SOUTH AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT SIX IVOTICE.—THE lIAMMAM (TURKISH BATH), PER CENT. BONDS PAYABLE IN LONDON. li 76, Jermyn-street, will RE-OPEN on MONDAY, the The Bank of South Australia, 54, Old Broad-street, 26th October, RC., is authorised by the undersigned to receive TEN DERS for BONDS of the SOUTII 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 £50,00 300 ~ 500 150 000 ~ 2,000 100 £400,000 And are issued under the authority of Act. No. 28, of 19th December, 1867, of the South Australian Parliament, entitled . 'An Act to authorise the raising of Money f Railway purposes." A copy of the Act may be inspected at the office of the nut - Le-signed, priucip .1 and interest are made payable in London at the dates specified in each Bond, the interest by Coupon ou the Ist July and Ist January of each year. The Bonds belt- interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum,- front the Ist July, 1868. The above quoted act authorises the issue of £Bll,OOO. The present issue is the firstportion 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, ac cording to the latest Government official statistics in the Agent General's posse ision 1862, £548,709 ' 1863, £631, 700 ; 186 4, £ 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 existinc , Bonded Debt is an nually reduced by redemption of BoEds falling due to the extent of about £lO,OOO each year. Sealed Tenders, made in accordance with the annexed orm, will be received by the Bank of South Australia for he whole or any portion of these Bonds—net being less han £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 bo present. The Bonds will be allotted to the highest bidders, pro vided the rates offered are not below the minimum which will be fixed by the Agent General and placed in a sealed envelope on the table b •fore the Tenders are opened, but the sealed envelope will only be opened in case the Agent General declares that the whole amount has not been ten dered at or above his minimum. 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 be 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 net later than Tuesday, the 10th November, when the Bonds will be delivered. Tenderers to whom allotment may be made can have their Bonds earlier, if they desire it, by paying the balance less the discount at the then rate of the Bank of England. Forms of Tender may be obtained at the Office of the Bank of South Australia, or of the undersigned. FRANCIS S.

Bearing interest at 6 per cent per annutu front Ist July, 1868. Redeemable at par by half-yearly drawings in fifteen years. Placed on the same footing as the Public Debt of the United Kingdom of Italy, and not to be subjected to any special tax. Principal and interest, payable in Italy, and at Paris, Lon don, and Berlin, guaranteed by the Italian Government, and specially secured upon the produce of the tobacco revenues of Italy in accordance with the Convention of the Italian Government, dated 25th July, 1868, sanc tioned by the law of 24th August, 1368. The payments of interest and principal, both in Italy and at Faris, London, and Berlin, will be made in gold. The repayment of the principal in London will' be made at the fixed exchange of 25 francs 20 centimes to the pound sterling. Messrs. Stern Brothers beg to announce that they are authorised to receive subscripticns for the above bonds, which aro issued for the purpose of effecting a loan to the Italian Government, secured on produce of the tobacco revenue of Italy, in pursuance of the above-mentioned convention. The bonds aro issued by the company entitled "Soci6te pour la Regie co-interessee des Tabacs dans le .Royaume d'ltalie," established with a capital of fifty millions of lire (£2,000,000), to which has been conceded by that conven tion the farming of the Italian tobacco manufacture for fifteen years. The manufacture and sale of tobacco in Italy are, as is known, exclusively reserved to the Government, and the profits therefrom form one of the principal sources of the revenue of the kingdom. The returns from this source are published monthly in the Italian Government Gazette, from which it appears that the gross receipts in 1867 amounted to upwards of eighty-one millions of lire. This did not include the revenue from the Venetian territory, which is now added, estimated at eleven millions more. The convention (Arts. 5 and 23) stipulates that the com pany shall retain and set apart out of the revenues of the tobacco manufacture sufficient moneys to provide for the interest and sinking fund cf the bonds, prior to any pay ment to the Government or the shareholders. The bonds are guaranteed by the Italian Government, and will be countersigned by a representative specially appointed by the Government for that purpose. The bonds will be issued in amounts of 500 f. and 2,500 f each (the latter comprising five of 500 f.) They will be expressed in francs and in the equivalent amount in pounds sterling, at the fixed exchange of 25f. 20c., at which rate the repayments in London of the principal will be made. The bonds bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum; thus on each bond of 2,500 francs the annual in terest will be 150 francs, which will be reduced to 136 francs 80 centimes by the deduction of the general Italian income tax of 8.80 per cent. The interest will be payable half yearly, on the Ist January and Ist July, in gold, in Italy, and at Paris, Lon don, and Frankfort. The bonds will be divided into thirty series, each eon containing 15,800 bonds of 50U francs each, redeemable at par, within fifteen years from the Ist January, 1869, by thirty half-yearly drawings, the first to be made on the Ist April, 1869. At each drawing one entire series will be drawn. The repayment will take place three months after the drawing, and will be made at par (without any deduction for tax) . in Italy, Paris, London, and Frankfort. All payments in Italy, both of principal and interest, will be made in gold, to the exclusion of all paper money. The Italian Government has stipulated that the holders of bonds shall have the option of taking at par 47,400 shares in the company, of 500 lire each, at the rate of one share for every ten 500 franc bonds, for which purpose the Concessionaires, having subscribed for the whole of the 100,000 shares which compose the company's capital, have appropriated thereout 47,400 shares. The time and manner of exercising this option will be hereafter announced. The price of issue of the bonds in England will be at the rate of £Bl 7s. per 2,500 f. bond, payable by the fol lowing instalments : On Application £lO 0 par bond of 2,500 francs. „ Allotment lO 0 71 72 „ 16th Nov., 1868 15 0 „ Ist January, 1869. 15 0 deducting £2 19s. 6d.

