PROSPECTUS OF THE LAKE WAKATIP MAIL, A 81-WEEKLY NEWSPAPER. HEAD OFFICE, QUEENSTOWN. IN announcing tlip forthcoming issue of a Newspaper, designed to represent tat? inte 2ts and to become the organ of t' c irrportpnt district fro n which its name is taken, the proprieto : would guard themselves from pr isin'j too largely in the outset of their experiment. Aware of the arduous nature of their undertaking, and the amount of time and labor necessary to produce a journal, complete in its details, and worthy of the confidence of the public, they would prefer relying on the indulgence of their readers, for some short time, to making promises difficult of fulfilment. The main object, however, of the proprieiors may be briefly stated. — In the conduct of the Waetatip Mail their paramount care will be to render it e~ ?cially usi. ul and i''dispensab c to the mining '•o . unity, by faithfully a d diligen ly co 1 ecA a 1 rmblishing all fact^ bearing on their int^res^, and adv >ating all such measures as may apyv r conducive to the development of this branch of industry. As a cTiief means of following out this purpose with effect, the proprietors will establish a system of reliable correspondence, not only throughout New Zealand, but also with the sister colonies. Intelligence of the markets— prices current of commodities, eartaee. and all matters pertaining to trade, will be faithfully compiled for the immediate benefit of those merc'aarts and storekeepe s who are located on, or in connection with, the gold fields of this district. Whilst, therefoie, mining and commercial matters shall be the cb'ef o'ujeet of the Wakatip Mail, the proprietors promise that the higher aims of journalism shall not be neglecied, and that t-heir earnest advocacy will be at all times ready in the support of such measures as may appear likely to contribute to the social well being, and moral and political progress of the people. Arrangements will be made to publish special editions,"giving a comprehensive abstract of English and American news on arrival of the English Mail, irrespective of the ordinary issues of this journal ; and, finally, nothing shall be left undone which can impart additional interest or advantage to the subscribers. With these few assurances the proprietois will rest content; only expecting the confidence of the public in proportion as their exertions shall merit it ; and as one of the miin elements of support that can be accorded by the public is that of advertising, the proprietors hope that the public will avail themselves, to a liberal extent, of the advan-, tages now offered for this purpose, through the columns of The Wakatip Mail.

The First Number will be issued on Saturday May 2nd, 1863. PEARCE AND TAYLOR, Proprietors.
