THE MIDDLE PARTY MOVE.

For reasons paToir "o-«• hare> th° inf°r unnecessary leas poßitive . mßt>°" n WI m Tght have used, considering bM b than 1 m'f.°£ mty o f my infor the ,gCe ThenW I subsequently tele ***\^ Sir Geo.

This *hoUldZ fl rtained during yesterday by a llutf iosed of Darga- S'w In the meantime Ministers were E&eeof Sir Geo, Grey's real attitude iftthtaL thty must have believed that hf tfM fr endly to them. To-day they Be nt X assurance that a cheap edition of S3, year's statistics, costing about 4s 6d "£h would b 9 published, while a week Svonrs to come." But to continue the Hoi my narrative. Tho Canterbury Sm, apparently taking their cub from SeMinUtrV", were very solicitous of Sir own W'>welfare yeaterday m°rning- Sd hwe been for days past and Z Treason why U evident. They thought that while the Committea motion would go to the wall, the Governnwnt would be enabled to rally a sufficient number to *am Sir George Grey's motion. When the House met at 7.30 this evening everything was ready for the staging of ZApolitical "comedy of errore." Both JSnosition and Ministerialists wore happy iSufirst because their game was again riavdate, and the second becauso they were fnHeßaradise. Well, as you will see £™ffl.ep«.ceedin g! .of the House, Btr Julius VogeJ .commenced the ball by Jalkine "nioey, nicey " about the line, and Sd figures to show tfiat the line would ow£6ooioooayear from tte first year it S^id operations, etc., with apparent euDStMssTbat I fan°y l conld do, tect ln his bearing the attitude of is man who was fizhtine ahspeJess cause, but knew that he hid a safe m«ans of retreat. Shortly after, Sir George Grey got up, and then delivered an eloquent speech in (ayodr of making the lino out of the loan The Ministry eagerly watched the dimai thte moving of the amendmont, and it was absolutely painful to see the surprise «id consternation on the faces of Ministers ud their supporters as Sir George Grey Mtdown without doing what was uxpeoted d hint Then there were sardonic grins on the faces oa the Opposition Benches. Had ha moved in motion or amendment, the House would hava been forced to affirm the dwirability of making the railway, and the Gweroment would have undoubtedly been mcd, bat the Ministerialists ss,w that Sir George Grey had failed them, and that the gaae was up. After that, the speakers on the Ministerial side adopted the principle of the well-known legal maxim, " No case. Abuie defendant*e attorney." Mr Holmes was the moat virulent. Sir George Grey, whom doubtless during the day ha aad been regarding with feeliogs of the warmest gratitnde, he referred to in the following terms: " Whan bia voice is most weajk, when apparently he is most eloquent, he jneanj humbug." Mr Pyke he accused of baiog "the buffoon of the Bouse," and for thepurpcßeof getting Mr Fishe? to tread on the toil of his coat, he said that when Wellington lost the seat of Government It would beeona* a first-class fishing village. He accused members in Wellington of opposing the proposal for fear of all her trade going to Auckland, and prognosti cated that in two years Auckland would see that by the construction of the line, and baring direct communication with tho Southern provinces, via Nelson, their city of Auckland would be the chief emporium of tli« colony. This, then, i« a sketch of the Opposition scheme, and its prospects np to this evening. I have got what the •porting fraternity call the "straight griffin" from my informant of last night Jhat the thing is "right," and quite inde pwdent of this I have other evidences that (ill plan has an excellent chance of being racoweftilly carried, A member of tho House, »k> is not in the main circle of the Opposition Party, and who, from tho Mependent position he has taken up, fa necessarily not particularly well informed as to what la going on in both sides of the House, has, just _ two minutes ago, sent *ac a note on the situa tion. You will see from the terms of his communication that he has a misty idea of the intrigue that is going on. So his note «Wflboiatea my accounts. When this rail way qwstion is settled, and members there by compromised free to act, a number of the younger meipbers will try and arrange some planef operjittoaa. ' They expect Sir Geo. wy and Major Atkinson to support them without taking office, apd have received asumnco from both them that they will do «o. The tug will coma when they proceed to arrange- a common platform, but it will probably take the direction of reduction of wpenditnre, and certainly a change of Ministry }f the latter can be accomplished. S not. they hope at all events to bo strong «oooeh to contipl the Ministry to a large tttent. They have not yet any leader, nor have they anything definite, but the feeling against tfeo preeent con <HUoa of the House, and the way in which it 1a kept by the old party, in getting strong, and the result will probably neagrat disruption of party, and a deter mined effort to unite, for the purpose of {«dng the crisis through which the country v passing.

