Kobertson, who was author Bed to a «om' pan, him, had not kepc his appoinC He was glad, however, to see , wo i*n«' sentatms of the Gardeners' HoricnUnwl"1' Society present, who, no doubt, would 2 the news of their society in respect to S projected poultry show in Jnly.—yi,;A°*f said it was quite impossible f ot thri, SLOiety to hold a horticultural' £* vegetable show as proposed, iS? would suggest that it be held in NoveniW '•■ in conjunction with the general sboTn* various societies.-Tne chairman said hiJ? were in their best plumage and trim ?* July. In November tbeir exhibits won"? not redound to the credit of poS breeder.—Mr Bullen, formeily of Ql mont Gaiden*, was of opinion that Nn'" vember and Match would be the^ineri mitable seasons for a combined show these were special seasons for flowers aL' vegetables; in these months flowers 3 ' cauliflower* were in thur bloom ami beaZ —Mr Smallfield said the question of!th*' show had been talked over, but it-w j useless to talk of a gardeners' sbo# in-Jnuf1' One of the best exhibitions of poultry jfrnif' 1 apples, and vegetables in Auckland, washeW some years ago in the market, and the «r periment waa financially successful -Mr Pearson feared that tbe autumn wasno'tsaik able tor a poultry show. Hewouldbesorrvto see their first attempt result in failure • still s the show might be postponed for a coufil. of months, tie desired to have a erand attraction as in the old country, with musii etc. MrCattwright,of Stone House,aeentle man of much experience as &. breeder of poultry, urged that if they wished to hays a society at all, subscribers should, not scruple to put their hands in their pocketa ' on special occasions and shew :by their -en" thusiam and liberality that they intended the a sociaiion to be of public advantage to the community at large. ,Mr GarfoW made leveral useful suggestions in order to ' success. The names of Mr Every Macltan (of Bleak House), Mr Lawford (of the Bank' of Australasia), Mr Kisslingi Mr batmux and Mrs Edward Wood (of He NorS Shore) werd meutioned as likely to exhibit. Mrs Wood had beenI»'saW' cessful exhibitor, tor years past, and had'i taken first-class prizes for her langsiians ' at Elleraiie and elsewhere.—lt was was te-' solved "That Mr Kobertsbn be president of the Association." Mr Kanderson awepted' the position of vice-president y also1 that the secretary look for a-more'central hall'; for holding meetings.

CITY COUNCIL ON RATE COLLEC TION.

(To the Editor.) Sir,—There is one point of some interest: the discussion which took (place lastnigi in the City Coancil, which, unless, dnggis from its obscurity, might possibly 1 overlooked. 'It is in the statement matte ] Councillor Aickin to the effect (if correctl repotted) that the rate of Is 3d in the during the years JBBI and 18S2 was£ll,l7 3a 6d, whilst , for the new .year, jos closed it only produced £10,997 1 Id, It 13 very evident, Mr Edito that there is a screw loose somewhere—is bocause the Council 'has, against thee peiie'Ce of its own and other borough giine back to the indoor collection t Wha ever may be the reason, there is need ft enquiry considering the rapidity with which ' buildii-gs have been irecUd for some yeiTß pii>t; apart, there ought to be a substantial mc ea'e in ibe lates received every year, Tbi3 is an important matter, when it is te> membered.that within the last few years tome thousands of pounds were struck off as nnrecjterable rates; some of which need not have been struck out if proper vigilance had been exercised in the collectors' depart ment, the parties in many cases being quite able to pay, but the s-atute of limit* tion debarred the Council from taking proceedings—the statute of limitation for special rates beiog (if my memory.serves me) (wo years. 1 trust the members will look into this matter, and not allow moneys legally due by ratepayers; to bs loi-t to the Council through the apathy or iodifletence of the officials. In Christ church and Duncdin ti.iogs are maniged differently. There the servants of the Council seem to ptide themselves in coll»; ting to tho last shilling if possible, and witb good results. The rate payers/PUnld, no doubt, be pleased if the same «il characterised our officials here.—Yqnp,..;,. ; :

COUNCILLOR BOARDMAN AND THE WATER CHARGES.

