Hobson villo Pottery : At these works, to meet the constantly - increasing demand for the sanitary and other pottery ware, and to keep paco with tho ordors, another kiln has been obliged to be built, more machinery purchased, and the works further enlarged. These additions wili enable the output to be double that of last season. At the pressing request of many architects, the manufacture of ornamental bricks, itc, has been started under favourable auspices.

It contains a clear exposition of policy in regard ts immigraticii Sir Julius treads delicately, as -W dangerous ground, fle affirms that t™ sha'.l principally have to depend ml obtaining population 'to the-attrtctions we can make the colony offer,' Oat impression is, he has eomething very much beyond this in his mind, eh™ it haß always been his cardinal principle that population is the one thing netdfnl, Sir Julius, possibly with intention, letithe cat out of the bag aa to the signal failuro of the local finance and Govern ment scheme. He now declares it will be necessary to establish 'again a him local authority to deal with Euch works as roads and bridges, admitting it jj idle to talk about such a local au thority without at the same time pkc ing at its command adequate revenue, Sir Julius is exceedingly anxious to con vert the working classes to the doctrine of protection. More than half his long address is taken up with making the worse appear tho better part in matters of fad policy. What is of principal concern is the almost declared intention of the Govern ment to persist In endeavouring to force on the colony a custom tariff of a fairly restrictive character. ' We believe tho great majority of people are not likely to be taken in by the specious arguments of Julius, who really must ba under the im preseiou that the prevailing depression extends to the public intellect. Can more absolute nonsense be conceived than tho assertion : — 'Were it not for the competition of the local industries, the present prices of imports would be from 50 to 50 per cent, higher than they ore." 0i again, that tho 'real opposition to these duties' (protective duties), does noli come from tho labouring classes but from those middle • men who aro adverse to contributing theii fail eharo towards the encouragement1 of local industry.' The dodge is too transpsireptof assuming as a fact that free trade implies a reduction of wages. The Treasurer, asa mattcrof course, is diffusive on the subject;of goldfielde and the mining industry. Miners must be much more simple thai we tale them to be if they don't compare his fine words with the failure to accomplish any thing practicable which marked the conduct of Ministers in his behalf last session. We notice, M'itheomeamusement.thit Sir Jalioi fell back on his notable idea of years ago, re lative to turning the Clatha and'takipg out hundreds of tons of gold. Maybe bis con templated local industry polipy will include that other delectable notion in 1866 of con stituting White Island a huge sulphur manufactory." The "Herald" is delighted.'with tho manifesto, which, from a Dunedin point of view, is eminently 'editable, It means a new and ever-wideoing_ stream of wealth being poured into the city from the fertile interior ; it means the extension of our manufacturiea, and doubling the city in size. There are half-a-million acres of tho finest agricultural land waiting _lor productive settlement. It will bring into Dunedin untold riches lying hidden in the Southern, Alpe, hitherto through our supineness kept inacwWe. We are on the eve of a new day. We have been waiting for the manifestation ot political wisdom, and have been hitherto disappointed, but now that .the wow banner of progress is boldly.unfurled, people will rally around it in enthusiastic-nmnbOT, and rejoico in seeing it carried forwam to immediate and unqualified victory.

