POSTAL PLAN.
We hare seen the outline of a very elegant map and postal plan about to be issued in this city. The work exhibits a map of the colony in the centre, with all the telegraphic lines and postal routes, giving distances from Auckland, and a mass of general information. Around this map is grouped a list and time-table of the departure of mails from and to every place in the province, the information being authoritative. And around all are little squares of advertisements which are expected to defray the cost of the publication, as the issue is to be gratuitous. As the plan is of a very large size, got up in the best style of mounting, on ca 1;co, with varnished surface rollers, &c, and will really be a most ornamental piece of office furniture, the undertaking is a very spirited one. The issue is guaranteed to be 300, two being given to each advertiser, and some 150 to be presented gratuitously to the Post-office authorities, to be hung up in the post offices over the whole province. The map cum Jpostal plan issues from the press of Messrs. Jones and Tombs, and we have no doubt will attain great popularity.
