_ The Melbourne Argus says:— The difficulty in procuring authentic intelligence from the seat of war is being strongly felt in London, and some of the Metropolitan journals do not hesitate to resort to very questionable means to satify the public craving for news. Our - London correspondent, in a private communication, makes the following remarks on the subject:— -« Up to the present time we have sent only two special war telegrams, the events occurring from day to day not seeming of sufficient importance to justify more. No reliance can be placed on the bulk of the telegrams which appear in our London papers, nine but of ten being generally contradicted after the lapse of a few days" The Daily Telegraph is especially conspicuous for its sensational paragraphs, in which there is often scarcely a particle of truth. We are therefore, compelled to be cautious in not hurrying through false intelligence." (__g__.H>ii-ii i . __ _ ,

If taken according to the printed instructions, they not only cure the complaint but improve the whole system.
