Willis tabled tho report of tho Committee appointed to examine the parochial ret urn a for ISS-1, and on his motion it was read. Tho report stated that tho Committee had examined the parochial returns for tho archdeaconries of Waikatoand Waimate. Owing to a mis take, no forms had boon sent, to Taranaki, and consequcritly no returns had been reraived thoiofrom. Tho Auckland Arch deaconry returns were incomplete, soverul not having beoti sent in, and ethers fur nished too lato for examination. A com parison of tho Waikato and Waitnato returns for 1883 and ISB4 showed a general decrease. The Committee suggested that tho Synod should direct tho returns to bo sont in earlier, and that a summary of tho same should be published in the "Church Gazotto'' prior to tho annual meeting of tho Diocesan Synod.— Upon tho motion of Archdeacon Willis, seconded by Mr Rice, this suggestion was adoptod. Cathedral Liukahy.—Tho President said that he had not been able to prepare tho usual report on the stato of tho Cathe dral Library, but ho had prepared a list of missing books, and it would bo noticed that it was a rather long list—Sevoral suggestions were offered by Mr Pierce, Rev. C. M. Nelson, and others for tho speedy recovery of tho books. Archdkaconal Visitation. —Mr Snelling asked, " Whether any, and if any, what steps have beon taken to £,ive effect to reso lution 15 of tbo Diocesan Synod, in regard to archdoaeonal- visitation in tho several church districts of the diocoso."—The Pre sident said that ho was sorry to roply that nothing had yot been dono. Sunday-school Board.—Mr Kensington moved, "That tho Synod do now proceed to elect members as a Sunday-school Board for tho diocese.—Mr Ewington seconded. —This waa agreed to, and on tho motion of Mr H. Crispe, tho Rev. P. S. Smallfiold, Captain Clayton, and Messrs Ewington, W. H, Brown, and Kensington were reelected members of tho Sunday-school Board

General Ciicuch Fund.—Archdeacon Willis moved, "That a Committee be ap pointed to consider the question of establish ing a General Church Huiid for thisdioceso, similar in general plan to that begun some years sinco in tho dtcceso of Wellington ; to make inquiries as to how and with what success such schemes aro worked in other dioceses, to sit during tho recess, and to roport to the next Synod. Such Commit tee to bo appointed by ballot " He poinlod out that tho Wosloyuns and Presbyterians had already dono something inthis direction, while in thodiocesoof Wellingtensucliafuiid had been started 10 or 11 yoars ago. lt was a most important matter, Tho greatest dillieulty in cotinoction with it, and one hard to overcome, was that tho town parishes to somo oxte.it would havo to bo suerilicod to thoso of tho country. Still ho was only asking for a committoo to sit during the recess, and roport to next Synod.—Tho Roy. P. Walsh, in seconding tho motion, said that tho allusion to Wel lington was unfortunate, as the working of the fund tlioro had been a miserable failure. Somo good hints might bo obtained Irom studying the working of such funds in Aug tralia.—Mr fierce suggested that the mat ter should bo referred to tho Standing Com mittee In his opinion tho working of such a fund would bo liko working a dend horso.

—Archdeacon Dtidloy stated thuttho scheme wad still being worked at Wellington, and ho considered it a litroic effort in the right direction, lt was but right that somo such attempt should bo made to more adequately provide for tho country districts,—Tho I'rositieut said that no doubt tho object was most commendable, but it assumed that nil members of the Church wero alive to their responsibilities, and if the assumption wero correct tho scheme would work admirably,

—The Rev C Vl.Nelson waa not prepared to support n scheme similar to that which had been feebly working at Wellington, and yet tho motion assumed that they wanted not only tho fund but aho one like that of Wellington. Thoy needed further information. It, might bo ungracious, but he folt inclined to \oto against the appoint ment of any commit- c. —Archdeacon Willis asked and obtained leave to omit from his motion the .voids " similar in general pian to that bogun some years since in tho dio ceso ol Wellington." He then replied, and the motion, as amended, was put and agreed toon tho voices.—Archdeacon Willis then moved that tho Committee should consist of tho archdeacons, the incumbents of city parishos, tho organising clergymen of the Homo Mission, and Messrs Upton, Pierce, Hoathor, Luke, Hughes, Taylor, Larkins, and Colonel Haultain. — Tho Roy. C. M. Nelson, Colonel Haultain, t_nd Messrs Larkins and Heather declined to act. Archdeacon Clarkoand Rev. W. Tebbs also askod to bo exempted. Tho appointtfietit of tho Committee was then postponed. About an hour later Archdoacon Willis pro posed tho following as a committee: - Archdeacons Dudley, Willis, and tho Revs. J. Bates, Farley, Walpole, and Messrs Luke, Taylor, and Ewington. The Roy. Thomas Farloy said that somo such fund was neces sary, as most of tho country clergy could hardly exist upon the pittance of from £130 and .t'lso,to £200 per annum that they re ceived, lt was but natural that they should foel dissatisfied when they saw other clergymen receiving salaries of £400 and £300. There should be a diocesan scale of salaries.—The President admitted that tho stipends of the country clergy wero miser able, but none of them was paid so little as £130.—Tho Committo proposed was then appointed.

