7 Not Satisfied. Sydney, Yesterday, v The proprietors of the Herald con siders that the liberty of the Press is involved by the adverse decision in tht . recent libel action, and have therefore • decided to institute further proceedings at law. The Queensland Parliament. Brisbane, Yesterday. The Queenland Parliament was opened to-day by the Acting-Governor. In his speech on the occasion his Ex cellency stated that the agreement , . which had been provisionally made by a syndicate for the construction of the Transcontinental Railway, would be submitted for their approval and ratification. The action which had been taken by the Government regard ing the annexation of New Guinea was under consideration by the Imperial Government,' but had not yet been sanctioned. The regulations for pro moting and controlling the importation of Indian Coolies would be submitted for approval, and if adopted would pro vide a satisfactory solution for the em ■ harassing question with regard to the present pbsition ot the supply of labor. The demand for land had been well maintained during the past year, and continued without abatement. Ne gotiations for accelerating the Postal Service between Europe and the colony had been brought to a satisfactory ter mination, and arrangements had been , made with the British India Steam Navigation Company for expediting the transit of mails, and the establishment of a fortnightly service from the end of ; the current year also had been decided upon. The question of immigration ■ had been considered, and measures were being adopted to promote the in • troduction of a suitable class of immi ’ grants. In conclusion his Excellency offered his congratulations upon the rapid progress of the colony, and its sound financial condition. [Received June 27, 1.20 p.m.] The Colonial Exhibition.

TJAS for SALE HARROWS HAXTON & BEATTIE, Patentees and Sole Makers of the Celebrated SPRING TOOTH FLEXIBLE HARROWS. They combine Lightness of Draught, Practicability, and Cheapness, and meet the approval of all who have examined them. Over 500 at work in New Zealand since 1880. This Patent Harrow has been awarded First Prize at the recent Exhibition held in Christchurch New Zealand, May, 1882, and the following prizes were also gained after competitions, trials, and testings:— Ist Prize Medal at Taieri Agricultural Show, 1880 Ist Prize at the Mataura Show, Gore, 1880 Ist Prize at the Invercargill Show, 1880 Ist Awari of Merit, Ashburton Exhibi tion, March, 1881 Ist Prize Medal, Napier Show, 1881 Ist Prize Medal, Invercargill Exhibition, November, 1881 Ist Prize, Launceston, Tasmania, 1882 Ist Prize for Light and Heavy, Dunedin, 1872 Ist Prize, Gore, 1882 Ist Prize Medal, Taieri Show, November, 1881 Irt Prize, Patea Show, December, 1881 Ist Pr'ze, Riverton Show, December, 1881 Ist Prize, Oamaru Show, December, 1881 Ist Award of Merit, Dunedin Exhibition, 1881 Ist Prize, Dunedin Show, December, 1881 Ist Prize, Christchurch Exhibition, May, 1882 Ist Prize, Invercargill, December, 1882 Ist Prize Southbridge, 1882 FIRST PRIZE, ASHBORTON, 1882. The Principal Advantages of this Harrow are as Follows: — It is 25 per cent. Cheaper than any other. Because of its simplicity, it is more durable. The flexible and spring-tooth working of the Harrows produce a steady strain, which prevents horses from having sore shoulders. A twelve-foot Harrow can be taken to pieces and put together again by any boy in five minutes’ time. Every tooth being a component part of the Harrow, the extra labor and expense of tools, bolts, nuts, threads, shoulder pieces, framework, etc., is entirely done away with. Each tooth acts independently of the others, and will do its work thoroughly over level, rough, knolly, or unevenly ploughed ground. It is the only Harrow in the world that can be taken to pieces in ten minutes, and securely packed in a bag ready for ship ment, or that can be taken to a black smith’s and sharpened, at half the cost of any other. It is the only Harrow in the world that will do its work thorough and well in harrowing crosswise over new ploughed ground, with mt tn nine; over the turf. Because of the flexible and spring tooth movement of the Harrow it is im possible for any of iis teeth catching against roots or rocks, thereby making it much easier for the team that is drawing it. It is a perfect Chain or Seed Harrow, when turned on its back, acttog an inch or inch and a-half in the soil, leaving a smooth surface. 1132
