I’y cable messages received this afternoon, we learn that Lord Ilartington lias declined to join the Earl of Salisbury in the formation of a Coalition Ministry ; at the same time he intimated that he would accord his support in the House to a Conservative Administration.—Another difficulty has aiisen bo tween the Ilussiars and British in reference to the delimitation of the Afghan frontier.

At the National Rifle Association meeting at Wimbledon, the Queen’s Prize has been won by Jackson, a Lincolnshire Volunteer. The Christchurch coach arrived this afternoon, shortly after- four o’clock, bringing large mails, including those for the Coast by the direct mail steamer Aorangi. Mr J. Kennedy and his wife who, were playing here with the Called Back Company, are now engaged playing leading parts in Brisbane. A party of Natives, searching at Wairoa, found on the hill above the township the ruins of a whare, in which the remains of ten Maoris were found. Beach, though taking pari in the sculling sweepstake match on the Thames at the end of August, has declined to allow the title of champion to be competed for, except in a special match. We clip the following important testimonial from the “lllawarra Mercury” (N.S. W.), on the 30th March. It needs no commentMr John Loveday, of the Bulli Mountain, writes to us that after suffering for four years with acute gravel, he has experienced almost complete relief by using Sander and Sons’ Eucalypti Extract. He says seeing the said extract advertised in the “lllawarra Mercury,” his intense suffering induced him to obtain a bottle of the medicine from Mr Hosking, chemist, of this town, and that the use of it gave him great relief at once. He states that between the 10th March instant, when he obtained the first bottle of the extract, and on the 19th, the use of that medicine continued to afford him relief, to which he had been a stranger for four years. Mr Loveday writes also that he has found the Eucalypti Extract a cure for rheumatism as well as gravel. He requests us to publish this information through the “Mercury.” We have much pleasure in complying with Mr Loveday’s request, whose word cannot be doubted, and who can have no object in view other than a pure desire to benefit suffering humanity.”—[Advt.] Wicked for Clergymen.—“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.
