London, May 4. Judicial proceedings in... Dublin during the last fortnight have done much to un ravel the remaining mysteries of murder plots and organisation of the various Fenian and other secret societies. The informer, Devine, has made an extra ordinary revelation concerning Fenian crimes, and great sensation has been caused by Delaney who, in pleading guilty, declared that the evidence of Carey and Eavanagh jn every parti onlar.

Facta lately brought under the knowledge of the Government, show that great impetus was given to Fenianism by the Land League. It is catenated at present that 150,000 men*%ew ehrolted 4s Pbnians in the United Kingdom. Eatl Granville, on the 26th ult., re ceived an. influential deputation represent ing the shipping and commercial interests who are advocating the constructipn toLtf second Suez canal. The existing (janal is feund inadequate for the immensely in creasing traffic. Moreover, transit dues are regarded as excessive, the regulations arbitrary and vexatious. The deputation demanded that J;he Government should arrange to secure for"' Britfeh shipping greater facilities by the present canal, and place a larger share of management in British hands, or assist the construc tion of an alternative canal. In reply Earl Granville, encouraging though re served, asked the promoters to And the capital to mature a scheme, and then come to him.' The Times strongly favors the projbot, which-caused great excitement in France. De Lesseps has already made a strong protest, and claims the exclusive right to the isthmus. The House of Commons voted 228 against 141 for the motion of Sir Wilfrid Lawson declaring the necessity for legis lation# to giye effeqt to the local option resolutions already voted by the House. The Government have fully accepted the principle of Sir Wilfrid Lawson’s motion, and have regarded local optiqq as an essential part of their Iffcal-government scheme.

After five nights’ debate the House of Commons this morning finally, rejected the second reading of the Bill by a majority of three against the Government. The result was unexpected, as most \feUeyad .that: the Bill would pass, but only by a small majority, say from 10 to 17 votes. The rejection is therefore a general surprise. 'lnisura-i ming up the debate Sir Stafford Northcote repudiated the imputations cast upon the Opposition of having treated thd Question In a party spirit. He said the Bill would effect a divorce between religion and politics, and was therefore repugnant the feeling of the country, irrespective of the aversion felt towards Mr Bradlaugh personally. This was shown by the irnmnnuA number of petitions against the Bill and 'the small number sup porting it. The Marquis of Hartington replied, denying that the measure was Intended for Bradlaugh’s relief. The question at issup was the great cause of civil and'roHgious-liberty, and the “Go vernment, jn supporting the Bill, believed they were upholding those* principles, preserving the sacred word from the risk of profanation, and protecting religion from the degrading contact of party poli tics. It is not supposedibat the £rov,ern: ment iii consequence of the defeat, or that they .will venture to appeal to the country on each a question. It is eAffttoied* 1 thetdfofei that - !

Provisional Directors : Joseph Ivess, Esq., M. H.R. H. T. Winter, Esq , J. P. Lonald Wiliarason, Esq., Mayor of Ashburton. Hugo Friedlander, Esq. (Messrs. Fried la' der Bros.) David Thomas, Esq. .'(Messrs. Matson, Cox and Co.) John Carter, Esq. (Messrs. Wilkin and Carter). William Horne, Esq. (N.Z. Grain Agency Co.) Dr. W. G. Ross. Joseph.Olark, Esq. ; Octai£iuß\Pigby, Esq. Bankers —Bank of New Zealand. Solicitor— C. W. Purnell, Esq. Secretary, pro tem—W. H. Gundry. The Company is proposed to be formed for the purpose of purchasing the pro perty and business of the Lion Brewery Company in Ashburton. " The very extensive agricultural district, in thfe centre of which the town of 1 Ash burton is situated, is one in which a very large private as well as hotel trade is carried on, and the facilities for brewing alljhat could be wished, and the water of better quality for the, purpose than can be found Elsewhere in the Province of Canterbury. The Lion Brewery is situated on T.S. 366 and 367, at the corner of Dobson and Cass streets} - Th® building'is -of brick, with a concrete cellar, which can be extended underground at a very small cost, ifgd,; )s i. quite .new, having been erected about twelve months.



The Building and Plant is all of first class quality, veil arranged and very con>- £lete, and With ‘the connection already established it is anticipated that there will be no difficulty in extending the business, with the' influence of the Company and capital, throughout Canterbury, but particularly throughout . the Ashburton County. ‘



The success which has attended the Brewery Companies in every part of the world , oilers a great inducement to capitalists and investors to take up shares in' Companies of this description, and the promoters have the' greatest confidence in the success of the proposed Company, and have agreed to take One Thousand Pounds’ worth of fully paid up shares should the Company desire them to do so. It is further proposed to obtain the ser vices of a first-class brewer, to ensures large and profitable trade being done. Although the nominal capital of the Company is. £20,000, a comparatively smalt sum is required to purchase the pre sent premises and plant of the Lion Brewery, viz., £3,000, the stock being taken at a valuation. The increased capital is required to ex tend the,present premises and business, and also to erect a malthouse. It is be lieved that malting will be a very. . profit able branch of the Company’s business, owing tp ,the quantity of barley grown in the immediate district. It is proposed to issue 2,000 shares only at present, but it will be left to the dis cretion of the Provisional Directors to issue as many shares as they think desir able. It proposed to call up £2 per share, as required, in calls of not more than 10s per share, ,and at intervals, after the allot ment, of not less than three.months. The remaining shares will be issued to the public, (preference being given to existing shareholders) as, the requirements of the Company deveiope, and it is confi dently be'ieved that a substantial premium will be obtained on them, as in the case of. other Brewery Companies, such premiums *o be placed to a reserve fund, and there by strengthen the position of the Com pany. “ " If the Company is not floated, the de posits will be returned in full to the appli cants. , , The Share Li-.t will be closed on Mon day, the 18th June. 1172 Boarding Houses, &c.

