THE RETIREMENT OF MR GLADSTONE.

Was it in simple official compliment, or with a deeper feeling, that the Prime Minister at Leeds made so marked an allusion to the time when he must lay aside the burden of State ? These are the words used by the right honorable gentleman —It is for me a great satis faction to think, especially at ray time of life, that you do not depend upon my life, or upon the life of any other man, buV particularly not upon mine ; and l wish now to repeat, in this hall, one thing only of what I said, or en deavored to say, in a speech of yester day, that when the time comes, and comd it must very soon, when I cease to bfe able to carry on the duties with whidv 1 am now entrusted, there are two men possessed already of your con fidence, already enshrined in your af fections, already tested by long experi ence, to whom I well know that with safety and with advantage these duties may'pass over—and these two men, with other and fresher years in various degrees of the future before them, will serve you, not, perhaps, with greater sincerity”—cries of “No,” and cheers —“ but in such a manner as I know will secure your confidence and attach ment These two men, I need not say, are Lord Qranville in the one House of Parliament and Lord Harrington in the othen” If we were to decide either by the proofs of exhaustless energy which the’ Premier affords, or by the wish which all his countrymen must feel that he may long enjoy and exer cise such,magnificent gifts, mental and physical, the inclination everywhere would be to regard this language merely as conveying a tribute of honor and gratitude to political associates. That conclusion would be strengthened by the recollection that Mr Gladstone has already “decorated” with Parlia mentary praise. his Irish Chief Secre tary, and found an occasion during the Leeds pilgrimage, to eulogise Mr Bright It is significant, however, that twice in the course of his Yorkshire orations he has specially mentioned Lord Granville and Lord Harrington in connection with the days which must come and the duties which must descend.

Holloway’s Ointment and Pills.— Outward Infirmities.—Before the discovery of these remedies many case of sores, ulcers, &c., were pronounced to be hopelessly incurable, because the treatment pursued tended to de stroy the strength it was incompetent to preserve, and to exasperate the symptoms it was inadequate t® remove. Holloway’s Pills exert the most wholesome powers over the un healthy flesh or skin, without debarring the patient from fresh air and exercise, and thus the constitutional vigor is husbanded while the most malignant ulcers, abscesses, and skin diseases are in process of cure. Both Oint ment and Pills make the blood richer and purer, instead of permitting it to fall into that poor and watery stale so fatal to many aboring under chronic ulcerations.—[Advt.]

fJIHE PUBLIC TRUST OFFICE. GUARANTEED BY THE STATE. Although this office has been in exis tence for a period of more than seven years, it is believed that the objects for which it was established are not sufficiently understood. It is desired to set forth in a concise form information respecting the business which this office undertakes : 1. The charge of all kinds of money trusts, such as Marriage Settlements, moneys to be invested for the benefit of Minors, moneys bequeathed for charitable objects, moneys the title to which is in dispute, or whose legal owner is unknown or cannot be found, &c., &c. 2. The administration of the wills o persons who by appointing the Public Trustee as their executor secure the guarantee of the State for the due fulfil ment of their wishes, and to avoid the risk consequent on the appointment f private persons as executors, who not un frequently, though earnestly desirous of acting for the benefit of parties interested, fail to carry out legally the objects for which they were appointed, and conse quently involve themselves and those whose interests they are striving to pro tect in costly and harassing litigation. 3. The administration of all estates of which no disposition has been made by will, whenever relatives do not wish to in cur the responsibility of administration, or cannot from any cause obtain the neces sary powers to act. In such cases it is the duty of the Public Trustee to discharge all legal debts so far as the assets extend, and divide the residue amongst the next of kin. 4. The administration of the estates of lunatics, lunatic patients, and convicts. 5. The charge of all lands lying waste and unoccupied of which the owner is un known, or who has been absent from the colony for ten years, having left nc known agent. The post of administering estates is very I small. Information may be obtained from I r fcdl agents. ! 8 B. 0. HAMBRTON, i 29a Public 1 Tnurtee 1
