LIBEL BILL. ■ "The Hon. Mr Dick resumed the debate on the second reading of the Libel Bill. No. 8, clause 7, was out of place, and ought not to be in the Bill. Referring to clause 4, he said it appeared to omit printers, and he saw no reason why they Should n'-'t have the protection provided for the others. The motion for the second reading was carried. TARANAKI IRON SAND. Mr Fish moved the second reading of the Taranaki Iron Smelting Work Land Act, 1874, Amendment Bill. Carried. IN COMMITTEE. The Employment of Female Act Amendment Bill, School Committee Elec tion Bill, and Small Birds Nuisance Bill were committed.

,Thb City op Perth. —The ship City of Perth has been sold privately for L 6,000 to Mr John Mill, of Port Chalmers. This is not so bad, considering that the vessel was sold as she lay on the Timaru beach (cargo of wheat included) for LBOO, and tl?at the wheat subsequently realised L6OO to the lucky purchasers of the Wreck. ‘ Holloway s Ointment and Pills.— Diseases of the Bowels.—A remedy, which has been tested and proved in a thousand dif ferent ways, capable of eradicting poisonous taints from ulcers and healing them up, merits a trial of its capacity for extracting the internal corruptions from the bowels. On rubbing Holloway’s Ointment repeatedly on the abdo men a rash appears, and as it thickens the alvine irritability subsides. Acting as a deri vative, this unguent draws to the surface, re leases the tender intestines from all acrid mat ters, and prevents inflammation, dysentery, and piles, for which blistering was the old fashioned, though successful treatment, now from its painfnlness fallen into disuse, the dis covery of this Ointment having proclaimed a remedy possessing equally d::ivative, yet. oer fectly painless powers.—[Advt.]
