H. Malcolm, iitquire Copies of Prospectus and Forms of Application for Shares can be obtained from tbe Broker*, Provisional Directors, or from any of the Branches of the Bank of New Zealand in this Colony, until the 1 6th day of December, 18S0, at which date all applications must be in the hands of the Brokers, when the lists will positively be closed and sbareß allotted. Specimens of Caswell Sound Marble can be seen at any of the Museums in New Zealand ; the Chamber of Commerce, Wellington ; or on application to any of the Officers of the Company. In introducing this eligible investment to the notice of the public, the promoters desire to state that the Company's rights comprise the best, moßt avaiUbie, extensive, and perhaps most valuable Marble deposits in the known world, at all events, iu the South em Hemisphere. This is sufficiently proved by Caewell Sound Marble securing the first 1 prize at the late Sydney Exhibition against Italian Statuary and other valuable varieties. They, also wish to dwell upon its known i certainty and non-speculative character, the ultimate success of this venture being now well established. The lowest quotation ior this Marble is 12s per foot and ranges up to £5. Large blocks are, however, much more valuable, some pure white ttntuary, without flaws, realising as much as £20,000 sterling . in Europe ; the ordinary price for a block suitable for a life-size human statue being about £1000. The present cost of producing this marble by manual labor only is about 2 s per cubic foot, f.o b. These figures may appear incredible, but tbey are nevertheless absolutely correct. Thus, taking the co«t of 1 production as stated, and the very lowest wholesale quotation at 12 per foot, gives the apparent! v fabulous minimum rate of 500 per \ cent profit. It is, therefore, do visionary 7 matter, ob these are leiding commercial lines , and the values well-known, the facilities of prcidue ion, shipment, high quality of product, giving a vast advantage over any like property in the world. We will also venture to predict that the value of the Company's thares will increase at least 300 per cent within twelve months of issue. Kef erring to consumption of these commodities, it is also enormous. The consumption of Marble, Portland Cement, and Lime in tie Australian Colonies alone during the last twelve months has been £2,872,600 sterling, and rapidly increasing. Caswell Sound is a commodious and safe barbor for tbe largest vessels in all we-therß, the works of the Coropasy being situated at the water's edge. The Government of this Colony has also promised to favorably consider special grants and concessions in aid as soon bb the Company is successfully floated. For iurther particulars le othtr minerals found at the Sound, copper, coal, gold, &c, also tbe manufacture of hydraulic cement, lime, &c, together with scientific, professional, Government, and otber n potts, with details of the objects and intentions of the Company, we reter to the Prospectus, which can be obtained upon application to any of the officers of tbe Company or from the Company's Agentß, the Bank of Hew Zealand, NeUon, or at any 1 of "their tranches in this Colony and Australia,
