W. B. Rhodes and Co. Town of Manewatu. rpHE PROPRIETORS of the three first JL choices at the last selection of country lands, having determined upon the site for a TOWN ON THE MANEWATU RIVER, after several visits to the neighbourhood, and the most careful and minute examination of the entire district, aided by the professional skill, knowledge, and experience of the most competent judges, propose to offer for disposal, at the present time, about TWENTY-FIVE ACRES, IN ALLOTMENTS, EACH OF ONE QUARTER OF AN ACRE. The spot thus selected possesses the most extensive frontage to deep water of any on the river. It is situated just at that point from which a road would branch off to the WOODED AND FERTILE DISTRICTS ALONG THE BASE Or THE HILLS, and above which the navigation for vessels becomes tedious, if not difficult. It is therefore the point where the LAND AND WATER CARRIAGE MEET, and where a Town must be toiimed when the district is settled. It was selected by the Surveying Staff as the rendezvous for their body ; and has been now found, after several months' location, to be the most advantageous position, from its peculiar facility of approach both by land and water. In confirmation of the superiority of this spot over any other yet known, the Messis. Kebbell, after the examination of the river from the Paneiri Pah to its mouth, determined on erecting their SAW MILL IMMEDIATELY OPPOSITE. The works of that establishment are at this moment in rapid progress, and the proposed Town will necessarily partake of this advantage. The nucleus of a Town is, in fact, already created, by the concentration of the Surveying Staff on that spot, as the centre of communication to the surrounding district; the erection of Messrs. Kebbell's Saw Mills opposite ; by the ' arrangements for an extensive General Store ; and by the late application for a Licensed House on the part of an individual who has, since the formation of the Colony, pursued a lucrative trade with the natives, and whose knowledge of the advantages of the position, prompted him at once to prefer that application. The Natives by whom this land was claimed are quite prepared to give up possession, and are exceedingly anxious to have a European population among them, having been upon the most friendly footing with the Surveying Staff during the four or five months they have been located • there. As the Proprietors purpose to dispose of but a limited portion of the Town at present, they pledge themselves that, at no future sales, shall the allotments be put up at a less sum than now offered. A Prospectus and Plan of the Town will shortly be ready for inspection at the Offices of Messrs. Waitt and Tyser, Te Aro. Wellington, April 22, 1842. To Captains and mates of vessels.
