Ido not intend to assert that all pub- j ;licans adulterate their "liquors; but there are ?some who are base enough to do anything for money;* and it' is to thepe that = the -'attention i' ;of the authorities should be directed ; and the Licensed'v'iotuallers''Association should, | in their own interests, do all in their power :to expose such nefarious practises. . Cases frequently occur where handsful of tobacco leaves have/heen extracted from casks con taining rum, the effects of which are hurtful : in the highest;degree. ? Of course it is an ; Accepted fact that publicans dilute their j grog previous to! selling iti' -' If only water , were,used the, result would be harmles^^ per-^ haps'beneficial. But to-,suit the vitiated palates of their customers they have to bring the strength up again, plain.spirit being some- . times used for this purpose; but very frequently j far more injurious, substances are used, the • uneducated public being apparently satisfied j as long as the stuff stings the palate j in fact the hotter it is the tetter'they like*it. All : drinkers should remember that.mellowness, | and not ipirituousness,' is the criterion of ; good spirit. Adulteration of food is a crime which should be visited with the,severest, punishment the law- can inflict, for I think.: that man who makes his living by selling articles of food which he knows are adulte rated with poisonous ingredients -guilty of a crime far worse than the man who in a sudden : access pf finger kills his fellow-being.., Jty is, j in fact/a'kihd'of murder, and as such cannot j be too strongly dealt with. Any one found selling liquor, adnlter.ated t with no?fiqu3 jn-^ gredienta should.he heavily fined ii* the firfit ; instance;oandhavejhis license cancelled fora i period, and on again offending should bo im- | prisoned for a term, and never again be • permitted to hold a license for the sale of ■. liquors. I have been induced to say more than I I intended on this subject because it is, one that needs f both discussion' and reformation. Having so far trespassed on your space in offering the above suggestions I will con clude by givinga list .of ingredients (mostly | virulent poisoii&) which, are-used in the adul teration of liquor, so that people may know what they are liable-to- drink. Beer is adulterated with water, cqculus indicus, hen baney I 'opium, .nux irpmicaj. and Bohemian j rosemary, which are: used to.give it, a sharp, and bitter flavour. Bohemian rosemary is a deadly poison, a small twig producing raving intoxication. Aloes, gentian, quassia, and wormwood are also' used^tqTgive % bltter-t flavburi Ginger, cassia buds, and capsicum plroduce pungency. • TreSclei; tobacco juice, and hutnfe su^arr giv&. iti3ar'coldurV -'Oil df ...vitriol it transparent, and l imparts a taste, of;'.agej|; and,.. n . lastly, copperas Jeanfd Of tartar will raise •*•»_ splendid^ .head *'\ju> ; this f pure malt ■ liquor.

INCIPIENT FIRE IN QUEEN-STREET.

:Aw outbreak of fire, which was fortunately and extinguished in time to prevent jits doing more than a f*w shillings worth of S damage, occurred this afternoon in the house 1 occupied by Mr H A. Jones, barber, at the Jcprner of W.est Queen-street. The proprietor iof the1 -premises was* engaged cooking'at the: stove on the ground floor about eleven o'clock. This stove is placed against the lining of the weather-boarding on the side adjoining Messrs* Hamilton. Bros, premises. Between the lining and the chimney there is a wall one -brick thick. While Mr Jones was thus, engaged., he noticed a strong smell ot burning, the i origin, of "which he was at a loss to dfscover. The smell continuing he thought something was wrong,; and running over to Mr Asher, informed him of. the circumstance. Mr A sher promptly examined the premises. First he noticed smoke issuing from the space between Jones', shop and Hamiltoh'a. Seeing the position of the fireplace Mr. Asher at once concluded that the seat of the burning was in the lining behind the bricks. This turned. out to be the case. It was found on examination that the mortar .between some of the bricks had crumbled away and the fire had got to the woodwork. It was only smouldering when discovered/ A baby engine was sent for from the New Zealand Insurance Com pany and Mr Asher with this assistance soon averted the threatened'blaze. Great credit is due to Mr Asher for the promptness of his measures.

AMUSEMENTS.

THE CALIFnRNT4y.BTI£ST.It7JLS,

This company of first-class Minstrels en tertained: a full house last night with their fine songs and impersonations of character. The sweet sentimental songs of the firpt part, of the programme: were loudly applanrlw], '■ and evidently appreciated, by the numerous visitors. The banjo solo by Mr RockeMler elicited a ro\mc( of applause, as it certainly deserved. The singing of tlie other meniVrs of this talented company was also.highly ( ' accjj^table.' A slight change in the pro gramme will be made this evening. ' j :;..,■> noJJ ' 111S CIRCtTS. : The performances last evening was va.riecl arid gone through •with much spirit, j the successive feats of dexterity, ard Tiornp. manship being much applantipd. Mr services in his dual 'capacity of clown nnd equestrian, supported by Mr South as jps^er, have added much to the life of the exhibition. There is an improvement also noticeable ■,in ;th& feata of the equestrians, Madame Salavaro and Young American being quite fearless in their.acts.: The Lilliputian ponies also received their share of admiration, and ' Ivince the highest training. A -special at traction is offered to-night in the spectacular production of/"Mazeppa; or, the Wild Horgfe. pf Tartar," for which the services of ; the Gollier: Dramatic Company have, been engAged. ; The management, we understand, have gone to considerable expense in order 4o render-thi»: production effective, and we anticipate for them commensurate success, j
