Mr. Morton Jones, who has been en* gaged for two or three weeks past on behalf of the Pnblio Trust Office in valuing the West Coaßt reserves preparatory to the iseue of new leases, is making very good progress, but as he has to value the whole of the lands along tbe coast he has rather a long job before him. The wool exported from Auckland this •eason is estimated at from 2500 to 3000 bales more than last season.

The Canterbury Board of Education has resolvpd, That in the opinion of the board it is desirable that the amount voted by Parliament for tbe erection and maintenance of school bnildingß be distributed to ■ the several, Boards of Education through* out the Colony, upon the basis of population or of number of children on the school rolls in each district. There is a great want of consideration for newly settled districts in this resolution. The Hon. Mr. Seddon (the Wellington Post relates), has gained kudos in Marlborough by stooping from his Ministerial dignity to lend a band in extinguishing a fire wbiob was burning at Renwicktown, as he drove through the district. The Ministerial conveyance had just been stuck in the flooded Wairau river, and the fire served to dry things. The house burned was a fine one, and the Hon. Diok, as usual, took command and 11 bossed " the workers, who were beard asking among themselves who tbe MajorGeneral was who had come out of the river to them. They obeyed nevertheless, and worked well under the stranger's direction, discovering his identity later. Stock sales on Monday— Nolan, Tonks & Co.. Eltham; F. R. Jackson & Co., Waverley.
