E.G., is authorised by the undersigned to receive TEN DERS for BONDS of the SOUTH AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT, to the amount of £400,000. The Bonds, having from 26 to 35 years to run (1891 to 1903), are of the following denominational values:- 50 Bonds for £l,OOO each £50,000 300 I/ 500 - - 2,000 100 17 .£lOO,OOO And are issued under the authority of Act No. 28, of 19th December, 1867, of the South Australian Parliament, entitled "Au Act to authorise the raising of Money f )r Railway purposes."

The Bonds bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, front the Ist July, 1868. Tho above quoted act authorises the issue of £811;000. The present issue is the first portion thereof, the remaining half will not be issued till some time next year. Clause 5 of, the Act duly provides for the payment of the interest, and the redemption of the Bonds of this Loan, as they fall due. The B nded Debt of South Australia, including the £400,000 now issued, will amount to £1,568,000, and is secured on the general revenue of the colony, which was as follows, according to the latest Government official statistics in the Agent General's possession: —1862, £548,709 • 1863, £631,700 ; 1864, £775,837 ; 1865, £1,089,128; 1866, £949,774. The high estimation in which the South Australian Government Bonds have al ways been held is sufficiently proved by the current quo tations in the market. The existing Bonded Debt is an nually reduced by redemption of Bonds falling due to the extent of about £411,000 each year. , Sealed Tenders, made in accordance Kith the annexed orm will be received by the Batik of South Australia for 114k1'hole or any portion of these Bonds—not being less Tian £loo—until noon on Tuesday, the 13th October, and he allotment will take place at that hour in the presence of such of the applicants as may desire to be present.

Tenders at a price including a fraction of a shilling other than sixpence will not be preferentially accepted, and in the event of an equality of Tenders beyond the amount of these Bonds, a pro rata distribution on such Tenders will be made. In the same way the Bonds falling due at the different dates will bo distributed, as regards the dates, as near as possible ' amongst the successful tenderers. Ten per Cent. on the nominal value of these Bonds must be paid to the Bank of South Australia as soon as the al lotment is made, and the balance not later than Tuesday, the 10th November, when the Bonds will be delivered.

Matters not who is Chancellor, whether Lord Cairns or Sirßoundell Palmeg( These eminent men are upon this subject equally enlightened, and will each cordially co-operate with the other in the advancement of this great object—the improve. , ment of our civil procedure. They will be aided also to the utmost by an eminent person who, happily, occupieg the highest position in our common-law judicature— Alexander Cockburn, the Lord Chief Justice of England, whose enlarged and enlightened mind would lead 'hin t to adopt and advocate any practicable measure of legal reform, and whose authority would lend it great weight. He is the senior surviving member of the Com mon Law Commission of 1850, which did so much tt improve our procedure, and recommended the salutary provisions to which we have adverted; and it was under stood that his views were far more advanced than those of his coadjutors ; nor can it be doubted that he would gladly lend his aid to carry out the principles then laid down. There are, moreover, still three more judges on the bench who were members of that commission : Baron Martin, Baron Bramwell, and Mr. Justice Willes, all men of sound sense, of great legal learning, and of great ex perience. And happily - the bench, as it is now constituted,' is largely—one might say entirely —composed of men at once enlightened and experienced ; such men, for instance, as Sir H. Keating, whose name has been already men tioned as that of a law reformer, and the author of a very valuable measure ; Mr. Justice Montague Smith, n, man of vast experience and cultured mind ; Mr. Justice Mellor, a man of very sound judgment ; and last, not least, Mr. Justice Blackburn, who combines in a rare degree deep learning with common sense. From such men law reform will meet with no objection or obstruction. Nor is this all ; there has lately been added to the bench a man of the same order of mind as Mr. Justice Willes— we mean Mr. Justice Hannen, a man evidently learned, liberal, and enlightened. Then there are men like that eminent judge Sir James Wilde, with minds at once philosophical and practical, who would lend all their aid to legal reform. In Parliament, again, there are men like Mr. Ayrton and Mr. Torrens on one side, and Mr. Henley and Mr. Hardy on the other ; to say nothing of able Liberal lawyers like Mr. Coleridge, Mr. Denman, and Sir R. Collie; who would lend all their assistance. Anyhow, we rejoice to think, considering the construction of the commission now sitting, and that it includes the honoured name of Sir William Erle—a man in whom Liberal views are happily blended with matured experience—no doubt can be entertained that, next session, we shall see a large and valuable reform of our civil procedure.—Westmiester Review. 7 AMORNING and EVENING DRAUGHT.

