New Illustrated Sporting Jour. nal. —By the last mail from Mel! bourne we leceived two numbers ci a new sporting paper, " Bell's Lifa m Melbourne."

We presume that it will be found to fill a place hitherto vacant in colonial journalism.

The Illustrated Examiner, Kelson.—Another instance of the enterprising .spirit of the New Zealand colonists is given in the publication of this journal, of which we gave a short notice some weeks ago, on the receipt of the second number. The one now to hand shows a marked improvement over that one, both in. the letter press and in the execution of the en ravings. Of the latter to have the following views of New Zealand Scenery:—l Falls on the Wangarei, Province of Auckland, from a photograph by Mr Barfclett. 2. First Church, Dunedin, a building, it is said, when completed, will be the largest and most attractive structwe in New Zealand. 3. The entrance to the Buller River. Besides these, there are a number of scenes in Victoria, one of the most striking of which is a full page view of a velocipede race on the Melbourne cricket grounds. We hope that the enterprise of the spirited publisher will meet with the encoui'agement his undertaking deserves; and we feel sure that it only requires to. to widely known to command an extensive circulation.
