London, July 2 The grosi profits of the National Bask of New Zealand for the year were L 60,000. A laboring man picked up a bomb > in Dublin and it exploded almost immediately, the unfortunate man being killed. Mr Arnold Foster, in an article in the New Heview, quoting the Mel bourne Age of January, 1893, says the people of England will not be pre pared to learn that the auxiliary squadron i\ not supposed to form part of the real strength of the British Navy, If the glowing accounts of the resources of the colonies put forward in support of loans are true, they ought to bt» able to contribute largely to Imperial defence. Mr Thomas Loader, the Chairman of the Melbourne Board of Directors ©f the City of Melbourne Bank, submits a scheme for the reduction of the rate of interest to the Scotch depositors on Thursday next. The proposal is to con vert half of the deposits into perpetual 4| per cent, debentures, and the remainder into 2£ per cent, inscribed stock. Two-thirds of any profits in excess of the interest is to go in re demption of the inscribed stock, and the remaining one-thiH t.> be used at the discretion of the Directors. ■ , -~&AH-JTBofc3ir!iSCb,' J «]y 3 Ttw ▼ijee-President of the Chamber of Commerce, in addressing a meeting of the members today, expressed his conviction that British capitalists would shortly construct a cable between Auckland and Vancouver.

Imperial Parliament.

London, July 2 The House of Lords has passed the second reading of the Colonial Boun daries Bill, to remove doubts concern ing small annexations by Australia and New Zealand. Sir M. Hicks-Beach, in an election speech, said the Government must j have a big majority to silence the cackling of the Radicals. To come back from the country with a majority of twenty or thirty would be of no service. Mr Chamberlain stated that he • would support the Canadian move ment for freetrade with Great Britain. It is officially announced that Mr Arefas Akers-Douglaa becomes Com missioner of Works and Public Build ing* j and Mr Long President of the Board o! Agriculture, with seats in the Cabinet; Mr Gerald Balfour, Under secretary for Ireland; Duke of Nor folk, Postnmster-General; Sir J". B. Gorst, Vice-President of the Council of Education; Colonel Sir W. H. Wal rond, patronage secretary to the Treasury; Mr William G. Ellison Macartney, Secretary to the Admiralty; Mr Austen Chamberlain, Civil Lord of the Admiralty; Mr Jease Collings, (Jnder-Secretary for the Home Depart ment; Lord Selbourne, Under-Secre tary for the Colonies; Mr T. W. Russell, Parliamentary Secretary to the Local Government Board; Mr Joseph Powell Williams, Financial Secretary to the War Office— • J —-■- j u lyß. Lord Rosebery, speaking at thsl Eighty Club, said he rejoiced that the Liberals had regained freedom. Place without power was purgatory or hell He ridiculed largepolitical programmes, and said it was better to proceed with one thing at a time. To his mind the electors ought to concentrate every effort for the annihilation of the legist lati?e preponderance fn th,e House qf Lords, ■'.•■• ...■'.. i |n the' House qf Oqmmons Mr; Oampbell-Bannerinan admitted that the Adjutant-General repqrted that fcjie supply of atnmunitiqn was sufl^ cient,. though not am.pie.

New South Wales Politics.

