(Press Telegraph Agency.) Grahamstown, March 19.

Sir George Grey addressed the electors in the Theatre Eoyal, which was crowded. Major Davis was chairman. Sir George commenced by paying a high compliment to the abilities and personal worth of the late Superintendent. He referred to his long connection with colonial affairs and New Zealand particularly, how after his retirement from public life he had, without regard to personal considerations, come forth at the call of his fellow-settlers to take his place in the van. Twenty-five years ago, accompanied by only one or two Europeans, he had come from Auckland in an open boat, had gone up the Thames river in canoes, and then found from the natives that there was gold. He hoped to galvanise the Thames into new life, by opening up the country for settlement, and offering inducements to miners to cultivate the soil and remain on the ground to be always ready for new discoveries. Beferriog to immigration, he condemned the system of spending large sums of money in bringing out the scum of foreign ports—people with a language and customs different from our own. Free immigration carried out thus was a vicious system. He would advocate the formation of mining villages throughout the main highways of the interior. He did not approve of the expenditure of millions on the construction of railways in other portions of the colony, in many instances solely for the advantage of individuals, but would try and get for thi« province s*eir share of the mil-

lions to be devoted to making roads. Be representation, he said the present system was illegal, as the clause in the Constitution providing for representation was drawn by himself, and provided for a population basis, and as it was illegal, they should not stand it. In speaking on the education question, he considered the State should alone support secular education. In reply to questions, he said he would grant extended powers to municipalities and State aid. In a lengthy speech he explained his position as a proviucialist. He considered that with provincial institutions New Zealand was the first country in the world. He objected to the present system of election of Governor, who really was a nominee of the Secretary of State, and received such appointment for services rendered to his party in the Houses of Parliament. He objected to the present illegal constitution of the Upper House, whose members, by the constitution of the colony/should have been elected, not nominated and virtually pensioned with £l5O for life. The speaker made some uncomplimentary remarks respecting a portion of the Knights of St Michael and St George. He intended to support the constitution of the colony, although he had been told but a few days ago that the Government did not want it taken into consideration. A resolution was passed unanimously, thanking the speaker for his address, and expressing full confidence in his ability to discharge the duties of Superintendent of Auckland. Wellington, March 19.

SOUTH CANTERBURY V DUNE DIN CRICKET MATCH. {From, a correspondent of the Press.") Dunedin, March 19. This match commenced on the oval a little before noon today. The weather was glorious. Collinson, the captain of the Dunedin team, having won the toss, decided to take the field, and disposed his men as follows'.—Allen, wicket-keeper 5 Collinson, point; H. Rhodes, long-slip; Macfarlane, mid-on; Clark, leg and cover; Glen, bowler and slip; Paramor, the same; Sampson, leg and cover-point; Reade, short-leg ; Tait, third man; Morrison, mid-off. Neilson and W. G. Rees appeared to face the bowling of Glen and Paramor, but the partnership was very brief, as Glen quickly dismissed Neilson with a regular trimmer. 1 —1—4. Fen wick joined Rees, and between them the runs came a pace, the latter playing with great judgment and care. Before 20 appeared on the telegraph Collinson put on Reade at Paramor's end, and immediately thereafter Fenwick was stupidly run out by Rees. 2—8—24. Baker then joined Rees who commenced to punish Glen, who at the start was bowling remarkably well, giving six successive maidens, and getting him away to leg for a couple, then cutting him to cover for a brace, and next driving him to off just a little too high for Macfarlane. After he had bowled three maidens Rees commenced to take liberties with Reade's, nicking singles, and occasionally driving him to off for a couple, and once drove the ball right back into the hands of the bowler, who, however, did not succeed in retaining it. Tait relieved Glen, and in his first over Baker was smartly caught in the slips by Reade, who, staying the ball with one hand, struck it up and secured it. 3—5—48. E, Fowler next joined Rees, and commenced to hit out in his peculiar free style, and when he had added 8 to the score was unfortunate enough to play Tait on to his wickets. 4—8—65. Stevens was the next incomer, and at once displayed a tendency to slog, Glen meanwhile relieving Reade, and his first ball Rees hit high into the slips, where Tait let it through his fingers. Stevens retired shortly afterwards, being capitally caught at the off by Morrison. 5—3—73. Cook then joined Rees, who was given his third life by Clarke at cover, but Rees' time had come, for in the very next over he played Tait on to his wickets. 6—50—82. Rees' half century were in the main got by capital cricket. Hammersly (who has gained more renown at football than at cricket, having played football for England in the national contest) joined Cooke, and the partnership was unbroken when two o'clock luncheon time arrived, when the score stood at 85. Half an hour's adjournment was made, and at three o'clock play was resumed Almost immediately the partnership between Cook and Hammersley was dissolved, the former being very badly run out. 7—4—89. Clarke was the next man, and in trying to run 2 lost his wicket. 8—1—93. Hammersley after playing very carefully throughout, and showing firm defence, drove back one of Tait's, which the latter secured. 9—8—103. Smith, the last man, did not add to the score, the innings terminating for 104. The features of the innings were the batting of Rees, the bowling of Tait and Glen, and the excellent long-stopping of H. Rhodes, The Otago men then went to the wickets, Allan and Sampson first facing the bowling of Fowler and Clark, which they both commenced to punish, 20 quickly appearing on the telegraph. Then Sampson was clean bowled by Fowler (1 —6—20), the last ball in his fifth over; and in the first of Neilson's second, he having relieved Clark, Allen cut him sharp, Baker taking it nicely behind the wickets. 2—12—20. Reade and Macfarlane now got together, and gave the field great deal of leather hunting. Seven changes were tried, but to little purpose. Hedley, a Victorian left-hand player, kept on with slows, which, owing to there being no wicket-keeper, Reade stepped out to, but McFarlane fell to them. 3—20—79. Paramor was the next comer. He went in for hard hitting, and ran up his 42 in very quick time. He made one of the best hits of the day to square leg, clean out of goal for four. He was caught in the slips. It was then Bix, and stumps were drawn, when Otago had made 146, with five wickets to go down, The South Canterbury are very

weak in bowling, but Baker, and especially Stevens at short-leg, fielded well. Clarke let off Reade at cover with an easj chance when he made twenty. About 2000 people were present. James Fulton umpired for Otago, and Turton for Canterbury, ' Rees, who made the top score for Canterbury, is the well known explorer. He has not played since the All England matches.

[FROM OUR AUCKLAND CORRESPONDENT.] Auckland, March 19.

The long drought has caused a great scarcity of water. At the Thames the reservoir is nearly dry, and great anxiety is felt. A strong gale of wind is blowing to-day, but no rain.

Mohi Tawhiao, the principal chief at Hokianga, has been killed by a fall from his horse. He was a great friend of Europeans. An effort is being made to resusitate the Early Closing Association. The rule of early closing has been broken through by many of the shopkeepers. ' A small house, occupied by an old man, was burned clown at North shore to-day. The exertions of the neighbours prevented the extension of the fire to the adjoining premises. John Cunningham, an immigrant, was sentenced to-day to a month's imprisonment for larceny, committed immediately after his arrival.
