was their dae, and not go and seek it as a favor. The railway tariff wanted thorougly reforming, and political rail roads were to be condemned. Govern ment had it in contemplation to make substantial reductions in the railway charges, but they didn’t want a five 5 per cent or a ten per cent reduction, what they wanted was a reduction of thirty per cent or forty per cent and this would benefit the public, and poa sibly thejpublic exchequer too. [Loud ap plause.] The reductions might well apply to both goods and passenger traffic. The New Plymouth harbor works, he charac terised as a fraud on the colony. They would have had more reason in their de mand if they had agitated for harbor Works at the mouth of the Ashburton river. [Applause.] The money spent at New Plymouth was spent wholly unjusti fiably. They would see from what he had said that he was not a thick and thin sup porter of the Hall Ministry, and they could hardly expect he would be. [Ap plause.] He studied the interests of the country, and supported the men who were most likely to 'contribute to its welfare. He thanked them for their kindly recep tion of him, and also for their patient hearing, and could assure them, that if elected, he would do his best for them in the future, as he had always done in the pash Mr Wright sat down amidst very hearty applause. In reply to questions, Mr Wright said that he thought owners of roads should not only dedicate them, but form them before they offered their property for sale in the market. He wonld do his best to push forward the Mount Somers Railway, and he did not care whether the line was Carried up the north bank or the south bank ofjtheriver. The one question to be con sidered was, how could they_ reach the stone and coal most economically? He would pledge himself so far as he was con cerned, that he would not allow any pri vate interests to weigh with him in this matter, and would urge the claims of the town upon the Government. In reply to a question as to whether he favored catting >up the educational district into wards, so that each ward should have a member, Mr Wright certainly thought it desirable that all parts of the district should be fairly represented. He was not altogether in favor of the Law, Practitioners Bill, which hetfaoughthadbeen intended to give free trade in law. [Laughter.] That Bill, had if passed, would have opened the door to the profession of the law to many undesirable persons. He could see no reason why distraint for rent should not be abolished. He would favor direct steam communication with the Old Coun try at the proper time. Not now, but when the existing contract with the San Francisco mail service had expired. He looked upon the present system of land broking as fair, and would not vote for any change in it. The capitation fee to volunteers had been done away with when the Colony was in an extremely distressed condition; but seeing the Government had restored the ten per centage to the civil servants, he thought it was only rea sonable that they‘should restore the capi tation allowance. [Applause.] Mr .St Hill asked if Mr Wright had voted for the Gaming and Lotteries Bill, a measure which prevented a man from enjoying a quiet game of cards in his own house, and that interfered with the liberty of the subject. [Uproar.] Mr Wright said he did not think the Act would inconvenience anyone in that way r The police were certainly em powered by it to enter a house, and it would be quite as well they should have the power of doing so when they thought very high play or gambling was going on. Still it was not intended to be an oppres sive measure.

Someone remarked that the totalisator could turn over LIO,OOO at the Christ church races, but the private individual must not be permitted to speculate his “bob.” [Loud applause.] Mr Wright said the object of the Bill was not to interfere with the spending of money by those who could afiord it, but by those who could not afford it. He was quite in favor of the Sparrow Bill. No doubt it would be amended and would pass next session. He favored a leasehold as well as a residential qualification. Mr Steele proposed and Mr Cates se conded a vote of confidence in Mr Wright, which nas carried as with one voice, and amidst loud and prolonged applause. Mr Wright brieby returned thanks, and moved the usual vote of thanks to the Chairman, which being carried, the meeting dispersed.

CRICKET.

ASHBURTON V. BOROUGH. The above match, which was com menced last Wednesday, was continued yesterday evening, and will be resumed at 6 sharp to-day. The Ashburton team con cluded their first innings last night, not, however, before Curtis had treated the field to some real “ leather hunting,” and had pnt together nearly a score runs for his side. Curtis was eventually bowled by McDonald, and the former’s partner (J. Foots) shortly followed him, being cleverly caught by Johnson at slip. The two last men having been disposed of without much trouble to the bowlers, the Borough Club commenced their second innings to the bowl ing of A. and E. Foots. For the Borough, both Andrewes and Hosking were in good form, and by some free bitting 1 both got into double figures before being caught out by E. Foots. McDonald and --1 -ic, the batting, but the former had to retire without scoring, and after his successor (Purchas) had con tributed a two and a three, the latter was unfortunately run out. When time was called, Johnson and Davis were at the wicket, the former being well set. It is to be hoped the enthusiasm which was manife* J at the commencement of the cricket se? jn will still continue; but we must & /'ess to feeling somewhat sur prised nat out of over 100 members nelor ,ng to the various Clubs in Ash bur ,n, so very few put in an appearance at practice.

VALUABLE DISCOVERY for the HAIR. A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR RE NEWER, now being sold by most Che mists and perfumers througout the coun try, at 3s. 6d. per bottle, is fast super ceding all the old restorers and dyes for the purpose of changing grey or white hair to its natural original color, for it will positively restore the hair in every case of greyness to its original color, with out dyeing it or leaving that offensive smell which moat of the hair preparations of the day do. This preparation has never been known to fail in restoring the hair to its natural color and gloss in from eight to twelve days. It promotes growth and prevents the hair falling out, eradicating dandruff, and leaving the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It imparts peculiar vitality to the roots of the hair, restoring it to its youthful freshness and vigor. Daily applications of this preparation for a week or two will surely restore faded, grey, or white hair to its natural color and richness. It is not a dye, nor does it con tain any coloring matter or offensive substance whatever. Hence it does not soil the hands, the scalp, or even white linen, but produces the color within the substance of the hair. Read the follow ing from Mr. Nathan Berry, Chemist, Walkden : “ One of my customers told me the other day he had had grey hair for thirty-five years, and after using one bottle of the Mexican Hair Renewer 1 sold him, it was restored to and kept its natural color.” It may be had of any respectable Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer in toilet articles in the kingdom, at 3s. 6d, per bottle. —Prepared by HENRY 0.

I cannot resist, sir, the desire of making you acquainted with the ! really marvelous results which I derived from it.
