Tho present value of mortgages showed an incroaso of £6,4(.8. The amount to tho credit of investors also had increased by £7,'_3S. They would also sco that a dividend of S por cont. had been doclared, also a bonus of 3 per cent. Tho member ship had also incroased considerably, There woro in Now Zoaland 4:. similar sociotios to their own, and ho was glad to find that thoir Society occupied the fifth position. Tho income of thoir Society was also sixth on the list. Ho thought that thoro could bo no doubt that tho Socioty was doing a useful work by bringing togother various classes of investors, and also those who wishod to borrow sums for building purposos. Thoy must sco that thoro woro advantages for all connected with the Socioty. He was also glad to stato that most persons who had borrowed money during the yoar had boon ablo to pay back Iho amounts borrowod.

Mr Kidd secondod tho motion. Ho folt sure that all woro satisfied with tho work ing of the Society in the past year. The report and balanco-sheot woro thon adopted unanimously.

Harbour Board and Freezing Company.

The Frozon Meat Company's application for loavo to sub-let a portion of their re claimed land provoked opposition at tho Harbour Board yesterday afternoon, and eventually was adjourned. Mr Dovore opposod vory strongly tho leavo askod by the Company to sublet a portion of their re claimed ground. Thoy had acquired from tho Board in an extraordinary way and at *ho absurd rontal of £300 per annum fivo acres of land in tho hoort of tho city, osten sibly for tho purposes of their business. If thoy had moro than thoy required, ond this application showed it to be so, the surplus should bo surrendered to tho Board on payment by it of the cost of re clamation with interest thereon. The Board should certainly not permit tho Company to enter tho public market in competition with thorn. He proposed that the application should be declinod. Mr D. Goldie seconded. The Mayor sug gested tho postponement of the matter pending the production of the whole of the original correspondence. Mr Devoro accepted the suggestion. Mr J. M. Clark advocated tho gran* ,ng of the application, and pointed to the good which the Company was doing to the farming com munity. Mr Aickin, whilo thinking the Company had not acted wisely in the past, yet in consideration of the importance of the industry it was promoting, and tbo fact that the Company had throughout acted in a bona fide manner, ho strongly favoured tho granting of the application. Mr Niccol supported the proposition for the postponement of the question. It was then resolved to defer the consideration of the matter till tho next meeting.

At the morning service of this mission at St. Sepulchro's yesterday thoro wore 22 communi cants.

AUCKLAND PRESBYTERY.

Tin: following is a continuation of our roporl from yesterday !—

The AVon-ale Church.—The Rev. Mr Mackay moved, and tho Rev. Mr Run ciman seconded, "That the call of tho abovo church to tho Rev, A. McKenzie be sustained by tho Presbytery,"—The motion was carried unanimously. —The Rev. Mr McKenzie then expressed his willingness to accept the chargo.-On tho motion of Mr Runciman, seconded by Mr Macnicol, it was resolved that it bo a recommendation to tho Church Extension Committee that a grant of £30 be made to tlio above church. -Mr Thos. Norrie was appointed to read tho edict, and it was decided that tho induction tako placo on Thursday, tho 17th, at 3 p.m., the Rev. Mr Steele to preach, the Moderator to in duct, and Mr Macnicol to address theminis tor ond Mr McCallum the peoplo. The Presbytery Sitting. — A depu tation consisting of Messrs Reid, McNab, and Heath waited upon the Presbytery to pray that the sitting of that body bo again moved back to St. Andrew's Church.—Mr McNab spoke in support of the claims of St. Andrew's Church as the most central position for the sitting of tho Presbytery. He also referred to the ancient claims of tho church through boing the senior church of tho city.—Mr John Reid also spoke in favour of tho removal of the Presbytery back again to St. Andrew's Church.—Mr Thompson expressed his pleasure that tho people of St. Andrew's were eager to keep up ancient privileges of the church, the Presbytery having sat there for tho last thirty years.—Tho Roy. Mr Monro said that ho could not but admire tho spirit that had brought the commission presentthatday. Hohadbeeninfavourofthe removal to St. James's Church because it was more convenient.—Tho Rev. Mr Macky stated that ho did not think it much improvement in sitting in the present building. He then moved "That the Presby tery thank tho deputation for thoir attend ance, and that the Presbytery take their request into consideration at thoir next sit ting."—Mr Thompson, as the oldest deacon of tho church, seconded tho motion —Mr McNab stated that tho deacons of St. An jrow's woro prepared to use their utmost endeavours to make the Presbytery com fortable.—Tho Rev. Mr Macnicol said that, as the pastor of St. James's Church, ho had folt surprise that the place of meeting of the Presbytery had boon changed, but it was not his place to refuse that body the use of his church. For 17 years ho had walked to St. Andrew's Church, and was prepared to do bo, if necessary, for tho next 17 years.—The motion was oarriod unanimously, and the deputation then withdrew. The Howick Church.— The Rev. Mr Macnicol stated that ho had written to the Socretary of the above church and to Mr Bell regarding tho trouble that had arisen, but ho had not yofc received a reply. This was probably due to the serious illness of the latter gentleman. Hamilton Chubch.—The Moderator re ported that the commission of the Presbytery had met at Hamilton and inducted the Rev. Mr Boyd, the new minister, in accordance with the instructions of the Presbytery. The Train mo of Students. —Mr Buchanan, in bringing forward his motion re requesting tho General Assembly to attend to tho training of students for the ministry, said that it must be a source of anxiety to them all tosoethattheirchurches werecolder and not so flourishing as others. He would like to see young men trained in the colony filling the pulpits of tho colony. At present they wero dependent up»n the other churches, and were compelled to have ministore who for some reason or other had to leave Homo. (Laughter.) He was speiking seriously, for thoy must know that young ministers at Home often re ceived four or five calls upon leaving the College. Besides, young men from Home were not always the best fitted to look after country churches. He thought that the Church should take chargo of the train ing of local young men, and he believed that by this means the whole tone of tho Church would be raised.— Tho Rev. Mr Munro seconded the motion, as he would like to hear the matter dis cussed iv the General Assembly, because it might not be generally known that tho Rev. Dr. Salmond had offered to visit the Northern churches and teach the students if tho Assembly would guarantee his travelling expanses, but the offer had been declined. — Tho Rev. Mr Norrio said Professor Salmon.1 has also offered to train young mon free of charge who wero willing to come to him. —Tho Roy. Mr Steolo supposed that Mr Buchanan was speaking humorously whon ho referred to ministers who were com pelled to leave the old country. He might Bay that tho ministers who came to tho colony did moro work than most of those who remained at Home, He considered that the diiliculty appeared to be to get students, and tho funds for thoir maintenance. What thoy wanted was a sound secular education, and the theology would not be a great trouble- Mr Buchanan explained that he had no wish to cast aspersion on the ministers of their church. They wero a lino body of mon, but thoy could not live for over, and what he wanted was to provide men to fill thoir placos,—Tho motion was carried un animously. The Hamilton Chuuuh.—An application was received from tho above church for a grant fromtho Church Extension Fund.—On the motion of Mr Munro, seconded by Mr Mncky, it was resolved that whilo pathising with the request, the Presbytery wished to see the state of the funds before making any grants. St. Peter's Church Building Fund.— The Rev. Mr Monro, on behalf of the Roy. Mr Runciman, tabled the report of the donations to the abovo fund.—Received, and resolved that the report bo printed.

