Miscellan eous. PROSPECTUS OP THE "RIVERTON WEEKLY TIMES." Head Office :— Rivbbton. (Agents for Invercargill •• Times Office, Tay street.) TN announcing the establishment of a Journal to X represent the interests of the Western District of the Province of Southland, its promoters would take this rpportunity for briefly explaining the objects they have in view, together with the course of action they proposo to adopt. It will be their aim to co-operate with the two local Journals which- have already been so successful in forwarding the development of tho natural resources of the Province, and in advancing its claims to a fair and equitable measure of Legislative consideration, without which its material advancement never can attain to the permanent footing its numerous capabilities are so well adapted to secure. At the same time, such co-operation will always be conducted with a primary regard to the Western Dictrict of the Province. The Harbor of Riverton has a geographical position that constitutes it the first port of call in tho direct line of communication between Victoria and the other produce markets of the Southern Homisphere; this fact will receive the special attention of the " Riverton Times," and no effort ■will bo lost to impross upon the Provincial Gqve ; rninent the necessity that exists for having it immediately placed upon a footing that will recommend it to shippers generally as a port of discharge. The advantages Riverton possesses as affording the shortest and easiest access to the Wakatip gold Golds — which have proved the richest yet discovered —will be brought prominently forward, so (hat every inducement will be afforded for Riverton and the Western District generally deriving the full extent of advantage to which its relationship to the Wakatip District entitles it to sustain. As it nppoars to be the current belief that the lead of the gold follows in the direction of the Western boundary of tho Province — while this Journal will be careful to lend every aid to the furtherance of the pastoral and agricultural interests, it will not fail to be watchful of every movement, whether Provincial or otherwise, that may have for its object the development of the mineral resources. The latest, local, commercial, trade reports and price lists issued by the Home or other colonial markets, will be carefully selected, so that every opportunity will be taken advantage of for placing the merchants of this district in a position to compete with traders in other parts of the Province as woll as those located in neighboring Provinces. The Proprietors of the Riverton Times need not remind those to whom they must look tor countenance and support, that the carrying out of thoir object efficiently will entail a very large expenditure, and that, therefore, thoy expect advantage will be taken of their advertising columns to an extent that will warrant thorn prosecuting their endeavors to a successful issue. At tho sauiD time, the Proprietors would beg Wye to call the attention of the Merchants and Traders of Invercargill and other places to the favorable medium this journal will afford tor opening- up a connection with the residents of the Western District of the Province. The first issue of the Riverton Times will be published on Saturday, the 2nd January, 1861, and weekly thereafter till further notice.
