Auckland Diamond Field.

(FECK OUR OWN COBBESPONDENT.)

The leaden cup, with the crystals in it, which were steeped in fluoric acid, was uncovered yesterday evening in the presence of Messrs Courtney, Douglas, Burns, MoCullough, D. Richardson, Greenshilds, JenkinsoD, Harrow, and Miss Burslem, when four stones were declared by Mr Courtney to be diamonds, because they were not affected by the acid. One, the largest found on the preceeding evening, appeared as bright as if it had been polished. Mr Courtney says all the crystals were in an advanced state towards* formation into diamonds, and the stones found are of a different character from any found in the world, and of excellent water. They will be exhibited at Mr Greenshield's, and will afterwards be presented to the museum.
