ARRIVAL OF THE NEW WATERBURY.

i It is nob often thab the arrival of a shipment of goods to New Zealand waters is so generally welcomed as tho arrival of tho proaent parcol of Watorbury watches. By the firo on tho Ruahine 3,000 Waterburys— gold, silver, and nickel—were dosbroyodi and this interruption in the regular inflow haa kept the market buro till the landing of the present parcel. Tho Hon. Dr. Pollen »tutod in the Legislative Council that 95.C00 Adult Males pay the wholo of this colony's taxation, maintains its Civil Service, runs its milways and public works, and forma the nuclous of the colony's prosperity ; and yeb to this very limited population over 120,000 Watekborys have been sold and delivered, and the Bhip* tnent now landing consists of 2,880 Waterburys, which is followed by tho Elinor Vornoa, duo 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 as those figures aro, two othor shipments aro to arrive before Chrietrnas, and wo venture to affirm that no other watch can show a Bale in New Zealand during tho period covered since the Watorbury advent of One to Each Hundred Watkrbukys.
