THE DEATH OF GENERAL GORDON.

Boferonoe3 from Yesterday's Pulplta.

The life and character of Genoral Gordon formed the subject of comment in many city pulpits yesterday, anil the large audiences that assembled testified to the deep interest felt in the fato of the hero. Wo append brief reports. St. David's Proubytorlan Church.

The Rev. T. Mackenzio Frauer, M.A., de livered rt thorough discourse last oxoning at St. David's Presbyterian Church on " Gene ral Gordon," taking his toxt from Hebrews, chapter 11, verses 37 to 10. The church was comfortably crowded, and tho utmost nt:«ntion was paid to the preachor, who was evidently well-acquainted with tho charac ter of Gordon, his manliness, and thostirring events of his life. Mr JTraser said lie was n:t going to argue tho quostion—" Can a Christian bo a soldier?" but it was ovidont from the livosofCol.Gardener.Hodley Vicars, and others, that a soldior can be a Christian. Tho preacher sketched tho principal events of Gordon's military lifo, his labours of henovolonco in tho intorvals of warfare, his disinterestedness, and disregard of money, hia particular Cnlvinistic religion, that all OVfjnts are foreordained—his fearlessness cf doitb, and devotional belief in a personal God.

Borosford Btroot Conprrogational Church,

jit tho Bereaford-ntroet Congregational Church last ovening, tho pastor, I'.ev. J. liobwtson, M.A., preached an eloquent and interesting discourse on tho life and death of General Gordon. There was n crowded attendance. Appropriate muslo was rendered by tho ohoir, including "Blest tho Departed," from Spohr's "Judgmont," and "Tho Dead March in Saul." The rov. gontleman cliose for his text, Proverbs XXII., eh. VI., "A ■goodnumo in rather to bo chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold," A brief sketch of General Gordon's life was given, tho many ex cellences of hU Christian character being alluded to. Tho preacher mentioned the fact that he had named one of his children after the uuparted hero, remarking that the fact that the boy bore tho name of auch a peat good man should deter him in future life from committing acts of meanness.

Nownmrlcot Wosloyau Church. From the words of Hobrews XI chapter 4t_versa, "Ho boing dead yot spoaketh," Itev. X, Bavin preached an ablo discourse in tho above church on Sunday ovoning. He traced Gonorol Gordon's career from boyhood, and showed how his exceptionally grand character had boon formed. Ho pointed out especially that Gordon was characterised by firm and unswerving faith fulness to God. Ho urged upon hid noarorp ihe desirability of imitating Gordon's noble (unselfishness and devotion to duty.

Other Chui'ohos.

Key. Mr Tebbs, in preaching at St. Matthew's Church on " Liberty, Fraternity, and Equality," alluded to General Gordon's death, Uov. R. J3urrow« made a reference to the same subject in the courso of his morning sermon at St. Paul's ; Rev. Alex Eoid made feeling allusion to the supposed death of the devoted General; and, in fact, Injevery place of worship reference was made to the engrossing topic, cither in the sermon or prayers.

MELANCHOLY FATALITY.

Horfdont at tho Public Baths.

A yoosq man named Simon O'Brion, aged 18 years, a son of Mr James O'Brien, of the well-known contracting firm of Larking and O'Biien, met his death under painful cir cumstances on Saturday last. It appears .that about 3.30 in the afternoon, tho deceased, accompanied by Mr F. Nash, •went to the city saltwater baths for the jiuipose of baviDg a dip. The tido was low at tfce time, and there iwaa not more than 4 feet fl Inches of water. Despite the warn ing of hie scmpanion, O'Brien dii/od from the eastern platform of tho bath. Shortly after hit conspanion was horrified to see O'Brien rise to #ie surface and his head under tho water, flis condition showed that b* xaast have Btaiek his head againßt the hsttom of the bath with great violence. O'Brien was speedily got out, and conveyed in a senseless condition to his weidenoe is Hardinge-stroot, whero Dr. RMiardHon wes Boon in attendance and prescribed the aumal remedies.

DR. BOND AND THE HOSPITAL COMMITTEE.

Application for a Good Inquiry,

At the meeting of the Hospital Committee this afternoon, the following letters from Dr. Bond, and tho Hospital Medical S*»ff were submitted :— " Auckland Hospital. H. N, Garland, Esq., Secretary, Hospital Committee. Sir,-— i. have tho honour to ucknowlodgothe receipt of tho letter of the Committee, dated 9th of February, 1885, forwardod, by you. Feeling tho decision arrived at by tho com mittee to be unjust, and formed upon a very informal and imperfect inve»tigntionj[of tho charges mado, I have appli :d to the Colonial Secretary to havo a Commission appointed to make a full and impartial enquiry into tho charges upon which tho resolution in passed in adopting this course, I beg to state that I am not acting in any spirit of opposi tion to tho oommittoe, but feel that wero I to comply with their request and to send in my resignation I mijjht sooil to admit tho validity of tho charges mado ag. i.iat mo.—l have, etc., Joux H. 14. Bono, House Surgeon." " Auckland, February 11,1855. To tho Committee of Management, Auckland Hospital. Gontleinon, — Wo, the under signed members of tho Hospital Medical Staff regrot to hoar tho decniion arrived at by you in connection with the chargos against tho Honso Surgeon. Wo feel that thu very gravo chargos brought against Dr. ISond havo not boon proved, and boforo auch a serious atop as requesting his resignation was taken, tho opinion of tho noting mombora of tho medical ataff should havo been asked as to his conduct towards thorn, and his treatment of patients under thoir caro. Wo furthor consider that Dr. Richardson was not justified in publishing the letter written to tho Committee in March, 18S4, which was at the time satisfactorily dealt with. As wo have no causo to complain of (.he manner in which Dr. Bond attends to his duties, wo think it only fair to him to express our opinion of the ollicient manner in which he has ful filled them. Dr. Haines, tho absent mem ber of the staff, gave expression to similar feelings of satisfaction beforo leaving Auck. land.—Wo havo, etc., Joux H. Hoopkk, A. O. Kmout, J. C. MaoMullan, Richard Coom."
