WEDNESDAY, 2Gtii MARCH, 1879. RE AT ;ILE. Rural, Suburban, Town, and Village Lands, in tho Feilding Settlement, Manchester Block, Manawatu. MESSRS. IIALCOMBE & SIIERAVELL have received instructions from the Directors of the Emigrant and Colonists' Aid Corporation to sell by Public Auction, at Feilding, on WEDNESDAY, the 2Gth MARCH. ir.O, Five Hundred Sections, comprising over 10,000 acres, being Village. Town, Suburban, and llural lands, in Scftions 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 in this prosperous settlement; and especially to Saw-millers and Bushmen desirous of reaping a golden harvest from tho Wanganni 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 Orowa, is very level, is very wed watered by several permanent cr joks and by the Orowa River; yet no part of it is flooded, nor has it an acre of swamp, It lies within 2.i miles of Feilding, and within ii 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 "jlshlmrst" on the Manawatu Gorge. Many of the sections arc 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 laud, purchasers will have tho choice of taking up any of there lands on lease, with right of purchase, on very easy terms, ll,—The Corporation portion of the new town of "Ashurst." comprising 190 acres, divided into 342 sections. This is a sister town to Feilding and Halcombe. The town itself and the country round is being dealt with in the way of bona file settlement and roadmaking in precisely tho same way as Feilding and Ilalcomhe. Investors may therefore confidently look forward to a similar success to that winch has attended those who were so fortunate as to bo the first investors in those towns. " ylslihurst" is now connected with with Feilding hy a a good metalled road running direct through the Manchester Block. It is on the main coach road from Palmerston to Napier. The main yaihvay 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, " Ashliurst" must be the central depot of an enormous timber tiade, there being more totara in its neighbourhood than anywhere else in the Manawatu. This town is the centre of the 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, "Ashliurst," from its proximity to the Gorge and to the meeting of the waters of the l'ohaugnia and Manawatu Rivers, is most interesting and 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.—Tlurt.y Suburban Sections of Unicornis, comprising 389 acres, the sections varying in size from 5 to 4C acres.

This block of suburban sections bus 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 good metalled 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 Itangitikei and Wahgamii the timber on these sections has a special value independently of the land, which both for position and quality can hardly he surpassed. These sections would be an admirable investment (or any working man. IV.—The Cor) portion of the Town of Cheltftffln, containing 89 town and 5 suburban sections. This is a reserved block on the Kimbolton lioad, oh the boundaries of the Manchester and Kiwitea Blocks. It is about 8 miles from Feilding. The town sections mostly front on the Kimbolton Eoad, 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, jf not not superior, in position to those which at the sale of the other part of the town a week ago realised from £BO to .-£l2O the quarteracre. On the suburban sections which lie along the Kiwitea Stream are to be found some of the finest dumps of totara in the country. One large sawmill is now being erect d 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 of Stanway, The Village comprises 21 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 sale of this reserve for the siw-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 Ilalcuinbe, Feilding, and Marlon, it is«favorable situation for a store, a blacksmith's shop, a carpenter, and a few other tradesmen. Plans of the several Blocks nifty be obtained from C, I'. I'owles, Hunter-street, Wellington; or, if applied for by post or telegraph, to Messrs Halcombe and Sher. will, Feilding, will be forwarded by first post, free, to any part of the Colony. TERMS OF SALE. |, Cash.—By which is meant a deposit of 10 pei cent, on fall of the hammer, the balance payable at any time within twelve months, and bearing interest meanwhile at 7 per cent,; but no interest will be charged if the balance is paid within six months. 2 Deferred Payment. =Most of the rural land, excepting some special timber blocks and some of the larger suburban blocks, may be taken up by the purchaser on deferred payments, in the form of lease, with right to purchase.

The auctioneers can coniidentlyrecommend the above Lands, or any of them, as ccrtam' to he profitable investments.

The lands newly opened anil offered for sale are quite .equal in position and quality to any other
