Graham, Esg., with a Southern Cross of the Bth from which we make the following extracts : The Election for the Superintendency has resulted in the return of Mr. Robert Graham by a large majority.

First innings 82 22 Second do 70 22 Total 152 4-t Majority for Auckland 108 The proceedings terminated with a dinner, the usual toasting and complimenting.
