Publication. NE"W NOV B L FOR THE SUPPLEMENT. In Nest Saturday's "STAR SUPPLEMENT" Will bo PUBLISHED the OPENING CHAPTERS of a very remarkable nnd ■ succoß3ful Novel by that King of Story Tellers, JAMES PAYN, Author of "By Proxy," " Lost Sir Masßingberd," " Walters Won," " Under One Koof," " A Grape from a Thorn," " Less Black than we're Painted," "From Exile," and other Popular Novels. The TITLE of the NEW WORK is A CONFIDENTIAL AGENT On, THB LOSS OF LADY PARGITER'S DIAMONDS! And it WILL RUN OVER SOME MONTHS IN THE "SUPPLEMENT." THB STORY deals with the fortunes of a certain Matthew Helstou, confidential assistant to a grc.a firm of London jewellers. One of this gentleman's duties is to carry backwards and forwards between tho shop and the residence of a baronet's wife—Lady Pargiter—a magnificent diamond parurc worth £30,000. Oue winter's night Helstou receives the diamonds about 1 a.m. from Lady Pargiter, who lias beon out at a party, and—dis appears. The diamonds arc missing, so is the assistant, and the rest of the story describes the frantic efforts of relatives, police and detectives to elucidate the mystery. The plot is one of the most extraordinary nnd exciting ever brought out by a skilled writer of fiction, and tho interest is kept up even to the iinal chapter, OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. Mr. Henry Labouchere, M.P., writing in Truth, says :— 'Ibold Mr. I'ayn'n now novel for tho beat, tho ablest, and tho most ingonious of all bis works. . . . Mr. Payn may bo said to have catered with success for everybody. . . . Take it how you will, indeed, his book Is an uncommonly good book, and I ahull bo surprised if it is sot one of tho most successful of the season.' The British Quarterly Review, the weightiest and most reliable of the English Literary Periodicals, says :— • This iB One of the boat stories Mr. Payn has written. . . . This novol is not only clover, but is full of kindly insight, and faithful representation. Wo can recommend it OB a lively, sparkling picture, or rather series of pictures, of London life on various levels. , , . It is in all woj-b a clever and an entertaining novel.' Very few works of fiction satisfy the Saturday Ecuicw, and yet that most satirical of weeklies overflows with compliments re "The Confidential Agent." Listen to this :— 'Mr. Payn's fertility of- invention and freshness of style aro wonderful. . , . But perhaps what is most pleasing in his books is their sparkle. He Is continually making somebody gay a good thing, and somebody elso toll a good story. . . . We can recall very few of Mr, Payn'a books in which there are noppier sketches of character in more agreeable variety.' The Spectator's notice too is laudatory. It says :— 'Mr. Payn has always been remarkable for ingenuity, and ho has so carefully cultivated it during his career aa a writer of flotion. that he is now without a rival in it. . . . Mr. Payn reliorcr. the artifice of his stories with a good deal of human nature generally of a genial kind, and is gifted with humour of the irrepreeaiblo order.' s FURTHER NOTICES. ' Mr. Payn's latest novel is a very good example of his style. Thore is not a page in it that is dull. The reader, onco ho begins the story, must go through it. ... But thoro 1b another and a higher merit in " A Confidential Agent. It has a plot which is so ingeniously deyolopod .that tho reader does not penetrate tho secret of it until the author divulges that secret himself. Mr. 'ayn no doubt, sots himself to write a well-devised story in a brisk fashion, and he hassucceodod. No novel ia more likely to be read with pleasure by tho majority of the readers of such literature as this.'— Scotsman, ' We can havo no hesitation in saying that this ia Mr. Payn'a best noveL The plot is perfect, the characters admirably distinct, the handling characterised by remarkable firmness. . . .The situations are admirably given, and one or two scenes are flno specimens of dramatic writing. There is not a character in the book that is not carefully drawn, and tho novel has not a doll page in iW—Nonconformist, 'A wonderful specimen of story-telling. In teroßt kept up by a masterly narrator. English pure and unaffected; humour of the moatiightsomo ana kindly sort.'— Vanity Fair, ' Mr. Payn will certainly add to his reputation by his latest work of flotion. . ..It is un necessary to say that a book by Mr. Payne is well written; he thoroughly understands how to make all he writes eminently readable, and oortainly fow who tako up "• A Confidential Agent" will fail to go through all three volumes with eagerness.'