Lamps. 'J' & S. MOEE IW. IRONMONGERS AND IRON, M E R C H A N T S, AUCKLAND, Invite especial notice to their First Shipment of the SILBEE'S EATENT LIGHT COM PANY'S LAMPS, E.-C HIXDO.STAN*, FROM LoN'DOX, This Company having purchased the Patent Right from the Inventor, | A. M. SILI3 ER , ]■: sq . , FOR £-10,000. THE GREATEST DISCOVERY A XT) MOST COMPLETE SUCCESS EVER KNOWN Has been attained by A. M. Silber, Esq., of London who has invented (after three years' careful experi ments) a now style of Lamp having the following and many other advantages over any Lamp iv existence, viz :— The light showing as near as possible ; perfect combustion ; consuming every portion of the on : does not throw on' any offensive odour at anytime like ordinary Kerosene Lamps. Consumes the oil most economically, and gives a white, brilliant, and steady light. Perfect safety from EXPLOSION, as the body of the oil, being separated by an air jacket which surrounds the wick case, and connected only by a tube which does not allow the tUmo to communicate with tlie body of the oil, natu rally keeps the oil cool, and "explosions" are hereby prevented—this fact alone proving an immense advantage and security over all others. They _.re adaptable for all purposes of illumination where gas is now employed, whether in private houses, public buildings, factories, railway stations, railway c.irri.ig.s, ships'lights, signal stations, type-setting rooms, stroet lights, _c. AT ONE-FIFTH LESS THAN THE COST OE GAS. To show the high standing these lamps have gained in tlie English market we are furnished with extracts from the London Time*, Min'tmj Journal, Lannet, 4c, all of which testify to their SUPERIORITY OVER ANYTHING HITHERTO INVENTED. And, as a further proof, we may state the following companies have substituted these Lamps in prefer ence to those previously in use, viz :-Metropolitan, Creat Eastern, Great Western, Soutli Eastern, London and Brighton, London, Chatham and Dover, and North London Railways.'; the Inman, Cunard, and Pacific Lines of Steamers; also, the Light-liou.se Lamp or the Liverpool and Mersey Dock Company, as well as Signal Lamps for various railways, and have largely supplied Street and Wall Lamps for the East and West Indies. In a recent letter received by the Patentee from W. Valentin, Esq., F.C S . Principal Demonstrator of Practical Chemistry, in the Royal College of Chemistry, London, he remark', "That the SILBER LIGHT produced by the burners constiucted on these new principles is whiter and steadier than any light I am acquainted with, and the iuciease in the illuminating power, as compared with tint from ordinary burners hitherto in use, is fully equal to from 40 to 50 per cent, without any increased con sumption of oil. My exper.nients, which will be found in detail in the " Journal of the Society of Arts of December 23, 1572, show that a light can be pro duced front mineral oils from FORT Y to FIFTY PER CENT cheaper than the same light from coal gas, costing THREB SHILLINGS and N NEPENCE per 1,000 cubic feet." The testimonials received by Mr Silber are vcy numerous, and al express surprise and admiration at the immense, success he has obtained, and any one desirous of perusing the same we shall be most happy to furnish with those in our possession. The First Shipment of these Celebrated Lamps arrived in the Hindostan, consisting of TABLE, HALL, STREET, AND WALL LAMPS ; Also, COOKING APPARATUS, Fitted with SILBER PATENT BURNEB, TO THE ORDER OP T. & S. MOEEIN, who have been appointed SOLE AGENTS FOR NEW ZEALAND. From careful examination of the reports to hand, and from the high credentials 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 into this market, and invite an early inspection of the same.

INTERIM SECRETARY : James Mills, Esq. This Company his 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 p:.s% and which is becoming more perceptible as the growing trade of the colony is developed. It is desired to establish a weekly line of Steame-s between Ofago and the principal' Northern ports, to put on a Steamer betwee-i 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 th_ Coast of Otago and Canterbury. For these purposes the following new vessels will be required : - Three first-class Steamers for the trade between Dunedin and Manukau. to be built in Europe, and capable of carrying from 400 to 500 tons of cargo, fitted with compound engines and the latest improvements, and with superior passenger accommodation, suited to the re quirements of the prrsent day. These steamers will be of such class and speed as will ensure every farid.y to shippers of goods and con venience to the travcllin. 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 arranged to take over, on the Ist o January next, the steamers Maori, Beautiful Star, and Samson, belonging to the Harbour tHeam Company's fleet, and also their ne*- 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. The?e 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, will continue lo act as Manager of this Company. It is estimated that to carry out these proposals a capital of .€150,000 will be required, and to provide for this it is proposed to caß up £4 per share, making a total of £100.000, and to borrow the remaining £50,000 on debentures bearing a low rate of interest. This arrangement will enable larger dividends to be declared on the paid-up capital. Out of the total number of shares, the propi-ietors of the Harbour Company will take 7.500 pail up to the extent of £4 each, and the remaining 17,50u are now offered to investors. In recommending this investment to the public, the Provisional Directors may state that large pro litsarp now being.made by steamers on the coast of New Zetland, 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 rate's. Applications for shares will be received by the In terim Secretary, at his office. Harbour Chambers, Dunedin ; and by Messrs Miles and Co., Hereford street, Christchurch ; at tlie office of the National Bank of wew Zealand, Auckland; or Messrs Hender son A Macfarlane, a gents.
