In hie address to the Synod last evening, the Bishop of Waiapu referred at length to the proposed union of the churches. " The Pope,"he said, •' may be earnestly desiro.us of re-union, but there is nothing in his letter to indioate that he understands by reunion anything ahort of unconditional submission to his authority and absorption into the Roman oommunion. There is no recognition of the Anglican communion as an integral part of the Catholic Church, nor is there the slightest ground for thinking that he would be inolined even to re-oonsiderthe retention of the uuscriptural doctrine? which the Roman Church has auperadded to the original oreed of Christendom. Bβunion with Borne is therefore impossible, and no loyal Anglican oau entertain the idea for a moment " The Napier Garrison Band intend giving a fiacred concert (weather permitting) on Sunday next, 29th ingfc., on the breakwater wharf & collection will be taksn up in aid of tho Napier hospital.

One or two families of wealthy natives from Moawhanga, including tho deceased, went some time ago to consult a native dootor, or "tohunga," in whose skill they eeomed to plaoe reliance.

Times says, "We feel sure that no reasou can be given for it, and that it is juat another of those politioal jobs that havo dipgweed the present admiuietratiou. Xhe Civil Service Act has been set at naught to rewsn-d political supporters, friends, or relatives. But apparently all the political patronage tho Government has had to bentow does not siitisiy the politioal cormorants that rule New Zealand. The cry io for more patronage, and this additional, this eighth Minister is to bo appointed to reward some servile followor. If tho appointment is sanctioned, theu the House will further publish to the oolony its uttor inability to deal with tho good government of the colony, and show that it is time an opportunity wee given to the peoplo to elect honest men to servo them in Parliament."

Writing in reference to the mining boom an old miner in an Auckland contemporary says :—"Pessimists are orying oat about the coming end of the mining boom, but so long as the yields are ac large and the prospeots as bright as at present, that is evidently a long way off. No doubt, come shares are beyond thnr intrinsic value, and dozens of bogus companies have been floated with a view of extracting gold from English capitalists' pooketii rather than from the ground, but it must not bo forgotten that a large number of claims that would ] pay now were abandoned in the early days of the goldfields, when the miners had only the primitive maohinery and appliances for extracting the ore. Many of these abandoned reefs will now pay well, and there is a genuine chauoe for capitalists, but every effort should be made to suppress the forma-" tion of new companies by requiring a fw greater expenditure of labor than the law insists on at present on them. Outsiders who wish to make money should avid most of these ' syndicates.' 1 hey should be prepared to wait a reasonable time for a return on their outlay, and should be wise enough to sco that speculating with a view of immediately doubling their money on a rising market will, in the long run, bring them down. I hold the opinion, sir, that the boom is only just beginning, and that in many claims the market prioe of shares is a long way under their real value. As are about 50,000 shares inoaoh of our companies, and the price is, say, 10s, only a paltry amount of gold would be required to pay enormous interest on the capital value."
