(2) Letter from Secretary Board of Education, asking Council to lease allotments in Howe-street for school purposes: Committoo regrot that they cannot recommend Council to accodo to tho application, the ground boing now surveyed to bo leased by public auction. In reference to this latter clause, Cr. Cooper considered that in view of the increasing populousness of tho wostorn side of tho city, and tho growing necessity for educational rosorvos, tlio Council, in tho public interests, should grant tho Education Board's requost. He, therefore, moved as an amondmont, "That the allotment referred to in tho Education Board's letter bo not offerod for eale." — Cr. Aicbin seconded, urging that tho Education Board should bo allowed tho ueo of the allotment on Buffor anoo.—Cr. Burns did not see that thoy were called upon to bo gonerous with tho ratopayors' property,—Cr. Crowthor, look ing to tho inclination shown at Wellington to saddle tho local bodies with additional burdons, feared that thoy might soon havo to maintain tho city schools. In view of that contingency, ho considered that thoy should make provision in timo for oduca tional requiromonts. Tho Howe street building and property were already too (■mall. Thoro woro about 3,0C0 pupils in tho city schools, and tho present buildings wero hardly udoquato to tho accommodation required. — Cr. Garratt supported tho amondmont for tho roason that ho objected to tho massing of tho childron in two or three largo schools, thus multiplying tho chances of disease and ill health,—Tho Mayor Baid that, as it was not proposed to loaso tho allot;] ent, tho amendment would answer for tho present. The amondmont was agreed to, and the roport as amended was tbon adopted. Tenders. — Tenders wero recoivod aa follows: —For excavation of Wynyardstreet embankment: W. Osborno, £4.'? 6a 8d ; Win.

Baypield.—Re Ernest Keatley's com plaint concerning tho datnago done to his property in consequence of the drainago of Bayfield being taken through it, tho Engi neer reported that a largo natural gully ox tendod through tho complainant's land, and it served as nutlet for the whole of Bayfield lying betu^.i Wharf Road and Mason's foundry fenco. When tho streets were formed to permanent levels a portion of tho drainage would be carried past thia gully;

but it mußt, of necessity, from the conbgur ation of the adjoining land, always tako a considerable portion of the drainage of tho locality. The laying of a drain-pi jo through tho gully would not .at present bo any public benefit, but would bo n con veuienco to Mr Kcutloy. Tho cost of a, «■ inch pipe-drain would bo about £110 : TliO rnnttor was referred to tho Streets Com mitteo to coneidor and report. . . , Loak Accobnt WoBKB.-A minutely particularised list was submitted of_ woiks executed by day labour, &O.) which are chargeable agbinst the Loan Account, fhe following is a general summary :-EMt Ward £3,329 8s 2d ; North Ward, £1,240 9a 7d; South Ward, £2,450 Os 9d; lon sonby Ward, £1,168 2a 7d ; Karangahapo Ward £1,439 3a 9d ; Urafton Ward, £535 17k lid.

Tho Mayor moved tho adoption of tho report.—l'r. Crowthor proposod as an amondment, and Cr.

Street Levels. - In proceeding to fix tho levels of (jeorgo, Costley, Elizaboth, Fern lcif,'h, aud Kylo streets (Ponsonby), tho Council was informed that somo twenty objections had boon received to tho levels as planned by tho Engineer. Most of the objectors were present. The names of tho objectors woro as follows-. — Messrs E. Diviani, Elizaboth-ftreet; Michael Dug gan, Ryle street; Mrs J.

Tho Council adjourned at 10 30 p.m.

FEMALE SERVANTS FOR NEW ZEALAND.

