Publications, &c. WILL BE PUBLISHED, OM SATURDAY, ICm OCTOBER, THE FIRST NUMBER OF rjiHE -^yEEKLY OBSERVER. Price 3d ; post-paid, 4d, or 4s 4d per Quarter. A Journal of News and Belles Lettres. THE impediments thrown in the way of the transmission of news by the postal regulations, render a daily paper in most cases too costly a luxurj4®Pfee' indulged in, in the outlying districts of the Province. It is therefore proposed to publish a Weekly Journal at the office of the Evening Star, under the above title. The enlarged form in which the Star is now issued, necessitates retaining an efficient reporting staff, and every care will be taken to render the week’s news as full and reliable as possible, and'to present it in a form that will supply agreeable reading as well as solid information. Nor is it intended to fill the columns of the Weekly Observer solely with narratives of passing events, or articles bearing upon them. It is proposed to open its pages freely to original contributions, whenever they are of sufficient merit to deserve a place in them, and to publish an interesting story from the pen of’some talented author, that the literary matter may interest all classes of readers, and the Weekly Observer become a welcome household guest. In politics, the utmost care will be taken to weigh well the measures proposed, irrespective of the men who bring them forward. The time has gone past for pledging support to any political party. Measures, not men, should be now the motto of every journal, and to this rule it is intended faithfully to adhere. Although there will not be so many pages of reading matter as in the Otago Witness, the difference in type will bring the quantity nearly on a par with it, and render the Weekly Observer the cheapest journal in the Colony. It is therefore confidently anticipated that it will be widely circulated, and become a most desirable advertising medium. Ar- ‘ rangements are making for publishing the fii-st number on Saturday, October 16th; and intending subscribers are requested to forward their names in time to secure a copy of the first number. All advertisements intended for insertion in the first number should be left at the office of the Evening Star not later than Wednesday, the 13th October. Painters, Paperhanger, etc. Gr.
