That it would be mutually beneficial that there should be occasional interchange of ministers between this district and other Austra lian districts, such interchange only to be carried out through the district meetings. 2. That, in order to en. courage intercourse, and to promote a stronger connectional feeling, a delegate should be appointed by each district to the other biennially. The following were elected the Connectional Committee for the ensuing year, to hold their meetings in Auckland, viz.: Messrs Bridgman, Parker, Writey, Chamberlain, Tattersall, Knott, Hatch, Platt. Mr Boweson was elected representative to the Annual Assembly, with Mr Holmday a* alternative,

New Zealand Wesleyan Church Conference.

The following buainoea wan traneactod nt tho Conforonoo yesterday, after Wo went to

Probationers.—The Rev. Mr Bull re ported that Mi- O'fjean hud duly appeared before the Auckland District Meeting, winch reconimenued that ho bo retained on proba tion for a fifth year. He further stated that Mr O'JDean had since handed in his resignation, which had been provisionally accepted.-The Conference, on the motion of Mf Morloy, endorsed the action of tho District xMeoting. Fiji Mission Work. — The Rev. Mr .Tory, the missionary from Fiji, was next called upon by the President to address tho Conference. He thanked tho Conforonco for inviting him to bo present. He then spoke at some length regarding mission work in Fiji, and concluded by presenting the following returns :.—1,200 churches und other preaching places, ;>5 natives ministers, 1 000 ciitochisrs, and toucher?, 1.900 local preachers, 3,500 class leader,-', 31,3.0 mem bers of our Church, 3,400 Stii.day-tciiools, 2,700 Sunday-school teachers, 42.0U0 Sun duy scholars, and 100,000 attendants on public worship. The-s figures, ho folt sine, would bo very gratifying to tho Conference. He expressed his sorrow that in saying " Good' morning " ho had also to say "Good-bye," us he would leave Auckland tomorrow. Ho concluded by hoping that tho present might be tho best and happiest Conferonco ever held in Now Zealand, Tho Conleruiico then adjourned for dinner, resuming at 2 SO o'clock, when tho 8.9 V, Mr Rishwarrh opened with prayer..

Mr Bavin formally uiov&'d tho motion standing in bis name, asking tbe Conference to prescribe a literary' und theological coureo of study for local preachers on trial. Jio explained that this motion was the ro commoudation of tho Auckland District Meeting, und had emanated, ho believed, from tho Mahuraugi local preachers' mcet-r ing. Tho conferences of previous years had required tho various local preachers' meet- ;ntra und district met>tin;rs to consider tbi» subject, ai.d ho wo-ild like to have those suggestions noiv produced. — The suggestions were then read at tho call of tho President. — Aftor tomo further discussion Mr Morlcy movod "Tliatthe proposal to refer tho list back to the local preacheiV mooting be deleted." He thought this was unnocfcggary, as the sub ject had already occupied tho attention of thoro meetings,' and he boiieved tho delay would do harm. The Con ference accupted this view, and tho motion, thus, amended, passed unani mously. Tho Pror-Mont and Secretary, with liovH. Reid, Crump, Berry, Kavin.

W. j, VVatkin again to take full work a3 » minister bo granted, was considered. la answer to Mr 1.69 it wu= stated that Mr Watkin's ho:ilth was now sufficiently restored to mi rsrit his application beinc; granted. Nf V#atU!a also "testiliecf to hie improved condition, and the request was unani mously granted. O:i the recommenda tion of the Canterbury District Meet jng, suop.irted by the Rev. Mr Berry, c'nc'itav! F. W. laitt v.ajj also reini-foted to full work. Leave of absence for une year vtsa granted to the Rev. Mr Smalley, as his wifa's boilth was so shattered as to render a nea voyago imperative OiinnAitY. - Th 6 next question for con sideration was, " What ministers have died eineo ths last conference?' The reply was " John Whowoll," of whom a lengthy obituary notice was read. Tho Row Mr Bavin said that as Mr Vf hewe'l had livgd and died in his circuit, ho should liifo to e^y how gveatly Uie ds ccc ed brother had been vespectcd for hia kindoefs and entire unselfishness of disposi tion. The Rev J. S. Ei-hworth boreteeti mony to Mr Wbewell's thoughtfulness and Uindncrs as his mperintenrient many years since. The Reve. H. H. Lawry, J. A. Taylor, Morloy, S.

(JIV TKUiORA'.'II— OWN COREESrON-DEN'T.)

Nai'ier, this day

At tho County Council meeting yesterday, hot opposition wag shown to the ofior of the proposed Tramway Company to contri bute £350 towards the coat of widen ing the County road from the town boundary to Taradalo, a distance of nbout five miles, Tto Company propofced to lay a trara line "by tho aide of the road, and objection was raised to this that tho Council would have to keep the cronci of tho road in repair. Another Councillor objected to tramways, as they were ruinous to the roads. If there mutt be a tramway, it ought not to be a paltry one that would merely stand in tho way of a railway. The esti mated coat of widening the road and strengthening and widening the bridges is £2,575. After a long dUcutsion it was ie- Solvod, that tj>e Cqmpany tpuat pay half the coat. Mr Peter Denny, the well • known Scotch capitalist aid speculator, 13 expected hora in a few months, and probably he will bo asked to construct v railway from Napier to Tata dale.

THE BIG BAY PROSPECTING.

Ref.urn of Fifty Men Disappointed,

(}!Y TEMKiRAni — OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Ixvercarciill, this day. The Government s.s. Hinomoa arrived at the Bluff at 2 30 yesterday afternoon with 50 men of the Big Bay prospecting party. The " News " representative at the port interviewed a number of men who at rived by the vessel. They'reported that they did a great deal of travelling, going from Akete to the Gorge, theuco to bed Hiil and on to Martin's Bay. The mon were Ecattered all over the country, and every where they went tnere were indications of tiold prospecting having been rioue, The best prospects got were in Big Bay, where two or tlnee colours to the dish were the mott obtained. At; Ked Hill, nothing whatever was got to the dieh The opinion of tho whole of the men is that Carey and Byndman's reports are wholly misleading, and they epeak very wrathfully about them. The feeling wag so high regarding Uyndman that he left Big Bay and went to Martin's Bay to get out of the road. They say that Carey and Hyndman are evidently endeavouring to imitate Docherty, in Dusky Sjund, who has been there for twenty years, and Sutherland, 'at Milford Souud, who has resided there about twolve years, both of whom have at various times excited attention by talks of the wonders which they are juat about to find, but which have never come off, Six teen of the party who went to Kig Bay remained behind. They intended proceeding inland prospecting on their way ana returning via Queenstown on foot should they not strike on anything on their way. One of the men named JMeill met with an accident about a fortnight ago. Ho fell on some boulders, injuring his spino and the email bona of ono of hia legs. He had to be carried on board the eteamor, and will be eont to Ihvercareiil Hospital. B
