CHRISTCHURCH, Friday night. | \ The Victory at Ashburton. \ 1 The match at Ashburton, contrary to the t expectation of people down here, resulted _. in a very easy victory for Auckland on the c result of the first innings, It was rather t risky to play fifteen men so good as Ash- < button is known to be, including Wilding ] and Reeves, two of the best Canterbury i men. The later was easily disposed of, 1 but Wilding made a grand stand. When ] AucklaDd were io, the prospect for Auck- f laud was not consideted gaei, but ■ an old Aucklapder took 5 to 1 that three . men would make the score, and won it. j Robinson was injured by one of Wilding s > balls, but continued batting, running up 20 , in very pretty style. Barton and Aroiel were simply grand, both men batting care fully on tbe cocoanut matting until well set, and then scoring very lapidly. The last forty iuns were put together in fifteen minutes. Buckland went to the wickets at 315 Barton and Robinson facing the bowling of Wilding and Pixley, Barton played Wilding's first four bills carefully, and drew the last to leg for a single. He also cut Pixlcy's first tor a single. Robm eon cut Pixley's prettily for 2. Two more wei c scored from an overthrow. Barton cut Wilding very neatly for 2, and placed the next ball from the same bjwler in beautiful style to off for 2, bringing up 10. Robinson put Pixley prettily to leg for a singe, and cutting Wildmg got two more. A chance was given to run Barlow out, but tho field did not return quickly enough. The batsman showed his gratitude, by driving Pixley for 3 out of bounds, and imitating the exptriment soon afterwards for another 3. Robinson managed another nogle, and 20 went up on the telegraph. Barton drew Wildiog to leg for ooe. Bar ton then got a fine d ive for 3, and the ball going into the crowd of spectators, struck Mr Frank'yn White on the nose and cut it severely—3 were called, the hit being con sidered a boundary one. Barton put Wild ing out of bounds again for 3, and the telegraph shewed 30. Simpson took the ball at tbe upper end, and 2 and a single came very quickly. Barton got Wilding to long leg again for a single, and Robinson put one up at square leg, but too safe for a chance. He got a leg single off the last of Wilding's over. One was stolen by Kobinson off the third of Simpsons next, and Barton cut the same bowler for 2, Kobinson again added 2 to his score by playing Wilding's in the slips, and singles came at each end, the batsmen running them well. A pretty diive by Barton off Simpson added 2 more, aad 40 appeared on the telegraph for tbe loss of no wickets. Barton g<t another single, and Robinson put Simpion out of bounds at square leg for 4. With, the score at 45, Robinson put one of Wilding's up at square leg, and was held by Reeves. His score was 20. Arneil came in and got Wilding to leg far a single. Barton drove the satne bowler to off for one, and Arneil got him in the slips for one. The same batsman gat a single off a flukey oae in the «>lips from Simpson, and Barton slogged his bowler over long on's head for three. Toe telegraph showid 50. Barton cut Wilding f»r two, and put him prettily to leg for another couple Hosklngs took tho bowling at the upper end, and Arneil driving just to off, it was fielded by Thomas with his stomach. A single and bye were run. Reeves went oo in Wilding's pl»ce as bowler at the lower end. Arneil diove his first out of bounds for 3, bringing up 60 ruus for one wick«t. Scoring was still steady, Arneil and Barton getting successive singles. Arneil cut one through point's hands, and got two, and another bye was run from Hotkings. Two singles by Arneil aid Barton sent Reeves through point's legs for one. The next was better fielded and acoiing prevented. Barton cut Book ings prettily towards the pavilion, and three being run, 70 came np on the tele graph. Another beautiful cut by Baiton off Reeves was fielded close to the boundary line, and returned sharply on being run, Arneil Rot Hosking well to square leg, and the ball b<sing badly fielded by Buchanan, two were very easily obtained. Scoring was still rapid, and it was a noticeable fact that np to this time only two maidens .had been bowled. Arneil, who had taken a good while to become set on the cocoanut wicket, b?gan to hit lreely, and getting Reeves splendidly to square leg for three, brought SO up. Wilding took the bowling at tiie upper end. A couple of singles were run,and Arneil put Reeves well away to long leg for two, while Barton got another single. Barton cut Wilding for 2, the ball being badly missed by third man, who allowed it to go through his legs. Arneil played a maiden from Reeves, the third of the innings, and Barton played Wilding neatly to the off for a single, Arneil driving the same bowler along the car pet for another. The next ball produced another single for Barton and brought 90 up, when Arneil lifted the last of this over away to deep field for three. Again one of the field—this time Curtis —opened his legs to allow one of Arneil's cuts to pass through and two more came up. News relieved Hoskings at the upper end, and Barton cut his first for one. Arneil also cut him for a single, but narrowly escaped being thrown' out by Wilding. Barton played Andrews in the slips for two and 100 appeared, Arneil got Reeves to leg for two, and cut the last of the same overfor one. Andiews's next ball he put t"» leg for one, and Barton followed suit for 2. Arneil cut Andrews lor one, and Wilding got a round of applause for very pretty fielding. Barton drove Beeves for a single, and got another single from Andrews. The score was again becoming Blow, when Barton lifted Andrews grandly to long field for 2 -110 up—and put the next out one over the' bowler's htad and out of bounds—3. One came from a bye, and Aineil cut Reeves prettily for one. Barton followed Smith, and Arneil, running at Reeves, nearly missed him, but sot a flukey one. Costello took the bowling at the upper end, and his first over was a maiden, Arneil placing it. Two were run for byes, and there being only ten minutes left in which to get the remaining five, there was still a good prospect of a drawn match. Three singles came from Andrews in quick succession, and there were still 2 more to get. Arneil got the winning hit of 2, and put the next to leg for 2. Simpson took the over and the lower end, and Atneil put him out ot bounds for 3. Several twos in quick succession, and Arneil hit Maude, the new bowler, clear over the boundary for 4, and followed it up by a fine drive across the boundary lino for 3. The telegraph shewed 140. Barton got a single off Costello, and Arneil cut him for 2. Thomas was put on at the lower end to bowl slows. Barton cut his first for 3, and the second was cut by Arneil for a single, and Barton followed suit on the next. Time was then called, the Auckland innings being one wioket for 151.

