Education. — We refer our readers to a summary of the Education Conference recently held at Manchester, (which they will find in our fourth page,) taken from the London Spectator. As the the subject of education is now engaging the attention of our Provincial Councillors, we think the artiole may not prove uninteresting to those who may have that question under their consideration. X The Royal Commission on Prisons.— The Commissioners, Messrs. C. C. Haughton, and J« O'Neill, appointed to visit the different gaols of the Colony, havo terminated their investigation in the Province of Auckland. The Southern Cross says that Mr. Haughton had prooeeded to this Province in the ' Taranaki on the 4th inst., to examine the prison but as that gentleman did not laud here on Sunday week, we may expect to see him by the return of that vessel on the 28th. To Advertisers. — We clip the following from an American paper, and as the moral is good we give it to our readers to think over :— " You see, goods are like gals — they must go when they aro iv fashion and good-looking, or else a yoke of oxen wouldn't draw'em off afterwards. The man. that advertises most does most business, because he don't make one stock to lost one' life-time. I know a merchant in this district who has imported three different batohes of goods within a year from Europe, and now has nearly sold out again. How does ho and his partners get rid of so many goods ? They advertise more than all the others put together — that's the how. I will prove it. If you want to borrow money — if you, want to lend money — if you want a farm to rent — if you want to sell — Advertise. If your horso, pig, cow, colt, sheep, or oxen go astray, Advertise then right off, and not run a chanco of losing them altogether, or having to pay as much aa they are worth in charge for their keep. If you are a shoemaker, tailor, blacksmith, wagoner, or auy kind of useful mechanic, show people that you are not ashamed of being a mechanic, by advertising. If you keep an hotel, make it known. When people see a man advertise they know he is a business man. Tho world is full of folks who want. Some want to sell, some want to buy, and the one way to meet these wants, and to make money is to advertise. Advertising is like honesty — it pays well if followed up. Merchants think nothing of paying forty dollars for one sign with nothing but their name on it. Well, what do you think of having 8,000 dollar signs a week in a newspaper ? In this you can show your whole establishment to the country every week. y If yonr wise, just rub your eyes, And go to work, and Advebtibi." The Daily Southern Cross.-— We perceive by our lato files of this jonrnal that Mr. Croightou has resigned the management of the Daily Southern Cross^&nd the name of " R. H. Eytou" is now iv the imprint. A complimentary dinner was given to Mr. Creighton oq the 4th inßtant, the Herald remarking that " the proceedings wero of an agreeable oharactar, those presuut expressing strongly tbo kind feelings thoy eutertaiued for their guest; feelings in whioh wo ourselves heartily join ; and whether Mr, Creighton remains in Auckland or curries his abilities aud talent into uew fields, wo wish, hiinevovy happiness aud, success."
