This day. The scheme of.iharbor works by the Engineer appears to find but little favor with the Board. The subject came under discussion yesterday on a motion proposed'by Dr Campbell to refer tbe plan to the best engineering talent in England for endorsement or otherwise. The question was discussed, and it was finally agreed, to postpone the resolution until the Engineer's details and report rere submitted. The importanoe of the qut>s-
tion was fully realised by the members, and this was shown by the proposal to expend £2000 to have the best' professional talent on the spot to report on the affair; but the general opinion of the Board seemed 1 to be unfavorable to the plan of the Engineer. The Board decided to promote a bill to enable it to vote £500 towards the erection of a Sailors' Home, and that the General Government should be asked to rote a like sum. i . Sev.er.al. gentlemen in Auckland; all more or less intimately acquainted with diamond fields, are arranging to have a systematic examinatioa made of the locality where it is asserted diamonds were found.
