Thames, this day. Mb Thos. Ravtdok, Foreman of Works to the Borough Council, was found dead in his office this morning, death resulting from apoplexy. He arrived from To Avoha last night, and appears to have entered his office and sat down to rest when overtaken. He was found by the offico boy this mim ing. The deceased gentleman was an enthusiastic Freemason, holding offico in tho Provincial Grand Lodge of Scottish Constitution, and was also a mem ber of. the Foresters and Shepherds. He was one of the first persons to prospect the Thames district, and was also one of the petitioners for tho- opening of tho district, and an original shareholder of tho famous Golden Crown claim. In ac cordance with his frequently repeated re quest, ho will be interred with Masonic honours. . Another account says:—"Mr Thomas Bawdon, Borough Foreman of Works, and one of the pioneers of tho Thames goldfields, was found dead in his office this morning. Ho returned from a trip to Te Aroha yes terday evening, complaining of being shaken by the coach, and was not seen after flvo o'clock till found this morning. He had been ailing for some time."

CORRESPONDENCE.

United Methodist Free Churches-Discus sion on Methodist Union.

(To the Editor.) i Sir,—Permit us to thank you for your kind consideration in reporting the proceedings of our District Meetingin connection with the above subject, but as an important aspect of the question has not beeri so fully set forth in the report as is necessary to convoy a correct account of an important part of the proceedings, wo trust that you will afford space for sup plying the omission, viz., the reports re ceived from the Circuit on the ques tion.- Your issue of the 18th inst. correctly reports Mr Tayloras stating that "8 circuits hod declared in favour of union, ftnd only 3 against." Sir, this is not a correct state ment of the case. Tho circuits have reported as follows: — 3 circuits, wz., Christchurch, Oxford, and Wellington, with 295 members, decided against union on the basia proposed, and 3 circuits, viz., Dunedin, Beefton, and Woodvillo, with 141 members, decided in favour of union ; 2 cir cuits, viz.,, Auckland and Napier, with 202 members, decided in favour of union, but recommended slight modilications in the basis, whilst Addington and Rangiora circuits, with 200 members, recommend in the basis which will make the constitu tion o£ the proposed United Church nearly identical with tho pveseat constitution of the Free Methodist Churches ; and the Westport circuit declines at present to tako any action on tho question. This, sir, is greatly different from the statement of Mi- Taylor, that 8 circuits had declared infavour of union and only 3 against it. And fpr the purpose of complying with tho wishes of the circuits as expressed in the reports, the following amendment on Mr Macfar lane's resolution was proposed but lost on the division: "That in consequence ol the opposL tionof soveralof our circuits to Methodist union in tbfs colony on the Wv> now before the meeting, also the fundamental altera ttoTto tie basis suggested by sever* others of our circuits, this meeting deems |t advisable that an effort shou d be made to secure alterations in the basis of union, £ accordance with the recommendations of the circuits, before engaging to^onter the pr oposedMethodistChurchoftfew!?ealand. The report °f Ml' Macfarlane's speech in reply wnveys the impression that Mr Bouren objected to union because it would eventuate'in the higher education of the sons of ministers and rich laymen. What Mr Bouren did say was that the principal argument of one of the speakers at a public meeting held in Ghristchurch was that union would enable arrangements to be made for the establishment; of schools for the higher education of the rich Methodist families in the colony, and that he Strongly. obje'etedto any class legislation in connec tion with our churches. Trusting you will be able to afford space for the above, and again thanking you for the consideration i.fthe reports published,-^^^^-

Mishap. — Pjlot Sainty stated that while working the Turakina up tho harbour, a change of wind caused tho ves sel to make a stern board and take tho ground by her head near the pilot schooner. —The Harbour-mastor reported that thoro was only soft mud at the spot.—Received.
