A special meeting of the Harbour Board was held yesterday afternoon, Mr G. Aickin presiding, for tho purpose of con sidering "'Tho Auckland Harbour Board Bill, 1884," and tho " Auckland and Manu kau Harbours Bill, ISS4." The Chairman explained that the principle of the bills had been affirmed; they now came before the Board for legal approval. He moved the adoption of the Auckland and Manukau Harbours Bill as printed. This was carried, an amendment to defer the matter for the present session being lost. The clauses of the Auckland Harbour Bill, 188-1, were then gone through seriatim, and the following amendments -made ;— Clause b' was amended to read as follows :— "Two members shall be appointed by the Governou, four members shall be appointed by the Council of the city of Auckland, one member shall be appointed by the Council of the borough of Parnell, one member shall be elected by the ratepayers of Devon port, one by the ratepayers of Birkenhead and Northcote, one member shall be elected by the Auckland Chamber of Commerce, two members shall be appointed by the borough of Onehunga, four members shall bo elected by and out of the persons who shall respectively have paid to the Board tho sum of iive pounds or upwards of harbour dues during the year ending the fifteenth diy of January preceding such election, and tho persons whoso names shall on the fifteenth day of January pre ceding such election appear on the register book "for f.hippi"g at tho Customhouse at Auckland-- theownersor part owners of any vessel of 25 tons measurement or upwards." Clause 7 was amended to read :—" The first members of the Board to be appointed by the Governor and by the Council of the City of Auckland, the Council of the Borough of Onehunga, the Council of the Borough of Parnell, and the Auckland Chamber of Commerce, shall be appointed, and shall como into office on the second Monday in the month of February, one thousand eight hundred and eighty-five, and each members shall hold office from tho timo of their appointment until the appointment of their successors." Clauses 21, empowering tho Board to lease by private contract lands which had not been leased by auction, and 22, empower ing the Board to enter into contracts to lease lands vested in them, were struck out. The bill as amonded was then put to tho meeting and adopted.

Two correspondents, "Enquirer" and " E.W.," write with regard to points raised in Rev. Ralph Brown's lecture last night on " Heads and Faces." The former wants lo know if it is man's immortal mind that plays upon the physical organs, what it is that does the same thing in the animal creation? The latter combats the asser tion that phrenology proves the mind of man to be immortal, and alleges its teach ing to be exactly contrary. He thinks the science of phrenology supports the Scrip tural view (as ho understands it) that man at death becomes unconscious. Both cor respondents wish the rev. lecturer to give some explanation on tbe subject. Space will not permit of the discussion of the subject in our columns, but probably Mr Brown will say something in explanation to-night at his second lecture.

In giving judgmentat the Supreme Court to-day in the case^Sperry (Property Tax Commissioner) v. New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Mr Justice Gillies answered the questions put by the case as follows :—That the holder of pro perty in New Zealand is bound to pay the property tax on the full value of the pro perty, without deducting therefrom his English indebtedness secured over the property. The answers, therefore, which I give to the questions put by the case are— 1. That the defendant company are bound to render statement- of property as prin cipals so far as the guaranteed investers are concerned, and that so far as the agricultural company is concerned, the defendant company are not bound to render statements either as principals or agents, nor as trustees, inasmuch as the Agricultu ral Company have their headquarters in the Colony, and are bound to render their own statement. 2. It is unnecessary to answer. 3. Is not properly a question, but an agreement of the parties that accounts be taken in accordance with the above opinion, and that judgment be entered for the plaintiff for such amount in accordance therewith may be_ shewn to be due. 4. That in accordance with the agreement of parties judgment be entered for the plaintiff for £30 costs.

Host: Koxu, August 25. Intellii.knct: is to hand that the French ironclads engaged the Chinese forts at the mouth of tho Foochow river to-day, and after two hours' cannonado tho ships re tired.

London, August 20,

In consequence of tho active hostilities between France and China, much excite ment now prevails among the native popu lation, and a strong anti-European feeling is manifest. Tho ill-feeling is especially intense at tho treaty ports, and tho position of tho European residents is ono of consider able danger.

Tho report of the lecture by tho Rev. Mr Brown on "Heads and Faces" is crowded out of this issue.

Mr W. A. Thomas announces that having purclmsi d the business of Mr W. C. Portor, noar tho Royal Mail Hotel, Victoria-street, ho will there carry on the business of tobacconist and hairdresser. There is a chess and draughts room, and other conveniences.
