SOMMER.VILLE, Secretary. Auckland, March 18. 1871. pIIONETIC S H O E T H A N D. Mr. W. MITCHELL intimates that he has com menced the formation of Classes for INSTRUCTION in PHONOU RAP E f V or Phonetic Shorthand (Pitman's system). Terms on application. The superiority of Phonography over eveiy other system of Shorthand is universally admitted, and, from its beauty and utility, i.c: daily becoming more established in popularity.— Camberwell Cottage, Bath-street, Parnell. CEOWN DISTILLERY, AUCKLAND. The CEOWJS DISTILLERY has fully established these facts—that Spirits can be distilled in Auckland equal in quality to those imported, that they can be produced at a cost to give a large profit (even selling, duly paid, at a price eqttal only to the duty on Foreign Spirits),—and that there is a ready sale and a daily increasing demand for the products of the Distillery. At the same time, it has become obvious that ad vantage .should be taken of the present excellent and abundant harvest to lay in an ample stock of grain, at a minimum cost; that a large quantity of Spirits should be made before next summer, the season least favourable for distillation ; that a large stock should be placed in bond to improve by age—the only want to render the Spirits unexceptionable; and that the Plant should be enlarged by an additional Still, and other minor improvements, especially with a view to make available the Sugar Beetroot, which can bo grown to so much advantage in this Province, and produces an excellent spirit at a small cost. In order to attain the greater success which the fully carrying out of this plan would ensure, addi tional Capital is required, and this it is intended to raise by extending the present Proprietary, and thus affording to those who have expressed a wish to partake in the undertaking an opportunity of doing so. With this view it is proposed to register the Com pany under the Joint Stock Companies Act, with a nominal Capital of £20,000, in 4,oooshares of £5 each. Of these, '2,000 will be taken as paid up by the present Proprietors as the value of the Plant and Business ; 1,000 will be sold so as to raise £5,000, and the re maining 1,000 Shares will remain the property of the Company, available for raising additional Capital should such a course be hereafter deemed advantage ous. Thus the whole of the Capital to be raised will be used for the promotion of the efficiency and the extension of the business of the undertaking. The amount on the Shares now offered will be re quired to bo paid up as follows: —10s. per Share on application, 10s. per Share on allotment, £1 per Share on the Ist of May, &\ per Share on tho Ist of June, and £2 per Share on the Ist of July next. Particulars, and an order to inspect the Distillery, may be obtained on application to Me. Cawkwjell, Vulcan Lane, to whom applications for Shares may be made. As soon as a sufficient number of Shares are applied §jl tft meeting of the Shareholders will be held in %tVji'to complete the arrangements for the Company. THE FINE ARTS EXHIBITION -TTTILLhe OPEN on THURSDAY and U EDAY EVENINGI-S, from 7to 10 o'clock.
