NEW ZEALAND AGENCY.

MR. F. W. JERNINGHAM begs to inform his friends and the colonists, that he is about to return to England by the Caledonia, in April next, and intends to open a General Agency Business in London in connection with this colony. His chief object will be introducing, not only to the English public, but to the foreign markets, the new and valuable productions of New Zealand. He therefore solicits their support, and assures them that all business entrusted to his care will meet with the strictest attention and despatch. Parties wishing to ship by the Caledonia, not having Agents in England, can make arrangements with Mr. Jerningham during the next month, or by application to Messrs. Clifford & Vavasour, Wellington.
