The estenslon 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 characer- now obtainable of tbe arrivals and departures of the va rious trains coaches, mail and other steamers, and all methods ef travel, render .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 wUI permit—to the well-known '! Bradhaw" of the mother country, containiog Time-tables compied with every possible regard to accuracy and from in formation obtained from authentic sources only of all Hailwai s, Coaches, Steamers, *c , &c. The projected publication will also contain full in formation regard ing Postal and Telegraphic arrangements, Gener.J, Provincial, and Municipal t.iovernmpnts ; Public Institutions, Banks, Insurance Companies, complete Descriptive Itinerary, ad, in short, will be made as replete with general and useful information as possible. Thf> want of a medium of Advertislcg 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 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 _c distributed throughout the entire Colony. The ad van tag's thus offered to advertisers must therefore be at once apparent. In submitting this prospectus to the public of New Zealand, the subscribers beg to giv'n the assurance that every effort will be made to carry it out in its integrity, and render in proportionately as recognised an i'stitution in New Zeal*nd, as "Bradshaw's Guide" is in England. Terms of Subscriptions and for Advertising may be ascertained from the various agents, whose names will shortly be published in the local newspapers.
