In connection with the Bank Notes Bill, which comes on in the Legisla; tive Assembly for the second reading to-morrow, the Premier has had a re turn prepared which shows that the trade of the colony does not absorb at any one time more than two million pounds worth of bank notes. Accord ing to latest returns the banks hold specie of the value of £5,697,000, and other assets of the valueof £44,656,000, with which to secure two million of notes. None of this security under the new Bill will be destroyed until the bank notes are redeemed, as the notes will be a first charge. At pre sent 2,520,000 sovereigns are being moved about f com branch to branch at great cost to meet the liabilities which may accrue' Making notes a legal tender in the country will avoid this.

OBITUARY.

* : It is with great regret we have to chronicle the loss of another old colonist, Mr Anthony Thompson of Springfield, near Methven, who died at ten minutes past twelve this morning (midnight) from injuries received in being thrown from his trap last Saturday. Mr Thompson landed in Canterbury on August' 6, 1860. He worked for a time at his calling as a blacksmith in Christchurch and at Mount. Somer3. In 1862 he erected the first building in Ashburton (after Turton's old accomodation house) on tha site of Mr John Welsh's house near the Canterbury Mills, this was in 1862, and he followed his trade there until October 1864, when he sold his premises to Mr Welsh and removed to some land near Methven where he resided up to tne time of his death. At this place he erected an ac commodation house and smithy, which he carried on till the railways diverted the traffic, when he devoted his attention en tirely to farming. Mr Thompson was well known and respected as a genial and free handed host, a flr t class tradesman, and considered by many good judges the best horse shoer in Canterbury, having brought a repu ation with him from Ireland where he had been in the employ of the Marquis of Waterford, and was himself a good judge of all kinds of horses. He was a man of great strength and stature and up to the time cf the unfortunate accident was a hale and hearty m*n, walking as erecfc as a guardsman. The deceased gentleman was 75 years of age and leaves hosts of friends in the province who will deeply regret his loss under such painful circumstances. The funeral takes place at 3 p,m. to-morrow from Ut Tweed's Hospital where Mr Thomp son died.

Passes for the Ashburton Trotting Club's meeting will be issued at the Central Hotel this evening between e:ght and nine o'clock and to-morrow morning between ten and eleven. The principal polling booths for Ashburton will be at the Courthouse and at the Public Library, those with names commencing with A down to M voting at the Courthouse, and N to Z at the Public Library. We regret to have to state that Mr Anthony Thompson, who received serious injuries by an accident on Saturday after noon—nob Sunday as misprinted in last night's issue —died this morning from these injuries. An inquest was held this morn* ing at half-past ten, a summary of which is given elsewhere. Mr E. G. Wright has been addressing the electors of Rangitata, and has been well received at each centre. He addressed ft well attended meeting of electors at the Rangitata Station school on Friday evening, Mr B. N. Hawkes in the chair. A vote of thanks and confidence was proposed by Mr ISrodie and seqoxided by ifr Edgar, and carried.
