Australia —Slight depression to the south of Tasmania ; winds chiefly westerly ; showery m the South and overcast at other places. Barometers : New Zealand —At Russell, 30.0 j Wellington, 29.7; Bluff, 29.6. Australia—At Albany, 30.1; Hobart, 29.8 j Portland, 30.0 ; Sydney, 30.3. Tbials op the New Zealand Fabmeh. —During the hearing of a case m tho Wellington Compensation Court rocently, we learn from the Neio Zealand Times, his Honor Judge Bichmond incidentally remarked that tho New Zealand farmer had a good deal more to contend with now-a-dnys than formerly. "There are 70,000,000 of sheep m tho Argentine Republic," remnrked his Honor. " The latest returns show that there are nearly 100,000,000," said Mr Travers. " Then what is to become of us," pathetically asked Mr Stafford, " with our small number of sheep, and our very large debt?" The Wbather at Waimate.—Our correspondent, writing yesterday, says:—The weather during nearly the whole of last month has been very dry, with frequent strong gales of wind, shifting from the nor'we?t to the sou-west, and vice versa. Vegetation, unless m sheltered situations, is backward for tho season, and the influence of the dry, cutting winds has had a retarding efft-ct on the growth of grass m the pasture lands, so much so that much loss has been experienced by farmers and graziers from deterioration m the condition of sheep and cattle. On the lighter class of lands many young lambs have died, the dams being unable to supply sufficient nourishment. The young wheat has made veiy little progress during the last month, no doubt owing to the long prevalence of dry weather. Rain is now very much needed throughout the County. Ratiibr Too DEAB.-At the Board of Education meeting yesterday a deputation requested that a caretaker's house should be erected on a certain school ground, and among tho chief reasons urged for this course was one to tho effect that it had proved quite impossible to keep a ton of coal from disappearing through some unseen and undetected agency. One practical member of the Board expressed surprises that among so many able men on tho School Committee not ono could be found to devise some means of fastening the coal up so that it would not vanish m other than the legitimate way, and added that it would bo rather a bad investment for the Board to spend £300 or £400 on a house for the purpose of keeping safe a ton of coala ! The deputation, it is almost needless to add, did not join m the hilarity that followed thia remark; probably the problem was too complex for them. liAßßlinaatt.—The much-vexed question of larrikiniem cropped up at the Board of Education meeting yesterday morning, m the course of a discussion on tho Timaru Side School. It is stated this school has been damaged very considerably lately, not only windows being smashed, but sash-bars as vroll, and that this damago is done by larrikins some time during tho night or m the early morning. It was suggested that tho Inspector of Police should be requested to try tho experiment of placing a constable on duty at tho school, but this suggestion was entirely forgotten when a member remarked —"employ a man and givo him so much a head for every larrikin he catches and severely birches." A few seconds of profound thought, however, convinced tho Bonrd that this course would not do ; two might play at this gamo, and funds would not then stand tho drain on them. The Side School larrikin, nevertheless, had better—as tho vulgar saying is — " keep his eye lifting" next time ha has occasion to visit the school-house on his mission of destruction. Captaw Suttbb Immortalised.—Proso has been inadequate to express the feelings of tho West Coasters m regard to Captain Butter's parliamentary criticism of their proclivities. At the Hokitika Benevolent Socioty's entertainment on tho evening of September 26th a poetical address was read, m which occurred tho following lines : — You've read, of course, tho nonsense and the spluttor Of that queer legislator—Captain Suiter, Who says it is our destiny and fate To bo all beggf.rs —paupers of the State, And ends a long and wondrous wild oration By coupling " Goldßelds" with the word " starvation j" But let him pass, and trust our name and honor To Richard John, to Bovan, and to Bonar. These tbroo are ablo, without any flutter, To settle our dofamor —Captain Sutler, Whose name I mention merely this to say That should ho cvor trust himself this way Hoil find all his strange notions aro mistnkon And to tho truth ho'll suddenly awaken. That truth is this: that on the wild West Coast Tho people are as well-to-do as most j Not very rich, perhaps, and yet not poor. At every houso he'll flnd an opon door j Ho'll find a people generous and kind, To frailties lenient and to failings blind, And over ready, wheresoo'er they be, To answer to tho call of Charity. Tbachebs Salaries.—The Committee appointed by the Board of Education to deal with the Board's etaff and tho salaries givon them, handed m their report at tho meeting yostorday. Tho report is a very valuable ono. It will be printed and distributed among tho teachers as soon as possible, and it is fixed that tho now soale of salaries will come into force on Januiry let, 1866.

