To Gentlemen intending to enter into the profitable pursuit of Grazing and Breeding Stock, for which the fertile Islands of New Zealand are so peculiarly adapted. THE undersigned beg to inform their friends and the public generally, that they will contract for the delivery of the following description of Stock, in any Port of the Islands of New Zealand: — Horned cattle (improved breeds) of all descriptions, Horses, from the best English and Arab studs, suitable for racing, saddle, or harness ; and .breeding mares, Pure Saxon and merino ewes, Half-bred Leicester and merino ewes, particularly adapted for this country, as they unite weight of carcass with fineness of wool. The undersigned can accommodate purchasers of their Stock with extensive grazing runs, within 100 miles of this Port. W. B. Rhodes and Co. Town of Manewatu. THE PROPRIETORS of the three first choices at the last selection of country lands, having determined upon the site for a TOWN ON THE MANEWATU RIVER, after several visits to the neighhouroood, and the most careful and minute examination of the •entire district, aided by the professional skill, ki 'owledge, and experience of the most competent judges, propose to offer for disposal, at tbe present time, about TWENTY-FIVE ACRES, IN ALLOTMENTS, EACH OF ONE QUARTER OF AN ACRE. The spot thus selected possesses the most extensive frontage to deep water of any on the river. It is situated just at that point from which a road would branch off to the WOODED AND FERTILE DISTRICTS ALONG THE BASE OF THE HILLS, and above which the navigation for vessels becomes tedious, if not difficult Tt is therefore the point whoro the LAND AND WATER CARRIAGE MEET, and where a Town must be formed when the district is settled. It was selected by the Surveying Staff as the rendezvous for their body ; and has been now found, after several months' location, to be the most advantageous position, from its peculiar facility of approach both by land and water. In confirmation of the superiority of this spot over any other yet known, the Messrs. Kebbell, after the examination of the river from the Paneiri Pah to its mouth, determined on erecting their SAW MILL IMMEDIATELY OPPOSITE. The works of that establishment are at this moment in rapid progress, and the proposed Town will necessarily partake of this advantage. The nucleus of a Town is, in fact, already created, by the concentration of the Surveying Staff on that spot, as the centre of communication to the surrounding district; the erection of Messrs. Kebbell's Saw Mills opposite ; by the arrangements for an extensive General Store ; and by the late application for a Licensed House on the part of an individual who has, since the formation of the Colony, pursued a lucrative trade with the natives, and whose knowledge of the advantages of the position, prompted him at once to prefer that application. The Natives by whom this land was claimed are quite prepared to give up possession, and are exceedingly anxious to have a European-popu-Jation among them, having been upon the most friendly footing with the Surveying Staff during the four or five months they have been located there. As the Proprietors purpose to dispose of but a limited portion of the Town at present, they pledge themselves that, at no future sales, shall the allotments be put up at a Jess sum than now offered. A Prospectus and Plan of the Town will shortly be ready for inspection at the Offices of Messrs. Waitt and Tyser, Te Aro. Wellington. Aorii 22. 1842.
