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 APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT.

Six little verses at the end of Gen. xxv. puts the whole of this hasty— but irrevocable— transaction before us. A few impulsive words, a reckless choice of what the present moment made appear valuable, an illogical conclusion arrived at that because the present was slipping away from him, he would also let go of the future ; and then a pause. Years pass by and we hear of no allusion to this scene. But listen ! " Esau cri^ d with with an exceeding bitter cry." " Ye know how that aft r varr", . . . 1 e found no place of repentence ( or ' way to change his mind'), though he sought r, carefully with tears." Can so little have come to so much 1 In all the wc r'. d there are no tears like those, not for what God had taken from him, but for what his own hand had put away. The old, old question recurs for each one of us, This life or that ? The visible or invisible 1 The tinsel or the gold 1 And as we choose we have. The natural heart sets no value on the things of God. Esau's state of mind is oft repeated. The Israelites, we are told, " despised" the pleasant land; " despised" the word" of God; " despised" the Lord Himself.— Numb. xi. 20, xiv. 31, xv. 31- Those invited to the marriage of the King's son " made light of it."— Matt. xxii. 5. Above all, we are told, twice in one verse, of the Lord Jesus being " despised and rejected of men," " despised and we esteemed Him not," sold him for thirty pieces of silver, for one mess of pottage, for one day's pleasure, for one good bargain. And afterward 1 Heaven will seem attractive to all when earth is gone! Despisest thou the riches of His goodness ?" " Who so c'e piseth the wo: d h ill be destroyed." " Afterward came the other virgins, saying, Lord open to us." Afterward " Judas cast down the pieces of silver in the Temple, and went and hanged himself."
