BhiriU'a plso spoke in very high terms'of the heivy obligations under which Air Clark laid the church by his assiduous labours as treasurer. — The Moderators-poke to a similar (.fleet.—The Key. W. Gillies, without any reference to the treasurer or his method of work, characterised the pro-cat system of Church Finance as a vicions one. It was high time, he thought, that they had a paid officer for the sole purpose of attend ing to their finance.—-The motion was then passed. Committee ok Statistics. — This Committee reported as follows :—" Your Committee have to report that 83 schedules were sent out and 62 have been returned. Of these, however, 14 have been re ceived since the Ass. mbly commenced its sittings. In tliese circumstances it ban been impossible to have the addi tions made and the results tabulated in time to present them to the Assembly, So far as those received in sufficient timo are concerned, the informa'ion contained in the schedules has been tabulated, and is now laid on the table. Your committee respectfully ask the Assembly to authorise them to have the tables completed and printed in an appendix to the Assembly's proceedings."— After some discussion upon the dilatoiiness shown in the transmission of these statistical returns it was agreed, upon the motion of the JScv.'W. Shirriffs, "That Fresbyterics bo enjoined to see that tue returns of statistics and Sunday Schools be punctually senttothercspectiveconveticrs." The statistic! submitted the following figures with respect to the streDgth of the Church : -Wuinbcr of churches, 99; total number of sittings, 17,575; number of mis sion station?, 125; elders, 199; managers, 749; communicant j, 5,302; adherents, 9,053.

Fina^ial DATA.—Pursuant to notice the Key. J. Macky moved, "That in order to supply the members and adherents of the etiurcU with means of information on financial and other matters with which they ought to be acquainted, the treasurer's Statement of yjccouutl, and the Tables of Statistics which arc printed and bound up with the ProejediDgj of the General Assembly from year to year, shall be printed, separately in such qumtity as will be sufficient to supply ail the congregations, in proportion to the number of farnilses in eacu ; that congrega tion-i shall be expected to contribute to wards the towards the expense of printing, but that their being supplied with inform ation f-hall noe be made to depend on their paying for it; and that Presbyteries shall be enjoined to see to it that both the Trej surer's Statement of Accounts and the Tables of Statistics shall be faithfuily dis tributed in all the congregations within ttieir bounds, and that this rule shall apply not only to this present year, but also to every succeeding jear, un less the Assembly shall othorwise direct.— The motion was not seconded, but never theless~discussion of a regular chsracter ensued.—-The M Kev. Mr McKinney com plained that a great amount of printed matter was obtained, which was never uti lised or circulated. He had noticed for instance, that the minutes of the Christ, church [Aresbytery were written entirely upon the backs of slips of such printed matter (Laughter,) Finally, it was agreed upon the motion of the Key. J, Mackoy seconded by the Key. NorricJ " 1 hat 4,000 copies of tke Treasurer's Staet ment bo struck off at the time tb, Assembly proceedings are being printed, and Sent to the various Presbyteries of the Chuich."

Maom Missions.-The Rev. V. J. Allsworth submitted the report of the Committee on Maori Missions. It set out by stating that the work of missions among the Maories had progressed Jatisfactori;y during the year. Mr Bonore had continued his labours among the Ngatiapas and other tribes within the districts of Manawatu, Rangitikci and Turakina, and he had also visited the Scandinavians at Halcombc and at Waitira once during the year. He re ported that the natives generally within hh district continued to display a growing interest in the Gospel me.sage, attend Divine Worship in larger numbers, and are more eager tor copies of the Holy Scriptures than had been their wont for several years past. Tim convener of the committee could bear testimony to the fact that the natives generally along the coast north of Wanganui bad frequently mani fested a desiie to possess God's Word by asking hiui to supply them with copies. Mr Honoid had obtained ten months' leave ot absence to visit his parents in Den mark, and no arrangement had been made for carrying on the work during his absence. Mr Nulson continued at hi 3 po3fc with tha up-iiver natives, Wanganui, and favourably reported of his reception by them, fctill he regretted that the Gospel was not winning its way among the natives a3 he couid desire. Xwo things had vitiated their minds viz. land and strong drink, but at Heruharama (Jeriualem) drunkeness bad greatly decreased and Eeveral had signed the pledge to abs'ain altogether. The com mittee had been much'encouraged by tho very geiierous assistance reodered by the Synod of Otago who had contributed to the funds to the amount of £50 for the past year, for which they, through the Assembly desire to express their btst thanks. The report concluded as follows :—'t be outlook of the future is not so encouraging as your committee could wish. They are convinced that the work, if done at all, ought to bo carried on in a large and hopeful spirit, but are very much hampered in their endeavours to con vey the Gospel message to the natives in the localities for the want of means. It does

