DRINK IN NEW SOUTH WALES.

The Sydney correspondent cf the Mel bourne " Argus" writes : —

The report of the Drink Commission has at length made ita appearance. This Commission was originally appointed by Sir John Robertson, and there was a good deal of quarrelling at first as to the respec tive representation on it of the publican and the abolitionist, aud what with resignations and now appointments, the teetotallers ultimately got lha beet of it. The Government ha? several timsß been preßeed to force the production of the report, because till it appeard, legislation waa m abeyancfi, but Mr Alexander Oliver, the Chairman, has managed to vet the time he wanted, and baa produced a very valuable report, basked by a body of evidence. >he inquiry has been limited to the metropolitan district, and assuming tha'. the evidence has been fairly tested and checked, the information brought oat is valuable as well a? interest' ing. It appears tha* iv New South Wales we drink more rp rits than you do m Victoria, bat has «-er and leßa wine We also drink more spirits than the people m the United Kingdon?, but v.ry much less beer and a little more nine. At the same tlme,the Commission are of opinion that the statistics clearly prove that our drinking dees not keep pace with the in crease of popalaikn, except as respects j imported tparkling wine, bottled beer, ' and colonial bear. Daring the past five years our greater temperance may have been due to our greater poverty, beoauße the way m which bad times tell on the consumption of l'quor has always been well marked . The drink bill of the color y for last year Is estimated at £4,634,000. or £4 143 6|i per head of the popula tion. Of the total value about £2,000 000 ■ U represented by spirits, £1 500,000 by colonlsl beer, and nearly £600,000 by Imported bottled beer. The value of the colonial wine consumed exceeds £250,000 A» to the quality of our driuks, the com mission Is not very comforting. It is true that the analysts can discover no deleterious foreign ingredienti, but the base of most of the public-house grog is silent spirit, flavoured with imitation brandy, whisky or gin, according to the taste of the drinker The colonial beer as well as the spirits also indicates the presence of fusel oil, and this is attributed to the warm temperature at which colonial beer is brewed. The quantity m beer is only a fifth or sixth of that m the ordln aiy spirit, yet, as a man who drinks beer takes five or six limea as muoh as a man who drinks spirits, he imb.bes as moch fusel oil m the one way as be would the other. The Commission, however, ate of opinion that the brewers might im-

prove their process and make beer at auocesa fully as is done m other countries. A further redaction m the number of public-houses is recommended, one liquor licence to eveiy eighty electors being considered sufficient, and that would bring down our present number of licensed houses from 500 to 400. For the country one house for every ICO eleotors is considered soffiient, and the question of compensation, it Is thought, ! would be sufficiently met by allowing Tested interests to lie fcr five years. The Oommiwion supports the Sanday prohi bition, and also the early dosing with some slight relaxation In favor cf matket gardeners aud others, whose business brings them into Sydney at an early hour m the morning. Private bars are con demned, except m special cases, and there has been % good deal of evidence tendered of late to chow that a great rnaoy of theie bars, which have been sublet to

women at four tinea the rental which a legitimate trade would bear, are nothing bitter than brothels m disguise.

A DISCOVERY.

A sensational report has reached Bruthen, Viotoria, of the discovery of a mountain of gold-bearing quartz. It has been visited by Mr Neik Jorgeneen, one of the oldeßt prospectors m the diatriot, who reports the find as something wonder f al. The lode haß been measured over 60ft m width, very hard and solid, and carrying mineral and gold the whole width. 7t has been traced over two miles on the surface, exposing mineral and gold the whole distance. There are thousands of tons of Btone broken down ready for crushing. The lode is intersected by a deep creek, the bed of which is a mass of gold-bearing quartz boulden?, many of them 100 tons m weight, and immediately above on the north side is a maßß of solid quartz overhanging folly 70ft m width. Maoy claims Are being marked out, and the want of a mining registrar is severely felt. The discoverer is Mr Ate •• ard, of NowaNowa. The r-fficfal news, while pointing to an important discovery, is less pronounced m character. Mr H. Crofton Stavely, warden, telegraphed from Buchan to the Mines department as follows .— " A reef 26ft thick, traced for 200 yds, has been discovered by Abraham William Ward on Boggy Creek, about one mile above its passage into the Nowa- Nowa arm of Lake Tyers. There nave been several trials of email quantities of stone. Fine gold seen m all, much mixed I with iron pyrites. Gold eeen also on the surface on each side of ;the reef."

We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have m the long course of this time manufactured oertain Medicines that being based on solontliio formula and absolnte oare and precision In manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far m advance of any other Pharmaceuti- cal Preparations of the day. How sue- censful we have been In this, Is only to note the extraordinary amount of the tales of our Haydook s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydook'a New Liver Pills. The reason of this de- mand 1b because we find In Haydook' New Liver Pllln a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medlolne. The Viotorles of Soienoe— Electric Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — -revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet- ter. So, although there are oountleaa Pills used for diseases and olalming muoh as to their merit, the remarkable dla- oovery of Dr Haydook has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical ' Sys- tem. TheDootori, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyie the bowels, most give way to the man who restores health and appetite with or«d or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay- dook's New Liver Pills suffices to plaoe the stomach In pesfeot order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver la afleoted its fnno- tlona are restored, and If the Nervous System is enfeebled, It Is Invigorated and sustained. < TRANSLATION. Aykab, Provi* cc of Bnrmah, 8.1.
