(from our own correspondent) WELLINGTON. Saturday. The report of the Public Works Commissioners was sent in to-day. The report has not yet been published, but it is stated t hat, though regretting the expensive line over the Rimutaka, that line should be made the main trunk line, and constructed to Woodville and Bunnythorpe, leaving the West Coast line to be constructed when the finances are better. The Wairarapa line is further commended as likely to open up a larger area of Crown Lands for settlement. The Post is indignant.' The football matoh between the Wellington and Athletic Clubs to-day was won by the latter, Greytown telegraphed challenging the winner for next Saturday. A matoh will, most likely, be arranged. James Fawnes, of Carterton, charged with forging the name of James Brown, was discharged, on Brown stating that he gave verbal authority. Nicholson was committed for trial for burglary. The newly discovered goldfields on the West Coast are showing up, and there is a probability of a great rush setting in, m the returns are very heavy and the ground extensive. Twenty-five more men have been engaged for the Carlyle railway works. There was a large number of applicants for engagement.
