HpHE time is rapidly ' approaching Trhen the - 1 - Electric Telegraph will be extended throughbu New Zealand, affording vastly increased facilities for 'communication between the various, cities and towns of the colony. < . '• , The position which Campbelltown (Bluff; Harbor) occupies as the first port of arrival and last of departure for the steamera carrying! Her, Majesty's English and Australian Mails, as well as its growing importance as a port of call for sailing vessels of large tonnage, arid. . the fact fchttfc it is the eoutheru tenavnua of the Now Zealand Telegraph System, and of the Railways already initiated in Southland, which; eventually will traverse the whole of the Middle Island, has induced us to establish at this point a GENERAL TELEGRAPHIC AGENCY. • The objects we have in view are threefold;: — Firstly. — Receiving and transacting all; Mercantile Business in which the telegraphic wire may be called into requisition. Secondly. — Supplying the Press throughout New Zealand with the latest English and Australasian Intelligence, including the state of Markets, Shipping, and General News from all parts of the Colonies. i Thirdly. — Transacting Telegraphic Business of a miecellaneouß character for the public \ at large. The marked success which has attended like j undertakings both in Europe and the Colonies, i when conducted with energy and intelligence, and the long experience of the projectors in mercantile business, and their thorough knowledge of the duties of a PreßS Correspondent, combined with a determination to devote their whole attention to the Agency, emboldens them to solicit public patronage. Arrangements are already in progress for the formation of a wide-spread system of Telegraphic Agencies tliroughout the whole of the Australian Colonies, in connection -with the " NEW ZEALAND GENERAL TELEGRAPHIC AGENCY." Tbe strictest Becrecy, together with promptitude and accuracy in all affairs entrusted to us, may bo relied on. Business will be commenced immediately on the completion of the Electric Telegraph between Dunedin and Campbelltown (Bluff Harbor). FITZGEEALD, BEYNOLDS & CO.
