CLUTHA RIVER BOARD.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—lieplying to tin' secoud epistle of " Ip-lliver Settler 1 ' (in a remit issue of the Olutlia Leader), who appears to have made certain discoveries, ami incidentally shot his liolt, I am unable to fay precisely what the position is now, but the shipping between Ilanrlmrg and Hongkong, ami between Constantinople and Singapore, used to be regarded as. the cheapest in the world, and I believe troni Vladivostock trans-Mediterranean it can still be'had at a reasonable rate for certain classes rif freight. Rut if "Hp-Hiver Settler" can point to any other place in the world where freight is carried on flat bottoms, and not on the deep sea, cheaper than it is here I will take off my hat to him.—l am, etc., PUNT.
