I Undersigned, Laving given up all -*- idea of proceeding to the ' Gold Diggings.' and being,anxious to maintain for this settle- ment a good name for accommodations among st- the neighbouring colonies, has made such ar- | rangements as will prove conducive to the ' comfort of all parties visiting or resident in Wellington. From and after Monday, May 3, an Ordinary will be kept at the Commercial Rooms, Ship Hotel, Manners-street. The Cloth will be laid at One o'Clock, p.m., and the Table supplied with every variety of Poultry, other Meats, and Vegetables. Visitors will be treated with all civility and attention, and care will be taken in arranging the bill of fare to meet the wants of all Cus- tomers. In thus providing a complete Family Hotel, the Proprietor may be allowed to" refer with pride to the satisfaction expressed at all hands for his past exertions. For a period of three years an Ordinary was maintained at the Ship Hotel; and the Undersigned merely closed the afiair in order to allow time for the com- pletion of such matters as would place the " Ship" first on the list, as a Family Hotel, in New Zealand ; and during the whole of that period the proprietor received from the many hundreds who visited his Establishment hand-, some acknowledgements for the manner in which the Ordinary was conducted. The Undersigned can now safely assert, that gentlemen favouring him with visits shall find a Luncheon equal to any thing of the kind in this part of the world/ He has laid in an im- mense stock of Poultry, and has made such arrangements as will place at his command an unlimited supply of the very finest Vegetables. Wines,' Spirits, Ale, and Porter, of the best description that money can procure, may always be obtained at the " Ship." The successful and unsuccessful " Djggeb," anxious or otherwise, will find, if not glittering gold, Golden Sherry and Sparkling Cham- pagne ; and the Merchant, desirous of, effect- ing sales, may anticipate profits in a glass of exhilirating "Burton." In fact, the- wise; gay, or excitable, may all enjoy themselves at a "moderate rate, after One o'Clock, at the Ship Hotel. Families arriving from abroad, or from the country, will find excellent accommodations. — clean well-aired beds, properly ventilated rooms, and all possible attention.
