Turks, who are ignorant and fanatical. The former, however, have an unenviable reputation for double-dealing. The revenue amounts to 14,000,000 piastres (£110,666), j while the total disbursements for govern ment, &c, amount only to 1,000,000 piastres (£8333), so that tlie possession of C. is a clear annual gain of £103,000 to the Sultan. The shipping of the island is trifling, com prising only 5 or 10 vessels, of 50 to 100 tons, aud from CO to GO small;.? bursts. The imports in 1858 amounted to £57,939, and the exports to £131,110. The chief towns of O. are Nicosia, the capital and seat of the Turkish Government ; Famagosta, Larnica, the residence of the European consuls ; and i,im.is3ol." SEAPORTS AND CHIEF TOWNS? Larnica, or Larnaca, is a town on the S. '.oast of Cyprus, 25 miles E.S.E. Nicosia, on a marshy plain, about one milo from the shore, and consisting of an upper and lower town. The latter,' commonly called the Salinas of Larnica, is chiefly occupied by warehouses and bazaars, and by the houses of the merchants and traders, seamen, porters and boatmen ; a convent, a mosque, and a chapel, in the upper town are a cat-isdral and a convent. Tho houses in both have a mean appearance, and the streets aro commonly in a filthy condition, whicli, together with the pestiferous exhala tions of the neighbouring marshes, render Larnica an exceedingly unhealthy place of residence. The intermediate space between the two towns is occupied by gardens and enclosiuos. amongst which many founda tions of ancient walis ar.d other remains are .net with. Thero is here s. dilapidated citadel of a square form, iv which a few guns are kept for saluting vessels. Water is scarce ; what supply there is is conveyed into the town by an aqueduct. The road stead is open, but the ground gcod. Anchor age to be had in from 20 to fc. fathoms. The trade is limited ; exports —wheat, cotton, silk, wine, and drugs: imports—rice and sugar, from Egypt :'cloth, hardware, and colonial produce, from Malta, Smyrna, &c. Population, 6,000. Limasolis a. smail town on the S. side of tho island of Cyprus, ;_ few miles N.N.E. Cape Gi.ttoJ ova large plain, about one mile distant from tho sea ; lat. 34° 41' 12" N. ; Iciig. 33 J 1' 45" E. (B.) ; distinguished by a whito castle, which stands on the shore. It cimsisti. of some miserable mini houses, inhabited by Greeks aud Turks ; but has a commodious harbour, though exposed to the S.E. winds, and a small trade in wine. Ancient Limasol [Amathus], celebrate.' for its temple oi Venus and Adonis stood at, a little distance N.E. from the modern town, but no vestige of it now remains. Baffa [anc. Paphosj. a seaport town ou tho S.W. coast cf tho island, occupies the site of the celebrated Paphos of antiquity, where Venus is fabled to have landed after her birth, having sprung from the froth of the sea uear this island. She was wor shipped by the inhabitants, aud had 100 altars at Paphos ; hence her titles of Cyprian and Paphian Queen. The numerous ruins of palaces and churches everywhere to be met with, boar evidence of tlie splendour of the ancient town, and present a striking contrast to the squalor and wretchedness of the modem one, which consists of an assemblage of miserable houses,with a few Greek churches and mosques. Iv the neighbourhood are a mimber of excavations made in tho rocks, and inhabited by Turkish families. Beautiful crystals aro found in the rocks near Baila, cailod I-aIT:. diamonds. The country around I, fertile, yielding large crops of com., besides cotton and silk. The bay is large, but. shallow aud unsafe. Ceiina, a town a..a port, island Cyprus. N. coast, is situate amidst plantations oi oranges, lemons, .dives., date:., and other fruit "trees. All tiie uncultivated parts of the plains aroirad. aro covered with bay, myrtle, and lentiscus. On the W. side of the town arc extensive quarries, among which are soma catacombs—the onty remains of the ancient Cerinia or Ceryneia. The harbour is small Mid very indifferent.