u ,YL ■==7p»prEP¥ , if > jf*. the Editor, —It is ahealthy sign of* he times wfcen our local papers are beginning io deal in|a fearless manner with bankrupts and the bankruptcy laws. The time has come when something must be done either by the legisla ture or by business then themselves to put an end to a state' 'of affairs which is a disgrace to our boasted civilisation. We (the under signed) have been doing business in Ashbur toh about years, and ; s the money we have lost during that period 'by bankrupts, levan teis, and blacklegs generally amounts to a great deal more .(than the* margin usually allowed for bad debts. If the law cannot pro tect us then we must protect ourselves, and there is only one way to do so, viz., to abolish the credit system altogether. This system has been the curse of other countries besides, New Zealand, and past experience has proved’ it to be rotten to the core. Owing to recent heavy losses we have resolved to se(l fpr calk only in future. The honestr. man who iswilling to pay ■ his 20s in the £, and pay as he goes, will find this no disadvant age but a great gain, as he will be able to obtain a first-class article much cheaper than he would under the, old system. We shall exert our selves to the utmost as heretofore to give cur customers full satisfaction, and every order will be .executed in our usual first-class style—-but we shall no longer run any unnecessary risk.

Rangiora, July 7, 1881. Sir, —Having carefully examined the N.Z. Herbal Extract, I find it to be skilful!/ prepared vegetable preparation, possessing the properties of the plants from which it is derived in a highly con centrated state, a fact which I have veri fied by evaporating a fluid drachm placed in a watch glass over a spirit lamp. ,0° weighing the result, a dark green extract, I found the weight to be 14£ grains. On further submi ting the extract to analysis I found it to be rich in tannin. In a large number of cases of ordinary diarrhoea, as well as in many chronic cases and in dysentery, Ihave proved it to possess great specific control, added to the unusual feature in a majority of diarrhoea medi cines, that it does not subsequently con stipate the bowels. I feel satisfied that from the number of trials 1 have been enabled to make of it in a somewhat ex tensive practice, it is a most valuable addition to modem therapeutics. The following cases are taken at ran dom from my note book : Case No. I—Mrs M- > West Eyre ton, suffering for two years'from chronic dysentery, which had reduced her almost to a skeleton. After a fortnight’s trial not only had the diarrhoea stopped, but she commenced eating meat without pain, and the usual concomitant vomiting. In two months she had gained 181bs weight. Case No. 2—A G.,child, aged five years. Fortnight diarrhoea. Was effectually cured on third day. Case No. 3—A soldier who had con tracted'dysentery in India got a small two ounce phial, and was well before he had finished half of it. (Signed) Charles DeLacy McCarthy, M.

They have a ■ wonderful, effect : in curing; children, cnsi well as . grown persons, by removing the worms. They have been with grea. sue- ’ cess intfoduey into the principal,families, in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. They are guaranteed to do away, in a yeiqr short time, with many senous complaints ;, like Bronchitis, Pika, Ulcers, Ulcerated Throats, etc., if taken in time,'as these sicknesses are often caused by worms of all kinds, especiolly by the Tape Worm, and by the most dangerous Thread Worm, •which, if not destroyed in time, will soon create the nardly-curab'e Worm Fever. The smallest, the Thread Worm, will more than any other worm penetrate through all the crevices of the body up to the brain. An example was recently wit- ’ nessed, where a child falling continually * : into fits (the parents not knowing the cause) at last died with the brain affected by the too fatal Thread Worm. Still more - recently there was a case, a grown man whose seat wai affected by the Thread *■ Worm, and who, after trying many sorts of remedies, without effect was directly ! * relieved by a dose of DR HEILBRON’S Worm Cakes. There are cases where the worms come away that they almost can be counted ; then often they come away in whole clots, and sometimes in a thick and slimy stuff, and although not so perceptible, still they are caused to leave by Dr, Heilbron’s ’ Worm Cakes. And there have been other' cases where children affected with Worms, when coughing or sneezing, do discharge them through the mouth and noSe. • The symptoms of Worms iare generally as follows . —Lassitude, Giddiness, De pression of Spirits, Impaired Appetite (which if not acted against, will engender diseases of the bile), Disorder of the Stomach and Digestive Organs, Sick Headaches, Vomiting, Disturbed Sleep, . and many more serious complaints, in cluding Fits, of which last many persons have been cured by these Worm Cakes. " No time should be lost in removing these Worms, else the consequence will be!‘seri ous, as they will increase! in size and quantity, and' ultimately spread through out the intestines. If Worms are ne glected for a time they will do so much damage as to make-it beyond human skill to restore and reorganise the ayatefn of digestive organs. DIRECTIONS FOR USB. The quantity,©! these Worm Cakes to be taken at a dose depends luostly on the . age and constitution of the patient. In " most cases a couple of doses will drive the ' worms away for many years, if not en tirely. As a standard : A dose Tor a child up to 2 years will be half a Cake ; from 2 to 4 years old, one whole Cake; from 4 to 8 years, one Cake and a half; from Bto 14, two Cakes; and so to increase with the age, but nevermore than four Oakes, at one dose. Grown females may gene rally take three Cakes at a dose, and ’ grottn men lour Cakes, according to con stitution. The most effective way of using these Worm Oakes is by taking the dose before going to bed, and on the following morning to take a cup of hot tea before breakfast. ja&*As I am not certain how long 1 may stay in this town, and as these Worm Cakes can be obtained at a very small ex pense families will do w.-ll to have always a small supply of them at their houses.
