Some £30 or £40 more at least is required before the committee will have enough tnoney in hand to justify them in beginning to build; and they feel they ought to have Something in hand to commence operations With when the building is erected. There is, however, a tolerable list of annual subscribers, —sufficient to encourage the promoters to go on with the work, so soon as they see their way to put up the building and furnish it plainly, Without incurring debt. Will those who approve of this undertaking, but have not yet contributed, ..kindly come forward ? "He gives twice who gives quickly." The cases that have of late been brought before our tesident magistrate afford ample evidence of the necessity for the immediate establishment of such un institution as this. It is a crying want. Subscriptions and donations will be thankfully received by the treasurer, Mrs. J. Kinder jby any of the clergy; or may be paid to the Auckland Women's Home account, Bank of Australasia, Shortland-street.

S. and J. R. Vaile's drapery establishment Will be closed this day, and on Friday, and will be re-opened on Saturday, the 16th instant.— [Advt/]

Some of the prettiest novelties in bijouterie we have noticed for a long time, attract the eye at present in the windows of Mr. Beck, jeweller. These are some of the most exquisitely-wrought necklets, eavrings, and bioochos, in silver gilt Maltese work. This stylo of jewellery is sure to become popular, combining, as it does, richness and li-rhtness ; and being, as far as cost is concerned, within the reach of most purses.

Our Wangarei correspondent informs us that Mr. Walter Pratt, a watchmaker, &o, thero, was arrested a few days since on a charge of selling arms and ammunition to certain natives, in the mouths of May and June last, contrary to the 28th section of tlie Arms Act, 1860.
