Holloway’s Ointment and Pills.—Bodily infirmities. —The alternating frosts, and thaws, keen winds, and foggy atmospheres would try an iron constitution. These vicissitudes are on all sides producing coughs, colds, influenza, ulcerated throat, asthma and rheumatism. For the relief and cure of this catalogue of complaints, Holloway’s Ointment should be sedulously rubbed upon the skin as near the affected organ as possible, and his Pills should bo simultaneously taken internally. The Ointment penetrates and soothes all affections of the throat and chest, and is especially serviceable in rheumatic diseases. In tic-doloreux, neuralgia, sciatica, lumbago, aud all muscular pains, Holloway’s Ointment and Pills have established for themselves a wold-wide reputation. These remedies render respiration easy in the worst weather. (Adrt.)

The Championship oe the Ring. —Public curiosity and excitement in the forthcoming contest between Mace and King has greatly increased within the last few days, since it has become known that the men are paying such scrupulous attention to their preparations. Nat Langham, King’s mentor, speaks confidently of a “ fast fight,” which would indicate that Tom’s tactics will will be to “ make running.” Jem Mace is in superb condition, aud fancies himself “ quite as much as in any of his recent successful engagements.” It is expected that the event will be decided on January 28. According to some of the American journals, Mace will shortly receive' a challenge from another Yankee, offering to fight him wherever ho likes, after a period of three months.

GOVERNOR BROWNE AND THE NATIVE KING. We find in a recent number of the Times a letter from Professor Browne, of Cambridge, on these subjects. It is clearly the object of the King natives to acknowledge no other sovereign in their territory but their own King. The letter is written in opposition to the views advanced in the Times, that the King movement originated and was sustained by the desire of the Maories for law and order. The Professor observes : “ About the time of Wiremu Kingi’s resistance to the sale of land at Waitara old Potatau died, and the King-maker set up a young King of a far more turbulent spirit than his predecessor. W. Kingi’s quarrel had originally no connexion with the King movement; but Wm. Thompson at the Waikato at once made common cause with him, for the Maori flag was immcdiataly sent to him, many Waikato chiefs joined his party and fought for him, and when he found himself beaten, and some of his adherents leaving him, he fell back upon the Waikatos, and threw himself into the Maori King party. The Land League and the King movement are tints thoroughly indentified. What the object of the King movement is at present William Thompson’s own words clearly show. He speaks of the works of his ancestors as having ceased, themselves as diminishing, their blood as ceasing to flow ; and then ho adds that he ‘ docs not desire to cast the Queen from the island, but only from his own territory that is to say, the Queen is to be Queen of the portion of New Zealand acquired by the Europeans, but the Native King is to rule over the Maories and that portion of the island still possessed by them. “Now, sir, I ask, whether the Governor’s conduct has not been consistent and judicious in opposing from the first the King movement, but much more decidedly now, when it is shown to bo inconsistent with the Queen’s supremacy, and when it has, in fact, broken out into open rebellion ? “ It would have been very doubtful policy to put it down by force of arms at first, when it had not assumed a distinctly treasonable form, when the old King made his royalty but a plaything, and was personally well-disposed to British supremacy. But now it is in new hands, and has assumed a new aspect, and it would be madness to treat it with indifference.”

Ax Incident of Civil War.— The Lynchburgh Republican publishes the following incident, remarkable alike for its singularity as well as for its melancholy fulfilment to the brother of one of the parties concerned :—“Just before the war broke out, and before Lincoln’s proclamation was issued a young Virginian, named Summerfield, was visiting the city of New York, where he made the acquaintance of two Misses Holmes, of Waterbury, Vermont. He became somewhat intimate with the young ladies, and the intercourse seemed to bo mutually agreeable. The proclamation was issued, and the whole North thrown into a blaze of excitement. On visiting the ladies one evening, at the hour of parting they remarked to Summerfield that their present meeting would probably be the last; they must hurry homo to aid in making up the overcoats and clothing for the volunfrom their town. Summerfield expressed his regret that they must leave, but at the same time especially requested them to see that the overcoats were well made, as it was his intention, if he ever met the Vermont Regiment in battle to kill one of them and take his coat. Now for the sequel. Virginia succeeded. The 2d Vermont Regiment, a portion of which was from the town of Waterbury, was sent to Virginia. The battle of the Manases was fought, in which they were engaged, and so was Summerfield. During the battle Summerfield marked his man, not knowing to what State he belonged ; the fatal ball was sped on its errand of death ; the victim fell at the flash of the gun, and, upon rushing up to secure the dead man’s arms, Summerfield abserved that he had a finenew overcoat strapped to his back, which he determined to appropriate to his own use. The fight was over, and Summerfield had time to examine his prize, when, remarkable as it may appear, the coat was marked with the name of Thomas Holmes, and in the pockets were found letters signed with the names of the sisters whom Summerfield had known in New York, and to whom ho had made the remark we have quoted, in which the dead man was addressed as brother. The evidence was conclusive —he had killed the brother of his friends and the remark which he had made in jest had a melancholy fulfilment. We are assured this narrative is literally true. Summerfield now wears the coat, and, our informant states, is not a little impressed with the singularity of the coincidence.”
