SEWING MACHINES MADE P,Y THE BRITANNIA COMPANY, COLCII EST KR, ENGL A. ND, i combine the best parts of the. best Machines (avoiding their defects) with some recent special improve ments, which no other Machine possesses. Every make of Machine, however far removed from excellence, professes to be hotter than any other. Tho task of selecting a Sewing Machine is therefore rather a difficult one, especially if the purchaser has no knowledge of machines, and has no other guide than the representation of various dealers Many people convinced of the advantage to bo derived from using a Machine for needlework do not yet possess one because among so many thoy are unable to satisfy themselves aa to which make is the best. As a practical man and an Engineer allow me to point out some of the advantages of these Machines. They will do all that any other Machine .will, and do it Utter, including Hemming, Quilting, Felling, Cording, Binding, Braiding, Stitching, &c, &c, with a perfect stitch alike on both sides. They are fitted with an improved break, which prevents the Machine turning the wrong way, and so entangling and breaking the thread. They make loss noise than most Machines, and is tho nearest possible approach to noiseless. They arc very simple, and will run for years without costing a shilling for repairs. Every Machine is AVarranted. Machines lot out on hire, tho payment for which goes towards the purchase. Machines of other makers taken in ex change. Repairs properly done.

LOSS OF POWER, SPERMATORRHOEA, INDISCRETIONS OF EARLY YOUTH SYPHILITIC DISEASES. IN all the above cases, arising from errors and. the yielding to the, passion, no time should be lost to at once arrest the progress of disease. DR. L. L. SMITH has devoted himself for twenty years in the colony to the practice of this branch of his profession, while previously, in England, he was the pupil of, and practised with, the celebrated Dr R. T. Culvcrwell, the only medical practitioner who ever exclusively adopted this as tho sole branch of his profession. Dr L. L. Smith hereby informs the public that lie in the only lcjally-(£iiaVifiul medical man hi this speciality of his profession ; that others advertising are unqualified, and that, therefore, in pretending to be qualified are obtaining money under false pretences. Dii. L. L. Smith also warns the public against the quackeries advertising. If the taker of any of those advertised nostrums escapes with his life, or hissystem be not thoroughly and irreparably undermined by them, he may look upon himself as tho most fortunate mortal. Dit. L. L. Smith has been applied to by so many unfortunate broken-down young-old-men, utterly crushed inspirit, ruined in body, and filched in pocket, that he deems it a duty to publish this to the world. Those men and women who have boon the victims of unprincipled charlatans frequently seeknthat recovery which is often beyond Dr. Smith's co trol. When will the public understand that it is to thoir interest to consult a daily qualified medical man, how has mado this his sole study, rather than apply to a number cf ignorant impostors, who merely harp and prey upon their pockets and health ? _Dr, L. L. Smith has always stated that to warn the public of these quicksands is his chief reason for advertising. In all cases of nervous debility, lownoss of spirits loss of power, pimples on the forehead, lassitude, inaptitude for business, impotency, drainage from the system, and the various effects of errors of youth and blood-poisoning from diseases previously contracted. Dr. L. L. Smith invites sufferers to consult him, as ho has no hesitation in stating that no medical man, either here or in England, has had tho opportunities for practice and extraordinary experience which he has had. Therefore, those who really desire to be treated by one who is at the head of his profession in this branch of medical practice sh.tild lose no time in seeking his advice Nor should any one marry without first consulting him. ■ The Consulting Rooms are at 182 COLLINS STREET EAST . .

