AMERICAN FENIANS.

The London correspondent of the ■*~-Argus„ writing on March 30th, says : The 'difficulty which surrolmds any at tempt to check Fenian enterprises directed from the other side of the At lantic would be promptly overcome if the British Government could rely on receiving any help from the Cabinet at Washington. But there is nothing to hope for in this direction, and Mr Sackville West’s appeal for little assis tance has been met by the declaration; that in the present situation of affairs the United States Government are not justified in interfering with “Irish sympathisers ”in New York. It would be interesting to know from the Cabi net cf Washington at what point they would, be prepared to interfere with tti'e murderous crew whose “ sympa thy ” for Ireland is expressed in the; reckless explosion of dynamite, and in suggesting such atrocities as the murder" of Lord F. Cavendish and Mr Burke in Phoenix Park. Only this week we have Mid. 1 another example of th e kind of-' sympathy which these gentry have for Ireland,/p Twelve’.men convicted of rqnspiyacy to murder have been sen tenced at Belfast Assizes to various terms of penal servitude* from xo years) downwards. These persons were all. , ofthehi' members of the Crossmaglen bltShch of the Irish Patriotic Brother- j, ,This, particular branch ; \ya| forihea by . .an . Irish - American named Bum-ra direct agent of Rossa —and its function was murder, the murder of landlords of of anybody who interfered with its hOIy tniSSiOh. By chance —and not by ; racn .marked out for “re-; moval ” escaped thV assassins; Certain bppkS were found by the police which went !to prove that on one occasion at least fL r.equtrit was made from the Land. murder of a certain ioj^^ypiqippse... ; It was further given in evidence that the proclamations of this icoaspiracy made frequent invoca tionof the patriots Parnell;and Dayitt, wßfe%f# r ranfell’s friend Redpath was’ mentjipgfd in league with Bum and Rossa in promoting the ex- Xfyyafln. •qf.-ther Patriotic Brotherhood. TheClnVestigation of this conspiracy has produced a 3 nut for the Washington is no pretence for, say-’ ing tjat.the conspiracy to murder cier tam'obnoxious landlords was a political the-intended ..victims, had no official position and were ful fillidg doofficial duty Rossa and bis asg<seiiti*^ E are consequently guilty of an dffenpe against the common law, Of course bft admitted, and it is npt 9&»' Wlilikeiy. that their extradition wUI be claimed. In the. same way the ' Pameiliteß* ‘refuse to make .any reply to the suggestion of complicity in, the mdrffCr lf- would be monstrously} inctmyebient, apd'it is much' safer to gpot^apt; for public opinion.; By and bye*public opinion may perhaps . rfevenge.itself.. ■ ■"

CAPITAL £20,000 In 4,000 shares of £5 each, Of whichonly 2,000 shares are now offered to the public. : - f / Provisional Directors : Joseph Ivess, Esq., M. H.R. U. T. Winter, Esq , J. P. Donald Williamson, Esq., Mayor- of Ashburton. Hugo Friedlander, Esq. (Messrs. Fried lander 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 Clark, Esq. Octavius Digby, Esq. Bankers —Bank of New Zealand. Solicitor— o. W. Purnell, Esq. Secretary, pro tern—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 the centre of which the'town of Ash burton is situated, is one in which a very large private as well as hotel trade is 1 carried on, and the facili ies for brewing all that could be wished, and the water of better quality for the purpose than can be found elsewhere in the Province of Canterbury. 1 The Lion Brewery is situated on T.S. 366 and 367, at the corner of Dobson and Cass streets. The building is of brick, with a concrete cellar, which can be extended underground at a very small cost, and is quite new, having been erected about twelve months. The Building and Plant is all of first , class quality, well arranged and very com? plete, and with the connection already * established it is anticipated that there will be no difficulty in extending the business, with the influence qf’ the Company and i capital, throughout- Canterbury, but particularly throughout the Ashburton • County!, i The success which has attended the Bpewerp Companies in every part of the world offers 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 theDompapy desire them to do so. ■' It is further proposed to obtain the ser - vices of a first-class brewer, to ensure a large and profitable trade being done. Although the nominal capital of the Company is £20,000, a comparatively , small 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. | t 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 to 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 j 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 develope, and it is confi ■ dently believed that a substantial premium will be obtained on them, as in the case of other Brewery Companies, such premiums to b.e 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 List will be closed bn Mon day, the 18th June. 1172 Hotels' : H B D R T O N HOT E, L.

Business Notices. An eviL : and -Jts remedy.—Tj the Editor, —It is ahealthy sign ofthe times when our local: papers are beginning to 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 men themselves to put art end to a state of affairs which is a disgrace to our boasted civilisation. We (the under signed) have been doing business in Ashbur ton about 3% years, and the money we have lost during that period by bankrupts, levan ters, 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 sell for cash only in future. The honest man who is willing 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 our customers full satisfaction, and every order will be executed in our usual first-class style—but we shall no longer run any unnecessary risk. Under the cash system we are prepared to offer a special line of tweeds at the following unusually low prices ;—Gentleman’s suit made to order, £2 18s 6d; ladies’ tailor made ulster, £2.

On weighing the result, a dark green extract, I found the weight to be 14j girainS./ On further submitting the extract to analysis I found it to be rich in tannin. In a huge number of cases of. ordinary as well as in many chronic caaes .and/ in,- dysentery, Ihave proved it to possess greai specific control, added' to the unusual feature in a majority of diarrhoea modi* cines, that it does hot subsequently con stipate the bowels.
