The Royal Commission.

(rr,OM a cokkespondbnt)

MEW PLYMOUTH, Saturday. The Royal Commission still continues its sitting. A good deal of the work was got through yesteiday, wheu Mr Whitcombe, Commissioner of Crown Land.., was ex amined at great length on the matter of the Waimate'Plains survey. About the time that the Government advertised the laud for sale in Australia aud throughout New Zealand the sale was authorised and adver tised only n day or so before the surveyors were turned off, and this was immediately followed by the withdrawal of-the notice of sale. It appears that the people all along tiie coast fully expected then that the Go vernment bad carefully considered the step it was taking, and that it had made up its mind to back up the step.

THE SPIRIT IN THE LATE CABINET. Some of the evidence given would do to show that the Government either did not know its own mind, on that the responsible action was taken without the concurrence of all the Cab Yet. Further evidence is to be taken on Monday and probably on Tues day. It is expected that Ihe Commissioners will leave here some day iv the middle of next week, but where the next sitting will be held is uncertain. Besides the few public sittings, a good deal of business in connection with tbe work of tbe Commis sion, is done by Sir William I'ox and Sir Dillon Bell.

The Parihaka Meeting.

(FfiOM A COI-KESPONTENT.)

NEW PLYMOUTH, this day.

A "ood number of Europeans, now here, coulcuiplate starting to-morrow for Parihaka tn attend Wednesday's meetirg, being anxious to be present at such an unusual gathering of Natives, and to'hear what the prophet has to say for himself. This time the attendance will be unusually large, and some of the Natives who aro not unques tioning believers inTe Whiti's powers are desirous of hearing something more definite from him than he has yet vouched. The dominant idea with the Natives is,the hope of recovering all their lands iv some myster ious way. Tbe cultivations around Parihaka are something immense for a Maori village, but the seclusion of Parihaka and its prophet must soon pass away, COMING EVENTS. Tbe Constabulary are now engaged upon a road which will go within balf-a-mile of tbe village, and as soon as that is done the barmen will make their appearance, and the trade in rum and coloured calico will finish Te Whiti off-hand. One batch of the Wellington unemployed •commence, in a day or two, making the road from Strattord to Opunake, a distance .of 20 miles. The greater part through ibush. ____.___^____________«

Cricket.

MOUNT ALBERT C.C. V, WHAU C.C. Tins match was played in Mr Edward's Haddock ou Saturday last. It had been looked forward to with much interest, as bulb clubs were of this season's formation, and this was their first match, which risultedinan easy victory for the Mount Albert CC. The Whau men, who were au hout-ai.d-a-hal. behind time, weio given first innings, in order that the rest of their team might muster, and they were quickly disposed of for 3-1- runs, the only one making .. two Dgnres being J. Buchanan. There was a iistlessuess about their play, which is to he hoped will not be observable in future matches-. Tbe Mount Albeit team in their Jir3fc innings made 50, and that it did not exceed this number was mainly due to tiie very effective bowling of P. Tierney, who CfitainlV appeared to be the Whau 3 best man The Whau men made a worst show in their second innings consequent on the good bowling of T. St-.wartand J. Wallace^ Though the Mount Albert only wanted throe runs lo win the match at the com itiinccnieiit of their second innings, it was decided to play ou till six p.m., when their two best players carried their bats out, George Hastie ha • ing made top score—3B,- -thus giviug the Mount Albert team a victory ol 80 runs and 8 wickets to fall.

MELBOURNE, March 10. The new Ministers have been sworn in. The Hon. G. Francis, and Hon. R. Sander son havo Beats iv the Cabinet without portfolios. . Ou the whole, public opinion endorses Mr Service's programme. It is probable that Sir Charles McMahon will be elected Speaker, and Mr Gannon Chairman of Committees. . The non inclusion of Mr Murray Smith is much regretted, but for personal reasons he declined'oilice. In Grava, Messrs Dully, Bent, and Clark, are only untried members. The Government on the whole is popular. The feeling endorses Mr Service's selection, though sonic grumbling exists that as tne first "executive act was to caucell the proclamation calling parliament together on Tuesday, March 9th. The Victorian applications for space at the Exhibition represent over 105,400 feet. The late Chief Secretary had gazetted his son, Benjamin Berry, to an oilice of tho fourth class iv the civil service over the heads of a number of competent officers of loti.'cr service and superior attainments, He"und not oven passed the civil service examination, as required by lav.-. The Victorian Fifteen again defeated the Australian Eleven, winning by one wicket and one run. There was not much public interest in the match. One hundred and ninety-six poems for (he Exhibition inaugural cantata have been received. A selection committee have selected eight for farther examination. Very few of the'competitors understand the character of the poem required, the most meritorious being written in the same mea sure from beginning to end without the slightest attempt at variation.

