PROSPECTUS. NEW LAND - ASSOCIATION. ALTHOUGH ''TheAuckland 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 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 thelabouringclassesarestruggling 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. His 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 -ill) 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 ad.ninistered 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 his 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, accordingto some such plan as that of the now existing Association. Parties inclined to join in the preliminary steps of such an Association, are invited to send in their names to Mr. J. T. Bqvlan, Queen street; Mr. John Williamson, Shortland street ; or Mr. A. W.

A S the advantages attending the working J-*. of the Auckland Land Association, established in October, 1852, have become more generally known, a considerable number have been added to its list of members, many others have expressed their desire to join in membership, but have been deterred by the (now considerable) amount necessary to be paid up for back subscriptions.
