This month's "Church Gazette" is an unusually interesting number, _ it contains an account of Bishop Pattesoii's death, fur-iehed by the natives of ftukapu to the Mission party at their recent visitation. It is satisfactory to learn that the deed met with great disapprobation, the murderers being banished and the ringleader subse quently shot. There is also a good article on Evolution, wherein the writer makes a strong point in favour of the view of an Intelligent Creator.

WELLINGTON NOTES.

(RY TPLEORAPH —OWN REPORTKR.)

Wellington, this day.

Decline of tho Maoris.

Mb Ballance has received by letter tho views of an aged Kawbia native as an additiom to the controversy on the subject of the doClino of tho nativos. The old stock arguments ns to the introduction of diseasenmengst tho Maoris by tiio European colonisation of the country are again dished up, but the most peculiar and ambieuous reason advanced ia that of lato years the natives havo been neglected by the parsons, and that, being a race holding sacred things in much request, they have presumably sunk under the pains of neglect. This is n vory Borious charge against tho churches, and ono, I am sure, that only needs referring to to prompt its zealots to gird on their nrmcur, and carry tho truth with renewed vigour into the ebbing Maori lifo. Tho Auckland Caitridges 1 am informed by the Dofence Depart ment that Mr Witney, the Auckland contractor for the supply of colonially manufactured cartridges, will bo prepared to mako his first delivery early next week. Secretary to Exhibition Commissioners. Some days ago I informed you on tho best authority that Mr Koyworth, Assistant Socrotary to the Industrial Exhibition, would receive the appointment of Secretary to tho Commission for tho colonies at tho Indian and Colonial Exhibition. So far as I can ascertain, the matter was practically settled some days ago, but since then much opposition has been shown to the appoint ment of any colonial man, and tho " Post" last Wednesday had a vigorous article on the appointment ot Mr Keyworth, which, it was arguod, was another gross job. At any rate, it is now certain thnt Mr Keyworth is not to bo appointod. So far, perhaps good ; but it is probable no one else will bo sent Home, and that tho Commissioners will employ some ono in London absolutely ignorant of the colony and its resources to fill the posi tion of Socrotary to tho Commission. It would thorofore senm that tho Government is not pesseseod of suilicont backbone evon In so small a mattor as this to act with indopen donco, and appoint a thoroughly represen tative man to assist in promulgating re liable information as to tho advantages of tho colony as a field for settloraont. Evoryono who knows anything about exhibitions knows full well that tho Sscro tary to tho Exocutivo Commit—o is really tho chiof Executive Representative Other colonies aro appointing gcod men to similar positions, whilst tho New Zoa land Government is so inert or ignorant as to passively submit to dictation in a matter of this kind, and tho Commissioners know a littlo of tho business of exhibitions as to allow their chiof assistant to bo a Btrnngor to tho colonies, and a resident at tho antipodos. H.M S. Nolson. It is stated that H.M.S.Nelson, flying the flag of Admiral Tryon, is expected to arrive in Auckland about tho 15th inst. Major Boddam and Lientonaiit Smytho, of tho Torpedo Corps, Imvo beon inntruclod to pro oeod tn Auckland to meet him.

SUNDAY SCHOOL SOCIAL.

A most puccesflful social was hold last evening in tho Borcsford Hall by the senior scholars of tho Sunday-school and tho moinbors of tho choir of Boresford-street Congrogational Church. About 100 per sons wero present. Mr W. Lyons officiated as chairman, and Mr H. Edmonds as M.C. during tho games. A pianoforte duet was oxecuted by tho Misses Hayles in their usual finished stylo. Mr Alston readaselco tion from Dickons, and recited in a touching manner" My Cane-bottomChair,"forboth of which productions ho was loudly applauded. M r Honry recounted, in an amusing mannor, his troubles, consequent upon, asking tbe fateful question of his inamorata whilo up in a balloon. Tho favourito duct, " Whither Shalt Wo Wander, Sister Bear ?'.' was weH delivered by tho Misses Edmonds, while Mr W. Eady elicited a rapturous encore for the song "OurJack'sComollomoToday." Miss Hayles also favoured the audience with a song. At intervals various games were irdulged in, and a most onjoynblo evening was concludod by the wholo company join ing in " Auld Lang Syne." ■ ■ i ■

THE NEW VOLCANIC ISLAND AT TONGA.