Election. j THE SUPERINTENDENCE ELECTION. ELECTORS OF THE PROVINCE OF AUCKLAND. O.PNTLEMEN,-It appears to me vJ« that it, has now 1 econie desirable that the con trol of .Auckland Provincial affairs should bo trans ferred to the hands of others than those by whom tho province has been governed during the past. With splendid resources in land, coiil, gold, iron, and other minerals ; with a climate unsurpassed by any in the world ; and with a sturdy and Industrious population of from (.0,000 to 70 000 people, who pay some ~300,000 per annum in t.xes in one shape or another for purposes good government, public works, &c., it is saddening to find that we as a province are not only making little or no advance towards pern itncnt pros perity, but that at many points we arc actually retro grading. I attribute this state of tilings to misgovcrnment, tho ill-judged expenditure of public money and ex travagance in the past, which have entailed upon the community grievous burdens in the form of public ' debts, for which interest and sinking funds have now fo be provided by oppressive tariff duties and other forms of taxation. So far has this state of Hiinps already gore that at i the pros- nt moment the Provincial authorities of ; Auckland are at their wits' end, and find it exreed ingly difficult and embarrassing to provide adequate [ means even for such an Important object as educa j ton. | This Province is placed at a further disadvantage !by reason of the manner it has been dealt with ivy i the General Government in the expenditure of the j larce loan.', which were negotiated on the credit, of : the whole colony for purposes of Immigration and . Public Works. Although we in Auckland are. ■ chargeable wilh the re-payment of about one-fourth p part of these loans, and ,ilthough we contribute in about that prop rtion towards providing interest, and sinking fund,; thereon, yet owing to want of united action by our Superintendent and Representatives only a very small portion of the borrowed money has I be.-n employed for our benefit. Our Provincial Revenue for the ensuing year will j probably be under £50,000, and out of this sum wo I have to maintain our Police, Gaols, Hospitals, Lunatic Asylums, Sick and Destitute. Harbours, &c, which cost some £33,000 per annum. After paying the Provincial salaries and Departmental expenses on the present scale little or nothing will therefore remain for aid to Road Boards, for Bridges. Ferries, Tram ways at the Goldflcliis, _c, and in view of this state of things I believe it is our first duty to reduce these Provincial salaries and Departmental expense;; to an amount proportionate to our altered means. Our next duty is to require at the hands of our re presentative:; that they unite in demanding from the Assembly and tho Government that justice shall no longer be denied to this province in the matter of the expenditure of the money borrowed upon our crfcdlt. conjointly with that of the rest of the colony. T dosiro to become Superintendent of the Province that 1 may bo in a position u> give practical effect to tin' above views, and that there nwv be some com bined effort liu'.de to tiling about a different state of things that morevitility may be imparted to our in dustries, such as Mining. Agricultural pursuits, Trado and Pommel-c. and Manufactures. If, however, you ;re content to go on as rf yore, and elect » politicirin of the old Auckland school, I think you will find when too Into, that ad dili.m-il burdensome taxation must speedily be resorted to. You will also probably find that tho old system of denominational education will be introduced into this province, a system so often ns-.d us an i'slrnnunf of favoritism to one party and of opprcs-Pm to another; a system so productive of -eel-tin je.'i'c.usies and bickerings that it has bei-ii abandoned by more advanced communities in favour of a national secular educa tional system. f*lin ild ton restore the old rer/ime to power you will also find that the control of the Police will soon be transferred to the Provincial authorities to be used as it was before, for party or political purposes During this election contest I have been treated with unfairness by a portion of the Auckland Press, but as many of you are aware tin: persons whom these papers represent are interested in reintroducing and continniiiß the state of things which has led the province into iis present position. P.v the abuse of political power and patronage in the past they them selves have been unable to prosper, while tho pro vince has so languished that it. can hardly bo in a worse position, and it now r- sts with yon electors to say by your votes whether yon will entrust your affairs for another period of four years to the' old hands, or whether you will rive me your confidence and support, th.it I may with the aid of a well chosen Provincial Council be enabled to inaugurate a change towards a better anil healthier era. If you d me the honour to elect me I will apply myself diligently and strenuously to effect retrenchment in Provincial salaries and other Departmental expenses; to obtain just cc for the Province at the hands of the General Government, and to provide permanently for the mc-vns necessary to carry out a system of education without resorting to any such obnoxious and unjust measure as the present Education Tax.

It is safe, having a lire test of never less than 125"' Fahrenheit. 2nd. It is finished by distillation, without treatment i with acids and alkalies as the last process. It is | double distilled for the purpose of removing tho acids and alkalies used in the manufacture of all Petroleum Oils, but which cannot be removed except by their process, 3rd. The Downer Oil being chemically pure, burns with moro brilliancy of ilame, consuming less oil for a given amount of light. It.rives less trouble, because the Lamps require less frequent filling, aid tho wick | loss frequent trimming 4th. Although tho Downer Oil costs more per gailon than other oils, it is, in the end, cheaper for the con sumer, becauso it gives a greater amount of light with consumption of oil. Your grocer may tell you he has on sale an oil in nality equal to Downer Oil. Don't believe this story. Downor Oil is quoted and known all over the world as the highest standard brand. This reputation has been achieved by its having been made by a better process and moro costly than others, which process has been adhored to from the beginning, without re gard to expense.
