Who says that Melbourne is a hot place? The Standard of that city pays, under date of 16th July :— " Last night was the coldest yet experienced this winter, the mercury falling bnlow freezing point, only 29deg. in the shade and 4M«g. less on the gras^ being recorded. The Government Astronomer explains that this is rather exceptional. Had the mercury dropped 2dpg. more in the shad* and l^drg. on the gra^s the lowest register on record, that of ".Tnlv 21, 1862, would have been equalled. It in along time since the temptvaturc was as low as last night. During last year, al though on some occasions much cold was felt, the mercury did not descend Mow the moderate point of 32-7dpß. Consequently no toe appeared in the gutters. The Astro■omtr uierti that for the first time this yur lot appurtA this morning. Rt c*.

It is in this spirit that the Anti- | Poverty Society of Auckland greets all j kindred societies in these colonies, and asks for this paper the recognition and support of all who are griev«d and ashamed of the ( miserable results of our present social tvßtenl, and who have hope and faith in the future. We believe that Henry George has seea more clearly, and expressed more forcibly, than any other man the fundamental iniquity from which our social miseries spring, and we, therefore, make the propagation of his teaching our main duty. What God created for the use of all, should be utilised for the benefit of all ; what is produced by the individual belongs rightfully to the individual. The neglect of these two simple principles has brought upon us the curie of wide-spread poverty, and all the evila that flow from it. Their recognition will abolish poverty; will secure to the humblest independence and leisure ; and will lay a broad and strong foundation on which all other reforms may be based. To secure the recognition of these principles is the noble task to which Henvy George has devoted his life, and it is in the hope of aiding in hie work that we establish this paper." We welcome our new ally, and trust it may be successful in its mission. The paper has a large amount of reading matter, and is well and clearly printed.

Two years since we inaugurated a practice which has been extensively followed sinee — viz., showing during the daytime, but under gaslight, materials for ball and evening wear, at Te Aro House, Wellington. To-morrow is the last day our show-room will be artificially darkened, and with it the opportunity of seeing a resplendent show of materials and requisites for the ball-room, uuder gaslight, at Ta Aro House, Wellington. The materials will comprise nuns veiling? in heliotrope, lemon, cream, sky, and gas green ; tulle robes, tulle and tinsel robes, tulle and crystal robes, tulle and net robes, embroidered veilings, silks, faille francaise merveilleaux, watered silks, pongees, cashmeres in all the most beautiful and effective colours, at Te Aro House, Wellington. Then there are a splendid lot of the fashionable Russia nets in plain and striped, nets with chenille spots, silk stripes and figures, in skirt lengths ; silk gloves, 27 inches long, in cream, coral, white, sky, and gold, suede gloves ; fans, in feather, gauze, and marabout, with a variety of ribbons to match the nets, at Te Aro House, Wellington. Altogether this gaslight display during the day will be a perfect success, and we invite all the ladies resident in Wellington and elsewhere to witness it, free from any solicitations to purchase, at Te Aro House, Wellington.
