PROPOSED NEW COASTAL SERVICE.
Wellington, May 1.
A syndicate is in course of formation to place two steamers, of about 1000 tons each, on the coastal trade of the colony, and an offer from Australia of two vessels has been made to the leading spirits in the venture, and a representative has left for Melbourne to endeavour to arrange terms. Should the venture proceed satisfactorily it is intended to add to the number of steamers. The present proposal is to run one steamer between Danedin, Lyttelton, and Wellington, while the other would be employed in the Wellington, Napier, and Auckland trade.
A cash offer of £12,000 m»de for the Empire Hotel property (Christchurch) was declined by Mr J. CarL
