchase of tho property alluded to by moans other than the sale of a portion of the Tamaki estate."—The Roy. Mr Farley seconded the amendment, and spoko in favour of it, as also -did Mr Upton, who cited an array of facts and figures, derived from post experience, in support of the advice to retain the Tamaki estato.—Dr. Purchas supported the action of the trustees.— Archdeacon Dudley spoke in favour of the retention of the property, and read an ox tract of a letter from Mrs Solwyn, depre cating any alienation of it for temporary exigencies.—Mr Heywood Orispe confessed that the reading of this extract had changed his determination to vote for the action of the trustees.—The Rev. Mr Tebbs discoun tenanced tho idea of meddling with endow ments at all, and Mr McMillan, expressing regret that so much sentiment had been imported into the discussion, commended tho action proposed by tho trustees, and then movod tho adjournment of the de bate. This proposition was at once put and negativod.—The Rev. C. M. Nelson endorsed tho views enunciated by Arch deacon Dudloy, and the Roy. F. Gould sup ported tho samo views, while Mossrs Doonin and S. E. Hughes and Archdeacon Clarke defonded tho action of tho trustees. —Mr Spoight's amendment was carried, and on tho call of Col. Haultain, a division was taken, tho result being :—Clergy : Ayes, 16 ; Noes, 7. Laity : Ayes, 25 ; Noes, 11. —Tho Bishop said that although he had the power of veto, and whereas his mind was adverso to tho amendment, still, tho mind of tho Synod had been so clearly ox pressed, that he would not think of exer cising any power that ho had." Stnob in Committee.—The Synod in Committee amended Statute No. 4 by in sorting a clause providing that in tho event of a parishioner removing from one parish to another he shall carry his voting power with him. — Tho second reading passed, and the third reading was fixed for to-day.—Tho Statute was subsequently recommitted, when, upon the motion of the Roy. Mr Tebbs, a verbal amendment of tho interpretation dauso was made.—A motion by Mr Tebbs, to the effect that only a duly instituted incumbent should have power to appoint parish officers, was negatived. STANDING Committee. —Mr Kirkbrido was elected to the Standing Committee, vice Mr Upton resigned. Relief of Sick and Destitute,—Rev. W. Tebbs moved ; (1) The appointment of Select Committee of Synod to consider tho question of relief to sick and destitute, and to roport to this present Synod; (2) that said Committee be the same as that now re porting upon 'occasional services,' and con sist therefore of tlie Yen. Archdeacon Dudley, Revs. Messrs Nelson and Bates, and Messrs Upton, Boardman, Rawlings, and the mover."—Both propositions wero carried. Charitable Aid Society.—Mr McMillan moved, " That, in the opinion of this Synod, it is desirable to form a Charitable Aid Society, and the following be a committee for organisation and management :—The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Auckland, Yen. Archdeacons Pritt, Maun sell and Dudley, Revs. Mr Nelson, Mr Tebbs, Mr I Calder, Mr Walpole, General Go-set, I

Colonel Haultain, Messrs Heath, Kensing. - if ton, Doonin, Upton, A. K. Taylor, Pierce, . ' v Hesketh, and the mover."—After some discussion, Mr McMillan amended his pro, position by moving that a committee be formed to consider the advisability of form. "'.' ing a Charitable Aid Society, and that such committee consist of the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Auckland, Yen Archdeacons Pritt and Dudley, the Rev. Mr Tebbs ''**'*** Colonel Haultain, Mr Pierce, and the Z mover. —Carried.

TE AROHA.

[FKpM OUR OWN" CORRESPONIU-NJ.] Te Aroha, this day. Werahiko,—This claim is situated in tlie southern part of the Waiorongomai gold bearing district, the Premier being at the north end. As showing the extent of theZ*. field, it may be mentioned Jn passing that the distance between these two claims is fully, a mile, the whole of the ground from the one to the other being occupied, and i several of the claims giving promise of er-"|| cellent yields when fairly opened up.^| Under the able superintendence of an ex-lijs perienced manager, the Werahiko ranks as ono of the best claims on tho field. A largsjfflj amount of work has been done in opening up the mine, and with results that must be9B gratifying to the shareholders. In * the 'ig No. 1 level the reef was struck at a dis- | tance of 35 feet from the starting point, and has been driven on about 100 feet, tlio average width of the vein being 3 feet, H The quartz is of that soft kindly nature so much prized by old Thames miners, and it || is the opinion of some that in richness it is <-'. not surpassed by any on the field. From .. this level a winze has been sunk 42 feet, good gold-bearing stone having been got all the way down. To connect with' the winze a drive (No. 2) has been put in, from the floor of .which a shaft has been Stmk,' and to meet this o third level has been * driven 210 feet in conjunction with ..the Waitoki Company. Everything __der ' ground is therefore now in readiness for - working on an extended scale. The quart**,,^ from the upper levels is conveyed by means' I of a shoot 100 feet in length into the hopper, IH a substantial structure standing by the side of the county tramway and capable of hold ing 120 tons. This hopper is the joint property of the Werahiko and Waitoki yk Companies. In the Werahiko end of it there is now stowed some 35 tons of excel- __u lent crushing stuff, in addition to which|H about 70 tons more of similar quality lies "| stacked at tho levels. Waitoki.—The prospects in this claim also are very good. The reef has been foi- I lowed from the Werahiko ground, and is here about 4 feet in thickness. A fair amount of work has been done, and every- A thing is now in readiness for carrying on operations systematically. Stoping hag already been commenced, and gold more or * I less.is seen at each breakingdown of the reef. ;;3 There is now 40 tons of stuff in the hopper, and 60 tons more lies at the levels ready to ■[% be sent down. This claim will bo the first j to forward stuff in quantity to the battery, • and in a very few days it is expected that a commencement in crushing trill be mado with five head of stampers. Eoreka.—Much credit is due to the" Js owners of this claim for tho energetic manner in which- thoy havo carried on work. Situated at a higher altitude by some hundreds of feet than any of the other , leading mines on the field, difficulties have had to De oncountored which only the most | determined persevoranco could overcome, I and it is gratifying to know that there is every probability that the efforts of those concerned in the do- '.. velopment of the ground will meet with a fitting reward. The reef-now in ,: hand is ono of tho best-defined in_ the dis trict, and averages about 5 feet in thick ness. At the point where gold was dis covered in tho outcrop a winze has been sunk, and is now down about 50 feet. A trial lot of two tons taken from this part of ; the reof and crushed at the Thames , yielded at the rate of loz. 11 dwte. per ton, and asmuch of the stone taken out is of simi lar character, there can be little doubt that' 1 the anticipations of those interested in the future of the mino will be fully realised, m To connect with tho before-mentioned *r winze, a level has been put in 120 feet below ._. the outcrop, at which depth the lode is as .* strong and well-defined as on the surface, with gold visible in the stone. A rise is being put up from this level to meet the winze,* but it will be some weeks yet before the two are joined. As soon as this is done, tho manager will bo, in a position to break out largo quantities' of crushing material. Arrangements have *■:,." recently been entered int. with the Battery Company whoreby crushing can at any timo be commenced, and as the construction of a■ ■ ;., branch lino to connect with tho country tramway will shortly bo started, the mine may be expected soon to tako rank as one of the most steady gold-producers on the fields. ■-" r
