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 gome 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 Time-tablei 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 full 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 tbe whole Colony has long been felt by all commercial classes. ■ The publication now projected will, it is confidently 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 I must therefore be at once apparent.
