As evidence of the fact, they were awarded the prize gold medal at the Groat Exhibition 1862, and at tho 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, SUing, 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.

TO THE ELECTORS OF INVERCARGILL /"I ENTLEMEN, — In answering the Sixty-three " electors who recently honored me with a requisition to come forward as a candidate for a seat in the Provincial Council, I gave a very brief explanation of my views on the most prominent questions of the day. It seems desirable, however, that I should express myself more fully both to them and the whole constituency of Invercargill. Chief amongst the causes which tend to the prosperity of a young province, is facility for bond fide settlement on the waste land. lam entirely opposed to soiling it in large blocks of " thousands of acres " to any speculator who may choose so to invest his money. Free selection and deferred ■payments appear calculated to effect the objects we should have in view, and would give to the settler of small means an opportunity for securing by his industry a home for himself and family. The New Land Act will be a serious drawback to immigration, and any legitimate action which may be taken by the Provincial Council in order to obtain its repeal, would meet with my cordial support. A proportion of the proceeds of the land sales should be Bet apart for immigration purposes generally, and I would assist persons of small means to settle in Southland, without reference to the part of Great Britain to which they belong. I look on the present " Education Ordinance " as nearly worthless for doing the work required of it, and contend that it is indicting a great injury on the Province, by the preposterous assessments which have been made under it. I would vote for a measure setting apart, for educational purposes, a sum from the ordinary revenue. The Roads' Ordinance does not answer satisfactorily, and I would vota for its repeal. I consider that the man trunk roads should be made and maintained by the Provincial Government, and the bye-roads by District Road Boards, having power to levy rates to be subsidised by Government. With reference to the Town Board, I am of opinion that it is a good and useful institution, but that it requires remodeling. I would support a bill for that purpose, assimilating the constitution of the Board to the Municipal Councils, which have been so effective in Australia and elsewhere. I should be altogether opposed to municipal affairs being placed in the hands of the Provincial Government. . I \rill not pledge myself to' vote for any paritioular person as Superinteindeat', but will "\rnfc
