Meat Preserving. A number of gentlemen in Sydney recently witnessed a practical test of Mr. Edward Naylor’s pa tent system of meat preserving. Beef or mutton is cut into table joints and partly cooked, after which each joint is succes sively immersed in pure stearine until it lias acquired a firm coating of that sub stance impervious to the air, while it re mains intact, and about three-quarters of an inch in thickness. It has been proved that meat with a coating of this descrip tion on it was quite fresh for sixty days after it was first operated upon. A few smart taps remove the stearine from the joints, which are then as presentable as if they had been just cooked and allowed time to cool. The process of preparing the meat for table is a simple one, con sisting only of warming up or rather com pleting the cooking which was commenced previous to the* meat being submerged in the stearine. Provided that the meat can reach the English markets with its coat ing unbroken (says the • ‘ Sydney Morning Herald ’) (here can be no doubt that it will find acceptance amongst consumers, for there is nothing when tiie second cooking process has been accomplished to distin guish it from ordinary cooked meat. The joints tested in this instance were legs of mutton preserved for six weeks by Mr. Naylor, who as far as lie has gone has ac complished a great success. Mr. Naylor believes that the stearine coverings of the meat will find a prompt sale in England, and that as lie dispenses with tinning in Ills process he will be able to land the meat there at a cheaper rate than that usually obtained for the preserved article. It is probable that he will shortly be able to make a trial shipment of some of the meat to England, and also engage in fur ther tests here, promises of support in those directions having been held out to linn.

Bclore Mr. Frank Guinness, R.M. POLICE CASES. Michael John O’Connor, charged with having no visible lawful means of support. Accused pleaded guilty. After evidence liis Worship sentenced prisoner to three months hard labor. CIVIL CASES. Before hearing the civil cases, his Wor ship invited the members of the profession to meet him on Monday evening to assist him in making suggestions as to the new rules proposed to be brought into force for the guidance of R.M. Courts. The members of the Bar present signified their willingness to render every assistance in their power. Dundson’s Trustees v. M‘Laughlin.— Claim £4 Gs. Defendant pleaded that he had filed a declaration of insolvency, but it appeared that the goods were ordered by defendant’s son (who was the person sued). The summons was ordered to be served on the defendant’s son. Raton v. Murrell, Cleric of Court.— Claim £l, for buggy hire incurred by one Hicks, a bailiff of the R.M. Court, Asli burtorv, who told the plaintiff that the the account was to be sent to the Clerk of the Court, Ashburton, and it would be paid. Hicks showed plaintiff a warrant, on which a sum of 20s. was charged for horse hire. On the faith of the warrant, plaintiff supplied the buggy to Hicks on behalf of the Clerk of the Court, Ashbur ton.

The defendant (Mr. Harrell) deposed that lie never gave Kicks any authority to hire horses or buggies for the service of warrants. Hicks was paid for all work done for the Court. Plaintiff' was nonsuited with costs. Mr. Purnell for plaintiff, Mr. Ireland for defendant. Hudson’s trustees v. Patrick Collins.— Claim £lO 3s. lOd. on a dishonored pro missory note. Mr. Crisp for plaintiff, Mr. Harris for defendant.

Mr. Harris objected to the summons on the ground of informality, as the trustees were not properly described as required by the“ Debtors and Creditors Act, 1870.” Mr. Crisp replied to Mr. Harris’ objec tions, bub his Worship upheld Mr. Harris’ argument, and nonsuited the plaintiffs with costs. COSTS. An application was made by Mr. Ire land for professional costs in a case of Welsh v. Scott, heard at llakaia, but Mr. Purnell objected on several grounds. After a little sparring between the learned gentlemen engaged in the case, his Wor ship refused the application on the ground that lie had no jurisdiction, and. in giving judgment deprecated the personal state ments and aiiusions made by counsel on both sides.

THE BOROUGH ELECTION.

The voting fov the three vacant seats in the Municipal Council took place yester day, and resulted in the return of the three retiring members ; there was very little excitement over the affair, as it was.' a foregone conclusion that Messrs. Camp bell, Park in,'' and Friedlander would be returned, the oilier two being put forward merely as a “ feeler ” for the more impor tant event on Monday next. At 7p. in. the Town Hall was tolerably well filled, and Mr. Charles Braddell, lieturning Officer declared the following to be the result of the poll : James Campbell ... ... 15S Geo vs.; o Parkin ... ... 131 KudAph Friedlander ... 113 John Fowler... ... ... 107 ■ Knud Sando... ... ... (J 3 Tie declaration was received with cheers

The Mayor apologised’ for the unavoid able absence of Mr Campbell.

