WELLINGTON

Saturday, 11.40 a.m. The Wellington Independent of to-day says that Mr J. Shepherd, the member for Nelson, has no claim to be appointed a Minister. Yesterday afternoon an influential meeting Was held in the Superintendent's office to consider means for developing the West Coast coalfields, and particularly for opening tip a coal trade between Wellington and Greymouth. The Superintendent pointed out that ample employment could be found for screw colliers between Greymouth and Wellington, and proposed the formation of a company, with a capital of £50,000, in shares of £10 each, one shilling per share to be paid on application and ss. per share on allotment, With a monthly crU of 2s, Gel, per share

until £3 per share had been paid up, after which no call to be made at intervals of less than one month ; that as soon as 1,000 shares had been applied for a meeting of shareholders should take place for the purpose of appoint ing directors. He stated that the present consumption of coal here is estimated at 2,r>00 tons per month. The motion was then carried in favour of an immediate formation of a company to develop the AVest Coast coalfi elds. One thousand shares were applied for before six o'clock.

In reply to a telegram from the Provincial Council, Mr Curtis replied that negotiations with the Colonial Government respecting the railway had only just been completedfand the main condition attached to the lease was the construction of the railway. That bein« otherwise provided for, the Waste Lands Board will re-consider the matter to determine whether the mine shall continue to be worked by the Provincial Government. If not, upon what conditions it shall be leased to private persons. No* decision can be come to until after the meeting of the Provincial Council in April next.

In reply to a telegram, Mr Charles O'Neill, chairman of the County Council, Westland, telegraphed the Council that he would be prepared to receive an offer from a substantial company for the lease of the Grey Coal Reserves.

There are no cargoes of coal in port. The Gazelle is expected from Newcastle, but her cargo will be taken up for steamer's use. It is difficult to quote a price for coal. Nominally it is £4 per ton. Saturday, 12.22 p"m. The Circuit Court will be opened on Ma'"' 11. The work will be got thro- n he £ Mr Justice Johnson goes +-; AUoWa £ d . Dur ing his absence tb^ fl be no sitting . of the oouit, co^., e q uent iy. ]yj r j lls tice Greeson is n0 - coining a resported. It is rumoured that Mr Shepherd, of Nelson, has been promised a seat in the Ministry; but the possibility of such a promise being given effect to is very distant. It is quite certain that the appointment of Mr Shepherd would be unpopular, and would alienate many of the best friends of the Ministry, not because of any personal ob jection, but the impossibility of discovering what claim he has upon the partjj which he only joined at the very last moment, at a critical period, and after he had carefully ascertained that he was likely to be on the winning side. He would not impart the least additional strength to any Ministry, whilst he would certainly cost it a few votes. The Independent to-day, in its summary article, says that at present no steps have been taken to supply the seat rendered vacant 'by Mr Hall's resignation.

THE RUSSIAN IRONCLAD KAS KOWISKI.

Much alarm has been caused by the acco\mt pub lished in the Southern Cross of this morning of the visit and proceedings of a Russian rnan-o'-war. We admit that in these politically uncertain times the sudden appearance in our port of such a monster, bearing the Russian flag would of itself be sufficient to cause serious apprehension,, but we can assure oar readers that there is no occasion for alarm, the state ments published this morning being utterly untrue. We are surprised that the Southern Cross should pub lish such Bo,ron Maunchausen-like statements, calcu lated to alarm everybody without first enquiring into their truth. We must confess to having felt some uneasiness at first sight of the hu?e ironclad, but we have now to congratulate our readers and the country on the deli verance from the threatened danger. We are author ised to state that the sole object of the visit of the Kaskowisld was to inspect the well-known Clothing Establishment of Samuui. Cookies, No. 80, Queen street, the fame of which has reached the Emperor and Ceurt of Russia.— [Advt.]
