Moss; as Secretary for the Greymouth Ooal-mining Company, proceeded yesterday by the steamer Rangiooto to Nelson, Wellington, Canterbury,' and Otago, with the view of promoting, in the capitals of these Provinces, the objects of the Com pany, and of securing shareholders in. its promising investment. 'Nearly half the capital (4000 shares) has been applied for, principally by residents of this district, and the Directors believe that, with a little exer tion, the whole of the shares could be locally distributed) but in the interests of the company they desire to enlist the sup port of the various large commercial centres of New Zealand, and Mr Moss's acquaintance with the excellent prospects of the company, and with the business men of the principal cities of the Colony, will, no doubt, enable him to peocure the , rest of the necessary capital. The Directors, we may repeat, have successfully negotiated a lease with the General Government, the conditions of which are most favorable, and are as follows : — 1. The company has the privilege of selecting 1000 acres out of the Coal Reserve, and is allowed twelve months to make the selection ; 2. Terms of lease 21 years, at a rent of L2O per annum, renewable for a like term. The railway formation is now in actual progress, and will, without much doubt, be in full * working order in fifteen nionths' time. The Government has|conceded the royalty on all coal conveyed by rail — a , very important concession. Within the last five years of terms of lease, the company has the right of purchasing from 20 to 150 acres: of the present reserve at the price of L 5 per. acre. The conditions as to, raising coal, working the mine,. &c, are altogether most favorable to the company. Copies of the ; prospectus of the company have been issued throughout the Colony, the Bank, of Mew" Sorith Wales distributing them through their' 'various bankers, where they can be obtained on application. .,. ; /  Dr Carr has ao* been fortunate iv the selection of occasions for his Sunday evening discourses in aid of the funds of the Hospital. The first evening on which he lectured was a most inclemant one, arid so was that of Sunday last.
