OUR SUPPLEMENT.

Some lit' le time ago we announced that •we had made arrangements for supplying .our readers with a GRATIS WEBKLY SUPPLEMENT OF FODBTEEN COLUMNS. At that time we made arrangements with a large publishing firm m Melbourne to send r.s monthly parcels, the first to commence with a running story, entitled "In the Folds of the Serpent." Through some unaccoun'able b'ur:derthe two first batches have gone astray, and we yesterday received the third, but unfortunately not with th> commencement of the story. Our first resolve wa* not to issue them, but seeing that i there are twelve other columns of the most select readable matter," we < ltered our mind, and conspqnently on next Saturday, and each succeeding one, OUR REGDLA.B SUBSCRIBERS will BE PRESENTED with TWENTY -FOUR C LUMNS of READING MATrKR.
