JMTDOWELL & CO., in accordance with their previous announcement, beg to inform • the inhabitants of Wellington and the surrounding Provinces, that, in addition to ths large parcels of consigned goods of which they have been declared the purchasers, they are in receipt of their shipments of Goods ex ships Star of India, via Melbourne, and Edinburgh Castk, to Wellington direct. This makes their third series of shipments for the season, amounting as follows: — Via Melboubne. Via Dunedik. Ship Averaoro 29 Agnes Mnir 11 Star of India 19 Christian M'Causland ... 6 Turkish Empire .... ... 21 Direct to Wbm-ington. Alhambra 14 England 43 .' — Lochlee 11 83 Edinburgh Castle 83 104 By the above list it; will bo observed that our shipments for the season amount to ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-SEVEN PACKAGES OF DRAPERY, CLOTHING, &o, Being by far the most extensive hitherto imported to Wellington by any retail house in one season. THE SOLE REASON WHY WE HAVE IMPORTED SO LARGELY THIS SEASON was owing to the inducement held out to our buyers by the unsettled state of the markets, in consequence of Continental difficulties, and TAKING ADVANTAGE OF A FAVORABLE OPPORTUNITY, and buying largely. In many instances we have been enabled to save fifty per cent on forme* prices, or, in other words, to buy at HALF PRICE, and in no case less than TWENTY FEB CENT, lower than last year. Of this our customers shall have the full benefit. In an advertisement of this sort we cannot give details, but will note a few of the special lines, which no family should be without, as the price is very little over one-half of that hitherto charged in Wellington for the same class of goods.
