Ma. Edwabd Lyndon will sell, this day, a number of canaries and pigeons.— -See advertisement.

Te Haroto.— The telegraphic station was yesterday moved from Pohui to the fortified post at Te Haroto.

Sheep. — An advance in price is quoted by the Auckland agents, but we understood that the sheep so sold were a very superior lot purchased here by Mr. Broadbent. Still it would appear that a better demand exists for sheep in good condition.
