PTTBLIOATIONS WILL BE PUBLISHED SHORTLY, ‘ mHE SATURDAY ADVERTISER X AND WEEKLY .TIME-TABLE.’ The ‘ Saturday Advertiser and Weekly Time Table’ is, as its name indicates, a candidate for public favor on special grounds. It -will be started to supply an acknowledged want, namely, an advertising which, by being circulated m the chief cities of the Colony, will afford to advertisers a general circulation ■of their advertisements hitherto denied to them, except at the cost of advertising in half-a-dozen different newspapers. It will also confer a benefit on the travelling portion of the public by publishing the Time-tables of the various railways now in operation, the steamboat lines, and the stage coaches, as well' as the saifmg days of the various (ships engaged in the foreign and inter-colonial trade. Every effort will be made to render the Time-tables reliable, and the cordial co-operation of the Government and the owners of coaohes and shipping ia confidently expeoted. Party politics will be eschewed. It is intended that this sheet shall be generally useful and acceptable. Its columns will contain interesting extracts from recent publications, as well as original matter of a miscellaneous kind. Prominence will be given to every subject bearing on the prosperity or advancement of the Colony. Notes and queries will be added, a poets’ corner allowed, and an opportunity offered for the development of native talent. The paper will thus prove a pleasant companion on a journey, and earn for itself the title of the New Zealand Literary Miscellany. It has been remarked bow little the inhabit ants in one part of the Colony know of what goes on in other parts. This is especially the case as regards knowledge of land for sale. Every encouragement will be given te the General and Local Governments and land agents to enable them to diffuse information concerning land and other property for sale, so I that this paper may be of great importance to vendors and investors by drawing the attention of the latter to investments all over the Colony, at present locally , and limitedly advertised. It is our hope to be considered specially as a useful and reliable Weekly Land Circular. Agriculture, horticultuie, mining, and every department of local industry will_ receive marked attention. Notes on domestic architecture, with relative plans, will be furnished. Occasional illustrations of an instinctive character, specially adapted for the use of our Colonial youth, will bo introduced. In short, no effort will he spared to make the paper a welcome guest at every fireside. To advertisers generally, the paper, from its wide circulation, will prove to bo an efficient medium for their notices, especially those of particular |interest to strangers : such as the leading hotels, the principal establishments for the sale of special lines of goeds, places ef amusement, and general advertisements which it may be desirable to bring under the attention of the travelling portion of the community.
