Sewing Machines. TAYLOR'S PATENT LOCK RTITCH SEWING MACHINES Are not, like many others, made up of parts of variou Machines and called by snme fancy name, but are a thoroughly Genuine Article, being well and substan tially made throtkiiiout. In addition to my strong recommendation of them, founded on practical acqnantance with Sewing Mecitantsm, I have much pleasure in stating that they are giving unbounded satisfaction to ail who have purehnaed them. Prices: Hand Machines, ,£5 5s ; Stand Machines, £7 7s to £S Bs. At!KMT :— T. PEAC OC X, OPTICIAN, Queen stiuikt, near the Bank of Nkw Zicalanb. SEWING- MACHINES MADE BY THE BRITANNIA COMPANY, COLCHESTER, ENGLAND, combine tlio best parts of the best Machines (avoiding their defects') with some kt.cent sttboiali imtrove mkntk, whir.h no other Machine possesses. Every make of Machine, however f;ir removed from excellence, professes to bo better than any other The task of selecting a Sowing 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 heller, including Hemming, Quilting, Felling, Cording, Binding. Braiding. Stitching, &c, &C, with a perfect stitch alike on both sides. They are fitted with an IMPKOVTSD 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 arc 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.

Ejection. I . * THE SUrEPJNTENDENCY ELECTION. ELECTORS OF THE PROVINCE OF AUCKLAND. GFNTLEMEN,— It .appears to mo that it lias now lecome desirable that the con trol of Auckland Provincial affairs should );c trans ferred to the hands of others than those by whom the province has been governed duting tto past. Wilh spierflkl resources in I;it'<l, coal, gold, iron, and other minerals : with a climate unsurpassed by any in Hie world ; and v.;th a sturdy and industrious population of from f!0,000 to 70,000 people, who pay some ,£300,000 per annum in tp!Xes in one shape or another for purposes goort government, public works &0., it is saddening to find that wens a province are not only maMnf; little or no advance towards permanent pros perity, but that at many points we are actually retro grading. i I attribute this state of things to miSgovernment, ! the ill-judged expenditure of public money and ex travagance in the past, which have entailed upon the community grievous bnrdeni in the form of public debts, for which interest «nd Finding funds have now to be provided by oppressive tariff duties and other forms of taxation. So far has this .slate of tilings already gonr. that at the i-iresint moment the Provincial' authorities of Auckland ore at tlleir wits'end, and find it exceed ingly difficult and embarrassing to provido adequate means even for such im important object as educa t'on This Province is planed at a further disadvantage by reason of thn manner it has been finalt with by tho General Government in the expenditure of the larpo loans which wt-ro negotiated on the credit of the whole colony for purposes of !mmiL'r>itiun and Public Works. Although we in Auckland are chargeable with the re-payment of about one-fourth | part of these loans, and although wo contribute in I about that prop rtion towards providing interest and | .sinking funds thereon, yet owing to want of united action by our Superintendent and Representatives only a very small portion of tho borrowed money has ben employed for cur benefit. Our Provincial Revenue for the ensuing year will probably be under £.10,001), and out ol this sum wo 1 have to maintain our Police, Gaols, Hospitals. Lunatic Asylums, Pick and Destitute riarhrmrs, <fee., which cost somo £33,000 prr annum. After paying the Provincial salaries and Departmental expenses on the present scale little or nothing will then-foe remain for aid to Road Board*, for Bridges Ferries, Tram ways at the Goldflel.ls, &c, . and In view of this state of things I bclii-vu it is our first dnty to reduce these Provincial salaries and Departmental expenses to an amount proportionate lo our altered monns. Our next dnty is to require at the hands of our re presentatives that they unite in demanding frf.m tho Assembly and tho Government that jnstice shall no longer he denied to this province in tin; matter of the expenditure of the money borrowed upon our credit conjointly with that of the rest of the colony. I desire tobeconre Superintendent of the Province that 1 may be in ;i position to give practical effect to the above views, and that there may lie come com bined effort made to hiing about a different state of things that moreviUlity may be iiiifailcd to our in dustries, such a;; Mining, Aer!i uHnral pursuits, Trade and < omnmrro, «nd Manufactures. If, however, yon aro content to go on ai r.f yore, and ulect :i polit'cian of the nlil Auckland school, 1 think you will lind. when too late, that ad ditional burdensome taxation must speedily tie resorted to. You will also probably lind that tho old system of denominational education will be introduced into this province, a system so often used as an i: stnim.-nt. of favoritism to one party and ot oppression to another; a system so productive of swUrinn jfia'miS'CK and bickerings that it has been ahandomd hy more advanced communities in favour of :i national secular educa tional system Plinnlil ion roM.cn> the o:d rcirimc to power you will also find Hint the control of the Police will si.on be "transferred to the Provincial authorities to bo used as it. was before, for party or political [iiirptisos During this 'flection cohtfct I. have bneji treated with nhfairnu-s by a portion of the Auckland Press, but as many of you are aware thepersoifs whom these papers represent are interested in re-introducing and coiiliimbift the state of things which has led the province into its present position. By the abuse of political power tuul patronage in the past they theni- S(.-Iv,k havo boon unable to proxper, while the pro vince has .so lungiiiithcd that it can hardly be in a worse position, and it now rents with you electors to say by your votes whether j'irw will entrust your afl'aiis for another period of four yenra to the old hands, or whether yon will Kivtfmo "your confldonce and .support. Unit I may v ith the aid of a well chosen Provincial Council lie enabled to inaxijnarate a change towards n better kn<l healthier era. If you d me- tho honaiu to elrrt mo I will apply "myself diligently and strenuously to1 i fleet retrenrlitnent in Provincial saliirius and oiher Depart mental expenses: to obtain ju.st cc for the Province at tho hands of the General Government, arid to prolific permanently for the menus noccs. .irv to carry out ;•- RyKtem of education without reporting to any. such obnoxious and unjust measure na Ilic present Kdhcatioii Tax I am, Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, .). m.
