ARRIVAL OF THE NEW WATERBURY.

It is not often that the arrival of a shipment of goods in New Zealand waters is eo generally welcomed as the arrival of the present parcel of Waterbury Watches. By the fire on the Ruahiae 3000 Watjsrburys— gold, silver, and nickel — were destroyed, and this interruption in the regular inflow has kept the market bare till the landing of the present parcel. The Hon. Dr. Pollen stated in the Legislative Council that 95,000 Adult Males pay the whole of this colony's taxation, maintain its Civil Service, run its railways and public works, 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 the shipment now landing consists of 2880 Watebburys, which 13 followed by the Elinor Veruon, due iu a month, with 2880 More, all fold already to the wholesale trade, who have been waiting supplies for from three to four month'. Large as these figures are, two other 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 Bince the Waterbury advent of Onk to Each Hundred Watbrburys. Jewellers and retail dealers will kindly send their orders to our agents as quickly as possible. WATERBURY WATCH CO., Bond and CrawforpStreets, Dunfdik.