HITCHEN' CELEBRATED BLOOD J REST OR. -.-. A NEVER-FAIjuINU i.____MEDY. For all Skin Deseases, Rheumatism in all Its forms, such as Gout, Neuralgia, Sciatica, and Lumbago, likewise cures Chronic Dysentry, and is a valuable remedy as a Family Medicine for purifying and cleansing the blood. No bottles are genuine unless bearing the Pro prietor. Signature. HAMILTON BROTHERS. QuKEN-STREET, WHOLESALE AGENTS. Sold'by Mr J. Edson, Chemist, Queen-street Mr A. G Hughes, corner of Shortland and Princes-street; Mr Robinson, Chemist, Par nell ; Messrs Hia & Hudson, Victoria-street: Mr. E ALLWEim, Otahuhu ; Mr. FALLWB-I-1., and T. R .Gil___man, Onehunga. T ;• stimonials can be scon on application to the Proprietor, at his residece, top of Wake fleld-street. The strongest recoi-imendnon for this me d cine is its ownintrinsic worthns shewn by the marvellous euros effected on well-known and much respected members of our community. The best proof of this is to be found iv the large number of testimonials received by the maker thaukCullv acknowledging the restoration of health experienced by using this panacea. At the request of those Salready cured, the proprietor now brings the "Blood Restorer more prominently before the Public, in the sure and certain liope that this utilising of the gifts of a merciful Providence will prove a great blessing to suffering humanity, by curing long seated diseases aud averting threatening sick ness. The want of a reliable remedy for Rheuma tism, &c, has loug been felt as one of the -createst calamities of the age. While other means and medicine have been proving them selves vain and delusive this remedy has been 3ilently and steaddy unloosing the cruel fingers of disease, and freeing captive man from that deadly embrace. The people are now requested to givo tho Blood Restorora fair and impartial trial. Aud .s>e Praprietor would have it dis tinctly under _. tood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c. are due entirely to the medicine's wonder ful offoct upon tho blood, by its cleansing, puri fying, and invigorating system. Impurity and inactivity of the Mood is the cause of most siclrunas and pains. Altera course of this medicine, blood vessels—which havo become, as it wero, choked up with unhealthy matter—become exhilirant with pure scarlet life-blood, flowing naturally along, and impart ing in its course vigour and strength to the en ire system. „„ , N.B,— Country Settlors will find in Hitchens Blood Restorer an almost complete aubstitute for tho Doctor. It arrests Colds, allays E verp, and builds up thosystem. Children toko it with vvondcrful results. No household should bo without it. „.,.-„,, ANOTHER MIRACULOUS CURE.

Dear Sir,—l have to thank you vory much for tho benotit I have received through using your valuablo Blood Restorer, and as a warning and guidance to others, would make known the particular!, of my illnosa and euro. Somo months ago I was taken ill with pains in tho back, sup posodtobo lumbago. So far from boing bene litted by tho att.i-.daneo of medical mon, I «row rapidly worse, aud tho pain becamo agonising. One day my husband had in his hand a portion ol' an old Auckland Evenixg Stau. containing your professional announcement of tho medicine ami its cures. Tho paper was of a back date, and tho advertised agent's address, aChomistin Vfollea.ey-sl.reet. Ivly husband applied to him for Hitchens' Blood HosLoror, but tho Chemist used such illnaturod remarks to diosuado us from testing tho virtuo of tho medicine, that wo folt thero was somo spite at work, and dotor mined more than over to givo it a trial. Tho pleasing result of tlio trial was, that after taking it i_ week, I felt wonderful roliof; beforo many bottles wero taken, I was not only liberated from a s'ek room, but felt in norfect health; appotito was restored, strength re gained, and I have to thank God that you woro at hand to provide tho moans of my rapid cure, and euabio mo once more to attend to my household duties.
