Mr Lip ffinndonbtedly shows the best collection Scolinary apples, and it docs tern great ed" Mr Mackcchnio's Libenan crabj o somewhat of a novelty, and attract a Zl deal of notice. Tn order of preced ence the Rrapcs claim attention next, and he feature, of tbia class js certßinly Mr B. BlLzard's princely exhibit. It consists of two larpo and taperinß bunches 0 { reshaped pniple-hned grape", in peiicct condition, and with nil tho charm of full maturity upon them. From M artistic point of view, nothing bDtter conld bo desired. The clnitsrs in «ze, form, and outline recal the b:,t eilorts of Lit painting. Not a berry is wanting, Hie rich bloom of a hca'.thy ripenesses upon each one, and they have attained an immenso development. The judges cojld lia?e bad no hesitation in awarding the ntizß to Mr Bleazard. The next best of tins variety (viz., the purple grape) is ihe iladrcafield Court, of which several bunches have been tent in, but not for competition. Tho Snow's Muscat arc also good. Mc-srs , Jr. Mason and E. Hrsketh carry oil tho ioaours for white grapes, and the speci mens they show are highly creditable indeed. Mr Ja?, Bloorntield tikes tho award for open-air grown grap s with aomo Bio samples. Ind.ed, the whole display Of grapes is unasnally good. Once more Mr E. Hobbs proves himself to be the premier peach-grower, and a great deal of praice might be expended upon each of his notable varieties, viz., The Peach, \lith the rich glow of sunict upon it", vel vety akin, and a suggestivenesss of ex quisite mellowness about it that would fire the soul of on epicure ; the Pokeno Pre mier, a lighter, more freshly-coloured, and pretty peach; and Hobb3's Late, a blend ing of the two. The same gentleman takes the first prize for plums and dessert pe.rs, of the latter fruit bis Bon Chrd tiens and Marie Louises being eipecially good. Mr Shatp and Mr Mackechnie are also noteworthy exhibitors in tlrs department. Mr o. H. C4arnier shews some well-grown quinces, and Mr \f. F. Buckland a capital assortment of water melons, wWle Mr T. Cheeseman exhiibits a couple o£ persimmons ot Japin plums, which wonld appear to tie very well adapted for growth in this p-rt ot the colony. Not the least object of interest connected with thesbowof fruit is tho colic > tion of fruity jam*, a^d jellies preserved in gla:a jars by means of £al;c;y)ic acid, winch M. CooK and Sons of Freeman's Bay exhibit. Some doubt was lately thrown upon the innocuous chrrjctcr of the pc- Bervative fluidj but tho Messrs Cook have demonstrated its wholesome ness and efficcy, The pot , and foliage plants occupy a very prominent place in the Show, aid they arc unusually good of their kind. Mr lileazard's ferns and begonia? are luxuriant, vigorous, and pretty, deserving the prize they received, andMrß, Morriu's ferns and lycopods are 1 ako very handsome, while Mr James Mason's pot and greenhouxe plants sustain his repute as a nurseryman. Mr A. E. Isaaci' charmingly-variegated coleut.e3 cannot escape attention, and are fully entitled to hteh praise. The cut flowers suffer through Deiog kept in a small ante room with a close atmosphere, for to-day they appear at their worst. Con sidering tho 'advanced nature of the sea;on, the display is crcditible, Mr Lippiatt's dahlia?, some pretty phloxes, Mrs Clark's verbenrs, the Misses C. C. and Mr. Speight's bonqnets, and Mr Mason's bridal bouqnet, are the chief points of interest in tnia class. Amongst tbc vege tables Mr"W. F. Bnckland's tomatoej and piemelons occupy the leidin'j position, and are undeniably the priacipal exhibit. Mr Beay has ihcre, too, some fine cabb?gcs, Mr Hesketh a good show of beetroot, Mr A. B. Isaacs some " big th'ncs" in pump kinß, and Mr Young ai admirable sample of onions. The vegetables, on the whole, were very creditable. SpeaVng generally, the awards of the judgei eeem to have Riven great satisfaction, and everyone Is londin his praises of Mr Cheeseman (the energetic Secretary) for his excellent arrangements.

