High street, ou Saturday, 21st November, at 2 o’clock, The first selection of Choice Building Allotments in the Town of Musselburgh. Of all the places yet offered to the public in the vicinity of I’unedin, there are none possessing so many advantages, or which have been so highly favored by nature', as this beautifully and conveniently situated property. It is encircled by the Anderson’s Say, Kensington, and District Roads, and the Government Reserve running along the sea shore, while the Railway about to be constructed to the Forbury will pass right through its centre. Every section will thus be brought within three minutes of a railway station, a good road, the racecourse, and the Ocean Beach. The land is free from the wet which is so objectionable a feature in many parts of the flat; is rich and productive beyond all that can be desired ; and being under the influences of the balmy breezes of the Southern Ocean in summer, and possessing the evenness of temperature in winter caused by its proximity to the sea, the climate is also both healthy and pleasant. In fact, residents can enjoy all the advantages of a marine retreat, with the convenience of ready and easy access to the city by road and rail. The view is unsurpassed, and those who have not seen it are earnestly invited to visit the spot, and stand with their backs to the Sandhills, within hearing of the murmer of the restless ocean as its waves roll gently onto the Ocean Beach. In the foreground are the Bay, the Shipping, the Wharves, and the Railway trams, as they speed on to and from Port Chalmers and the South. The centre of the view embraces the whole City and Suburbs, spread out from east to west like a beautiful panorama. In tne backaround rises a perfect amphitheatre of hills, clothed in all the verdant beauty of nature, topped by Saddle Hill, Flagstaff, and Mount Cargill, the whole presenting a picture which for interest and beauty stands unrivalled even among the many flue scenes which adorn the neighborhood of Dunedin.

The propr etor will reserve a suitable site on which, when a sufficient number of houses are erected in the town, he will put up a building to be used as a s chool and place for meetings, and which will be vested in trus tees for the benefit of the residents. He will further contribute towards the support of the School the sum of I 50 per annum for a term of five years from the time it is opened. Arrangements will be made, when necessary, with the companies to extend the main pipes to the Town, so. that the residents will have the advantages of water and gas.
