ARRIVAL OF THK NEW WATEKBURY.

It is not often that the arrival of a shipment of goods in New Zealand waters is to generally welcomed as tho arrival of the present parcel of Waterbury Watcheß. By the fire on tho Ruahine 3000 Waterbitrys— gold, silver, and nickel— were destroyed, and this interruption in the regular inflow has kept tho markefe bare till the landing of the present parcel. The Hon. Dr. Pollen 6tated in the Legislative Council that 95,080 Adult Males pay the whole of this colony's taxation, maintain its Civil Service, run its railways and public workSi and forms the nucleus of the colony's prosperity ; and yet to this very limited population over 120,000 Waterburys have been sold and delivered, and tho shipment now landing consists «f 2880 Wateheurts, which ii followed by the Elinor Vernon, due in a month, with 2SBO More, all r old already to the wholesale trade, who have been waiting supplies for from three to four month. Large as these figures are, twe o her shipments are to arrive before Christmas, and we venture to affirm that no other watch can show a sale in New Zealand during that period covered 6iuce the Waterbury advent of One to Each Hundred Waterburts. Jewellers and retail dealers will kindly send their orders to our agenta as quickly as possible. WATERBURY WATCH CO., Bond and Ckawi-okd Streets, Dunkdjn
