IMPORTANT NOTICE. rpHR Proprietors of the Akaiioa JL Mail have much pleasure in announcing that they have completed arrangements by which they will bo enabled to issue*with that journal A SUPPLEMENT containing Fourteen Columns of highly interesting literary matter. The contributions wil! consist of Tales (continuous and complete), Essays, Articles ou Agriculture, Science, Household Matters, etc., not omitting Poetry and Humor. They have purchased the right to publish a New Novel by Mr Marcus Clarke, author of " His Natural Life," entitled "THE MYSTERY OF MAJOR MOLINEUX." This story will be commenced in the first of the Mail Supplements. The " Mysiery of Major Molineux " is a strange and weirdjj production, evidently founded on a fact connected ! with the early histoiy of Tasmania. As a psycological study it approaches in subtlety to same of the most successful efforts of the author of " Adam Bede ;" »vhile for intensity of sustained interest and soul-thrilling excitement it is only surpassed by Edgar Allan Poe in " The Mystery of Marie Rogct," and " The Murders in the Rue Morgue." Hi at the story is based upon a fact does not detract from its interest, but rather lends an air of vraisemblance to a story which would otherwise be too appalling. It is an introspective study, a psycological romance, a social drama—• worthy of the author of " His Natural Life." The Supplements will be published weekly with the Friday's issue of the Mail. The first publication will take place on FRIDAY, AUGUST 12. Orders from persons desirous of becoming subscribers should be sent in at once. Quarter commences from date paper supplied.
