MATTER, MIND, AND SPIRIT.

Dr. York delivered the final lecture of his supplementary course, bofore a crowded aa emblage, at the Opora House last Sunday night. The subject was "Matter, Mind, and Spirit." He defined matter as the basis o£ all that was palpable to the senses of hian, and that entered into and formed the com position of everything of which we had any knowledge. It was indestructible, but was Constantly changing into fresh conditions^ The aqueous and igneous rocks, the sweetly-scented flower and the field of nod ding grain, man himself, and all forms 0' animate life, as well as the circumambient air and the ether of the inter-stellar spaces, were but so many varieties of all-pervading matter. Mind he took to be a subtler and more refined kind of matter, and conse quently it could not exist apart from or ganisation. Having before our eyes the evidences that all life has been evolved from lower cruder forms, and that man is but the latest link in this grand chain of being, there was nothing to preclude the probability that this evolutionary process extended into more etheralised forms of life intangible to our grosser material sonses. lie, therefore, claimed no more for Spiritualism than its probability on scientific grounds. Asa religion it had no value in his eyes, but as a fact from which a philosophy of life might bo deduced to broaden, deepen, sweeten, and purify the moral nature of man, it would be of considerable importance. He shrank from a religion of Spiritualism, however, for its mediums would become priests, and the system founded by them would be worse than Roman Catholicism, and ten thousand times worse than Methodism. Professional modiumship was professional devilry, and aa for the alleged materialisation of spirits, ho did not believe in it. In fact, he was ready to admit that 75 per cent, of the alleged phenomena of Spiritual ism wore the result of either self-delusion or deliberate fraud, but in the 25 per cent residuum there was sufficient to engage the attention of science, and to render probable the existence of human intelligence in highei" conditions of life.

Northern River Steam Navigation CO,-Annual Meeting.

Tiie annual roport of tho Northern River Steam Navigation Company, which was adopted at the meeting on Friday, showed that the directors had put the etenmera in first-class condition. The a.s. Kina has been lengthened, and a new steam boiler put into her, her machinery improved, and a complete new outfit provided, which has resulted in an Increase of speed and_ pas senger accommodation, together with a larger carrying capacity on a less draught of water. The directors have also deter mined to at once put the s.s. Minnie Gasey in first-class order; a new steam boiler for her is nearljr completed, and the whole of her repairs are expected to be finished in about two months' time. Comparing this year's trade with the year before shows a considerable falling off in tho passenger traffic, amounting to^ £900 less than during the previous year. Thismay bo accounted for partly by a less number travelling, and by a boat having been I • position for seven months of the year, i - directors consider that when the steamers are put into first-class condition the Com pany's assets will be so valuable that future not profits can be divided. The gross profits of the steamers to the period named amount t0£2,1701454d, and after writing off expenses of management, etc., and £578 3b 8d bank interest, besides the wholo ot the preliminary and other expenses at forma tion of tha Company, amounting to £274 9s 4d, there is left a balance at the credit of profit and lose of £936 4s 6d, which the directors propose to carry forward to the new profit and loss account. Messrs E. Mitchelson and Charles Clarke wero re elected directors, and Mr J. Waymouth auditor.

MESSRS. GARLICK AND CRAN WELL'S EMPLOYES.

A«n«n.i picnlo and Social Meeting.

The annual social re-union provided for thcii employe's by Messrs Garlick and Cranwell, fur nishing warehousemen, took placo on Saturday last. Four large drags, two hired from Crow ther and two from Faterson, conveyed the em ployers and workers from tho premises in Queen-street to the residence of Mr Garlick, Ferndale, Mount Albert Tho route chosen was via -Kemucro, Kpsom, and Pah Farm, a detour which opened up to the excursionists somo of tho loveliest landscapes to be seen around Auckland. There were in all about 70 prosonr, a larger number than turned out last year, but it was pleasant to note, as a sign of good relations, that tho great majority wero tno aauio as were In tho firm's employ a year ago. Arrived at Fcrndale, after a pleasant drivo, it was found that ample preparations had been mode for tho reception of the company. Light refreshments wcro spread al fresco, and after partaking rf these, tho more active in the company entered with zest into the playing o.< orickot. hilaegardo and lawn tennis, varied by a desperate tut; of-war, in which nearly all took part, and followed by foot races for the boys. The dinner bell broke in not disagreeably on the latter sport, and the company assembled in Mi Garlick a social hall and drawing-room, thrown into ono grand dining and reception room for the occasion.

