WEDNESDAY, 2Gth MARCH, 1879. Q.RE'AT JTND giLE. Rural, Suburban, Town, and T.nnds, in tho Feilding Settlement, Manchester Block, Manawatu, MESSRS, HALCOMBB & SHERWELL have received instructions from the Directors of the Emigrant and Colonists' Aid Corporation to sell by Public Auction, at Feilding, on WEDNESDAY, the 26th MARCH, 1879, Five Hundred Sections, comprising over 10,000 acres, being Village. Town, Suburban, and Rural lands, in Sections varying from a Quarter-acro 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 in this prosperous settlement; and especially to Saw-millers and Bushmen desirous of reaping a golden harvest from the Wanganui Timber Trade. The following are the several Properties which will be offered for sale 1,—9000 acres Rural Land, in 41 sections, varying from 50 to 500 acres. This magnificent tract of country is the pick of the Manchester Block. It lies all in the Valley of the Orown, is very level, is very 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 withim miles of Feilding, and within 2 miles of the railway. It is connected by a good metalled road running right through ir, with the town of Fielding and the new town of " Jshhurst" on the Mauawatu Gorgo. Many of the sections are 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 fine 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 easy terms, jll.—The Corporation portion of tho newtown of "Ashurst," comprising 190 acres, divided into 342 sections. This is a sister town to Feilding and Halcombe. The town itself aud tho country round is being dealt with in tho way of bona fok settlement and roadmaking in precisely the samo way as Feilding and Halcombe. Investors may therefore confidently look forward to a similar success to that which has attended those who were so fortunate as to be the first investors in those towns, " vlshhurst" 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 l'almerstou to Napier. The main railway line from Wanganui 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 the 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 tho central depot of an enormous timber tiade, there being more totara in its neighbourhood than anywhere else in the Mauawatu. This town is the centre of tho operations of the Corporation now, and must continue to be so for the next three or four years. Independently of its importance as a convenient centre for a very large area of country, "Jshhurst," from its proximity to tho Gorge and to tho meeting of the waters of the l'ohanguia andManawatu Rivers, is most interesting aud picturesque, aud 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." Ill,—Thirty 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 ii goodmetalled road running right through it. The whole of this block is covered with good timber, either for Hawing splitting or for firewood;; and as this is the nearest available bush to liangitikei and Wahganni 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 auy working man. IV.— I The Corporation portion of the Town of Cheltenham, containing 89 town and 5 suburban sections. This is a reserved block on the Kimbolton Eoad, oh the boundaries of the Manchester and Kiwitea Blocks. It is about S miles from Feilding. The town sections mostly front on the Kimbolton lioad, 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 sale of the other part of the torn 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 lie the centre of a large timber trade, which the extension of the Kimbolton lioad is rapidly developing. V,—Tlie Villugo 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. The whole of the country round this village being occupied, an opportunity is offered by the subdivision and Bale of this reserve for the saw-mill or other laborers about to make a convenient freehold for themselves. The land is clear of hush, and as the village of Stanway is at the junction of three metalled roads leading to Halcombe, Feilding, and Marton, it is a favorable situation forastoro, a blacksmith's shop, a carpenter, and a few other tradesmen. Plans of the several Blocks may be obtained from 0, P. Powi.es, Hunter-street, Wellington; or, if applied for by post or telegraph, to Messrs Halcojibe ana Sukr, will, Feilding, will be forwarded by first post, free, to any part of the Colony.
