Evidence given before Lord Onslow's Committee favoured marking frozen meat by means of electricity, though witnesses were unable to guarantee that it would not dis figure the meat. The draft report of the Panama Canal Committee of Enquiry declares that the list of bribed members of the Cham>er of Deputies is mythical, and was invented to shield the Directors of the Company. The report acquit* MM. Floquet, Freycinet, and Rouvier. Mr 8. Buxton, Under Secretary for the Colonies, replying to a question in the House of Commons with regard to the taxing of the Wellington-Manawatu Railway Company's debentures, said he was informed that the New Zealand Government were considering the propriety of amending the law on the point, owing to the objeotion which had been raised by the holders of debentures in Great Britain. The members of a rough .*• push" of larrikins who have terrorised: the vicinity of Miller's Point, Sydney, committed a brutal murder at ten o'clock on Sunday morning. A young sailor named Pert, who some time back was instrumental in getting two of the '• push " airested, has been a marked man, and on several occasions his life was attempted. A number of the gang watched him leave his home, set upon, and literally kicked him to death. Eight of the assailants/ whose names are Macguire, Doohan, Thomas Howell, David Howell, Pearson, Vankampan, Ritch, and Dodd, have been arrested. Several, if not all, of those arrested are believed to have been concerned in the outrage. M. Millevoye read in the Fiench Chamber of Deputies, amid great uproar and a shout of derision, the documents said to have been stolen from the Marquis of Dufferin by a subordinate, including the list of bribes paid to the members of the Chamber of Deputies. The names include Clemenceau. (who was accused of receiving £20,000), Rochefort, Bardeaux, and Maret. The letters plainly indicated that a haax had been perpetrated or that they we c forgeries. The Govern ment declined to recognise the stolen docu ments, and referred them to the Judiciary Chamber. The Chamber, however, insisted that they should be read through, th ugh the vote of 389 to 4 showed that the attempt to crush M. Clemenceau had ended in a com plete fiasco. During the reading of the documents Bardeaux maintained an inces sant cry of " Liar," Deroulede was unable to hear the ridicule heaped upon him, and rushed from the Chamber shouting "I re sign." The editor of •« La Cocarde," M. Millevoye, and Deroulede, are likely to be prosecuted in connection with the forged papers. Norton, who is suspected of forging the documents in the possession of M. Mille voye, alleged to have been stolen from the British Embassy, and M. Ducret, one of the Directors of " La Cocarde," who purchased them for 10,000 francs, have been arrested. The Boulangists denounce M. Millevoye for his attacks on M. Clemenceau. The Paris correspondent of the '• Times," commenting in the Millevoye incident, says fc^at th* Boulangists have proved themselves credu lous dupes. Lord Rosebery, Foreign Secre sary, declares the documents are gross and palpable forgeries.

Mr Justin McCarthy has accepted Mr Gladstone's new financial proposals with re gard to Home Rule. Mr Redmond is op posed to them and says the alteration in the Bill is humiliating and unjust. The Govern ment will possibly propose that the Irish Government collect taxes as agents of the Imperial Government. The Unionists be lieve the Ministry is riding ior a fall. The ■cbeme is thought to indicate the retention of the full number of Irish members at Westminster. An amendment intended as a protest against legislation incited by priests was rejected by 34, after the closure was applied. Dr Gaven Brown Clark, M.P. for Caithness, tabled a motion affirming the desirability of Home Rule being extended to Scotland. Sir George O. Trevelyan, Secre tary for Scotland, declared the Government regarded autonomy for Scotland as an open question, but were quite willing to appoint a grand committee of Scottish members to deal with the nation's affairs. He argued that it was notorious that the House of Commons had failed to legislate on matters affecting Scotland. The motion wa» rejected by 168 to 150. Clause 4of the Home Rule Bill passed. The Redmonds intend to pro pose that the collection of Customs and Excise duties shall be transferred to the Irish Parliament at the end of six years, and that meanwhile the Irish should contribute to the Imperial Exchequer one-fourth of her ascertained revenue until a Royal Commis sion reported on the financial relations of the two countries. Mr Gladstone admitted that the Irish Legislature ought to control prim ary education, with power to found, at the public expense, a purely Roman Catholic University. 2he leaders of the Unionist party threaten to move a vote of censure on the Government if the closure is insisted upon with regard to the Home Rule Bill,

LOSS OF H.M.S. VICTORIA.

The Queen has expressed profound grief at the catastrophe. Mr Clement R. Markham is aboard the The Victoria lurched whan struck, trembled for a time, then sank bow first. The accident took place in broad daylight, and there was no time to close the watertight bulkheads. No body was hurt on the Camp^rdown. Thirty-eight officers of the Victoiia were drowned, and eighteen saved. All the engine-room staff perished; only the men on deck were saved. June 24. Intense public grief is expressed at the loss of the Victoria. Lady Tryon held a reception on Thursday night. The Prince of Wales, the Duke of York, and th© Duke of Edinburgh, called and condoled with her. Lord Osrrington convoyed the Queen's deep regret. The collision occurred at 5 o'clock on Thursday afternoon, seven miles off Tripoli. It is stated that the Victoria's steering gear was weak. Experts be lieve that the Camperdown ripped the whole starboard side out of the Victoria, and thus prevented the clos ing of the bulkheads, causing her to capsize. Lieutenant H. L. Health and Lord Gillford were among those saved. The few bodies recovered have been buried with impressive honors in Tripoli. The Earl of Dudley has en dowed a hospital bed with £1000 in gratitude for his brother's escape. The Queen in her letter states that her heart bleeds for the many homes plunged into mourning by the deep affliction and dreadful catastrophe. The Emperor of Germany wired that words could not express his grief at the loss of so noble an admiral and so fine % ship. He had ordered all German warships to fly the British and German flags at half-mast. The Italian Government wired sym pathy with Great Britain. The disaster created immense sen sation in America, and the Union Jack was lowered half-mast at Chicago Ex hibition. At the request of the Duke of Cam bridge, the Lord Mayor has opened a relief fund. Lord Brassey condemns the extreme dimensions of battle ships. Mr 0. R. Markham reports that 262 men and 34 officers have been saved, and 422 drowned. The precise origin of the disaster is unknown. The Admiralty officers believe that the fleet while manoeuvring was divided into two columns, the Admiral and Vice-Admiral leading on their respec-" tive vessels, and further that during a change of position the steering gear of one of the ships failed, and led to the collision. Another theory is that the accident was due to the proximity of the vessels in pursuance of Admiral Iryon's system of signalling. The Queen has sent a letter of con dolence to the familiesof those drowned. The Victoria was virtually cut in two, aft of the barbette, and most of the crew were sucked down. (Received June 26, 11 a.m.) London, June 25. The injuries received by the Cam perdown are less than was expected, though of a serious nature. She will probably be docked at Malta for a few days.

