ARRIVAL OF THB NEW WATERBURY.

It is not) often thab the arrival of a shipment of goods bo New Zealand waters is so generally welcomed as the arrival of ths present parcel of Waterbury watches. By the fire on tho Ruahine

3,000 WATERBTJRY9— gold, silver, and nickel—were destroyed! and this interruption in the regular inflow has kepb tho market bare till the landing of the preaenb parcel. The Hon. Dr. Pollen tfeabed in tho Legislative Council that

95,000 Adult Males pay the whole of this colony's taxation, maintains its Civil Service, runs its railways and publio works, and forms the nncleui of the colony's prosperity; and yeb to this very limited population over

120,000 WATBRBUEY9 have been sold and delivered, and the ship. mend now landing consists of ■

2,880 Waterburys, which is followed by the Elinor Vernon, due in a month with

2,880 More, all sold already to the wholesale trade, who have been waiting supplies for from three to four months. Large aa these figures are, two other shipments are to arrive before Cbrfsbmas, and we venture to affirm that no other watch can show a sale in New Zealand during the period covered since the Waterbury advent of One to Each Hundbed Waterboys. Jewellers and retail dealers will kindly lend their orders to our agents as quickly as possible.
