On the 19th inst, General Camerom arrived at Taranaki in the steamer Alexandra, with 250 troops. The Butch barque Alfred, Captain Decker, from Cape Town the 27th September, arrived at Auckland on the 16th inst., with 251 passengers and 85 tons military stores for the Government. It was rumored at Wanganui that General Cameron was expected to arrive there on tho 22nd inst in the steamer Alexandra, The Herald of the 19th inst. says :—“ We stated yesterday that a movement towards the South would take place, and yesterday Sir Duncan Cameron and staff, with 220 men of the 43rd and 30 men of the band of the 70th Regiments, left the Manakau by the s.s., Alexandra, for Taranaki.

Ladybird, Una, and Otto even against the field. A story is afloat about an unreported remark of the Lord Mayor of London in his speech at the Royal Academy dinner. Referring to some event antecedent to his mayoralty, the worthy civic dignitary observed that “it happened before my ascension!” A man who courts a young woman in the starlight, probably expects to get a wife in a twinkling. “False one, I love thee still,” as the old bachelor said to his dickey, and the old maid to her wig. Proverbial Philosophy.—There is no place like home. Fallacious. If your home be in a row of houses, it is probable that the homes of your neighbours will be very like yours. Rather Difficult to Swallow. “ Fancy,” said Sydney Smith to some ladies, when he was told that one of the giraffes at the Zoological Gardens sad caught a cold, “ a giraffe with two yards of sore throat!” A Military Definition of a Kiss.—A report at head-quarters. A Quaker’s Advice.—“ Don’t scold a woman, lest she should scold better than thee.” When is a black dog not a black dog ?—When it’s a greyhound. Hollow ax’s Pills.—Jot pok Invalids.— The greatest and best chemical combination of tho very finest balsams dwells in this excellent medicine, which to be praised needs only a single trial. The purifying power of these excellent Pills strongly recommends them to the use of families in which any constitutional weakness or deleterious taint exists. Holloway’s medicine has the most renovating effectwhen the system has become debiliated by dissipation, over-indulgence, or long-continued illness. The Pills, acting gently as alteratives, aperients, and tonics, impart strength and energy to the whole body. No mischief can possibly result from the use of this world-esteemed remedy: Innocent in nature, and harmless in action, it is admirably adapted for every delicate constitution.