AUSTRILIANS V. ALL ENGLAND.

I The betting on the All England Eleven v Australia is 2 to 1, and it is believed that the former will win easily. The best batsmen this season are Grace, Stod dart, W. W. Read, and L. Palairet. The colonials, however, are sanguine that they will make a good fight. Giffen and Lyons are htill under the doctors' hands, and Turner U weak from influenza- What the Australians fear most is the effect of Lockwood's bowling, should the wicket be wet. The "Pall Mall Gazette " thinks that the people in the colonies are not quite satisfied that the team are doing their biSit, but that they have been thinking too much of their own pleasure and sacii ficing the interests of the game.

SANDER AND SONS' EUCALYPTI EXTRACT There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market now, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oik may not be taken Our Pure "Volatile Euca lypti Earrraot, whioh is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, m per information forwarded to us through th« Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 18 State:- It is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Gieifswald, Prussia, and reported by D.r 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 Prs Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc,, pf 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 classes among the turpentimes, which have, when used as madioine, no therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament. There so called Eucalypti Extracts, which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles and are used for mechanical purposes only are discernible: , 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 3. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tannate*. If these crude oils, or §9 P§lH eucalypti extracts are applied by mistake in cases t^f croup, bronchitis, diptheria, internal in flammations, dysentery, wotfndg, etc,, the consequences are most appalling.

-.•Crossbred Wheats. :- MESSRS JAMES CARTER & CO, °* London, in 1882 commenced a course of experiments in the cross-fei Hliza tion of WHEATS of various kinds. It is well known that almost any variation of qualify, ch-sracrer, form and colour, can be developed in Flowers and Vegetables by cross breeding, and fixed permanently by selection. Also in ths shape of Turnips and Carrots and other roots, including in the case of Wheat, square or pointed ears, large or small grain, long or short straw, or almost any special quality that may be desired. With well selected parents cross-breeding imparts increased yjgor in plants as well as in animals and Wheat, being a self-fertilizing plant which is bred in-and-m year 'after year for generations, as is the case v,ith most of our Wheats. Crossing shou'd h;ive the effect of producing more vigorous and produciv« varieties. This seems to have been confirmed by Messrs Carter's experiments, who, after several ytars careful selections of the strains produced by crossing were successful in fixing the characteristics of not less than 11 varieties of new Wheats, which they distributed in 1889 at necessarily fancy prices. The Farmers of this district may be congratulated on the fact that they can now obtain some of the best of these varieties from the undersigned. A full selection of the eleven sorts were obtained in 1890 by them and given to MR T. SEALY, of Riverbank, to experiment with. The following year another district was chosen, and after very careful observation, discarded six out of the eleven as unprofitable. They then last year distributed the remaining five selections among farmers in different parts of this County, and were rewarded by vxcellent yields, this in the face of the very trying season they had to contend with. As may be supposed, the varieties differ greatly in length and colour ot straw, shape of ears, colour and size of grain, period of ripening, etc. For instance : Selection F is the earliest ripening Wheat in cultivation, and should prove a great acquisition in the district towards the Hills, and in the South, where an early wheat ia indispensable. Another variety, Selection G, produces straw of a short, stout description, which cannot be laid by rain or wind. This should be invaluable for sowing on moist land, which ia the ordinary varieties of Wheat produces long straw, likel> to be damaged by wiiid and rain. Other sorts, as Selection I, is praetioally unassailable by Birds, bo that should these aorta come largely into cultivation our feathered tribes will not be able to levy their usual toll on the farmers' crops. Some writer haa said there can be no best Wheat for all district*, but only for particular situations, soils, and climates, which the various sorts of Wheat are naturally adapted to. .Ye would recommend our friends to obtain a sufficient quantity of need of these Hybrid Wheats, and test the capabilities of them on their own land. Thia would undoubtedly lead to far-reaching results by bringing into general cultivation varietiea of Wheat suited to the various soila of the district, of high quality, hardy, and robust in constitution, and a prolific character. The following will describe the five varieties we have to offer :— SELECTION I-— A bearded wheat, prolific. It seems of the variety to sow late and harvest early* Straw, medium length, well —■""—-~—~— h ea d e d. Valuable for late Spring sowing. SELECTION Fr~-An early ripeui-g Wheat, even when sown late.

Should prove ~—"~"~-""~""-~~~~" invaluable on lands which produce in the ordinary sorts straw so long as to be damaged by bad weather. This is the " Tom Thumb " of the wheat family. SELECTION D'-^Straw, medium length, strong, half-drooping habit; very well headed; very productive, and likely to prove a . valuable Wheat for general purposes.