ST. MATTHEW'S CONCEPT.

The choir ot St. Matthew's Church gave an excellent concert last evening in St. James's Hall to a numerous and approving audience. Mr Po»ley, organist of St. Matthew's, c<m« dncted. Rev. Win. Tebbs, the incumbent of the parish, informed the assemblage

vith regret, that a few alterations would ie made ia the programme, as several of he pieces announced were copy-rfght, md could not be givea -without penniaaioa if the ownetg. The pieces submitted in heir place, however, he hoped would he :qnally pleasing and acceptable. Mr Bartley, who was advertised to take part ,n the glees, was indisposed and unable to je present. Dr. Walker, however, had dndly consented to represent him.' the Orpbeus Glee Club, Messrs Howden, Skinner, Henderson, and Dr. Walker, gave the "Chapel," the "S^reuade," and "Come Silent Evening," in a highly c editable manner. Dr Walker sang "The Blue Alsatian Mountains" Duets were rendered with much taste by Means Austin and Worrall, and pianoforte solos by Misses Roy and Williams. Alias Hooper was loudly praised for her exquiiita mnsical silo, "Tarantella" (Heller), which wab deservedly applauded. Several part songs were given by the choir, including << A Summer my," " Blow Gentle Gale?," and " Ob, Hush Thee My Baby." The songs of the evening were very choice, and mostly satisfactory. We noticed especially the sweet sung, " Apart," ably rendered by Mi»s Tapper; "My Love has gone a Sailiog," by Miss Greco ; "Children 1* Voices" by Miss Wright; and " Teais of Memory" by Miss Cant, Miss Coster was peculiarly happy with her ballad, " Twickenham Ferry." We may mention that several of these young ladies are pupils of Mr Pooley, and their singing re flects much credit upon their teacher. Among the gentleman amateurs who dis played considerable ability were, Mr Austin in Byron's "Maid »f Athens,"Mr Massey jn " Killarney," and Mr Hcrapath in the " Storm Mend." The triQ3, " Drink to me only with thine eyes," a song of Shake speare's time.ancl " Ye Shepherds-.Tell Me," by Meiers Austin, Ferriday, and Warner, added to the interest of the evening. The whole closed with the national anthem, Mr Pooley accompanied the vocalists.

MR MURRAY AND THE FROZEN MEAT COMPANY.

