The Bank of South Australia, 54, Old Broad-street, E. 0., is autLorised by the undersigned to receive TEN DERS for BONDS of the SOUTH AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT, to the amount of £400,000. The Bends, havicg from 26 to 35 years to run (1891 to 1003), are of the following cknominational values:- 50 Bonds for £l,OOO each ... £50,1100 300 500 „ 2,000 If 100 „ £400,000 And are issued under the authority of Act No. 28, of 19th December, 1807, of the South Australian Parliament, entitled "An Act to authorise the raising of Motley for Railway purposes." A copy of the Act may be inep:cted at the office of the und,e-signed, Both principal and interest are made payalf.e in London at the dates speciaed in each Bond, the interest by Coupon uu the Ist July and Ist January of each year. The Bonds bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, front the let July, 1868. The above quoted act authorises the issue of £Bll,OOO. The proment issue is the tirstportion thereof,the remaining half will not bo issued till some time next year. Clause 5 of the Act duly provides for the payment of the interest, and the redemption of the Bonds of this Loan, as they fall due. The B.nded Debt of South Australia, including the £400,000 now issued, will amount to £1,568,000, and is secured on the general revenue of the colony, which was as follows, according to the latest Goverument official stttisties in the Agent General's possession 1862, £548.709 • 1863, £031,700 ; 1864,. £775, 837 ; 1865, £1,089,12'8 ' • 1866, £919,774. The high estimation in which the South Australian Government Bonds have al ways been held is sufficiently proved by the current quo- , rations in the market. The existing Bonded Debt is an nually reduced by redemption of BoLds falling due to the extent of about £40,000 each year. Sealed Tenders, made in accordance a ith the annexed form, will be received by the Bank of South Australia for the whole or any portion of these Bonds —not being less than £loo—until noon on Tueslay, the 13th October, and the allotment will take place at that hour in the presence of such of the applicants as may desire to be present. The Bonds will be allotted to the highest bidders, pro vided the rates offered are not below the minimum which will be fixed by the Agent General and placed in a sealed envelope on the table b fore the Tenders are opened, but the sealed envelope will only be opened in case the Agent General declares that the whole amount has not been ten- dared at or above his minimum. Tenders at a price it.cluding a fraction of a shilling other than sixpence will not be preferentially accepted, and in the event of an equality of Tenders beyond the amount of these Bonds, a pro rata distribution on such Tenders will be made. In the same way the Bands falling due at the different dates will be distributed, as regards the dates, as near as possible, amongst the successful tenderers. Ten per Cent. on the nominal value of these Bonds must be paid to the Bank of South Australia as soon as the al lotment is made, and the balance not later than Tuesday, the 10th November, when the Bonds will he delivered. Tendorers to whom allotment may be made can have their Bonds earlier, if they desire it, by paying the balance less the discount at the then rate of the Bank of England. Forms of Tender may be obtained at the Office of the Bank of South Australia, or of the undersigned. FRANCIS S.

Especially were women wanted to help on the labours of the Church. " Without attempting to define pre cisely what is lay pork and what is clerical work, he might say that they wanted the services of men, on the one hand, who were less exactly clerical; and of women, on the other hand, who were more nearly clerical. At present woman, however useful she might be, was only a volunteer, without any ecclesiastical sanction. If they could bring the former class one step onwards, so as to include it within the ordinary life of laymen, and bring the other class one step in the other direction—towards the verge of the clerical office—then he believed they should begin to have some. thing like what the primitive Church had, and what is urgently required again in our day.—Mr. Parry, who fol lowed, advocated the formation of "communities" composed of both sexes ; but his remarks were received with disap yroval by the body of the meeting. So strongly was their dissent evinced that the Archbishop had once again to remind them that "No, no," was a sufficient expres sion of their dislike of what the speaker said.—. Dr. Atkins strongly condemned "unorganised" lay work s and thought the sooner it was supervised the better.—The• Rev. Dr. Reichel contenc.ed for the establishment of the pri mitive diaconate as the best means of organising. The office of deacon in the primitive church was much more of a lay office than ours is; in consequence of which it admitted of being conferred on women as well as men—being a most important difference; and it was a permanent, a real, and substantive office, instead of being, as the dia conato is with us, a mere step or passport to a higher office. If the old office were re-established we should get the central authority by which lay work might be established and arranged. The female diaconate he especially urged should be revived. "If, he exclaimed, our people saw in every larger church numerous deacons waiting on the priest, in order to assist him reverently according to primitive usage at the Sacrament, by giving to each communicant the consecrated elements with the prescribed words, and thus expediting the service without abridging and thereby spoiling it; catechising the young; visiting each in his own district, and reporting to the priest those cases that require his office and his expe rience; only sometimes ascending the pulpit when specially gifted and specially licensed, and specially invited; iden tified with the laity in their life and avocations, with the clergy by the reverent and most useful as sistance they could give them, but never occupying a position of apparently independent authority they would, I think, conceive a more distinct notion of the real, difference between the two orders, and entertain justai views than they generally do of the worth and dignity of the purely spiritual function."—The cry of " Church in danger" formed the text of a speech by Earl Nelson. It was in danger, said his lordship, from infidelity, &c. As to the subject in hand—lay agency—in his opinion its institution would do a great deal to enable them to damp the strength ot dissent in this land. Their Nonconformist brethren would then have to contend with the lay agent rather than the or dained clergyman. They would find that they drew their lay agents from the same sources from which the Nonconformist teachers now came ; and it would be the means of opening up a never-failing supply for the higher ministry of the Church.