FROM THE Otago Daily Times. "Inveniam viam aut faciam" MONDAY. JANUARY 19, 1863.

SIXTY YEARS AGO

We commence (he extraction, in our present issue, from the Sixpenny Mtujazinv of lb? new novel, "Lady Audley’s Secret,” by Miss Bnmton. Since the production cf "Adam Bede,” there is probably no novel that lias 1 excited so much attention as "Lady Audley’s Secret.” and the different styles of file two books are strangely indicative of the change that has come over the public taste. . . Although somewhat unusual to publish a novel in a daily paper, we me induced to do so by the fact that many of our readers would be unable otherwise to seo.it. and not to know a novel of (he kind is ‘To argue one s self unknown.’’ We mentioned some time since that a few specks of gold were found by men engaged in levelling Bell Hill. On Friday, Messrs Pierce and Parkham’s men, who are excavating the Town Board’s section on Hie west side of the Cutting, also found specks in what appears to be a continuation of the same vein of whitish clay ns that in which the Bell Hill men found the exciting particles. When the fact got talked of on Friday there was soon an inconvenient cluster of persons in that part °‘ the Cutting, and the police officers on duty had to remonstrate for some time before a clearance was effected.
