SPECIAL NOTICE. FUGITIVE OFFENDERS. 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- willing 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 not 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 ia circulated in the Colonies.

Description :— Age about 35, height 5 ft. 8 or 9 in., moustache, rather round- shouldered ; dress, dark frock coat, and high silk hat.

REMAINING PORTION AT HALF- COST. Extract from " Morning Advertiser," Oct. 28 :— " Our readers will no doubt be glad to learn that a party of gentlemen, mostly City merchants, have opened establishments in London and the provinces for the immediate disposal of | Bankrupt Stocks, whereby the general public may obtain Clothing ready- made or made uj> 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 in 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 wind- ing up the estate of a debtor is avoided. The title of the Com- pany registered is the Bankrupt Agency Association ; the ONLY London addresses are 128, Cheapside, and 77 aud78, High Holborn ; Provincial Branch, 34, High- street, Birmingham ; other branches are shortly to be added, of which due notice will be given. Con- signments of all descriptions are regularly roceived by the Asso- ciation, the difference in the prices to ordinary shops we under- stand is calculated to be about 40 per cent. A visit is recom- mended. Anyone may inspect the stocks on offer without being compelled to purchase." HAMMOND and POPE. STOCK OF CLOTHING. J. I>. MIEBS. STOCK OF FANCY GOODS. SMITH and NICHOLLS. STOCK OF HOSIERY. THE GREATEST CRIME. " A noble ship is caught in a cyclone ; the torn sails, the shattered rigging, the deck swept by furious waves, alt proclaim that shipwreck is close at hand. ' We are lost! We are lost!' is the despairing cry of many hearts. But the captain does not despair. He holds his place with heroic calmness, his eye is upon the compass, and guiding his ship with practised skill, cheers his crew with the promise of soon bringing them to safety. Suddenly a man rushes upon the compass, tears it from its pedestal, and throws its overboard. ' Fool! Coward! Traitor ! Madman !' are the epithets shrieked by all around. Now, indeed, they may well despair; they are without guide, without compass, upon the wide ocean, in the midst of a hurricane. The struggle is soon over. In a few minutes the gallant ship strikes upon a reef, and only one man is saved to tell the story of the wreck." " An absurd story!" you exclaim; " an incredible crime." Listen again. " An aged mountaineer returning to his home, which was perched like an eagle's nest among the rocks, was painfully climbing the path which over- hung the precipice. It was night, but he had a lantern to light his way, and a staff to support his tottering steps. But see ! Someone approaches him stealthily, snatches away his staff, and extinguishes the light in his lantern." " Horrible! too dreadful ! happily such an action is too bad to be possible." And yet I know of a crime still greater, involving results more terrible than the shipwreck, more cruel than the death of the old man— the crime of seeking to rob mankind of the Word of God, the only compass, the only support, the only light for the soul- EPPS'S GRATEFUL- COMFORTING.
