Mr Mine, the editor o£ the Times—the man who really wields "Jove's thunder,"—is stated! to be njuclrout of health. 'His medical attenv; dants and his friends are anxious that he should retire fir a time from his arduous labours, and; seek rest aud change of air; but he declares that, with the Parliamentary session just coming, this is impossible, and has determined to stick to his post; ' Tho squat dumpy building in Priutiug-house Square, known to visi*, tors as "Ike 'Times office," is now but a small, part of the gigantic who'e.

Marshall's, who is determined to sell with the Smallest Remunerative Profit, and is certain the. public will not find his ' ' goods surpassed,, if cqiiaHe-U ; for va!us 1»y auy- house ia New Zealand.'