«♦ Description of tho Eruption. ?.: Tiik Tonga correspondent of the " Fiji Times " sonde tho following description of tho rocont volcanic eruption in that group, which has already been reported:—"On tho 17th October a number of resident chartered Tugi's schooner, aad started for tho now South Sea Bubblo, and on tho succeeding morning witnessed a epectaclo of such surpassing maßnificionce as mon have seldom been permitted to view. An island of, I believe, not loss than nine miles superficial area was seen by us, which hod been upheaved, presuming the Sandfly's observations to be correct, within four days. On its shore a submarine volcano was belching out a fearful quantity of what I believe to bo steam and salt water, throwing it upwards in a column for a distance, I was told by a competent gentleman, of a mile. To givo an accurate description ia detail of tho column and eruptioa generally is impossible. It is indescribable. At intervals of a minute or two an immense mass of dark-looking matter would bo emitted with enormous velocity from tbe sea close to the shore, and as it booamo exposed to tho sun's rays the column became of dazzling whiteness. When the force propelliag the column was ex pended it commenced to re-discharge a downward showor, tho composition of which it is impossible to accurately speak of, my own opinion, which I may say differs from that of all other observers with whom I have conversed, being that the down-pour was principally composed of condensed steam and soa water. The shapes assumed by the stoam clouds, after tho greatest height had been reached, were inexpressibly boautiful,. and woro fantastic to a degree. While thoso clouds woro still wreathing and curling, anethqr and another column with woll-defined linos would shoot upwards, and tho downpour of liquid, as I suppose, and tho wreathing and curling wag again nnd again renewed. Anyono anxious to conceive any idea of tho appearanco of this eruption will do woll to road all tho accounts which will bo published,'boliove them all,' add on all his own imagination can Buggest,and the sum total will be far less than the truth. whole thing was too beautiful to de scribe, too mighty to exaggerate. The island, named by many, "Eakaogo lei lagi," or Takaogo Island, is situated about 10 or 20 miles to tho north-west of Hoga Jlanbai. I havo not a chart to refor to, but boliovo it is pn the tite of the Culdibras (?) Beef, marked on the chart, and which is some distance south of Tonga and Kao. At night timo flashes of light are soon, but whether proceeding from flames of volcanic firo or from tho electricity gonorated during the condensation of the volumes of steam, will be best known to scientific peopls. When we were near tho island wo saw no traces of any curront, and lnqgh regrot tho timidity of Tugi, who refused to afford us an opportunity to try and effect a landing. Many and various aro the conjectures as to how the island has been formed, and conjectures alone can be made until tho is'and is visited. It looks to mo as though the fissure or fissures through which tho enormous bodies of steam are being forced are not large enough, and as a natural consequence the steam is upheaving the neighbouring crust of the earth. Unless a complete crater is formed, which at present is not the case, I don't think that any rocks of an igneous nature exist on the island. The whole matter is likely to create great interest, and will afford an opportunity to scientific people to ascertain with a tolerable amount of certainty the exact maaner in which theße islands of the Pacific have in past ages been produced. The heighib of the island on the occasion „.of the visit of the Sandfly was from twenty to thirty feet, and when we Baw it on Saturday it appeared to bo from two to three hundred feet. Every time Nature's throes resulted in a discharge of steam, Perhaps, if accurate observations could have been taken, it would have ' been found that the discharge was simultaneous with upheaval. Judging i from the way the island increased j between last Tuesday and Saturday, it is ' probably of far larger dimensions at tho present time. The Sandfly went again , yesterday morning to search for us, every body having thought through our being bo long away (we came back yesterday after- , noon) from Haabai, where we had go_e ' through stress of weather, that we bad tumbled down the volcano, Hor retiflh is looked for with interest," wwpiwj