(To the trditbr.J Sib,—Couucillor Boardman h»s earned ttfl gratitude and esteem of the ratepayer fw the very lucid statement he has mads oa this water question. How the eoancillon, especially those of the Fiuance Committee, can justify their conduct, is one of .thtw; things no l< feller" can nnderetand,!* &tj propoie to the Council to borfoVmomtf £250,000, and suggest as a moawof W ing a portion of the interest;'4»i»« £4,000 annually, the profit UKly,,.'? be made upon the sale of water, «P ♦he same document they inform ™ Council that they fear there wuTl»n». piolit at all. There are so many <*aig« to be made against this reventtt waiw have been hitherto overlooked,., *»,■*'•. overplus is, after all, only a myth '".S ratepayers are going to allow themselTW to be raided by such absurd and nillysßK mtnts a9 these, they are more arrant rot™ than 1 took them to be. The MayptfaoaMM requisltioned;to call a meeting of,***& aud let the matter i>e fairly discussed, iW fhoald not stop oven here, but a Ka»Wjv Association shouia be started to ITOri"* action of the Council in these and wo* matters. The moral support pi sne?(!J; msiitntion would be of vast assjstan «i»» mcmbar conscientiously striving to «of. duty.-\ours, etc., TBE KOTOKUA MAIL.

Com pany Limited, ia organised to manufacture Bar and Pijr Iron and Wire from the iron sand deposits of the West Coast, by means of tho patents owned by Messrs John Chambers ana U. H. Uardnor. Tho practicability of these patonts having boon fully proved by tho worka at present in operation at Onehunga, there romain but two points to be conßidered-vlz.. tho aost of manu facturing and the market for the product. THK COST. In estimating tho comparaU ye cost «t manu facturing iron here and in England there arp three itema to be considered, ra : labour, coul, and raw material. The raw material Is almost a nominal oo«t to us. The coal will cost ho more here than In England, for It Is intended to use only gas for all heating purposes in tho works, which can dj produced by means of gas generator* from slack or any brown coal at a far lower cost than the same amount of heat can bo obtained from burning coal. Labour is then the only item which will cost more hero than in England, and we havo to consider what advantage we possess to counterbalance this yroatcr cost. These advantages consist (Ist) in situation, by which wo save 10 per cent, on tho Homo cost whioh la absorbed in commission, insurance, oxchango and lnterost. and outward freight, as the freight from Auckland or Onohunga to dif ferent places in tho Colony will bo nomorothan the charges in England in bringing the iron from tho mills by rail and cartage and shipping charges in London; (2nd) In our proofs, by whioh we savo cost of fettling (or wrought iron sorapi, which in pnddUng from pig has to be put Into tho furnace, and the cost of making the pig and tho wastoof tho Bsme in puddling. This is a most important item in our favour, and would be alone sufficient to counterbalance the greater cost of labour, for by tho patonts under which this Company will work tho samo result Is obtained, from Iron sand as is obtained from Pitt iron, thus saving the expense of making tho pig. Tho difference in coat botwoon pig iron in England, sultablo for making good bar Iron, and iron sand at Onohunga being lolly Sis per ton in our favour. If then, wo take tho amount of saving which wo havo by our process and situation to counter balance the greater cost Of wagoa in this Colony,.wo havo:— Ist —10 per cent, on the Homo coßt—say £7.. 14/ 2nd-Sttvin« in freight 25/ 3rd-Saving of fettling .. .. .. ~ * Ith-Saving of cost of making tho nig .. 35/ sth— Saving of manufacturers profits ~ 7/ 8V Tho total cost of labour In manufaotaring pig iron into finished burs in England a undor 35s per ton, so that if tho coat of labour here Is even as hIEU ns 60a there remains a largo margin of profit. It \i estimated that Iho total cost of the best finished bar iron at Onehunga will bo un der £6 per ton. THE MARKKT. Tho production of cheap Iron opens so largo a fluid of industry that it is impossible to ostlmate tho fnturo of this trade. It ia an undoubted fact that bar iron can be made from iron sand more cheaply than from any other ore. Tho Bupply of raw matorial is unlimited, and Now Zealand should become ono of the largest iron producing countries in tho world. Tho many branches of manufacture, of Which cheap iron is tho prime essential, will no doubt spring Into lifo now that both iron and coal may bo obtained in Ne\v Zealand, and with tha supply so will the demand increase The amount of iron Imported Into Australasia In 1882 was as follows :— Australia. Now Zealand, 11. Tons. Tods. Bar Iron .. .. 