SEWING- MACHINES MADE BY THE BRITANNIA COMPANY, COLCHESTER, ENGLAND, 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 better than any other. The 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 be derived from using a Machine for needlework do not yet possess one because among so many they are. unable to satisfy themselves as to which make is the best. As a practical man and an Engineer allow ma to point out some of the advantages of these Machines. They, will do all that any other Machine will, and do it better, including Hemming, Quilting, Felling, Cording, Binding, Braiding. Stitching, &_., &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 less noise than most Machines, and is the nearest possible approach to noiseless. They are very simple, and will.run for years without costing a shilling for repairs. Every Machine is Warranted. Machines let out on hire, the payment for which goes towards the purchase. Machines of other makers taken in ex change. Repairs properly done. Needles for various Machines, Oil, Cotton, and Extras. G. W. HESLOP, ENGINEER, The Pitting Shop, Vulcan Lane. TAYLOB'S PATENT LOOK STITCH SEWING MACHINES Are not, like many others, made up of parts of variou Machines and called by some fancy name, but are a thoroughly Genuine Article, being well and substan tially made THROUGHOUT. In addition to my strong recommendation of them, founded on practical acquantance with Sewing Mechanism, I have much pleasure in stating that they are giving unbounded satisfaction to all who have purchased them.

Notices. I 0 ELECTION OF SUPERINTENDENT. ' TO THE ELECTORS OF THE PROVINCE 8 OF AUCKLAND. GENTLBME N,—The Principal Returning Officer having fixed the day for the J Nomination of Candidates for the office of Superin tendent, I beg leave to inform you that my intention, as already announced—of becoming a candidate for that office—remains unaltered. When the proper time arrives I shall openly state upon the hustings ' my reasons for offering myself on this occasion as a t candidate for your suffrages. , Before my. departure from Auckland in July last, to attend in my place in the General Assembly, I took occasion to visit as many of the outlying districts of the Province as the time at my disposal would admit; but as I was then obliged to omit several districts which I desired to have visited, I shall, after the day of Nomination, invite the Electors of as many of those "■ places as I can reach to meet me, that'l may address them before the day appointed for the Election (Thursday, 6th November,) arrives. 1 I have the honor to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, I J. WILLIAMSON. f Auckland, October 10, 1573. REVIVE AND ADVANCE AUCKLAND MEN OF THE PROVINCE, UP AND BE DOING! WOEK with heart and hand for the man who has ever been your friend in the time of need, and who has already filled the gap upon the people's call for his aid four times, and is j ready to do so again. The affairs of the province now , specially require the experience of one who thoroughly knows her position and how her wants should be met —fearlessly, honestly, ajid unselfishly,—and JOHN WILLIAMSON, our old and tried friend, is such a man ; therefore support him.
