CONNELL AND HIDINGS Have received instructions from the Proprietor to offer for sale, at their Mart, Queenstreet, THIS DAY, Saturday, at twelve o’clock, the following very valuable allotments, viz. : A N Allotment in the centre of Commercial -Cm- Bay, with the outside Water Frontage , being a portion of Allotment No. 3, of Sec. No. 2, in the Town of Auckland, bounded on the North by Custom-house Street, one hundred links; on the East by a line bearing nearly south, one hundred and ten links; on the South by part of Allotment No. 4 of the said Section No. 2, one hundred links; and on the West by other part of the said Allotment No. 3, one hundred and ten links. The Auctioneers would particularly call the attention of Merchants and Capitalists to the position of this Property, which must immediately become available, and beyond all comparison the most valuable in the City of Auckland, commanding, as it does, such a large space of Water Frontage in the centre of the principal landing-place. Such positions on the wharfs at Sydney, have changed hands not long ago, at from 120/. to 130/. per foot; and there is every reason to believe, from the present prospects of the rising City of Auckland, that all the Water Frontage of Commercial Bay will, in course of a very few years, be equally valuable. The next Allotment is one containing Two Roods and Twenty-four Perches, siluatid in front of the residence lately occupied by Sir George Grey, at the lop of Queen Street, and has a frontage to that Street of 77 feet. It will be admitted, on inspection, to be one of the pleasantest positions in the Tow m hip of Auckland for a Private Residence. The view of Town and Harbour cannot be obscured by other buildings, as it occupies the crown of the hill. It is bounded at the rear by a never-failing stream of spring water, and is within eight minutes’walk of the Now Wharf in Commercial Bay. Also, Two Allotments in Freeman’s Bay, affording most elegible Sites for Private Re-sidcnccs--one contains Thirty-eight Perches and the other One Rood and Three Perches. Both of these Allotments have Street Frontages, command a fine view of the Bay, and have an abundant supply of good water. After which will be offered a country farm in the populous and rapidly improving district of Papakura, containing One Hundred and Eighty One acres of the finest land in that locality. It is bounded on the North by a wood 5630 links. On the East by a road 4830 links. On the South by the centre of the Papakura River, and on the West by a road 3600 links. The soil is well adapted either for wheat or grass. The adjoining farm is under cultivation, and one boundary is already fenced. There is an eligible site for a mill, with an abundant supply of water in the centre of the farm. Firewood may be obtained in any quantity at a trilling cost. The Auctioneers would direct the attention of Capitalists to these choice properties, the sale of which will offer an excellent opportunity for safe and profitable investment.

Gd ENTLEMEN,—Having been elected I have to return you my most grateful thanks for your support in the late contest for the Representation of the Pensioner Settlements in the General Assembly. I have to thank those who voted for me for their kind support, and also those who voted against me for their moderation, for I cannot complain of any angry or improper cxpiession having been used to me at Howick or Panmurc, where my duties called me, by those most violently opposed to my election. The only charge brought against me that I was a liro'tnile did not do me much damage, nor should it have done so, for by voting for Mr. Brown as Superinlendr.nl of die Province of Auckland, I never intended to identify myself with any political opinions at all. 1 do not consider that the contest for the Superintendency was any more a contest of political principles than the election of a Mayor in England would bo so considered. I voted for Mr. Brown because the office be sought was a civil office, which I considered more appropriately filled by a civilian than by an officer on full pay. When I was asked to represent the Pensioner Settlements, I fell that many might apply the same objection to myself, that the Pensioners got their voles as settlers and not as soldiers . and that they would be best represented by a civilian and a settler. 1 think therefore I did right to slate before the day of nomination that 1 did net consider an officer on full pay the most lilting candidate for civilian honors. Surely this statement did not require that a requisition should be presented to Captain iiaultain, slating that I bad pledged myself to a subject on which ’ belie ve ! gave no pledge , and denouncing me as a person not of upright principles nor of moderate views. What strange ideas the gentlemen who signed that requisition must have of political pledges, of upright principles, and above all of moderation, f believe 1 owe my election principally to the character I have gained among the Pensioners with whom 1 have had the honor to serve as an honest man, and I trust that my public character may never contrast dis-
