DUNCAN has received instructions from Colonel Gorton and others, to sell by public auction,’ at his salerooms, Panama-street, Wellington, on Tuesday, 10th December— The following valuable business sites in the town of Carlyle (Extension), on the Patea River — Lots 34,36,40, 44,46, 48, 79, 81,117,119, 121,123, 49, 61, 95, 124, 128, 133, 152, and as many other sections as will realise reserve.

These sections are situated on the east bank of the Patea Eiver, and immediately opposite the present town of Carlyle. The depth of water on this side of the river renders the east bank particularly adapted for all shipping business, there being from 6ft. to 16ft. at low water spring tides. There is a riso and fall of from 6ft. to 9ft., thus giving a depth of from 12ft. to 21ft., increased at spring tides to 15£t. and 24ft., close to tbo lots now offered. Harbor works, sanctioned by the Governor and under the supervision of Sir John Goode, immediately superintended by an experienced engineer (Mr. Thomson, 0.E.), are now under progress at the mouth of the Patea Biver, which will at least increase the depth of water on the bar to 16ft., thus affording an entrance to our larger coasting steamers. The Patea Eiver is the only outlet for the trade of the Patea County, extending from Opunake to Waitotara, and comprising some of the very beat agricultural land in New Zealand, capable of supporting a very considerable population. Direct trade with the port of Wellington, by regular steam communication, is about being established, n steamer, owned by a local company, being under engagement with Messrs. Mills, of Wellington, to bo completed on the Bth December next. Patea is about the same distance by sea from Wellington as Wanganui, and its exports and imports must necessarily pass through Wellington, which is its natural market. The railway from Normanby to Carlyle and Waitotara is in progress, thus bringing the whole of the district in close connection, through Carlyle, with tho port of Wellington. Largo sales of land will shortly take place on tho celebrated Waimato Plains and in tho Moumahnki Block, near Waverley, all of which will greatly increase tho value of the port of Carlyle for business purposes. A portion of tho extension of tho town of Carlyle cast bank