PRESBYTERIAN CITY MISSION.

Tub first annual meeting of tho Presby terian City Mission was held at St. James'a Hall last evening, in the form of a fruit soiree. There was a largo attendance, re presenting the various churches. There were two long tables covered with refresh ments, and the platform, upon which was a choir from various churches, under the leadership of Mr Edmonds, Mr W. Baxter presiding at tho harmonium. The Rev. R. F. Macnicol occupied the chair, and several other ministers were also present, including the R-vs. Sommerville, Irwin, and Norrie. After singing and prayer, the Chairman explained that the meeting was tho first held in connection with the Presbyterian City Mission. When . the mission was started tho church people generally felt the importance of some such work. A great many had arrived in Auckland from time to time who had not connected themselves with the Church in which they wero brought up, Ho would not go into the reasons ; Buffico it to say that a great many who were professedly Presbyte rians did not become connected with that Church, and many had not entered the House of God since they landed upon our shores. The efforts put forth by the City Mission ary (Mr McPherson) had tended towards bringing to light no perceptible increase in the number of non-church going people, although tho population was steadily increasing. One object of the present meet ing was to got the audience, as representing several congregations, to support the mis sionary in his labours, and bring under the influence of the Church such as woro without tho Church or in negligouce of tho means of grace.

Report.—Mr T. Macky road the report of j tho first year's work. Tho Committeo, through this medium, expressed their gratitude to Almighty God for tho measure of success that had att'onded tho efforts of the Mission in extending the Church's use fulness, although they had experienced a measure of disappointment because of the want of interest among the people generally, through the want of funds, which told sevorely against progress, although a groat effort had boen put forth and a good deal done. The Committeo wero satisfied that the City Missionary had unwearied energy and tact in carrying on tho work entrusted to him. MrMcPherson had visited different districts, including Parnell and Newmarket, in search of thoso who had fallen away from the Church. The number of his visits averaged 200 per month. Ho had visited the Old Men's Refuge and tho Old Women's Refuge every month, and held week-night mission meetings at Parnell, Newmarket, and Karangahape. Tho latter had boon given up, Parnell was very satisfactory, and Newmarket encouraging. Where it was found possible, passenger ships and steamers were visited on thoir arrival, and assistance and advice given to strangers. The mis sionary had also visited the Hospital, and ho had officiated at funerals. Aa to the results, it could be said that the Mwsion had been successful to a cousidorable degree. He had discovered some hundreds of lapsed Presbyterians, and had got them to 'join some ono or other of the city churches, and he had also brought in many children to the babbath-echools. Tho sick and distressed of their own and othor congregations had beon assisted along with tbe goodjwork done by tho Benevolent Socioty. In conclusion, the report asked the audience for theft,

Street Calls.

(To the Editor.) Sib,—On reading the letter of "Sufferer" in last night'sSTAßlcametothecondn-t, that perhaps the most he suffers fromis selfishness. Does he not consider _iat the persons to whom he refeis have theirlivino to get, and is it not bstt_r''to oarn in honert living in any fashion in preference to gaining one dishonestly,: even thopgh it does jar upon the over-sensitive nerwiol one or two sufferers ? Let him put time. in their place. Think of the many miteo! weary tramping in the hot, broiling m perhaps . going the whole''length ol i street without selling anything, endcoo sider if he would like to change places with them. _ He may be sure they would not Jo it if a living could be earned in an eitfa manner, for often it is adopted as a last «■ source, being the only means of keeping tin wolf from the door. I think there tit quite enough by-laws now, but beloro call ing upon the Council to stop the vending of goods in the street, I think it w.nlJl_ well to agitate against street pwnrlenti another class : I mean those whogo.ko.l at all hours of tbo night, singing dr_k songs, and making night Hdeous with Mi■ howlings.—Yours, &c, W.H.C.
