Public Notices. PROSPECTUS OF THE "RIVERTON WEEKLY TIMES." Head Office :— Rivebtok. (Agents for Invercargill •• Times Oj^w.Tay.street.) TN announcing the establishment of a Journal to _L represent the interests of the Western District of the Province of Southland, its pro* moters would take this opportunity for briefly explaining the objects they have in view, together with the course of action they propose to adopt. It will bo their aim to co-operate with the two local Journals which have already been so successful in forwarding the development of the natural respurces 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 tho first port of call in the direct line of communication between Victoria and the other produce markets of the Southern Hemisphere; this fact will receive the special attention of the " Riveuton Times," and no effcrt will bo lost to impress upon the Provincial Government the rccessity 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 goldficlds — which have proved the richest yet discovered—will be brought prominently forward, so that 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 appears to be the current belief that the lead of the gold follows in the direction of tho 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 bo taken advantage of for placing tho merchants of this district in a position to compete with traders in other parts ot the Province as well as those located in neighboring Provinses. The Proprietors of the lliverton Times need not remind those to whom they must look tor countenance and support, that the carrying out of their object efficiently will cutnil a very lar^e expenditure, and that, therefore, they expect advantage will bo taken <if their advertising columns to an extent that will warrant them prosecuting their endeavors to a successful issuo. At the same time, the Proprietors would beg leave 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 lliverton Times will be published on Satukday, the 2nd January, 1864, and weekly thereafter till further notice.
