The Manchester Guardian's London correspondent is informed that the directors of the Great Northern Kailway Company are preparing an important attraction for the northern express which leaves King's Crosß at five o'clock. It will consist of a handsome saloon, in which dinner can be served en route. A mysterious basket, addressed to the stationmaster at Clapham Junction, on being opened, was found to contain a living child. The stationmaster declining the gift, a porter volunteered to accept it, and took the basket and child. On lifting the child £BOO was found in the basket. The story goes that the stationmaster then demanded the basket and its contents, which the porter very properly refused to give up. One can hardly doubt to which of the two the mother would entrust her child. The London correspondent of the Argus says—" Mr Vogel's handbook for New Zealand is to make its appearance very shortly. It would have been published ere now had it not been for the delay occasioned in preparing the numerous engravings that are to adorn its pages and give it extra attractions. From the care with which it has been compiled, and the great interest at present felt in New Zealand, it is sure to have a large circulation in this country. Jottings about New Zealand constantly find their way into the papers, and there is scarcely one that has not contained a paragraph lately announcing the presence in this country of a representative of the Acclimatisation Society of New Zealand, for the purpose of collecting English partridges for exportation thither, to be turned loose for breeding. They are to be sent out early next month.

J. WOODWARD, Public Trustee. FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE, THE WHEELER & WILSON SEWING MACHINE, (Reduced Prices.) Has attracted so much attention and become so great a favorite with the public that sellers of counterfeit machines have in the most shameless manner advertised and exhibited their machines under the well known " WHEELER AND WILSON." This is done in an artful manner, so as to avoid legal proceedings. No imitation machine can compare with the original. None work so well; None will last so long, And, at the reduced prices, None are cheaper. No Machines are genuine unless they have this Trade Mark on the bedplate. LONG AND CO. 64, Elizabeth street, Melbourne, Head Agency for Australian Colonies and 3-22 New Zealand. 6450 ARAVILLA COCOA.—Fob Break- . fast.—The "Globe" says "Various Importers and Manufacturers have attempted to attain a reputation for their prepared Cocoas, but we doubt whether any thorough success had been achived until MESSRS. TAYLOR BROTHERS discovered the extraordinary qualities of 'MARAVILLA' COCOA. Adapting their perfect system of preparation to this finest of all species of the Theobroma, they have produced an article which supersedes ever other Cocoa in the Market. Entire solubility, a delicate aroma, and a rare concentration of the purest elements of nutrition, distinguish the MARAVILLA COCOA above all others. For Homoeopaths and invalids we could not recommend a more agreeable or valuable beverage." Sold in packets only by all Grocers, of whom also may be had TAYLOR BROTHERS' Original Homoeopathic Cocoa and Soluble Chocolate. Steam Mills—Brick Lane, London. Berkeley, September, 1869. Gentlemen, I feel it a duty I owe to you to express my gratitude for the great benefit I have derived by taking «Norton's Cam omile Pills.' I applied to your agent, Mr Bell, Berkeley, for the above-named Pills, for wind in the stomach, from which I suffered excruciating pain for a length of time, having tried nearly every remedy prescribed but without deriving any benefit at all. After taking two bottles of your valuable pills 1 was quite restored to my usual state of health. Please give this publicity for the benefit of those who may be thus afflicted. I am, Sir, yours truly, Henry Allpaps.— To the Proprietors of Norton's Camomile PrLTiS. W ! RMS ON SALE AT THE "GLOBE" OFFICE.
