jESTA, T E S ON THE THAMES. Extract from “Auckland and its Neighbourhood”—(a work of which large editions have been sold in London, and in the neighbouring Colonies, and of acknowledged truthfulness of detail): — “A few miles still further to the Eastward, you reach the Southern extremity of the Gulf hounded hy the Plain, or Valley of the Thames. This Plain is upwards of sixty miles in length, hy about sixteen or twenty miles in breadth ; and is watered through- ' out its whole extent hy two winding rivers —“ The Thames” and “ the Piako.” Both Rivers are navigable for barges or Small Steamers for a distance of 50 miles at least, and are accessible from Auckland hy canoes or open boats in fine weather. With its numerous harbours, estuaries, rivers, islands, forests, and plains, the Gulf of the Thames comprises a commercial world in miniature.” “ Into this river wo entered, and within three miles found tire water perfectly fresh ; we proceeded up the river fourteen miles. The river at this height is as broad as the Thames at Greenwich ; it has water enough for vessels of more than the middle size, and a bottom of mud so soft that nothing could take damage hy running ashore.” —Captain Cool.

The only description which it is necessary or useful publicly to advertise of such a property as this may be given in a few lines, upon a consideration of which, and of the particulars which may be learnt on application, it will readily be seen that, to a party with adequate Capital, one of the most advantageously situated Estates in the Colony, and one on which a man of enterprise and energy could not fail to realise a large fortune for his family, is now to he acquired. These particulars are, shortly, as follows ; Being of considerable extent, the Instates will be sold separately, if desired, thus— First—That portion upon which are the improvements.

Third—About 1800 acres of fine land near the above, excellently situated, with a huge creek running into the centre. Mr. Hansard has had the good fortune to recommend some scores of properties to different parties within the last three years, and is able to appeal, confident of an affirmative answer, to many of the purchasers if they would not be abl# to realise cent per cent, upon their purchases if desirous of a re-sale. He no less confidently recommends the immediate attention of parties w.th adequate means to these properties, which he firmly believes to be the finest Estates which have ever yet been, or will ever be, offered for sale in New Zealand. N.B.—The following statement is not an empty one, made to push an early sale, but a simple statement of fact : If a purchaser should nut offer within 10 days from the 20 Ih instant, the property will he finally withdrawn without any intention of its ever being again offered for sale. Terms of Purchase Liberal. A sketch of the Properties may be seen Mr. Hansard’s Rooms, Princes-strcet.
