[Press' Agency,] . Auckland, last night. ; A shed and atabl.s at the rear of Beck's house, Mount Albert, was burned ; in* sured in tbe South British for £100. The Rev Mr Hill informed the Presbytery that friends in the district of Cambridge were desirous of securing a new church towards whioh £150 had been collected with the prospect of other donation!. They had also partly secured a favourable site, possession of which they were anxious to complete. He had been requested to present a petition from Presbyterians of Ohaupo, and perhaps the Presbytery might take the responsibility of advi >ing them. Mr Weill ' then 'proposed a plan of the division- of ministerial labour in several sett.em.nts in Waikato. A manse, he said, would also be required at Hamilton, which would need increased effort. It was resolved, "That a document be transmitted to the Home Mission for adjusting the districts of Waikato, and to arrange for the more efficient working of the same, and that the Presbytery give an assurance to the settlers at Ohaupo of supply, and that in the meantime they should take immediate measures for; the erebtion of their church."
