CHRISTCHURCH.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) This day. Lunch Aboard the Hawea. A lunch was given on board the Union Steamship Company's new steamer Hawea at Lyttelton. A hundred gentlemen were in vited ; seventy-five sat down. Special carriages for the guests were attached to the train from Christchurch. They went direct alongside the steamer at Glaclstone "wharf. After examining the saloons, engine room, etc., the company sat down to lunch The chair was filled by Mr James Mills, managing director of the Company ; and the vice chair by Captain Malcolm. On the right of Mr Mills sat his Honor the Super intendent, and Mr Peacock on the left of the Company's agents. The toast, "Success to the Union Steamship Company of New Zealand," was proposed' by the captain. In responding, the chairman stated that the new Company, which was being registered under the Limited Liability Aot, started with a paid-up capital of £90,000. They would take over the Harbour Company's steamers on the Ist July, and in addition to the Hawea and Taupo, would add still fuither to their fleet, as trade demanded. They had no desire to injure the steam com panies already in existence; but would feel themselvek bound to see that the interests of the travelling public received attention. The Auckland Cricketers' Demand., Letters appear in both the Times and Press this morniDg stigmatising the resolution passed by the Auckland oicketers, that the match, Australia v. New Zealand, should be played at Auckland, as absurd, because the Auckland cricketers have no right to decide such an important matter and it would not be fair to the cricketers of other provinces to play such a match either at Auckland or Dunedin ; a more central place should be selected. The writers suggest that a dele gate should be appointed by each province to meet at some central place, and decide where the great match shall be played, and how many players each province shall send to the New Zealand team. Fire at the Criterion Hotel. The Criterion Hotel had a narrow escape from destruction by fire last night. " Some gentlemen lodgers in the hotel saw a glare in the adjoining room and found the window drapery in a blaze, ann after some trouble succeeded in extinguishing the fire. Aa this is the second occurrence of the kind within a week, it is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Mr Balle, the landlord, has placed the matter in the hands of the police.'

UNION BEACH GOLDMINING CO.

The annual mpeting of the Union Beach G.M.Co. was held in the Insurance Buildings this afternoon at 2.30, W. C. Daldy in the chair. The chairman then called upon Mr. J. Friar Clarke, the secretary, to read the directors' and mine manager's reports and balance sheet.

The report was read as follows :—"During the past year the yield of gold has been 1,5490z15dwt 13gr from 565 tons of quartz, being an average of over 2foz to the ton. Black Reef : 'J he Directors beg to draw the attention of the shareholders to the impor tance of the discovery of this reef, which took place in July last whilst driving on tbe Green Harp leader, in the 80 feet level. The reef is a well-defined body of quartz, averaging 18 inches in thickness. The whole of the quartz taken from the above level to the cap of the reef, some 30 feet, when crushed, gave an average yield of about 3oz to the ton. The reef having been worked out in. the upper level, the shaft has been sunk a further distance of 100 feet, and a drive is now being rapidly put in for the purpose of cutting the reef at the present low level. Pacific Reef : The manager was instructed to put in a drive so as to cut this reef in the company's ground. It was inter sected and driven on for a distance of 41 feet. No gold was seen in the stone, and as the reef did not average more than three inches in thickness the manager ceased operations,' he being of opinion that it was too small to work. Golden Pah Drive : This work was undertaken in order to intersect the leaders known to exist in the Golden Pah claim, which was purchased by this company last year. Six hundred and forty-two feet had been driven when the directors, in consequence of the heavy ex penditure incurred in the sinking of the shaft, considered it advisable not to pro ceed further with this work until the finances of .the company were in a more flourishing condition. The Venus reef was struck in this drive and followed for some considerable distance, and communication effected with the Venus shaft, thereby ventilating this portion of the mine. The quartz from this reef did not prove payable, a trial crushing of 22 tons having yielded but a few ounces of .amalgam. In the mine manager's report annexed will be found the particulars of the operations carried on in the mine since Mr Hanney took charge on the Ist January last. The retiring directors are Messrs Howard and Woollanas, who, being eligible, .offer them-, selves for re-election. For the directors, W. C. Daldy, chairman." The balance-sheet shewed :—Receipts : Balance at National Bank of New Zealand, 31st May, 1874, £504 4s 3d; debtors per balance-sheet, 31st May, 1874, £49 17s; calls, £907 8s • gold, 15940z 15dwts 13grs from 565 tons quartz, £4,872 19s 9d ; stores ' sold to contractors, etc., £97 19s Id ; nett proceeds sale of forfeited shares, £2 0s 6d. Total, £6,434 8s 7d. Expenditure: Creditors per Balance-sheet, 31st May, 1874, £31115s 8d ; machinery and plant, £373 2s 7d; shaft, contracts, and timber, £611 5s 6d ; claim, wages, contract labour and salaries, £3,446 8d; other expenses, timber, candles, etc., making a total of £5 104 8s Id ; cash at National Bank and in hand, £33 16s 9d. Grand total, £6,434 8s 7d. The report of George Hanney, mine manager upon the works in the mine, was also read.