— Manchester Examiner. ' The pathotio passages of tho book aro very touching, the melodramatio really thrilling, and the ultimate discovery with respect to tho diamonds is a capital comio surprise.'— Examiner, ' Mr. James Payn is one of tho few novelists who improve. It la only recently that ho has come into the front rank, and success has not made him careless. " A Confidential Agent" is a well-contrived stOT, full of interest, and suflloiently intrioate to mystify the reader. . . . Mr. Pam's irrepressible good humour carries the reador very easily through his volumes. Even his okes are generally good enough to raise a smile. One reads'! A Confidential Agett" with some ling of the same sort of pleasure that one feels in meeting an agreeable person in sooiety. Mr. 'ayn does not put his book into circulation to instruct or to attack, but to amuse and bo pleasing to his readers; and ho certainly possesses the art, which is as necessary in novel-writing as Lord Beaconsfleldhosjustsaidit is in conversation, of clothing grave matters in a motley garb.'— Athenaum. ' The nature which Mr. Payn displays in his works of fiction is of bo uniformly genial and pleasant a condition that one may be certain on taking one of them up to be amused and Interested. A story written throughout In Mr. Payn'a brightest and moat easy manner. . . . Amy has been treated in Mr. Payn's beat manner and withTiis most sympathetic touch.'— Daily News. 'A personage in Mr. Payn's book quotes with approval the statement that, "when one ia much failed, one henceforth wants nothing but a oup of good wine, a good bed, one's face to the able and a good deep dish." The quotor suggests the addition of tobacco. We think that a volumo of Mr. Payne a own -works would be by no means a bad addition even to thia addition, and that then the proviso "when one is much failed" might be omitted. Certainly "ACon dential Agent," with or without tobacco, makes a mostpleasing intermezzo between the good led and tho other delights described in the quotation. The race of modern novelists appears to iave Buffered a kind of Aristophanic bisection. Some of them can tell interesting stories, and some of them can write their books in decent literary style; but the two gifts meet in the same person but rarely. Mr. Payn fortunately found his other half at an early age, and Is now quite smooth and round and satisf actorv '— Academy. ■ BYOBOFT'S MADEIRA GAKEJ T7"ALENTINES 1 T7ALENTINBS 1 —— T T BYGBOIfT'S FRUIT CAKE I —~" <Paoked in TinfoU PapoDi The undersigned have MAT BB OBTAINKD FROM AM.

Tho object of the proposed Company is to pur chaßO tho Mill, Plant, Freehold and Leaaoholi Bnshes.&c.of tho existing Mercury Bay Saw Mil Company, and oxtoad tho bualuoss now bolni carriod on by thorn. The present Meroury Boy Saw Mill Company now in full operation, has agreed to dispose o their Freehold and Leaeohold land and bushci (having an area of 11,000 acres), Mill. Plant Rooms, Tramways, &c, for the sum of £18,000 also thoir Logs now cut, Goods in Store, Horsei and Bullookn at Coat, amounting approximate!] to £8,000, niukiug in all about £24.000,f0r wuioe TUKIII 3tIAHKIIOLDItRS UAVK AQHKEDTO ACOUPI PAVMCKT AS FOLLOWS!— 27,000 SuAius in this Company at 12s 6c EACH PAID UP, SAY £18,875, AND THK BALANOH in Casu as it ib recsivkd, thus leaving £7.00( of tho proposed pald-un Capital to be expended to further extend and develop tho business. Notwithstanding the great extension of the timber industry of late years, the demand foi kauri timber, both in New Zealand and in the Australian colonies, is yearly Increasing, and the fact of an cxtonelve system of publio work: being about to be commenoed In New South Walcß. will tend to largely increase the con sumption of thh staple The advantages possessed by Moroury Bay ai a sits for a sawmill are nnßurpoßsed in the colony, Having a harbour accessible In all woathors to tho largest doss of traders, freight! can bo obtained either for tho south or the Australian colonies, at a trifling advance upon the Auckland harbour rates, thsreby effecting c saving of tho freight paid from mill to Auct land, and also the expenses and charges attend Ing its re-ehipment Tho area of laud hold b; tho Company comprises about 41,000 acres, and la variously estimated to contain from 163 tc 200 millions feet available kauri tlmbor, ami tho facilities for getting it to the mill in safet} are not excelled by any establishment in the North Island. During the past few years the demand foi dressed kauri has largely Increased, and, not withstanding the groat lnorease of maohlnorj used for its prodnoiion, the demand is still un satisfied, and this company believe that the profit upon the manufacture of rough ttmbci will bo largely supplemented by producing dressed timber for shipment.
