The rapidly ircreasing importance of Onehunga a» a port of arrival and departure, the extension of the railway, the connecting of the peninsula with Mangere, and the general favour Onehunga has obtained as a place of pleasurable resort, has inducedthe Proprietor to spare neither pains or expense to make it A FIEST-CLASB FAMILY, COMMERCIAL, AND travellers' hotsl. The establishment has been so re-arranged as to afford the best accommodation for visitors in. transitv. between the por and other ports of the colony; as also for those who seek Onehunga as A MARINE TREAT, Whether for pleasure or health. The accommodation comprises COMMERCIAL, TRAVELLERS*, PUBLIC, AND PRIVATE ROOMP. The Bedrooms are spacious, well-ventilated, *nd comfortably furnished. Everj attention, under veiy experienced management, is paid to the wants of customers.

The NEW SOUTH W*LFS SHALE AND OIL COMP-VNY are now in a position to turn out about 50,000 GALLON of their KKKOSKNK OIL per month which, wi'h veiy smalj outlay, conld be doubled, and it is simply a question of time when they will manu facture enough to supply the whoJo of the Australian Colonies. Superior in quality to any imported oil, and much lower in price ihe "COMET" wlLis justly regarded as THE BKSr, THK SAFEST, and CHEAPEST LLLTJaiiNATOK, As a proof of the superi rity of the Comet Oil over all other brands the following letters are >elected from a number of others lately received from tee trade and consumers :— " Australasian Steam Navigation Company. " Hydnev Jun • 13 1874. " Dear Sir, —For the last four or five years we have used none other th*n Hartie> Kerosene il manu factured from the Bartlev Phule. w c have noticed that it has steadily imirovtd in quality : and fora period of two years, that is since your Company ■ came into existence and muntfactnred your Comet Oil, it is all that can be desired. Throughout a 1 rge fleet' of steamer*, wi ha consumption of about 600 gallons ; per month; inavaii-ty of lamps and lanti-rns, sub- j jeot to gre-tt changes in temperature and sudden j draughts iD saloons, engine-ro'-ms, and in mast head \ and side light-, this oil i- put to as Tere test, nnft we ; find it equal, if not *uperi<r, to any ottier kerosene oil procurable in ihe-fi colonies. " I am, deir sir, yours Mthfullv. Fheu fiiiLLirs, Secretary." " Hunter Elver Steam Navigation Company. ', ? ; ; ' Sydney. April 2 1874 " The Secretary Kew South Wale* Stale and Oil Company (Limited) "Bear Sir,—l h-ve much p'e.i«u*e in certl'y'ng tbat since the impro' ements effected nearly two years ago la refining your oil it has been used by this ! Company cmtiuunush for illuminating purposes in the saioons ai d ngine-rooms of our Bteam*hips and for m» t-bead and side lights—for alt wi ich . urposes , we have found ii. to be equal to the best American . kerosene oi' ; and I have nc doubt when the excellent qual'ty of your oil becomes known in the other j coloniei and in foreign plapes/it will supersede .any other kerosene oiL " Yours sincerely, " F. J. Thomas, Manager."
