SPECIAL NOTICE. It will greatly facilitate the transaction of business, if in all telegrams to Great Scotland Yard regarding criminal matters, the name and official designation of the sender are telegraphed. 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 is circulated in the Colonies.

ALSO SUITABLE FOR THE ARMY AND RAILWAY SERVICES. " Fear not Therefore; Ye are of more value than many sparrows."— Luke xii. 7. " Five of us for two farthings Are sold in every mart. And yet not one forgotten Before the Father's Heart." But ye are bought with precious blood, Than gold more costly far, Then ' Fear not,' ye more value Than many sparrows are." The sparrow on the housetop, Or chirping at the eaves, Speaks holy words of comfort To him whose soul believes ; Speaks holy words of comfort Although the heedless ear Sounds ODly light and trifling Can in its chirrup hear. " Fear not," - this is the burden For ever of its song ; " Fearnot,"— though God seem slow to right, And man seem swift to wrong ; " Fearnot,"— the mighty Father, Whose Hand is over all, Counts every hair upon your heads, Sees every sparrow fall. Nothing to Him is little Who is Himself so great, His Hand is large for every need, His Heart for every state ; " ' Fear not,' " but only trust Him, ' Tis thus the'sparrow sings, And nestles, where we all should bide, Beneath th' Almighty wings. Ye blessed little preachers ! My grateful heart receives Your lessons from the house- tops, Your precepts from the eaves ; And, resting in their shadow, I thankfully rejoice In every sound of life around To hear my Father's Voice. And when my soul is drooping, And when my heart is low, Arid when I am untrustful. And know not where to go,— I'll ask no better teachers Than ye must ever prove, To him whose heart is wakeful To hear the Voice of Love.