Subscribers desiringto anticipate the payment of the re spective instalments will have the option of doing so under discount at 4 per cent. per annum within a week after allotment, or on any of the days appointed for the payment of the instalments. Taking into account the discount on payment in full, the Coupon on Ist January, 1869, and the half-yearly drawing, the loan affords to subscribers an interest equal to 9 17-16 per cent. on their investment. Interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum will be charged - on all instalments in arrear, but in default of due payment of the respective instalments, the scrip and all previous payments will be liable to be forfeited. In case of the allotment being for a less number of bonds than that applied for, the surplus of the deposit will be applied towards the instalment due upon allotment. Should there be a surplus beyond that instalment, it will be returned to the subscriber forthwith. Where no allotment is made the whole deposit will be returned without delay. On the issue of the Definitive Bonds it will be arranged to distribute them as much as possible over the several series, so that a subscriber for thirty bonds shall re ceive one reimbursable in each of the thirty hall-yearly drawings.

Amongst its other merits was the rare one of brevity—l mean com parative brevity, for it was quite long enough for any practical purpose, and contrasted most favourably with the two hours' discourse of Dr. Rumsey, against which I took occasion to lodge a modest protest yesterday. This, the last day of sectional business, has produced (as will bo seen below) some papers of importance, which have under•. gone - vigorous discussion. In the afternoon a meeting was held, to promote the establishment of a branch of the Ladies' Sanitary Association in Birmingham. The soir6e last night at the Town Hall was a pleasant reunion, and was well attended, although, if the truth be told some of the visitors who ought to have been there were in another place, that other place bcirg the theatre, where Miss Bateman was playing Lady Macbeth. The usual dinner of the membeis of the Association takes place at the Great Western Hotel this evening. PROFESSOR FAWCETT'S ADDRESS. In the department of Economy and Trade, Mrs. Fawcett read very effectively an address by Professor Fawcett, M.P., president of the department. ing at the outset remarked how important and desirable it was to trace the connection existing between the principles of economic science and their practical application to trade, and noted that many a great political blunder would have been avoided if prac- ical men had more frequently been guided by the teach- ings of science, the professor warned his audience not to forget the reverse aspect of the question, viz., the aid which was rendered to economic science by the . knowledge derived from practical men. He then pro ceeded to notice that the most remarkable characteristic of the mode in which industry was carried on in this country was the circumstance that capital was supplied.by one class, and labour by another. Although capital and labour must combine to produce wealth, yet between them; who supplied the capital and those who supplied the labour there often existed no other relations than those between the buyer and the seller of a commodity. Having applied these remarks to agriculture and manufactures, Professor Fawcett turned to the consideration of the co-operative plan which had been adopted in the works of Messrs. Crossley, of Halifax, and the collieries of the Messrs. Briggs, at Methley, near Leeds. Were the principle to be generally adopted, it would go far to do away with strikes. Though not opposed to courts of arbitration for settling trade disputes, he feared that such an artificial remedy could be but partial in its operation. But the present state of things could not continue. "All will be eager for a change when the evils and the perili resulting from the present state of things are adequately recognised. England has now to carry on in some of her most important branches of industry a keen and closely contested competition with foreign countries. The slightest additional burden cast upon her may cause the balance to turn against her. Let us, therefore, inquire, ' What are the sources from which peril may come?' At the outset of such an investigation I would lay most emphatic stress upon two maxims. Employers should remember that any deterioration in the condition of our labourers may induce the best and most skilled workmen to emigrate. Equally important is it that the employed should remem ber that any rise in wages obtained by an undue reduction of their employers' profits may ultimately bring serioua loss upon themselves. Capital is always withdrawn from an industry when profits are reduced below the ordi nary rate. Grave disaster may ensue if employers try to enrich themselves by reducing the earn ings of their workmen, or if workmen augment their earnings by diminishing the profits of their employ ers below the ordinary rate. Those agencies, therefore, will produce the most permanently beneficial influence which give additional prosperity to capitalists and labourers alike. Such an agency will be brought into operation by the establishment of some system of indus trial partnerships." Passing to the subject of education, the professor remarked that most of the serious burdens which the industry of this country has to bear were, either directly or indirectly, due to deficient educa tion. It was a truism to assert that ignorance was the Ifruitful source of crime and pauperism. The vast annual cost of maintaining our criminals and paupers represented so much abstracted from the profits of the capitalist and the earnings of the labourer. A reduction in profits and wages might cause capital to be withdrawn from our industry, and might encourage or r best labourers to leave us. Experience had shewn that the moral qualities of man were developed by bringing his mental faculties into activity. "If a higher moral tone and a keener sense of honour prevailed, what an incal- culable expenditure would be avoided, which is now annually incurred because there are always some