DEVOPORT CONGREGA TIONAL CHURCH.

Ia ceremony of laying tho foundation atone o( the above Church on Saturday afternoon ittnctei a largo numbor of Bpectators, a very mcl-lfeature of interest being tho presence of toQaeen of Rarotonga, thoKlngof Atiu.and M-mtlnue. After a hymn by tho Beresford imet Church choir, which was present under folesd of Mr J. P. Hooton, Mr Arthur Claydon delivered an address. He oxpressod surprise 111 al the rare beauty of Auckland, (2) the abso ___!_ unique viow to bo obtalnod from the lit of Mount Eden, and (3) the strength tl Congregationalism in thlß district. He bit etrongly that Now Zealand's supreme ued May was Christly influence. In the Hmse of Representatives, as well as in com- Hldll circles, the spirit of Christ was sadly iwied to rectify human infirmities. Mr Clay- Jen then pawed on to refer in terms of eulogy to the Rev. Mr Livons. Ho had urged him wtieninLondon a few montha back to come out to Ken Zealand. Ho thought ho aaw In him tho right tort of man for the colony—earnest, taghtlul, highly-cultnrod, and with tho truo ml'sionnry spirit, and ho thcroforo rejoiced to MhlmnowinßtaHedat Dovonport. 'i'hoapoaker ooclided with complimentary reference to the presence of the Queen of Rurotonga. Her -tad, he said, was one of tho proudest trophies ulCoMreeationalißtti. There, as in other South lea Hands, where similar triumphs for tho Cum had been won by tho Wealeyane and tlio Church tf England, there wcro arguments in (.tout of Christianity which, ho thought, no lnSdel could get ovor. _i W. C Ualdv. assisted by the Queen ot Itataj_,tlien laid tho foundation stone, tho (jitaiepult-og in tho cavity a bottle contain lan cojlatl the Even mo STAK "New Zealand Httald.ud" Congregational Union," a brief itcomtofthe beginning of Congregationalism it ftTOiiport, and a nombor of coins of the rain.

ARRIVAL OF THE HON. MR BALLANCE.

Tiik Hon. J. Ballanco, Native Minister, ar rived at Onehunga last ovening, and was mot by Cr. Morrison, and drivon into town betweon eight and nine o'clock. Ho took up his quartors at the Star Hotel, whore ho was intorviowod during tho day by a numbor of porsons on mattors of no public importance. Ho visitod Quoen Makoa at '-. 30 p.m. Mr Ballnnce loaves Auck land on Thursday or Friday, in response to an invitation for somo of tho leading Maori chiefs, who are anxious to soo him on matters oU'octing the land, rail way.andnativo generally. Ho will roinain Waikato two or tliroodays, and will probably return by way of Taupo, as tho natives there desiio to soo him. Ho will not delivor any political address during his stay in Auckland. In conversation with one of our reporters this nftornoon, Mr Ballanco said that Kahui, at whoso roqnest he oponed tho road near Parihakn the othor day, was for merly ono of the loading foncera, and a most troublesome man to tho Government. Ho now cxprossos himself as disgusted with To \Yhiti, and has como over to tho Government with tho wholo of his hapu. Ho says ho will stand by thorn, and manage his owu land in h.s own way, and by himself. Mr Ballanco considers tho opening of the road as most important, and beliovos that it_ will tend largely to brake down tho Te Whiti movoment, as the road passos near Purihika. To Whiti- is disgusted at the step Kahino has taken, and says ho has been tho first to break up tho land. Mr Balcombo, who was especially invited to open tho road, was cordially received, and accorded three choors in British stylo, and was vory hospitably ontortainod by tho natives.

LAND SETTLEMENT.

Is tho course of an interview with one of our reporters today, Hon. Mr Ballanco said he intends to go largoly into tho ques tion of tho .'administration of land during his stay in Auckland. Ho will see tho Commissioner of Crown Lands, and the Chief Surveyor withjtho viow of promoting the settlement of land in the whole of this provincial district. Under tho new Land Act, the powor of settlement is extended greatly, |and the clausos dealing with the settlement of small runs, useloss for agricultural purposos, aro specially applic able for a large extent of country in the North Island. Auckland should, therefore, beno_it considerably by Mr Ballance's visit,

SERIOUS RIOT AT COORAN BONG.

PoUco Flro on Thoir Assailants.