General Pension Fund.—ln the absence of Mr J. H. Upton, Mr J. D. Jackson moved :—" 1. That it is desirable that, a general pension fund be established for the whole ecclesiastical province. 2. That such general pension fund should, if established, rest on the following basis :3. That all dioceses of tho province join in one common pension fund, each diocese to retain under its own absoluto disposal all capital accrued to date from any existing diocesan pension fund, such capital to be increased only by income arising from such capital and any special donations to such fund." He said that the resolutions were in accordance with the recommendations contained in the roport.—Tho President explained that tho proposed general pension fund would bo distinct from tho Diocesan.—The motion was agreed to. Bible rkalinu in Schools.—Mr F. Larkins moved: "(1) That the daily reading of the Holy ccriptures in the public schools (under a conscienco clauso) be urgently recommended to tho Legisla ture of tlie colony by this Synod. (2) That until such period as tho aforesaid daily rending is adopted, this Synod docs ear nestly the clergy to uao all j means for imparling Biblo instruction in tho public schools." He should like to have tho regular reading of tho Biblo in schools enjoined, but as the law was against him, ho would bo content with tho substitute he now proposed, Ho feared that the bias phemy which was now so common, and tho literal trampling of tho Scriptures under foot, had the effect of closing the mouths of many timorous Christian men. They should not bo coerced into silence on such a ques tion by loud-tongued rovilers, and they should not rest satisfied until tho Biblo had boon introduced into tho public schools.— The Rev. T. Baker, in seconding tho motion, said that the necessity for Bible-reading in schools was evidenced by tho prevailing ignorance of young people on Scriptural subjects. Ho had found this out very often in preparing candidates for con firmation. Very great ignoranco ex isted with regard to tho Scriptures. The Roy. F. Gould pointed out that the public schools were secular, and therefore had to be conducted secularly.—Dr. Web ber (Bishop of Brisbane) said that ho would never enjoin mere Bible-reading in schools, for what children wanted was Biblo teach i?Ku- He would rather enjoin the reading of Robinson Crusoe than bare Bible-reading. Under tho London School Board, the teachers had to give instruction in morality and the Scriptures, and the annual examination in Scripture know ledge showod that the Bible teaching given by tho head teachers was good and sound. Such a system should be ruoio easily adopted in thia colony .where tho lines of religious demarcation were not so broad and deep as they were in Eng land,—Mr Lawrence considered that the '

statement of this fact should encourage the advocates of Bible reading in schools to persevere. England owed her pro-ominenee to tho Bible. She had carried it into tho most distant parts of the earth, and he utterly übhorred its present oxclusien from the schools. Whon ho saw that Freethought principles were being sedulously disseminated through ■ out the world, he felt more than ever tho necessity tor the Biblo being read and oxpounded in tho public schools.—Tho President saw no likelihood of the' Synod n"'(_cing upon the motion, and thoreforo . u o 'geßteda_-substitute for it the following: ' This Synod earnestly recommends tho clergy to use all available means for impart ing Bible instruction in tho public schools." —Mr H, Crispe regretted the introduction of the motion at such a late period of tho session, as many members would havo liked to speak to it —Tlie Rev. J. S. Hill advised tho reference of the matter to a committee, to report to next Synod. - The President said that it would bo a pity to press the Synod to a vote on such a question, as tho rejection of it would bo misunderstood outr-ide. They wero agreed as to tho necessity for Biblical teaching, but they differed as to tho means that should bo adopted for supplying it.—Mr Doonin coincided with these views.—Mr Ewing ton maintained that thero was direct moral leaching in the hooks used in tho public schools —Tho first part of the motion was then withdrawn, and tho Synod then passed on to the consideration of the second part, altered as follow: —"This Synod earnestly recommends tho clergy nnd laity to use all means for imparting Bible instruction in tho public schools " —Dr. Purehas seconded.—The Rev. C. M, Nelson did not see the necessity for such a recommendation, and therefore urged its withdrawal.-Mr H. c! i*pe opposed tho suggested withdrawal.—lho motion was then put and agreed to. Queen's Jubilee. Mr Larkins moved, " That.in consequence of tho noar approach of the jubilee of Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria's glorious reign, this Synod do respectfully ask the General Synod to consider how that happy and pro bable event may bo so celebrated as to servo the Church and colony of NowZealand."—Mr Snelling seconded. —Mr Ewington thought if they were to celebrate the jubilee, they should do so regardless of all selfish considerations, and not as proposed "so as to serve the Church and colony of N6W Zealand, "—The motion was put and agreed to.

