All Titles are under the Land Transfer Act, and can be given within a week after the payment of the purchase money. Sale to commence at one o’clock.—Luncheon The Auctioneers can confidently recommend the above Lands, or any of them, as certain to be profitable investments. The character of the Corporation colonising arrangements are now sufficiently well known to be a guarantee to purchasers that all the country in their neighborhood will be thoroughly opened by roads, and bona fide settlement promoted in every possible way. The Lands now newly opened and offered for sale are quite equal in position and quality to any other part of the Fending Block, and there can be no reasonable doubt that the same rapid and successful settlement will take place on this part of the block as has resulted from the Corporation operations at Bedding and Halcombe. Efforts will be made to arrange with the railway authorities for special facilities being offered to purchasers from Wanganui and intermediate stations on the day of sale. For the week before the sale one or two coaches will run daily from Feilding to Ashhurst and also to Cheltenham by the new road, and every facility will be afforded to intending purchasers to visit and inspect the different blocks. A Special Train will run from Wanganui to Feilding on the 26th March, leaving Wanganui at 8.30 a.m., Marton 10.30, Greatford 10.45, Halcombe 11.5, and arriving at Feilding at 11.25. Tickets will be issued by this train at single fares, and will be available for the return journey up to and inclusive of Saturday, 29th March. Feilding, 20th February, 1879. THE S.S. EASBY FOR SALE. Ryan and hammond win sell by auction, at Melbourne, on the 28th INSTANT, without reserve, to close partnership accounts — The steamship Easby, registered tonnage 1489 tons, and carrying capacity 1800 tons dead weight, exclusive of bunkers. Consumption of fuel, 11 tons per day. An opportunity of the hind now presented to merchants and shipowners in New Zealand is not likely to occur again. The Easby is well known as a comfortable passenger ship, and her largely increasing freight and passenger lists from Melbourne and Sydney and up and down the New Zealand coast prove her to be a favorite vessel. To any one with a coal trade she would be invaluable, and if purchased by a New Zealand firm arrangements could be made with her present owners to take over at a valuation their hulks and other plant at the various ports to which she has been lately running. For further particulars apply to at 12 noon. FRANCIS FULTON, Managing Owner, Dunedin.
