TO OUR READERS. IMPORTANT NOTICE. HHHE Proprietors of the Akaiioa jL Mail have much pleasure in announcing that they have completed arrangements by which they will be enabled to that journal AOUPPL E M E N T containing Fourteen Columns of highly interesting literary matter. The contributions will consist of Tales (continuous and complete), Essays, Articles ou Agriculture, Science, Household Matter:?, etc., not omitting Poetry and Humor. They have purchased the right to I publish a New Novel by Mr Marcus I Clarke, author of " His Natural Life," entitled "'THE MYSTERY OF MAJOR MOLINEUX." This story will bo commenced in the first of the Mail Supplements. The " Mystery of Major Molineux " is a strange and weird production, evidently founded on a fact connected with the early histoiy of Tasmania. As a psycologica? study it approaches in subtlety to some of the most successful efforts of the author of " Adam Bedc ;" while for intensity of sustained interest and soul-thrilling excitement it is only surpassed by Edgar Allan Poe in (< The Mystery of Marie Rogot," and " The Murders in the Rue Morgue." 'a.hat the story is based uoon a fact does not detract from its interest, but rather lends an air of vroisemblance to n 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 desircin of becoming subscribers should bo sent in at once. Quarter"commences from date of first paper supplied.
