Tiro new Presbyterian Church at Surrey Hills is now so for advanced towards completion that it Will bo ojfen'e'd during tho E resent month. A total amount of £115 as already been received in subscriptions towards its cost, while a further sum of £35 14s is promised Another. £100 is sought to fee raise!, and tho previous canvass having met with a liberal response, no difficulty is apprehended in obtaining this further sum. After paying for building, land, and" harmonium, there will be a debt of £240 on the site, which is held at 7 por cent., or equal to a weekly rental of Cs. Credit is due to Revs. Runciman and Sommerville for tlieir exertions in tho matter. Tho new Church is to be called St, Peter's. Edward Brown Reynolds, gum morchant, of Auckland,, has"filed a petition in bankruptcy. The liabilities are said to amount to £4,000 odd, and tho assets aro sot down at something liko £100 less. Telegrams from Wellington announco that the Union steamship Ringarooma has gone ashore on a mudbank near Picton. Tho steamer, which has Chiarini's Circus on board, besides a number of passongors, is said to be in danger, but it is expected will be floated off. At last night's practice of "Tho Messiah" by tho Auckland Choral Society thoro wero 111 of the chorus present, being an increase of 30 over tho average attendance- at " Messiah " practices last year. This augurs well for a capital performance. Rev. T. W. Dunn, of Pukekohe, intends to visit Europe in March. Ho applied to the Preebytory to-day for leavo of absence for six months for the purpose, but no information was vouchsafed m the letter ac to whether his congregation was agreeable to his departure, or whether supply had been arranged for. The question of granting the leave applied for was deferred, and a subcommittee, consisting of the Clerk and Moderator, appointed to confer with Mr Dunn on the subject. An accident occurred in Napier-stroet cTdea ""cropper,' and a child named Boyes received an ugly gash; upon tho tomplo. Tho wheelman was gijihg protty smartly, and tho child in question being too confused to get out of his way in tiino was hurled by tho force of tho ijnpuct into the dish cluinnoli while tho driver of the iron steed wa6 at tho samu moment projected full length Upon the pavement. He was not much hurt} but tho youugstcr had to bo takoi to a surgeon in OraOr to havo its wound stitched up. Jaboz Edward Thomas was examined this afternoon on oath beforo tho Official Assignee. Ho said hie losses were due to illness, which prevented him following his trade as a carpeiiter. He had started a grocery shop, and was owing a trade account of £70 4s. He valued his property at £700, against which there was a mortgago of £400, and £9 due for interest. By a venture in keeping a cool and firewood yard, ho lost about £60. He kept no books beyond a sort of memorandum book In which he noted down debts owing tb him. Tho ristrict Traffic Manager announces excursion fares during tho approaching holiday season. A cheap tariff for goods has also beon brought into ferco botweon Auckland and tho Manukau harbour. Merchandise will bo collected in Auckland within one mile of the railway terminus and delivered tovossols at tho Onehunga Wharf, including delivery and wharfage, for any weight-up to 3| cwt., Is6d ; above 3J and i. p to 3jj cwt., Is 7d ; above 3J and up to ftf cwt., Is 8d j above 3J and up to 5 cwt,, is 9d ; above 5 cwt.-, at the rata of 6s lid po: ton.

By thus undertaking the entire forwarding of merchandise from the store in Auckland to the shipping at Onehunga, the traffic of the railway will doubtless be considerably increased.

Mr T. B. Hannaford says he has found it impossible to convince eligiblo candidates for the matrimonial state that tho know-

ledge of that modern institution, the Matrimonial Agency, has extended- to the Maoris. He has, therefore, brought to our office the original application of a native of Whangarei, who hr bent upon obtaining a European wife capable of keeping his house in pakeha fashion. The applicant gives the name of a resputable resident as guarantee for his. sobriety, and encloses a cart-de-visite representing a quiet-looking man, .with a goatee beard, who looks more like a sun-burnt European bushman than, a native., The applicant evidently thinks his own people a played - out race. He " wishes testate that he wants tho young lady to. be able to have children, as ho wishes to leave his land to them, and thinks the native women do not have children who live long now."

