• Publication. IJE-W" 2sT O "V":E L FOR THE SUPPLEMENT. In Next Saturday's "STAR SUPPLEMENT" Will be PUBLISHED the OPENING CHAPTERS of a very remarkable nnd successful Novel by that King of Story Tellers, JAMES PAYN, Author of " By Proxy," " Lost Sir Massingberd," " Walters Won," " Under One Roof," " 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 Or, THE LOSS OF LADY PARGITER'S DIAMONDS! And it WILL RUN OVER SOME MONTHS IN THE "SUPPLEMENT." THU SVOBV deals with the fortunes of a certain Matthew Helston, confidential assistant to a Rrea J firm of London jewellers. Oue of tills gentleman's duties is to carry backwards and forwards between tho shop and the residence of n baronet's wife—Lady Pargiter—.l ; magnificent AiaxaonA parure worth £30,000. One winter's night Helston receives the ! diamonds about 1 a.m. from Lady Pargiter, who*lias been out at a party, nnd—dis- , appears. The diamonds are missing, so is the assistant, and the rest of the story 1 describes the frantic efforts of relatives, police and detectives to elucidate the mystery. The plot is one of the most extraordinary and exciting ever brought out by a skilled ; writer of fiotion, and the interest is kept up even to the final chapter. i OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 1 Mr. Henry Labouchere, M.P., writing in Truth, says :— ' ' I hold Mr. Payn's now novel far tho best, tho ablest, and the most ingenious of all his works. . . , Mr, Payn may bo said to havo catered With success for everybody. . . . Take It 1 how you will, Indeed, hli book is an uncommonly good book, and I shall be surprised if It is not one of the most successful of the season.' ' The British Quarterly Review, the weightiest and most reliable of tho English ■ Literary Periodicals, says :— : 'This Is one of the bost stories Mr. Payn has written. . . . This novel Is not only clevor, but is full of kindly insight and faithful representation. We can recommend It as a lively, sparkling picture, or rather series of pictures, of London life on various levels. . . . It is In all ways a clever and an entertaining novel.' j Very few works of fiction satisfy tho Saturday Review, and yet that most satirical of . weeklies overflows with compliments re "The Confidential Agent." Listen to this :— ' Mr. Payn's fertility of invention and frcshnoss of stylo nro wonderful. . . . But perhaps ' what is moat pleasing in his books is their sparkle. Ho in continually making somebody say a good thing, and somebody eleo tell a good story. • . • Wo can recall very few of Mr. Payn's books in which there are happier sketches of character in more agreeable varloty.' 1 '. The Spectator's notice too is lnudatory." It says :— 'Mr. Payn has always been remarkablo for ingenuity, and he has so carefully cultivated It during his career aa a writer of fiction, that he is now without a rival in it. , . . Mr. Payn relieves the artifice of his stories with a good deal of human nature, generally ola genial kind, and is gifted with humour of tho irrepressible order.' FURTHER NOTICES. ' Mr. Payn's latest novel is a very good example of his stylo. There is nota page in it that is dull, The reader, once ho begins the story, must go through it. ... But there ia another and a higher merit in " A Confidential Agent. It has a plot whloh is so ingeniously developed .that the reader does not penetrato tho secret of it until the author divulgos tnat secret himself. . Mr. Payn, no doubt, sets himsolf to write a well-devised story in a brisk fashion; and ho has succeeded. No novel is moro likely to be read with pleaaur^ by the majority of tho readers of such literature as this.'— Scotsman. ' We can hare no hesitation in saying that this is Mr. Payn's best novel. Tho plot is porfect, j tho characters admirably distinct, the handling characterised by remarkable flrmnoss. . . .The situations arc admirably given, and one or two scenes are Una Cpoclmcns of dramatic writing. There is not a character in the book that is not carefully drawn, and tho novel has not a dull pago in It.'—Nonconformist, ' A wonderful specimen of story-tolling. Interest kept up by a masterly narrator. English 1 pure and unaffected; humour of tho most lightsome and kindly sort.1 — Vanity Fair. '. "'.'-.■ i i ' Mr. Payn will certainly add to his reputation by his latest work of fiction. . , . It is un- ' necessary to say that a book by Mr. Payne is well written; ho thoroughly understands how to > make all ho writes eminently readable, and certainly fow who take up " A Confidential Agent" will fail to co through all three volumes with eagerness.'