Voluntbbbikg. — The dates of the Govern- 1 p Dent parades of tho Timaru corps for s October will be found iv our advertising n :olumns. c Important Sales.— Messrs Jonas and 0 Bourn draw special attention to their stock o iale at Pleasint Point on Monday, and to v ;heir sale of the thoroughbred entire Holly- a ivood to-morrow. '1 Bequest to the Wesletan Cnußcn. — rho late Mr Thomas Enisloy, of Burnlee, Leeds, has bequeathed £3> 00 to tlie Wesleyan Dhureh of >cw Zealand. This makes considerably over £20,000 bestowed by him an different missionary or benevolent undertakings. Thompson's Diobama. — Thompson's Diorama of the Zulu War wos exhibited a second time at the Theatre Royal last night. The lower part of the houso was well filled, but upstairs the attendance was limited. No doubt the moderate attendance was owing to the very inclement state of tho weather, i. here will ho a complete change of programme this evening. Foua CniLDRKx at a Bibth.— Three Te " a "8° a family of the name of Barnett lett Coupar-Angus for a homo m the Far West, where t> ey settled on a farm near Waverley, Dakota. Information has just reached their friends m Scotland that Mrs Eiarnett on the 3rd of July, gave birth to four children-two boys and two girlsand that the interesting Grangers and their mother are all thriving amazingly. Patti DivoBCED.-MartamePattihas been duly divorced from the Marquis do Caux at h f'on ' he cereI "onv, which took made, anil it so happened that the divorced marquis had imela.d or forgotten hi a purse, when, with great grace, Madame Patti stepped forward and offered her last 20-frano piece. Subsequently a dinner was served for the mtnem,, V c lawyer, the lady heroine, 24). By the law of France a divorced lady must wait ten months before she can ro"Ma7imh. t l 1 ' S O 8 6r ddingCannOt > A ™ m A Boy's Fsbak -a boy named Ed K e not more than ten years of age, was ordered to receive ten strokes with a buvh rod at Chester recently for an extraordinary freuk Seeing a train approaching, the boy ran off the embankment to B top it. He stood directly m tho centre of the track, wildly moving liis .n»!, and taking absolutely nb notice of the whistle. When close v; on him the driver applied the vacuum brake and brought the train to a standstill, when only eight yards off. Tho hd tben ran away, laughing m response to a lump of coal which tho driver was compelled to pitch at him. Lady Cricketeus.— Cricket for girls seems to have taken a firm hold m England. By the mail we read news of a recent mi l chin which " Miss Leslie spanked Mias Hibbert hard for 2." " Leg before wicket," we are told, is not acknowledged. It is called " frock before wicket," and its consequences are speedily dealt with by the umpire. A curious cricket match was played at Bayham Abbey between eleven ladies nnd eleven gentlemen, who plied broomsticks m place of bats. The ladies were victorious by 12 runs. Among them the Marchioness of Cumden, the Indies Rose, Violet, and Idina Neville, and Lady Clementina Pratt particularly distinguished themselves. Wuat is A "Plaid"?— The English tourist m Scotland (says an exchange) dons the plaid as soon as ho arrives there. By the word " plaid" an Englishman understands a checkered kind of cloth. He speaks of a lady wearing a " plaid shawl," a " plaid drc?s," eto. The word i 3 never u*ed m Scotland except as descriptive of a particular articlo of dress, a kind of long mantle, of rectangular cut, and fringed at tho two narrow ends. This, indeed, is generally composed of checkered cloth, but a Scotchman would no moro call the cloth " plaid" than ho would speak of leather aa " boot." He would call it " tartan" if it be the well-known Highland cloth of divers colors ; if not, he gives it no special name. This Latb Lunab KcLirsß. — A peculiar feature of the late eclipse of the moon, noticed m oar columns at the time, is thus commented on by an astronomical correspondent! of the New Zealand Times :—" The eclipse of Thursday confirms the evidence given by the last total eclipse of the moon. In any large eclipse the durk part of tho moon shines with a dull red light. On Thursday night there was only a grey neutral light upon the dark body of the moon, which, at the contre of the eclipse, scarcely allowed the whole moon to be