Inspector of Sunday schools. —Arch- deacon Dudley moved, "That the Synod do go into comraitteo to consider tho report of the committee appointed to ascer tain what provision can be made for the payment of a Diocesan Inspector of Sunday schools."—The Roy. Wm Calder said

that the discussion of the motion would take up fully two hours, and it was therefore desirable that the usual adjournment for tea should take place, as the time was now (5.20.— After somo interchange of opinion as to the advisability of adjourning till later in the ovening or till today, the latter alternative was adopted. Tho Synod accordingly adjourned till 4 o'clock this afternoon.

MRS AUFFRAY'S LECTURES.

Cruelties to Orphans—Cruel Penances to Nuns.

Another of tho series of locturos by Edith O'Gorman Auifray, the Escaped Nun, was delivered in St. Jamos's Hall on Tuesday. Owing probably to the inclemency of tho weather, tho attendance was not so largo as usual. Mr David Goidie occupied the chair, and in his introductory remarks quoted figure, to show the number of Roman Catholic children in the Government homos, and tho cost to the country of their maintenance. He considered that the Roman Catholics had a great many more children in the. . homes than they wero en titled to by their numerical strength. Mrs Aull'ray was enthusiastically received. Iti her opening remarks, the lectuross dcs cribed the ceremonies attached to the taking of the veil by the nuns, and thon went on to explain to her audience how far the nuns wore at the mercy of the priests, to whom they wore expected to give blind obedience. Enormous powers were, she taid, placed in tho hands of tho holy fathers to efiect the moral destruction of the sisters, if they were disposed to do so. The speaker then explained the difference be tween activo and cloistered nuns, and dwelt upon tho ponance.. observed. Thero was, she said, no physical suffering in the world iliat came up to tho agony endured by those poor nuns who wero shut from the world, and yet thoy wero not permitted to make any outward manifestation of their suffer ing. The bell for rising rang at five o'clock in tho morning, tho food supplied during tho day was of tho coarsest and loast ap petising character, the nuns were com pelled to wear a sharp instrument next to the skin, and to scourge themselves occasionally, occasioning pain and torture. Looking back now, she was convinced that the feeling in her mind after theco pen ances was ono of self righteous..ess. Be sides these penances, there wero others im posed by the Superior for trifling ofl'eneos, and which were mentioned in the previous lectures. St. Catherine, of Sienna, was soothingly touched upon en passant, and tho lectuross remarked that it the book of hsr life could be believed, she could not sit down or rise up without exploding miracles in all directions around her. Mrs Auffraj proceeded to say that she had been com pelled to perform more offensive penances than did St. Catherine when she washed out tho rottenness from a cancer, and drank tho water with which if was cleansed, in face of the fact that, tho nuns wero not allowed to form any earthly attachment, unless, indeed, with a priest, the speakei a-ked what kindness could orphans expect from such people as those. Sijo related in stances of cruelty to children entrusted to the care ol tho nuns, and denounced in strong terms the stern and unnatural con duct of Sistor Mary Joseph (Superior) and Sister Ann Joseph. Ono caso was rolated where a little girl was thrashed by Sister Ann Joseph with her slipper till the blood flowed from her wounds, and the little orphan was then plunged into a bath oi freezing cold water, this being at night An attack of fever followed. Another little girl, for tho offence of stealing a few goose berries from tbo nun's garden, was locked up in a dark collar with rats and mice. When the poor child was released she was found to be in a state of hopeless idiocy, while her feet wore bitten by tho rats Mrs Anft'ray repeated yesterday aftornoon in St. James's Hall, beforo an audience of ladies, hor lecture upon, " The Secret Mysteries of the Confessional."