I'ho dinner, which was purveyed by Mr Canning, was servel a 2a Ji-usse, and was of the choicost description, tho viands being washed down by copious libations of ginger ale, hop beer, and lemonade Mr Qarlick presided, while Mr Cran well and Mr fcmith, manager, occupied the croupiers' chairs. Thotoastaot "TheQnoon andßoyairamily"and"Hlsßxcellenoy6icWm. Jorvois" bavinfr been honoured, Mr Oarlick next proposed ''Our Co-Helpers in the Busi ness." On behalf of his parlnor and himself, he had great pleasure in seeing them all assembled on this occasion. He wasulad that all the heads of departments remained the same as last year, and t hat there had boon no changes in their Btaff th-ongh death. Ah workers and colonists they had nil great reason to bo proud of their present position. They had hoara during the past few months of hundreds and thousands being thrown out of work in England and America, and nearorhomothoy had heard of crowds of "un pmployed" in tno cities of Australia, and even in tno Southern citios o[ this colony; and when they looked on these, and then turned to look at Queen street on a Saturday evening, crowded with thousands of well-dressed,happy and pros perous people, they had reason to be thankful that their lot was cast in the fair city of Auck land. (Applause). He was happy to say that during tho past year they had not had to lessen their staff either in the faotory or show-room. They were aware that in other factories, even in Auckland, the staff had been reduced; but the public had so far supported them that they had kept on the full staff. (Applause.) He went on to refer to Borne work whloh the firm intended sending to the Industrial Exhibition at Wellington, and reminded the apprentices that if they wished to send any specimen of their handicraft In their own names they should make application by Tuesday first, Mr GarlicK coupled with tho toaßt the names of Messrs Brown, Dye. Smith, Batkln, Kearney, and O'Connoll. Messrs Brown and Smith replied in neat speeches, the latter concluding by propo' in« the health of Messrs Garlick and Oranwell." Mr Cbanwell returned thanks in a vigorous speech. They hod, he said, been told fre quently-and the remark was repeated the other day by Mr Kees-tbat the rolations between employer and employed were changing very much. This was very true, and he thought there was a reason for it The work ing! olasses woro now in a vory different posi tion from that they occupied some years ago; I hey were a groat deal more independent than formerly, and did not feel under any obligation to their employors. This change could not be ignored, ana ho believed that in the future employers would have to fall in with the grand idea of co-operation. (Applause.) There muat, however, be a considerable difference in the built of the .working class before they reached that stago. Tho employes of Messrs Garlick and Oranwell were for the most part Boher and attentive; in faot, he did not think they-hod even occasion to flnd fault: but with regard to the great majority of theworkiog clasßes they wore very improvident, and a week or two out of work threw them upon their " beam ends." Before co-opera ton could be arrived at, working men must learn the virtue of providence He thought they could boo in the distant future that the better class of workmen would demand to have more than a mere passing interest in the business in which he was employed. He thought'it was reasonable and right that th?y should have a permanent interest in the work but bofore they could receive this they mutt become capitalists. .Mr. Roes thought that tho workman's labour alone would bo suffi cient, but tho speaker disagreed, as a start would be impossible without capital. It was a well • known fact that in a vjry few years the whole capital of a country passed through the hands ot the wage-earning class, and there was therefore no difficulty in the way of their becoming capitalists. (Ap plause.) As a firm, they were perfectly satis fled with the existing order of things, and the excellent relations which prevailed between themselves and their employes, but whi c they did not wish for a change, the chang j was sure to come. He concluded by again returning thanks. Mr Garlick also returned thanks, and advised them all to make themselves flrstclas workmen, as the first essential step towards be ooming capitalists. . Thp other toasts were " The Ladies," proposed by Mr Dyk, and responded to by Mr Hescott. and "ThePresß,"proposed by Mr Garlick, and acknowledged by tho representatives present. Tho tables were then oleared, and the remainder of the evening was spent in social mirth and song. The programme was a long and interest ing one, and tho various performances were of a high order of merit, the character sketches being especially admired. At half-past ten the proceedings closed wi h fie singing of "AuldLargSyne,"andthegueslß after giving three hearty cheers for their entei [ tamers, were driven back to town in the cleir moon'ight after a most enjoyable day.