It is now known that the pro- Powl for the Select Committee will be wgatived, but by a email majority only, inongh the Government havo sUted that *M» & not a party question, it is being trc&ted &a one to all intents and purposes, and the whips have been particularly active. « w erpected that the debate will conclude Wto-ofght'a Bittings.

THlrf DAY

Patrick White deposed that he was a plate layer on tho railway and resided at Waiinauku. Y\ as a member of the Court Star of Helensville. His book contained an entry of 19s on the tilh December of last year. Paid the money to Rimmers, a fireman, to pay to Mr Holt. Kim mers returned the book receipted by the ac cused.

By Mr J. P. Campbell: Rimmers told witness this morning that he gave the money to Mr Holt.

Henry Ballans deposed that he succeeded Mr Holt as secretary of the lodge. Had not the slightest doubt as to the handwriting—it was Mr Holt's. The 20s Sd in Thomas Hunt's book was also in Mr Holt's handwriting, also 13s 6d in Arthur Biadley's book. He had examined the books, j'ound a number of irregularities. [Mr Campbdl objected to any vague state ment.l Mr Allen audited.

By Mr Campbell: The money did not pass through my hands. Did not know personally whether any of the sums were paid. He was not biassed. Was subprenaed by Mr Holt. A letter was read in Court from the accused, dated 21th July, oflering to explain any apparent dis crepancies. It was addressed to him (witness), as he had resigned the secretaryship, and Mr Newman was in that position. All members were solicited to send in their pence books for auditing. Many did not receive notices. Walter White wrote to the lodge about the matter. I)y Mr Cooper: The bank balance book shows a credit of Us B<l on 21st March. The balance sheei was made by defendant. The last deposit was entered on 28th January, He never sum moned defendant to attend'the Court and ex plain matters. Thomas William Allen deposed that he was a storeman. residing at View lioad, Mount Eden; he was an ofllcer—special auditor—to the Auck land Lodge of Foresters; had audited the books of the Helensville Lodge, examined the pence books nnd compared them with the entries in the ledger. Mr. Allen then gave an account of tilts sums entered in members' book, but which were not correspondingly entered in the secre tary's cash heck, and which sums had not been received by the society. By Mr. Campbell: Could not say from memory how many Bradleys were members; knew thero were three or four.

Henry Thomas Garratt, secretary of the Auckland District of Foresters, duly registered, deposed that the society has a branch at Helens ville, which is under the control of the head district; knew Mr. Holt who was secretary of the Hclenaville branch; received his resignation on the 23rd May ; had visited the court official in conscquonce oC defendant's negligence and incorrect balance sheets; Mr. Allen was in structed to Midit the accounts; oppor tunities were given to Mr. Holt to clear up the deficiencies, but he neglected to do bo ; went personally to see Mm, but he kept out of his way. These proceedings wero instituted by the direction of the parent society, in harmony with the locaj branch. Every confidence was placed in the accused; on a fornier occasion Mr. Holt was deficient, but hjs friends made it up; the matter was overlooked anil his services retained. The accused was summoned to the court, but he failed to attend and sent n note instead.

By the Bench : The Executive went up to hear defendant's explanation and roporttothc members, bu: could not meet defendant who appeared purposely to keep out oi the way. Dirt not sea him again until ho was in custody. This w^s the evidence for the prosecution, Mr Campbell tnen addressed the Bench in defence, endeavouring to bliow that the evidence was incomplete, and not sufficiently satisfactory to commit the prisoner on charges of embezzle ment.

The depositions woro read over, and prisoner, whoresarved Ms clefenco, was fully committed on all the charges. Prisoner was a'lnwed bai, himself in £100. and two sureties in £60 each.

Houk of Meeting.—Mr Runciman moved, and MrXeale seconded, that the hour of meet ins: be at G. 30 o'clock on Tuesday evenings in in St. James's Hall, Wellington-street. An amendment was also proposed by Rev, Mr Maekay, that no change be made in the hour of meeting. Mr R. Somorvillo moved, and Mr Norrie seconded, as a further amendment, that Revs. Runeiman, Maekay, Munro, Macnieol, ;tn<l Sommerville, and Messrs Batger, Buchanan ajid flarton be a committee toconsiderthequos tions invfilv.ed in Mr.Runciman'smotion, and report to next meeting. Mr Runciman with drew the motion in favour of the amendment proposed by Mr Sommerville. Mr Maekay rlso withdrew his amendment. Tho motion of Mr Sommerville was unanimously adopted.

