The othora were unhurt, Ciald Dt«c»verT Kumara, January 30. At a meeting of the Deep Lead Pros- Secting Association, the manager reported aving obtained fifteen grains of light gold from a shaft which had bottomed on the reef. Considerable importance at taches to the discovery, as it establishes the fact of the existence of gold below the false bottom. Land Settlement There has been a great impetus in land settlement during the last fortnight in this district. Seventy-one miners of Dillmanstown, w»'th growing families, have formed a Special Settlement Asso ciation to procure land in Taranaki. In Kumara even more activity has been shown. An Association was formed at an enthusiastic ftieeting, and Mr W. H. Burger despatched this morning to Wel lington to make final arrangements and inspect the land. The meeting com plained of the lack of information sup plied by the Department in connection with land settlement, and it was sug gested that in every pose office placards be posted supplying full particulars.

RUSSIA AND GERMANY.

St. Petersburg, January 29. The Russians are delighted at the reception given by the German Em peror to the Czarowitch, who has now returned.

ROMAN BANK FRAUDS.

Rome, January 29. Signor Monqueillia, .Director of the Department of Commerce and Industry of Rome, has been arrested on a chajge of corruption in connection with the Bank scandals. There is a growing excitement over the disclosures, fo mented by the refusal of the Govern ment to grant an enquiry.

FROZEN MEAT.

London, January 29. Captain Rice, speaking at the Queens land Meat Company's banquet, said State depots would certainly increase the defensive resources of a garrison. Sir R. Herbert feared compulsory labelling would be found impossible. He advised the company to open numerous stores for the exclusive sale of colonial meat. It was necessary, too, to instruct the public as to the best methods of thaw ing. He pointed out that even the meat served at the banquet might have been better treated. The retirement of Sir Samuel Griffiths from politics would be a very great loss to Australia and to the cause of federation, and it would be easier to obtain judges than states men of the calibre of Griffiths.

QUEENSLAND LOAN TACTICS.

The "Statist" referring to the under writing of the Queensland loan, says it Jg not in accordance with the dignity and interest of the Bank of England to launch an underwritten loan on the public, su-rti a step being a kind of imposition on the market and unfair to investors.

LABOR MATTERS.

The cotton operatives who are out on strike refused to allow Mr Mundella, President of the Board of Trade, to arbitrate in the dispute with the em ployers.

SUSPENSION OF THE FEDERAL BANK OF AUSTRALASIA.

Melbourne, January 30. The Federal Bank of Australasia has suspended payment, pending con sultation with the shareholders. Owing to the non-payment of a dividend last October sonfidence in the institution seems to have been withdrawn, and the present action is due to the persistent withdrawal of deposits in England and the colonies, and the inability to make arrangements with the associated banks. Liabilities amount to about two million, of which half is due to British depositors. It is stated the assets are sufficient to cover all liabilities. The capital of the bank is two millions, £800,000 being subscribed and £400,000 paid up. In regard to the Sydney branch, deposits have been withdrawn to such an extent lately that it is unlikely they will n«?w amount to more than £10,000, while th£ note issue amounts to only £4000 Tn«? bank's suspension will have considerably less signiHcance in Sydney than the* of the New Oriental Bauk.

I BEG to announce to my Customer and Friends, I have commenced Business of FILTEK-MAKING IN WILLIAM AND TANCRED STREETS. Now the hot weather is set in no one should be without a Filter, as the most eminent authorities on sanitary matters in Europe, America, and Australia have long since decided that death in its most appalling forms lurks in impure water or beverages made from or cooked in it. THE ACME FILTER supplies the long wanted Filter for the Plains water races and tank water. It can be new supplied, charged with Charcoal, etc., or the Limestone Block. The latter ia used all through Australia in Hospitals, Asylums, Schools, Hotels, and Railway Stations, etc. It is easily cleaned and imparts to the water lime that is required for the body. Every medical man advises the use of filtered water, and apart from the sanitary point of view, the luxury of clean, pure water is recognised by all. PATENTEE & MANUFACTURER, W.