On Wednesday last I went to work at a quarter-past six o'clock in the morning. I went into the far shop at about a quarter to seven o'clock, and found there Richard EN-wig, Jane Hawker, Sarah Ann Downing, and Mrs. Cooper, the lads Tommy Siddons, Joe Siddons, Watson, and Tomrcr Carroll. Mr. Norris came shortly afterwards. I saw some composition in a can which was on the stove, but I didnot see who put it there. I saw Mrs. Cooper with the tin in her hand a few minutes before I noticed it being on the stove. My attention immediately afterwards was directed to the stove in consequence of the smell of sulphur proceed ing from it. The composition consisted of nitre, sulphur, and charcoal, and was a very combustible substance. The, stove was railed round with iron bars about Oft. high, and bad an iron bar all round the top for the purpose of placing the tins on. The bar was about 3ft. from the top of the stove. From the time I first saw the tin in the hand of Mrs. Cooper up to the time I saw it on the stove would be about four minutes, and while the tin was on the stove she was standing close by. The tin ought to have been placed on the bars, and not on the stove. I was standing about a yard from the stove at that time, and Mr. Norris was standing close to me. Mr. Norris and myself both looked towards the stove at the same time, and we both attempted to take the tin with composition off, but it exploded before we could do so. After the explosion I never saw Mr. Norris, Mrs. Cooper, or the boy Watson. When I next found myself I was blown into the window-sill, the windows of which were blown out. Immediately after- wards I was blown out of the building into the garden. I then found that my clothing was on fire, and I rolled myself on the ground and called for help. Some people came to me and placed me on a board and took me home. I don't know who they were. I then became insensible, and when I came to myself I was lying on the house floor. That is all I remember about the affair. I have no use in my hands and arms, and I don't think I shall get better. I have no feeling in my hands, and I cannot write. This is a true statement of all I know about the explosion." All the bodies having been fully identified, and the coroner having given certificates for the burial, the inquest Was adjourned until Tuesday. LAW AND POLICE. THE CHARGE OF SHOOTING AT FOUR CHILDREN IN JJEICESTER.—The boatman named Mitchell, who shot nt four children, near Leicester, has been brought before the magistrate. One of the Sunday-school teachers detailed the facts once again. He saw the boat pass, and some children throwing stones into the canal, when he heard the report of a gun. On turning round he saw the prisoner, at the helm, take a gun from his shoulder and put it into the cabin. Brown's face was streaming with blood, and witness ran towards the boat and told the boy in charge of the horse to stop ; but the prisoner would not let him, and said he was to go on, as there was nothing the matter. On the boat nearing the bankside witness boarded it, and asked the prisoner what he fired for, when he replied that he did not know the gun was loaded. Witness told him that was nonsense, he must have known it, when he answered, " I did not think it would have carried so far. I never had a gun in my hand before in my life, and did not think I could have aimed so straight." On reaching the locks Mr. Annis, another teacher, came up, as well as the captain of the boat, and prisoner was taken into custody. He pointed out where the gun was in the cabin, as well as the powder-flask. John Sheldon said lie was with some boys who were throwing stones, first at a swallow and then at the boat as it passed, when prisoner fired, saying he would " put that into them." Witness was struck by the shot on the right eyelid, left temple, and left wrist. A certificate was read from Mr. C. R. Crossley, surgeon, stating that, although progressing favourably, Edwin Brown was not able to attend the court and give evidence. The prisoner was then further remanded for a week. DAMAGING A LADY'S CLOTHING.—Mr. J. Pitt Taylor, the judge at the Greenwich County Court, gave judgment on Friday in a singular case. Miss Bishop, a young lady residing at Greenwich, was passing some buildings in the course of erection at New-cross, when some liquid containing lime fell upon her bonnet and velvet mantle, doing damage to the extent of 24. The land upon which the houses are being erected had been taken on lease by a Mr. Turner, a builder, and against this person an action had been brought to recover the amount of damage stated. The defendant contended . he was not liable, on the ground that another person had agreed with him to do the brickwork of the buildings at so much per rod, and that, in law, such person was a contractor, and would alone be liable. His Honour ruled that this person was, in the eye of the law, the servant of the defendant, and an order was made for the full amount claimed, with costs.

The extreme length of thare antiquity haz never been fully discovered ; they existed a long time before the flood, and hey existed a long time since. Thare is a great deal ov internal revenew in a hog ; thare ain't much more waste in them than thare iz in an oyster. Even thare tails can be worked up into whissles. Hoggs are good, quiet boarders; they always eat what is set before them, and don't ask any foolish questions. They never hey any disease but the meazles, and they never hey that but once ; once seems to satisfy tnem. Some are full in the face like a town clock, and some are as long and as lean as a cow catcher with a steel-pinted noze on them. They are a short lived animal, and generally die as soon as they git fatt. The hog can be larnt a great many cunning things, such as pulling front gates off from the hinges, tippling over the swill barrels, and finding a hole in the fence tew get into a corn-field ; but thare ain't any length to there memory ; it is awful hard work for them to find the same hole to get out, especially if you are at all anxious they should. Hogs are very contrary, and seldom drive well the same way you are going ; they drive most the other way. This has never bin fully oxplalued ibut speaks, 1.21Y14e3 for tkikoz.
