THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.

Wellington. Jaly 1

Mr Blair, Assistant Bngineer-m duel, has sent In a voluminous report on the Midland Railway, dated April 7di, in which ha forms a more favorable opm-.m of the feasibility » nd prospects of the work than his former report on the same snbiect He stales that he devoted seven weeks to the work, and has seen every part of the island htely to col tribute directly or indirectly to the support of the l ! ne. He estimates the length from the east to Brunner ton at 95 miie.i, and the cost £1,505,000 ; and the Nelson eection, 154 miles, and the coast £1,330,000. A minute description of tho character and re sources of the country through which the line passes isgiven, and Mr Biair estimates that 10,550 square miles will be served by the new line In this, howeve-, he includes thebranch Torbouao to Blenheim, 67 m les, at a cost of i‘375.000, which he «»ys n easy of construction, The latest surveys have shown that a grade of one in 50 can be sustained without the necessity of snob heavy inclines as it was at first supposed would be necesaaiy at Arthur’s Pass. The curves have been gr ally modified. Tvlr B'.air now boos reaton to alter his first opinion mat the railway would barely pay working expenses He thinks it will yield £12.1,000 a year, but he omnot say how much will b e profit, as it Is difficult to calculate work ing expenses. Doder ordinary circum* tanoea this would give about 2| per cent oB the cost of the line. He h also altered his opinion as to the effect of tho development or the har ors of |t ie West Coast on the railway, and urges that the more ihe harbours are developed the mote trade and population will flow In to produce paying traffic for the rail ways. He c noludes a report of twenty six pages as follows : lahall now briefly summarise the princif A conclusions prrlved at(1) the route t lopted for the East and West Ooa t and Nelson P il way is tho best available, and it fits in with the future railway system of the colony ; (2) the a’lgnmont and levels of the railway are equal to those on the Middle Island Main Line. The engineer Ing difficulties rre confined to the Dressing of the main iange and the tUrges of the iWdmakarirl and Buller ; (3) after being elmost stationary for a long time, the population of the West Coast baa begun to increase through the development of the co*l industries ; (4) there is a con siderable extent of arable land on the West Const, but the principal resources of tho country are timber and minerals. Most of the good land is covered with dense forest, so it cannot be settled rapidly ; (5) the forests are of great extent and value, and well situated as re gards a market for the timber ; (6) the West Coast contains a great variety of minerals, but gold and coal are the only ones PS yet found in any quantity and worked; (7) alluvial gold diggings will last for many years, but there is no prospect of a new field; qntu+z mining *■> a permanent industry, capable of con siderable extension ; (8) the c al fields on the West Const ate of ve.y great extent and yield first class coal, end the coal mining industry is capable of enormous expansion. The East and lAesfc Corit Bailway will probably yield a revenue of £120,C00, but the nett, return cannot be estimated.

THE WRECK OF THE LYTTELTON.

Judgment of the Com fc.

Timartj, July 2. The judgment of the Court of Enqui j Into the wr< ck of the ship Lyttelton w ■ delivered this morning. It attributed tie accident mainly to the want of skill Shown by the mnter of the Graf* n, who never got {proper control over the vessel f' om the time she left her mooring to the time she dropped anchor. The pilot was guilty of a grave e.jor of judg ment in not having the starboard anchor rhackled on to cable before lifting port anchor and proreedirg to sea, and also for not aoertainirg with some degree of certain y whether fhe Lyttelton was forging ahead at the time she iet her anchor go. The Court expre*'od an opinion that the harbor authorities should net have allowed the tug and harbor master to be absent when a vessel like the Lyttelton was ready for sea. There was no evidenc to show whether the Lyttelton struck on her own anchor ft on some unknown substance ruler Abe water. Considering the Joss cf the Lyttelton mainly due to the want of skirl -on the part of the master of the Grafton, ,the Court adjudged he should pay costs of enquiry, but did not deal with his certificate there w i no evidence to show inefficiency in ordinary nyvigation, bnt only when acting cs tugmas er. The Court expreaeed an opinion that all mriters of steamers should make themselves acquainted with the depth of water and set t f tides of harbor s they enter. Captain Bill having admitted he had not this know ledge with respect to Tlmaru. The cap tain and officers of the Lyttelton were entirely exonerated from blame, and their certificates were returned.

SKILFUL SURGICAL OPERATION THE American Ambassador at Vienna. Mr Kasson, has lately forwarded to his Government an interesting account of a remarkable surgical operation lately per formed by Professor Billroth, of Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, consisted in the removal of a portion of the human stomach involving nearly one-third of the organ—and strange to say, the patient recovered—th only successful operation of the kind eve performed. The disease for which thi operation was performed was cancer of thr stomach, attended with the following symptoms The appetite is quite poed There is a peculiar indescribable distress y the stomach, a feeling that has been descnbi as a faint “ all gone ” sensation ; a stick slime collects about the teeth, especially the morning, accompanied by an nnpleasan taste. Food fails to satisfy this peculiar faint sensation; but, on the contrary it appears to aggravate the feeling. The e yes re sunken, tinged with yellow ; the hands and feet become cold and st eky—a old perspiration. The sufferer feels tired all th time, and sleep does not seem to give res After a time the patient becomes nervous an irritable, gloomy, his mind filled with cv forebodings. When rising suddenly from recumbent position there is a dizziness, whirling sensation, and he is obliged to grasp something firm to keep from falling. The bowels costive, the skin dry and hot at times ; the blood becoming thick and stagnant, and does not circulate properly. After atime the patient spits up food soon after eating, some times in a sour and fermented condition, sometimes sweetish to the taste. Oftentimes there is a palpitation of the heart, and the patient fears he may have heart disease. Towards the last the patient is unable to retain any food whatever, as the opening m the intestines becomes close, or nearly so. Although this disease is indeed alarming, sufferers with the above-named symptoms should not feel nervous, for nine hundred and ninety-nine cares out of a thousand have no cancer, but simply dyspepsia, a disease easily removed if treated in a proper manner, the safest and best remedy for the disease is Seigel’s Curative Syrup, a vegetable prepara iton sold by all chemists and medicine vendors throughout the world, anil by the proprietors, A. J. White (Limited), 17, Farringdon-road, London. E.C. This Syrup strikes at the very foundation of the disease, and drives it, root and branch, out of the system.

giv Jt <nvcs me great pleasure to inform you of the benefit I have received from Seigel’s Syrup.

Dear Sir, —I write to inform you that I have derived great benefit from “ Seigcl Syrup.” For some years I have suffered from liver complaint, with its many and varied concomitant evils, so that my life was a perpetual misery. Twelve months ago I was induced to try Seigel’s Syrup, and although rather sceptical, having tried so # many reputed infallible remedies, I determined to give it at least a fair tiial. In two or three days I felt considerably better, and now at the end of twelve months (having continued taking it) X am glad to say that I am a different being altogether. It is said of certain pens that they “ come as a boon and 1 blessing to men ” and 1 have no reason to doubt the truthfulness of the statement, a can truly say, however, that Seigel s Byrup has come as a “ boon and blessing to me. 1 have recommended it to several fellow sufierers from this distressing complaint, and their testimony is quite in accordance with my own. • Gratitude for the benefit I have 7 derived from this excellent preparation, s prompts me to famish you with this un a solicited testimonial.