On this subject our London correspondent writes under date 10th Sopt. as follows: — The " Liverpool Mercury " in tho course of an oxhanstivo article on the question of female emigration, says there aro thousands of pereonablo young women in this country who would bo very willing to go out to the British colonies if they could socuro tho moans of paying their own passago, utid had a proepect of cither employment, or a homo of their own on reaching their desti nation. Why is it (tho "Mercury " wants to know) that colonies, like Now Zealand for instanco, which acknowledge a lack of good domestic servants, offer so few in ducements to fctnalo emigrants? Occasion ally a batch or two aro sunt out, but each year they seem to become fowcr and farther betwoon. Wo have- had placed before us copy of correspondence on the snmo subject botvvcen Mr T. B. Hannaford, of this city, tho Colonial Treasurer, and lion, Mr Ballance. In his lottcr to Sir Julius Vogol, Mr Hannaford states that during his '22 years' exporietioo us a labour agent he novor knew of a moro growing need ior genuine- female domestics than exists at present; and he expresses his ability, with the aid of tho Government, to supply this want by arranging through a London agent for an unlimited supply of first-class servants. Theee he would have bound by agreement to serve for a particular torm at stated rates—their employer being equally bound to keep them during tho term of en gagement. He would only ask the Govern ment to pay the passages, tlio ser vants themsolvos paying the commis sion of emigration and immigration agents. This letter having been referred to Hon. J. Ballanco, the following reply has been forwardod :— "Wellington. 7lh October, 18S5. "ToT. B. Hannafoi U, Ksq.: sir, — I have tho honour.by direction of iho lion, the Minister for Jnuiiigrittion, to acknowledge ilio receipt of your loner of 28th ultimo, mWnsscrt to Sir Julius Vogel, in which sou proposo a Bohemo for tho introduction of Biußle woini-n puitublo for domestio servieo. In reply, lam to stato that Mr Ballance regrois the funds placed at his (iicposal for immigration purposes will not admit of jour proposal being entertained.—l have, &c, H. J. H. Shott, Under Secretary. Mr Hannaford, in a letter to tho Editor, says Ministers must take him for a fool in expecting him to believe that no funds are available for tho purpose when £30,000 wero voted for immigration. This is not so clear, for if we understand aright, tho vote was for nominated immigration only. As Mr Ballance will be here shortly, Mr Han naford would do well to urge tho subject upon him personally. It doos seem a pity that, with the demand here and the supply at Homo, means cannot be found for equal ising matters to tho benefit of all con cerned.

DIOCESAN SYNOD.

AFTERNOON SITTING.

