CHRISTCHURCH.
Monday,
John Jobson, M.P.C., one of the candidates for Coleridge district, addressed the electors at Selwyn: He advocated local government in the form of a board of works, with large borrowing powers, and to have control of all railways, police, hospitals, gaols, charitable institutions, and roads, bridges, &c.; a Federal Government for the whole colony to deal with purely national matters.
A terrific south-west gale of wind and rain prevailed from Friday night until noon yesterday. The low*lying districts, were flooded, and the rivers were very high.
