Some of the results of bringing out a low class of immigrants are already beginning to be felt. Yesterday a brute in human form, recently arrived, was committed for trial for biting off a policeman's nose ; and two young ladies, one of whom recently arrived by the Asia, were charged before the Magistrate with stealing a pocket-book containing a sum of money. The younger of the two was stated to have been an inmate of a workhouse in the old country. Truly these are anything but a desirable class of immigrants.— Guardian.
The inhabitants of the Cromwell district arc sometimes puzzled to know which is the best and cheapest establishment to purchase their supplies of drapery and clothing at. They should no longer remain in doubt on that score. If they will only pay one visit to W. Talboys' London House, they will discover for themselves that it is not only the cheapest but the best store at which to deal for these articles. Mr Talboya has made arrangements to import his stock duct from the Home markets, and the public can rest assured that everything will be sold by him at an advance only sufficient to repay the original cost, and return a fair percentage on the outlay. Every article in Mr Talboys' establishment is marked in plain figures, from which no abatement is ever made. A fuller description of the stock will be found in advertisement ia anotiicr column.—[A dvt.]
