Colony of New Zealand, sheweth — I (1) That your petitioners notice that an ! act entitled the Sharobrokers' Act, 1871. has | in tho last session of the Legislature been pass* i sed to be in force in the several provinces of | this colony as.and where jour Excellency may | see fit. I (2) That the provisions of the said act if I brought into force will bear so heavily and injuriously upon youv petitioners that they j cannot refrain from memorialising your Ex cellency against bringing it into operation until a session of the Legislature may afford ! your petitioners the opportunity of addressing i tho Legislature on the subjects, j (3) That meantime youv petitioners would ur^e the request on the following grounds — («) That the suggestions made to the Legislature in regard to such an act na i the present were made not by the body I of sharebrokers or representative men of such body, but merely by a few in dividuals who did not express in such suggestion the wishes of tho body of sbarebrokers carrying on business in Auckland. (Z-) That the Act will virtually be a great burden On the Auckland Province only as here and here alone at the present time as there any considerable number of brokers available to be effected by the Act. (c) That in other communities, centres o shave transactions equally and more ex» tensive than here, licenses as contem plated by this act have not been deemed necessary either for protection of tho public or the brokers. (d) That in the present instance the fees incident to the Act in question would deprive many respectable and honest men of a livelihood, and thereby oppress and injure many deserving citizens. (c) That the interests of the public are at present protected against fraud and criminality by other Acts available to punish the guilty. (/) That the impoaers of the Act would tend to destroy freedom of commercial intercourse and an open market. Your petitioners therefore feel that great, and greivous injustice and injury to many would accrue if the Act is at present brought into force in its present form, and they there* fore humbly pray that your Excellency will see fit not to proclaim the Act in the Province of Auckland, until your petitioners shall have an opportunity of memorialising tho legislature on the subject, and your petitioners, in duty bound, will ever pray.

TO BK PUBLISHED WEEKLY. First Issue on Saturday, the Gtii of January, 1872. The absence of a more direct medium for advocating the cause of Volunteering than the local Press has been a want long felt throughout the colon) of New Zealand, more especially as colonists are bound to look to this source for the future defence of their adopted homes. And as the time has at length arrived when the public are becoming sensible of the necessity that exists of its tho rough organisation and support, the establish* rnent of ''The New Zealand Volunteeb, Gazeetb and Colonial JTobces Eecoed" will be found to supply the means required. The following synopsis comprises tho subject matter to be contained in the " Gazette." All subjects of interest to Volunteers, including parade announcements, minutes of meetings, target practices, Government circulars, records of promotions and resigna* tions, &c, of officers and non-commissioned officers of the different corps ; regulations, rules, and all movements in connection with the various Eiflo Associations, together with, the latest extracts from the Home Military, Naval, and Volunteer Journals ; also a care fully compiled epitome of sporting intelligence from the intercolonial and European publica tions in connection with the " turf"; acquatic sporting news, and all healthful exercises and recreation. A correspondence column will be open for the expression of views relating to all matters in connection with' the Volunteer Force and subjects of Local interest. As an advertising medium the " Gazette" will be of the greatest importance to the several corps. All district orders and com pany parades are to bo inserted at a nominal rate of charge, and will of necessity bo brought more prominently under the notice of those mo3t particularly interested. Terms of subscription (in advance), 3s per quarter. Officers commanding corps are respectfully requested to send in their returns of intending subscribers immediately, as it will be necessary to form an approximate of the average number»required before the publication of the first issue.