44,500 9,250 63,760 FonoineWiro .. 40,000 8,500 49,500 Galvanised Iron- 37,080 B,'oo 45.080 Pig Iron .. .. 21,500 4,0 0 88.500 Plate Iron.. .. 0,250 1,000 10,850 Wire Nails .. 8,750 2,750 9.500 Hoop Iron.. .. 3.750 850 4,600 ghoetlron.. .. 3.600 600 4,108 These figures do not inclndo Tasmania or West Australia, The present cost of South Staffordshire Iron, which is universally used in these colonies, is £7 10a. f.cb., London, costing dellv«ry in New Zealand about £9 10a, which is one of the lowest prices for many years, owing to the dopro»sion of tho Iron industries In England. Auckland iron at £8, f.0.b., would thus keep out tho imported iron, and loavo a large profit t o the manufacturers. It is also proposed to manufacture the Iron Into a fow articles which are largely used, such as fencing standards, fish plates, railway spikes, &0., &0., on which a larger profit can bo made. Fencing standards cost In tho South Island about £11 per ton, and aro used to the extent of over 3000 tons per annum, and in other lines largo quantities can be Bold at better profits than can be made on bar Iron. Fencing wire being protected by a duty of £1 per ton, and by a largo cost of importing, offers a profitable Hold of Industry; and it is proposed to add this line to the products of tho Company as soon as tho abovo operations are at work. Tho Blag from the puddling furnacos, if it con tains a sufficiently high percentage of Iron, will I bo smelted in an ordinary blast furnaoo, and ' run into pig iron, thus utilising all tho wasto products. Sydney and Melbourne will take a largo Quantity of iron from us, as low freights aro easily obtained to those colonies. It is oxpec'cd that Now Zoaland iron can bo gont to England und tho United States at very profitable prices, as tho iron mado from Band in tho United States by this process is found to bo of so superior a quality for making high-priced steel that tho whole of It ia con sumed by that branch of industry, and the frlco paid would yield us a largo profit. nilia, China, Japan, and San Francisco opon fields for exportation, whioh wo may shortly hope to compete for, as our location is most favourable for them as a basis of supplies, and at certain seasons of tho year freight can bo had nt a merely rate; and a speedy enlargement of tho works, as tho requirements of tho trado may demand, i 3 provided for in tho 28,000 unallotted shares. Those shares, when allotted, will be offered to tho stockholders at par in proportion to tho Bharcs held. This Company will tako over tho concessions obtained by Messrs Chambers and Gardner, consisting of 1000 acres of land, and four miles of foreshore on tho North Head and two miles of foreshore on the South Head of Manukau Harbour, and throe miles of foreihore at Tara oaki, whioh will supply all tho iron sand nooes- E'lry for many years to come. No other place on the west const offers such facilities for cheap coal and ready transportation of the finished product as Onohunga; as, from its location we can ship from oither the East or West Coasts, and from tho North Head the Band can be put into barges at any state of the tido or weather, without going outside tho Heads, and brought to our own wharf. These considerations make these concessions particularly valuable, whilo tho lease at Tara naki will be available for the manufacture of charcoal iron, as a good quality of charcoal can be obtained in that district at a reasonable price. The New Zealand Government has offered a bonus of £1,000 for the first 200 tons of wrought iron b!onms,and an additional£l,ooofor the first 200 tons of pig iton, manufactured from iron sand, which this Company will secure. Tho patonts owned by Messrs Chambers and Gardner aro so essential to the manufacture of iron by tho direct process, that it is impossible to manufacture iron from iron sand in payable I quantities without thorn, thus securing to- the Company a virtual monopoly. Of the first allotment of shares, Messrs Cham bers and Gardner will receive for thoir New Zealand patents 3,000 shares paid-up to £4, and in future allotments of shares up to 40,000 in all, 25 per cent, of such allotments paid up to £4. 9 000 shares are at present offered to the publio, payable as follows:—10s on application, 10s on allotment, and 20a at intervals of 3, 6. and 9 months the remaining 20s at an intorval of not lees than three months after the last call, but it is not anticipated that it will bo necessary to call up more than SA per share. In view of the many advantages we possess— a large and constantly growing market at our doors, and separated by so many miles from its present base of supplies, a practically unlimited supply of iron Band, suitable coal at a low price close at hand, and the cheapness of our working —we have no hesitation in offering tho shares of this Company as one of tho safest and most profitable investments whioi) lifts over been ; Jjefore the public,



