Wellington, April 22,
Advices from the Agent-General state that he called for tenders for a ship to convoy 1,200 tons of railway material from Hartlepool or Sunderland to Lyttelton, and there were only two tenders received, one at 70s, the other 67s Gd per ton. Neither turned out to be bona Jhle, and the Agent-General has since arranged with Messrs Shaw, Saville, and Co. for a first-class ship to sail on the 31st March, the freight being 55s per ton. Tenders have been accepted for additional roll-ing-stock, which will be ready for shipment in June. Further machinery for repairing shops has been shipped on board the Parsee and Woodlark for Auckland, and the Michael Angelo for Dunedin. More cylinders for the Waitaki Bridge have also been shipped in the last-mentioned vessel, and 350 tons of rails for the Dunedin and Olutha railway put on board the Michael Angelo and Glenaray (or Port Chalmers.
Messrs W, Hepburn, James Smith, and T. S. Graham are the Dunedin gentlemen who have taken up the thirty-one remaining sections of the reclaimed land.
