Cambria Goldmining Company.

The annual meeting of tho share holders of tho above Company took

place to day, when there were present the following gentlemen : Mr Chas. Alex.ti. tier (in the chair),and Messrs G. S. Kiasling j. Dickey, lloineby, A. Saunders, J. Jack eon, W. Carron, J. Erater, 3. B. Morpeth, H McDonald Scott, J. Howard, lteid, and \V. R. George. Mr Scott, tbe Secrotary, read tho dircctora' roport, which waa aa . follows : — Cash bulanco in hand from last year, £5,351 12s; receipts from other sources, £60S 5a Id; gold irom 4,040 loads quartz, cruahed 0,7550z5. lldwts., sold for £15,841 ISa Sd: total, _ 21,801 15a OJ. Disbursements : Wages, .6,1542s id ; goneral charges, pC0,236 0s 2d ; dividend (12th), £7,875; othor payments disbursed, £ios,'!s6d ;,cash balance in bank, £1,431 Oi 0J : total, £21,501 loj '9S. Tho directors stated tnat early in the year they acquired the Darwin claim, which waa paid for by shares, tho necessary authority lor increase ol capital having been ob tained from tho shareholders. This transaction had proved mutually ad vantageous to both Companies'. The Chairman then mado a few words to tho cll'ect that tho Company started operations last year with a balanco of £2,0.0. This, by prospecting worke, had fallen to £700, when tho balauce was again rai.ed to £1,400. Tho amalgam now in hand raised the balance to about the samo as at tlio beginning of last yoar, namoly £2,000. Tho directois had cent home tailings to London, when £S3 por ton was extracted. Another lot sent to London had not brought any fresh gold. They woro now treating their own tailings. Tho adoption of tho report was then put and carried, tho mino manager's report, save tho following extra repot, being taken aa read.

" There is in hand 2(31 o/3 of amalgam from quart/, crushed, and 29 oza 10 dwt of amal gam from tailings. Thero i 3 also about lOOlba of spocimen and picked atono on hand." Two matters of somo importanco now caino beforo the meeting, thoso of tho directors' and the Secretary's honorariums. Moved by Mr Morpeth, and seconded by K. G'oorgo, " That Mr Scott receive £15 honorarium." Mr Joshua Jackson fpoko highly in favour of Mr Scott's exertions, which had resulted in the Darwin mine becoming tho proporty of the Cambria shareholders, and it was thi=, and this alone, that had enabled either mine to be carriod on. Ho mov'od that Mr Scott's honorarium bo £i) 0 ; this waa seconded by Mr Hornt-by and lost, tho original motion being carried. Moved by Mr Morpeth and seconded by Mr R C4eorga that the direc tors'honoiarium bo £100, the sameamouut as last year—Carried. Mr James Dickey nnd Mr C Alexander were thon re-appointed dir'octors, Mr J. A. Monzies boing re ap pointed auditor of tho year.

Jewel Robbery in the City Baths.

Ukte'ctive Doolan to - day arrested a yo'unj fellow nathed Albert Elitsdon, aged 11, on a charge of stealing. It appears that a young man named Marry Harrison went on tho 20th of laat moilth to the City Baths, and whilst standing gazing at tho limpid pool, was invited into a bathing-box by two srtango youths who already occupied it. All eecined to go well till Harrison eearched lit 3 tioucer pockots, when ho found his two rings which ho had placed thero gone. Detective Dcolan, from information re ceived, proceeded to a certain pawnbroker's n fow days ago anel found one of tho rings in pawn, aud thoro awaited tho pawner of tho same, who was to call next day. Ho called, and to out tho story short, said that ono Albert Ello;don, his friond, had asked him to pawn tho ringa for him. Tbo accused has hitherto been a respectable youth, is secretary and librarian to ono of tho Bands of Hope in this city, ar.d his parents aro badly cut up by this sad occur rence.

LATE SHIPPING.

ARRIVAL OF TdE SHIP RAKAIA. The signal indicating a ship outside Tiritiri waa hoisted at tho Mount Victoria signal Station at 11 thle morning, and aotne speculation was then indulged in aa lo whether aha would prove to be tho Rakaia, which left London on tho 10th September, or iho Hermoine, which called from London on October 1. Opinion was ia favour of ihe Rakaia, ehe being fuily I! 1 daya out, and thortly aftor 1 o'clock all doubts were Oct nt ret by the appearance of that vessrlround tha Nortb Head. 'Iho Rakaia had made good progress before a freah N.E. breeze, and Boon after eho dropped anchor oIF the end of Queen-street wharf, Tho Rakni-i brings a full and valuoblo oarno, as per Hat of imports, and also a Email number ot passengers. Ontin Koradlck reports: Left London on September 16. and Sheernesa on tho foil .wing day. Had light fair winds to tho N.E trades, which were very light, and lasted till the 7th October, in 15dega. N. Tr.ence had light southerly winds, veoiiog rain and cilms to the Kquitor, which was crossed on 2ith October. Tho S E. tr^dea u-i to 20deg?.

Tbo chief oflicar c I tho Rakaia iB Mr Holford; second, Mr Wheeler; third, Mr Mcßae.

Coloniets havo often been twitted with not boing a church-going class, but tho recent consus of church attendance in Englaad, when compared with tho reault3 of a similar census taken by the Stab in Auckland on tbo 9th of April, 1882, shows that a much larger proportion of our population attend church regularly than id tha caae in England. This fact waa noted at the time, comparieon being made with English provincial towns in which such enumerations had been mado. The leviathan task of taking tho census of London has only lately been attempted. Thia census waa taken on Sunday, October 24, and gavo the follow ing results : " Out of a population of over 4,000,000 about 460,000 were present in the morning, and about 410,000 in the even ing. That is to say, speaking in round numbers, tbat less than one person in oight attended church in the morning, anctabout onein ninoat night. In Aucklaudit waa ahown that about 26 5 per cent.—that is, rather more than one in four of tho popula tion—attended church in the morning, aud 23-s—rather less than ono in four attended at night. Without thoae con firmatory figures, it must of courso be evident to every intelligent observer that in the English cities there is a much larger clasa beyond the pale of all religious influences than in colonial towns. The problem of reaching theso lapsed masses was what General Booth eet himself to solve, and the result, as recently ascertained, shows that thero is etill plenty of work to be dono. The census showed that while thoro aro plenty of badly-attended churches, some clergymen command large cong^ggations. At St. Paul's, in the morn ing, l'Joo2 wero present, and in the ovening, 3,403 ;at Westminster Abbey, in the morning, 1,721; and Archdeacon Far rar's, in the morning, 1,730, and in the evoning, 1,362. Mr Spurgeon heads tbe Dissenters, hia attendances being 4,519 and 6,070. He is followed by Mr Archibald G. Brown, of the East London Tabernacle, who returns 1,696 and 1,531 ; and by Di. Parker, of the City Tomple, with 1,325 and 2,415.

Good Resolutions.—At the commencement of every new year hundreds and thousands of our young men—and old as well—form resolu tions for their guidance for the coming year. Many keep them, while others break them. To such we wish to give a word of advice. In order to sustain your determination of leading a better life in tho future, you should use Hop Bitters. Tho judicious use of Hop Bitters atrengthena, clcanaos, and purifies the stomach, bowels, blood, liver, nervea, and kidnoya, and is Juat what you want to build up and Invigorate yourself.— Qrambush Dem.