Mr. Parkin returned tlianks for the position in which the electors had placed him, and said that the}’’ having returned the three old members was a proof that their work had been approved of. Mr. Friediander, in thanking the elec tors for his return a second time, said that ic had been stated that the residence of a Councillor could be known by the state of the footpaths near his residence. He could, however, say that the footpath to his own. residence was still in its native state. Messrs. Fowler and Sando also returned thanks to those who had supported them. His Worship the Mayor expressed his gratification at the return of the three old members, as it proved that he and his fellow Councillors bad gained the confi dence of the ratepayers by the manner in which the Borough funds liad been ex pended. Owing to the depressed state of the money market, it was not advisable to float a loan at present, but the Council intended raising a sum of £2OOO to carry on works, and find employment for labor. (Cheers.) He would take this opportunity of thanking the Works Committee for the good work done by them, and he would also ask the ratepayers that }f at any time they had a grievance that it should at once be made known to the Council, and lie coulcl assure them that, if possible, it would be speedily rectified. In reply to Mr. Quill —He stated that there was great difficulty in getting any thing done on the Kailway Be,serve. Tire Works Committee bad been in constant communication with the Public Works Office, and it was through no neglect cn the Council's part that the unsightly nuisances on the reserve-had not been removed.

Mr. Parkin proposed, and Mr. Fried lander seconded, a vote of thanks to the Returning Officer, and the meeting dis persed.

E. G. WRIGHT’S LIBERAL LAND LAWS.

To the Editor of The Ashburton Herald. Sir, —Being an elector of the Coleridge district, and having from time to time noticed statements as to the merits and demerits of the two candidates seeking the suffrages of this constituency, and having been in the service of both of these gentle men, I now give give my experience of them. I served Mr. Hart for about three years, and always found him straightfor ward. I regret to say that my experience of Mr. Wright was anything but satisfac tory, and I now place the following facts before the public so that they may j udge for themselves :

At the time of my serving this gentle man I asked him to purchase me 100 acres of land, which he did, and for which I paid him £2OO. Subsequently, the gen tleman in question sent his son with a tracing of the land, and pointed it out to me. On this I placed a house, and brought my wife and seven children to reside there. On my applying to Mr. Wright for the License to occupy, he expressed his regret that it could not be produced as the land was mortgaged. I was therefore compelled to take back my £2OO, minus four months’ interest ; I was not permitted to remove my house, neither would he allow me anything for it. Does the above tally with placards posted all over the district, in which Mr. Wright pledges himself for Liberal Land Laws, and No Taxation on Houses.—l am, &e. ; Archibald Clark.

HAST v. WEIGHT.

Sir, —I am somewhat surprised that anjr intelligent elector can support Mr. Wright in this election, for the following reasons : Mr. Wright without a doubt stated to several persons that it was not his intention to contest the present election. On the day of nomination Mr. Wright denied that he had ever made such a statement. Mr E. Saunders’ statement at Seafield, substantiated by Mr. James Campbell’s letter in the “ Ashburton Mail,” is sufficient, we think, to show that Mr. Wright has tried to mislead the public. Mr. Ivess, the Person who pro posed Mr. Wright, has had so many shifts to ieturn his candidate, and has made so many misstatements that 1 consider it best to treat him with contempt, as it is impossible handle dirt without being defiled thereby. In conclusion I Avill review Mr. David Wilson (Mr. Wright’s seconder); this gentleman, in a local appearing in the “ Ashburton Mail,” writes to the effect that the Wakanui people were rather indignant at the manner in which Mr. Hart’s meeting Was conducted. lam not surprised at this emanating from Mr. Wilson since he had to confer s to having deviated from the truth in presence of his felloAV electors.

I am, &c., Philipp Tisch,

TRADE IN ENGLAND.

Speaking of the revival of trade in Eng land, tlie “Statist” says-:-—“So distinct is the revival of confidence, as exemplified by the rise in tlie stock markets, that it is open to doubt whether favorable antici pation lias not outrun the rise of prices warranted. Be that as it may, the rise is a part of the favorable trade statistics of the past month. We have not seen trade figures or a. more distinctly cheering cha racter than those of the past month in any month of the prolonged preceding de pression. What we now see is an absolute improvement in bankers’ clearing, the most comprehensive gauge of tlie volume of money transactions in our market ; an absolute increase in railway goods traffic ; a distinct elasticity in the public revenue returns. Cheerfulness and. hope are also apparent in the enhanced prices current in wholesale and in the public stock markets. There has ■ now been a considerable ex pansion of business in respect to markets since the worst point of depression and contraction ; there is in proportion only a slight addition to the solid trade move ment. But throughout the depression we endeavored to keep the fact that demand and supply business will remain, although a good deal of speculative froth be blown off. The “ Economist ” notes that cheap money always lias the result of stimula ting enterprise. People in time revolt against receiving only 3 per cent, or less for their money, and try, too often inef fectually, to obtain a higher return for it, A low rate for money does more than this. It has also the better result of enabling trade to meet more easily the diminution cf profit, or in some cases the actual loss at which some businesses have recently been carried on. Meanwhile, chequered with some reports of embarrassments, a slightly better statement as to activity of business reaches us from Manchester.”

