She had the material at hand to work on, and the oppor tunity has been takan, until she Ands Versult in the magnificent position she now occupies."

The latter sentence in this quetation is exceedingly funny, and again shows what profound knowledge of this colony and its affairs is possessed

He had had large transac large commissions, supplying the Marina with lamps. He had his wife and niece in the Colony and they were in a small way of business in D'Aguilar Street. The matter was adjourned last Saturday to furnish particulars of the character of the applicant.

Mr. Fuchs had made a sworn statement before Mr. Shepherd that he was a native of Austro-Hungary, born at Euda- Pesth, and was legally married to his wife.
