PROSPECTUS. NEW LAND ASSOCIATION. ,4 LTHOUGH ‘-Tbe Abcklakd Laud Amociation” basnotyetbeen a year established, its advantages have been so fully appreciated by its members and by the classes for whose benefit it was more especially intended, that several of its members have considered it desirable that a new Association, of the same nature, but of enlarged objects, should be set on foot as speedily as possible. They are of opinion that there are many among the labouring and trading classes of the community, and agriculturists now leasing land, who would, if their means would allow of it, become the purchasers, and bona fide and beneficial occupiers of land lately brought into market at the reduced price, under the new Land Regulations. But whilst thelabouringclasses are struggling to accumulate means, by slow degrees, from their earnings, and traders and men of small capital find it necessary to have their limited capital employed in their several businesses, men of wealth in the colony, and others who are arriving from the adjoining colonies, are buying up, and will continue to buy up, the land all around us (mostly for the purposes of speculation) until not an acre is left to those who have held on by the colony, and struggled with all its vicissitudes. IJis Excellency the Governor, in reply to a letter which the Committee of the Auckland Land Association addressed to him, in May last, stated that “ he considered it his duty to issue the proclamation of the -4th March last, containing the New Regulations for the sale of land, partly with a view to enabling the frugal and industrious easily to acquire small freehold properties, either directly or indirectly, through Associations such as the Auckland Land Association," and that “in order to render them entirely effectual and successful, no effort would be wanting, on his part, to procure as extensive tracts of land as possible in the vicinity of Auckland, so that an ample choice may be afforded to intending purchasers; and tha the Land Regulations will be so administered as to afford every proper facility to those whose limited means only permit them to purchase small farms.” Encouraged by this, it has been thought that bis Excellency would carry out this kindly interest in the welfare of the less wealthy portion of the community, by layingaside a block or blocks of land in such district or districts as the members of the Association, now projected to be formed, might suggest, and of such size as it might appear they would require—to be divided in such portions as might be agreed upon, and to be paid for at such periods as each member of the Association should become entitled to its advantages, accordinglo some such plan as that of the now existing Association. Parlies inclined to join in the preliminary steps of such an Association, are invited to send in their names to Mr. J. T. Botlan, Queen street; Mr. John Williamson, Shortland street ; or Mr. A. W. Hansard, Princes’ street. Auckland, July 26, 1855. PROSPECTUS OF THE ONEHUNGA LAND SOCIETY, Shares £2O Monthly Payments . ss. ’ f piIE Pensioners and the residents of OneU huuga have recently had two facts forced upon their notice, which have caused to them no little alarm. One is, the present difficulty of obtaining firewood at a moderate price, and the probability of this difficulty gradually increasing by the best land getting into private hands—the other is, that the agricultural land in their neighbourhood is being rapidly bought up by strangers with whom they have not the pecuniary means to compete. A Society therefore has been formed with the view of removing both these difficulties, by which it is proposed to put chase a portion of bush land upon the Manakau, to be worked by the Society for the purpose of supplying firewood to the members exclusively and by a monthly subscription, to provide each member with sufficient funds to enable him to purchase a piece of land for agricultural purposes. So soon as a moderate number of Shares arc subscribed for, a meeting of the subscribers will be held for the purpose of making the proper rules and regulations for the management of the society of which due notice will be given.

Applications for shares to be made to Mr, Lusk. TO EXCURSIONISTS AND OTHERS. MR. and Mrs. CONSTABLE respectfully thanks the Ladies and Gentlemen whom business or pleasure has caused to avail themselves of the accommodations afforded by the hotel at Waiukn, and for the assurances they have received of the entire satisfaction afforded by their endeavours to secure the comfort of their visitors. They hope, by similar exertions, to merit the good opinion of those who may hereafter slay at their house. It may not be generally known that Wild Pigeons, Ducks, Teal, and all other descriptions of Wild Fowl, abound in the neighbourhood of Waiukn, and that the Waikato River, w ithils beautiful scenery, isonlyninemilesdistant. Mr. Constable has always a conoe in readiness to convey his visitors there. In addition to the well-known Harry bluff, Mr. Constable has recently added a new and well-titled vessel to the line of sailing cutlers between Onclumga and Waiuku, so that passengers may now depend upon punctuality in starting and speed during the passage. *,* Travellers supplied with Stores, Waiuku, June 29th, 18o>.
