Mr W. J. Suiter, who attempted to second a vote of thanks to and confidence in Sir Julius Togel when he addressed the people of Auckland lately, did not seem to find favour with the Aucklanders in so doing- The Herald reports :

Mr W. J. Suiter said he had within the last few minutes only been asked to second this resolution, and he did so with great pleasure, and his reason was this : they would all recollect that, a few years ago, when Sir Julius Vogel addressed a meeting in this city he was not so well received as to-night. To-night they had received him with enthusiasm.—[Laughter, and cries of "No."] That was very clear to him.—[lnterruption.] It was, he said, very clear to him that the feelings of the electors of Auckland were wanuin"' towards Sir Julius Vogel, and his feelings were warming towards Auckland.—[A voice : " The prodigal sou."—He knew a young man, a particular friend of his, who was wooing a young lady. —[Laughter.] But he discovered that she was in indigent circumstances, and lie grew cold. In a short time, however, he learnt that she had become rich, and lie danced round to get her favour, and now they were married.—[Hooting, laughter, and cries of "Sit down !"] —Mr Suiter attempted to continue his address, but had to retire. An amendment was proposed by Mr Hodges—" That they propose a vote of thanks to Sir Julius Vogel for his address." When the elections came on they could, through the ballot-box, return him a vote of confidence if they liked. Mr

Farnall seconded the amendment, with the addition, that this meeting emphatically protests against further borrowing.— [Hooting and hisses, and cries of "Sit down !"] A Mr Whitcombe then seconded the original resolution, made by Mr Jury, which was put and carried by a considerable majority, amidst cheering and counter-cheering. Elsewhere we publish Sir Julius Vogel's remarks on the question of the Dissolution of Parliament.

In the Resident Magistrate's Court today, before D. Macfarlane, Esq., KM., Mr J. Monahan, Borough Inspector, appeared against Hugh Cameron, of Hokitika, for plying for hire, for the carriage of passengers with a coach and horses, on the 27th February, within the Borough of Kumara, not being duly licensed so to do, contrary to the bye-laws of the borough.— Evidence was adduced, and the defendant was fined 10s, and costs 7s.

The funeral which took place this afternoon of the late Master John O'Connel Murphy, who was the only child of his widow mother, was very largely attended, the girls and boys attending St. Patrick's Sunday and Day Schools attending in large number, many ladies also followed in the sorrowful procession, which must have numbered between three and four hundred mourners, thus testifying to the great esteem in which the youthful boy and his parent were regarded. Commander Edwin wired at 1.50 p.m.— "Indications of strong and cold winds between east and north and north-west after 12 hours from now ; glass fall within that time."

Since the disappearance of the late Wm. King, whose last mortal remains were recently -interred in the cemetery, writes the Argus, a good deal of speculation has been indulged in as to what became of the boat in which he adventured on his last fishing expedition. It was known to be a very buoyant boat, and surprise was expressed that it had not come ashore before this. All doubt on that point is now settled, the boat having been picked up on the beach three miles to the northward of Canoe Creek on Tuesday last, by Messrs Wilson and Anderson, who reside in the locality. It would appear from the appearance of the boat and the gear inside that she has been floating about ever since the accident happened. It has received no damage of any kind, and it is quite clear that it has not been upset and that it has not been ashore. The bailer was still in the boat, and a length of rope coiled up undisturbed in the usual place. There was one scull in the boat, which verifies the statement that a spare scull was always carried. As one of the two found was broken it gives colour to the theory that poor King broke a scull while rowing, and tumbled overboard, when, of course, with his thigh boots and heavy fisherman's clothes on him, he would have little chance of saving himself by swimming. With respect to the challenge issued by Tommy O'Loughlin to run Reed, of Westport, three distances from 100 yards up to 440 yards, for the sum of £IOO a-side, the Westport Times states that business prevents Mr Read taking up the challenge at the present time. His duties as manager of the Mokihinui Coal Company's mine would, in the present important stage of the undertaking, interfere with his training ; but at some future convenient time he intends to meet O'Loughlin in the pedestrian field.

Here is a pleasant amenity at a recent political meeting in the Eastern Counties, England. The candidate having concluded his address, the chairman called upon anyone who wished to move a resolution. " I begs to move that that there red-headed bloke who spoke last be chucked into the 'orse-pond !"

W. J. M'Uroy and Co., Main street, Kumara, beg to announce that they are purchasers of gold.—[Advt.] Drunken Stuff.—How many childrcu and women are slowly and surely dying, or rather being killed, by excessive doctoring, or the daily use of some drug or drunken stuff called medicine, that no°one knows what it is made of, who can easily be cured and saved by American Co.'s Hop Bitters," which is so pure, simple, and harmless that the most frail woman, weakest invalid, or small child can trust in it ! See

Facts.—Close confinement and careful attention to all factory work gives the operatives pallid faces, poor appetites, languid, miserable feelings, • poor blood, inactive liver, kidneys, Ac-., and all the physicians and medicine in the world cannot help them unless they get out of doors or use American Co.'s Hop Bitters. None need suffer if they will use it freely. See

We add here epitome of one of the various cases treated by Siegen, M.D., Professor, &c. :-Burning of the right hand through the explosion of a small oil stove. The epidermis on the valar aud palmer side of the hand of the thirty-year-old patient was completely separated and lifted up as far as the join. of the haud. The likewise lifted nails were hanging loose, and half of the phalanx of the nail of the middle finger was coaled. The wounds thus contracted healed in three weeks under daily applications of Eucalypti Extract dressing. The patient has retained the full use of her hand.—[Advt.]