seen. The moon entering the earth's shadow is usually still illuminated by the sun's light bent round by the earth's atmosphere, and is reddened. In the total eclipse one small portion of the moon only was visible, as a dull red spot m the sky ; but then, as on Thursdny night, all else wa6 d.irk, and scarcely visible m the telescope. No other reason can be given for this than that tho new matter m the sky, which causod the brilliant sunset glows, Mill remains, and that this cut off much of the usual amount of light. It is noticeable that Venus, tho brig'it evening star, shines, not with its usual yellowish light, but with the bluish light of Jupiter, Uhis matter m our atmosphere was p'ainly shown m the large halo around the sun at the last eclipse as totality drew nciir." An KxcosistruicATiON Case.— The action of the Rev. tbker Adams, rector of Saham Toney, Norfolk, m pronouncing sentence of excommunication on n farmer named Payne, has (we learn from tho East Devon JTei-ald) produced a great sensu'ion throughout Norfolk. It is stated that ." ayne was not m tho habit of attending the church, and had refused the clergyman admittance to his house. On receiving a letter threatening his excommunication, Payne did not understand tho term, and thinking it meant some new process of recovering debt, he sent word back to the rectory asking if by any mistake any portion of last year's tithe rent hal been left unpaid. The rector then forwarded tho following letter :—" Sir, - Sly letter to you last Sunday wns not' written m consequence of any personal matter. You have, as you truly say. always paid me my dueß. I wrote to remind you that you had persistcnly neglected to" attend tho church services, nnd refused to receive her ministers, and that I should therefore feel it my painful duty to pronounce you cut off from tho church's communion and membership. The wish 1 expressed at the end of mv letter was quite sincere and regains unaltered sill. Yours, faithfully, 'Cokkr Adams " Tho wish referred to was coutained m the rector's first letter, where the reverend centlo man prayed God to chango Payne's heart, and save his soul for Jesus Christ's sake. The Bishop of Norwich has been appealed to m the matter. A Prdiqrbe Case.— Mr Justice Chittv, m London, gave judgment m the matter of Perton. deceased, m which tho Crown resisted tho claim to personalty of the decensed to the amount of £200,000. on the ground that the deceased was illegitimate. Three boys v-ere baptised at the parish church, Aston Birmingham, at the samo lime, and were registered as being the sons of John and Maria Clapperton, but tho youngest, George Pemberton Clnpperton, was m very enrly year? educated by a relative, and was afterwards si>nt to school by a manufacturing jeweller at Birmingham, named Thos. Pemberton. This man subsequently apprenticed him to the business, of which ho afterwards became mnnnger, and ultimately proprietor, nc retired from the business' in 1810, and died m 1881. It was generally recognised that ho was the natural son of Thomas Pemberton, and he entertained this belief himself, an* asserted his illegitimacy. He changed his name to Hint of Perton. Tho present claimant, Mrs Whitnler, set up her title to the £200,000 ns next of kin of Perton, »ho being a descendant nf ono of the thrcp boys supposed to bo brothers who wero baptised at ono and tho samo time at Aaton. She, tliorofoi-o, assorted Porton's legitimacy. The great point m the case was whether statements by a porson that ho was illegitimate wero admissible as evidence. His Lordship m a judgment of great length decided that G. Perton was illegitimate, and gave judgment against tho applicant's claim. The Forth Butdor. — This gigantio ongineoring undertaking is still being pushod, and is said to bo progressing satisfactorily. Though tho general nppoiiniui'o which tho bridge will present m pretty well known from published drawings, it may not bo inappropriate at present, to recall some of its more prominont features. Tho total length of the bridge from end to end it 2700 yards, the

