The position which Campbelltown (Bluff Harbor) occupies as the first port of arrival and last of departure for the steamers carrying Her Majesty's English and Australian Mails, as well as its growing importance as a port of call for ailing vessels of large tonnage, aiid the fact that t is the southern terminus of the- New Zealand [■ Telegraph System, and of the Hallways already I initiated in Southland, which eventually will traverse the whole of the Middle Island, has induced us to ( stablish at this point a GENERAL TELEGRAPHIC AGENCY. The objects we have in view are threefold : — Firstly. — Iteeeivirig and transacting all Mercantile Business in which the. telegraphic wire may be called into requisition. Secondly. Supplying tlie 3?i-ess 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. Thirdly. — Transacting Telegraphic Business of a miscellaneous character for the public at large. The marked success which lias attended like undertakings both in Europe and the Colonies, when conducted with energy and intflligen«c, and the long experience of tho projectors in mercantile business, and their thorough knowledge of the duties of a Press Correspondent, combined with a determination to devote their whole attention to the Agency, emboldens them to solic public patronage. Arrangements arc already in progress for the formation of a wide- spread system of Telegraphic Agencies throughout tlie whole of the Australian Colonies, in connection with tlie " NEW ZEALAND GENERAL TELEGRAPHIC AGENCY." The strictest secrecy, together with promptitude and accuracy in all a Hairs entrusted to us, may be relied on. Business will be commenced immediately on the completion of the Electric Telegraph between Dunedin and Campbelltown (Bluff Harbor). FITZGERALD & CO.

I BEG most respectfully to caution tho Australasian Public against purchasing Ointment and Pills sold in my name unless they have the English Government Stump ailixed to the same, on which . is onirraved, in white letters, on a red and dark ground the words—" HOLLO WAY'S PILL£ AND OINTMENT, LONDON." The same also appear in the water-mark of the Book of Direc : tions. lam informed that some parties are vending medicines which they are importing from the - United States at a low price, and palming them !. o!!'as being of my genuine manufacture. Some oi these spurious medicines have a label affixed to imitate the English Stamp ; so that much vigiJ lance is required in order to detect the deception by examining very minutely the Stamp and Label ailixed to the Pots and Boxes, sis likewise the color and thickness of the paper, as also to the printing of die Books of Directions. It is to be hoped that all who may road this CAUTION will "make it known amongst their friends. Information of any nefarious practice of the kind should bo sent tc Messrs. (JonaON a>"D Gotcjj, News Agents, Collins-street West, Melbourne ; or to me, direct, in London, v/lion tho noeußstiry shops will betaken in the matter. .-.. . (Sj/r.H'd) .. ■„'.;
