IMPERIAL POLITICS.

PER PBESS ASSOCIATION.

London, 4.pril 22. In the House of Commons the second reading of the Home Rule Bill was carried by 347 to 304. The House was crammed on the occasion, and the greatest excitement prevailed. The majority was precisely the same as on the motion in the Irish Parlia ment in 1800, in favor of the legisla tive union of Great Britain and Ire land. Sir Henry James, in a brilliant speech, declared that civil war would rest with the Government, Mr Balfour declared the Bill to be a concession to agitation and crime, and said that a million and a half of Pro testants in Ireland were prepared to forcibly resist it. He reiterated that if the measure passed, all hope of main taining peace in Ireland would vanish, Mr Gladstone made a vigorous reply, denouncing the Opposition for exaggerating baseless prophecies. On Mr Gladstone returning to the Chamber after the division, the Nation alists jumped on to the seats, cheering and waving their hats. The Ministeri alists, and those on the Treasury benches, followed their example. Mr Gladstone repeatedly bowed his ac knowledgments. During the unusual scene Mr William Redmond excitedly exclaimed "Parnell shall not be forgotten to night. Three cheers for Parnell." There was much ironical laughter from the members of the Opposition. Every member of the House either voted or paired. Sir E. Watkin, the member for Hythe, voted against the Bill, but Mr "William Saunders, the member for Walworth, who had also declared his intention of opposing it, was at the last moment re-converted by Mr Burns. The Ulster delegates, who were in the lobbies, cheered the Queen and sang the National Anthem. Eventu ally the police cleared the lobbies. Many amendments, to be moved* in Committee on the Home Rule Bill, have been tabled. The Ulster members declare that they will move no amendment in Com mittee. Several leading members of the Opposition approve the proposal, but the majority of the party prefer to contest the Bill line by line. Immediately the result of the divi sion was announced bonfires were lighted in the Nationalists' quarters in Belfast. The populace were greatly excited, but the police prevented any collision between the two factions. The result was received in Dublin with wild enthusiasm. The Ulster men groaned and hooted Mr Gladstone on his arrival in the House of Commons to-day, and cried out "Traitor." Mr Gladstone was visibly annoyed. (Keoeived April 23, 11.50 <x.m.) London, April 23. The attendance at the Albert Hall meeting numbered eleven thousand, including 2000 from Ulster. Immense enthusiasm was shown by the audi ence, who cheered the Union Jack, sang patriotic songs, groaned at the mention of Gladstone's name, and cheered Balfour. The Bishop of Derry moved—"That the establishment of a separate Parliament and executive for Ireland would destroy civil and religi ous liberty, unsettle commerce, disturb industries and weaken British influence throughout the world." The resolution was carried amidst a scene of great en thusiasm. The meeting repeated the following words after Lord Abeccorn— " We will never have Home Rule.'*

The Papanul Sensation. Christchukch, April 24. At the Police Court this moraine John Wild was charged with having on March 6 attempted to murder Martha Mc- Conchie, his married daughter, by shoot ing her with a gun.' The particulars given in evidence are much the same as those telegraphed when the ocaurrence took place—Wild on returning from town had some words with his wife about a new drees, and then left the house, imme diately returning with a gun which he fired twice at Mrs McOonohie, one shot taking effect under her arm. Wild then aeized a knife, and lying down on the ■of a cut hia own throat. Mrs McConchie had since seen him in the hospital, and he had asked her forgiveness and said he remembered nothing about the affair. When accused arrived home he was more than half drunk.

There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market now, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken Our Pure Volatile Euca lypti Extriict, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state:— »,., It is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifawald, Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant. Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Extract, according to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc., of America, is the only extract corresponding to scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. All other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentimes, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament. These so called Eucalypti Extracts, which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles and are used for mechanical purposes only are discernible: 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour (which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract, develops most freely through its surplus of oxygen). 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance, being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids. .  3. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tannwte?. . If these crude oils, cr so called eucalypti extracts are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diptheria, internal in flammations, dysentery, wounds, etc., the consequences are most appalling. For safety sake ask always for Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Ex tract and get the old, well-tested and eliable preparation—Sandhurst, Victoria, and Son*
