WEDNESDAY, 2Giti MARCH, 1879, QREA'T" j]AND gilK Hur.il, Suburban, Town, and Village Lands, in the Fcilding Settlement, Manchester Block, Manawatu. MESSRS. lULCOMBE & SHEINViiLL have received instructions from the Directors of tho Emigrant and Colonists' Aid Corporation to sell by Public Auction, at Fcilding, 0)1 WEDNESDAY, the 2Gth MARCH,IB79, Five Hundred Sections, comprising over 10,000 acres/being Village, Town, Suburban, and liural lands, in Sections varying from a Quarter-acre to 500 Acres, thus offering opportunities for profitable investment to all Classes—to Tradesmen, to Laborers of every description, to farmers wishing to make homes iu this prosperous settlement; and especially to Saw-millers and Bushmen desirous of reaping a golden harvest from the Vanganui Timber Trade. Tho following aro the several Properties which will be offered for salo 1.—9000 acres Sural Land, in 41 sections, varying from 50 to 500 acres, This magnificent tract of country is tho pick of the Manchester Block, It lies all in the Valley of the Orowa, is very level, is veiy well watered by several permanent creeks and by the Orowa River; yet no part of it is flooded, nor has it an acre of swamp. It lies within 2i miles of Feilding, and within 2 miles of the railway, It is connected by a good metalled road running right through lr, with the town of Fielding and tho new town of " ylshhurst" on the Manawatn Gorge. Jinny of the sections aro covered with very light bush, chiefly tawa; several, on the other hand are very heavily timbered, with a large proportion of totara, and are as line sawmill sites as could be desired. Except with regard to the totara land, purchasers will have the choice of taking up any of these lands on lease, with right of purchase, on very oasy terms, II. —Tho Corporation portion of tho new town of "Asluirst." comprising 190 acres, divided into 342 sections. This is a sister town to Fcilding and Halcombe. The town itself and the country round is being dealt with in the way of bona fide settlement and roadmaking in precisely the same way as Feilding and Halcombc. Investors may therefore confidently look forward to a similar success to that which bas attended those who were so fortunate as to bo the first investors in those towns. " ,/lshliursfc" is now connected with with Feilding by a a good metalled road running direct through the Manchester Block, It is on the main coach road from Palnierston to Napier. The main railway line from Wanganni to Napier runs through tho heart of it, The traffic from a very large portion of the Manchester Block, and from nearly the whole of tho Wanganui Harbour Board Endowment Block, must converge upon this town, and meet the railway at this point, and as, in addition to the road lines completed, other roads are now being rapidly opened in several directions from it, " Ashhurst" must be the central depot of an enormous timber tiade, there being more totara in its neighbourhood than anywhere else in the Manawatn, This town is the centre of the operations of the Corporation now, and must continue to be eo for the next three or four years, Independently of its importance as a convenient centre for a very large area of country, "vlshlmrst," from its proximity to the Gorge and to the meeting of the waters of the Pohanguia and Manawatu Rivers, is most interesting mid picturesque, and as has been frequently observed by travellers in the Napier coach when passing through, " It seems specially designed by nature for the site of an important town," lll.—Tliirty Suburban Sections of Halcombe, comprising 389 acres, the sections varying in size from 5 to 40 acres, This block of suburban sections lias been hitherto reserved from sale. It lies on the boundary of the town itself, within half a mile of the railway station, and is opened by a goodmetalled road running right through it. The whole of this block is covered with good timber, either for sawing splitting or for firewood;; and as this is the nearest available bush to liangitikei and Wahganui the timber on these sections lias -a special value independently of the land, which both for position and quality can hardly be surpassed. These sections would be an admirable investment for any working man. IVThe Corporation portion of tho Town of Cheltenham, containing 89 town and 5 suburban sections. This is a reserved block on the Kimbolton Road, on the boundaries of the Manchester and Kiwitea Blocks, It is about 8 miles from Feilding. The town sections mostly front on the Kimbolton Road, which is the main road from Feilding to the interior, and is made and metalled from Feilding through this town and some miles beyond. The town sections now offered are quite equal, if not not superior, in position to those which at the salo of the other part of the town a week ago realised from £3O to £l2O the quarteracre. On the suburban sections which lie along the Kiwitea Stream are to be found some of the finest clumps of totara in the country. One large sawmill is now being erected two miles north of this town, and Cheltenham must be the centre of a large timber trade, which the extension of the Kimbolton Road is rapidly developing. V,—The Village ofStanway, The Village comprises 24 small sections. It is situated at the junction of the Stanway and Makino roads, two of the main metalled roads on the Manchester Block. Tho whole of the country round this village being occupied, an opportunity is offered by the subdivision and salo of this reserve for tho saw-mill or other laborers about to make a convenient freehold for themselves, The land is clear of bush, and as the village of Stanway is at the junction of three metalled roads loading to Halcombc, Feilding, and Marton, it is n favorable situation for a store, abackamith's shop, a carpenter, and a few other tradesmen.

Plans of the several Blocks may be obtained from C. ]'. Powi.es, Hunter-street, Wellington; or, if applied for by post or telegraph, to Messrs Halcombk and Shek. will, .Feilding, will be forwarded by first post, free, to any part of the Colony.
