THE RAILWAY.
The following letter has been received to-day by his Honor the Superintendent from the Colonial Secretary : — Wellington, 26th October, 1869. Sir — The Government have observed with regret a statement in the Nelson newspapers to the effect, that the negociations for tb.B construction ot the Nelson and West Coast Railway, authorised by the Provincial Government of Nelson, to be entered upon in England, have not been successful. It has occurred to the Colonial Government that the Commissioners who are about to be sent to England on behalf of the Colony, may be in a position to assist in promoting your railway. Recognising, as the Colonial Government do, its importance, both from a Provincial and also a Colonial point of view, the Government have great pleasure in offering to instruct the Commissioners, should you desire it, to ascertain whether anything could be done in the matter. Should difficulties exist at present, it is probable that the Commissioners may be able to come to some arrangement by which, with the approval and aid of the General Assembly, such difficulties may be overcome. I have, &c, W. GISBORNE.
