Pending the repairing of damages caused by the late fire, Mr George Sibbin bas removed to Waitangi Store, next Mr M. Niccol's, Queen-street "Wharf. Mv Allan "West, the popular teacher of dancing, who some few months ng-o left Auckland for Sydney on account of his delicate state of health, has returned, looking remarkably well. Mr West, during his stay in Sydney, had an enormous number of pupils, and the notices in the Sydney papers fully justify tbe opinion formed by those acquainted with Mr West in Auckland, that he is a thorough master of his profession. Mr West has merely come on a two months visit ; but if sufficient inducements were held out, it is possible he might be prevailed on to make Auckland his home. One Hundred Pretty Young Ladies. — Wanted intelligent young ladies, from seventeen to twenty years of age, for the forthcoming Pantomime ; and it is a fact that four hundred applicants crowded to Convent Garden Theatre for selection. How different are we placed in the Colonies. The pretty girls are to be found congregating at all social gatherings, whether in town or country, enjoying themselves with no other object in view but that of improving the occasion. It is at these reunions that pretty and good girls are chosen for life companionship. They eat buns, drink tea and lemonade, and the song of praise is always sung in honour of Sharland & Co., who make the best Baking Powder in the British Dominions.

The following conversation was heard in a thirteen-and-sixpenny trousers shop in Queen-street the other day : — Tailor : " Have your trousers cut loose, by all means. You have beautiful legs for loose trousers. (Briggs is delighted.) The same size all the way up, you know." (Briggs, in imagination, wallows in that tailor's blood.) No impertinent allusions are made to a customer's continuations at Munro and Milligan's, in Hobson-street. They make clothes to fit anybody and everybody, and do not bother you about payment, acting on the proverb that " every ruickle makes a muckle." You can pay on the deferred-payment system, without distressing yourself, or sausing annoyance to anyone. Only try a suit. They have splendid tweeds.
