SPECIAL NOTICE. It will greatly facilitate the transaction of business, if in aU telegrams to Great Scotland Yard regarding criminal matters, the name and official designation of the. tender 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 POLIOK 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 Oflfrce 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 POLIOK GAZETTE is ciroulated in the Colonies ' is sought for conspiracy and forging the labels, Ac., of Messrs.

ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED IN ALL LONDON : ESTABLISHED 130 TEARS. THE BIBLE IS TRUE. The first historical account of a battle is in Gen. xiv. A great Elamite invasion took place under Chedorlaomer. Except in the Bible nothing was known of either Chedorlaomer or Elam in those ancient times, and sceptics have doubted the truth of the story. But the ancients engraved their histories on stone ; and stones have turned up which entirely confirm the sacred history, and show to us that the Bible is true. . . , , The Hittites are spoken of as a mighty nation. They are ranked with the kingdom of the great Solomon, and are mentioned as a powerful people a hundred years later. But nobody ever heard of the Hittites being a mighty nation. But stones have been discovered which prove that the Hittite Empire in those very times extended from the Euphrates to Asia Minor. The Bible is true. Bead the fifty- third chapter of Isaiah. Notice how many and how minute are the predictions it contains. It reads like a history of events which had actually taken place. We see there the sufferings of Christ, and His great atoning sacrifice. And yet that chapter was written seven hundred years before Jesus died, it was written and preserved by the Jewish people, the enemies of Christianity, and yet every little word is fulfilled. The Bible is true. If you would have an unshaken faith, think less about yourself, your good doings, your happy feelings. Ponder the Word of God. He speaks by His Spirit to the very heart. When the Holy Spirit seals the word on your heart, or in your inward experience, you taste the sweetness of the salvation which is in Christ, then you will not be moved by the sneers of sceptics. I have no doubt, said a poor woman, " that gentlemen like you can argue more cleverly than a poor body like mo ; but you will never convince me that honey is not sweet. .