1 not appear that our Church is awake to the 3 J responsibility of preaching Iho Gospel to the natives of New Zealand. That tho Maoris are neglected to a fearful extent by the entire professing Crhistinn CiiurcU in this colony cannot bo denied your com mittee have received trustworthy informal tion that there are nalive settlements which Jiave not. been visited for year* by any missionary ngent It is very dkcouraging to yoar committeo to note in the iuteiim statement of the Maori Mission Account supplied by the General Treasurer, that out of some 74 recognised charges on y 16 responded to the recommendation of the desirably to take up a eol'ection in February ISS2. If the Assembly could induce the ministers and congre gations loyally to discharge their duty to this Mission Fund or amalgamate, it with the Foreign Mission Fund, and then by missionary meutings, missionary boxes in the Sabbath schools, and missionary collections, so largely increase tho income of misiions, that other agents might bo employed. Your com nnttce huve places where they could station them with great advantage to tho Maoris and the Church of Christ in this hind.' — Mr AUsworth supplementrd the report with nu earnest address, in tho couivoof which ho stated thiit a telegram from the Utugo >ynod had just been put iv bis hand", worded as follows :-•'Tell alhwortli that that he may expect orion tor Maori Mission." He knew that Orion was an error forgrant, but he accepted it, nevertheless, as prophetic of b.ightcr days •—'Jn the motion of the Kov. J. JB, Mooro, seconded by tho Kcv. E. F. Macn'col, " That the report be approved. That the recommendations outaioed there in be carried out and that the hear.y thanks of the assembly bo given to the convener for hh excellent and in teresting report, aud also that tho thunKs of the assembly be givcu to tho Synod of Otaao for tho continuance of thoir graut of £50. DisjuncmN of Micdle Island OnuhCiiES.-Tho Key, W. Gillies aub mittcd tho following overture from the Presbytory of i'iinaru :—" At Temuka, 9th January, ISS3, wlrieh day tho Pre.bytery of Timaru met, and was constituted inter alia. The following over tnro on business was unanimously adopted : - Unto the Venerable tho General As sembly of the I,'ivsbytemu Church of New Ze iland indicated to meet at Auckland on the 20th day of February, ISS3. Whereas there seems no prospect ot the proposal for Union with the hrcrbyteiian Church of Otagoand Southland outhebasisagrced upon at last Assembly being carried into effect at t '.c present time, aud believing that an union of the Presbyterian churches in the Middle Island could be accomplished with out much delay or difficulty, and that such on union would be for the rood of the Church as a whole, and would be an im portant step toward au uliimato union of he Presbyterian Church in the whole of New Zealand,—it it humbly overtured by tho Presbytery of Timaru that thu General Assembly shall declare its rcadi nesi to tanction such an union, and authoriso the Presbyteries of Kelson, Westland, Christchurch, and Timaru, either onjoinily or separately, to negotiate with j lie Presbyterian Church of Otago and Southland for union therewith ; the terms on which such union shall tJco place being submitted to the Geueial Assembly for its approval before a formal (fisjunction in any c«so shall bp granted,—-Tho Kov. Mr Gi'lies, in moving tho adoption of the overture, maiatainod that thero was a want of sympathy between the Church in the North aud taat in the South by reason of tho dissimilarity of their work aud needs, and as union with (Hugo was a remote contingency, that result might be brought about sooner in the way inoicated by the overture. —Tho Key. J, Hill thought that tho Prcsbyte y of Christchurch might at least have been consulted in the matter bo foro the Timaru Presbytery took it upon itself to overture the Assombly to empower it to open up negotiations with the Synod of Oiago. While tho proposed union might suit Cauterbury ho* was uot auro that that good woull not be more than counter balance by the harm that would accrue to the Northern Church.— The Rev, J. Macky moved that tho overture should be referred to tbo Presbyteries for their opinion.—Kov, Gillies accepted this in lieu of his pro position. Tho Rev. K. McGregor spoke strongly against the overture, and the .Key, C. S. Ogg, having moved " That the overture be dismissed," he seconded it. Ou the vote being taken Mr Cgg's amend ment was carried by 17 to 3.

