Only eight of the Auckland men showed: up (this club is getting notorious for this failing), and there were no requisites at hand for marking out the ground. The wickets played very badly, ajid some material alteration will have to be niade before the All England match comes' off. The total scoro of the North Shore side was 81, of which Rees made 21 and Wells 22 by good play. The large number of byes, &c, 19, must be attributed to the roughness of the ground. The Auckland men made only 61, of which A. King contributed 16, Garland 11, and Philson 10. Tho slows of Mr. Hoes, favoured by the high wind, did great execution, no less than four of the Auckland team being clean bowled bj iliem and four caught oft' them.

WEST END V. CARLETON 2nd ELEVEN.

This match which was played in the Domain on Saturday, was won by the Carlcton men, on tho Ist innings, the totals being Cai'leton Jo, West End' 27. Anderson made 15, Ward 12, and Boalo 10, for the victors. No one made a decent stand on the sido of the West End, and no' less than six fell tothb' bowling of Mr. Catcsby, a new bowler from homo.

DEPUTATION TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

THE BIG PUMP.

A' DErTTPATION consisting of the following gentlemen -waited on the Hon. the Attorney-General this morning in reference to the Big Pumpi ,': —Borough Ooiincil : Mr. J. E. Macdonald, (Mayor), Messrs. W. Rowe, M.H.R., Gibbons, and Renshaw. County Council : Messrs. A. Brodie (chairman), C. F. Mitchell, T. Spencer, and J. T. Bngnall. Mr Brodie explained the object, of the meeting, and introduced the deputation. Mr Whitaker requested the deputation to explain the points, which they desired to submit to the Government. . •>

Mr Macdonald said they desired to know how long it was required .that the "Big Pump should be kept goiiig. Mr Whitakcr said until the Lower ■Level was proved to be remunerative or otherwise. The Government had given aid with the view of testing the question of the depth of the payable ground at the Thames, and the Government had no disposition to make further advances. It Was necessary that the local bodies at the Thames should conic to some decision as to the question. What time did the gentlemen who had experience in mining matters believe to bo necessary to test the mines ?

■ Mr; Macdonald said it would require 18 months or two years. If the question were not tested In that time they would come to the conclusion that it would be useless to test the matter further.

Mr Wcston said if the works were vigor ously prosecuted in the lower levels the matter could be settled in that time.

Mr Mitchell said the County would not give any portion of the rates towards tliis object. The revenue from the water-race and other contributions would amount to about £300 per month. The deputation wished to have the exact conditions settled as between the local bodies aud the Govern ment. Mr Whitaker said the main object of the Government was to have the mines tested to a depth of CSO ft., and they wanted to know what time would be required to ac complish that. Mr Brodie thought power should be given to the Mining Inspector to compel the adja cent mines to do their portion oi the drain age. Mr Whitaker said that could be done under the " Mining Districts Act." •Mr Eowe: Four parties are inteiested. The amalgamation of the Borough aud County might not be clfcctcd,. and the Borough would decidedly object to pledge its gold revenue beyond the amount neces. sary to icoo'd the Big Pump going. It would never consent to the surplus going to the County, or' that the whole of the securities and goldfields revenue should be handed over to the Comity without conditions.

Mr Wliitaker said the Assembly had been: guilty of an oversight. It did not foresee that gold duty would arise -within Boroughs, and made no provision for such a case ; consequently such revenue belonged to the colony. :

Mr Brodie said t!ic County would 'have no objection to lake over the.Big Pump on the conditions ottered.

. My WJiitaker asked what proportion of the gold du,tics came out of the Borough ? Mr Riowe said 52 ncr cent.

Mr Macdonald said the position might be reversed during the next six mouths.

Mr Renshnw said the .Borough1! gold duties last year was £3500.

sshare of

Mr Wlri taker said tiie'qucstion of whether the County or the Borough should receive the gold duties could stand over for decision by the Assembly. Mr Rowo said it would ba no hardship to make the revenue from the waterworks chargeable in conjunction with the Borough gold duty. Mr Whitaker said the difficulty might be got over by the County maintaining the Big Punip from the following sources : [Ist Contributions from- mines; 2nd, revenue arising < within tTft Borough ;. 3rd proiits arising from the water works ; 4th revenue from the goldlields generally, if necessary. If th'c:revenue from the Borough- :be more than sufficient, the surplus to go to the Borough.

Mr Jiowe objected to the' phrase gpld fields1 fevfihiie became that would include OhJnemuri'. ■' Jl.'i .

