Many have remarked that there is noth new under the sun, but the extraordin yield from the Caledonian mine is uonieth: that was never yet known of, and even thai nothing when compared to the handso: Jewellery now being made daily by F. I Lewisson, Jeweller, Queen-street, from 1 quartz-stone from that mine. There are ci rings, brooches, pins, studs, solitaires, sleeji links, &c., &c, &o. Many may think*| impossible for them to be * finished in Aul land, the articles being turned out in bii first-class style, but having visited the gre« stone lapidary, as also the workshop wbe the gold work is done (where anyone can s for themselves, • should they feel bo incline,c we can assure the public that the goods turni out by F. H. Lewisson (opposite the Uii« Bank) are purely Colonial, and would hi disgrace any first-class house in London. ;:'. look in the window will well repay anydajji as there is always something new to be sJe and admired, and never the same goods jag days together. Advance New Zealand lNew Zealand Herald.— [Adyt.] "" m By the invitation of E. H. Lewisson W paid a visit to his factory to inspect so'Jnj articles now being finished. We were-'wft repaid for our trouble, and had no - ide* "$ the perfection he has obtained in the workijq of auriferous quartz and greenstone int jewellery; also, a black stone found fit Marl's Island, which, when cut and polishedsurpassei the English jet. ; It mriy be as wel to mention a few articles now being finish^ under order for the outgoing mail, viz., a J| of black earringd and brooch'; a mosaic brooclj made of light and dark gold-bearing quant and greenstone, in the shape of a star—-q beautiful specimen _of colonial workmanship a mosaic quartz and greenstone cross ; an an chor made of quartz and greenstone, for t gentleman's pin ; a set of studs, sleeve-link's,' and collar-buttons to match ; quartz horseshoj in the centre of a piece of greenstone; aflA several.masonic emblems, composed of _quar|£| and greenstone.

Lewisson's shop,1 nearly opposite the Union Bank, Lower Queeife; street, will show what can be done in the; manufacture of jewellery in Auckland. Ti •ret rings, lockets, brooches, earrings, and other forms of jewellery, manufactured "in" Mrt4 Lewisson'B shop in Albert-street, are spread j out in tempting profusion, and- are |no lesaa remarkable for their ' variety and originality^ than for their tastefulnpas, and.their very excel-; lent workmanship. We cannot undertake to^ describe here the '.various, buds, leaves, plants,! flowers, and other things, formed out of .gold, j silver, quartz, greenstone,cornelian, kauri gum, : and other materials selected for the purpose. They must be inspected, in order to their being appreciated, and this they will be largely by the favourers of colonial industries. Mr. 1 Lewisson's jewellery'has, of course, to compete J with the cheaply worked productions of Great Britain and the Continent of Europe, but from f .his it has nothing to fear. Its superior i f"'j and greater durability will not only i ,o its being largely worn here, but to its I extensively exported.
