NOTICE OF REMOVAL. JAMES M’LEOD, SMI TII AN I) I' OUN I) E 11, Vulcan Foundry, Albert Street, (Opposite the Clanricardc Hotel,) IN Returning his best thanks to his friends and the public generally for their past favours, begs to inform them that, in consequence of the increase of business, ho has been compelled, in order to meet the wants of the times, to remove to those more extensive and eligible premises in Albert-street, where he hopes, by strict attention to business, and punctuality, to obtain a share of their support. Orders in the following departments exo culed at the shortest notice, and on the lowest terms, viz. : Steam Engines, any size Saw Mills, ditto llydraulTg Presses, ditto Pumps, etc,, etc. All kinds of Brass and Iron Castings made to plan and pattern; and every other description of Engineering and Millwright’s work executed. Albert-street, August 1, 1853. PROSPECTUS. NEW LAND ASSOCIATION. ALTHOUGH “ The Auckland Land Association” has not yet been 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 fool 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” Mould, if their means would allow 7 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. Rut whilst the labo uri ng classes a re sir uggling to accum u - late 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 arc arriving from the adjoining colonies, arc 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. His Excellency the Governor, in reply to a letter which the Committee of the Auckland Land Association addressed to him, in May last, slated that ‘ he considered it Ids duly to issue the proclamation of the -ith March last, containing the New Regulations for the sale of land, partly with a view lo enabling the frugal and industrious easily lo acquire small freehold properties, either directly or indirectly, through Associations such as the Auckland Land Association,” and that “in order lo render them entirely effectual and successful, no effort Mould be wanting, on his part, lo procure as extensive tracts of land as possible in the vicinity of Auckland, so that an ample choice may be afforded lo intending purchasers ? and ilia the Land Regulations M ill be so administered as lo afford every proper facility lo those whose limited means only permit them lo purchase small farms.” Encouraged by this, it has been thought that his Excellency would carry out this kindly interest in ihe 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 lo be paid for at such periods as each member of the Association should become entitled to its advantages, according to 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 Mn. J. T. Boylan, Queen street; Mr. John Williamson, Shortlandstreet; or Mr. A. W. Hansard, Princes’ street. Auckland, July 26, 1853. PROSPECTUS OF THE 0 N EII UN G A LAND SOCI ET Y. Shares . . . . £2O Monthly Payments . ss. r | HE Pensioners and the residents of OncU hunga 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 gelling 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 pm 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 are 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. STARK’S SHEEP AN I) LAMB DIPPING COMPOUND. Agents for Auckland and Northern District of New Zealand, Messrs. Davy and Jarvie. To be obtained in small casks, —each cask sufficient for Five ,Score Sheep.