L. D. Nathan, Esq. P. Comiskey, Esq, | Hon. J. Williamson. Sib F. Whitaker, X C.M.G. Thb Company begs to notify to the public .hat tho works at Auckland and tho Waitara have now been completed, and constitute tho moat extensive Meat-preserving and Freez ing Works in New Zealand. WHOLESALE MEAT MARKET AND SHIPPING DEPOT Ia now open at tho Company's Works at tho Railway Wharf, where Town and Country Orders will be attended to with tho utmost promptnoss and despatch. Tho Company can refer with confidence to the superior quality ef its Prime Meat, as selected for the market from large quantities of first-class West Coast stock, dealt with at the Company's Works, Waitara, SALT BEEF. Special attention is directed to tho Company's brand in this line, which, with the faci lities afforded by the cold-air process, can be cured in mild pickle, and the necessity of cutting up in small pieces obviated. As contractors for H.M. Navy, here and in Sydney, large stocks are kept on hand. BACON-CURING. The Cooling Chambers for Bacon-curing at the Company's Works in Auckland are now so far advanced that this New Industry has been commenced, and choice Hams and Bacon can be offered cured on the most modern principle. Particular attention will be paid to the selection of Pios fob this use, and on no account wiil any except Dairy ob Corn Fed Pigs be purchased, as it is purposed to build up a reputation for an Auckland Ham and Bacon Factory, MEAT-PRESERVING, TMa braaeh is equal to an output of 120,0001b5. per diem, aad th* Comoanv has the greatest confidence in recommending its PRESERVED MEATS As superior to anything of the kind heretofore offered to the public. Tho Company would specially call attention to the fact that the OOMPRBSSED CANNED BEEF AND MUTTON, PACKED in TBI BQUABE CAN (The right to which is patented), is the first sample from any part of the world that has boon able to compote successfully in tho London Market-with tho best Chicago brands, Hitherto the Colonial meats packed in the round cans, although called compressed meats were only saleable in the English markets, where a low price was the first consideration' but meats of the New Zealand Packing Company, submitted in competition for Admir alty supplies at Deptford Dockyard, were awarded the highest commendation, and placed on tho register of accepted brands. Tho following oxtract from tho letter of tho Company's Agents in London, the Now Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company (Limited), is referred to, who write as follows:— ~__, "We h*ve the pleasure to hand you.herewlth an extraot from a letter received from the War Ofllco, Army Department :—" Samples of the Peach Brand of tho New Zealand Packing Cr onbraltted by you, have been tested and proved, aud the Brand will bo added to the Solcoted _..__ of tho Department Thia now entitling you to the privilege of oomp ting, wo therefore tendorpd rm your behalf at 60s 3d per 1121b; and to-day were B rat _edto hoar that the offer had[been accented notwithstanding that it waa 9d per cwt. higher than the leading Amerloan brands showin* that the quality was fully appreciated." * """_""«■ Consequent upon the tomporary stoppage of production during the transfer of the Company's Meat-preserving Works from Auokland to Waitara, and owing to the fact that the reserve whioh had been relied upon to meet current demands wa. taken by the New South Wales Government for the Soudan expedition, the Company has been unable to comply with numerous demands from customers, but are now prepared to execute with promptitude all orders with which tbey may be favoured. WHOLESALE BUTTER DEPOT. The Company is about to open a large Wholesale Butter Dep6t at their Freezing Works, Railway Wharf. Cooling Chambers and the necessary plant are now being prepared. ° It is anticipated that with the appliances, cold-air chambers, and facilities for dealing with tho ever-increasing surplus, the Company will be able to offer a regular and satisfactory market for Dairy Produce. The Company's Managers of this branch are cash purchasers of Prime Butter and Fresh Eggs. Communications may at once be andressed to them. The utmost care will be taken in the selection of Butter for table use. This will be made up fresh every morning. As early as possible, wholesale orders of Butter will be delivered in refrigerated carts, so that retailers will be able to obtain a day's supply each morning, and householders, by insisting upon being supplied with the Company s Brands of Butter, will obtain a table delicacy throughout the year. The department will be under the management of Messrs Glanville and Ellyett, whoae Butter Business is being taken over by the Company. ACID AND MANURE WORKS. The Directors being very desirous of satisfying the public as to the genuineness of their Manures, have requested Prof. Brown, of the Auckland University, to act as their Analyist, and he has agreed to certify to the Analysis of the Superphosphates. The Company will defray the cost of any Analysis of Manures purchased direct frem them and duly sampled, the result of which may be proved to fall below the guaranteed standard, and also allow 4s 6d per ton per unit for the deficiency. ; Samples and further information may bo obtained at the Works, Otahuhu, or at tho " Office, Railway Wharf. STORING. The Company is now prepared to enter into arrangements for storing General Merchandise, etc., at current rates. The Storks have a line of rail running through the building to the end of the Rail- - way Wharf, so that all cartage, either by rail or vessel, is avoidH. All goods stored are f »ded and unloaded under cover, hydraulic lift and othar app._a_ji.sa being available.