The Reclamation Contract.

The visit of the hon. the Premier to the washed-out reclamation works, in company with Mr W. Swanson, M.H.R. has had one good effect. The Premier at once realised the fact, for which we havo contended for some months past, tbat a great deal of waste was going on, and intimated that prompt steps would be taken to remedy matters. Iv consequence of his visit new tenders are now invited receivable at the Public Works Olliee, Auckland, up to April 15th, and plans and speci fications for the contract will be on view at the Public Works oilice, Auckland, and at the litanies "on and after the first of April—April Fool's Day."

MR DEMPSEY INTERVIEWS THE PREMIER.

At half-past ten o'clock this morning, Mr Dempsey, contractor, waited on the lion. J. Hall, and was courteously received, lie informed the Premier that he had been refused a copy of the evidence iv the so called inquiry, and that, as shewn by the measurements of competent engineers, he was entitled at the time the works were suspended to between £5,000 and ,CG,OOO, which is. still due ; and he asked the Pre mier fo authorise au impartial inquny before leaving Auckland. The hon. the Premier said the matter belonged to the department of his colleage. Mr Oliver, to whom it would have to be referred, and advised Mr Dempsey to tele graph to Mr Knowles, under Secretary ot Public Works, for a copy of the evidence, and all the papers on the subject, i-0 that another "inquiry" may be held ou JV.r Oliver's arrival.

Pleuro-Pneumonia.

DEPUTATION TO THE HON. MR

WHITAKER

A DEPUTATION, consisting of Dr Campbell, Mr Goodfellow, Mr J. Baiubridge and Mr Jas. Robertson, juu., waited upon the Hou. Mr Whitaker, this afternoon, for the pur pose of briugiug under his nutiee the reso lutions passed at the lato meeting of farmers at Otahuhu, and urgiug upon him the adoption of all possible expedients for the suppression of pleuro-pneumonia. Mr Joseph May (member ot the local Cattle Hoard) accompanied the deputation. Tbe gentlemen having been courteously received, Mr W. Goodfellow stated their business in a few words. Mr Whitaker said that smco the lirst repoit of the outbreak of the disease he had been iv constant communication with Mr May on tbe subject aud he bad said from the beginning that it was advisable to consider the disease as being in the country, although personally he bad beenincliued to doubt the fact. They were aware, he supposeJ, that all the power conceded under the Act was vested in the Cattle Board for the district, and that it was for them to do anything that was re quisite fur the extinction of the dreaded com plaint. ' Their authoiity to order the destruc tion of suspected cattle however was doubt ful. The Hoard perceiving this had passed resolutions requesting to be endowed with the desired power, aud in order to assist them he bad, at some little trouble dratted a set of regulations which if approved by the Catde Boards would be put in the hands of the printer. The Cattle Board was the only executive body in the matter, and he bad assisted the members to the best of his ability. 'Ihe regulations which ho had referred to, provided, amougst other things, for tho declaration of infected districts by the Board, aud conferred authority for the employment of qualified, veterinary surgeons to inspect stock. It was a matter of opinion whether 30 days' notice should not be given of the intention to bring new regulations into force, but be would accept the risk and bring the new regulations into force at once? He did not know that he could do anything further, but if there was, he would be happy to undertake it on lis being pointed out. "'ihe lion, gentleman then went on to remark that on bis recommendation the Chairman of the Agricultural and Pastoral Association, and MeV.sra Wallace aud Jas. Dilworth had been added to the local Cattle Board, while Waikato and Waipa had been formed into a separate district.. Tiie Hon. Mr Hall had taken the greatest interest in the matter and a gentleman bad been sent up from tho Colonial Secretary's Department with all the necessary papera and informa tion OU the SU^ject. The memh is of the deputation after ask iii" one o two questions, expressed themselves satisfied with the Minister's explanation, thanked him for his courtesy, and then withdrew.
