' Easiness otices. AR WITH RUSSIA.—At the pret Mint, juncture it would be difficule for any dne except a prophet of th highest rank to aay whether or not the present negotiations between England and Kn—i» will lead to a general European war, or whether they will end in smoke. Uiß absence of fall information as to what Is transpiring between the two countries may indicate that the political breeze is i blowing harmlessly past; or, it may be J tiie awful silence which generally precedes a storm. In either case, we ought to be prepared for the worst. If a general war breaks ont the price of nearly every article of commerce will rise. Among other commodities, wool and labor will go up. How; is the time, therefore, to lay in a ■took of clothing, before the general ad vance begins. In ord«r that we may not be eanght napping we have just purchased a Splendid Assortment of Winter Tweeds and other mateiails necessary to a well equipped tailoring establishment, which we are prepared to offer at unusually low prices for cash. Regarding style and fit, it is almost needless for us to repeat what everbody knowa. viz, that by oar scien tific mode of catting, and the care exer cised by ns in fitting the figure, a m's-fit is an impossibility.— Craighead and Co., Merchant Tailors, Tancred street.

In consequence of the firm MEEOH & Co., of Aahburton, F Dealers, having been dissolved, and in order to facilitate a settlement between JOHN MEEOH (who takes over the business) and his retiring partner, a CHEAP SALE will commence from to* day, of the whole of %he stock of well seasoned furniture of all kinds, ironmon gery, crockery, etc., will be cleared out at HALF-PRICE.

Windermere, 6th Jane, 18S6. Gbutlemen, —Your requisition, inviting me to stand for Wakanui, adds one more to the many tokens of goodwill which I have received from my fellow settlers in the County of Ashburton. Although I would much prefer at the present time to lake no further burdens upon my shoulders, I feel that a requisition such as that which you have pre sented to me is almost of the nature of a command to discharge a public duty. 1 therefore have the honor to accept your invitation, and will take an early opportunity of addressing the electors. Having been amongst the first to invite Sir Julius Vogel to stand for Ashburton I shall, if returned, be prepared to support whatever measures he may bring forward in the interests of the Colony. I would support such measures of the Customs Tariff as would conduce to the establishment of any industry which gave promise of flourishing in the land ; but I would object to the imposition of heavy duties to stimulate enterprises which would collapse whenever that support might be withdrawn. 1 should vote for the purchase of the Disfict Railways, at an equitable price, as between the shareholders of the railways and the ratepayers of the colony, and would advocate the repeal of the Act as a measure which should nerer have been placed upon the Statnto Book. The Railway between Canterbury and the West Coast 1 regard as a work of Colonial importance, which the government should take in hand immediately, should it nut be taken up by a London Syndicate. Upon the question of Federation, 1 am of opinoin that New Zealand should, as far as possible, retain independence of action, and that the questions to be deter mined by a Federal Council should be limited to defence against a common enemy, the exclusion of European criminals from the Islands of the South Seas, and other matters in which there could be no clashing of Australian with New Zealand interests I am, Gentlemen, Tour very obedient Servant, EDWARD G. WRIGHT, To Donald Williamson, Esq., and the other gentlemen signing the relation.
