BEGS respectfully and sincerely to thank his numerous friends for their patronage and support the many years he has been in business ; but to offer thanks in this way to those by whom he has been supported is scarcely sufficient to convey an adequate acknowledgment of his gratitude for the extensive patronage he has received. From various causes he is compelled to removed to another more flourishing colony, whore he hopes with their good wishes and his own exertions to do better than in this (he is sorry to see it) fastly diminishing community. 11. 11. has now commenced SELLING OFF his large Stock, at less than cost price. At the expiration of a month from this date the remaining portion will be offered by Public Auction, of which due notice will be given.

A CHALLENGE!

I CHARLES ASHBY, late of the Parish 5 of Yaxly, in the County of Huntingdon, England; but now of Shortland-street and Mechanics' Bay in the City of Anckland : — Do hereby challenge any man in Australia, Van Diemen's Land, or New Zealand, to dress a Single or Pair of French Burr Millstones to time and neatness, for ONE HUNDRED GUINEAS. Umpires to be chosen on deposit of the Stakes. August 10th, 1852.

TO THE ELECTORS

of the

CITY OF AUCKLAND.

f^ ENTLEMEN,— A desire having been VJ" expressed that the Candidates for the City should state their views with reference to some of the subjects which may be discussed ; the following are mme — I am averse to interference with con-

science on points of religious belief. I am in favor of cheap land ; but inasmuch as the Provincial Council cannot vote on the subject, and does not possess any control or power, I do not see how a change can be effected, except by representation to the Government. If elected, I would cheerfully unite with other members so disposed in a temperate, conciliatory, and respectful representation to the Government, setting forth the prudence of conceding reduction in the price of land, as a means of inducing persons to come to and continue in the Province,' and also as being in

many other points of view beneficial. As to retrenchment of expenditure, my opinion is, that none but necessary and efficient officials should be employed, and that those should be fairly and liberally paid. Government, to be responsible, should have the appointment and control of its officers. I do not think that very frequent elections are desirable, either for electors or representatives. It is well to choose good men and to keep them. In addition to other objections, continual agitation implies distrust, and is not complimentary to the discernment or integrity of the respective parties. With regard to tlie Municipal Franchise ; the chief objection appears to arise from the prohibition of voting, or of being a candidate, for that Ward in which a man has property. This probably is a fair ob-

jection. Without entertaining the least disrespect or unkindness to those connected with the Southern Province, I believe its connexion with this Province has been injurious to the latter. Separation therefrom may hereafter form ground for grave consideration to the proper parties. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Yours very respectfully, Tiios. H. Bartley. Auckland, 9th August, 1852.
