AUCKLAND.
Yesterday.
Mr Alderton interviewed the Lincolnshire delegates at Hamilton, and invited them to visit Captain Colbeck's Kaipara block, and Whangarei , and Hokianga lands, Mr Grant said he had no intention of visiting the north of Auckland, as he had been informed the land there was broken arid generally inferior. They will probably be induced to visit the north of Auckland, though Waikato influences are working against it. This day. The Penguin arrived from the Sounds. As the excursion was passing Portland Island a passenger, Mrs Ashdey, gave birth to a male child. A deputation of Waiuku settlers waited on the Hon. Mr Whitaker to urge the survey of a branch line from Pukekohe to Waiuku. The deputation stated rough statistics would shewed the line would pay. Hon. Mr Whitaker said Government would not construct any further lines in present state of the finances of the colony, and it was doubtful whether they could complete the the lines undertaken. The Government would not take over any more branch lines. He asked the" deputation to prepare statistics for the Minister of Public Works who would shortly visit Auckland.
