DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.

Caution. — We would call the attention of the public to the imprudence cf allowing strange Natives to walk in and pry about their houses. Last week during the Last, about six Natives called at Mr. Denyer’s house, near Mount Eden, in his absence, Mrs. D., ordered them off, but one of them stood immediately before the bedroom door, while another slipt in, and it was not until some time after they had decamped, that she discovered they had stolen a new Dress value, two Guineas. Mouse-Breaking.— We regret to hear that on Monday night last, the Store of Mr. D. Nathan was broken open and several articles stolen, we believe as yet there is no clue likely to lead to the discovery of the thieves. Our Contemporary the “ Times,” has attempted !o correct our latin quotation. The “ Scrap” alluds ed to was not furnished us by a third party as he assumes, but quoted from memory. We do not profess, I ke our Contemporary to be learned in the languages, but We are persuaded our quotation was correct, “ Medina cma te ipsum,”—“ Doctor cure thy seif.” is a proverb not only used in reference to Gentlemen of the faculty, but is equally applicable to all other Empirics' and Quacks who go about professing to cure disease’s in others, which at the game time they labour uuder themselves. Royal Victoria Theatre.— We beg to remind the public that Mr. Young takes his benefit on Friday evening at the above Theatre. Three emire New Scenes have been painted, and no expense has been spared to furnish the lovers of the Drama with a first rate evening’s Entertainment. —Mr. Young is a decided favourite with the public of Auckland, and we heartily wish him abundant success. We are obliged to Captain Finniss of the Joseph Albino,” for the Adelaide papers he furs ntsbetl tisyviih. They contain but little news of importance, as we hav6 had later intelligence from England. Want of space prevents our making extracts. ihe Public are hereby reminded of the sale at Mr. Cietnay’s sto’e which will take place ait halfpast 11 tor 12 o cloek this day,—when lunch will be provided,— See Advertisement. Fi-atid.—A new species of artifice lias just come to our knowledge, against which we feel if our duty to put the public on their guard. The high reputation which “ ROWLAND'S MACASSAR wiL ” has acquired throughout the world, has . xcited the cupidity of some unprincipled imitators who have endeavoured to introduce, into the East and West Indies, America the Colonies, Sec. Sea. their highly noxious imitations, tor the real article —th- wrappers and labels of which so closely iv--emble those of Messrs. Rowland's, as to require a somewhat careful observation to detect the imposition. The only mode for the purchaser to avoid the imposition, and escape the baneful effects of their vile counterfeits, is to inspect, withgreat care, the wrappers and labels, and follow tile directions attached to the word “ CAU I lON ” in Messrs. Rowb nd’s Advertisement, which frequently appeals in our paper,— See Advertisement.