who cannot be trusted to do their duty without being care fully overlooked. Education powerfully promotes the acquisition of the most valuable industrial qualities ; it makes the workman more skilful i it also induces him to recognise the duty of setting aside some provision for the future. Ignorance and recklessness generally ac company each other. Extra earnings are often spent, by those who cannot appreciate rational amusements, in drink and tobacco. A diminution in the hours of toil is a great boon to those who can utilise leisure, but spare time hangs heavily on the hands of those who can neither read nor write." Professor Fawcett having noticed that the Education Bill introduced into Parliament by Mr. Austin Bruce and Mr. W. E. Forster did not go far enough in the way of compulimy education, inasmuch as it would only confer the power to enforce an edu cational rate, and would altogether fail to reach those children who were either prematurely sent to work or who were allowed to run to ruin in the streets, concluded his address by saying : " Both in town and country there are numbers of children growing up in a state of complete ignorance, who live in the neighbourhood of well-managed and well-supported schools ; but those who object to edu cational rates would be at once conclusively answered by arguments based on economic considerations, if such rates were associated with a power to compel the attendance of children at school. It could `then be affirmed that the outlay in the first instance made for education would inevitably act more powerfully than any other circumstance, not only to reduce rates, but also to augment the wealth of every class in the community. If we had no pauperism and no crime, local taxation would be too insignificant to be felt by anyone, and pauperism and crime are in the vast majority of cases directly to be traced to vices which are engendered by ignorance. Education would diffuse more wealth amongst every class in the community, for as local burdens diminished less world be taken by the rate collector from the profits of capital and from the wages of labour. Education by increasing the efficiency of labour would cause more wealth to be produced without adding to human toil, profits and wages would be augmented ; commodities would also become cheaper, if capital and labour were more productive. Hence greater plenty would be diffused . over the land. Few would have to carry on such a severe struggle for existence as many now unhappily have to wage, and if the hours of labour became shortened our peoplo would have the mental cultivation to appreciate and utilise their additional leisure. Around us on every side are unmistakeable signs of the accumulations of vast wealth ; manufactories are rapidly increasing ; our exports and imports have trebled within the memory of men now living ; our capital is so enormous that it not only supports our own industry, but is embarked in various enterprises in every quarter of the world. , When, however, we contrast these evidences of great wealth with the vast sums which are annually spent in maintaining our paupers; when we know that in some of our most prosperous towns there is so much overcrowding that thousands are annually hurried to a premature grave; when we remember that numbers whose labour helps to create an industrial greatness have to depend in old age and in sickness upon parochial relief, we must, I think, come to the conclusion that the econ omist and p ractical man should unite their efforts in the endeavour to show how the vast wealth which is annually produced might be so distributed as to diffuse more general well-being amongst mankind." JURISPRUDENCE A ND AMENDMENT OF THE LAW. In the section of this department devoted to 'Muni cipal Law, a vapor was read by Mrs. Baines, on " The Legal Aspects of the Domestic Service Question." In brief, the document was a series of suggestions for am amendment of the laws that affect the relations of em ployer and employed. The custom of requiring " a month'S warning or a month's wages" was held to be very objec tionable, for it gave undue power to the servant, and it was proposed that a weekly hiring and weekly notice were preferable. The servant would then feel that her place depended on her own behaviour in it. It was further urged that a clerk or other such person should be ap ' pointed in every borough or market town, and a day in the week fixed for hearing disputes or complaints on the part of servants and employers : the said clerk to have the power of settling all minor disputes ; more important cases ranted referred to the Town Court, a. private hearing to beg when desired by complainant reasniddexnecaesoonf for last defendant. On the question of hiring, it was suggested de n a y ta''ndof servant obtaining that certificates should be issued from the office of the clerk, stating the age, name, and parish of the servant a servant, without j e o t i a l u b g: e t y t h i n l e o l pr i so o t s e e d service,e on n a g a l 4 g The other proposals made by Mr. Baines such certificate. ng a. were, that no servant should be entitled to a recommenda tionas ' leavingp it p ti a ye t i , lf aoo a yr n fie d iral 'c o n stl to another situation under twelve months' good service, unless sufficient reason could be sbewn as to the cause of leaving ; that the amount of wages should be decided between the parties, but with this agreement — that there should be an increase, say of 1-16th part of the first-named sum for the second year, and a similar addition for the third year, it being supposed that after three • years' good service there would be an amicable under standing between the parties, so that no further disputes would arise, and that after the first year's service any servant or employer wishing to make a change must give proper notice to the nearest office, the time of leaving to be regulated according to the convenience of the persons concerned, the servant never to leave under a month from the time of notice unless her place be filled, the wages - paLvayq tc, be paid up to the time of leaving - 3ro for by l i9- ;B , cf o ,na ;or -3 Of BIC IIS' ); )5 t" 3 30 a 3elr n •t 1/1 --•-•-'_, ..,- race' SOO .
