Many havo remarked that there is nothing new under the sun, but the extraordinary yield from the Caledonian mine is something that was never yet known of, and even that is nothing when compared to tho handsome Jewellery now being made daily by F. H. Lewisson, Jeweller, Queen-street, from the quartz-stone from that mine. There are earrings, brooches, pins, studs, solitaires, sleevelinks, &c, &0., &c. Many may think it impossible for them to be finished in Auckland, the articles being turned out in such first-class style, but having visited the greenstone lapidary, as also the workshop where the gold work is done (where anyone can see for themselves, should they feel so inclined), we can assure tho public that the goods turned out by F. H. Lewisson (opposite the Union Sank) are purely Colonial, and would not disgrace any first-class house in London. A look in the window will well repay anyone, as there is always something new to bo seen and admired, and never the same goods two dajs together. Advance New Zealand!— New Zealand Herald.— [Advt.] By the invitation of F. H. Lewisaon we paid a visit to his factory to inspect some article*} now being finished. We were well repaid for our trouble, and had no idea of the perfection he has obtained in the working of auriferous quartz* and greenstone into jewellery; also, a black stone found in Mari's Island, which, when cut and polished, surpasses the English jet. It may be at well to mention a few articles now being finished, under order for the outgoing mail, viz., a pair of black earrings and brooch ; a mosaic brooch made of light and dark gold-bearing quartz and greenstone, in the shape of a star —a beautiful specimen of colonial workmanship ; a mosaic quartz and greenstone cross ;' an anchor made of quartz and greenstone, for a gentleman's pin ; a set of studs, sleeve-links, and collar-buttons to match; quartz horseshoe in the centre of a piece of greenstone; and several masonic emblems, composed of quartz and greenstone. These, when the gold mounting is finished, will be worthy inspection, and we should adviso anyone desirous of sending home elegant presents to pay a visit to F. H. Lewiason's establishment, opposite the Union Bank, Queen-street.— Daily Southern Cross. — [Advt.] An inspection of Mr. F. H. Lewisson's shop, nearly opposite the Union Sank, Lower Queenstreet, will show what can be done in the manufacture of jewellery in Auckland. There rings, lockets, brooches, earrings, and other forms of jewellery, manufactured in Mr. Lewisson's shop in Albert-street, are spread out in tempting profusion, and are n<jfless remarkable for their variety and originfjtty, than for their tastefulncss, and their very excellent workmanship. We cannot undertake to describe here the various buds, leaves, plants, flowers, and other things, formed out of gold, silver, quartz, greenstone, cornelian, kauri gum, and other materials selected for the purpose. They must be inspected, in order to their being appreciated, aud this they will be largely by the favourers of colonial industries. Mr. Lewisson's jewellery has, of course, to compete with the cheaply worked productions of Great I Britain and the Continent of Europe, but from (his it has nothing to fear. Its superior quality and greater durability will not only tend to its being largely worn here, but to its being extensively exported. Thoso desiring to send presents home will find all they could wish iv Mr. Lewisson's shop to select from. Many of the articles for inspection and sale are as unique as they are beautiful. Mr. Lewisson's investment of capital, spirit- of enterprise, and artistic skill deserve all the countenance and support that can be accorded to him. — Evening News. —[Advt.] BOAKD AND RESIDENCE.
