URENUI.

[prom our own correspondent.] July 20. — News of every sort is scarce here. Our dusky friends are wending their way back from Parihaka, where they have been for two months. So you have got another lot of native prisoners in your gaol. I am afraid their brethren down South will not get out in a hurry. I suppose the Hon. Mr. Scotland will say it is a sin to put the noble savage in gaol. He would call it another slep towards creating a native war, which he seems to think the Taranaki settlers wish. Was he here in 18(50 ? Does he recollect the murderous acts of the Taranaki and Ngatiranui tribes at that time, when they butchered inoffensive boys and men 1 What had those tribes to do with the Waitara war? Nothing at all. Does he think it was pleasure for the settlers to see their homesteads burnt before their eyes, and their wives and families sent to Nelson for safety, and the Town of New Plymouth entrenched ? I do not think the honorable gentleman was here ; if so, did he take an active part in the war ? What is he sent to the Upper House for 1 surely not to abuse the settlers who live in the place that he calls his home (?). Why do not you in New Plymouth hold a public meeting and petition the Governor to remove such a useless member from the House ? The contract is taken for repairing the Onairo Bridge, on the inland road, to Tikorangi, and work has commenced. I wish I could say as much for the new Urenui Bridge. • Verily it is a long time since the Government granted the money for it, but perhaps in the j turmoil of Parliamentary business we might wait for some months before the tenders are called for. The natives are not cropping much clown here this season. What with a number of their men in gaol, and those left always running to Parihaka to hear the prophet, not much work is done ; in fact, there will be no settled state of things as long as Te Whitiism is in existence.

Throat affections and Hoarseness. — All suffering from irritation of the throat and hoarseness will be agreeably surprised at the almost immediate relief afforded by the use of " Brown's Bronchial Troches." These famous " lozenges " are now sold by most respectable chemists in this country at Is. Hd. per tfox. People troubled with a "hackiug cough," a "slight cold," or bronchial affections, cannot try them too soon, as similar troubles, if allowed to progress, result in serious Pulmonary and Asthmatic affections. See that the words ♦■ Brown's Bronchial Troches " are on the Government stamp around each box. — Manufactured by John I. Brown & Sons, Boston, United States. Depot, 493, Osford-btreet, L»adou
