Clk\m\<: PtTitoLM m Pites.— The pipes by wh.ch peti oleum is transported fiom the oil tcgioiia to the seaboard are cleamd by means of a stem twoand-a half toot long, having at its front end a (lupin agm mule ot wings, which can fold on oacli other, and thus enable it to piss an distinction it cannot leniove.

A Ntw Wood Filtkr. — In order to avoid the ntcibsity of using wood fillers of difleicut composition for light and d.iik woods lespeotnely, Mr Henry Hilts, of liidgewood, Kew Jersey, has lectntly patented a composition, of a tianspaiei.t natuie, foi ii»e on all woods indiUui curly It compiises fiiielypowdtied soapstonc or talc, finclypowduicd glass, and a suitable liquid \ohiclo of oil or varnish, the soapstonc enabling the opeiator to obtain a better polish than could be obtained with the glass alone. The patent points out the piopoi tions and nnnrer of mixing and applying the composition, which is intended to nnpait only sufficient colour on light woods to fully develop the giam, while sufficiently transparent to leave no perceptible maik of its presence on dark woods.

Lord Randolph promises harmony with all the Poweis, an imperial eonfedeiation foi the colonies, complete icconc lution with his " lush brethren," absolute st'ciuity foi the Indian Empire, and local self-goveinment for the country distiicts. On the other hand, the Toiies aic to oppose fiimly "the social rum" tinea toned by the Libeial programme. Lord Randolph says nothing as to the comp.native advantage of paring potatoes befoie boiling them, or subjecting them to the mellowing influences of hot water with their jackets on. This significant silence is calf united to impair the value of Loid Randolph's manifesto as a State paper. Messrs AY. T. Hunter & Co. will offer fo puh'ic compotaion, a choice lot of wethers o\crlincl Irom X.ipier, at the Ohaupo Yards on December Ist Mr John Kmo\ will offur for sale <U his m«rt on Siturdiy next, .1 qumtilj of furniture, the property of a gentleman leaving the district ; also, a double-seated express, waggon, bujgy horse, harntss, and a choice lot of wrll-broa pigs.
