New Advertisements. TO THE ELECTORS OE THE TURANGANUI DISTRICT. /GENTLEMEN, — Finding that the Pro vincial Council Will meet during my absence in England, I deem it my duty to place my resignation at your disposal. Owing to the Financial difficulties of the Province, I fail to see that more business can be transacted than the voting of official salaries and providing funds for the maintenance of Hospitals, Asylumns, Gaols, &0., even if the Abolition of the Provinces has not occurred by that time. In case you should consider it advisable to send some one to represent you (under those circumstances) at the next meeting of the Provincial Council, I leave my resignation in the hands of my brother (Mr. Randall Johnson.) During the short time I have had the honor to represent you, I have exercised my utmost endeavors to get the wants of the District supplied and its grievances redressed. I regret that the expenditure ;in your district, has not been so large as I could have wished, owing to the impoverished state of the Provincial Treasury. But I would remind you that the Provincial expenditure there (although small) has been greater, in proportion to population, .than that in any other district of the Pro vince. 1 This fact, I imagine, is due, partially, to the Press in your district having, from time to time, brought so prominently before the public the requirements and grievances, as well as the resources and advantages of the district; and I hope you will believe, that, probably, to some extent, this has been aided by my own exertions, which I need scarcely assure you have always been used in behalf of the district I have chosen as my adopted home. Thanking you for the confidence you have always placed in me, I leave the matter entirely in.your hands.

I have the honor to be Gentlemen Your Obedient Servant 403 JAS. WOODBINE JOHNSON. TO TIIE ELECTORS OF THE EAST COAST DISTRICT. /GENTLEMEN, — Having just returned from England, after an absence of nearly two years, I find that I am compelled, by private business, to go away again for a month immediately. This will unfortunately deprive me of the opportunity of meeting you at as early a date after my return to the Colony as I should have wished, to explain to you that it is my intention to Solicit your Votes to return inc as your Representative in the House of Assembly at the next election. I do not ask any of you to promise your support until you have had an opportunity of hearing my views on politics generally ; but, hearing that other candidates are already taking action, I have been advised by many of my friends to make it known without delay that it is my intention to come forward when the opportunity occurs. I therefore trust that you will pardon this short notice, and merely ask you not to promise your votes to any candidate until I return to the district and have an opportunity of meeting you all personally, when I shall be most happy to make known my views to you. Without doubt matters of great importance to the whole Colony will be discussed at the ensuing Session, and I therefore do not hesitate to offer myself as a CANDIDATE for this District in the event of a Generil Election taking place. I remain, Gentlemen, ! Yours faithfully, 430 PHILIP HARINGTON. BRADSHAW’S GUIDE TO NEW ZEALAND. THE extension of Railway communication, the consequent exceedingly rapid increase in the passenger traffic throughout the Colony of New Zealand, and the paucity of information —of a reliable character—now obtainable of the arrivals and departures of the various trains, coaches, mail, and other steamers, and all methods of travel, render the publication of some trustworthy and authentic record of reference an absolute necessity. The subscriber proposes to issue to the public a monthly “ similar —as far as circumstances will permit—to the wellknown *’ BRADSHAW ” of the mother country, containing Time Tables, compiled with every possible regard to accuracy, and from information obtained from authentic' sources only, of all Railways, Coaches, Steamers, &d;, &c. The projected publication will also contain full information regarding Postal and Telegraphic arrangements, General, Provincial, and Municipal Governments; Public Institutions, Banks, Insurance Companies, complete Descriptive, Itinerary, and, in short, will be made as replete with general and useful information as possible.

The want of a medium of ADVERTISING FOR THE WHOLE COLONY has long been felt by all commercial classes. The publication now projected will, it is confidently anticipated, fully fill that want, as it will be the first aim of the subscriber to produce the work at a price which must ensure its being accessible to the whole community. It is calculated that an issue of some thousands per month may be relied upon, which will be distributed throughout the entire colony. The advantages thus offered to advertisers must therefore be at once apparent. In submitting this Prospectus to the Public of New Zealand, the subscriber begs to give the assurance that every effort will be made to carry it out in its integrity, and render it proportionately as recognised an INSTITUTION in New Zealand as “ BRADSHAW’S GUIDE ” is in England. Terms of Subscription and for Advertising may be ascertained from F. J. PIESSE, Agent Gisborne. S. MEAD DALGLIESH.