Madame Simonsen's benefit takes place to-night in the Theatre Royal, and a "bill" of unusual attractiveness hrs been prepared for the occasion. The election of Licensing Commi'sioneis for Arch Hill is taktog place to-day, but is a merely formal affair, as three of the can didates hare \ii-tupHy retired, le.viDg the required number of gentlemen before the electors. They will therefore be elect d. Clurg-3 of Sunday tradint preferr d against Albert Fisher, Donald Urquhart, and Patrick Gleeton, wi'l.be heard at the Police Court to-moirow. The two latter cases have arisen out of a charge of assualt brought against William Inlrater.

Mr Maccabe went through his laughter provoking entertainment at the Opera Houcc last night before another good house. Isvery hit told most effectively, and tho ap plause was both hearty and frequent. The programme will be reputed this evening. A man named Thomps Gathercole, jun,, was committed for tiial at Warkworth yes terday on a charge of cattle-stealing. Con stable McLcod teing engaged as a witnrs , Detective Walker was tent down to conduct the procecution. Mr Edwin Hesketh ap peared for the defence. Mr 11. Keal's has received the following tenders for erection of a school at Bay field : —Crowe, £192 ; Sha'Vr, £173 j Da\ie% £170- EUingbam, £166; B-croft, £163 18, - Tuik, £157 103; Roster, £154; Smith, £150 ; Culp;n md Gardner, £149 ; jNorris, £148 ; Upton, £145 ; Keys Bros., £133 ; Lee, £11810:; Hatcher, £114 10s; Ford, £113 ; Souster, £112.

The woman Inkster, who was assaulted last week by her husband, hes so far re covered that'she wi'l be able to appear and give evidence .at the Police Court to morrow. The injuries are not so serious as were at iirst supposed, and the charge has consequently been reduc.d to one of common assault.

At the District Court to-day, Mr J. B. Rusiell made on application on behalf of Mr Campbell for a new trial in the caso of Donnelly v. Campbell, recently heard at the Thames. Mr Alexander, for Mr Donnelly, also addresied the Court, and the application was granted, on payment ot costs by defendant. The case will be re heard on April 3rd, To the Editor: Sir,—ln reply to "Well Wisher's" letti r re find ot a valuable coal seam at Cabbage Bay, the following is bonafide, and I can vouch for its accuracy : Three valuable seama have been found — one 14ft. thick, one about Bft., and a smaller one. The crop has been traced for two and a-half miks. It runs near a creek and dips into a bi'l 50D feet back, and theie is no occasion for sinking. A tram could easily be laid to run and tip into the vessels loading. This coal is equal to the Grey River, and cannot be surpassed for black smiths ; also, it makes a fine coke.—l am, &c, Bono. • The weather for the past week or so has been of a most changeable character, de ijin<» all the attempts of local Wigginsei to make trustworthy prognostications, even half a day in advance. Evenings have clo ed threateningly, and been succeeded by days of exceptional brightness, while most promising mornings have but proved tbe precursors of a day's ceasele:s ram. Yesterday was a beautiful day, and this morning opened fairly. Up till one o'clock all was favourable; but suddenly ram be-»an to fall, and for about a quarter of an hour it pelted in true tropical style, thoroughly drenching those unwaiy travel lers who had been tempted out minus their umbrellas, and who had gone beyond easy reach of a verandah. The "Herald" of this morning says:— " The City Assessment Court, for appeals against valuation, sits on the 21st, at noon, not on the 3Ut, as stated in our evening contemporary," If our contemporary's staff were as sharp at looking- over their own copy, as they are at examining the STAB for something to "crib," they would Bee that they have put the saddle on the wrong horse, in throwing on us the bloiiie ot aa error which originated with them selves. In the "Herald" of Thursday morniDg there appeared a paragraph stating that the Assessment Appeal Court would be held on the "31st." The correct date is, we believe, tbe 21st instant, t t a'l intend "2 appellants are probably well aware.
