' ENGLISH NEWSPAPER AGENCY, ... Colombo street, Christchurch. ESTABLISHED 1857. ALBEB-T tTbBADWELL WISHES to inform his patrons and the public, that the « HOME NEWS,' "PUNCH," and Monthly Periodicals, are now to hand, and that the supply will be prompt and regular from this dnte. The back numbers of the Monthlies have arrived, and may now be had by those who have failed to supply themselves from other vendors. . . • The' Advertiser is sensible of the disappointment felt by those parties whose papers have been delayed or withheld, and wbieh has caused him the deepest regret, but he can , assure them that the fault does not lie with : him. The goods were all properly ORDERED and PAID FOR each month in London, at the Bank of New South Wales, and he can only ascribe the grievous mistake that has occurred, to an error of judgment in bis London Agent, who seeme to have been at a loss how- to act when the Panama Mail Service collapsed. Now, however, that gentleman has explicit instructions to forward all papers and serials direct through the mail vis Saez, and no further disappointment need be anticipated. - In conclusion, the advertiser gratefully thanks those who have kindly construed his misfortune, and waited until its cause was removed. To those who have felt.it right to blame him, and . withdraw their orders, be would say, that during the many years he has been in trade, he has never broken faith with his customers, and be hopes they will not desert him now. - The papers for them hare been paid for in the belief that they would be received ; if thrown upon his hands, they are mere waste, as such goods cannot be sent to other markets, or be saleable at another .season.; the result might to him be ruin, and 1 ; his only consolation would be to know that he had done his best, and that lie suffered for another's mistake. Colombo street, August 12, 1869. THE "EUROPEAN MAIL." MR BRAD WE L L has received an APPOINTMENT AS AGENT for the fibove excellent Journal, snd will be glad to receive orders for the same. 3641
