the River. These sections will vary fiom 100 to 320 acres, and several of them will have River frontages. A Township will be laid off at a suitable place on this line of road, which will be a connecting line between the Rangitikei and the river navigation, through the open and bush country of the Oroua and Upper Manawatu. The River Manawatu has a depth of water on the bar varying from 9 to 12 feet, and is navigable for vessels of that draught for nearly 40 miles (by the River) from the mouth. The timbered sections to be offered for sale form the extreme end of a rich flat block of forest land of great extent (about 60,000 acres) a considerable portion of which is covered with the finest totara timber. The road through these sections opens up the extensive plains between the Rangitikei and the Manawatu to the River, which is the natural and only outlet to that district. This road will also form part of a line of inland road from Wellington to Wanganui. Cobb and Co.'s coaches will, after the 15th December, 1865, run at least twice a week between Wellington and Manawatu, and every information can be obtained from the Survey Office at Manawatu by intending purchasers. Lithographed maps, showing the position of the lands to be sold, will be immediately prepared for sale to the public ; and as soon as possible, before the sale, a map with full particulars of the sections of land for sale will also be published. A future notice will be issued giving the day on which this land will be offered for sale, and full particulars as to upset price, size of lots, &c , will be published. A FOLLETT HALCOMBE.
