The ci tension of railway communication, the con sequent exceedingly rapid Increase in the passenger traffic through out the colony of New Zealand, and the paucity of information—of a reliable charae'er-now obtainable of tbe arrivals and departures of the va rious trains, coaches, mall and other steamers, and all methods of travel, render j the publication of some trustworthy and authentic record of referance 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-table? compied with every possible regard to accuracy and from in formation obtained from authentic s-urces only of all H ail war s, Coaches, Steamers, t~c , &c. The proj ected publication will also contain full information regard ing Postal and Telegraphic arrangements, General, Provincial, and Municipal Governments-; Public Institutions, Banks, Insurance Companies, complete Descriptive Itinerary, aod, 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, f ally 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 advantag'S thus offered to artvct titers must therefore be at once apparent. In submitting this prospectus to the public of New Zealand, the subscribers beg to giv« the assu-ance that every effort will be made to carjry it out in its integrity, and render In proportionately as reco-nised , an i-stitutlon in New Zeal md, as "Bridshaw's i Guide" is in England.
