POWERS, RUTHERFORD, & CO. have been instructed by Messrs. Roderick Travers and A. W. Sergison to offer by public auotionj at their rooms, No. 79,‘ColIina-street, west, Melbourne, on Tuesday, 13th August next, at 2 o'clock p.m.—, t ~ , About 23,000 square miles .of,. first-class grazing country, being the pick of the Northern. Territory ,of South. Australia, carefully selected by Mr. . Sergison during his lour, years’,rei sidence and explorations of that . ~ district. ; The country is generally open; with no scrub, but very extensive plains highly timbered and open downs, the whole richly grassed, in addition to numerous kinds of herbs, vetches; and saltbush.'' ■ Everywhere the country is watered by running creeks and large rivers, perfectly fresh and navigable by large vessels for some dis-, tanoei and is easily traversed. The soil on the rivers is principally a red loam near the mouth, with chocolate, and black soil as yon ascend to the plains. The climate is‘cool and healthy, and the principal towns are Palmerston and.Southport (which is distant only 60 miles), whence the . teams start with loading for the numerous gold*' fields. ■ The main road, which runs by the telegraph line to Adelaide, is improved and everywhere bridged by Government, and a railroad of ISO miles long is now being surveyed from/Southport, as a commencement of the transcontiueu-. tal line. The Pastoral Land Law is. exceedingly liberal, being 6d; per - square mile for the first 10 years, and three years to stock. Constant steam communication is kept np between Port Darwin, India, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide, and; the’ overland telegraph lino passes ■ through this country now offered. Independent of the southern markets, India alone and the islands would absorb an unlimited quantity of cattle,• sheep, and horses,’ and' the facilities for shipment are great, as there would bo numerous ports available at short distances. , Large numbers of sheep, cattle, and horses are already on the way to this district, and Mr. Travers has started from his Aratnao Station 1000 head of cattle to commence stocking some of the blocks.* This magnificent grazing country will ho offered by auction in suitable’ blocks; but meantime application can be made to the auctioneers, who are prepared to treat privately, and will show plaris and supply the fullest in-, formation to intending purchasers.
