Tub usual meeting was held last evening, Mr Carr presiding, All the members were present. Nklsox-street School. —The Chairman stated that he had given notice to Mr Andrews that he must give up possession of his class-room in Nelson-street School at tho end of this month. It was agreed that the Chairman and members of Committee should assemble at the Nelson-street School on Monday next at 1 p.m., for the purpose of receiving the school-roll and possession from Mr Brabazon ; also that on the following Monday they should meet to introduce the new head-master, Mr Hart. Writing.—A lengthy discussion on this subject as connected with school lessons took place. It was suggested that the best plan would be for a depu tation to wait upon the Board in order to make recommendations in the matter. Eventually the subject was postponed for further consideration at next meeting. Special Certificate.—A letter from the Board stated that a special certificate of proficiency had been awarded to Ada Mary Dickson, of the Wellesley-street School, she having at the last examination for district scholarships obtained 70S marks out of a possible 1,050, but failed to gain half marks in needlework only, the failure being caused by weak eyesight.

"DISCONTENT IN IRELAND."

Tin: usual meeting of St. Stephen's Mutual Improvement Society was held last night. There was a good attendance. Rev. D. W. Runciman occupied the chair. Mr J. H. Field read a papor on " Discontent in Ireland." He commenced by showing that the Irish were miserably poor because of exceptional circumstances in their early history, which could not be averted, and the oppression of the Roman Catholic Church. This poverty was greatly augmented by the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846, and the terrible famine which im mediately eneued left thorn in such a wretched condition that there was nothing remaining for the son of Erin but to starve, to beg, or to emigrate. Since then more than one-third of the whole population adopted the latter course and quitted their inhospitable native land to seek a homo in the Far West. The beneficial results' of emigration were alluded to ; it expanded the views of the emigrants, and made them healthier members of society, while the great wealth which they accumulated in the new country, and the vast sums of money they sent home to their filends, went to prove that they had adopted the wisest course. The condition, too, of those who remained in tho old country waa improved, because, there being fewer labourer?, they got higher wages. M r Field concluded by briefly recapitulating his whole argument. A long and interesting dincuHuioii followed, during the course vi which tho ossayirt was criticised with regard to some details, but his main principles were on tho whole acquiesced in, tlioro being no " Radicals" present to prove their fallacy. Mr Field was accorded a hearty vote of thanks for his able and in structive essay. It was intimated that at the next meeting, October Bth, Mr Allan would read a paper on " The Life and Times of Illustrious Irishmen.1'

MINING NEWS.

(BY TELEGBAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT). Thames, this day. New Prince Imperial.—The shaft has been sunk 70 feet below No. C level, or 570 feet from the surface, at which depth the manager purposes opening out the new level after first providing a suitable well hole in which to store water. No 2 reef was broken down to-day in the winze below No. (i level, and showedgold freely. Deep Level Cross. — For some unex plained reason, the directors have instructed the manager to suspend the southward crosscut at No. 5 level, which is at present the only important work in progress. The wisdom of the policy it is difficult to dis cern, as this prospecting crosscut ranks next in importance to those in the deop levels. Golden Crown (Karangahake).—A parcel of eleven tons of quartz, from the inter mediate level, has given the capital return of 61ozs retorted gold. Bright Smile.—Fourteen loads of quartz from the drive and stopes at the Deeaide level have been crushed for an excellent return of G3ozs 12dwts retorted gold* Moanataiari.—Carter (tributer) crushed eight tons for a yield of lOJozs, and Char nock obtained loz 3dwts from one load. Stopping of the Big Pump. The Deep Level Cross directors have noti fied the companies contributing to the maintenance of drainage operations of their intention to cease pumping at the end of December. The object is evidently to throw the onue of supporting the pumps upon other companies benefited, and if only reasonable facilities are afforded them, there is reason to suppose that more suit ablo arrangements than those now existing could be made. I learn that an effort is being made in Auckland to secure a subsidy towards the Deep Level propecting works in the Thames districts, and that the Government will be requested to place £10,000 on the Estimates for that purpose.

THE ORANGEMEN AND SIR HENRY PARKES.

In the first momentß o! Sir Henry Parkes's arrival in Sydney on the 29th ult., he ac cepted an invitation to receive an address of. welcome from the Loyal Orange Institu tion of New South Wales, and on the 4th inst. the presentation took place in the new MasonicHall,Castlereagh-Bt.,in the presence of about 1,500 Orangemen. Large as the meeting was, it was said it would have been much larger if a more extended notice of it had been given. But the crowd who were present filled the large hall, and as many persons wore the regalia representing membership in one or other of the lodge?, or the occupancy of some official position, in the institution, and as all were enthu siastic in honouring Sir Henry and cheering liis remarks, the sight the meeting pre sented was a somewhat remarkable one. The meeting was presided over by Mr R. L. Murray, M.L.A., R.W.G.M., and on the platform, besides Sir Henry Parkes, were :—. Mr Henson. D.G.M. ; Mr Thoe. Jossop, G.S. ;Mr N. ,T. Mackenzie, G T.; MrJ. W. Wheeler, F.ti.C.; Mr W. Roboon, VY.G.S. ; Mr R. McCoy, P.W.G.M. • Mr W. Kippax, P.W.G.M.. ; Mr A. Alexander ;Mr Abigail, M.L.A.; Alder man Lees jMr W.' Neill; Mr J. C Neild ; Mr J.Kidd, J.P. ; Mr John Davies, C.M.G.; and a large number of moiribersof Parliament. Sir Henry Parkes, in reply, chiefly directed his remarks to the question of religious instruction in the public schools.

INQUEST ON THE BODY OF G. M. DARROCH.

«. An inquest was h6ld yesterday afternoon at the Star Hotel, Newton, before Dr. Philson, coroner, and a jury, on the body of Gavin Miller Darroch, who met with his death on the previous day. Major Burn?, foreman, and Sergeant Donnelly re presented the police. Mr Cotter, solicitor, watched the case for Mr Watt, tho architect. Dr. Knight depo3ed to the cause of death, viz., the falling of the building upon the head, and crushing it against one of tho piles of the structure. Percy Lipscombe, builder, of Hepbuvn-street, was standing in the centre of the new Presby terian Church, Surrey Hills Estate, while Darroch was explaining to him how the boards were to be put on the roof. While listening, a blast of wind caught tho build ing, and he saw the north side of tho church falling inwards. They tried to escape, and on looking round saw that deceased was jammed between the wall and the top plate of tho structure. Ho called, but there was no answer. Deceased must have died instantaneously. George Darroch (brother of deceased), Mr R. M. Watt (architect), Wm. Robb (labourer), and Harry Carter(carpenter),also gave evidence. The jury, after due consideration, returned their verdict : " That the deceased, <!avin ,Miller Darroch, came to his death by the fall of the building, and that no blame is attachable to anyone, the same being acei djntal." .
