Ah illogical, not to tav silly, resolution has been come to by the Mewton East School Committee with refeien.ee to the lot of books presented to the library of the school by the Scripture Gilt Association. We ormerly referred to this subject, and showed that the presence of religious books in school libraries was very much to be desired, especially as the religions tuitioi of our youth, is only permissive, and not obligatory, under onr educational system. The granting of this permission, rightly enough, resit with the respective School Committees, and therefore the Newton East Committee has kept strictly within its legal powers in expelling these religious books as if they were unclean tbines. But if they were performing a good action, it was quite unoecofsary to give a bad reason for so doing. We are i old that the committee considered the twelve books presented by the Scripture Gift Association, and found that four of them contained sectarian teaching. "1 he committee did not see their way to accept books for a secular public school library con* taining sectarian teaching in favour of one branch of the Christian Church without ex tending the same privileges to the other sections of the church, and they resolved to return the whole of tbe books to the asso ciation with thanks." We will assume that the committee are' competent judges of what constitutes sectarian teacbiog, and will proceed to enquire into the soundness of their position otherwise. And it will be observed that because four of the number are found to contain stctanaa teaching—according to the learned judg ment of these - wise men of the E»st the whole twelve must be declined 1 Supposing that the committee object' to sectarian teaching, there was gocd ground for reject ing one-tbird of the books ; bat unless they object to all religious tuition whatever, they wore Lound to have retained the ether two thirds. If they object to all or any form of religion being taught, they should have the moral courage to say so. Then they return the books to the association with thanks, 1 hanks for what? it may be asked, Surely the " snub " direct would have been preferable to a hypocritical expression of thinks fora gift freely made but so badly appreciated. As we said at the outset, the educational and theological pundits of Newton East ara quite entitled to prohibit the use of the tchool for religious purposes. If the residents of that district with their children to be deprived of educa tional advantages contemplated by the State, snd provided by local philanthropic effort, they have evidently got a committee in power which is carrying out their wishes to the letter. We fancy, however, that the bulk of the Christian people in the locality will dissent altogether from the committee's action, and when election time comes round will make a point of re turning members who will not carry their seculariatic ideas to the extreme of forbid ding the children at State schools an oppor tun!tyofßrofitingbypure,healtbiuVeligluus literature suited to their capacities. We have repeatedly urged on onr clergy to take advantage of the liberty given them by the Education iicMo use the State schools for the/religious 'training of • the young, and we are i glad to see that the

ministers of Duncdin are Retting the j example or co-operating for the accomplieh ( ment of this end. Hut if nil our fcichool Committees were of the constitution of that of Newton East, such well-directed cfFers would be " declined with thanks," and the doors of all public schools would be firmly closed against all or any religious teaching. ,

A considerable amount of business was transacted at the Kesident Magistrate' Court to-day, many of the actions being in the form of judgment summonses, while i there was also a tair proportion of defended I cases. There will be no sitting of the Court on Thursday next, for the very good reason that the day will be celebrated as a public 1 holiday. The cases which should be heard on Thursday will, however, be taken on tho following day, a special sitting being held by His Worship at the usual hour for the purpose The immigrants by the Westmeath die-1 embarked at the Quetn-street whaif at 12.38 to-day. They have generally a very respectable appearance, and appear to be of the class likely to make uaeiul colonists. The single giils were conveyed in 'busses to the dep6t. An exciting incident occurred in Queen* street at 130 tbis afternoon, a. horse attached to a spring-cart, owned and driven by a man named Berry, took fright in Hobson-street, and started off at a wild gallop. Berry was almost immediately thrown out, and sustained some severe bruises, The runaway horse turned down into Queen-Btreet and continued its mud career, to the great alarm of pedestrians and the drivers of other vehicles. Passing the entrance to Let) drum's stables, (he animal swerved, and the cart BtrucK a post near the side-walk. This caused a stoppage, through one of the shafts being broken. Ihe horse, detached from the trap, made a bolt in at the door of tbe Auckland and i^outhern Produce Company's establishment, |but for tunately did no damage other than smash in" a glass case, and upsettirjg a sack of oats

"A relative" writes respecting the pro posal of Mr J. Cairn", of Inehunga, that a public subscription be t;ot up in Auckland for the widow and family of the late Mr Penny, killed at Roe's sawmill, Onehunga, Our correspondent says that Mr Penny hud his life insured for £100, and while thank ing nil those who contributed so generously will leave it to the public whetuer they will assist further.

