The Lyttelton Times of the 11th instant contains the following somewhat severe criticism of the Ministry during the past session: ‘’We attribute much of Ministerial failure during last session to that wandering life which Ministers led during the preceding recess, and which prevented due preparation for the battle in Parliament. Preparation only commenced after the battle had begun. Better a small force properly organised, animated by one spirit, and commanded by one head,_ than a multitude of men, undisciplined, inspired by different counsels, and led by many leaders. The failure of the last session has much increased the difficulties of the next. It is probable that an attack will be made upon the Ministry, involving the question of confidence, at the outset of the session. If it is successful the Grey Government cannot well ask for a dissolution before an Electoral Bill and a Redistribution of Members Bill are passed. And it would be still more awkward for a Ministry under the ban of no confidence to try to pass such Bills. Had these Bills, as they ought to have been, been pressed forward by the Government, aud passed last session, a dissolution, in the event of political complications next session, could be justly claimed, and obtained with ease.” Holloway's Pills.—Nervous Debility.—No part of the human machine requires more watching than the nervous system; upon it hangs health, and life itself These pills are the best regulators and strengtheners of the nerves and the safest general purifiers; nausea, headache, giddiness, numbness, and mental apathy yield to them. They dispatch in a summary manner those distressing dyspeptic symptoms, stomachic pains, fullness at the pit of the stomach, abdominal distention, aud overcome loathings, capricious appetite, and confined bowels, the commonly accompanying s ? gns of defective or deranged nervous power. Holloway’s pills are particularly recommended to persons of studious and seden- : tary habits, who gradually sink into a nervous and i debilitated state, unless some restorative, such as his l pills be occasionally taken.—[Advt.] Advice to Mothers !—Are you broken in your j rest by a sick child suffering with the pain of cutting I teeth? Go at once to a chemist and get a bottle of i Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup. It will relieve the poor sufferer immediately. It is perfectly harm--1 less and pleasant to taste, it produces natural, quiet i sleep, by relieving the child from pain, and the little I cherub awakes “as'bright as a button.” It soothes I the child, it softens the gum?, allays all pain, relieves | wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for dysentery and diarrhoea, whether arising -from teething or other causes.
