The Commercial Inn,

TURNER'S TERRACE, BANK SQUARE.

T. R. YOUNG,

HAS the honor to acquaint his numerous Friends and the Public in general, that he has at length (at great expense,) completed his arrangements in the above INN for the reception of Gentlemen and Private Families, where will be found the highest comforts—quite equal to those in the most respectable Hotels in the adjacent Colonies, the want of which has hitherto been so loudly complained of, and so much required, in New Zealand.

The situation, directly in the rear of the Police Office and New Zealand Bank, is the most salubrious in Kororarika, whilst it is in the centre of the business portion of the Town, where Boats can land in the severest weather—a very great advantage.

He has laid in the choicest collection of Wines, Spirits, Ale, Porter, Cordials, &c. the Colonies can afford, and hopes by strictly looking to the comforts of his Guests, to meet with a liberal share of Public patronage.
Kororarika,
13th June, 1840.

It will, perhaps, be expected of us, in the outset of our labours as Journalists in this small but rising community, that we should make some explicit avowal of the principles we intend to follow. Our space will permit us but few remarks, and perhaps in the present stage of the Colony and of our own connexion will it, it would be premature to say much. Promises, the public is well aware, are easily broken, and with some appearance of excuse too, when made in ignorance, as they must be to a certain extent, in a new society. We will then just say, that our every endeavour will, in every way which presents itself to us, be directed to the public good. We wish ours to be strictly a Paper of Commercial utility. In conformity with this rule, we shall exert ourselves to promote the interests of the community by every possible means. At the same time we shall be found the upholders of every Institution by which the moral and physical well-being of mankind may be promoted. Our views are comprehensive: We wish to do good as far as our power extends, to the whole. This principle will, we trust, always keep us from falling under any undue bias to any particular section of the community. It is our decided intention to avoid all unnecessary offence to individuals of every class, and, therefore, we shall be careful that our columns never become the medium of personal attack and vituperation. Our object will invariably be to unite not divide, a principle, on the due maintenance of which we conceive the prosperity of the Colony of New Zealand most essentially to depend. In pursuance of these views, we invite communications written in a temperate style, on all subjects connected with the public weal. We shall of course exercise our own discretion in the use of the materials furnished to us, but we shall endeavour in the exercise of that discretion, to act on the strictest impartiality.

One word more to our friends. Our success must depend on public support both as it regards the MATERIEL of which our Journal shall consist, and our pecuniary ability to conduct it creditably. We hope, therefore, that all who wish our course to be a prosperous one, will exert themselves to make it so, and we can then securely promise them that time shall prove our present commencement to have been an auspicious one both to ourselves and the Public.

The period is at length arrived, when New Zealand, the Antipodes of the civilized world, is to take its share of the attention of the Nations of Europe, and occupy a prominent part in their consideration and interest. Long has Commerce directed her regards to this portion of the Globe, and now colonisation is following in her train, and carrying on her efforts on the most inhospitable shores. And it may be firstly anticipated, that not many years will elapse before this country will be exalted to a high rank among the most important communities. No longer is the public dread excited by a nation of cannibals. The commencing and increasing influx of Europeans has not only softened down but almost removed from the most timid minds, the terror of ferocious Natives. Those Natives themselves are beginning to be alive to the advantages of trading and of a comparatively civilised life. Every thing now tends to bring to the light the original resources of these Countries, and to induce men to employ their energies in rendering those resources available for universal good.
