The B.s. Gairlooh crossed the Maaakau bar at 10.30 a.m. to-djy, she is due ia Waitara to-night at lOo'clook. Mr D. M. Luokie, Commissioner of the Government Insurance Department, is seriously indißposea. Aocording to papers read at the Borough Coancil meeting on Monday night, Captain I Bayley has resigned the command of the Fir<j Brigade. Dr Hutohinson, of Ngatimaru, will deliver a lecture (to men only) on athletics and physical developament in the Alexandra Hall supper room to-night (Tuesday). There will be a large attendance, judging by the interest that is being manifested in the subject. Another large failure has ocourred, ia which the Back of New Zealand are largely concerned. Mr T. Horton, trading under the name of Fell Bros, and Co., I general merchants, at Blenheim, filed a petition in bankruptoy on Monday. It is | stated that tbe oaly creditor is the Bank i of New Zealand, to the tans of olose upon £10,000. On the night of the State Ball at Buckingham Palace, the Shah's attendants notioed that the " Centre of the Universe" had lost ,a diamond as big as a cob-nut from his shoulder-belt. Distracted beyond measure, the domestics instituted a throrough search for the jewel, but fruit- > lesssly. When the Shaft woke ia the morning he would have to be told, and then a high old time they'd all eajoy. Fortunately, just before early breakfast an English laokey eßpied the missing stone, aad brought it to the chief of the Persian yaleta. "There," said he to the overjoyed servitor, "ib your Governor's big diamond. And you may tell him for me as its preoious lucky for him none of the guests last night found it." "Bough on Rats" supplies a "wunt long felt." To people suffering from a suicidal mania this specific is invaluuble and its efficacy is touched for in every issue of the daily press. One dose is all that is required to cure " tbe heart ache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to," and ia tbiß respect it is certainly superior to any other quack medicine that has made a fortune tor its owners. The quickneea oi its action places it far before oolonial bfaer. publio houße rum, diseased meat aad the marvellous smells, of Melbourne. These poiaona may be sure ; but they are very slow ; whereas " rough on rats " is as speedy in its effect as the holiday gun that tho poor town boy isalwayß making game ot himself with. A change in its name however should be made. The success that this universal remedy has met with should oauie it to bt> kuown aj "Rough oo JLu&itici," 4 *