A Petitioning Siudent.—A petition was received Irani Gtorae Gram (late student evangelist of Wellington), stating that '' be bad observed fuliy and constantly the sentence of the General Ai-sembly; that he trusted that he has been ens bled to see I ho evil nature of his past conduct which called forth the disciplinary treatment of the Genoral Assembly. Ha therefore prayed for reinstatement to his position ai a student evangelist of the Church. A dis cussion ensued, in the course of which various propositions were tabled. They were all eventually withdrawn in favour of the following motion by the Key. A, M, McCallum, which was seconded by the Key. K. McGregor:—"That toe Assembly authorise the Presbytery of Wellington to receive application from Mr Grant for restoration to hi* status as student evangelist to recommend him to the Church Extension Committce_ for employment when satisfied of the sincerity of his repentance." —It was put and carried. Modbratoe's Names.-It was agreed, on the motion of the Key, J. «. Monro, seconded by the liev. T. >or ie, '"That the namas and dates of the election of tbo Moderators be inserted in the unnual repnrts of Assembly proceedings," OT'GJ ueputjes. — Tub Kcv. Lindsay Mackie expressed tho plcsurc that he him felf and liis brother dupties had derived from their visit to Auckland, and thauked tho Assembly for its cordial reception of them. He was now on the eve of his de< parture for the Hot Lakes, whore he intoDi ded to pass a week before returning home. —The Moderator sui'ably replied.

Ntw Hymn Book.—The Rev. J. Sidtr moved, and the Rev. W, Gillies seconded, " That as a new editisn of the hymn book prepared by thoPiesbyterian Church of New Zealand, and adopted by this Church, is about ro be issued, liberty be given to con gregations to use the new editions if they so desire." The Key. Mr Shiniffa moved as an amendment, and the Rev. R. G. Alhworth seconded, "That inasmuch as thenew hymn book of ihe Eoglish Presbyterian Church is expected to arrive in this country soon, a committee be appointed to examine the bjok when it arrives, and report to next Assembly-"—Tho awendment was carried, and the Presbytery of Auckland was ap pointed a committee to deal with the matter.

Repobts of Proceedings. - It was re solved on tho motion of the liov, J. Macky and the Rev. R. J, Allsworth :—(1) "That copies of the proceedings of the General Assembly shall bo given to various bodies.

The ABsembly then adjourned till the evening, when the principal business will be the consideration of the report on the Aged and Infirm Ministers' Fund.

A RKMINISCKNCE OF tho past three years marks rapid strides In the City of Auckland; a complete revolution has been made in certain well-known branches of trado—in Stationery, Clocks, Watches, Jowol lery, and Fancy Goods. The opening of tho London Arcado marked a favourable era for tho residents Of Auckland and its neighbourhood, I creator facilities thon being offered for obtain ing at ono and the same placo a selection from | tho most varied Btock in unison with tho trade mOttO'''S- P>T#REE YEARS experienco have shown by demonstration that a ! nimble Gd. is bettor than a slow Is., and that, notwithstanding, tho closo imitation and keen ,' competition to wnich wo havo been subjected, I our business was never more successful than at 1 tho present, tho public readily discriminating between the plan adopted at tho Arcado of marking tho goods at the same universal low price, and tho courso now being adopted by Borne of our competitors—marking a few linos 50 per cent, below the prices at which they have for years supplied tho samo goods to tho Auck land public. Daring our three years ! RESIDENCE IN tho City our pipces havo remained the same wo commenced at in High-street, and though in the plan wo have pursued — viz., supplying our goods upon a lowor tariff of profits than hitherto known in Auckland, wo havo incurred tho displeasure of a fow o£ our neighbours, wo are yet contont to know wo havo the approba' tion of tho majority of our appreciating tizons, and aa long as wo remain in AUCKLAND it will ba our endeavour honourably to maintain tho position in which wo have been placed by the extensivo patronage we havo received from tho inhabitants of Town and Country, to whom . wo tender our sincere thanks.