— Manchester Examiner. ' The pathetio passages of the book are very touching, tho melodramatic really thrilling, and ' tho ultimate discovery with respect to the diamonds is a capital comio surprise.'— Examiner, ; ' Mr. James Payn is one of the few novelists who improve. It is only recently that he has '' come into tho front rank, and success has not mado him careless. " A Confidential Agent" la a well-contrived story, full of interest, and sufficiently intricate to mystify the reader. . . . Mr. Payn's irrepressible good humour carries the reader very easily through his volumes. Even his jokes are generally good enough to raise a Bmilo. One reads " A Confidential Agent" with some thing of the same sort of pleasure that one feels in meeting an agreeable person in society. Mr. Payn does not put his book into circulation to instruct or to attaok, but to amuso and be pleasing to his readers; and he certainly possesses the art, which is as necessary In novel-writing a3 Lord ' Beaconsfleldhasjustsaidit is in conversation, of clothing grave matters in a motley garb,'— Athenceum. • Tho nature which Mr. Payn displays in his works of fiction is of so uniformly genial and pleasant a condition that one may be certain on taking one of them up to bo amused and interested. ... A story writton throughout In-Mr. Payn's brightest and most easy manner. . . . Amy has been treated in Mr. Payn's best manner and with his most sympathetic touch.'— Daily News. 'A personage In Mr. Payn's book quotes with approval the statement that, "when one is much failed, one henceforth wants nothing but a oup of good wine, a good bed, one's face to the table, and a good deep dish." The quoter suggests the addition of tobacco. Wo think that a volume of Mr. Payne s own works would be by no means a bad addition even to this addition, and that then tho proviso "when one is much failed" might bo omitted. Certainly "A Con fidential Agent," with or without tobacco, makes a most pleasing intermezzo between tho good bed and tho other delights described in the quotation. The race of modern novelists appears to havo suffered a kind of Arißtophanip bisoction. Some of them can tell interesting stories, and some of them can write their books in decent literary style: but the two gifta meet in the same person but rarely. Mr. Payn fortunately found his other half at on early age. and is now quite smooth and round and satisfaotorv '— Academy.

The present Mercury Boy Saw Mill Company, now in full operation, has agroed to dispose of their Freehold and Leasehold land and bushes (having an area of 44,000 acres), Mill. Plant, Rooms, Tramways. &0., for the sum of £16,000, also tholr Logs now cut, Goods In dtoro.

Notwithstanding the great extension of- tho tlmbor Industry of late years, the demand for kauri timber, both In New Zealand and in the Australian colonies, is yearly increasing, and the fact of an oxtenslve systum of publio works being about to be commenced In New South Wales, will tend to largoly increase tho con sumption of this ataplo. Tho advantages possessed by Moroury Bay us a Bite for a sawmill are unsurpassed in the colony, Having a harbour aoooßßiblo in all woathors to the largest class of traders, freights can bo obtained either for the aonth or the AiiHtrallou colonies, at a trifling advance upon tho Auckland harbour rates, thereby olfoctlng a uavliii: of tho freight wild from mill to Auck land, and also the expenses and charges attond lngltH rO'Shipmcnt The area of land hold by the Company comprises about U.QOO acres, and Is variously estimated to contain from 159 to 200 millions foot available kauri timber, and tho facilities for netting It to tho mill in safety nro not oxoolled by any oatablishment in the North Island. Daring tho past few years tho demand for dressod kauri haa largely lnoreanod, and, not wlthotanding the great Incroivno of maohinery ÜBOd for Its production, the domand is still un satisfied, and this company believe that the profit upon tho manufacture of rough tlmbor will bo largely supplemented by producing droasod timber for shipment. It may be mentioned that a locomotive ongluo for tho tramway, and an additional planing machine, have boon ordered from tho manufac turers, and may beoxpeotod to orrivo shortly. A list of the varlons freehold and leasehold properties of tho company, with tho estimated quantity of kauri, and the terms of lease, may bo seen at tho olllco of tho company.
