We recommend readers to our columns where will be found announcements from Messrs Hetherington and Airey, of Shortland, and Messrs Cloonan and Marshall of Grahamstown. OtiK American cousins are in high ((lee over Dr Tanner's fast and back him too keep lent against the Pope himself. We lost an umbrella at the Academy last May, and its " kept lent" ever sinoe. We'll back that against the boat faster that ever turned out in the land of tin watches and patent tack hammers. "These is on exhibition ;at Mr Lawless' shop, Brown street, a handsome piece of kauri gum mosaic constructed by Muster Thomas Keren, whose ingenuity does him the greatest credit.

The Home correspondent of the Herald, speaking of the Duke of Manchester says the Duke has in the most unpretentious raainer tuken up his time with questions exclusively relating to the colonies. If some of our political prophets are correct, a duke is something to look at, ag the days of the order may be said to be numbered. An able young republican, T. P.

We wish him succees in bis undertaking.
