PREMIUM FOR DESIGNS FOR COLLEGE BUILDINGS. TO ARCHITECTS AND BUILDERS.— The Board of Trustees of the Nelson Trust Funds hereby offer a sum of Fifty Pounds sterling (£SO sterling) for the best Design, and the sum of Twenty Pounds sterling (£2O sterling) for the secondbest Design for a Building for a College, required to contain sufficient accommodation for instructing about 100 pupils in the ordinary branches of a liberal education, and at the same time convenient rooms for one or two masters (in all probability married men), and for the lodging of thirty boarders. The building will be placed nearly in tho centre of a block of land of 17 acres, which rises with a gentle slope facing the west, and is backed by a lofty range of hills. The material of which it is proposed to construct it is strong timber, with lath and plaster outside and in. A preference will be given to such designs as are not above two stories high, which combine, as far as possible, economy and commodious arrangement with architectural beauty, and which are, at the same time, so planned as to be capable of extension if required. Gentlemen offering designs will be pleased to address them to the care of Mr. Jenkins, the Secretary to the Board, at Nelson, on or before the First day of November next, and to accompany them with sealed letters, containing the name and address of the competitors, which will not be opened until the selection is made.

LANDED PROPERTY. MR. ALEXANDER AITKEN has been favoured with instructions from the Proprietor, Mr. F. T. Bebet, to DISPOSE OF, by PRIVATE CONTRACT, all bis VALUABLE FREEHOLD PROPERTY, situate in Suburban North, and called Glenwood. This very desirable property is about 10 miles from Nelson, and consists of 80 Acres of valuable timber Land, and 40 Acres, more or less, of arable Land, fit for the plough and of first-rate quality. But the principal recommendation to the whole is, its splendid adaptation for supplying the markets with an article so much required, viz., Sawn Timber and Firewood. The Proprietor has partly erected, at a very considerable expense, a Saw Mill, intended for the use of both Vertical and Circular Saws, the motive power of which is ensured by a never-failing stream of water which |ows through the property, and which, in addition fb working the Saw Mill, is also amply sufficient for a small Flour Mill, which the district will very soon require. The roads leading to the above are now daily improving, and it is not improbable but that at some not very distant day the road to the Pejorus will pass through the district. ~ ' For further particulars, &c., apply to / Alexandeb Aitken, \J Auctioneer and Laud Agent, October 12.
