' truth with regard to the asphalt spec; ioa tion. Mr Editor, T have seen " Fair Play's" letter and it contains facts—and facts are stubborn things. 1 m'" give yoii the clause of the specification winch lexers to the tluek nesa: << flic bottom layer of asphalt to be laid two incites thick, and afterwards rolled tin. it becomes hard and smooth ; the top layer one inch, and afterwards rolled till it becomesfeard RtiA smooth." I, being one of tender** adsodtho City Surveyor to explain it to me, tf it meant three inches thick before rolling or tl»ree inches thick when finished ; and he told me that he would have to see Mr Knight before he could tell, r-nd asked me to call agfui, which I did (at the same time I thought .it rather strange for a man not to be al>le to explain what ho had written, for I supposed that he wrote it) Next evening I C^ ed, and he told me that he had seen Mr Iv night, and he said that the bottom layer merit fwo inches when rolled, as they always left their bottom layer two inches after rolling, and the £.op layer ou« inch before rowing, and he supposed it would ro 1! don.i.i-:'ich, len^ngit 23: whenur <*heA. Tbia is the explanation that 1 got from the' tho City Surveyor, pnd I snppoao that I nrnsfc take it to be true. Now, Messrs Knightf, Crawe and Co., " Fair Play " is apeab'ng the truth what ever you may tly-* Tc about it. Mr Editor, I could say more were it not for trespassing on your space.—Yours, £""••» Mor.ivtsoN.

RE MRS BELL.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sib,—Will, you kindly p^ow me sppee in your valuable paper to reply to Mr Joy's fetter. I retrined him to appear ;n the VoYLez Court on behalf of my wife, for wl-'ch I paid Mm £-i ?i, and at a later period sup plemented it with an additional £5, making in all £8 3s. I a^o gave him a pronrssory note for an additional £5, which note he now has. I was led by him to believe that he •would defend her, and by his instrnctions I went to the Thames to see if I could get witnesses as to character, and to raise money, being assured by Mr Joy that the case would not be heard for a few days. I was never given by him to understand that he would not defend her, and up to the present time h-i has retained letters and papers c ->nnected with the case. Mrs Be 11, of Parnell, opened a letter which was the property of my wife, and had I thought that Mr Joy would not have defended her I should hare secured the services of some one else. I believe ten guineas is the usual fee, ?"id seeing that I have been charged £13 3s, I do not think there wjw much owing on the part of Mr Joy. 1 never received any intimation from him to the effect that he would not conduct the defence, and or!y left Auckland "before stated at his request.—Yours, &c, W. H. Bell. _____——

TXR BRIGHT'S PHOSPHODYNE, J— * A Chemical Preparation of Phosphorous, with the Vvjdahlc Alkaloids [Qumia, Cypripedm, Xanthbzylin, the, Discovered, introduced, and extensively prescribed by Ouaulbh Leslie BuxiUT.M.D., Resident Surgeon to St. Mary's Hospital London. This PhouphatiO combination is pronounced by the most eminent members of the Medical Profession to be Unequalled for its power in replenishing the vitality of the body,, by its supplying all the essential con stituents of the blood and nerve substance, and for developing all the powers and functions of the system to the highest degree. ■ It is agreeable to the palate and innocent in its action, while retaining all Its extraordinary properties, and as a specific surpassing all the known therapeutic agents of the day for the speedy and permanent euro of- Nervous Prostration Trembling of the hands and Liver Complaints limbs Palpitation of the heart Impaired nutrition Dizziness Mental and physical de- Noises in the hoad and ears pression Loss of energy andappetite Consumption (in its inci nypoehonaria pient or first stages only) Female complaints Eruptions of the skin General debility Impaired sight and memory Indigestion Nervous fancies Flatulence Impoverished fancies Incapacity for study or Impoverished blood business Nervous debility in all its Sick headache stages Lassitude Premature decline Shortness of tho breath and all morbid coniitions of the system, arising from whatever cause. The action of the Phosphodyne is twofold—on the one hand increasing the principle which constitutes nervous dnefgy, and on the other the most powerful blood and flesh generating agent known ; therefore, a marvellous medicine for re novating impaired and broken-down constitutions. It quickly improves the function of assimilation to s. 311 a degree that where for years an emaciated, anxious, cadaverous, and semi-vital condition has existed, the flesh will rapidly increase in quantity and lirmness, and tho whole system return to a state of robust health. ' The Phosphodyne acts electrically upon tho organi sation ; for instance, it assists nature to generate that human electricity which ronews and rebuilds the the osseous, muscular, nervous, membranous, and organic systems. It operates on the system without exciting cave or thought upon the individual as to the process. It moves the lungs, liver, heart, kidneys, stomach, and intestines, with a harmony, vigour, yet mildness, unparalleled iv medicine. The Phosphodydno gives back to the human struc ture in suitable form, tho phosphoric or animating element of life which has been wasted, and exerts an important influence directly on the spinal marrow and nervous system, of a nutritive, tonic, and invigorating character; maintaining that buoyant energy of the brain and muscular system which renders the mind cheerful, brilliant, and energetic, entirely overcoming that dull, inactive and sluggish disposition which many persons experience in all their actions. .', The beneficial effects of the Phosphodyne are fre quently shown from the first day of its administration by a remarkable increase of nervous power, with a feeling of vigour and comfort to which the patient has long been unaccustomed. Digestion is improved ; the appetite increases wonderfully; the bowels become regular; the eyes brighter; the skin clear and healthy ; and the hair acquires strength, showing the importance of the action of the Phosphodyne on the organs of nutrition. Finally the Phcsphodyre maintains a certa n degree of activity in the previously debilitated nervous system ; its use enables all delibilated organs to return to their sound state and perform their natural func tions. Persons suffering from Nervous Deliih'ty, or any of the hundred symptoms which this distressing disease assumes, may rest assured of an effectual and even speedy cure by the judicious use of this most invaluable remedy. nil. bright's pb:ospho.oynb Is sold only in cases at fi.X Is, containing two bottles ; and £2 2s, containing live boiiles.