--The Bishop of Oxford wound up the discussion. Ho declared that they had already instituted lay work in his lioceso, and he hoped it would be carried on. As to women work he wished to say a few words concerning those Christian sisterhoods which had been spoken of. Now, ho thought they laboured first of all under this moss natural imputation, that they were an attempt in our Re. formed Church to imitate the nunneries of that Church whiclit the necessities of the Gospel obliged them to part with It seemed to him the greatest possible waste of means if thing itself be a thing of great usefulness to throw it aside because it had been misused elsewhere. In these sister hoods there were things to be avoided. They should avoid those vows of perpetual engagement made by women, and the receiving of very young women—almost girls— into such societies. Now, he thought the primary obli- gation of a Christian woman was distinctly laid down by the pen of St. Paul—' Lot the younger women marry." But when the hand of God has set a woman aside from the work of family life, if she is encouraged to give her life to the work of Christ, surely there must be a great gain. It was essen tial to the success of this work that they should not bo taught to do acts of charity and religion for their own irre ligious life, but that their religious life was cultivated by works of charity. They were not to let their females retire into dark places. Give them a home in which they can, work—a home with fellows of their own kind and rank, Let them form themselves into a sisterhood which will give them an opportunity of going forth to do those works charity which will be a blessing to themselves and to all men. At the afternoon sitting the Bishop of Killaloe occupie the chair. The first subject of discussion was "The American and Canadian Churches; their organisation and practical working." Dr. F. Churchill, in the absence of an American bishop who bad been invited to attend, gave a long description of the organisation and management of the Transatlantic Churches. The special feature was the position of the laity, who found in representation the real bond by which they were connected with the work of the Church, and felt an active interest in it.— -The Rev. S. Gibson, Archdeacon of Montreal, read a paper on the subject, giving a historical sketch of the American episcopate. He said the Churches in Canada and the United States were as independent of the mother Church as .they were of the State from which they had been separated by the civil Government. —Lord Oranmore, who said he attended as a deputation from the laity, then spoke. His presence suggested an expectation that the Irish Church question would in some way be introduced , and it was not disappointed. He referred to the history of the " clergy reserves " in Canada, and contended that there was no analogy between their appropriation by the State and " the proposed alteration in our own Church." His argu ment was embodied in the following passage :—" Canada bore no part in the national legislation, and paid none of the national debt, and until the Parliament of Great Britain was prepared to grant to Ireland this position, there was, he thought, no analogy between the two countries. There was no analogy between the ecclesiastical condition 4 of Canada and Ireland, for the same power which con ferred the property of its Church upon the former country withdrew that property in 1855, whereas the property of the latter had been vested in it not for 300 years only, but for 1,000 years. The Clergy Reserve Fund in Canada was taken away by a combination of different societies jealous of the Church's position and power. On the other hand, the circumstances under which it was possible the Irish people might be deprived of the Church appeared to him to be three in number : first, a universal insubordination to all law and order, and desire to upset existing institutions; secondly, the disruption of the Church in Scotland, since when the people of that country had shewn a dislike to all establishments, and connected mem bers of the Church of England with those professed mem bers who nowadays are so much attracted towards the Church of Rome ; thirdly,the fact that evangelical principles still lived in England, the great body of the Dissenters then being addicted to the High Church party and to the doctrines of the Church of Rome." The Bishop of Cashel observed that there was one feature in the Church in Canada which gave him hope, and that was the introduction of the lay element into its administrative department.—The Rev. Dr. Reeves read a paper on " Convocation and Diocesan Synods in England and Ireland." A discussion ensueg in which all the leading points of this most agitate& subject were brought out. The Rev. Canon Trevor thought a great want of the day was the diocesan synod, The Dean of Ely expressed similar views. The Rev. J. H. Blount, amid interruptions, advocated the implicit obedience of the clergy and the people to the bishops. The Dean of Cork, who closed the debate, stated two remarkable facts : " That in the last nine or ten months, during which the Irish Church has been passing through a struggle unparalleled in its history, nearly every religious body in Great Britain has had the kindness to meet together, and to discuss our future and our present, and to make this or that recommendation concerning us, with the one single and, I venture to say, singular exception, under the circum stances, of the Irish Church itself. (Hear, hear.) Neither in Convocation, nor yet in provincial synods, nor yet in diocesan synods, nor yet in diocesan conferences, how ever limited, or however private, have the clergy—not to speak of the laity—of this Church yet gathered together, in numbers however small, to offer to their bishops their thoughts or to receive from them theirs, except in public charges which we have gratefully heard in visitations. This is one fact. The second fact is, that from this has arisen a most odious and injurious imputa tion both upon bishops and clergy, which I have heard again and again in England, ' Oh ! you bishops and clergy in Ireland are taking things e xceedinely easy. Your life interests are secure, and you do not trouble yourselves to stir in the matter.' This is utterly untrue, but nevertheless it is, unfortunately, natural. I have now to relate a very brief narrative. About twenty years ago a ship, sailing from the port of Liverpool to that of Derry, was caught in a sudden and perilous storm. The first mate, who might be described as a kind of marine vicar-general to the captain, rushed forward officiously, and in order to save the ship from the inconvenient fears and inquiries of the passengers who were in the cabin, he threw over the cabin a heavy tarpaulin, and the result was that there was not a sound heard from the passengers—that the ship, with the cargo, money, and goods, reached the port ; but she reached it with the passengers dead." The Dean applied the moral of the tale to the circumstances of the Church in Ireland, and pointedly observed that it would be better for the clergy to attend to the passengers than tfQ the good§ in tile _ . _
