Holloway's Ointment and Pills.— A Cure for Abscesses, Piles, Fistulas, and Sores of every description.—The very satisfactory results arising from the use of this invaluable Ointment when patients have been suffering from any of the above disorders, have induced the Medical Profession to introduce it into the hospitals and their private practice, and in many instances where the sufferer was considered’ incurable, Holloway’s Ointment in conjunction with his Pills has healed the most desperate Cases. These medicines are also unequalled for the cure of scrofula, scurvy, aifd all diseases of the skin ; the cures they effect are not temporary or imperfect, for their purifying powers bring about a marvellous and most beneficial change in the whole system, and enable it, with renovated powers, to resist future attacks of the same dis ase.

Petroleum as an Article of Fuel.—lt has long been a question, says the Railway World, whether petroleum, in its crude stat e, was not as good, and cheaper as an article of fuel, than coal. Messrs. Pears, Bakewell, and Co., of Pittsburgh, have been experimenting wit.h a view of ascertaining results, and they have found it eminently satisfactory, and in the future will use crude petroleum initead of coal. It is thought that nearly all the Pittsburgh mills will do the same, thus restoring the oil trade and consuming the bulk of production at home. With this view a petition for a free pipe bill is being circulated, and almost everyone is signing it.

The Tribune says that the Government have their Constitutional Changes Bill reajy, and also that Mr. Reynolds will certainty bring on again his Bill for the abolition of voting on miners’ rights and for the concession of the franchise to lodgers, but cannot say whether he will go any further in the matter of representation. It intimates that a redistribution of districts, and a simple and more correct system of electoral registration, are demanded on the eve of a general elect ion. It says the Licensing Act of last session will be amended, but it does not. hope to see a Bill introduced dealing with education in the colony, owing to the present position of parties. The Evening Post gave currency to a rumor that three millions of the late four million loan were deposited in the Bank of New Zealand at 21 per cent, but the report is not substantiated.
