THE PRESBYTERIAN UNION DISCUSSION.

(nV TK.LKCKAPU—OWN COKItSaI'OKDHNT.)

CIfKiSTCUURCH, thia day. At tho mooting of tho Goncral Assembly on Friday oVeniug last, the greatest intorost centred in tho union quostion. Roys. Dr. McGregor and Finlayson addressed the Assembly as deputies from Otago, and as it was known that tho long-pending union was to be " burked," there was a largo gathering. Dr. McGregor, speaking of the Union said they had settled that quostion for thumselves, and tho Assombly had tho right to sottlo it for themsolves. Ho said that ho felt, in coming into tho room, rather uncomfortable under the scrutiny of so many oyes, whoso owners wondered how ho did so much to bar the door against the Otago brethren coming into the room as members of a united church. Rev. \V, Gillies, in proposing tho resolution on union, said the position of ait'aira pained him. Ho was the first sob of tho Otago church who had studied for the

ministry. Ho feelingly deprecated Otago rolling itself up in a garmont of self-satis faction and refusing tile marriago. It had no room for extension, and it would have been far nobler had it joined with Christ church, who?o name and banner covered the whole of New Zealand. It was growing, and would grow, leavingOtago a vory littlething. Rev. Mr McKay seconded. He was the only moderator of tho Church in its united state, and ho hoped to see the Church again ono. He felt the whole of tho Presbyterian world would look upon the action of Otago a« an ignoble thing. Dr. McGregor, who sat very uneasy during tho speeches (as well ho might, being ono of tho chief opponents of union), jumped up and deprecated sitting in judgment on the Otago Church. He winced under the remarks, and seemed to feel the many eyes on him. The resolu tion was carriod enthusiastically, amid loud and prolonged applause. Tho Union Com mittee was then discharged, and so ends all hope of union. Tho responsibility and shamo of such an er.ding, as the Rev, Mr McKay said, rests with Otago.

ANOTHER FIRE AT PAPATOI TOI.

Mk Thomas Koheks, well-known as the respected host of tho Criterion Hoteli Otahuhu, for a number of yoara, but lately a farmer on an extensive scale at Papatoitoi, has again been the victim of a fire, our readers will remember that a man named •Fidjjott, was sentenced to 10 years, for sotting fire to Mr Rogers' stacks, when over ono thousand pounds worth of wheat, otc, was destroyed. A few months since a house insured for £500 was destroyed by riro, but tho money was not paid, owing to tho insurer not giving notice to tho com pany of tho house boing uninhabited. Early yesterday another fire took ploco in a largo iron building about HO feet by 30, containing an immense lot of valuable proporty, nothing in it being saved. A steam engine, boiler, buggy, spring trap, carts, waggonettes, piles of new sacks, circular cawing machine, and 100 head of poultry being destroyed. Tho property was insured for £200, the estimated loss being £800. Mr Rogers has tho sympathy of all in this continued chain of misfortuno. There is no clue as yet to the origin of tho fire.

A charge of violent assault on a wife occupied the attention of the Police Court today. Arthur Dewson was charged with violently assaulting his wife on the 20th instant. Sergeant Pratt conducted. Har riet Martha Dewson deposed that her hus band had violently assaulted her on several occasions, and especially on Saturday when she believed he would have murdered her had it not been for Mr VVaymouth, who caught his arm and prevented the fatal plunge with a carpenter's gouge. The drink was the curse of the family. Dr. C. Emmerson Tennont deposed to beiDg sent for. He found the woman in a bruised condition. There was a knife wound in the side, another in the forehead, caused, he should say, from the heel of a boot. Tho woman was covered with wounds and bruiseß. He dressed the wounds. John Waymouth, boatbuilder, deposed that ho called at the house to see Mr Charles Fry on boating bosiness. Heard screems and saw prisoner beating his wife. He was about to strike her with tho gauge, when ho stopped him, and threw the tool over the fence. Constable Christie produced a piece of scantling 3x2, with which Dewson beat his wife. The Bench regarded the assault as dastardly, admitting of no excuse, and sentenced prisoner to two months' imprisonment with hard labour, and at the expiration of his term to find sureties, himself in £20 and two others in the same amount, to keep the peace for throe months.

Mr J. E. Kitts, advance agent for Pol lard's Lilliputian Opera Bouffe Company, has arrived in Auckland, and is busied with arrangements for tho inauguration of a season of 24 night at the Opera House on Monday next, 2nd March.
