TO CAPITALISTS AND SETTLERS. One or the finest Estates in New Zealand. MR. HANSARD has been favoured with the instructions of Capt. McDonnell, R:N., to sell (should an immediate purchaser oiler) That Splendid Estate * UPON THE ISOKIANGA RIVER, MOTUKAKAKL There are few, who have been any lime 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 2500 acres, various portions of which have, at a former lime, been cleared. The land is all ol the finest description, a great proportion being available agricultural land. Timber of all descriptions, especially that most suitable for ship-building purposes, abounds.
