In offering the above PROPERTIES, the Auctioneer feels, relieved from giving the elaborate description usually required to point out the advantages connected with the purchase; in this instance they are so clear that every citizen can at once appreciate them. Lot 1 is universally admitted to be one of the very best business sites in the City of Auckland. Theeslablisbmenlistheoldestand has continued to be the most lucrative GROCERY BUSINESS in the Province. The successful purchaser, with proper care, can scarcely fail to realize a fortune. There is no empty boast in these assertions. They areaffirmed and believed by every one. Lots 2, 5, and 4 are offered separately to meet the circumstances of a larger circle of buyers, each being complete in itself; but to a person of sufficient capital they would be most advantageously connected with the front premises. Lots 5 and 6 are situated in the centre of of our rapidity advancing City, as may be seen from the City Plan. In no part of Auckland are improvements being made more rapidly than in the neighbourhood of Lot 7; and in no part could a purchaser find a more eligible site for a Family Residence than Lots 8 and 9. They are both fenced in, commanding a fine view of the Harbour and its entrance, the City and Suburbs, the Wesleyan College and its extensive pleasure grounds,—all combining to make it a site for a healthy and happy home. Being situated on the leading road to the country, it cannot fail to become the most fashionable drive from the City. In speaking of the Estate as a whole to those who knew the late proprietor, nothing need be said, and to those who were not privileged with bis acquaintance, it may safely be added, that the different Lots have been selected by one whose judgment on such matters was rarely known to err. They may safely be said to form some of the best silos in the metropolis of New Zealand, and circumstances may not soon arise to throw such property into the market again. The whole will be Sold without Reserve. Terms:— For Lots i, 2, 3, and 4, onethird of the purchase money can remain on Mortgage at 10 per cent., and one-half of the purchase money on the remaining Lots. Plans and particulars may be seen on application to the Auctioneer, and at the office of Titos. Russell, Esq., Solicitor. IN THE ESTATE OF THE LATE MR. WELLESLEY HUGHES. THOS. WESTON AND CO.

TO CAPITALISTS AND SETTLERS. One of the finest Estates in New Zealand. IVTR. HANSARD has been favoured with the instructions of Capt. McDonnell, R.N., to sell (should an immediate purchaser offer) That Splendid Estate UPON THE lIOKIANGA RIVER, MOTUKARAKI. There are few, who have been any time in New Zealand, to whom this properly is not known, actually or by representation; no description, therefore, which Mr. Hansard can pen would be so likely to lead them to immediate attention to this Sale, as their conviction of their own interests will undoubtedly do. He therefore confines himself to this short summary. There is a frontage of about a mile to this splendid River, in which a vessel of any size can lie opposite to the property. The quantity of the land is 2aGO acres, various portions of which have, at a former lime, been cleared. The land is all of the finest description, a [great proportion being available agricultural land. Timber of all descriptions, especially that most suitable for ship-building purposes, abounds,
