■ for thirteen creditors, and Mr. S. 'E. HughesI appeared for himself and for Messrs. L. D."Nathan and-Co., find Messrs.- 'Hark and: Levy. The following resolutionpassed at a' i

previous meeting of- creditorswas adopted ;—** That 5s in the£be accented, payablein;

f 4, 8, and 12 months, by bills to bear date• one day after the approval of the "com-

position by the Court, the "debtor, to regainpossession - over his personal'estate of; pro-!

Be Moob? anp TowtfSHEHp.—The ad-;journedmeeting.of creditors washeld jester-;. day at the office of the Official Assignee,!• Supreme Court.—Mr. S. E, Hugbea appeared!f; for the debtors, and for several"-creditors,!

" The qthers present were Messrs', Abbott,!Slater,'Harktss, and Johnston.'—The Official;Apsignee brought up his report as to Tarioos;matters referred to aim to enquireinto. Asto the bills of particulars, Mr. Moore, senior,':

, wrote stating that in July, 18?2,he entered\ into partnership withhis son, but retired on!

Mr. Townshend paying £600, of which £500:was in cash and £100 in whisky, making a'net value of £600 to the.new firm. Mr.� Plpmley's- statement was, tbsjt he ;did notthink he was called on to answer .the in--'quirics- as to a private debt owed' by;

Townshend, bnt he forwarded a statutory:declaration, furnishinga detailed-Statement

: of advances made to Townshendamounting.in ail to £606 14s, the oreditnllowanoe being£600. .No interest or principal had been

: paid to him on this account.—Mr. Hughespointed out that this stood to- Townshend's:private account, not to "the- estate.—Mr.:Liwson said, thia swept £60 from theestate,. making in all £130; taken from,

, it, aud less than he ■ calculated - on.'The third matter was' 'as to 'obtaining;. vouchers.. These and all preferential claims;would be dealt with by Mr. -Cave, to whomhe (the Official Assignee) had sent tbehipn.Mr. Moore's explanationaii to thepromissorynote drawn on May 11, alio ■ details' ofaccounts, were read. The money-receivedfor the promissory note tvss used when. he.was under extra expense owing to his wife'sillness. In regard to Townshend'a affairsdetails were also furnished. In regard to'Moore's statement" regarding the promissorynote for £40, he (Mr. Lawson) had been toMessrs. Hughes and George'soffice, and Mr. •George asked him to look at the books, and!on that date, on the block of a cheque-book, \tie found the item £41 drawn, and'in'the;bill bookhe found theentry for this amount, ■*n'd in penoil'it was marked dishonoured, so;there was nothing ip, that,—Mr* plater said:he did not know whether it was necessary tomove a resolution, but he thought that, hehad never attended a blacker oasa in his life>»f suoh wilful, wastefulextravagance. The'lebtors had anted more lilte- school-boysthan business men, and they should be made»tt example of.

The Bill does not applyto political prisoners, but to the crimi-nal classes, and, if carried out in itspresent form, might remove them-inmass beyond the seas, according to theexposition of the Times Paris corres-pondent, quoted in this letter by SirDillon Bell. Well, after the explana-tions on the subject .furnished by theEnglish Ambassador, and the promisein !reply made by M."Ferry, when itseemed there was to be an end of it,the language deprecated by '13irDillon, and particularised inhis letter,re-established the difficulty again. Thefact is some of the Australian Agents-General are very much lackingin judg-ment, are too fussy, and seem to havebeen apprehensive that -the subjectwould be settled without their figuringmore conspicuously in it... There is away of doing things, and it would .bebetter if they would. leave'- -the settle--ment of the. matter personally to theEnglish Ambassador..in.

In;its' well' 'prepared, report' of "theSecretary will be found a very gooddigest of. iho business of the past year,and an-examination of it will - convinceour reader, both in town and country,that all matters affecting the interests ofthe port- and district aro" "sedulousr/watched crar and considered :by-thsmembers of this body. -4s evidence ofthia fact may be cited" tils action' takesby them in thematters c? obtaining moreequitable forms of bills of lading;.theseizure or tike Gaselle and the necessityrevealed in this case for an ad-mdmentof the law for the better protection ofowners of vessels/; the securing of .extrafacilities tomeat the iossreasing. railwaytraffic between Auckland and Penrose :the urging of despatch in the survey ofthe North Island Trunk Railway; theencouraging of semi-tropical industries';and the appointing ef a. commission toenquire into ' the 'railway managementand tariff in the"different parts of thscolony. . These and similar questionshave occupied the attention of theChamber, and the action taken in regardto iliem leads to the conclusion thai itscapacity forintelligent treatment of sachmatters will compare favourably withinstitutions of like character either in theneighbouring colonies or in the UnitedKingdom. The address of the retiringChairman, Mr. \L. D."Nathan, was inmany respects an able one3 extendingovera wide range of subjects/all handled in'».•felicitous'manner, and showing that he is