Mr Brodie : Let the surplus be expended by the County in roads.' Mr Rowe : TWe will ncypr consent to that. Mr Brodie : Then if you shew that spirit there is no chance of amalgamation. Mr Mitchell did not think the waterworks woule yield any considerable: revenue from the rates for the nevt twelve months:

■• Mr. "YVTiitoker said any arrangement conic to, Avould bp subject to ''"confirmation by the AssomMy, but the Government would do its utniost to' secure conJirmation, and if both the Comity and BorofugJi agreed' to iiie arrangement it would probably not be disturbed. In reply to Mr. Brodie,: he said he did not think there would be any difficulty about paying over the gold revenue monthly. Mr SVhi taker said he would piit jtho rough memorandum of the agreement ijito form, and forward it to the Deputation] at 4 o'clock. ■. ; .■:•■■•;

Mr Rowe-said, he thought the Borough was being unfairly treated in this matter, and left, the room. ■ |

The interview then ended. COUNTY DEPUTATION

Mr Brodie asked whether or not the workshop or tools, etc.,"ifsed by the General Government at Ohincmuri could be handed over to the County Council. Mr .Whitaker said the tools were in the Borou.oh. 'Mr Brodie said the County had taken over the functions of the Provincial Govern ment. . -, , Mr Mitchell said the Borough would have no objection to the tools being handed over. Mr Brodie also requested that the plans of works and roads, and survey instruments be handed over to the County Council. Also that an extension of time be allowed under the 211 th section of the Counties Act and HUr section of the Bating Act. He believed three months would be occupied in the as sessment. The County also desired to be placedin a legal position with regard to the overdraft. The County also desired that the surplus iron for the "water race be handed over to that body. Mr Whitaker: That belongs to "the Public Works Department. . ,; Mr Brodie next asked if one of the upper offices in the Government Buildings coiild be given for the use of the County Council. Mr Whitaker : The County Council will have to provide its own offices. He would recommed Mr Brodie to put Jail these matters in writing. Mr Cv F. Mitchell complained that pur chasers of laud from the native owners at, Ohinemuri were unable to get their titles complete because the Land Court had not sat to investigate. It was ■matter of extreme hardship to those who had ex pended money in improvements. , 'Jisif.

The annual general meeting of tJie above Company was held this afternoon, at. Mr. Heath's office, Wyndham-.strcct.--The retiring directors were re-elected, and Ml. W. S. Laurie was appointed auditor. —A motion by Mr. Gardiner, to the eflV.ct that one of the directors should visit the mine every fortnight; and any direcror failing to take his turn, be disqualified from re election, was lost. —A discussion took place on the' present condition of the Company, and it was decided that the directors be authorised to call an extraordinary meeting of the shareholders for the purpose of con sidering the advisability of winding up or reforming the Company. The report and balance sheet were read and adopted. The directors' report stated that the lower levels had been tested, and the crushings had everflged fair yields. The mine was clear of- water, and no difficulty was expected in keeping it so. The mine manager, Mr Daniel, had been dismissed, and M*: Dyle appointed iii his stead. The balance sheet shewed :—Receipts, £6,493,4s lid; expend I diture, £4,344 4s lid; expenses, £58 ; cash in hand, £7-6 13s 5d ; Bank overdraft, £2,024 4s 4d ; total £6,493 4s lid; After some further business, the meeting disper sed.

A good deal of unpleasantness has boon caused lately by a misunderstanding between! the Auckland Cricket Club, and the United Cricket Club on the subject of the Euckland Challenge Cup jna'tch. The tranie was to have been played on Boxing Day, but the Auckland Club men were not aware (hat the day had been decided, and did not show up. At Jdrst the United claimed the match, but ultimately, fiftei' a rather acrimonious correspondence, Mr. J3ur- KC3S, the Secretary of ihc Challenge Cnp matches, directed them to mutually fix a. day. and abide by it. Tuesday, the 18th ins!., (to. morrow) was chosen, and it was thought all Would end happily, but wo regret to say thai. the Auckland Cricket Ciub have to-day in tii ii:itc-( I their inability to pet v learn together to Way to-morrow. The United Club will njvw claim the match, and in probability their claim will be allowed.

Messrs Critickshank and Co. have rc eived a telegram sidling that the s.s. Hero arrived at Sydney yesterday morning. The sharebrokera mining report was; not issued to-day. We learn that Mr Ewington and other well-known citizens ;irc strongly interesting themselves in the petition for the reprieve nf tXio Awiiticmnnd mnii MflrtEn ( Urtill. Several copies of 11 jc petition aro now being taken round for signature, and, so far as can be ascertained, are being pretty numerously signed. Some excitement wa'i caused at ithfl junction of Queen and Durham-street;;. shortly-, after'thro-; o'clock this afternoon, by an accident wkicl) occurred to a, cab, owned by Me.-;*rs .Mbjfljn anil' Smith. It jiscems. that one of the -horses which h; rather young and frisky, managed to get his leg over the pnlu of the cab, and then ooninicneod tokickjuuf with wonderful.vigor. A large crowd 8j»on gathered round, ajid after.sornn.trouble the horse's leg was released from its dangerous position. The driver was placed hr great jeopardy during the occurrence. No blame whatever can bo attached to him.