Coora-Hiono, Octobor 16th. Tins evening Inspector Thorpe received a telegram from Mr Mackenzie, stating that a riot had occurred, that tho police had been mobbed by a gang of navvies at Cooranbong Now South Wales, that sevoral of tho men had been shot, and asking for assistance. Inspector Thorpe immediately sent throe mounted police to the scene of tho riot, under Sub-inspector Lynch, that numbor only being available, as all the rest were scattered through the district. The police had instructions to tako with them a surgeon from Wallsend. Later particulars which have been received Btate that the disturbance took place at Coulter's Hotel, through the police trying to arrest one of the men for drunkenness. His mates then interfered and rescued the prisoner. They tore the unifonus off the police and surrounded them, so that the police were compelled to fire their revolvers in selfdofence. Three of the navies were shot, and one of them is seriously wounded. Both constablos wore sevoroly maltreated. Threo prisoners are now in the lockup, but the ringleaders of the riot have escaped to the bush. Tho affair has created great alarm near Cooran bong.—" Sydney Herald."

CORRESPONDENCE.

Settlement on tho Land.

(To tho Editor.)

Sik,— I was much gratified to see your re marks in this evening's papor on the above subject. There is, I think, no need for us to spend money to induce or holp people to come hero, but groat need to remove ob structions out of the way of their gotting on to the land when horo. It would appear that tho machinery of our land offices really exists to enable land speculators to make a large profit cut of the would-be settlor. It is actually cheaper for him to give the speculator 50 or 100 per cent, on the original cost of the land than to put up with the vexatious delays of waiting for surveys, sales, &c, and prospoct of being outbidden by aforesaid speculators at the sale. It will bo better for us as a nution to throw open tho land at a price or without a price, but to be held only on con dition of occupation and use. Let lists of available lands, be obtainable at every post offico, so that people can go on to the land when, they wish and whon thoy are ablo. Sir, I have known many pooplo of tho right stamp who have wished and tried to get on tho land, but who have been so hampered by red tape obstructions that after waiting, and of course, wasting their money and timo, they have given the matter up in iisKuat, and now either swell our already plethoric town population, or have left the colony. There need be no fear about get ting tho right people if we only treat them reasonably when here. Take the case of tho Albertland party, 4,000 souls, bring ing with them £150,000 to £200,000-not a penny of help did they ask from Go vernment, The inducement was the land to settle on, and bad that land been within reach of any market, the bulk of those people would be on that land now. I only mention their case to show that people of energy, thrift, and good reputation, and having a little money in their pookets, have been brought here-and might be again— at no cost to tho country, while for some years past we have been importing people whose most notable qualifications have been the opposite of those just mentioned. Hoping you will keep tho subject venti lated, I am, &c„ Citizen. October 24th.

Dissenters.

(To the Editor),

Sir, —Noticing that Mr Larkins stated in the Synod that the Sunday School Union was in tho hands of tho Dissenters, oxcitid my curiosity to know who they were. Mr Larkins not being handy to rofor to, I took down a dictionary, and found that tho definition was, "ono who separntos from tho service and worship of any established Church, and particularly applied to those who separate from, or do not unite with, tho Established Church of England." My Curiosity re mained equally unsatisfied; if I took another definition, "one who differs in opinion," ihon the phraso is meaningloss, for on sevo ral points the members of tho Synod differ from each othor ; so they are all dissenters. Surely Mr Larkins, and others who use the phrase, do not wish to convoy any oppro bium to their fellow Christians. It recalls too much tho injustice and strife of tho old land. The late Roy. James Bullor advised colonists to rosont the term in this land where all havo equal free dom and liberty. Mr Larkins, associated as he i 3 with tho V.M.C.A., &c., must know that if tho Anglican Church is un roprosontod in tho working of tho S.S. Union, it is ontiroly thoir own fault. In this now land lot us drop any terms which look like conveying reproach. The Churches hero aro Episcopal and non-Episcopal, which, if the torm sister churches is ro jocted, is surely sulliciontly distinctive and in better tasto.—l am, &c, Southern Cko*.s.

The Cathedral Site.

(To tho Editor.)

Sib, —From tho publishod account of tho Bishop's address to tho members of the Synod I lonrn that ho considors thnt "on tho building of tho now St. Mary's Church, two largo churches so closo to ono anothor as the Cathedral and St. Mary's would bo are not required by us in our prosont circumstances, &c," and recommends thnt " arrangements bo mado, if possible with tho authorities of St. Mary's parish for using their church as a Cathodral,&c," and winds up by tho con clusion that "ns I cannot havo a Cathedra' on tho proper sito, it scorns to mo the next best thing is to uso as my Cathedral the church nearest to that site." I wish, how ever, to suggest.ovon though a morbid sonti mont and at prosont a logal dilliculty exist ns to tho Parnoll site, that tho fittest place for tho Cathodral is that of St. Matthew's. It is tho contro of tho city, of a commanding position, and of easy accoss by tram, &.C., and I take it that a daily sorvico.as ordered by tho Ritual, would greatly tond to the edification of all Christians. Money, also, is availablo, as St. Matthew's has nearly £13,000 in hand for building purposes, and any further sum could easily bo raised for tho erection of a temple of lasting magnifi cence and usefulness.—Yours, &c,, J. E. Allen. Auckland, Octobor 16, 1885.
