The Ashburton Guardian. Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit. SATURDAY, AUGUST 13, 1892. THE NO-CONFIDENCE MOTION.

The result of th» division pn Mr Bruce's amendment to the 'second reading of the Land Bill shows that the rariiMo! €M Liberal party are un broken, and that though some of the Government supporters may hot Bee /all they; w#nfc| : inj|th«t /.measure they look upon ■it M an improvement upon j;^ present 8" a grea% measnee pj reform to i 8 Jik^ly to pc subpheq by the Opposition.

The total valuation was: £122/225,029, an increase |of £11,087,315 over she valuation of 1888 ; nearly ejght millions of the increase' being m the North Island. At present the North Island is valued at abont 57J millions, the South Island at about 64| millions. The Com missioner thinks it likely that in three years' time, when the next assessment Is made, the North Island will be found to have over taken the South, t , ' The '• Tinuru Herald says :■—lt was ex pected that. the attempt by the salvage cbmr.any to tow off the 'Elginshire would be made this morning, but our latest informa tion is that they will not be ready for,, another week.

This is very tedious work, as the plates have to be drilled and tapped to receive screw bolts to hold, them together. They do not know exactly %fcjen this work will be completed. So far-as the present leakage' goes, the pumps can easily deal with it,' and if that' were rail thferft is* jto.W provided for the vessel might' be pulled off the reef any day. The salvors, however, are providing against |an increase of the leaks when she is floated. The pumps that have been fixed throw about 42 tons of water per minute, —a quantity that would require a pretty big lepa to keek then going at their best gait.