§g|The chairman,] in moving the adoption of the report and balance-sheet, said their prospects were very, encouraging; he also quoted from a letter from the mine manager, which would lead them hope that at no distant period they should be able to talk about dividends, with means to carry on the mine successfully..; He would, therefore, move the adoption of the repqrts and balance-sheet. Mr Wardrop soconded. Mr Black made a few remarks; when the motion was carried unanimously. The chairman said the next business was the election of two directors, and an applica tion had been received from Mr Stovin as a candidate for a sr at on the directorate.

Mr.Stovin said that his object in coming forward was to aid the Company as much as possible and hinder those nefarious practices, which had been so damaging in the past. After some remarks from Mr Woollams, the chairman proceeded to put the names of the candidates seriatim, and first he would D p. Mr Howard, then Mr Woollams. Mr Stovin said tfc __ £s< ing a largaldajority,

w.tM™r°i!- thoße' two §en,lemen, he would withdraw his name

Messrs Howard acd Woollams were then elected.

<«S ™as P™posed, seconded, and carried, ihat Mr John Waymouth be appointed auditor for the ensuing year at a salary of five guineas." ° J -

The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed, and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the meeting

THE CAPITATION STRUGGLE.

FURTHER PARTICULARS BY TELEGRAM.

Since our leader was put in type we have received this telegram, conveying the follow ing explanation of the causes which led to the withholding of the capitation money from Wellington. The explanation is so childlike and bland that we have not far to go to fix the author. It is unnecessary for us to say that it is only bunkum. The Government have retired precipitately from a stupid position : —

Mr Bathin's latter is as follows :—"Sir, — In transmitting to the Provincial account t'-is day the amount of capitation allowance for Apiil, payable on the 30th May, I have the honor, by direction of the Hon. Colonial Treasurer, to explain that this, payment has been withheld until now in a hope that the Treasury might be enabled to adjust the charge against the province in respect of interest payable under the Immigration and Public Works Act on the monies expended in the construction of the completed portion of the Wellington and Masterton railway. Owing, however, to the ambiguity of the law as to the mode of making upthese accounts, and to the difficulty of reconciling the views of the Commit" sioners of Audit and of the Treasury on the several points involved it has been determined to postpone the preparations of the accounts and the recoveries to be made upon them until Parliament shall have expressed, in a clearer form, its intentions in the matter. The capitation allowance for May will be paid at due date (to-morrow) aB usual."

CITY COUNCIL.

THE TBAMWAYS. A ppectal meeting of the City Council was held this afternoon, when the question of in troducing street railways in Auckland was discussed. Mr W. E. Turner being present. His Worship the Mayor, Councillors Hold ship, Hurst, Isaacs, spoke on the subject. His Worship first proposed that a resolution be passed averring that tramways were desirable in Auckland. It was the general opinion of the Coun cillors present that the resolution arrived at by the Streets Committee was tantamount to an expression of that opinion. After some remarks by Mr Hurst, Mr Turner asked leave to address the Council on his own application. He wished it %a he understood that his- application wo simply to obtain their consent to his making his application before the Superintendent. It would make no difference if there were a. dozen applications sent in. Mr. Turner was gving what in his opinion was the intepreta jod of the Act, when he was interrupted by Mr E. Isaacs, who said he did not think the Council wished Mr Turner to explain the Act to them. "Mr Turner then desisted. Councillor Holdship said he apprehended, that really what they wanted to do was to put upon paper the conditions under which they would receive applicants, and then sub mit to the Superintendent the tender which they thought most calculated for the public good.
