The sale of freehold properties owned by General Nugent, held tto-day by Messrs Tenks and Co., was ono of the best that has taken place in this city for a long time past.

WOOL SALES. The third wool sales of the season were held this afternoon, in the presence of a better attendance of buyers thsn was tho case at the previous sales. Thn bidding was spirited, and nearly all tho lots offered were knocked down at good prices.

Mr Alfred Bucilase's ■Wool Sale.—4S7 bales were catalogued, the whole of which, with the exception of a few bales which were reserved at rather high prices, were disposed of at a fair competition. The quality was a little better than the wool offered at la«t tales, and the prices were about the same—any difference be'.ng in favour of the present. Loagwool, in grease, ranged from 7Jd to 9}d per lb, and washed, fiom Hid to 14Jd. Prices for half-bred, in grease, rul-3 from 7Jd to 9Jd per lb, and washed, from 12d to Ud. 11 bales of cross-bred, washed, fetched 15d per lb.
