THE KHARTOUM EXPEDI TION.

An outlino of Wolsolcy's March,

Cairo, December 22.—General Woboley will oomploto tho oencentration of Ins army at .Korti tho first week in January, and will begin his march through tho desert upon Shendy on tho 7th of January. The distance from Korti to Shondy is '200 miles, and General Wolsoloy calculates tho march will occupy sixtoen days, unless he meets with opposition from tho enomy en route. Simultaneously a movement will bo made from Suakim against Osman I.Mgna, in Ordor to secure from attack tlio (lank of tho Nile oxi>odition of General Wolsoloy. Ooneral Stevonson will leave G'iiiro for Sunkim on Wodnosday, to assume com mand of tho expedition from that place. - Major Chorinsido reports that out of tho garrison at Suakim of 1,200 marines and sailors, thoro aro only 100 effective men. Fresh troops will bo sont to Suakim. General Wolscloy is far from satislied with tho arrangomonts of tho expedition. He has sont furious complaints to tho War Otlicoof tho inefficiency and absolute break down of tho transport and commissary ser vices. Although a £ood two months) has elapsed since the pioneer corps left Sarasso, only 1,600 of tho 5,000 mon composing tho full forco of tho expedition have roached Korti. British onvoys havo left Korti for tho Kabbabish an; 4 othor tribes, which aro only weakly attached to El Mahdl's cuuso. Tho onvoys will endeavour to persuade theso tribes to outer into an alliance with tho English-

News From General Gordon. January 11.—It is officially stated that a messenger arrlvod at Khartoum on tho '27 th lilt, bearing a letter from General Wolseloy to Gordon, The messenger left Khartoum on the 20th, but was captured and beaten. The papers entrusted to him by Gordon wera all taken, with tho exception of a small note, which wa9 sown in his clotho*, and which said that all was well at Khar toum. The messenger says he saw live iteamers with troops. They were ongagod In seizing supplies for the Khartoum garrison. The messenger returned to Korti on foot by Way of Baynda.

the March Through tho Doacit. LoSDoy, January 17. —A dospatoh from Gakdul aays that thirty camels dropped dead on the march from Howenjatt. Tho troops suffered severely. A majority of the watorakins leaked, and tho men, yielding to their thirat, exhausted their rations of water prematurely. Very few fell out of line, and the condition of the men under the circumstances was splendid. All bore their hardships bravely, as is evinced by their eioging as cheerily as their parched throats would permit. They are keenly desirous to fight.

Lord Wolseley telegraphs as follows from Korti, under date of January 17th: "A large convoy has returned from Gakdul. The whole route is quiet. Tho convoy ro tamed to Howarab. Tho Howaivis tribes start with stores for Gakdul to-morrow. Sulep, chief of tho Kabbabish tribe, has come in. The English boats are now arriv ing. Out of 800 landed in Egypt, 7SO are still able to be uaed on the river. The others are being repaired. Very few were wrecked."

Colonel Burnaby, with a convoy of grain, joined General Stewart's forces at Gakdul od the 15th inst.

- The London " Standard's " correspon dent sends from Howenjatt:—" Wo are ex periencing the difficulty of a desorfc march. Thoimmense column starts at two a.m., and the march continues tho whole day. We are going to Gakdul, via Abuhalfa Wells, where we hope to find suiliciont water for men and camels. A small party left at Howenjitt was fired into ono night, but otherwise we have not been moloated. Small parties of Arabs, wearing the Mahdi's uniform, are roaming the deaort yot. Some sell us sheep, and assert there are only a fewrebela at Hetammeh. Tho heat is very trying, The camels go sixty hours without water, and the men are only allowed two pints daily. The water resembles pea soup id thickness. The soldiers freely offer a crown for a tumblerful. If tho Arabs had been in active hostility, thoy would havo rendered the desert impossible, and it would have been necessary for us to carry every oonce of food and water for both men ami animals. Sir Herbert Stewart's force consists prin •dpallyof the Mounted Infantry and Camel Corps, led by a troop ot the 19th Hussars, acting as scouts. It numbers about eleven hundred all told. Gakdul h slightly over one hundred miles from Korti, and about eighty miles from the Nile at Shendy. Of : the wen hundred men, abotit four hun dred will be left at Gakdul, where thoy will I entrench themselves, while the others return to Korti, and from there lead on the remainder of. the Cavalry Brigade, with the probable addition of the Royal Sussex Bepment (the 30th), whose boats havo JMt been arriving at Korti. By January 10th, therefore, if not before, Sir Herbert Stewart's column may bo on its way from Gakdul to the Nilo—or to Khartoum-direct -that is to say, via Shendy, whicli lies naif way between Khartoum and Berber. From Shendy to Khartoum tho Cavalry Brigade would have to march only one hundred miles.

