The extension of railway communication, the con sequent exceedingly rapid Increase in the passenger traffic throughout the colony of New Zealand, and the paucity of information—of a reliable character-now obtainable of the arrivals and departures of the va rious trains, coaches, mail and other steamers, and all methods of travel, render (the publication of some trustworthy and antbentie record of reference an absolute necessity. The subscribers propose to issue to the public a monthly "Guide," similar—as far as circumstances will permit—to the well-known " Bradhaw" of the mother country, containing Time-tables compied with every possible regard to accuracy .and from' in formation obtained from authentic sources only of all Railways, Coaches, Steamers, *c, &c. The projected publication will also contain fall information regard ing Postal and Telegraphic arrangements, General, Provincial, and Municipal Governments; Public Institutions, Banks, Insurance Companies, complete Descriptive Itinerary, and, in short, will be made as replete with general and useful information as possible. The want of a medium of Advertising for the whole Colony has long been felt by all commercial classes. The publication now projected will, it is oonfldently anticipated, folly fill that want, as it will be the first aim of the subscribers to produce the work at a price which must ensure its being accessible to the whole community. It is calculated that an issue of some thousands per month may be relied upon,' which will be distributed throughout the entire Colony. The advantages thus offered to advertisers must therefore be at once apparent. In submitting this prospectus to the public of New Zealand, the subscribers beg to give the assurance that every effort will be made to carry,it, out in its integrity, and render in proportionately as recognised an institution in New Zealand, aa "Bradshaw's Guide" is in England. Terms of Subscriptions and for Advertising may be aaeertained from the varlotu agenta, whose name* Will ihMtijr U publllhed in the local newspapers. DALOUMH * BED. ,
