Mr MoLweD, who has lately promoted the burning and introduction of superior Stone Lime into Auck land, hai appointed Messrs W. and G.

Mr McLeod would also call public attention to the Government Analytis of his superior Lime, which yields from 96 to 07 part* of pure Carbonate of Lime to the 100 Thus, its quality being about 7 per cent, superior to the standard of best Limes used in Gr at BtiUln and America, it will readily be seen that one part of ihis Lime to four or five parts of sand will make a strong mortar, as compared with mortar made from Limes used heretofore in this Province when made from (one) 1 of Lime, and (one) 1 of Sand ; and hence buyers will see the advantages of purchasing this superior Lime, on account of the small quantity of it I which will serve for any given work, such as building • Chimney, etc. Parties desirous of test'ng the quality of this Lime will.on application to Messi Winston* receive gratis small samples ior tests Arrangements are nowmsde for tbe delivery of 1000 busbels per week at their yards on the Breakwater. rpo THE ELECTORS OP WAITEMATA.

I trust, therefore, that my mode of action may not be misconstrued into indifference to obtain the support of all electors who may deem me worthy of their confidence. I have the honor to be.
