We have to call attention to Mr Todd'-j Cattle Sale at Wallacetown to-morrow. In addition to milch and store stock, a sma 1 ! mob of prime fat bullocks are to be offered. The "Southern Cross," in its Summary for Europe, on the 11th inst., says, "Sir George Grey proposes to reside permanently at the Kawau, where preparations are being made to receive his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh." A meeting of the members and subscribers to the Southland Agricultural and Pastoral Associaj tion was held in the Priuce of Wales Hotel on Saturday afternoon, for the purpose of making arrangements relative to the forthcoming Grand Show. The meeting was largely attended, and business gone into with much spirit, but owing to the late hour to which it was protracted, we are anable to give particulars in this issue. We (" Grey Eiver Argus," Sept. 12,) are glad to find that the Annexation Committee are pursuing their work with vigor. A sub-committee yesterday made a partial canvass of the Government township for subscriptions to defray the necessary expense of carrying out the objects of the movement, and in a short time received the amount of £45. This ia a very gratifying result, and shows the Committee that the inhabitants of Ghreyniouth are thoroughly in earnest in their desire for Annexntion to the Nelson Province. The sum mentioned by no means represents the amount which is expected to be raised in the Government township, while the Maori township has not yet been asked to subscribe. This wiU probably be done to-day or to-morrow, and we anticipate that a sum equal to defray all the expenses of the movement will be subscribed without the slightest difficulty.
