THE WANGANUI CHRONICLE AND RANGITIKEI MESSENGER. “Véritè sans peur.” Wanganui, November 1, 1860.

By the Traveller’s Bride we have intelligence from Auckland to the 16th ult. The Governor will not produce the despatch in which was enclosed the “ blood for blood ” .extract from the Examiner , on the ground that he objects generally to, submit private despatches to the house. In reply to a. question from Dr. Featherston, the Colonial Treasurer said, that several sums had been taken from the government chest without the Governor’s warrant.. The report-of the select committee on Distillation was negatived without a division. Mr. Fox’s resolutions as to the New, Zealand bill introduced into the house of Lords were referred to a select committee. The second reading of the Militia bill came on on the 11th October, when the

; bill wds'OppoSed in a long and able speech by Mr. Fox, who intimated;his intention toanove such amendments as would alter the nature of the bill. The debate was adjourned. It appears that the report mentioned in our last regarding the murder of a settler at Waiuku is incorrect. A native who had been out shooting cattle was found dead, and the natives hail attributed the murder to the Pakehas; but .there was reason for believing that a Maori had done the deed. It was thought that the affair would pass off without disturbance.. There is a native report here, that the Ngatiruanui had two :men iktlled and several wounded in,the, pas, at Kaihihi reported last /week/as having been taken by General Pratt. The taking of these three pas is better news for this month’s home majl than any that has gone since the affair at Waireka., Elsewhere will be. found a report of Dr. Featberstbn’s-, speech on - Finance, which. de-, servps/and jpilL repay . a careful ;perusal. It: is lucid and thoroughly intelligible even to thosepreviously unacquainted with the points lie

discusses. We had intended to make some

remarks on this excellent statement, but the ' space taken up jby the .English news; compels us tridefer them till next week. LOCAL. INTELLiaENCIL. Scenic Views.— An exhibition of views of public buildings in London, &e., is open at the Rutland Hotel.

; Omuhu District, E/jpper Eangitikei The first pile of a church, about to be erected by voluntary contributions in this t district, .on land given for that purpose by Mr. B. Smith, was laid on Monday, the 22nd October, by the Rev. P. Mason of . Tiirakina, after which addresses were delivered by that gentleman and by the Rev. Mr. Watkins of Wanganui. Inserted m the pile was a 1 sealed bottle, containing a copy -of-’the Wanganui Chronicle of the 18th October, and a parchment document, on which was a statement, read by the secretary Mr. H. Willcox, of the date of laying the pile, and of the names of the building committee, &c. Ere long we trust to chronicle the completion and opening of this building, the erection of which ■is highly creditable to the energy and right feeling of the. excellent settlers in that neighbourhood.

- Holloway?s Ointment and Pills.— Chest Affections —‘The unusally mild damp weather fearfully tells on the human frame, deteriorat ing the blood, and producing morbid results in its reservoir—the lungs—-Hence on all sides are we,. surrounded by - bronchitis, pleurisy, asthma, consumption; all'of which might be readily .cured >by Holloway's never-failing remedies, whose active principle purifies the blood, and causes all morbific matter speedily to be expelled from the body. With such means at hand, near health’s own fountain, will they groan and die? No! use and be saved! If the suffeiers be listless, let their friends and relatives urge a .trial of Holloway’s medicines, which work -. wonders, on every tissue, by substituting pure for impure blood, and giving nervous power. 6
