The Hon Messrs Burns, Fostaia3ter-Gene-ral of New South Wales, and Fisher, Post-master-General of New Zealand, and Colonel Glover, the manager of the Telegraph Extension Company, arrived at Cable Bay in the Hinemoa yesterday morning, and came from thence overland to Nelson. They sailed for Wellington in the Hinemoa at two o'clock this morning, and arrived there at eleven. The Artillery Company made some excellent gun practice from the Port Hills on Saturday afternoon at a range of about 2800 yards. The mark, which was a barrel anchored in the Bay, so small as to be scarcely visible to the naked eye, was very nearly hit several times. Messrs Sharp and Pickering advertise a lot of prime milling wheat, ex Mary Ogilvi« to be sold by auction at the Commercial Wharf to-morrow afternoon at two o'clock. With Tarquin's ravishing strides, stealthy but swift, disease advances in the feeble organism. Had the constitution been fortified by seasonable invigoration the attack might have beeu warded off. Now, perhaps medicinal succor may be unavailing. Feeble invalid, be warned in time. Thousands perish who might have beeu preserved by tonic treatment. Vitalize your enfeebled system and lire.

A young man in the prime of life, full of vigour and high spirits, not heeding the daugers of the festive board, and the fashionable follies|of modern social life, was suddenly found to be stricken down by an attack of Rheumatic Gout of a very severe and dangerous character. His friends induced him to try the Rheumatism and Gout MixTCEESof " Ghollah's Gbkat Indian Cures " — Christchurch, 4th September, 1877. Sin —Having suffered severely from gout for about five years, I was induced to try your Indian Medicines, and continued their use for several weeks, using both the Rheumatism and Gout Mixtures. I found very great relief from their use, losing the severe pains and swellings in my feet and imba and found myself able to walk about with a* freedom I had not been accustomed to for some considerable time. I can recommend others suffering from rheumatism or gout to try your medicines, in the belief that they will do them the same good as they did me.I am, yours obediently, John Tunmisk.
