? The New Pass to the Wkst Coast. —The same paper says: —The general impression at Hokitika was that the pass discovered by Mr. Browing muse be the "one by which the best road for sheep and cattle to come into the district from the Eastern plains will be found. As the residents on the West s Coast have the best knowledge of their side, which is the difficult one, the opinion just recorded is an important one. The increasing value of the field, and the southern and inland tendency of the new discoveries, ore all in favour of the Rakaia route. We trust the Secretary of Public Works is disposed to estimate so central a route at its full value, and to leave no stone unturned for the establishment of the best possible communication between coast and coast. There is bo interest in Canterbury that is not affected by this question ; and judging by the accounts from the West Coast of the losses by shipwreck, our interest in the question is fully shared by the residents there.
