Thames, this day. Qcebs of Beatttt. —The crosscut has been driven westward at No. 7 level, and has intersected a promising leader about six inches iri thickness, which tho manager supposes to bo a portion of the Piako No. 1 reef. Driving has been commenced upon it seaward of the crosscut.'

New Prince Imperial.—The directors have purchased the Alburnia battery from the Deep Level Cross Company for the sum of £1,000, and tho manager has received instructions to preparo for deepening the shaft without delay. It is proposed to divide the block between the 500 and 640 feet level into two sections of 70 feet each, and from the appearance of the reef in the floor of No. 5 there is no reason to doubt that payable gold will be followed to a depth hitherto unprecedented.

Moanataiari Extended.—The winding and pumping machinery was formally started yesterday morning, in presence of a considerable number of spectators. Every thing works most satisfactorily, and the plant is pronounced one of the cheapest and most coinplote on the field. The total cost of purchase and ereotion is stated to be less than £1,700. Tbo contractors are expected to start deepening the shaft this afternoon,

As soon as It had been tested and provod by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable family medicine on earth, many Imitations sprung up. and began to steal the notices in which the Press and the people of the country had expressed tlie merits of H. 8., and In every way trying to Induce suffering Invalids to use thuir stun instead, expecting to raako money on the credii and good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. 8., with variously devisod names, ia which the word " Hop or "Hops" were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, ao matter what their style or name Is, aud -Specially those with the word "Hop* or " flops " in their name, or in any way conneotod With them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Tho Sunday Concert,

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—l havo read Mr Cooper's reply, and can I believe it I have recovered. Of course* when trying to give, I always prepare to take. Now, I deny that anyone's pleasure would have been marred, on the occasion referred tc, from abstaining from applause From what is the aim of applause? I take it not to gratify the giver, but as a compli. ment to the performer, and, as it has been well put, silence on occasions of this sort ia the very best recognition of approval which can be given. Mr Cooper can easily see from my letter that there was no mention of ob jection to tho '.' slight" applause, but it was to tho attempt of certain persons to raise applause throughout the evening against the feelings of the audience, and in the vory teeth of the management. Hence I think tho problem proposed is solved as to this occasion at all events. I fail to see anything wicked in applauding music of that class on Sunday any more than any other day; but as Sunday in Auckland has hitherto been held as a day of rest peace, and quietness, I contend that applause ef this kind is unseemly and opposed to decency. As to the " silly insinuation," Mr Cooper will not dare to deny that it was an active member of that Association who led the applause, and that other members placed in various parts of the house backed it up, so that my insinuation waß tc some extent justified. It is pleasant to learn that my inconsistency caused the grim William pleasuro. I do hope ho " smolo a smile " thereon. But I will not attempt to explain, as my lettor is already too long. I will, in conclusion, merely satisfy Mr C.'s wonderings by assuring him that I did not occupy a reserved seat, and that I contributed considerably more than tho orthodox threepenny.—l am, etc., A Christian.

Sins of Omission and Commission.

(To tho Editor.)

Sir,—Wo were told by Saturday's Stab that, for the omission of a sign, a Mel. bourne doctor has been committed for manslaughter. For the omission of common sense, or at least such sense aa a dispenser of medicine assuredly should, be possessed of, and for the com mission of an egregious blunder, the com pounder of tho fatal powder was simply chidden. As with an excuse, so it seems with a victim- any is better than none. Alas, for waywardnessltlie Alpha and Omega of human action. If medical men were al ways as severely dealt with, the art of heal ing would, methinks, scarcely count so many * votaries. I can remember, when an assistant, prescriptions being sent me from gentlemen, high in the profession, where an ounceflguredforadrachm,andmy experience la not single. But withoutcrlticising either the remedy or tho excessiveness, to my mind, of even one grain of morphia as a single dose for a woman, I would ask why men of science ivill continue to be so uh unscientific? If fashion be allowed, to rule in matters of dress, politics and re ligion, do let us exempt poor illused science from its trammels. If homoeo pathy bo a science, at least let it •be consistent. If solutions of such things as oarbonato of lime and sulphur, not only be considered possible, but of therapeutical value, why should a solution of morphia, whf.ch is slightly soluble in S, V.R., be dis carded, and relatively a tremendous dose of thecrudedrugbesubstituted. Now, I under stand attenuations of such drugs as this, or strychnia, 4c, but homoeopathic experience Heeras otherwise, the more potens the agent tho more concentrated tho form—and v.v. But if the matter of doße be im material to Hahneman's tenets, then why the multiplicity of attenuations, leading to confusion, and in the case before us, to fatal'orror ? Again, if it be important to administer each drug sepa: redely, and in minute quantities, ntfreguent intervals, how do we find that so powerful a drug as morphia should have a chance of being given in grain doses, and in media so questionable as milk? Lastly, allhmtgh "similia similibus eiirantur," yci hath a deadly agent " brought death into the world," and "all our woe " must echo the Melbourne doctor.—Yours obediently, Tom Duppuv,

HER SPEECH RESTORED.

Clair View, Inverell, Deo. 10,1883. Messrs Publishers Evening Stab. Dear Sirs,—l beg to acquaint you of a marvel lous cure following on the use of St. Jacobs Ofl, which has taken place in my own family, I at. a poor man with eight children', and for years have been a great suiferer from Boiatica. My wife was advised to try St. Jacobs OIL 8h« procured a bottle, and I have been using it of late with good results, but it Is of my eldest daughter, 13 years ot ag«, that I wish to tell you. She retired one night, about _ months ago. In her usual good health, bat the next morning she could not speak. I thought it was cold, and apgjJedjhe usual remedies, without eff-ot My "uflßCfc hor to Inverell to see Dr , who nuJ-BEa it was not a cold, but that her throat WSfl-Xcerated low down, and he prescribed ood 11 vet oil and other medicines, and also advised her to Inhale the fames ot Stockholm tar, say ing she might never recover her speech again. At the expiration ola fortnight, .the mediotnu having boen finished, another visit totheDc wag made, who again prescribed for her, hut told my wife he had no hope of her ever being able to speak again. We began to despair, but the day I used the oil—about three months afta. the was taken 111—I persuaded my wife, after w» had retired, to use the oil. She got up and gave the girl two drops in water, and nibbed ii on het throat, Next morning we were delighted to find that she could talk aa well as ever, and has been able to do so ever since.

I remain, gentlemen, Kratefully yours, JAS. R, HATCHER.
