* (UY-TEL£OBAI J H.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Hahmngs, February 22. The meeting held at the Theatre last evening to devise means for assisting the fund being raised to aid the Queensland sufferers was largely attended and very entbasianttc. Mr George Ellis, Mayor, preluded, and made a touching speech. A Urge and influential committee was formed to make a bouse to hnuie canvass, it is also pfOposed to give a band concert on the racecourse on Sunday week, when it is expected three brass b'*uda will take part. The Mayor wit ask the Commissioners to run a special train and give the proceeds to the funds. The band will also give an open air concert on Saturday night, and a progress subscription will be taken up. Hope U expressed teat tbe council will decide on the No. 3 engine instead of No. 2, as the latter will only cost £IOO more, and the extra water will he equal to another engine. A few pounds ibould not be allowed to stand in the way when arranging for suob a necessary projection.