General Earlo's Columns. After his intended operations against the Monastara, General Earle will resume his advance up the rivor to Abu Hamoi, where ™c end of the Nile turns southwards to Berber. At Abu Hamed—according to the detailed plans telegraphed—General Earle *ill open communications with Korosko, too then proceed to Berber. His infantry Mgiments will have to row themselves 100 miles from Handab to Abu Hamed, and 120 Bore from the latter locality to Berber. In wefivst-named section there aro at least six M-called cataracts, none of them, however, Wry formidable. These obstacles passed, "Wrest of the voyage will be comparatively pain sailing. The total relieving force 'ambers 2,400 men-viz., 900 infantry and ¥00 of tin mounted biijade, with six- JjMW guns. The vrholo of the expedi toonary force is expected to reach Korti by 08 middle of January.

HARBOUR BOARD ELECTION.

Thk shipowners and payers of dues of the port of Auckland assembled in largo num bers in the meeting room of tho Harbour Board' offices at noon to-day for tho purpose of carrying out after antiquated form their biennial elections of three ro presontatives to tlic Harbour Board So groat, indeed, was the throng, that after the town clock sounded the hour it became simply impossible to gain standing room, and many, therefore, wore obliged to remain outside in the lobby, wdilo others went away. Precisely to tho hour, the Chairman of tho Board (Mr Graves Aickin) mounted tho reporters' table and opened the proceedings. Mr George Harper was then elected to the chair, Mr Ebonozaor Way mouth proposed Mr Thomas Henderson, junior, as a lit and proper portion to ropresont in tho Harbour Board, tho shipping interests of tho port Ho was wcllknuwn to all and -was a thoroughly ataight man, who might be doponded to do his very best for tho in terests of his constituents. Mr D. Oxley seconded. Mr C, B- Stono nominated Mr Graves Aickin. Having been Chairman of tho Board himself 7io kno>\ who wero tho workers of that body, and ho could there fore say, without hesitation, that Mr' Aickin was among tho best of thorn. Ho had lately boeomo a ship owner, and no man attonded more zealously to tho interests of the shipping public, and particularly to tho interests of tho small shippors. Ho had laboured hard during his term of ollieo, and now that tho City Coaincil had pub licly dealt him an unmerited enub, it would bo a graceful not on tho part of tho shippers to return him in face of that body. Mr 11. C. Carr seconded the nomination. Mr George Cozens proposed Mr 1). H, McKonxio as a candidate, and Mr John Lamb seconded■ Mr A. H, Nathan nominated Mr John Lamb, and Mr \V. S. Lawrio socondod. Mr G. \V. Binney proposed Mr Malcolm Nleeol, and Mr Herman Brown socondod. Messrs D. Goldio, W. McCullagh, and R. M. Stark wero appointed scrutineers to count the shows of hands, and for that pur poso they took their stations on tho table beside tho Chairman. The shows of hands woro then taken in tho order and with tho result appended hereto; - Thomas Henderson, jun. ... 118 Graves Aickin 90 D. H. McKenzie 130 John Lamb 40 Malcolm Niccol 140 The Chairman accordingly declared Messrs McKonzie, Niccol, and Henderson dnly elected. Mr D. H. Mackenzie thanked the electors very heartily for the honour they had again done him.; Ho had been before them on many previous occasions during his 9 or 10 years of continuous service in tho Harbour Board, and he was gratified to find them renew their confidence in him. Ho could assure thorn that it had not beon misplaced, and that it never should bo, so far as their interests wero concerned. Mr Niccol cordially thanked tho electors for the honour they had paid him in placing him so high up on tho poll. He had done nothing in the Board to bo ashamed of, and he hoped that ho novor should. Mr Aickin said that although not one of the successful candidates, ho had much pleasure in thanking tho electors for the measure of support that they had given him. He was not so woll known to many of thorn as somo of the other candidates, and therefore, the result did not surprise him greatly. He had en deavoured to do his duty while in the Board, and ho know of nothing he had done, of which he had any reason to feel ashamed. All his actions could boar to eeo the daylight, and ho only asked those who wore opposed to him to look into his con duct. They would then bo convinced that ho had striven to render good service to the public. Mr Hendorson thanked the electors for tho position in which they had placed him. It was almost tho tir.st occasion on which he had undertakon public duties, and he hoped thatj the contidonce shown in him would not bo misplaced. Mr John Lamb also returned thanks. The assemblage thon dispersed after passing a vote of thanks to tho chairman.

THE HOSPITAL ENQUIRY.

Dr. Bond Asked to Resign.

At tho mooting of the Hospital Committee this afternoon, Colonol Haultam said that although through Dr. Richardson's refusal to give evidence before the Com mittee. Tho enquiry waa not so full as they could have wished. The Com mittee had como to a decision to recommended that Dr. Bond be requested to send in his resignation. Thoy were of opinion that Dr. Bond had boen guilty of harshness and arbitrary conduct towards Smith, and ho displayed a feeling to wards the medical stall. They did not reflect on Dr. Bond's professional profi ciency. He was most proficient, and had exhibited great zeal in the performance of his duties, but 1113 tomperament unfitted him for tho position. He was too anxious for controi and independence. Tho report of tho sub-committee was adopted, and it was decided to send copies thereof to Dr. Bond and to the Government.
