HA.LLT3NSTEIN BROS., Of the New Zealand Clothing Factory, following the example of gome of the large manufacturers at Home, and more especially with a view of pieveuting the importation of English clothing, intend opening an extensivo Retail Establishment for the sale of tlieir inanufao» ires. For this pvupose. they havr fitted up commodious premises at the corner of the Octagon 'and Princes st reet, which are to be opened on Saturday, May 27.
