The Sydney Presbytery examined Mr Rutledge, Wesleyan minister, who made the charges of drunkenness Against a Presbyterian minister to the Rev Mr laitt. The inquiry was conducted with closed doors. Mr Butledge declined to make a statement m support of his allegations. He also declined to divulge the name or say whether the clergyman was within the jurisdiction of the Presbytery or not. The Presbytery regretted that m con sequence of Mr Rutled^e's reticence it was unable to pursue the enquiry. The Broken Hill Fire.

We would remind our readers of the con- I cert by the Corriek Family this evening at the Oddfellows' Hall. No expense or trouble has been spared to make this a popular and ?et & good concert. The Scena and Aria • Was this the man 1 " from the opera of ;i to tje sung with orphestral accompaniments by Miss Alice Corrick, is very dißietil& and yet pleasing. It is only a singer with a really good Bopr&np voice who pan succ* ed with the music of this difSqilt pharaptrr, but it) was sung by Mies Corrick at the Wellington Exhibition, and by special request for the Christchurch and Dunedin Orchestral Societies, on each occasion with signal success. Songa will also be given by Mrs Corrick, who has always been a favourite m Ashburton ; Miss Ethel Corrick, a charming singer of twelve years of age; Mr C. Read, the popular Christchueh tenor; and Mr A. F. young, a well-known basa. Mr D, Ryan's recita tions are exceedingly funny, and one cannot but laugh ab his inimitable drolleries. Tho re wiahiDg to be well entertained could not do better than attend the concert this evening* The Qpunake Times reports: —" There has been a serious disturbance at Piharaa amongst the Native's during the past few days. necessitating the presence of Inspector JlcGoyern and Constables Twomey, Hick man and Salmon to preserve the peape. The dispute is over the right of occupancy of the Jand between Pihama and the Oeo river on the sea Bide of the main road. The ill-feel ing has become so great now that a great amount of damage has been done, scores of chains of fencing have been demolished and burnt, and one house was partly burnt. The leader of the Te Whitiites gave orders for all the houses to be burnt, and the carrying oufe of this order would have meant blood shed, m all probability, had not the timely arrival of the police prevented it. The out look at present is tbafc the Te Whitiites will prevent the other resident Natives from cropping, and they will most likely find themselves face to face with want during the coming season. The wreck made of all property is quite equal to what an old war party would have produced."

It is proposed by the promoters of this Company, that when formed, the Company proceed with the manufacture of the Blight Specific, and dispose of the same to the best advantage, and it is confidently anticipated that the sale of the above men tioned specific which is increasing daily, will realise a very handsome return to the shareholders. The mixture can be safely applied to al parts of the tree from the fall of the leaf till the bursting of the buds again m Spring. The stem and main branches may be safely dressed at any period of the year. One good dressing will be found a most effectual cure for Scale Blight, and the tree will not re quire further dressing for years. For Aphis, Red Spider, Codlin Moth, and all Mosses or Lichens, Wheelband's Patent Blight Specific will be found amo3t effectual remedy. It will also promote a^ h^MthV vigorous growth of wood, and a" plentiful crop of prime,, clean fruit. i The above advantages are admitted by leading Nursery Experts as being the only means of destroying Scale Blight and Codlin : Moth, increasing the growth and keeping the tree m a fresh and healthy condition at a cheap and reasonable ooat. In confirma tion that the Specific possesses the requisite qualities it is gratifying to be able to herein add the very satisfactory reports of, the ex ceedingly severe testa to which the Speoi% has been subjected.
