Latest cablegrams report that the Journal cle St. Petersburgh, a semi-official organ of the Russian Government, states that the movements of the Russians in Zulfikar Pass are of an unimportant character ; yet it is reported that Russia claims what practically amounts to the command of the Zulfikar Pass, and offers to refer the matter to the Afghan Frontier ■Commission. The English Afghan Boundary Commission has encamped some seventeen miles northward of Herat. Lord Randolph Churchill, the only opposed member of the present English Ministry, met with pretty vigorous opposition to his re-election for Woodstock*. He, however, polled a very respectable majority, for Woodstock is not a very extensive constituency. It only has 10S4 electors, so that a majority of 137 was rather flattering than otherwise. Mr Sheehan, the wife of the man accused of the Castletown-roche murders, left Auckland with the object of joining the Aorangi at Lyttelton. Her children accompany her home. The Aorangi left Lyttelton for London on the Bth inst.

The election of Mr Joseph Ivess, as as M.H.R. for Wakanui, is gazetted. Cable advices state that 1575 tons of tea from China are en route for New Zealand. Assuming all this is consumed here, the duty receivable will be £58,800. Had Sir Julius Vogel carried his proposal for 6d per lb. duty, the amount would have been half as much again. The West Coast Times reports that one of the projected boxing matches, that between Messrs Breeze and Sheedy, has fallen through, the latter declining to go on with the match, chiefly on account of want of condition. It is understood, however, that Matthews and O'Neil are to box at an early date. Maxwell, alias Theo. Cecile D'Auguier, the accused in the St. Louis murder, was brought up before H. G. Seth Smith, R.M., at the Police Court, Auckland, on the 3rd inst., upon the charge of murdering Charles Arthur Preller at St. Louis, United States, on April 5. The depositions taken before Judge Noonan, at the Court of Criminal Correction, St. Louis, were produced by detective Tracey. They were very lengthy, and occupied threequarters of an hour in reading. They related in detail the facts which had transpired, the chief points of which we have already printed. The accused was committed to Mount Eden for fourteen days to await a warrant from the Governor of the colony ordering his surrender to the United States Government. Detective Tuohy, who effected Maxwell's arrest upon his arrival at Auckland, in the mail steamer, will accompany Detectives O'Neil and Tracey to St. Louis, when they take the accused to the United States. Messrs Courtney Smith and Co., auctioneers, will sell by public auction, at Dillman's Town, on Thursday next, the buildings and property of Mr Carl Tortt, who has removed to Brunnerton. Full particulars are given in the advertisement, which appears in another column.

Wicked for Clebgymen—"l believe it to be all wrong and even wicked for clergymen or other public men to be led into giving testimonials to quack doctors or vile stuffs called medicines, but when a really meritorious article is made up of common valuable remedies known to all, and that all physicians use and trust in daily, we should freely commend it. I therefore cheerfully and heartily commend Hop Bitters for the good they have done me and my friends, firmly believing they have no equal for family use. I will not be without them."—Rev. —, Washington, D. C. U. S. A. The Greatest Blessing.—A simple, pure, harmless remedy that cures every time, and prevents disease by keeping the blood pure, stomach regular, kidneys and liver active, is the greatest blessing ever conferred upon man. Hop Bitters is that remedy, and the American Co., the genuine manufacturers, are being blessed by thousands who have been cured by it. Try it, See. " '
