Ir we mistake not the foundering of H.M.S. Serpent at the entrance to the Bay Biscay will be the last straw to break the back of the British public's patience in regard to the Admiralty and its costly vagaries. The foundering of this vessel we must assume to be entirely due to faulty construction, for the question of bad seamanship: which enshrouded the loss of H.M.S. Captain in the same locality some years ago cannot, we believe, be raised In this case, as vessels of the class to which the Serpent belonged do not carry canvas

OUR WATER SUPPLY. Mr. Whitehead asked-1. Is the Government aware that the water supply to the Robinson

Road district was cut off for several days last week, and that no notice whatever was given of the fact so as to allow the inhabitants to make provision to obtain water from some other source? Will the Government issue the necessary instruc. ons so that the public may have some notice in future of when, and for how long, it is proposed to cut off the water supply? 2. Is the Govern- ment aware that there is a very great scarcity of water in the Western district at the Peak, and will the Government state what measures they are taking, or propose to take, to meet the emergency?

The Chairman in moving the adoption of H. Granny h, C. S. Tarf report and, accounts said: The reppit and Mames, c substlaute is Charf accounts have now been in your hands for some days and with your permission we will take them ne read. This being the first year of the Company's working the accounts are somewhat meagre and we have really very little to add 10 what is set down in the printed statements. According to latest advices from Sandakan every thing was going on well on the estate and of the area brought under cultivation and the correspondingly small crop. The latter. however, is expected to turn out of good quality and we bope it won't be at any rate, less than Pcs 250. The present financial sorry to position of the Company, I am say, is not bright and unless some assistance is speedily Irthcoming things will come to an absolute deadlock At present we are without funds to go on with and these mast be provided in sufficient quantity to enable us to bring the pre- seat season's crop to market. For this we estimate we shall require upwards of $13/13,000. From farce of circumstances we have found it necessary to confine ourselves entirely to present season's operations leaving those for next year on one side, but so far the manager has been able to fell some 100 fields for next year without entailing extra expense, and these will be available should the necessary means be forthcoming. I am to say that the London scheme, for consideration of which we had sur extraordinary general meeting on 7th alto. has not come to any definite result so far. We bave been in constant correspondence with Lon- don agents on this subject and the last telegram from them an 21st inst, I am glad to say, stili bulde dat some hope of is being carried through The want of success up to the present is hardly. to be wondered at considering the financial crisis which has recently prevailed there. Should no assistance of this kink be forthcomeing it muchi test with the shareholders as to what course they will adopt for the fulare of the Company. I must be remembered that the indebtedness of the Company will have to be liquidated and further exper-diture and funds made, for the purpose saving what should be an asset of seme, value in this season's crop. 1 beg to propose that the report and accounts as presented be accepted and passed, but before putting same to the meeting. I will be happy to give any information, share holders may wish for on any points connected with same, I should mention that of the balance appearing at debit, of working account it is estimated that an amount of $16,800 can be carried forward to crop of 1891 should work be carried on,

This Association March was played yesterday abernoon (24th inst.), at the Race-course, and resulted in the best exposition of the game on the part of the Club, that we have vet witnessed. We were glad to see the Club Colours worn by nearly all, the term and think that this in some degree assisted to render the game so easy to follow. At 4.50 p.m. Vignoles kicked off for the Club, and the play at once became of a lively description, the ball travelling from one end of the ground to the other, without material, advantage to either side': the back play of both teams being very strong, After some few minutes play a corner kick fell to the Club, but nothing resulted and the Company forwards getting possession of the ball ran

The Acting Colonial Secretary said he had to informa Hix Excellency that the water had been cut off for a few hours in Roblasan Rond, in the neighbourhood of Mr. Leach's house, owing to the carelessness of a turn-cock As soon as he knew of it he gave the necessary orders for the supply of water to be continued to the residents of that road, and by 1.30 p.m. on the day in question communication in the 'mains," which had been Interrupted for a few

re-established, hours,

It might be accessary at some future time to cut off the supply of water to the houses in Robinson and other roads and when that was so, dae notice would be given, through the columns of public Press. With reference to the second question, he could inform the bon member that there had been but one application sent in from a resident of the Western District at the Peak, an employd of the Tramway Company. Steps were being taken to supply the whole of the houses at the Peak upon the plans laid down by the Hon. Chadwick, while recently here. It would take a good deal of time to do all that was intended in connection with the water supply of the Peak; but it afforded. him pleasure to state that only to-day 1,978 packages of goods, ordered under the advice of Mr. Chadwick, arrived here by the English mail.

Beyond corner kicks to elther side, nothing further resulfed till half time, On resurning, the game was of the same lively character--the defensive powers of the backs and goalkeepers on either side being severely taxed.