Thk Diocesan Synod resumod yo^torday afternoon at four o'clock, Bishop Cowio providing. Pro Font: —Clergy: Dr. Webber (Bishop of Brisbane), Yen. Archdeacon Clarke, Yen. Archdeacon Dudley, Yen. Archdeacon Maunsoll, Yen. Archdeacon Willie, Revs. Baker, Boler, Burrows, i^i'dor, Cokayne Frith, J. K. Davis, Farley, !i,.uld, Haselden, 0. R. Hewlett, Hill, Katterna, Marshall, Nelson, Phillips, Pur chas, Russell, Smallfield, Tobbs, Walpole. Laity: Messrs W. H. Brown, Calvert, Oamoron, Clark, Clayton, Cochrane, Crispe, E win^ton, T. Hall, Hamilton, Haultain, Heather, Hesketh, Hills, Hughes, Jackson, Kensington, Larking, Lawronco, Luke, Nolan, Pierce, Rawlings, Rice, A. K. Taylor, Watts, and White. Inspector of Suxday-sohools.—Arch deacon Dudley moved, "That the Synod do go into Committee to consider the re port of the Committee appointed to ascer tain what provision can be made for the payment of a Diocesan Inspector of Sunday - schools."—This was carried. Cobnol Huultnin was appointed to the chair, and read the following report of the Com mittee :—" Your Committee report that, in their opinion, provision for the payment of an Inspector of Sunday-schools can only bo made in the meanwhile by subsidy from all the parochial districts of the diocese in pro portion to their respective means and re quiroments, aided by an annual grant from the income of the Diocese Trust. Thoy suggested that an income of £120 (viz £100 stipend, r.nd £20 travelling ex penses) should be raipt 1 for next year as follows:-St. Paul's, :..'.; St. Mary's (3 schools), £7; St. Matthew's, £5; St. Sopulchre's (4 achools), £8 ; All Saint 3', £5; St. Mark's £5; Waimate Archdeaconry, £5 ; Waikato ditto, £5 ; Taranaki ditto, £5; Thames, £4 ; Devonport, £3 ; St. Thomas's, £2 ; Onehunga, £2 ; Epiphany, £1 ; Ota huhu, £1 ; St. Luke's, £1 ; Howiok, £1 ; Papakura, £1 ; Wairoa, £1; Bombay, £1 ; Ellerslie, 10s; Whangarei, 10s; Coro mandel, 10s ; and Epson, Ls. Total, £70 ; Diocesan Trust, £50 : Grand total, £120. While regarding the foregoing as a pro visional arrangement, your Committee are strongly of opinion that as soon as possible the Inspector should bo placed in a position to devote his whole time and energies to the work of Sunday-school organisation and inspection. — B. T. Dudley, Chairman." —archdeacon Dudley said that it was highly necessary that this matter should be at tended to, but tho question of stipend had to be considered. Under these circum stances it was thought advisable to appoint a clergyman located somewhere near the city. They thought that it would be easy to supply iiis place from time to time by other clergymen in the city, The Rev. Mr Hill had signified his willingness to assist whonevor required. They thought that £50 might be obtained from the Diocesan Trust, as some leases would shortly fall in which would considerably increase its re sources. The Committee then went through thoparochialdistriots,andfeltsuro that some thing could be obtained fromthem. In some parishes there were three or four Echools, and consequently they could fairly be asked to contribute something more than tho others, Ho might state that he had been told in one instance that their parish had been assessed at too low a figure. He was glad of this, for such sentiments would enable tho gontleman who was to take the matter in hand to enter upon his labours with more spirit. If they went into thia in a goneroue spirit it would assist the work materially. The work needed doing.—Mr Piorca pointed out that the income of tho Diocopan Trust Fund was really anticipated for the noxt threeyears. During the next fow months £450 would require to be ex pended on various works, amongst which would bo a mortuary church at the Waitakerei Cemetery.—Arctideacon Dudley suid that if there was pressing work needing attending to, it should be dealt with specially from any funds that were avail ublo.—Mr Pierce eaid that he would like to hear the opinion of the clergy upon the question of a Sunday-school Inspector, but he feared thatthero were many teachers who would think that they could teach the In spector himself, and would feel very jealous of any interference. —Mr Ewington said that, although their clergy devoted ten timea moro labour to the Sunday-schools, their schools were still behind other denomina tions. Even in the little school at Alexan dra-streot, £1 per week was paid to a lady to visit the children. He thought that surely their Church could afford to support a School Inspector.—Mr NelsoD eaid that he could not shut his eyes to tho difficulties dovolting upon the Inspector. He could only visit each school about once a year, and tho question that arose was whether the results would be worth the expenditure.—Mr Haselden said that, for ono, his school was prepared to pay more titan the amount at which they were assesped in the roport.—Rev. Mr Farley intimated that they could easily pay three times the amount that they of Otahuhu wwo sot down for.—Rev. Mr Tebbs said that he did not think an inspector could do much towards improving tho state of the Suuday-schools from one visit per annum. He was doubtful if the results would be equal to tho expenditure. Still he could say that all the town clergy would welcome the visits of the inspector.—The Rev. Mr Walpolo said that what they wanted was someone that was a specialist in Sunday school work. Ho would welcome with gladness any inspector who could afford information upon Sunday-school work. It would, however, be necessary to see that no invidious comparison should be drawn betweon the variouß Sunday schools. - Archdeacon Willis expressed astonishment that town parishes should fear how to pay a sum of not more than £7 per annum. He wished that they would show a more catholic spirit.—Mr Rice contended that, if the Government re quirod inspectors in day schools, surely they were equally nocossary in Sunday-schools. Unless these were attended to, he feared that in tho future their ministers would find themselves preaching to a beggarly array of empty benches. - The Bishop eaid that the namo of inspector should not frighten any ono. Be would not appoint a man who wculd be inquisitorial. His duty would be to encourage teachers and give them hints how to teach. There was scarcely any definite Christian teaching given in some of their Sunday-schools. If any particular parish thought that they could not got £5 out of the inspector, then let them give it for the benefit of tho country schools. For himself, he intended to give a subscription equal to the highest required from any one school. —Tho Rev. J. K. Davis said that a Catholic prelate had said, " Give us tho children of a country, and it will become Catholic." fit. feared that if the children were not looked after, Mr Rice's prophecy would be fulfilled Archdeacon Dudley moved " That this Com mitteo recommend that thia Synod do re spectfully request the Bishop to appoint an Inspcctcr of Sunday-schools."—Carried.— Archdeacon Dudley then moved that the Diocesan Trust be requested to contribute £50 towards the stipend of such inspector. —Can ied. —Archdeacon Dudley a'so prq posed that a further sumof notlessthan £70 bo raised by assessment in the various parishes and districts in the diocese, such assessment to ba made by the Standing Committee.—The Committee then reported progress, and the Synod resumed, wheii the above recommendations were adopted with the following addition, proposed by Mr Heather : "And that the Standing Com mittee be requested to apply to all parishes and parochial districts, with a view of rais ing a further Him of at least £100."—Arch deacon Clarke then moved that the Sj nod continue sitting until tho business was com pleted. —This was carried unanimously. An Act or Courtesy.—Archdeacoi, Dudley moved that "This Synod wol comes heartily tho Revs. C. Boding ton and G. E. Mason, tho Missioners who at tho invitation of our Bishop have come from England to work for a time in thi.~ diocofe, and earnestly prays that through God's blessing on their labours the wholi spiritual life of tho diocese may bo revivei and deepened."—Several speakers bore high testimony to the powers of the Missionen and tho good work performed by them after which tho motion waa adopted unani mously.