After a highly tnicco-sful run, "The Grasshopper" has been withdrawn at the (Jpera House, and " The Ticket-of. Leave Man" is now the reigoiug attrac tion. The initial performance was given last evening, ami was in every respect suc cessful. Miss Jennie Lee sustained the rOIe of|Sam "willoughby, and the other characters were admirably sustained. This evening the drama will be performed for the iait time. 'This (evening and to-morrow evening "Jo" will be revived. This will be the last opportunity but one that this Auckland public will have of seeing Miss Lee In her beat and most celebrated character.

All danger of our local magistrate or one or two energetic lawyers being killed by falling plaster in thejlower Civil Court U now at an end. The plaster ceiling of the court-room has been removed, and ueatly paiuted woodwork, with mouldings, sub stituted. So far as appearance is con cerned, the new style of ceiling pullers little from comparison, while it will be a great improvement on the score of safety. It is a great pity that this was not pro perly done at first, and subsequent expense In effecting alteration* saved.

To the Editor : Sir,—On Monday last, being on pleasure bent, 1 took ticket at .Newmarket for one of the stations ou tbe Kaipara lino. We started in fairly good time, having left Newmarket Station at 11.14—within two minut's of time table figures—but had only proceedod as far as Mount Eden station before we " stuck, , and there remained till 11.52; during tbe interval of 38 minutes, the engine was utilised in taking tome Bor 10 trucks of road metal some distance along tbo line. Such treatment as the above would make a saint, much less a Christian, anathematize that" miscalled"local manager.—lan;, &c, A Victim.

Tho loyal United Friends of Auckland will tegret to hear of the death of Mr Wm Shiers, General Secretary of tbe Grand Lodge, London. Particulars of the ex pected event have been received by Mr Jamei Cox, from which we gather that Mr Shiers died ou the 20th February, in St. Bartholomew's Hospital, In the 72nd year of his ag«. Mr Siiiers had occupied an official position in connection with tho Friends for a period of 42 years, >o tiia per sonal credit and tbe advantage of the order. Bis c >rrespondence with Mr Cox was genial and encouraging. He was an earnest worker in the cause which he had at heart, and won tbe esteem of all who knew him. His fatal complaint was a disease of the bladder. His remains were followed to tho grave, in the peaceful ceme tery of Ilford. by the chief officers and several hundred members of the Order.

A favourite hymn of the Salvationists declares that " millions have reached the happy shore, and sail there's room for millions more," —a statement which may be true as a sweeping generalisation, but which is iikely to prove fallacious when particularvation is attempted. Either the term " millions " conveys a very indefinite idea 10 their miods, or the leaders of tbe Salvation Army are men of great expecta tion. At the Holiness Council at Dunedin, the other day, Captain Edwards laid that he believed "' millions " of sinners would be conveited in New Zealand this year. Stuff Officer Matthews eaid he could not go as far as bis friend Captain Edwards, but be did believe that a million and a half would be conveited in this colony. )t should be pointed out that there is some difficulty in the way of such a mighty gathering, because tbe whole population of the colony is only half a million ; but this is probably a small obstacle ia the eyes of such sanguine people as these Captains of Salva tion are. Mnnv people, however, would like to know the piocca by which tboy propose to get a million and a half of "sinners" saved out of a population of five hundred thousand, of whom 93 per Cent are professing Christians.

