Lamps. & S. MORR in| IRONMONGERS AND I:R OK hi ERC HA N T.S, AUCKLAND, Invite especial notice to their First Ship ment of the SILBER'S PATENT LIGHT COM PANY'S LAMPS. Ex 'HI.XDOSTAX,' KB Oil LONDON, This Com pan ■/ having purchased tho Patent Right from the Inventor, A. M. Silbek, Esq., for £40,000. THE GREATEST DISCOVERY AND MOST COMPLETE SDCCESS EVER KNOWN, Has b:-en attained by A. M. Silber, Etq , of London, who has invented (after three years' careful experi ments) a new stylo of Lamp, having the following and n.any other advantages over any Lamp in. existence, viz. :— The light showing as i.etr as possible ; perfect com lt»uat;on ; consuming every po.tiou of tho oil; • doos noi throw off any off. nsive odour ut any time, like aidinaiy Kerosene Lamps. Consumes the oil most economically, and givea a vrhitti, brilliant, and ste*dy light. Perfact safety fiom EXPLOSION", a* the body of the oil, b ii k sepal-ted by an air jacket wliiih surrounds the wick case, and connected only by a tube which does not allow the tUmo to cutnmuulc* o with the body oi the oil, naturally keeps; the oil cool, and "oxpl «ioiis" are hereby prevented—this fact aloiie pioviug tin immense aovanUge and security o.ur all oiheis j They are adaptable for all purposes of illumination where t>a.s is now ciuploj ed, whether in private bou.es, public buildings, factories, railway stations, railway carriage, ships' lights, signal stations, type-setting rooms, street light!, _c.J AT ONE-FIFTH LESS THAN THE COST OF GAS. To show the high standing these lamps havo gained in the English market, we are furnished withext aots from '.lie London Times, Mining Journal, Lancet, _c. all of which testify lo their SUPERIORITY OVER ANYTHING HITHERTO INVENTED. And, as a further proof, we may state the following ooucpanies have substituted these Lamps in prefer ence fo those previously In use, viz :—Metropolitan, Gicat Eastern, Great Western, South Eastern, London and Brighton, London, Chatham and Dover, aad North London Railways; the Inman, Cunard, and Pacific Lines of Stcamors; also, the Light house Lamp for the Liverpool and Mersey Dock Company, as well as Sitnal Lamps for vaiious railways, and have argtly supplied Street and Wall Lamps for the East and West Icdits. In a recent le'.ter d by tha Patentee from W. Valentin, Esq., FC.S., Principal Demonstrator of Practical Chemistry, In tbo Royal College of Chemistry, London, he remarks, " That the SILBER LIGHT produced by the burners constructed on these new principles i 3 whiter and steadier than any light I am acquainted with, and tho increase in the illuminating1 powor, as compared with that from ordinary burners hitherto in use, U fully equal to from 40 to 50 per cent., without any inoroasod con sumption of oil. My experiments, which will be found in dstail in the " Journal of tho Society of Arts, of December 23, 1872, show that a light can be pro duced from mineral oils from FORTY to FIFTY PER CENT, cheaper than the same light from coal ga», costing THREE SHILLINGS and NINEI'EKCE per 1,000 cubic feet." Tho testimonials received by ilr. Silber are very numerous, and bll express surprise and admiration at the immense success ho has obtained, and anyone desirous of porusing the same we shall bo most happy to furnish with.those iv our possession. The First Shipment of those Celebrated Lamps ar rived in tho ' Hindostan,' consisting of TABLE, HALL, STRkET, AND WALL LAMPS j Also, COOKING APPARATUS, Fitted with SILBER PATENT BURNER, TO THE ORDER OF T. & S. MOE R I JST , who have been appointed SOLE AGENTS JTOR _JEW ZEALAND. From careful examination of the reports to hand and from the high credential* furnished by our Agent at home, the importers have every confidence in saying they are by far the SAFEST AND MOST ECONOMICAL LAMP EVER INTRODUCED nto this market, apd invite afi e.arly inspection of |hp same, t, & pTSobujn," gOXi 1 aUi #11 QTOHllllft

INTERIM SECRETABX : James Mills, Esq. ' This Company has been formed for the purpose of providing more efficient steam communication between the different ports of New Zealand—the want of which has been much felt for some time past, and which is becoming more perceptible as the growing trade of the colony is developed. It is desired to establish a weekly line of Steamers between Otago and the principal Northern ports, to. put on a Steamer between Dunedin and the West Coast Ports of the Middle Island, and also to provide for the efficient conduct of the trade to and from the several smaller Ports on the Coast of Otago and Canterbury. For these purposes (the following new vessels will be required :— " "*"■*.' \ • Three first-class Steamers for the trade betweon Dunedin and Manukau, to be built in Europe, and capable of carrying from 400 to MO tons of cargo, fitted with compound engines and the latest improvements, and with superior passenger accommodation, suited to the re quirements of the present day. These steamerg will be of such class and speed as will ensure every facility to shippers of goods and con venience to the travelling public One boat of smaller capacity and light draft of water, especially adapted to the trade to the West Coast of the Middle Island. With a view to commencing operations without delay it has been arrarjged to take over, on the Ist o January next, the steamers Maori, Beautiful Star, ari£ Samson, belonging to the Harbour Steam Company's fleet, and also their new steamer just built on- the Clyde specially for the Timaru and Lyttelton trade, and which is expected to arrive in the colony early in February. These vessels will at once create a revenue for the Company, and, it is believed, will be sufficient to carry on the trade of the ports on the Coasts of Otago and Canterbury. Mr James Mills, who has so successfully conducted the busines of the Harbour Company from its com mencement, mil continue to act- as Manager of this Company. It is estimated that to carry out these proposals a capital of £150,000 will be required, acd to provide for this it is proposed to call up £4 per share, making a total of £100,000, and to borrow the remaining £60.000 on debentures bearing a low rate of interest. This arrangement will enable larger dividends to bo declared on the paid-up capital. Out of the total number of shares, the proprietors of the Harbour Company will take 7,500 paid v.p to the extent of £4 each, and the remaining 17,500 are now offered to investors. In recommending this investment to the public, the Provisional Directors may state that large pro fltsare now being made by steamers on the coast of New Zealand, and they are therefore confident that by the employment" of vessels of the character indi cated, fitted to work with the utmost economy, and meet the growing traffic without undue strain, the Company will be able to secure ample profits, and at the same time promote trade and the convenience of the travelling public by providing improved facilities and accommodation at reduced rates. Applications for shares will be received by the In terim Secretary, at his office. Harbour Chambers, Dunedin ; and by Messrs Miles and Co..
