Mr Beckham said it was evident from this that Major Green allowed that the money was received or there could be no receipts. Mr Rees —Here is a telegram received on the 26th : "No receipts can be sent; final payment not received from you." His Honor—"Why, this implies that the balance had not been paid." Witness—After receiving the last telegram witness returned to Gisborne. The next item, £4 18s, was for seven weeks rent lost. He re ceived a letter from Major Green which in duced him to go to Auckland. The letter stated that the balance of the money had not been received. He saw Mr Rice and Mr Lusk together at the latter's office. Mr Rice recollected something about the registered letter which enclosed the money, because there had been some enquiries about it at the Post Office. Mr Lusk remembered it when Mr Rice reminded him of it, but he said there was no money in it. —-«-», (Left Sitting.)

CRAHAMSTOWN,

(From our own Correspondent.) This Day. The Advertiser and Sir George Grey.

Ihe Advertiser commenting on Sir George Grey's speech, says he will gain much Bup port by his evident sympathy with the body of the people, as against classes who set themselves up as their natural rulers. All who know Sir George Grey know that he sympathises with the sentiments supposed to obtain favour in what may be termed a democratic audience. The Advertiser regards Provincialism as doomed, and deals with Sir George as likely to bo more useful in the Assembly than as Super intendent. It thinks that the details of the Immigration and Public Works policy and the dealing with the loan will be more closely looked at than they have hitherto been. For many reasons it is glad to hear of any thing like an organised Opposition without which no legislative body can be in a healthy condition. Sir George will have great opp sition, although none exists at present. Sir George cannot help that. What is killing the Provincial system is not so much the General Government oppressing them out of existence, as the desire for local self-govern ment on the part of the people. If Sir Geo. does not see this, we shall be inclined to say with our brother of the South, that he is somewhat of a Rip Van Winkle. The Caledonian intend opening out at the 120 ft. level. They are now 106 ft.

The betting market has undergone few fluctuations. Ngaro continues hard in price —3 to 1 only being offered now. He is heavily backed for the Cup, and ia also tak ing in the double and treble event.

He was backed at that price on Saturday, but 55 to 10 has been booked. Templeton has the pre ference, a tolerably strong opinion being that his form is good enough to pull him through to win with top weight on his back, and Her cules consequently receded a pointor two. The former's price is 7 to 1, while 10 to 1 is taken about the colt. Atlas remains at about Bto 1, but his name is not often mentioned, he having been well-backed months ago. Cast away's price ranges from about 7 to 1 to 10 to 1. Ki^ht Bower is at about Bto 1 ; but Pertrobe is losing ground rapidly, and this is owing to his not having shown up at work for the last few mornings. Though he might Though he might perhaps be hard at it later n the day, and also to its being notified ithat he is to be sold on Monday, 10 to 1 is freely offered against him without response. Spritsail, owing to the demand for her stable companion has sunk in popular estimation, and may be qaoted at 10 to 1 offered. An occasional in vestment on Tripolis is made at from 12 to 1, and 15 to 1 for the Maiden Plate. King Philip is most fancied, anything over even money being taken eagerly.

TICKET OF LEAVE MAN.

Mb Tom Taylor's " Ticket of Leave Man" was the drama of Saturday evening at the Prince of Wales Theatre, in the presence of a large audience. The shrewd detective, Hawkshaw, was represented by Mr Hoskins, May Edwards, by Miss Col ville, Bob Brierly, by Mr Holloway, Moss, the jew, by Mr Deering, and Bill Dalton, by Mr Aveling. Mr Poole acted Jones, and made the most of that character by his comic powers. Mrs Jones gave a good rendering of Mrs Willoughby. This lady seems to improve with every fresh impersona tion which, she undertakes. Miss Patty Holt

was as pleasing as ever in her Opposite character. The minor parts were well executed, and taking the piece as a whole, it was well represented. The old comedy of the " Rivals," which so frequently pleased the virtuous King George the Fourth, and written by his friend Sheridan, will be represented to-night Mr Hoskins as Sir Anthony Absolute^ and Miss Colville as Lydia Languish, This fine old comedy has kept its position securely on the stage for more than half a century.

SIR GEORGE GREY AND TEE ELECTORS.

MEETING TO-NIGHT,

It is wholly needless for iis io call the attention of the people of Auckland to the fact that Sir G. Grey is to meefc with the electors of the province at the Choral Hall to-night. To those who are capable of appreciating comprehensive views of public policy, the address no doubt will be replete with in terest ; while there can be hardly any one indifferent to the expression of the views of him who by common consent is now about to assume the reins, and guide the destinies of this great province. By the arranhements of the sub-committee charged with these matters, Mr Thomas Boy lan, M.P.C., will occupy the chair to-night, and Mr J. C. Firm has agreed to move, and Captain Daldy to second, the expression of the opin ion of those present, as to the Candidature of Sir George Grey. The chwr will be taken at eight o'clock.

AUCKLAND PRESBYTERY.

An adjourned meeting of the Presbytery was held in the St. Andrew's Church, this morning. The Rev R. P. Macnicol officiated as Moderator pro tern. —The Key Mr Bruce introduced to the Presbytery the Rev Mr Cathcart;, who has just arrived from England by the Baron Aberdare. Mr Cathcart was welcomed by the Moderator, and will be formally received at the first ordinary meet ing of Presbytery, on the first Wednesday in April.—After the usual preliminaries, the Clerk stated that he had received a letter from the Rev Thos. Stewart, of Coromandel, tendering his resignation of that charge. Mr Stewart's resignation was accompanied by a medical certificate.—Two Commissioners from the congregation attended the Pres bytery, and intimated that under the cir cumstances they could not but acquiesce ir Mr Stewart's resignation.—Mr Stewart was also heard with regard to his resignation. He stated that in consequence of declining health he had been reluctantly compelled to take the step which severed him from his congregation ; but he felt that his disease was making such progress as com pelled him to seek rest and change, and rest could only be enjoyed by a cessation from ministerial labour.—The Rev. D. Bruce moved and it was resolved that Mr Stewart's resignation be accepted, and that the Clerk be instructed to furnish him with the necessary ministerial certificate, accompanying it with an expression of sincere regret that the Presbytery is losing Mr Stewart's valuable services, and a hope that the step he is now taking will restore him to such a measure of health as will enable him to continue in the Master's work.— It was resolved that the Rev D. Bruce be appointed Moderator of the Coromandel ses sion during the vacancy. It was also re solved that the first officiating clergym an who visits Coromandel be appointed to preach the church vacant, and de clare the pastoral tie between Mr Stewart and the congregation severed. — It was resolved that the Jtxev. Mr .Neil be appointed to supply Coromandel during the two following Sabbaths, and that in thejevent of Mr O'Neil not arriving from the Waikato in time to fulfil this appointment, that the Rev. Mr Cathcart be appointed to fill hia place. A deputation from Coromandel desired the assistance of the Presbytery in a monetary difficulty touching the manse. As that matter could not be considered at this special meeting of the Presbytery, the committee were re commended to confer with the committee appointed at the laßt meeting of the Pres bytery for the purpose of endeavouring to assist the Coromandel congregation out of their difficulty. The meeting was closed with prayer.
