It is satisfactory to learn (remarks the Post) that although the auctioneers advertised that purchasers eouM obtain a Jarge proportion of th purchase money on mortgage, yet not one came forward to ask for it ; and the fact that i-10,000 can be raised within a month by the purchasers, seems a practical proof that the settlers of the Wellington districts have faith and means to purchase the land surrounding them.