)ortion between high-water mark on the two ides of the Firth boing (1900 jards. Begiuling at the Queensferry side, the bridge is •arried out 1780 feet on a series of nine piers if solid masonry, faced with Cyclopean block a if Aberdeen grey granite. Each of these piers vill be 130 feet m height above high water, md the span between them is 160 feet. L'he fourteenth pier from the shore is what ia iilled the cantilever tower, as upon it will est not only the end of the girders, but tho !nd of the shoreward arm of the south cantiever. This tower has, m consequence, been nude of great size -the basement or ci;tvater being 103 feet m length and 52 feet m hicknees. The crucial part of the scheme i« hat which carries the railway over the deep »ater of the Forth — the free navigation of rhe channel for tho largest ships having to be ioneeryed. 'Ibis is to be accomplished on *hnt is known as tho cantilever principle, tfhich, popularly speaking, means that 'rom three sots of granite piers, arranged m ;roups of four columns each— the central set it Inchgnrvie, und the others about 1800 feet m each side— a huge superstructure of steel will be reared supporting gigantic bracketike arms, two of which, with a separate ;irder m the centre, will form an apparent irch with a span of 1 700 feet, or about onehird of a mile, and with a height above highvater level of 150 (clear) feet. There will >c two such apans m the bridge, and two wlf-spans of 680 feet each, one thrown horeward to the cantilever tower on the South Queensfcrry side, already referred to, vhile the other will rest upon a correspondng tower on the opposite shore. Alleged Mutiny and Mubdbb on thb ligii Seas. — At the Liverpool Police Court ecently a German sailor named Carl ioskowsky was charged with causing the leitli of another sailor named Louis Dale, on joard tho British ship Paragon while on a •oyugc from Buenos Ayres to Valparaiso. It tppenred from the caso for the prosecution hut the seamer. on board that vessel were not slßcient, and the result wan that a good deal )f ill-feeling existed between them and the )flicew. A proposal was made by the msoner that the crew should rise and kill the jfTu-ers, and this appeared to meet with a certain amount of favor amongst some of tho •rew. On the 17th April last the deceased, who was the second mate on that vessel, wos on deck giving some orders, when the prisoner, approaching him from behind, struck him a fearful blow ou the head with an axe, at the ■™ c iime calling on the crow to coins and help him. The captain and tho boatswain, however, armed with revolvers, went towards the men aud cowed them into submission, and the prisoner was pnt m irons. Another man named Carlsen, when he saw the failure of the attempted mutiny, jumped overboard. Hie ship was at this time off Cape Horn, and a heavy B ea was running, so that no attempt could be made to rescue Carlsen, who was drowned Dale's skull was fractured by the blow ; but m spite of his injuries he lived for twelve days afterwards, dying on the 29th April. On the arrival of the vessel at Valparaiso the matter was reported to the Consul, and the prisoner was arrested and sent to Liverpool by mail steamer. He was now committed for trial on the charge of wilful murder. Ratß and " Perils op thb Bba."— At the Liverpool Assizes last month, before Mr Justice Lopes and a special jury, o case involving some interesting points' was heard it was an action brought by Messrs Pandroff and Co., importers, of London, againßt Mesßrs Hamilton, Fraser and Co., shipowners and managers of the Inch Line of steamers, to recover the Jsum of 1 £1008, compensation for damage to a cargo of rice shipped by the plaintiffs m one of the defendanU' vessels Hr Russell, Q.C., M.P., and Mr Walton were the plaintiffs, and Mr Bigham, Q. 0., and Mr Barnes for the defendants. The plaintiffs' case was that they shipped 30,272 bags of lice m the defendants' steamer Inchrhona, and it was found on delivery at London that sonio 6000 bags had been damaged by salt water. The water had got into the cargo through a lead bath pipe which had been partially eaten away by rats. The plaintiffs contended that the defendanU had not taken reasonable care m the carrying of thecargo, and that they were therefore entitled to damages. For the defence, it was contended that the rats which caused the damage constituted one of tlie " perils of the tea," for which, under the bills of lading, shipowners wero not liable. Evidence was called to prove that the rats were brought on board with the rice. Witnesses also spoke as to the prevalence of rats at rice port*, where, it was said, the lighters literally Bwarmed with them, and thut it was practically impossible to keep them out of the ships. The jury, m answer to His Lordship, gave it as their opinion that the rats that caused the damage were not brought on board with the cargo. His Lordship said that was a verdict for the plaintiffs. A Roman Catholic View of the Session.