Messrs.. Eaines and Stanbrook, our Uew auctioneers, appraisers, and general eotninission agents,, will be. able to dis--•pose of the few shares that are left in Mr. Vi]Jaiue*B sub-tnarine boat for dredging the Biver Molyneux. Councillor Auckland's new invention for macadamizing the main, street with gravel, is giving general satisfaction. It cost somewhere about £40 to put it down, and it must' be taken away again. However, that will cost nothing; for between the scavengers rake constantly at " work endeavouring to keep it down, and the strong winds playing about it, it is galloping past the Beudigo IJotel at the rate of 3f tons per week. Clyde is improving wonderfully. Mr. B. Naylor, general storekeeper, intends shortly to add two stores more j to his present large warehouse. His own masons have been at \york all' winter, building large and commodious store rooms at the back, for bis colonial produce, coach.and waggon houses.
