ROBBERY AT GHISLIN'fI SEAWEED WORRs.—On
Friday sonic ingenious thieves contrived to effect so entry
into the works of Messrs. Ghislin, of 72, Hatton-garden,
patentees of algite and algaan horn, and to carry off some
valuable specimens of their manufactured goods. The
robbery was discovered by the police, who telegraphed for
Mr. Ghislin ; and on a full inspection of the stock, it was
found that the thieves had, with admirable taste, selected
several gold mounted riding whips and walking sticks
made of seaweed, containing photographic portraits of
the Prince and Princess of Wales, the fiat samples of
which had been selected by his royal highness for his own
use, and no duplicate of which has yet been issued to the
public. Should these articles be offered for sate, being an
entirely new production. they will be easily identified.
The prealsos were evidently entered by means of skeleton
keys.
CRIME IN NEW ZEALAND.—OUT last summary

contained particulars of a series of cold-blooded murder's
by a gang of ruffians on the west coast. Burgess, Kelly,
and Levy have been indicted and tried at Nelson for the
murder of F. Mathieu, one of a party of four men mur-
dered uu the Maungatapu Ranges. Upon that indictment
the three prisoners have been found guilty, and have been
sentenced to death. The principal evidence against them
is that of Sullivan, an accomplice, and was precisely to the
same effect as h s been already established. The grand
jury, amongst the bills they returned, found one for the
murder of James Battle, the old whaler, which included
Sullivan as a principal, as well as the three convicts ; but,
at present, no information bas reached the south as to the
course that is intended to be taken on that bill. Seldom
has the injurious effect of transportation of felons from
England to its dependencies been more forcibly illustrated.
Were it not for Britain's criminals, life and property
would ho absolutely safer in the Middle Island of New
Zealand than at home, for although New Zealand has
never been a convict settlement, the moral pestilence en-
gend.red in the criminal climes at home has broken out
here, and has exhibited its virulence in its worst form.
Whoever in England reads the frightful details of those
murders should remember that they are a consequence of
the transportation system, for no vigilance can prevent
occasional escapes from a convict settlement. The moral
health of the populations of Victoria and New Zealand is,
however, seen in the promptitude with which such cases
are met. —Otago Daily Times, Sept. 20.

(Advertisement.]—HoLLowAY's OINTMENT AND
PlLLS.—These wonderful productions have now become so appre-
ciated in every part of the world that they form a complete
household treasure : the worst cases of ulcers, wounds, and every
variety of skin diseases, for which so many remedies have been
tried without effect, readily succumb to their power ; they act so
miraculously upon the system as to be considered • complete
phenomenon in the healing art. For this reason they are advo-
cated by many modern practitioners after everything else has
proved unsuccessful. Thaw complaint. eveciaffy which affect