ADVERTISING MEDIUM.The following letter from Messrs. Stewart Dawson

and Co., the celebrated Watch Manufacturers ofLiver-pool, will give tin public an'idea of the value of;the Aucsxahd Weekly News as an AdveitisbigJMedium:—'.■.-. $:

these exports wouldfiance-"HC,th be subjected to, 'owing x to the im-WbLensely increasing aapplies" ijf whoafjHkhi'chmight; be; looked? for: from India,Kind *ne growin g care that "was beingin various parts of the old

en the production of wool; andffljcinted out the necessity which was thuaBJfmpesed on the NewZealand farmers andH-»aers to adapt their operations to theSJltiradconditions of the foreign market.|HThis is a matter thatwill" yet have ifo be§B-*v carefully considered by those moreS immediately concerned ir>-the above pro-|S,jaots; and it is in this connection that§§Jthe introduction, of semi-tropical indus-fia tries call for special.attention and en?§| couragement. It is gratifying to.notice9 that the Chairman takes' a.. cheer-g fnl 7iew not only. of tie future ofH the 'colony, but even of : its • presentS condition, and, in-both these respects,J e,pecially of Auckland. The explanation|Hie gives of the local prosperity enjoyedIS hoe as compared with that experienced|1 in the Southern centres of populationisJSon the whole a sound one. There are,19Jowever, other circumstances than those3»named which seem tous largelyto accountKM for the difference ; but as they might leadIB to a diversity of speculation, it may beIS judicious to defer any statement of them,9though at another time we may takew occasion to specify them. But, takingHMr- Nathan's view of the matter for them present, thecontrast may safely enough»liesaid to be accounted for by oar greater8 variety of industries and exports, and theH consequent greater,distribution of wealth.H Thus far the citizens of Auckland haveIS shown a wise discernment, and thsre can«beno doubt that it is by proceeding inS the direction of multiplying their indus-■ tries that they will secure and maintainNlhat commercial pre-eminence for theirMcity and harbour which it is their fortuneBto rejoice in, and their ambition yet■ farther to realise. We congratulate -. the1 Chamber of Commerce on the efforts1TfMch.it has been largely, instrumentalBin Btimulating for the production of such

■ results, and hope that the wise directionja of the actdvitieo of the people, which itH has the power of giving, may contribute3 toa greatly enlarged pprberitya.

The Anglo-French Convention does .notippeat to have been favourably received bytheEnglishPress. The Standardis Inclinedto think that it will shipwreck the Govern-ment, and the Times criticises it sevfiely, asconceding too muoh. As we remarkedyesterday, the Convention practically ter-minates England's"control in Egypt. In theHouse of Commons on Tuesday Mr. Glad- iatone was pressed to makea statementon theqaustlon of Egyptian finance and the pro-posals on tha% subjectwhich theGovernmentintended to lay before the Conference, Huthe declined to do so. He gave certainmaurances, however,.. which induced' theOpposition to postpone the action whichiaey had resolved to take.

An adjournedsitting of tbe District CourtBlisheld yesterday, for the trial'of the caseAbbott v. 'Waring before the Judge (Mr.H. G. Seth Smith) and a jury of four.Theplaintiff was the well-knownbill dis-counter, Mr. JohnAbbott; the defendant amilkman of Remnera. The action wasbrought to recover" the value of a horsetailed by collision with defendant's cartthrough' defendant's - negligence. Theamount claimed was £65 13s 6d, includingexpensesof a veterinary surgeon. The caselisted the whole of the day. The juryreturned a verdict for the plaintiff for £43.Judgment entered accordingly, with £7coat*, against the defendant. The caseis reported in greater detail in anothercolumn.

A. large number of people, particularlythose having business at the Police Court,

Deeds. Offices, and City Council Chambers,trill Buffer considerable inconvenience inconsequence of the action whioh the pro-prietors of the Auckland Hotel were com-pelled to takein closing up the passage be-tween-Queen-street and Sigh-street. Theruling of the Licensing Bench in grantingthe license of the High-etreet bar of tbehotel, almost renders.this compulsory, as itenforced the dosing of the side entrance tothe hotel. Mr. Caffrey complains that hewas frequently blamed .for; having drunkenpeople on his premises, when-inreality theyonlypassed through from one street to theOther. Ic future people will have to tra-verse Vulcan-lane orDurham-street to reachthe. public offit^a.