The regular drill of No. 3 Company of Volunteers was held at the usual hour last night in the Drill-shed, under command < f Lieutenant Robinson. The won were put through a series of exercises, including the battalion drill, in a satisfactory manner,

A correspondent, Mr Maclead, of Opo. tiki, is getting up a list of subscribers for a newly-translated edition of Ossian's poem?, done into Knglish from tbe original Gaelic. The translation has taken several ycu-s of patient labour, and its appearance will, it v said, finally settle the controversy of tbe days of Johnson respecting Macpherson's spurious translation, and placi Ostian, the father of Gaelic barns, in his true position.

The "Opotlki Herald" has reached its third number, and looks promising. It is proposed to hold a conversaz:one in aid of the funds of the Young Women's Institute. Lady Jervois has promised her patronage. The Institute is at present short of fund*, and the Ladles' Committee consider this tbe best means of replenishing tue treasury.

We (Thames " Star ") were shown to-day by Captain Kayner, who was recently here conducting experiments relative to the us ' of electricity in gold saving, specimens of crystals found by him lately in the neigh bourhood of Miranda. Captain Rnyner did not go over for the express purpose of li ok ing for diamonds, but as he was well acquainted witb, tbe district, and know that dianiondiferous soil existed, he did some prospecting, and found quite a number of stones. They were embedded in a brown soil, similar to that in which the Raglan crystals were found. A number of small specimens were washed out of the soil on Mr MacGiunis's property at Miranda, and some larger ones were found either on or near Mr Gordon's farm at Whakatiwai. 'i lie stones tnatly resemble those from Raglan, which were on view at this office a couple of month* back, bat are clearer. Captain Rayner is confi dent that they are not quartz crystals, and will shortly lmvo them tested in Auckland. An interesting legal judgment was given in the Resident Magistrate's Court to-day by Judge fr'mlth. Tbe action was one for. detinue of a wife's wearing apparel, and in structions to proceed were given by the lady after her Husband had left the colony, she following him. Mr MacCormick was the solicitor to whom these instructions were Riven, and he being an important witness in the case, handed over the con duct of the case to Mr Devore.—His Wor ship held that he thus virtually became an agent and had no legal right to proceed ex cept under mitiio-ity of power of attorney. The plaintiff was consequently not before the Court, and the case was struck out.

Recently a'Wanganni paper wrote : " A wonderful thing has happened ut Oatuaru, where an uniusured stock of hay has been burned down." Thef'amarnMail retaliates thus: "We assume that it is unusual for an Bninsu-edftock to be burned in Waneanui. flence the surprise at our own honesty."

Mr Dargaville will address his con stituents in St. James's Hall at half-past seven o'clucc to-night. As the session is now near at hand a revival of interests in politics should manifest itself in a large at tendance to hear the member for City West confess his political faith. Yesterday afternoon as Mr Gedt fam well, of >' ewmarket, v»as driving near Mount St. John, his trap overturned, violently throwing him to the ground. He was taken to his reaidencs by Mr Clark's carriage, that happened to be passing. Dr. Codas was sent for.

The sbip Jriangitikei, which arrived from London to-day, has on board two Chinese seamen belonging to the Kenmuro Castle, which foundered in the Buy of Biscay on February 2ad. They were pioked up off a floatiug raft, after three compauionsbad suc cumbed to exposEreand want of nourlshmea't Captain Milman has kindly furnished u< with the folio wing account of the incident —On February 3, at 3 p.m., we sailed through a considerable amount of wreckage, consisting of broken cases, hatches, deck planks, pieces of saloon fittings, and square packages, tinned outside (which we after warus learnt were cases of matches), also any amount of broken wood, as far as the eye could reach, Tbe cases were marked with the names of Huntiy and Palmer's biscuit manufacturers reading, and Brown and Poison's cornflour, also preserved meat cases from Aberdeen.

RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT.— This Day .

(Before H. G. Seth Sm'th, >q , H,M.)

JUDGMENT.

