APAEIMA.

Owing to pressure upon our columns, we are | compelled to hold over until our next much colonial news, local matter, and letters from corespondents. It will be seen from our advertising columns that in reply to requisitions that hare been presented, Mr W. H. Calder and Mr T. M. Macdonald have consented to be nominated as candidates for the representation of Invercargill. Mr O. R. Marten met the electors of the Waihopai at the Theaire Royal last evening, Thursday, 15th inst. The attendance was large. Mr Marten gave a full statement of his views on the Railway and other questions, and waß listened to with attention. Several questions having been put and answered, apparently satisfactory, it was moved, seconded, and carried, "that in the opinion of this meeting Mr 0. R. Marten is a fit and proper person to represent the district of Waihopai in the Provincial Council." We understand that a communication haß been received by Mr James Harvey from the G-ene-i ral Government, Btating that His Excellency the I Governor has intimated his acceptance of the 1 services of the newly formed Invercargill Rifle Volunteers. It is also stated that as soon as the officers are duly elected, the arms, &c, with 11,000 cartridges, will be forwarded from Wellington to the charge of the officer appointed. A geucral meeting for the consideration of thiß commirnioation is ftdver*ieo<l luto told at the Pro- I vincial Council Hall, on Thursday, 22nd of August. We have to acknowledge the receipt of a new Colonial Serial, to be issued weekly, from the office of Mr J. M. Baird, Sydney. It is intitled the "Pirate, or Black Mail levied upon all British, Continental, and American Magazines.'' It is a remarkably well got up work, and certainly carries out the spirit of its name to the fullest extent. It is intended as a magazine of light literatirre. The number before us embraces portions of the following works, viz. : — " Birds of Prey," by Miss Brad don ; the tragedy of "Pelarro Burdello," by Amelia B. Edwarls ; " Griffith G-aunt," by Charles Reade ; " The Deathbed Marriage," by Mrs C. F. G-ervy. The present number consists of sixteen pages -of closely printed matter. The price fixed is extremely small, being four shillifigs a quarter. It is a new feature in colonial literature, and we hope the "Pirate" will have a successful cruise. Mr K. Rose, Bookseller, &c, Tay and Dee streets, is the agent for Southland.
