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 RiverLots 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 River, 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 15ft. at low water spring tides. There is a rise 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 the lots now offered. Harbor works, sanctioned by the Governor and under the supervision of Sir John Coodc, immediately superintended by an experienced engineer (Mr. Thomson, C.E.), are now under progress at the mouth of the Patea River, 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 River is the only outlet for the trade of the Patea County, extending from Opunake to Waitotara, and comprising some of the very best 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, a steamer, owned by a local company, being under engagement with Messrs, Mills, of Wellington, to be 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 the port of Wellington. Large sales of land will shortly taka place on the celebrated Waimato Plains and in the Moumahaki Block, near Waverley, all of which will greatly increase the value of the port of Carlyle for business purposes. A portion of the extension of the town of Carlyle east bank is now open for sale on the date advertised, affording an opportunity for investment never before offered in this district. Especial attention is directed to the depth of water, as described above, which has been taken from reliable sources and may be thoroughly relied upon. For plans, terms, and other information, &c,, apply to the auctioneer. E. J. DUNCAN, Title—Under the Laud Transfer Act. Terms—One-fourth cash ; the balance up to £SO, at three and six months; over £SO, by bills at six and nino months, with interest
