Sold either in original packages or in parcels, to suit the trade. CLYDE STREET, Opposite Neyr Custom House. Sl-to WHEELER and WILSON'S LOCK-STITCH SEWING MACHINES, for families and manufacturers, are vastly superior to all others. As evidence of the fact, they were awarded the prize gold medal at the Great Exhibition 1862, and at the Paris Exhibition 1861. These machines make the tight lock-stitch — the only one which cannot be ravelled — with the rotating hook — a great improvement on the shuttle, as it is far more durable, and not near so liable to get out of order. Wheeler and Wilson's machines work equally well upon silk, cotton, woollen, and linen goods, braiding, binding, cording, tucking, hemming, filling, gathering, seaming, quilting, performing every species of sewing with a speed of from 1,000 to 12,000 stitches per minute ; makes a regular, strong, and beautiful stitch, exactly the same on both sides of the fabric sewed ; is simple in construction, easy of management, and elegant in appearance. At the present REDUCED PRICES there is no excuse for having shuttle machines. Reference given to dressmakers, tailors, and manufacturers of clothing who have had the machines in constant use for years. Show-rooms, 186 Bourke-street east, up-stairs. Illustrated circulars sent post free. LONG and Co., sole agents for Australia and New Zealand. An Agent wanted for Dunedin. 44-82 Election Notices. TO THOS. M. MACDONALD, ESQ.

Gentlemen, — I thank you for tho honor you have conferred upon me, and have much pleasure in permitting myself to be nominated for a seat in the Provincial Councils. With regard to my political views, I may mention, that I think the speedy settlement of the country districts by an industrious population, and the . opening up of internal communication, are in this Province, as in every other colony, of the first consequence. The new Land Regulations, by raising the price of land, appear to me more likely to retard than to facilitate the attainment of these objects. I shall therefore, if elected, give my support to any measure having for its end the reduction of the increased price of land. I regard the present system of assisted immigration as unsound, and totally inapplicable to the condition of the Province ; unsound, inasmuch as no inducement is held out to the immigrant to settle ; and, inapplicable, because the Province cannot now afford to pay in money a proportion of the passage of immigrants whose settlement is uncertain ; a system by which the agricultural class of immigrants who pay their own passages hither may obtain land free of cost, but upon conditions which would ensure their settlement among us, would, I think, conduce much to the prosperity of. the Province, and therefore would receive my support. I Should, if elected, assist ha any effort which may be made for removing the burdensome taxation under which the inhabitants of the Province now suffer. I shall be happy on a future occasion to give you any further information with, regard to my political views, wluc_; you maj desire. I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, :. Your obedient Servant . THOS; M; MAODONALD.