(To the Editor,)

Sir,—As I live some distance from the city, I have only occasionally an opportunity of seeing your daily i*sue, and if it had not been for a friend, I should have missed see ing Mr Mdrray's letter. - It was only shown to me this morning, hence the delay in my reply. Mr Murray makes use of my name, and asks how I make out that the Orange Company expended £50,000, If Mr Murray will re-read my letter, he will find that I did not make out any thing ot the kind. What I said was this-that in Sjdney a Bell Cole man machine has been fitted up, at 3 a cost, inclusive of buildings, of £50,000, and the building is only capable of holding to frseze about what was proposed by the Waikato Company. Ihe remark I made about the Orange Company was that it had not proved a success It was thoughtat: first that all the beef required for Sydney"i would be killed up country and forwarded from Orange and other districts in cooling t tucks, but it is not the case, and never will be. Owners ot stock in Australia have found that thete is no equal to the live ■ market near this city, and the Government ace this also, aud they are now building yards at Homebush, at an immense cost, and erecting abbatoirs equal to the best known. The ignorance on the question of exporting provincial meat from Auckland is somethiog astonishing. Messrs Nelson Bros, and Williams, of Napier, have sold their business to a com pany for the purpose of exporting frozen meat, and Messrs Gear and Co. of Welling ton, have done the same; in the first case the capital being £50,000, in the second £100,000, nearly all called up, and as soon, as these two companies commence shipping, I think we shall find the price of stock quite dear enough in Auckland,' and a great deal too high to export. Mr Murray says my letter was written in hostility tm theproposedcompany. ladmitthis, because I saw the absuidity of such an expenditure, and I consider it would only have exposed our poverty to erect buildings, etc., and_ then find we hare nothing to export, for it is not very likely Mr Murray and others would export meat to make a better market for the stock that is daily arriving from Napier and Hawera. At the present time three fourths of our sheep are imported, and more than half our cattle. Referriog to the other portions of Mr Murray's letter, I will leave them to be answered by some abler pen.— Yours, &c, Joseph banks.

MR SPURGEON AND THE FLORAL CROSS.

(Tothe Editor.) , Siß,—The ignorance exhibited by "Joseph - Beereft," "J5.C.U.", "Charity," "1.N.", and otheis of that ilk, on the subject upoa which they have ventured to write, is truly lamentable. They evidently know little ; of the vital principle involved in the presen* tation made by Dr. Cowie, and the old : Batirical adage, Ne sutor ultra mpidam, pointedly applies to them. The greatest | compliment that could be paid to Mr Spurgeon is the abuse that he hai received .. at the hands of these scribes. Bight< • minded Protestants will not only exonerate him from all blame, but laud him for his Christian manliness, knowing, as they do, j I that faithful pastors are often castigated tor discharging the functions of their sacred office with Scriptural fidelity, The Protestant mawkishnesa that abounds in many quarters, now-a-days, is highly censurable, and' a re-action in this direction is imperatively needed. The charge brought against the world famed pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle, for joining the Liberation Society for the disestablishment of the '; Church of England, is a most absurd one. I Mr Spurgeon, in common with all other British subjects, possesses civil and politi cal rights, and he is perfectly justified in exercising them. The Apostle Paul : claimed the rights and privileges of a - Roman citizen when he found it neces sary to do so. The Liberation Society is not wholly composed of infidels and Roman Catholic?. Amongst its members are many of the most enlightened and :;; pious men in England. The ecclesiastical establishments of England and Scotland absorb an enormous amount of the wealth of the nation, without corresponding ad vantage in spiritual matters; and this being so, it is only fair and reasonable that they should cease f to be recognised as State institution, claim ing priorityover other churches that greatly S eclipse them in the furtherance of the Gospel, The voice of a vast majority of tbe people of Great Britain, and especially that -; o' the more religious section of them, isde- • I cidedly against Church Establishments, » which are now assuredly doomed Jo be | abolished.—Yours, &c,

ahti-Seubious Charity. November 30 th,

7Le "Presbyterian Church News" for De cember is before ua with its articles on questions of Church and general interest, 'Ihe Rev. McKenzie Eraser, M.A., of St. David's, contributes an able paper ou the "Theocracy," which is suggestive and carefully written. There is a'paper on " The Egyptian Question," by Dr Lansing, who has lired in the land of the Pharaohs twenty-seven years, consequently the essay is all the more valuable. The three things which be considers necessary to the moral and spiritual elevation of the fellaheen are, Protestant Christianity, the sound education which is iisresuU.and political and social institutions. "The Spiritual in Art" is also valuable in its suptcjestiveness anal practical bearing. The artist's office, in the writer's opinion,!! pro phetic ; he iB the interpreter of the spiritual truths wrapped up in material forms. He addresses himself not to the sensuous as an end, but through the sensuous to the moral sense. His aim is not the repro duction of the material form, but the re production of tbe spiritual beauty in character that lies within the form—the repetition of the divine in the human. His work, in respect of the natural revelation, is akin to that of the preacher in respect of the written revelation. The remaining sketches include a, brief notice of the lato Dr Pusey; the controlling of Christian living, news of the Churches at home and in Kew Zealand, sundry reports, literary extracts, and the treasurer's statement.