Limited as is the area of the Chatham Islands, it appears that the primitive community who inhabit those lone isles of the sea are enjoying the luxury of a labour dispute. It is said that an unwarrantable demand for very largely increased rates of pay has been made by the labourers on these islands, resulting virtually in a strike. Though this took place' just at the season whon shearing is so necessary to be got overj rather than submit to extortion, Mr. Chudleigh placed himself in communication with friends in New Zealand, which resulted in a contract having beenj come to with Mr Kerry, of Hamilton' East, to provide a party of experienced shearers, to proceed at once to the islands. The men, six in number, left Hamilton on Saturday, und wont by tho Omaha from this port to Chatham Islands.

The " Sydney Morning Herald" reprinted the Stab article on Ticnborne evidence, in the course of which it was stated that '? inquiries were diligently prosecuted at Melbourne, which proved that no three-masted schooner called tho Osprey had ever visited Port Phillip." In a subsequent issue Mr J. Dobbie, of Davlingstrcet., Balinain, writes to say that the inquiries must have been very superficial, for had the persons 'entrusted with the task, examined tho newspapers of the time (1853), they would havo found that a three-masted schooner called the Osprey was theu advertised in: the Melbourne papers as trading between Melbourne and Hobart. Writing ou the came subject, Mr David Austin, of Regent-street, Hcdferu, positively asserts that on tho 17th January, 1853, a three-masted schooner called the Osprey, Captain Hansel), cleared the Customs at Sydney for Melbourne, and that he was a passenger by the vessel to the latter"port.

This colony, and Auckland in particular, appears to have an increasing attraction for tho altaond-oycd sons of tho Flowery Land, notwithstanding the £10 poll-tax with which they tiro urged to go somowhoro else. Vory recently 14 Cinnamon arrived and contributed £140 to tho revenue "of the colony, and yesterday lnorninjg tho .laraw'cra, from SydneY, brought an additional eight bf their brethren, fivo being for this port and three for Port Clmlmors. 1 his, of course, means another' £80 towards the rovohuo, making a total income lrbm Chinese arriving at this port alone, during a period of about three weeks, of £220. To the Editor; Sir,-Will you kindly allow mo a littlo Bpaco in your locals ? I havo hoard, on medical authority, previous tb seoing the case of a young man sitting in tho Albert Park being struck with paralysis, that a chill or draught may bring on paralysis. If so, the Auckland Harbour Board may havo more to answer for than colds and coughs. The Northcoto Ferry Company hero orected a rather pretentious littlo building for tho use of their clerk whon ho is thoro, and his account-book and chair when. ho is not thoro i no placo for cither parcels or persons. Aftor sponding half-an-bour ih.a keon wind yoaterday^ waiting for tho Northcoto boat, I was told it was the fault of the Auckland Harbour Board who will not allow spaco for a waitingroom. It's a pity it cannot come under the notino and bo helped by tho Society for Cruelty to Animals. Anyway, it is cruel and unjust for tho travelling public to havo to stand there in either wind or rain or sun.—l am, etc., Nokthcotk.

Tho culture of the tobacco plant appears to bo rapidly oxtendmg throughout tho North Island, and thoro is every promise of the fragrant weed becoming ono of our regular und most lucrative agricultural products. Some 50 or 60 farmers scattered over the entire island, and some also located in tho province of Nelson, are under contract with Vollbracht'sNew Zealand Tobacco Manufacturing, Growing, and Curing Company for furnishing regular supplies of tho raw article, and already eighty acres have been sown With seed, which even now Hives assurance of a bountiful harvest in about four months' time. Packages of loaves, however, aro daily arriving ut the presont timtj and somo of those most lately received are really magnificent specimens of tobacco leaf, thus affording Conclusive proof of tho thorough suitability of soil and climate for tho growth and perfect development of the plnnti Tho samples which como from Victoria Valley are particularly good.

After some discussion upon tho subject of remunerating country poetmasters for tho Hale of game Hconsos, it was agreed to Inform tho Chief Postmaster that tho Council considers that any bonofit to accrue to tho Society in respect of this payment would arise from increased facilities in procuring licenses to bo afforded by tho country postmasters, and rocommonds that as far as possible thcamount bo distributed accordingly.