Mercnanoiae. TTITCHENS'S BLOOD RESTORER FOB CLEANSING, PURIFYING, AND INVIGORATING THE BLuOD. Seven Years' TeEt in Auckland. rr^HIS Medicine differs from ordiuary pro- JL piielary preparations, inasmuch as it was the pn duct of yea's of study and investigation by an eminent physician of the Army Medical Stuff, witu whom Mr llitcheus served during the r*ew Zealand War, as Assistant Dispenser to the Im perial Forces. On its introduction to the public us a specific for the cure of Rheumatism, Kheumatic uout, Scrofula, Skin Diseases, Blood Impurities, and General Debility, i!i quickly attained great celebrity, and soon was sought after from every part of New Zealand. Its curative and depuraiive properties have been fully testified by the numerous testimonials received by the proprietor from patients who had I'ing suffered from the above distressing maladies, who had ap plied in vain to physicians for relief, and in ■whoso cases, Turkish Baths, Hot Springs, and other popular remedies had been re sorted to without effect. This celebrated medicine is compounded from products of the vegetable kingdom, is palatable and easily taken, mild, but effec tual, in its action upon the animal econ omy. It is, in sooth, a veritable Blood Kestorkr. cleansing it, and thereby restor ing diminished vitality. It presents, un questionably, a purer, safer, better, and more reliable alterative medicine than any that has hithetto been available to the people. MURE TESTIMONY I Not a SURPRISING CURE To those who know what H ITCHKNs1 Blood Restorer HAS DONE. In the Auckland BvuNlNa STAR of the 27th April last, appeared the following local, which explains itself :— The brig Bella Mary, from Melbourne in ballast, bound for Kaipara, put into har bour yesterday morning to obtain medical aid for Captaiu Owens, master of the vessel, who has been very unwell during the latter part of the voyage. Captain Owens, who has followed the seafaring profession for n any > caw, im:l had never until leaving Melbourne on April 10th last, suffered trom illness of any severe nature, was suddenly seized on that date with violent pains in the luck. Since then he lias been swung up in a hammock in the cabin quite helpless. The vessel wa« off Kaipara at noon on Thursday last, but the weather being thick and foggy, it was deemed advisable to come on to Auck land for medical assistance. The barque arrived early yesterday morning, and Dt Moore having Ik en sent for, visited Capt. Owens, and gave instructions to the mate of the vessel regarding treatment. The invalid is suffering from a species of lheumaliwm of a severe nature, and the doctor considers it advisable to effect a partial recovery before attempting the re moval of his patient to more suitable quarters on shore. Capt. Otftns is well known i» Auckland, and many residents will be torry to learn of his affliction." i Referring to above,, Captain Owen has this day (Ist December), stated: " Aftei being treated for about five weeks by twe medical .men successively, with very little alteration in my condition, except that ihc pain in my hands and back was made somewhat easier through the effect of the galvanic battery, I felt a gradual sinking that told me the dread end trat-not far off, and one of my visiting friends suggested that I should try what Hitcheh's Blood Restorer would do, as it was being si talked about far and wide. Without mucl faith in it, I consented to try it, but die not oo'.ice any good effect until I had takei about the third or fourth bottle, when uij , appetite decidedly quickened, and I fel th»t my strength was coming back to me I then ceased to take the medicine, nut allowed nature to take its course, bu finding my appetite going, I stimulated 1 by miiill doses of the Restorer, using n< other medicine, but applying the ointmen freely. By degreea my whole systen ! seemed to be invigorated; and now, after i i treatment of six months, 1 am able to re { Hiimc charge of my vessel, and am onlj waitiug her arrival in port to do to. I car easily walk four mile? a day without lh< slightest inconvenience.
