Blackbirds and minahs are more numerous in Wellington this summer than in any previous season, says the irW, and fruitgrowers arc complaining bitterly of their depredations. The birds have evinced a great partiality for plums and nectarines. A writer the other day described the process by which a prosaic order for hemp is transmitted from London to Manilla:—" You write your messagc,you pay for it at the rate of nine shillings a word, you take your receipt and go about your business. But what happens to this mcssagi ? The clerk in London rattles his key; the dots and dashes of the Morse alphabet echo in Paris; Paris calls Marseilles; Marseilles speaks lo Briadisi or Malta; Brindisi summons Port Said; Port Said signals Ihe watcher on the ' barren rocks of Aden;' Aden clicks to Bombay; Bombay wakes up Madras; Madras sends a current under its surf-lieatcn shores aeross Ihe sea to ' where Chinese thrive ' in Pciiang; Pcuang passes the word lo Singapore, tho island of the lion, the southernmost point of Asia; from Ihe centre of Singapore go the dots and dashes to Ihe little while house on Cape St. James, at the mouth of the river Saigon, Ihe French failure of CochinChina; Cape St James tells the operator in Hong Kong; Hong Kong cares nothing for the typhoon raging in the most stormy ocean of Ihe world, but calmly orders Manilla todo your bidding; and at last a brown faced 'mestizo,' speaking Spanish, with a little smoking cap on his head, possibly with alighting eoidc under his arm, and certainly dressed only in a pair of trmvsers and a llowing while shii't, carries your order for hemp through the earthquake scarred streets, and takes a receipt for it in a ' chitbook.'

When the lime arrived, and he was asked if he had got his character, the man replied "is T o, but I have your.-, and I'm not coming."

It is curious to note the very large place occupied by the " Czar's idea "in the proverbs of the liussian people. Here are ut few of the more characteristic h'ussian proverbs, which may be taken as distinguishing the Czar from the rest of mankind :—A Czar, if he were a leper, would be regarded as clean. Kven before a blind Czar, one must bow. A tear in the Czar's eye, costs the country many handkerchiefs. The Czar's voice has an echo even where there are no mountains. When the Czar snuffs, (he people sneeze. One of the most cruel and crucifying pains mankind i s afflicted with, is undoubtedly toothache.

Early in the year Mr Smith admits to a partnership in his business, a commercial gentleman who has long been associated with the London buying for To Aro House. To thoroughly reduce and prepare the stuck previous to the partnership stocktaking, sweeping 1 eductions will be made in all departments. The slock must be reduced by £15,000, and will be offered to tbo purchasing nublio at most tempting prices, Heads of families, storekeepers, s- ttlcrs, careful housewives, young and old, rich and poor, alike will save iieaps ot money by reserving their purchases for this great partnership sale, which commences on Friday, •lth January, 1833, at Te Aro House. In these times ot taxation and bad Government, when no man knows what will be the nest move, or how soon the country may have to lilo its schedule, it is well for individual citizens to keep llwr weather-eye open, Get as much as you can for your money, io that if the crash does come you may be able to hold your head above the universal dolngc. ltemcmiicr, tho school commences on Monday, and the boys must look nice.