ZEALAND JFROZEN ]^EAT & STORAGE COMPANY, LIMITED. CAPITAL, £200,000; CALLED UP, £100,000. DIRECTORS: A. Bdix, Esq. D. L. Murdoch, Esq. J. Banks, Esq. L. D. Nathan, Esq. P. Comiskkv, Esq. Hon. J, Williamson. Sir F. Whitakkr, KC.M.G. Tiik Company begs to notify to tlio public that tho works at Auckland and tho Waltar* have now been complotod, and constitute tlio most oxteneivo Meat-preserving and Freer, ing Works in New Zealand. WHOLESALE MEAT MARKET AND SHIPPING DEPOT Is now open nt tho Company's Worka at tho Railway Wharf, where Town and Countrj orders will be attended to with the utmost promptness and despatch. Tho Company can refer with confidonco to the superior quality of its Prime Meat, a.« selected for the market from large quantities of firet-clasa Weat Coast stock, dealt with nt the Company's Works, Waitara. SALT BEEF. Special attention is directed to the Company's brand in this line, which, with tho faci lities afforded by the cold-air process, can be cured in mild picklo, and tho noces.-ity of cutting up in small pieces obviated. As contractors for H.M. Navy, here and in Sydney, large stocks are kept on band. BACON-CURING. The Cooling Chambers for Bacon curing at the Company's Wonks in Auckland are now so far advanced that this New Industry has boon commonced, and choice Hams and Bacon can be offered cured on the most modern principle. Particular attention will bo paid to the selection of Pios for this dsk, and on no account -will any except Daihy ok Corn Fkd Pigs bo purchased, aa it is purposed to build up a reputation for an Auckland Ham and Bacon Factory. MEAT-PRESERVING. This branch is equal to an output of 120,0001b5. per diem, and the Company has the greatest confidence in recommending its . PRESERVED MEATS As superior to anything of the kind heretofore offered to the public. The Company would specially call attention to the fact that the COMPRESSED CANNED BEEF AND MUTTON, I'ACKEn IV THE SQUAKK CAN (The right to which is patented), is the first sample from any part of tho worl.' ' i, been able to competo successfully in the London Market with the best Chicago ~. .. ~ Hitherto the Colonial moats packed in tho round cans, although called eompros'sed meats were only saleable in the English markets, where a low price was the first consideration' but meats of tho New Zealand Packing Company, submitted in competition for Admir' alty supplies at Deptford Dockyard, were awarded the highest commendation and placed on the register of accepUd brands. The following extract from the letter of the Company's Agents in London, the Now Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company (Limited), is referred to, who writ© as follows :— " We have the pleasure to hand you herowith an extract from a letter receive! from I'm Wn, Office, Army Department :—"Bamples of the Peach Brand of tho New ZuaJand Parking p! submitted by you, have been testßd and proved, and tho Brand will be added to the Solucied List of the Department" Thia now ontitling you to the privilege ot comp ting, we therefore ti>nrti>r<.iinn your behalf at 60s 3d per 1121b; and to?day were grat'fledto hear that The offer hadl beeit accented XS nSii; t,Sfc tWtbißht' thaDthe """^^oan "rands, show? n C» Consequent upon the temporary stoppage of production during the transfer of tfco Company's Meat-preserving Works from Auckland to Waitara, and owing to the fact that the reserve which had been relied upon to meet current demands was taken by the JNew South Wales Government for tho Soudan expedition, the Company has been unable to comply with numerous demands from customers, but are now prepared to execute with promptitude all orders with which they may be favoured. WHOLESALE BUTTER DEPOT. The Company ia about to open a large Wholesale Butter Dep6t at their Freezing Works, Railway Wharf. Cooling Chambers and the necessary plant are now beine prepared. B It is anticipated that with the appliances, cold-air chambers, and facilities for dealing with the ever increasing surplus, the Company will be able to offer a regular and satisfactory market for Dairy Produce. The Company's Managers of this branch are cash purchasers of Prime Butter and Fresh Eggs. Communications may at once be andressea to them. The utmost care will be taken in the selection of Butter for table use. This will be made up fre?h every morning. Aa early as possible, wholesale orders of Butter will bo delivered in refrigerated carts, so that retailers will be able to obtain a day's supply each morping, and householders, by insisting upon being supplied with the Company's Brands of Butter, will obtain a table delicacy throughout the year. Tho department will be under the management of Messrs Glanville and Ellyett whose Butter Business is being taken over by the Company. ' ACID AND MANURE WORKS. The Directors being very desirous of satisfying the public as to the genuineness of their Manures, have requested Prof. Brown, of the Auckland University to act as their Analyist, and he has agreed to certify to the Analysis of the Superphosphates. The Company will defray the cost of any Analysis of Manures purchased direct from them and duly sampled, the result of which may be proved to fall below the Euaranteed standard, and also allow 4s 6d per ton per unit for the deficiency. Samples and further information may be obtained at the Works, Otahuhu or at the Office, Railway Wharf. ' STORING. The Company is now prepared to enter into arrangements for storine General Mbwjhandise, etc., at current rates. The Storks have a line of rail running through the building to the end of the Rail way Wharf, so that all cartage, either by rail or vessel, is avoided. All gooda Btored are aded and unloaded under cover, hydraulic lift and other appliances being available. Cable Address, "Iceberg"; Post-office No,, 1131 Telephone, 106 i Telephone.
