[Eeutee’s Agency.] The Christchurch Exhibition Melbourne, Dec. 8. It is announced that all the exhibits for the Christchurch Exhibition may be re-shipped at this port duty free. The English Eleven BeatenSydney, Dec. 8. The cricket match between the English Eleven and Twenty-two of Paramatta was concluded to day and resulted in a victory for the local team by five wickets. The Englishmen in their second innings only succeeded in putting together Go runs. The Twentytwo went in requiring 49 to win. They obtained the required number with a loss of 16 wickets, and thus won the match by five wickets. The wicket was rather bumpy and the bowling of the Paramatta team was dead on the wicket.
