Naturalised. —Lett.ra of naturalisation have been issued to the well-known eye physician, Dr Schwarzbach. Sporting. —ln the race between Mr Cockle’s Lady Helen ana Mr I. Thompson’s Steel Dust, which was run at Wakanui this morning, was won by the latter, who beat Lady Helen by a length. Crickh.—A match was played to-day between an Eleven of Ashburton v. a team from Tinwald. The former went in first and put together 177 before the last wicket fell. L. F. A idrews was highest scorer with 46, and Crocker and G. Andrews each made 34. The match had not been concluded when we went to press. Harbor Dues. The Bluff Harbor Board, which two years ago reduced port dues and wharf rates, finding that the proceeding does not increase the trade of the port, have resolved to charge one halfpenny per ton register per day on all steamers using the wharf, and all sailing vessels over fifty tons one halfpenny per ton per week. A rate of one penny per bag will be charged for grain ; one shilling per ton for coal. Wool remains at sixpence per fcale. The Board’s expenditure is L 1,750 per annum over their income, and their loss by reducing the dues has been L 2,258 in two years. Rumored Ministerial Changes. —The Wellington correspondent of the Auckland Herald says :—A rumor is current that Mr Conolly will shortly become Postmaster-General and Commissioner of Telegraphs, relieving Mr Dick of those portfolios. I find on inquiry that this report, which originated in Marlborough, where Mr Conolly is spending the Christmas holi* dayr, is rather premature. At any rate, the fact seems to be that Mr Conolly finds the duties of the Justice department sit rather lightly on his shoulders, and is known > to be quite willing to take over some more werk, if desired, while, on the other hand, Mr Dick is somewhat "overweighted with the Postal and Telegaph departments, in addition to that of Education and the Colonial Secretaryship, which latter was formerly considered ample for one. I believe he would be quite willing to hand over the Post-office and Telegraph to Mr Conolly, and it is not improbable that tome such arrangement may ultimately be made ; but at present it has not been even hinted at in the Cabinet, or talked over among Ministers, and in any case nothing wi 1 be done until the Premier’s return, or probably until the new Governor has been sworn in. Holloway s Ointment and Pills.— Diseases of the Bowels.—A remedy, which has been tested and proved in a thousand different ways, capable of eradiating poisonous taints from ulcers and healing them up, merits a trial of its capacity for extracting the internal corruptions from the bowels. On rubbing Holloway’s Ointment repeatedly on the abdomen a rash appears, and as it thickens the alvine irritability subsides. Acting as a derivative, this unguent draws to the surface, releases the tender intestines from all acrid matters, and prevents inflammation, dysentery, and piles, for which blistering was the oldfashioned, though successful treatment, now from its painfulness fallen into disuse, the discovery of this Ointment having proclaimed a remedy possessing equally derivative , yet. perfectly painless powers. —[Advt.]
