A cablegram from Sydney this afternoon states that during the sitting of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly last night the galleries were cleared, and it has since transpired that Sir Henry Parkes afterwards gave notice of a vote of want of confidence in the Government. The motion came on for discussion this afternoon. We regret to announce the sudden d..-:iili of AL- Wi"i;!i:i ]lou'ul-.<, c,>ucli ■-•ajRohuci iu anot!".T. had elapsed, diiri':-; shoes hud ueeu iireii, 110 vV'iiS Siil'lU'lbUd at the appearance of ouj of lioiuioo'a dogs,
which manifested such uneasiness that Fane became alarmed and began to suspect that something had befallen his companion. Becoming convinced of this he at once retraced his steps and procured assistance, though naturally not till some j time had elapsed. Ultimately a large search party was organised and the bush scoured in all directions, constant signalling being kept up in the meantime. The efforts of the party were crowned with success, for groans were heard by one or two, proceeding from an old shaft. A block and tackle was sent for to raise the unfortunate man from the shaft, but by the time Mr Holmes was got to the surface, life was extinct. The. body was fearfully mangled." At the inquest on the body of Joseph Halligan, who was found dead in his store at Kanieri, on Monday last, the medical evidence was to the effect that death resulted from the bursting of a blood vessel in the brain. The blood vessels of the brain were charged with blood, and the heart out of order, the walls being very thin and the aorta diseased. A verdict in accordance with the medical evidence was recorded. An inquest was held in the Sea View Asylum yesterday on the body of John Moloney, who will be remembered as one of the accused in the celebrated Rutherglen arson case. Moloney has been in the Asylum for fourteen months; he was for some time in the Greymouth hospital and his mind giving way the authorities caused his removal to the Hokitika Asylum. He suffered from paralysis since his admission and gradually got worse, dying on Tuesday morning. The medical evidence was to the effect that deceased died from congestion of the brain, and a verdict was returned accordingly. It seems we were in error yesterday in stating that Mr R. E. Wylde had resigned the secretaryship to the Hospital. Such, it appears, was not the case. The ordinary fortnightly meeting of the Borough Council will beheld this evening. The Loyal Orange Lodge annual ball and supper willl be held on Friday, the 16th inst., and from all we can learn promises to be as successful a celebration as in former years. The ball will take place in the Adelphi Theatre, and the supper in the Masonic Hall. The advantages of this arrangement are well understood, and as the committee of management include the names of those who have acted in a similar capacity in previous years, intending patrons and visitors may rest assured that nothing will be wanting to make this festival as comfortable and enjoyable as it has always been. The Kuraara quadrille club will hold their usual weekly assembly at the Adelphi Theatre, at eight o'clock to-morrow evening. Dr. Hector reports that the volcanic cone which has been thrown up on the site of Lake Rotomahana by the recent volcanic disturbance is already 600 feet high, and is daily adding to its stature. Dr. Hector has given it the name of Mount Haszard. The Government have decideed to immediately call for tenders for 100,000 insulators, with bolts and fasteners complete, all to be manufactured within the colony. Messrs H. • Goulston and Co's new advertisement will appear to-morrow. A Rattlesnake's Bite.—The quick venom of the rattlesnake has not killed so many people as the more insidious but deadly poisons found in the air of foul rooms. The aeration of the blood by the lungs becomes impossible sometimes, and the failing health, growing weakness, and loss of appetite are harbingers of approaching death. For such cases Hop Bitters are the potent and all-powerful remedy to drive all fevers out of the system, purifying the blood, and giving a new and happy lease of life. Get genuine.
