New South Wales Politics.

Sydney, June 25 In the Assembly to-day the Premier made a statement of the intentions of the Government. He said the Council had destroyed the Government scheme of financial reform. According to the constitution of the Council it ap parently had a right to amend financial Bills, but a decision of the Privy Oonncil, in connection with New Zealand and Queensland, showed that this right was non-existent and the Assembly would never allow an in fringement of its powers. The present action of the Council was not an isolated case. It had rejected Land and Income Tax Bills before. Other Governments had allowed their taxa tion policy to be defeated by a chamber fil)ed with Crown nominees, btit this . Government would hot stand such a gross outrage. The representative of th* Government in the Oonncil had advised him that there was no prospect of compromising tbe difficulty, and therefore, instead of engaging in a barren conflict they intended to bring the matter to a conclusion, This morning he had asked the Acting* Governor to grant a dissolution as «oon as supply and loan and necessary works Bills were passed. The Govern ment policy would remain untouched till after the appeal to the people. In order to prevent a repetition of a dismal farce the Government intend to lay the axe to the root of the tree. Before dissolving a Bill would be in troduced to amend the constitution of the Upper House. The Bill would go before the people, so that there could be no mistake about the issue in ques tion. Sir George Dibbs said he had in tended to give notice of a motion asking for an immediate dissolution, but the Premier had forestalled him. The Opposition were prepared lo grant three months' supply without debate, to enable the Government to go to the country immediately. In the Assembly the Premier said the Acting-Governor had uncondition ally accepted his advice to dissolve Parliament. The Government had decided to put an end to the uncer tainty in connectiou with the Coal Mines Bill, caused by the Council's amendment, by. appointing a Boyal Commission to enquire into the whole matter.

Sir G. B. Dibbs said the Opposition would not assist to pass the loan esti mates, as that meant a bribe to the I electors. Mr Copeland moved the adjourn ment to discuss the Ministerial state ment. Sydney, Jane 26 The debate on the Premier's motion was aimless Sir George Dibbs said that while assisting Government to pass the Supply Bills he would strenu ously oppose the loan Bill involving a million of money. Sir Henry Parkes denounced what he termed the penal dissolution. This month's sup ply was granted, and the House ad joujned.

He was ailing for some days, hia coat got very dry, the skin tight, a running at the noße and a very bad cough ; and woe scarcely able to walk about; we quite expected he would die.

Sir,—l am clad to bear testi. mony to the wonderful effects of your Bot Fly-fly Remedies; One of my beet horses be came very bad; the ekin tight, the eye life less and a bad color, and got low in condition Anxious to finish ploughing a paddock I did not want to lay him up until be became un able to lift his feet or do any more. We had to help him into a stable I gave him your Remedies, acd ton treatment you pre scribed, and in a few days he was quite better, and new at bis work, hearty and well I quite believe, had I not given him your Bemedies, he would have died. You can use thiß as you please. Robert Thompson Seaside Farm, ' Wakanui, April 14, 1894 Mr Walker. Dear Sir,—l have great pleasure in informing you that the bot-fly mixture I got from Mr Hetjeltine, your egent, was a wonderful success. I had four horses seriously ill on December last. After using all the remedies I could think of I was induced to try your mixture. The result was mar vellous, I strictly followed the direotioDS given and in a week the horses were out of danger and recovering rapidly I drenched two more in February with the same result They all put on fleßh rapidly, and are now in prime order
