DUNEDIN. (From a Correspondent.) {MORE RAILWAY MISMANAGEMENT.) Friday evening.

1 understand that some time ago Mr. Murray, M. H. E., communicated with the General Government on the subject of opening- about 40 miles of Clutha railway line to public traffic. The £!hain Hill Tunnel is through at the "head, and will probably be ready as soon as the bridge, Messrs. Brog<den and Sons having pushed on the work in a Ijjiiorouglily energetic manner. They offered to place the rolling stock on the line free of cost, and to forego their claim to £$Q per week for o©mpleition under contract time (amounting to about .£500) if the government would allow them to open the Hine on the Ist September in thorough working .order. Mr. Murray, M. IFF. IL, communicated this *offer to the Minister of Works, and pointed out its advantages, but for some unfathomable reason, the offer was put aside, Mr Richardson pretending to ,suisconstrtie it, and eooamunieating with the ProNfcineial Government of Otago, as to whether they would bear the cost of placing the rolling-stock on the inc. a thing which., as Mr. Murray informed the Minister,, Messrs. Brogden had already offered to «3o free of cost. Mr. Murray in a second telegram ' set the Minister right, but the latter has since replied that- as Mr. Murray will arrive in Wellington at the opening af Parliament, he will see %im *!ihen. This delay is regarded as intentional and is sascribed to hostility to Messrs. Brogden.
