The extension of railway commtinicaHon, 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 tbe arrivals and departures of the va rious trains, coaches, mail and other steamers, and all methods of travel, render jthe publication of some trustworthy and authentic record of reforance 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 Tims-tables compie with every possible regard to accuracy.and from Ji formation obtained from authentic sources only of a Railways, Coaches, Steamers, *c , &c. The projecte publication will also contain full information regan ing Postal and Telegraphic arrangements, General, Provincial, and Municipal Governments ; Public Institutions, Banks, Insurance Companies, complete Descriptive Itinerary, aud, 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 confidently anticipated, fully fill that want, as it will be the first aim of the subs'vriberg to produce the work at a price which must ensure its being accessible to the whole community. It is calculated that an issue of i some thousands per month may be relied upon, which will he distributed throughout the entire Cqlony. The advahtag s thus offered to airiveiticers must therefore be at orice apparent. In submitting this prospectus to tbe 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 reiider in proportionately as recognised an] i: stitution in New Zealand, as "Bradshaw's Guide" is in .Bngland. \ • . fa»^Tfitinilitf.iynhß^^V>ff^*n^iJt(^AdYW^^fl''ifflMriittt
