The Resident Magistrate, Mr H. Ct. S. Smith, delivered judgment in the Ti m m ph case on Monday. The court suspended the captain's ceitificate for three yeai. 1 -, and oidered him to pay three-fourths of the costs, while the chief officer's ceitificate was suspended foi six months, and he was oideied to pay the remaining fouith of the amount of the co>>ts. The following special telegrams, dated London, January Bth and i)th, have been published in the "N.Z. Herald :— The steamer Naomi, belonging to Queensland, has made a trial tiip at JSdinbuigh, and gained a speed of 15 knots. She takes her departure for Sydney on the 14th inst. — The Panama ' Railway Company have yielded to the request of M. de Lesseps.— It is repotted that the Triple Alliance will not pei mit the overthrow of King Alfonso. —Riaz Washa having refused the vacant seat in the Egyptian Cabinet, Nubar Pasha has been summoned.— The French Press are unanimous in condemning the proposed abandonment of the Soudan. It has now been definitely decided that the Waikato cricket team leave for Auckland on Monday next, the 14th inst., and although one or two good men remain behind, Btill it may be called a fairly representative team. With Messrs Stafford, Wilson, and Pilling its strength might be augmented, but unfortunately the two latter are unable to go. It is very certain though that the subjoined are men who will ati ive their utmost to uphold the honour and reputation of their district, and even if not successful with the Auckland representatives, will be weM to the fore in the rest of their matches. Messrs Forrest, 'Fitzpatrick, Grierson, Collins, Stevens, Chap. him, ff, Jfupj, A. ft SWtogr, Ow)
Cotton, Hinton, Benge, and M. Stubbing will comprise the team, and should render a good account of themselves before they votum. An exact libt of the matches will ho published on Saturday. One word to the players, that is, to settle down to every minute at practice they can get before they go down, for their work is not too easily cut out during the coming week.

On Tuesday Fit/gerald was sentenced to two yeai*' hard labour, as there weie two pie\ions convictions against him. The lemaining cases heaid were of no public interest. The calendar is a very light one
