NEW ZEALAND COMPANY. Preliminary Lands in the Settlement of Nelson. Governor. — Joseph Somes, Esq. Deputy-Governor— Hon. Francis Baring. Directors. Viscount Ingester, M. P. Lord Petre Henry A. Aglionby, Esq., M.P. John Ellerker Boulcott, Esq. John William, Esq. William Taylor Copeland, Esq., Ald., M.P. Russel Ellice, Esq. James Robert Gowen, Esq. John Hine, Esq. William Hutt, Esq., M. P. Stewart Marjoribanks, Esq., M.P. Ross Donnelly Mangles, Esq., M.P. Sir William Molesworth, Bart. Alexander Nairne, Esq. John Pirie, Esq., Alderman. Sir George Sinclair, Bart. John Abel Smith, Esq., M.P. William Thompson, Esq., Alderman, M.P. Hon. Frederick Jas. Tollemache, M. P. Edward G. Wakefield, Esq. Arthur Willis, Esq. George Frederick Young, Esq. 1 . The Court of Directors of the New Zealand Company hereby give notice, that a limited number of allotments of preliminary lands, each of which consists of three sections, viz. one acre of Town Land, fifty acres of Suburban-Land, and one hundred and fifty acres of Country Land, are still open for sale in their second Settlement of Nelson. The price of each allotment is £300. 2. These allotments were unsold when the general ballot for priority of choice was held on the 30th of August last; nevertheless the numbers which represent them in the original Registry of applications were placed in the wheel with all the other numbers, and the unsold numbers were drawn promiscuously with those which had been previously disposed of; consequently to each of the unsold numbers definite rights of priority of choice (distinct in respect to each of the sections above described) have been attached by the ballot. 3. Until further notice, any party, or his Agent, attending at the New Zealand House on any Thursday at three o'clock p. m. and producing the receipt of the Company's Bankers' Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith's, for £300 will be entitled to draw in the presence of the Court of Directors, from a wheel in which the registry numbers of all unsold allotments have been deposited, with special precautions for their security and for the fairness of the proceeding. The register of the original ballot will then shew to the party drawing any number, to what rights of priority of choice he is entitled. 4. Applicants therefore will obtain preliminary allotments on precisely the same terms, with respect to price and the chances of priority of choice, as original purchasers, 5. A list of the registry numbers with the rights of choice which were attached to each by the original ballot, may be seen at the New Zealand House, on application to the Secretary. 6. Present purchasers will be entitled to the same privileges, in respect to an allowance for cabin passages, (not exceeding 25 per cent, on the purchase money) as those who bought allotments before the general ballot. 7. Purchasers not proceeding to New Zealand will be entitled to delegate their rights of choice to any Agent whom they may nominate : or, if they should prefer it, such choice will be exercised on their, behalf by the officers of the Company. DEATH. On the 8th instant, at the Port, Mr Henry Angelo Bell, aged 19. *** We have to claim the indulgence of our subscribers for the unavoidable delay which has taken place in the appearance of our first number. We trust that the numerous interruptions arising from machinery out of order and types misplaced, in consequence of recent unpacking, will be considered a valid excuse. TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION .— Forty shillings per annum, payable in advance, or one shilling for single numbers. A Scale of Charges for Advertisements will be published in our next paper.
