printed, and used, or issued by the defendant, and
from Manny other way representing any medicine,
compounded by or for him, to be" Blood Mixture."
Mr. F. J. Clarke has issued a "caution," calling
attention to the above injunction,and announcing
his determination to proceed against all persons

ance of all legitimate and fair traders in thug,
course.

At a time when Mr. Joseph Arch is about
making a tour of inspection through America, to
Itscertain what will be the most suitable spot for
Agricultural labourers to emigrate to, we think it
will not be amiss to draw the attention of intend-
ing emigrants to a book entitled a "Handbook for
Emigrants proceeding to Adelaide, South Aus-
tralia," issued under the authority of the South
Australian Government, which has for its object
a description of the colony, especially showing the
peculiar advantages it affords as a field for emigra-
tion. The book gives a graphic account of the
peculiarities of both the soil and the climate, and
shows that the former is wonderfully productive.,
requiring hardly any cultivation. It states that
all the fruits that grow in England will grow in
the province; and that in addition to the fruits
that are grown out of doors here, such as apples,
cherries, kc., all the fruits that are grown in hot
houses in England will come to perfection in the
open air in Australia with a very small amount of
culture. We would, however, recommend those
, who intend to emig,rateto get the book for them-
selves, as it may be obtained gratis from Francis
I Dutton, Esq., 37, Great George-street, West-
minster, S.W., as we feel certain that to such its
contents will be found deeply interesting.

taken place in this town this week, of an interesting
character. The sales were held at the Talbot Hotel
ander circumstances somewhat new to property sales
held at hotels. Mr. Wooldridge, the auctioneer,
explained that some pemins objected to giving the

and that after conference with the proprietors of the
hotel, he won able to say that a sale room or private
room would be placed at the service of parties wish-
ing to hold sales at that honse at a cost of two
guineas, when it was proposed not to give the em-
ptily wine. At these two sales no wine was put upon
the table. The first sale on Monday commisod an