The Trouble with the Howick Ciiup.cn.— Thi3 matter was discussed at length, and it was ultimately resolved that Messrs Sommervlllo, jfunro, Macnieol, Runciman, and Kraser bo appointed a committee to consider the whole matter, with power to act. Accounts.—Mr Munro handed in a credit balance of £(i ltSs Wd from the conferences and Sunday School meeting In St. James's Hall. Travelling Expenses.—lt was agreed that the travelling expenses of Commissioners from the Presbytery be paid from tho funds of the Presbytery. The Hamilton Church.—Letters were read from the above church, asking for moderation with regard to a call and help in the finance from the Presbytery. After some discussion, it was resolved ttiat Messrs. Kvansand Runciman be appointed a commission to moderate in the Ojjll, The question of a grant was deferred until the commissioners had reported.

Convener ok Sunday School Committee.— Mr Sommerville was elected to fill this vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr Munro. St. Peter's Church.—On the motion of Mr Sommerville, the committee of the Presbytery appointed to secure a site to build a church nnd form a new congregation at Surrey Hills was discharged, and the thanks of the Presbytery accorded them for their service.

Mr Munro: "That elections for tho General Assembly be in future taken as the names stand on tho roll." Lewe of Absence.—On tho application of tho Roy. Mr Nome, leave of abseneo was granted to his son from his evangelistic work at Helensville.

This was all the business.

Dd.vedin, this day.—Judge Williams has refused the application for a chango of venuo in tho case of Anderson v. Strode. Tho market is somewhat quiet. Cain bria'a are quoted at 13s 9d to 14s; 100 pounds specimens reported from another part of the mine. Dorwjnan Ivanhoe and sales are reported at 8s 6d to 9s, with sellers, 9s. Karangahake Btocks are quiet, but a very good feeling prevails ior the future of that district. Colonial Banks are asked for at 41s; sellers very scarce.

A gymnasium and reading-room for lads engaged in the fishing business have been completed behind tho Sailors' Rest. Various amusements have been provided, and the new institution should provo a great boon for thoso who are to be favoured with its free use.

A Wise Deacon.—"Deacon Wilder, I want you to toll mo how you kept yourself and family bo well the paßt season, when all the rest oj us have been sick so much, and have had tho doo tors running to us so often." "Brother Taylor, the answer is .very ensy. I used Hop Bitters In time, and kept my family woll, and saved largo doctor's bills. Four shillings' worth of it kept ua all well and able to work all the time, and I will warrant it has cost you and moat of the neighbours £10 to EIOB apieco to keep sick lie same timo. I fancy yoVll take my medloiM Nrnaftar. Run.

AN ATHLETE'S PANACEA.

Cricketing casualties.

Damages Promptly Repaired.

Doubtless it is a fortunate circumstance (writes the special correspondent of the " London Sportsman") for both the physical and mental welfare of the rising generation of this and other countries that the number of thoso good, charitable, though some ifhat timid old soula who regard ath letic exercises with extreme disfavour on account of their being sometimes attended with accidents, is growing small by degrees and beautifully less. It is happily come to be pretty generally recognised that a sound mind can scarcely bo enjoyed without the existenco of a thoroughly healthy and vigorous condition of tho corporeal facul ties ; that manly exercises, whilst develop ing and strengthening the eystom, afford diversion to the brain and allow of its re cuperation after any undue strain imposed upon it. Equally truo is it that in any pursuits calling for a display of muscular strength, fleotness of foot, stamina, or phy sical skill, casualties will now nnd again occur, bo tho rules over so fair and honour able, and the courtesy exhibited on either side of the most pronounced description. Moreover, it should he recollected that thero are sports and sports. Those who have a penchant for sword exerciso, for instance, need not necessarily copy the exnirp'e pf certain younjr gontlemon alluded to bj Maik Twain, -who were net nappy unless they n-ero three-parts envolopod in diachylon plaster, and had incurred sundry slices and gashes of the face, the marks of nhicli they would carry to the grave. Neither need football players yearn after that variety of the game in which "hack ing" is permissible, and launch out with their feet as though they were under con tract to furnish a supply of cripples both for home uso and exportation. There is reason in all branches of recreation, but, as pro vioutly remarked, still accidents will happsn, and it necessarily bohoves athletes to ascertain the best remedies for any little mishaps they may encounter.

