There is in addition a Sh-ire Register and Adver tisers' Gazette, the latter being a new addition this month, and one which will no doubt be taken advantage of by adver tisers in all parts of the Colony, as the Guide has a large colonial circulation, and is forwarded free each month to any one on forwarding their name and address to the publishers. Messrs T. Ktfritwdy. Mac donald and Co., Panama F street/ Wel lington. At. a large meeting heldtot Ashburton on Tuesday last, it was ri*olved that in the event of the North RfiHwHiiembers uniting in blocking the. Government pro posals re tlie East and West Coast Rail way that the Canterbury members be urged to g<> in for financial separation. The Canterbury people am deeply in sensed at the tone of the Wellington Press towards the railway, and it is not unlikely that a movement will be set on foot again for the removal of the seat of Govern ment to Christchnrch. If the Canterbury and other Sout'i Island members would only consent to the removal of the seat of Government toDunedin, the thing could undoubtedly be accomplished, as the South Island possesses a. majority <>f 18 in the Lower House, and 4 in the Upper Chamber, a majority of the Cabinet, being also South Islanders. Should the Govern ment be able to carry the appointment of the Committee, which we are rather inclined to doubt, the railway will h« in safe hands, five of the Committee being among its staunchest advocates. We published as an t,xtm yesterday ; morning the names of the Select Com mittee of the House to which the Govern ment purpose referring the question of the East and West Coast railway. The Committee consists of ten members, four from the North and six from the South Island. The latter are Sir J Yogel, (Christen urch) ; Mr Macandrew. (Otago) ; Mr Menf eith, (Inangahua) ; Mr Steward (Waimate, Canterbury) ; Mr Huisthouse, (Nelson) ; and Garrick (Canterbury). The remaining four members - Messrs Atkin son, Fraser, Mitchelson, and Cowan, hail from the North Island, and are strong opponents. Nancarrow and Co., will sell by public auction, at their auction rooms, Grey inoutb, on Saturday (to-morrow) the Brunner Brick and Timber Company's entire plant, comprising San-mill and Brickyard, together with all the requisite machinery.
