A very severe shock •was felt at Kakanui Mouth at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, by which the walls of the smoko house belonging to the Sew Zealand Meat Preserving Company (one of the strongest stone buildings in the town) ■were rent from top to bottom. Another English Eleven pob AtjsteaLIA. — The news received by the la3t mail (says the Avstrafasiari) that a team of professional cricketers -n '1 positively visit the Australian color-'es di ing the next season has created quiic a flutter of excitement in ci'.cketing circles, and already our chances against such a team as will be sent are being discussed.'.. A letter has been received from Mr James Lillywhite, the well-known professional player, in which ho states the fo"owirig players have sisjoified tho' • intention of making the trip : — Southerton, Jupp, I/illywhite, ' Greenwood (who came out with Grace's eleven), Charlwood, Lockwood, Allan Hill, Emmett, Pooley, A. Shaw, Morley, and TP'yett. There can be no doubt as to the strength of the team, which combines the best professional talent both from' the north and- south of England. " It is' terrifically' atrongin bowling; and in A. Shaw; Hill, Emmett, Southerton, Lill) ;vhite, and'Morle'y; are ' mentioned the .very: cream 'of Brig-' lish- professional- bowjing. Shaw, : of ' the alow and -medium. -pace round' arm bowlers,; stands unrivalled in England, and' there i3 no trundler in r Great; Britain, who has oftener felledjtho wicket of W..G. Grace. Allan ffi!l, the pride of Yorkshire, is the fastost bowler in the world, and being "never off the spot." with a great break from the off, it can easily bo imnginedthat he wi" be a vory troublesome opponent. Nearly evoy man in the -12 can bat, and there will not be that "tail end" which was noticeable, in Grace's eleyenl In the field theeleven cannot we"be surpassed ; and with the celebrated' Surrey wiokotkeepor, tPooley, behind the sticks, andSba'w and Hill bowling, the Australian batsmen had better be ; on their guard. The eleven will leave England by tho September mail, arriving at Adelaide about November 12, and returning Home by the, April mail, in time /or the English cricket season. They will thus have two Aonths longer stay in tho Australian Colonies than any previous Eug^sh cloven. In addition to playing in Victoria, New South Wales,Tasmania, and South Australia, New Zealand, and r Queensland will be visited by them.] . ; .Philadelphian Statistics.— As ; Philadelphia is to. be -the seat of the great Centennial Exhibition in. 1876 and large bodies of ; foreigners 1 will doubtless visit; it, Consul Kort--right in his, commercial report on that port; just issued^ 'details for their .'information^he(o|'owing accurately collected 'statistics, wh jch give" at a' glance the.' general aspect o'f. the city,, Philadelphia' 'has a' population o£ 'nearly. 800,000,0 and ' ; *ves in . an . area of 129i square miles.
