Porter and Co., at a price, ranging from lixpence to half-a-crown, and io supply them solely with material for the purpose. Should any Waterbury need repairing or adjusting, take it at once to the agent. If you take it to any other jeweller, or attempt to open and adfust it yourself, you cannot succeed, and in this cast, should you seek to have it set right py the agents, a uniform charge of Fl YE fHILLINGS will oc made. On no account frill any cheap imitation watches be repaired, inconsequence of many owners opening their watches fvr experimental purposes, ice have \resolved to double the charge for repairing all fuch, because a great many parts are necessarily strained and broken through imperfed knowledge in the operation.

The London correspondent of the Auckland Star, in his letter of the sth April, says — " i take some laidofs to myselC that long before ' Mr Barnes of New York' jumped into popularity, I recommended the story to my colonial newspaper "tends as a suitable one for serial publication.