Sydney, July 8 In the Assembly the Loan Bill passed. The Council negatived a motion for suspension of the Standing Orders to allow the Loan Bill to pass all its stages at one sitting by 35 to 9, and j threw out the Electoral Bill by 26 to 14. Mr Jacob maclo a bitter attack on QdvetpmAnt, accusing tbfi Premier of fns^ltin'g tfte OoujipiT. Hp cqnside.re4 th.c Lieuten.ant-QoYernor had acted j unwisely in accepting Mr Reid's] advice to dissolve. | The Loan Bill provides for the rais ing of £2,516,000 by the sale of de- j bentures or the issue of stock at a rate not exceeding four per cont, the stock issued in the colony to be redeemable concurrently with that issued in 1892, The Premier says it does not mean that Government necessarily intend to have a fresh issue of funded stock, but they are empowered to do so if thought rejection of the Electoral Bill fay the Council will hasten the dissolu tion, which now will probably not be delayed more than a week. The Cabinet has again considered the question of reform of the Council, and have decided that nothing will be gained at the present stage by bringing | forward a bill, as the time occupied in drafting it will delay the dissolution, The best course will be to introduce the j Government proposals in fhe shape of a |pt of resolutions. "■■"■' A manifesto issued by the Labour party declares the party never consider an elective Upper House as a reform; but in the event of being unable to' securetheCouncil's inimsdiate abolition will support any measure curtailing its powers, and especially taking from it the pbtfeij 1 of veto,.'

In any case it was a trival matter, and Bur nard was not charged with suffering the offensive matter to he there. The Bench said they were satisfied that; the offence was committed. Mr Oufchbertaoncontended they could not convict on the information, and the c»se was adjrmrned The Bum, Case.—Brown v. Jamieaon Tina case was called, when the Bench said it would be adjourned for a week to go before the Mag s'ratea who heard the case.

ROUGH ON THE NEWSPAPERS

SPRINGBURN.

From Onr Own Correspondent j A very enjoyable concert on oehalf of the I Springburn school incidental fund was held in the schoolroom on ifriday evening last, J when, notwithstanding the wet night, there I was a good attendance. Mr James) MoFarlane, Chairman of Committee, pre sided. An excellent p-ogramme was given. During tha evening refreshments were handed round, and after the concert was finished the room was cleared and dancing was indulged in until ths small hours. When the late Railway Commissioners got what is vulgarly known aa the c sack' it was stated that special instruc tions had been given to their successors to give every encouragement to outlying dis tricts to use the railways. From the latest concession published in the Gazette it does not appear that the new manager sees much further ahead than his predecessors. It is : gravely announced that after a certain date the rates for carrying milk for consignment to 'cheese factory' only will be carried at a reduced rate. The rate for 'butter factories to be the same as before.' You would oonfer a favor on your country readers Mr Editor, if you would kindly te 1 us whether there is any difference between milk for making oheese and milk for making batter, if so, what it is t Such concessions as the above only go to prove that the railway authorities are as much at a loss how to encourage traffic as ever they were. If they were really in earnest in their de sire to encourage traffic, on their railways, the best investment they could make, would be to appoint a thoroughly compe tent man to visit all the various districts, make himself thoroughly acquainted with the trade of the various districts, especially those where competition is going on between road and rail, find out the reasons why the road traffic is so heavy and the rail iraflie so light j then report fully to the general manager, with a recommendation as to what concessions to make, so as to not only secure the whole of the ttaffic, but also to give every encouragement to induce more population in country districts! Until some alteration is made, population in country diesricta will not increase, and the rate payers will continue to utter strong language for having to pay double rates in increaaed rend rates and the deficit in railway revenue will continue. As one who takes a little interest in the dairy industry, I may be permitted ta con gratulate the Government on their new venture in opening the Government Dairy School at Edendale, which, judging from the reports now published, giveß every promise of being very successful. I would suggest that the students admitted during next session should be not only assi fonts at dairy factories, etc., but that farmers' sons and daughters should have the right to enter as well. There are many large dairy farmers who would be glad to avail them selves of the practical knowledge of Mr McEwan, and there are many small farmers who are struggling along with the hope of doing better some day, and to these the advantages of one of their children obtaining scientific education at the Government; dairy school; and a practical education at home, cannot be overestimated. Your correspondent is sanguine enough to believe that some day we shall follow the j Victorian example, viz —have travelling j dairy schools. • I I am glad to be able to state that the ! timber trade is busy again, and I trust that Meeera Sharplin and Co. will be fortunate enough to obtain a good share of the Government order for sleepers, tenders for which I understand are to be invited.