In the case of £>haw v. Smith, judf" ment was given by His Worship. He said the action was one for detinue of wearing apparel of a wife, and at tbe outset the point was raised whether the action could be sustained ia this Court, on the ground that the male defendant had left the colony before any instructions were given to pro ceed, *he female defendant g«ve tier instructions to Mr MeCormack, and then left the colony also. The latter gentleman being an important witness in the case, handed over h s position as solicitor to Mr Devore. -The question now arose whether (1) the wife had power to give instruction at all, the property in the eyes of tbe law belonging to tier husband, while (2) the difficulty arose whether Mr MeCormack bad a right to delegate his instructions to anyone else. He really assumed the po«i tio iof agent. The law gave no power to appear or act by an agont unless authorised by power of attorney. His decision was practically that the plaintiff was not before t:io Court, and that tbe case must be struck out.—Mr Heaketh asked for costs, but Mr Theo. Cooper opposed the applica tion, and His Honor decided to take time to consider the point.

[BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN ;COKRESPONDENT.]

PaEhOa, this day. Te ABOHA was the scono of an extensive conflagration this morning. About 3.15 a firo broke out in Mr Coleman's Hot Springs Hotel, and before an hour had passed the whole building was in ashes. The boarders had just time to save their belongings, and even in this respect a few were unsuccessful. The lire raged furiously from the start to the finish, It is supposed to have originated in tbe commerc'aUroom nr kitchen adjoiniug, but tbe cause is not known, Very little furniture was saved. Messrs Veale and Co.'s T store, which adjoins the hotel, was also burned, but the owners were successful in removing a considerable portion of the stock. Tt>e people who assembled devoted their energies to saving the buildings on the othi r side of the road, which they did by the use of wet blankets. The post-office had a narrow escape; as it is, it is all upset, and the wires knocked out of order. Wo per. sonal injuries were sustained. For tunately tbe night was calm, or else the whole town would have been burned down. The damige is roughly eitimated to be :—Hotel and stock, £2,000; store, £200. As to insurances, nothing definite is known; but so far as we can learn the hotel was insured for £700 in the Victoria ! ffice, and the store ior £100 in tbe South British.

VESSELS FROM HOME.

Arrival of the Westmeath. ' s ——._„ * i About eight o'clock last evening the Bteamer Wtstmeath arrived in batbour and , dropped ancho- off the end of Qneen-atreet 1 •wharf, to await tbe arrival of the Health ' Officer, who visited the vessel early this \ morning, after which the 9teamer was' berthed alongside the end of the outer tee. The passengers arrived in excellent health, ; Two deaths occurred during the voyage, ' viz., on April 2nd, Chas. Butt, of rheu- I m&tic fever, and on April 25th, Thos. j ■ Menary, of consumption. Both were single i men, and were taken ill soon after leaving ■ Borne. The immigrants appear a deiir- < able class of people for this colony, and.; should experience no difficulty iv obtaining employment, They speak in favourable terms of the captain and officers, and so far as wo can learn no complaints ot any nature ! have been made. The Westmcatb has not \ by any means a prepossessing appearance, I It is easily seen mat she has just finished a long voyage, and a coat of paint is badly needed to make her present a decent appear ance. The Westmeath is not a fast ship by any means, but little fault can be found with her passenger accommodation, and she has also great caryo-carrying capacity. We gave a very fair description of the vessel a few weeks ago, to which it is not necessary to make a lengthy addition. Tbe single uirls have occupied apartments in the after part of the veseel, while the married people have been quartered down the two centre hatchways, and the single men occupied tbe forward part of tbe ship. The voyage hus been an uneventful one. The ordinary amusements incident to immigrant ships were indulged in, and tbe time generally has been spent as well as could be expected under tbe circumstances. Tbe passage has occupied 60 days from Plymouth, including stoppages at St. Vincent and Hobart for coal. The Westmeath is in charge of Captain house, who is now on bis first visit to this port. MrQuiller cciupies thepo-ition of chief officer, and the crew, all told, number GS bands. EEPORT OF PASSAGE.
