A case has come under the notice of the Editor, in which a person whose apprehension was sought in England, and who was described in the POLICE GAZETTE, gave himself up to the Colonial Police. The prosecutor declined to take any further action in the matter, but the case necessitated the dispatch of two telegrams, the cost of which had to be refunded by him. To avoid such expense, the Editor requests, that if there is reason to believe that a fugitive offender is likely to go to the Colonies, and the prosecutor is un- - wiUing to incur any expense, with a view to obtain his surrender, a notification be made in the communi- cation sent to this Office to the effect that the offender is net to be arrested beyond the United Kingdom. The necessity for the adoption of such a course will be apparent from the fact that the POLICE GAZETTE is circulated in the Colonies.

Description :— Age about 35, height 6 ft. 8 or 9 in., moustache, rather round- shouldered ; dress, dark frock coat, and high silk hat.

" WHAT THE BIRMINGHAM EVENING PAPER of SATUBD A. Y. Oct. 17, says : " The Bankrupt Agency Association ( Registered), which has just opened business in Birmingham, at the corner of High- street and Scot- land passage, notwithstanding its somewhat dispiriting title, appears to be an exceedingly useful institution. It is formed by manufacturers and merchants in all trades to dispose of bankrupt stocks as purchased by them of trustees in bankruptcy ; and both to creditors, who are anxious to realise as quickly as possible, and to people who are as anxious to get as much for their ready money as possible, the Association must be of immense service. ' Selling off a Bankrupt Stock' is an announcement which too often proves a delusion and a snare, the only connection of the stock with bankruptcy lying in the fact that the shopkeeper is trying to rush it off to avoid becoming a bankrupt. In the case of the Bankrupt Agency Association, however, the goods for disposal are all bona fide proceeds of bankruptcies, and really good bargains are as plentiful as ' the flowers which bloom in the spring, tra la.' Three stocks, at present advertised for sale, are to be disposed of at less than half the original cost." EXTRACT FROM " MOBNINO ADVERTISER," Oct. 26:— " Our readers will no doubt be ( » lad to learn that a party of gentlemen, mostly City merchants, have opened establishments in London and tbe provinces for the immediate disposal of Bankrupt Stocks, whereby the general public may obtain Clothing ready- made or made up to measure at a cost of about one- half its original value ; the principal object is to save many unnecessary legal expenses which always occur m cases of Bankruptcy. When a man becomes insolvent they immediately secure his stock and offer the same to the public at such prices that cannot fail to be realised^ into money forthwith, thus the long delay usual in winding up the estate of * u""" ~ mny registered is the lj leapside, and 77 and 78, High" Holborn; she . - 0 j — — ng up the the debtor is avoided. The title of the Company Bankrupt Agency Association^ the London addresses are 128, CheapsicT ' — "— — . — .. we understand is calculated to be about 40 per cent. A visit is recommended". Any- one may inspect the stocks on offer without being compelled to purchase.'' DAVID'S PRAYER. " David's prayer was,' For Thy Name's sake, 0 Lord, pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.'— Ps. 25,11. Satan tries to keep some away from God by making them think that their sins are too numerous and great to find forgiveness; but here the greatness ot the iniquity is made the plea for pardon. The worse the disease is, the more need there is of a skilful physician, and the more honour he will get by effecting a cure. Let none despair. Christ is a great Saviour for great sinners." " It is wonderful joy to know that God does nothateus on account of our sins ; but I think it is almost greater joy to know that He hates our sins for our sakes, and will not let our sins alone, but will help and encourage us— yes, and make us suffer anything to conquer them, ajid to become just and true and unselfish." " The surest evidence that we have profited by a sermon is that it has its effect upon us when we go forth into every day life. A minister was preaching, and dwelt at some length upon the abhorrence of the Lord for all false balances, weights and measures. He was talking with a market- woman the next week, and asked what she had remembered of his sermon. She made complaints of her poor memory, but added, ' One thing I remembered— I remembered to burn my bushel.'" EPPS'S GRATEFUL- COMFORTING. COCOA. S. AND H.
