A HINT TO PAPER MANUFACTURERS,--We copy
the following from a recent number of the New Zealand
Spectator and Cook's Strait Guardian, (Dec. 9,) published at
Wellington :—" We must apologise to our readers for being
obliged, from the unusual scarcity of printing paper in the
colony, to publish the Spectator on blotting paper. We are

may be true as regards the Duke of Shetland and Lady
Truro; nor is it at all unlikely that Mrs. Harry Erridge, the
lady who has remained so long abroad as to have forgotten
how to speak her own language, has also been drawn from the
life.

CALEDONIAN ASYLUM.—We are glad to understand
that the Anniversary Ban will be celebrated with more than
usual splendour; for though there have been co many urgent
calls, owing to the dearth prevailing in some parts of Scot-
land, upon the patronesses in extending the charities of pri.
Tate lite, they are determined by a well sustained benevo-
lence to aid the directors in maintaining this admirable in-
stitution in the fullest efficiency. It possesses peculiar claims
on the consideration of patriotic Scotchmen, and we trust
they will come forward with hereditary zeal, and contribute
to the furtherance of a beneficent and national object.
