Miscellaneous. ■VT E W ZEALAN. D GENERAL TELEGRAPHIC AGENCY. The position which Campbelltown (Bluff Harbor) as the first port of arrival and last of departure for the steamers carrying Her Majesty's English and Australian Mails, as well as its growing importance as a port of call for vessels of large tonnage, and the fact that it is the southern terminus of the New Z°aland Telegraph System, and of the Railways already initiated m Southland, which eventually will traverse the whole of the Middle Island, has induced us to establish at this point A GENERAL TELEGRAPH AGENCY. The objects we have m view are threefold : — Firstly — Receiving and transacting all Mercantile Business m which the telegraphic wire may be called into requisition. Secondly — Supplying the Press throughout New Zealand with the latest English and Australasian Intelligence, including the state of Markets, Shipping, and General News from all parts of the Colonies. Thh-dly — Transacting Telegraphic Business of a miscellaneous character for the public at large. The marked success which has attended like undertakings, both m Europe and the Colonies, when conducted with energy and intelligence, and the long experience of the projectors m mercantile business, and their thorough knowledge of the duties of a Press Correspondent, combined with a determination to devote their whole attention to the Agency, emboldens them to solicit public patronage. A wide-spread system of Telegiaphic Agencies has been formed throughout the whole of the Australian Colonies, m connection with the "NEW ZEALAND GENERAL TELEGRAPHIC AGENCY." The strictest secrecy, together with promptitude and accuracy m all affairs entrusted to us, may be relied on. Head Offices : — CAMPBELLTOWN, Southland, N. Z.