That untoward eyents occasionally attend the deservedly popular game of cricket most people mutt bo well awaro. Thoso who saw Mr Blackham, the Australian, indulge in an impromptu pas seul at Lord's on a cricket ball and his knuckles becoming intimately acquainted, would not for a moment bo under tje impression that his gymnastic display was a mere ebullition of dlayful light heartedness. The truth is he had stopped one of Ulyett's lightning deliveries with the back of his bare hand, and he is by iio means anxious to repeat the experiment. I have had tho curiosity to en deavour to ascertain how the Australians have continued day after day to put in an appear ance at tho wickets in such grand form and to display such untiring energy. Of course, thoy, like pther dovotoea of the gamo, are subject to tho ill effects of bruises, to sprains of a more or less severe character, and to that stiffness of the muscles and joints which so often results from extra bodily exertion,

MR G. ALEXANDER,

who, in addition to managing tho business affairs of the team, eeems to have under taken in some reapscts tho functions of medical advisor, most cheerfully accorded every information. In a manner his con frdrea have met with a fair share of disaster during their trip. No fewer than four or five have at one time or another been placed temporarily hors dc combat whilst others euffereii from minor atllictions which they could not afford the time to humour, and which, therefore, had to be borne with the best possible grace under tho circumstances. At home, he obaorvod, they had at hand a peculiarly eimplo, wonderfully efficacious, and, at tho eamo tiino, remarkably inexpen sive remedy for sprains, soreness, stillness of the joints, contusions and tho like. Ho had, however, run out of the comparatively limited etock he had brought with him, and on making an inquiry no had learned to his chagrin that he could not obtain the preparation in England. This had caused some consternation amongst "the boys," and several who wore slightly affected had doclined to try any other remedy. Questioned as to this compound, he remarked that it was St. Jacobls Oil, the potency of which in the removal of pain they had experienaed many a time and oft. A curious thing about this oil was the ex treme rapidity with which it performed its good offices. "Didn't go fooling about and wasting time, but gets to business at once," I suggested, and a hearty acquiescence was given. To his delight Mr Alexander was soon put in possession of the information that the oil had been introduced to tho British public, and he wasted no time in obtaining a stock. I havo sinco scon a letter from him, in which he announces that he carries a supply of St. Jacob 8 Oil with him for u&a in any emergency, and intends to continue to do so.

MR H. F. BOYLE

(of the celebrated Victorian Athletic Mater ial Depflt, Boyle and Scott, Melbourne) was equally ready to bear testimony to the vir tues of tho preparation. He bad personal experience of its value, and certainly looked upon it as almost a necessary item of hie cricketing outfit. Moreover, he knew many athletes in Australia who were equally as ardont admirers of the Oil as he was, and ho told how the medicament had become quite famcua throughout the antipodean colony. It was rapid in its action, gave speedy relief from pain, and its effects were not evanos cont, but permanent. Pcrhapn, it was in timated, no one knew its beneficial pro perties better than MR BLACKHAM, who had taken an undue proportion of the knocking about that had fallen to the share of the team. Ho had been bruised and battered at short intervals, but went through the ordeal most manfully, and quickly resumed his duties with no diminution of ardour. That crack on the knuckles he incurred in London had called for the broaching of a " bottle," not of spirituous liquors, but of St, Jacob's Oil, co that the punishment unwittingly ad ministered by Ulyett would speedily be for gotten. Then, again, there was MR SPOFFORTH, who received a terrible blow whilst taking part in a match in London. The bruise ho had to exhibit was of ghastly proportions, but it gradually disappeared, whilstitepaio succumbed to the all powerful specific. Itv short, better testimonials as to the real vir tues of the Oil could not possibly be ob tained than those voluntarily and cheer fully accorded by the Australian cricketers, who pin their faith on that which has proved trustworthy in an infinitude of trials. From a Canadian gentleman, a prorrinent amateur oarsman, I learn that

EDWARD HANLAN,

Che late aquatic Champion of the World, ranks amongst one of the patrons of this preparation. He has found it beneficial in such slight attacks of rheumatism ac havo fallen to hie lot, whilst he uses it whenever he suffers from stiffness or from slight sprains. Hanlan, it is well known, has no great affection for compounds of any description, but he is not so foolish as to neglect affections of the muscles and joints, lest the weak spot should become more troublesome still. Similar views are enter tained by WALLACE ROSS, whose Iron frame is just as subject to tem porary affections as those of much more Bliehtly-built people. He has declared that the St. Jacobs Oil is a wonderful agent, ' and has joined in its praise. Sufficient has doubtless been said to prove that this preparation has fairly established its reputation as a remedial application in a ereat variety of cases. The testimony of ! the celebrated athletes I cave named is I .necially valuable, inasmuch as they have ™hiected the Oil to as severe tests us could betaagtaed. That it will speedily attain «eat and universal notoriety in the British T>les is beyond all question, and the more itis used the more epon'aneously forth coming will be the graten.l tributes to its" jS worth and iU m,x^!..., a power.
