The Liddell Estate.

This important sale of freehold properties is fixed for the 19th of this month. It is no exaggeration to state that the properties are the pick of the town lots in the Borough Thore were carefully selected by the late owner as sound investments, and should undoubtedly have been so, had it not been for the reaction which 'set in, on the conclusion of the '• borrowing and squandering " policy of the. past. As Ja brighter future appears before us. any investor catmot hurt in securing one of the many lota that are for. gale. One of the most important properties .is that . "a.t present in the use and occupation of Mr Honore, as a general store, attached to which is the house her resides in. facing Clyde street, audHhas thus secured for itself a lvalue as a place for trade. W nnder.stand that the present tenant has a lease for a further term of three years j but the purchaser would be secured by the rents. Ws oxpeet to see some.- interests take in this particulai lot. One of the beat private residence's will be a^so for sa'e, being that house close' by the railway atation, «nd lately occupied by Mr Giesen. The boundaries are all planted, and the outlook to seaward in over the river. It is • a particularly healthy and pleasant site, and owing to the dearth of pood houses, should quickly find a bidder. Adjoining this last property are bui'ding . allotments, which, wlulst in the heart of the town, may be said t'» be far removed from it, and are fitted for what they were originially planed, and laid oat for, that .is. private residents. One more excellent place for a private house is that property on. Harbour street, looking over th« wharf and river, and was still lately occupiid by .Captain Sawyers If another hotel is wanted, which however wo do not say, is so, the corner section by the station, appears to be the site for one, and will probably tempt some one to make a try. We trust it will be obtained for some other use. as we hare enough, if not more than enough, of hotel property in the town. The other lots for sale are all well •placed, which a lefrenoe to the map of the town will prove. The Auctioneers, Messrs Freeman Jackson. & Co.. should do business, as:the terms are made light and reasonable, and properties purchased now. leem to w, to be likely to be worth money before very long.
