The Recent Wrongful Arrest. Auckland, September 1. A deputation to-day to the Hon. Thomas Thompson, re wrongful arrest of A. D. MacKay, claimed £7 as a refund of his legal expenses. The Minister expressed re* greb at MoKay's wrongful arrest. The Harbor Boards.

A deputation, from the Harbor Board, protested against the proposed transfer of the management of Harbor Boards to the Colony. Mr Napier said that he objected to the change as the Board could raise money as cheaply as the Government, and was offered it now at four and three and a half per cent, They needed no high Bkilled engineer for the present works, and were opposed to bureauorafcic centralised con trol. Mr Seddon was likely to be approached upon the matter on his return and it was known that he had ideas in the direction of equalising the port chargea of the colony. The Hon T. Ihompson replied that he did not intend to state what he as a member of the Ministry might say if th 3 matter came before the Cabinet. As a member of the Assembly he had always opposed the Hovernrrent takiDg over the control of Harbor Boards.

The Rainfall. Wellington, September 1. The rainfall this month was four inches, | against an average of 5 "5. Alleged Breach of the Factory Act I In the case in which G. L, Cole was I charged with sub-letting work received from j a warehouse, the S M. said that the case j was a very complicated one. Cole had a factory himself, but, as he took work by the j piece from Sargoods he came under clause , 23 of the Act, and must be hold to have ! sub-let, under sectiou 20 oi the Amending I Act. A nominal fice of Is was iuflicted with £2 cobts. Another similar ca«e was ! adjourned till it had been decided whether to appeal or not in Cole's sase. The Colonial Contingents. j Mr Chamberlain has sent a circular dcs- j patch to the Colonial Governors congratulat- j ing them on the character and behavior of | the continents who visiied England for the j Diamond Jubilee. Freight on Dairy Produce. The Shipping Computes have declined the request of the Duhy Association to re duce the freights largely on butter and cheese. They refuse to go beyond an eighth of a penny on butter, and will concede no thing on cheese. 'J he Dairy Association asked for three-sixteonths on butter and one-six teenth on cheese, net weight, and no primage. The present rates, it is stated, are equal, oq a measurement basis, to £6 per s ton for butter and £5 for cheese, as against ' £2 13s 6d for frozen mutton. Police Appointments ,

The Post states that besides the appoint ment of ex-Inspector Tun bridge, of Seotlaed Yard, to the position of Chief Commissioner of Police for the colony, the Premier while at Home secured the services of two first class London detectives, one of whom will be placed in charge of the service with power to introduce reforms, and the other stationed in the South Island,

HOISTING THE FLAG AT AKAROA.

A contributor to the New Zealand Times gives the following interesting particulars relative to the hoisting of the British flag at Akaroa. It appears that there is a popular supposition that this planting of the flag on the Akaroa Peninsula was the means of preventing the acquisition of these islands by tho Frensh, but as a matter of fact such was not the case, for Lieutenant- Governor Hobson had proclaimed the Queen's sovereignty over the Middle and Stewart's islands long before the arrival of the French ship i'Aube. This proclamation was dated the 21st May, 1840, whereas the French cor vette only arrived at the Bay of Islands on her way to Akaroa in July of the same year. Moreover, Captain Nias, of H.M.S. Herald, had, as early as the 17th June, 1840, hoisted the Union Jack with some military ceremony, at a pah on the shores cf Cloudy Bay. The French had, however, it appears, determined to establish a colony of their own at Akaroa, and a transport ship, the Oomte de Paris, was even at the time of the British proclamation preparing to leave for >ew Zealand with the French emigrants. The I'Aube was at che Bay of Islands biding her time for action ; but while the French commander was being hospitably entertained by the Lieutenant-Gover nor at that place, the old ship Brito mart secretly and hurriedly left the port ahead of her, and it became a question of a race to Akaroa. The fates, or rather thb winds, were against the French, for though the Britomart, under press of canvas, lost some spars, and the French frigate overtook her, the latter got becalmed under a head land, and the Britomart, taking a fresh start, pushed on, reached Akaroa, and hoisted the British flag shortly before the Oomte de Paris hove in sight. The Frenchmen, however, accepted the situation with a good grace, and ex tended their hospitality to the British magistrate, who lived for a time on the French frigate. The French sea men were even employed to build the house at Ak->roa for Her Majesty's representative, much to the astonish* ment of their countrymen in all other parts of New Zealand, and to the no small amusement of the English.

FACIS ARE CHIELS THAT WINNA DING, AND DAURNA BE DIS PUTIT."-Bubns. FTIIMES change, and with them manners JL and tastes. The unimpeachable evi dence of statistics of trade tells us that the people readily appreciate a good and pure article in preterence to a dear and inferior one. This has never been bo clearly demon strated as in the records of the Customhouse. In 1885 Ceylon Tea made its first appear ance in New Zealand. That year the total quantity imported from all sources was 4,442,8671b, of which 1 China supplied 2,487,6611b, or 60£ per cent. ( India supplied 150,6441b, or 3i per cent. Ceylon supplied 4tO3H>, or 001 per cent. That INSIGNIFICANT LITTLE SHIPMENT to this colony was so appreciated that people asked for more and got it. 45 years later (1890) the imports stood thus :— China supplied 976,2401b, or 25£ percent. India supplied 657,9021b, or 17 per cent. Ceylon supplied 303,13 iyil>, or Of per cent. The total imports for that year from all sources were 3,849,1051b. It was this year that Suratura Tea was introduced, and became a boon and a blessing to humanity. How it has established itself in the homes of the people may be seen by the manner in which it has distanced all rivals, and materially assisted to drive China teas out of consumption. In 1896— China supplied 58,9411b, or 1} per cent. India supplied 902,6461b, or 20J per cent. Ceylon supplied S ,:310, i I £Slt>, or £>45J per cent. No other article of domestic consumption can show anything approaching this. Suratura Tea is picked and packed in Ceylon, thereby preserving its freshness and aroma until it reaches the consumer—which accounts for its economy and purity. Suratura Tea is NOT blende 4 with India or China Teas. JOHN ORR & CO., agents.



Holloway's Pills and Ointment.—The most effectual Cure for Gout) and Rheu matism—A frequent cause of these com plaints is the inflammatory state of the I blood, attended with bad digestion, lassitude and great debility, showing the want of a proper circulation of the fluid, and that impurity of the blood greatly aggravates these disorders, Holloway's Pills are of so purifying a nature that a few doses taken in time are an effectual preventive against gout and rheumatism but anyone who has an attack of either should use Hollo* way's Ointmont also, the powerful propor ties of which, combined with the effects of the Pills, ensure a certain cure. The Oint ment should be thoroughly rubbed into the parts affected at least twice a day, after they have been sufficiently fomented with warm water to open the pores to faoiliate the introduction of the Ointment to the glands.
