DUNCAN has received instrucL , _ lions from Colonel Gorton and others, o sell by public auction, at bis salerooms, ?aaama-Btrcet, 'Wellington, on Tuesday, 10th December — Tho following valuable business sites in the 'own of Carlyle (Extension), on the Patea River — . Lota 84, SC, 40, 44,46, 48, 79. 81,117,119, . 121, 123, 49, 61, 95, 124, 128, 133, 152, and ns many other sections as will realise reserve. These sections are situated on tho east bank of tho Patea River, and immediately opposite the present town of Carlyic. The depth of water on this side of the river renders tho oast bank particularly adapted for all shipping business, there being from Oft. to 15ft. at low water spring tides. There is a rise and fall of from 6ft. to Oft., thus giving a depth of from 12ft. to 21ft., increased at spring tides to 15ft. and 24ft., close to the lots now offered. Harbor works, sanctioned by the Governor and under the supervision of Sir John Ooodc, 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 thebar to 16ft„ thus affording an entrance to' our larger coasting steaa ers. 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 laud 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 tho 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 Normauby to Cariyio 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 take place on the celebrated Waimate 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 froin reliable sources and may be thoroughly relied upon.