— The Tablet, although opposing the extension of the franchise to women, admits that the conferment of the franchise on ladies would not spoil the character of the Legislature. It proceeds to pass this vigorous condemnation of the helplessness —we had almost written moral cowardice —of the Assembly as at present constituted : — " Hon. members, as they have displayed themselves before us, have evidently, with very few exceptions, been returned by voters who took anything but a broad or patriotic view of the task they were engaged m j and it might seem that no woman, let her dependence or simplicity be what it might, ceuld have been more influenced m giving her vote iv the wrong direction, than were a grouty majority of the men who now exercise the electors' part. In fact, had our present Parliament m the past session, not only been elected by womon, but actually composed of them, it is to bo doubted if its members could have returned from Wellington with a more scandalous record of wasted time and worthless measures. Had our Ministry also, indeed been composed of lion, ladies — all of them, as one member of the Dunedin Union proposed with respect to the female voters, over thirty-five years of age— and possessed of all t lie qualities usually attributed to the old woman, it may be doubted as to whether they would have acquitted themselves less brilliantly ; although, perhaps, tho honorable sisterhood would have been found less accommodating m their nttidue towards tho House. And such is the Cabinet over which genius presides — and such arc the hopes of the country. No womanish interference could make the situation worse." 1 now me Natty got into Soitakim.— The following story is going the rounds of tho English Press :— Ono night a navvy marched into tho base hospital at Souakiin with the exclamation " Blowed it" I goes any furthor tonight;" and upon being questioned he stated that ho had been loft behind by tho train about soven miles from Soukim, and reSiilved to walk into camp rather than sleep alone m tho desert. He therefore found his way into the base hospital by keeping on tho railway tracks. Ho said : " I have bean fired at three times by sentries. When they said ' Who goes there ? ' I eaid ' Railway,' and blow me if tho sentry didn't fire. So I ran, and thought ' Railway ' wasn't right. Thcu I says I'll whistle ' Bi-to-ri-fol-lol ;' them sodgcra '11 surely know a British tuno whon they hears one, and so I whistled all the way m until I got here, and blowed if I budges from this placo until morning." Insulting an EiirBBOB,— A notice of the death of the once famous French baritone, Merly, appears m the theatrical columns of tho Parisian journals. Merly, who possessed every qualification necessary for success — a voice of tho finest quality, a faultless method, and a commanding pre«ence — was received with open arms nt the Opera, where a career of uncommon brilliancy seemed to be awaiting him. But Merly was a politician first and an artist after, and politics proved his ruin. Ono evening shortly after lie entered on his engagement at the Opera tho Emperor and Empress came to witness the performance. Tho piece was "Guillauiiia Tell," and everything went well till ilerly came to the famous phrase, " I/inrtt'pendonce on la mort!" Merly advanced as near as he could get to the Imperial box, and with eyes dashing fire he thundered out tho words at iU occupant*, shaking his fist m their direction at tho same time. The house whs stupefied. The Kniperor repaid tho insult with a contemptuous smile and a disdainful ebrug of the shoulders. Merly refused to mako the upologv which tho director insisted on next day ; and his connection with the opera, and with it the prospect of rising to tho very summit of his profession, came to an untimely end.