■ Church Lands.-Rev. J. Farley moved, "Thattho trustoes of the Diocesan General Trust Board be recommended to give a more detailed report of tho several trust lands tr> this Synod at tho next general session— t.e., where situated, the area, tho torms of lease, if Jet, and tho annual rental received." He pointed out that thero wero many pieces of land belonging to the diocese that were bringing in no revenue, and, in fact, were almost lost. He feared lest in timo the Go vernment might stop in and by some means take their lands from them. The' motion was adopted,—Tho Bishop stated that it might be information to those present that thero was already prepared, and would shortly bo published in the "Church Gazetto," a full account of the church lands That some of them were not valuable was proved by the fact that 600 acres at Raglan wag leased at an annual rental of 5a ps>r annum.

Kaikoura, and ship Braemar, of the first portion of their NEW SPRING AND SUMMER STOCK personally selected, as we have previously intimated, by our Mr. Caughev during the prolonged depression existing in the British and Continental Manufacturing Districts. _ g Mr. Caughey draws special attention to the fact that (besides securing at the end of the season some wonderful bargains in job lines in Novelties and jS Plain Goods in various Departments, some of which are now on sale, with others to open in a few days) his visit Home has resulted in our being placed in a position to purchase in most cases direct from the leading manufacturers on the same terms as the most extensive colonial importer. *t One important result of this will be that our Customers may now expect to P SAVE AT LEAST THE WAREHOUSE PROFIT, while we are enabled to sell , FOE CASH AT BONA FIDE WHOLESALE PRICES. We confidently assert that when the public compare the New Goods and present prices with those hitherto paid to ourselves and elsewhere, they will find the above statement fully borne out. The Goods already to hand comprise a choice variety of Novelties in all Departments. DRESS DEPARTMENT, New Dress Fabrics in the Canvass and Cameline Cloths in beautiful effects; Stripes and Checks, with plain goods to match. Zephyrs, Crepe Foules, Chevrons, Tricotine, Nun's Cloths, Beiges, Soudan Frise, Coloured Cashmeres, Prints and Washing Fabrics in bewildering variety. MOURNING. Our well-known values in Black Erench Cashmeres and Merinos have been far excelled by the New Goods to hand from a leading French Manufacturer of Black Goods, and are dyed a special shade of Blue-Black with the best indigo dye, which gives them a rich bloom and permanent colour. One line of Black French Merinos, 44 inches wide, at as. 6d. per yard, will be pronounced surprising value. MILLINERY. In Straw Goods we have been fortunate to secure a full assortment of the p popular Home Fashions, including the "Princess Beatrice," "Sunbeam, "Mysotis," "Lady Churchill," "Chic," and other shapes. By next direct steamer we will receive an addition to this Department in an assortment of *• Handsomely Trimmed Millinery and other Novelties. _ LACES, RIBBONS, In all the newest designs; EMBROIDERIES in all colours 5 HOSIERY in immense variety and extraordinary value.