Our Port Albort correspondent writes :— " A most succpssful temperance demonstration took place horo on tho 26th. The various Baiid3 of Hope of the neighbourhood mustered in the morning with banners and (lags, and marched to meet the steamer which Drought a. number of friends from Auckland, clilldi'eri and friends then returning together to Mr Bocrofl'e, and ussombling after dinner in a largo tent for tho juvenile meeting from one to three, Mr S. Parker, of Auckland, presiding. Short and most interesting addresses were given by Messrs Hemus, Bycroft, Pry, &c, interspersed with songs and recitations. The Chairman gave, in place of any formal speech, a long and interesting recitation, " Buy Your Own Cherries," which was capitally rendered, There must have beer 300 persons present, all being highly pleased wid stirred up to hope and strive for the success of the cause we have so much at heart. In the evening, after tea, a second meeting was held, more especially for the adults, at which stirring speeches were given by Messrs Exley, Speight, and Hemus. Spaco will not allow mo to particularise, and I will merely say Mr Hemus was in his usual happy stylo. Mr Exley's splendid address carried his audience along in delighted attention, and of Mr Speight's telling speech I will only notice his touching and elegant tribute to the memory of Samuel Edger, so dear to many a heart at Port Albert."

The .service of song entitled " Uncle Tom" w{(g most suocepsfully given on Monday evening by a choir of some fifty or sixty voices in tho school-room of the Ponsohby Wesleyan Church. In consequence of the inclement weather, the attendance was but small. Those present, however, highly appreciated and enjoyed the service. Tho chair was occupied by the Rev. T. G. Carr, President of the Band of Hope (ill. the interest of which the service had been prepared), who opened the ineoting with prayer, and after a few brief remarks upon the hero of tho story, coupled with a humorous roforonco, to the dolicato constitution of

"city" populations as compared with those of "country'1 people, loft tho service in tho hands of tho conductor, Mr R. J. Sou'ster. Tho choral part of-the entertainment from beginning to end was thoroughly well sustained. Mre Croodison highly delighted those' present by her happy impersonation of "Em" in the two quaint slave songs, "When the Stars Begin .to Fall," and "Steal Away to Jesus," ' while other solos by the rev. Chairman; as "St. Clare," and the conductor and Meefirs Clarke and Barnes, as "Uncle Tom," were well received. The connecting narrative, however (given by eighteen members of tlio Rand ofl IFopo), was (ho feature of tho evening, not only beeaneo of tho doop interest always manifested in the story itself (a story Btrongly coinmending itself to the religious insjtiffcts of a Christian community), but particularly in tho manner in which it was presented. Perhaps, out of the eighteen reciters, two-thircla of them are of the very first order, and, in theu- expressive rendering of the difficult but touching prose, deserve the highest commendation. Miss Uooducre, with her usual ability, presided.at the organ. Wo understand the service is,to bo repeated next Monday; if so,' and the weather be fine, the excellence of the performance should ensure a full house, ■ ..,; . j

Within the last fortnight an excellent and I well-finished statue '6f;the celebrated circumnavigator, Captain James Cook, has been placed upoa a substantial pedestil over thesuontral doorway o£ the Captain Cook Brewery, Kyber Pass. The sculptor, ■Mr' Wilson, designed tho statue from tho best known portrait'in existence, which attracted niuoh attention in tho Sydney Exhibition. ' The figure, wo understand, was mado to order of Mr Jagger,' proprietor of the browery, at very coiK-ldorable cxponso, and the design and workmanship have given entire satisfaction. Whon tho wholo of itfl ornamentation is completed by Mr Stophoneon, of Auckland, the designer of its surrounding^ it will form one of the handsomest specimens Gf graceful statuary to be found in tho colonies. ; This prominent statue .Weighs two tone. On tho tides of tho base of the pedestal are the words "Est. 1862)" and in gold lottersj encircled by ferns and loaves, will appear the name of Captain Cook, killed at Owhyhoe, in the Sandwich Islands, October 27th, 1728. The mafblo, beautifully polished, was imported direct from Italy. The captain appears in full naval uniform, with sword, epaulettes, and sash, and it is said to be a vef y striking likeness of tho brave but ill-fated diinoveror df these islands. Wfe may add that the moulding was by Mr Blakey, and the building by Mr Holland.