A NEW PROPHET.

A man, representing himself to be the Prophet Elijah, is creating quite a “ furore ” in and about the ancient city of Chichester. Hearing the fame of this remarkable individual I (correspondent of “Telegraph”) drove over from Ports mouth last week to interview him. Pass ing through North street I observed a tall handsome man, dressed in a picturesque garb of sheepskin, with a cap if the same material and high cowhide boots, standing in tlie doorway of the George and Lragon Inn. I went inside and commenced to speak to him, but he retired up stairs. After some difficulty he was persuaded to come down into the best room in the house, where he received me. His ap pearance was very striking, having very good clean cut features of Asiatic type, being tall in stature and having an ever ready smile, and his dark whiskers' being set off to perfection by the light dress and cap. He carries a staff and small horn, which he blows through the streets and announces liis meetings, which are held in the People’s Park, and are very largely attended. He told me that he had been \ a landscape painter, and that eight months * ago he had seen several visions, in which he was told to call himself Elijah at all meetings ; and that he w r as the real prophet as foretold and promised in Malachi iv., verse 5. This verse is the whole foundation of his doctrine, which is to preach Anglo-Israelism to the English people, who, he states, are the lost ten tribes of Israel, and if they do not listen to him and return to Jerusalem, a great famine is prophesied. It is almost un necessary to say that at some of his meet ings lie has to encounter great opposition ; sometimes he has been stoned ; and at others made quite a hero of. He was lately in the south-east of England. He now expresses his determination to go all over London.

Torpedo Manoeuvres.— Since the late Avar (says the Pall Mall Gazette) a large number of torpedo boats haA r e, it is Avell known, been built for the Russian navy, which now possesses 120 of them. In order to practice both officers and men in handling them, a series of exercises have for some months past been carried on with the boats, twelve of them being in succession formed into a flotilla manasvred together. From the experience gained during these exercises, as well as from that acquired during the Russo-Turkish war, conclusions have been drawn that a tor pedo attack should never be made with a single boat, such an attack being only per missible under most exceptional circum stances. • The attack should be made on a previously and carefully concerted plan. The boats should be provided Avith either Whitehead or spar torpedoes. An attack ing flotilla of torpedo boats must be divided into three groups, namely, a pioneer group, an attacking group, and a reserve. The torpedoes should be ex ploded by means of automatic fuses, elec tricity being employed only Avhen these haA'e failed to act. The spars must only be loAvered iuto the Avater when the en gines are slowed or stopped ; AA-hen the boat is steaming at full speed they must be kept raised. The attack must be under taken, by signal from the commander of the A\diole flotilla, from several quarters simultaneously. The speed of the several boats during the first stages of the attack must be regulated by that of the sloAvest among them. The commander of the flotilla must always be in the last boat of tfie reserve ; and, finally, the torpedoes must be exploded under the bottom or the extremities of the vessel attacked.

Some men never lose their presence of mind. In New York a man threw his mother-in-law out of the window in the fifth story of a burning building, and carried a feather bed down stairs in his arms.

Swell —“ I Avant you to make me a short coat without tails or seams in the hack. Do you know Avhat I mean?” German Tailor — “ Yass, 1 knoAv vat you vaut. You A’ant a straight jacket,”

Holloway's Ointment and Pills. — Much watch fu l ness must lie exercised as winter advances and die earliest evidences of ill health must be immediately checked and re moved, or a slight illness may result in a serious malady. Relaxed and sore throat, diptheria, quinsey, throat cough, chronic cough, bronchitis, and most other pulmonary affections Avill be lelieved by rubbing this cooling Ointment into the sldn ns near as practicable to the seat of mischief. This treatment, so simple and effective, is admirably adapted for ihe removal of these diseases dur ing infancy and youth. Old asthmatic invalids will derive marvellous relief from the use of Holloway’s rente lies, Avhich have hi ought round many such sufferers, and re-established health after every other means had signally failed. — Advt.