Death rsost thb Bits of a Cat.— Ac inquest was held m London a few weeks age upon John Tittcnson, aged 43, who had died from hydrophobia. It was stated that ir March a strange black cat entered tho house of the deceased, and bit his little daughter six years old. Hearing the child cry, de ceased went to her aid, when tho cat bit lira on the left thumb. The cat was killed am the wound cauterized, deceased not feeling il until last Friday. A verdict of death fron hydrophobia was returned. PROSECUTION OP A LONDON JOURNALIST — A London cable message to the New Tori papers throws some light on the cause of tfai prosecution of Mr Stead, of the Pall Mai Gazette : — " Efforts are being made to secur the return to her mother of a missing gir named Eliza Armstrong, who, it is claimed is illegally held by tho Salvation Armj Mrs Armstrong accuses General Booth the leader of the Salvation Army, of sond ing an agent to decoy her daughter frot home for the purpose* of making the girl spectacle as a minor saved from a life o wickedness ky the Salvation Army. Th girl, who is thirteen years old, has bee traced to tho home started by the Salvatio Army, and thence to the town of Loriol, ii Drome (France), where she again disap peared. General Booth refuses to surrende the girl, and her mother has applied to th Courts for assistance m recovering her child. A Universal Tongue.— After the lap» of countless centuries a very daring attemp has been made to correct the confusio caused by the Tower of Babel. A Russia philologist has seriously undertaken tho cor Btruction of a universal language. It i called " Volapuk," and consists of thirtee thousand words taken from many tonguei but chiefly from the Latin and Saxon, Englisl being more particularly laid under conlribu tion. The main object of this new vehicl for interchanging ideas is to facilitat business and allow commercial men ii all countries to readily understand eacl other. When the use of Volapuk has becom genera], all business transactions will be con ducted mit from London to Far Cathay ; i will be spoken on every Exchange m tin world; the traders of every race will adopt i m buying and selling. The only grammar am dictionary of this net.' medium at presen published is m German, but we are promisee speedy translations m English, French, am Italian. Many more will be wanted to intro duce the work properly, and even then it< ultimate success must be very doubtfull Still, m an age which lias popularised bicycle riding, the telephone, and the electric light we may get a single language for commercial use. LOBD LOHNB ASD THE OBJECTIONS TO HIS Casdidatube.— The Marquis of Lome, the Liberal candidate for the new borough of Hampstead, ad dressing' a numerously-attended public meeting of the electors, held at the Hollybusb Assembly Scorns, replied to objections which had been brought against him as a candidate. Lord Lome said that though he did not agree with his father m all things political, yet he felt proud of being the son of the author of "The Reign of Law," and ho also contended that it was not m accordance with the English constitution to suppose that a person who was related to the Sovereign should abstain from taking an active part m public matters. In answer to a third objection, he argued that the experience he had gained as Governor-General of Canada was a qualification for a Liberal candidate. He was not ashamed to say that his mind had been considerably influenced by what he had seen there as to free churches and free schools. There was an idea that those who had " handles" to their names could not be anything but Wbigs. The " handle" to his name happened to be a mere courtesy title ; but he reminded the meeting of the services rendered to political progress by the Whigs m the past, and said that he believed their modern representatives were very much what his friends called him — a somewhat advanced Liberal. He also appealed to the past record of his Parliamentary life to show tbat be had been a consistent Liberal of tbat school, and expressed himself m favor of the Disestablishment of the Church of Scotland, leaving the question of disendowment to be subsequently dealt with. He was m favor of making the sale of land as easy as the sale of an old umbrella ; and, as to Ireland, he approved of consultations with the leaders of tho nationalist party, with respect to which the Conservatives had been rapidly converted, but it was impossible to consent to separation. He thought that sufficient consideration had not been given to the wish of the Irish people m regard to education, and he believed that greater powers of local government might be given to them on roch questions as railways. After he had adverted to a cumber of other topics, and answered questions, a resolution m support of his candidature was almost unanimously passed. Scorrt Emulrion of Pure Cod Liver Oil with Hypophoaphites is especially adapted to all conditions where the tissues are wasting sway from inability to digest and assimilate ordinary food. The combined virtues of the Cod Liver Oil and Hypophosphites produce a marked effect m such cases.— They restore the wasted tusnea, create an appetite, make new blood, heal the inflammation of the throat and lungs and increase the flesh. In short they form the finest combined food and medicine that can be given the invalid.— [Advt.] 12 Axbbicas Co's Hop Bittbm are the Purest and Best Bitten erer made.
