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 POLICB GAZBTTB, 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 whioh 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 GAZETTK is circulated in the Colonies, APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT. tion of OLIVEK HOWARD COOPER, whose appre- METROPOLITAN POLICE DISTRICT. 1.— Convict Office. — For larceny ( furnished apartments) and failing to report— License Holder WILLIAM CARNS, alias WM.

METROPOLITAN POLICE DISTRICT. 114.— The attention of police is called to proceedings of a person calling herself COMTESSE DE ROSSI. She is a Frenchwoman, but able to correspond in Eng- lish. She writes to noblemen and gentlemen, especially to officers in the Army, representing that she has some- thing of great importance to communicate, and inviting them to a personal interview. From this interview nothing results but a request for money. She studiei the announcements of approaching marriages, and writes generally to the lady concerned or her relatives, intimating that she has matter of importance to com- municate which may affect her future life. In short, she is an unprincipled adventureis, whom it is very difficult to bring to account owing to the reluctance of persons, with whom she corresponds, to appear in proceedings against her. Officers of the Army and county families might with advantage be warned against her. ] 15.— The attention of police is directed to the proceedings of 3 men who represent themselves as the " New Guinea Exploration and Trading Company," and insert advertisements in Scotch newspapers, stating that men are wanted to join an expedition to New Guinea. They generally succeed in obtaining replies from applicants, and forward printed circulars and addressed envelopes from London, stating that on receipt of 12 postage stamps, further particulars will be forwarded. 1st, JOHN McDOUGALL, age 24, height 5 ft. 9 in., complexion fair, moustache light; dress, black jacket, trousers, and vest, black tie, stand- up collar, hard felt hat, wore large square sleeve- links, apparently set with bloodstone.— 2nd, ago about 24, height 5 ft. 8 in., slight, complexion fair, moustache light; dress, Scotch tweed check jacket, dark trousers and vest, imitation lace boots, hard felt hat.— 3rd, age about 30, height 5 ft. 6 in., stiff build, complexion pale, hair and mous- tache ( heavy) dark, slightly lame right leg; dress, dark tweed suit, soft felt hat ; carries a cane. Enquiry has been made at the addresses given in London, which are usually small shops where letter* are received, and there is good reason to believe that the object of the advertisement is to obtain money by fraud.

There is no truth in the Bible that Satan would so much like to blot out. For more than C. OOO years he has been trying to persuade men that God does not love them. He succeeded in making our first parents believe this lie, and he too often succeeds with their children. What prompted God to give up Christ ? What prompted Christ to die if it were not love ? " Greater love hatli no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend." Christ laid down Ilis life for His enemies, and while they derided Him on the Cross, He prayed, " Father, forgive them," there was nothing but love in His heart. \\ e are told of the length, breadth, depth, and height of His love. Columbus discovered America, I AT- ' ^ know of its mountains, rivers, forests, and Mississippi Valley 1 So many, of us have discovered something of the love of God, but there are heights and depths that we do not know. If we study His word, we find His love is unchange- able. Just before the Lord Jesus left His disciples, one of whom should betray Him, another deny Him, all forsake Him ; it is recorded " Having loved His own, He loved them unto the end." ^ ot only unchangeable, His love is unfailing : and another thought is, He loved us long before we ever thought of Him. If you ask me why God should thus love us, I cannot tell. In John xiv. we read, " If a man love Me he will keep My words, and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him " and make our abode with him." \> ould to God that " our puny minds could grasp this great truth that the Father and the Son so love us that They desire to come and abide in our hearts, not tarry for a night, but come and abide with us. Let this love of God be shed abroad in your hearts by the Holy Ghost to day ; it will drive away dark- ness and gloom and sin, peace and joy will be yours.
