Township of Te Maire, on the banks of the Manawatu, two days walk from Port Nicholson. MESSRS. HORT, MOCATTA, and CO., have received instructions from the proprietors Captain E. Daniell, F. A. Molesworth, and. J. Watt, Esqrs ; , and will shortly ofler for sale by public auction, 283 ALLOTMENTS IN THE TOWNSHIP OF TE MAIRE. The proprietors intending to establish a township at Manawatu have been at great pains in personally examining that district, and were fortunate enough at the late selection of Country Land, to obtain the very sections which appeared to them the most eligible and advantageous for the purpose. They entrusted the preparation of the plan to ROBERT PARK, Esq., SURVEYOR, And that gentleman has surveyed and judiciously laid out the sections as a township, with ample reserves for WHARFS, QUAYS, EXCHANGE,' CUSTOM HOUSE, MARKET PLACE, CHURCH, CEMETRY, COURT HOUSE, AND BOTANICAL GARDENS, and amongst other things a reserve for the MECHANIC'S INSTITUTE has not been overlooked. The township consists of 58G allotments, of which the proprietors retain one half in their own hands, and ofler for sale the remainder, consisting of 283 HALF-ACRE ALLOTMENTS. The allotments for sale and reserve were decided by lot, and while the proprietors selected their own, Mr. Park chose those intended for sale, which are decidedly better on an average than those which the proprietors have been enabled to reserve for themselves. THE WHOLE OF THE PROCEEDS of the SALE will be expended on the IMPROVEMENT OF THE TOWN, and the CONSTRUCTION OF WHARFS, QUAYS, &c, And will be managed and regulated by a Committee of seven consisting of — Capt. DANIELL, Mr. MOLES WORTH, Mr. WATT, and FOUR to be elected by the purchasers from amongst themse'ves. The proprietors are confident that their own interests will be more eflfc tually secwed, by sacrificing one half of their sections in this mode, while the purchasers will have the whole of the purchase money returned to them in im proving and enhancing the value of their own properly. The whole of the Land is perfectly flat, and the soil of the richest description, while the prevailing winds arc never so violent as they are in the neighbouring districts. Vessels of a large draught of water can lay alongside the bank at all times of the tide, as theic is a depth of nearly four fathonu close in. The Auctioneers would call attention to the fact of there being A LARGE SAW MILL ALREADY ESTABLISHED a short distance from ilie intended site of the Town; and, as the whole of the allotments abound in groves of splendid timber, THE PURCHASE MONEY WILL BE RETURNED WITH INTEREST in a very short period, as sawn timber will be a staple article of export from Manawatu to the ready market afforded by the neighbouring settlements, to which abundance of small craft will at all times afford the means of conveyance. A great portion of the land surrounding the Town being in the possession of the Proprietors of the Township, will be let out in small farms of from rive to ten acres, on easy leases. The district is the best that has yet been given out in New Zealand for AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES, as well as for GRAZING AND BREEDING STOCK; AND DAIRY FARMS might be carried on with success. SHIP BUILDING might also advantageously be established, from the facilities afforded by this really splendid river, and the quality of the timber, ou its banks. It may be remarked, that the natives neither dispute the titles to the land, nor do they offer any annoyance to settlers. , Full particulars can be obtained on application to the Auctioneers, where a Plan of the Township of Te Marie can be seen. Day of sale will be specified in a future advertisement. April 22, 1842.
