FOR SALE FOB SETTLEMENT. ATMS A OF AGRICTJ' TORAL LAND OPEN FOR SALE IN .... SOwTHuaND. UaderD'sferred Payments 80,015 acres For Direct Purchase ... 35,000 acres Land coveied with Hush, -which, when cleared, is of superior quality for Agriculture ... 300,000 acres The price of payment land is 25s and 30j an acre. The land is from 20 miles north to 16 miles ■oath of the latitude of the mouth of the Taieri River, and is all from 2 to 38 miles to the northward of the Clntha River at its mouth, Invercargill of the latitude of the Clutha, the average height above the sea level being 250 feet. The average quality of the soil is equal to any in the Australasian Colonies, and from climatic influences is capable of growing not merely excellent wheat, but firsfcclass oata and barley, and is peculiarly adapted for raising turnips and artificial grasses, thereby enabling the farmer to keep his land in perfect heart by a rotation of cropping; manure his land byfeedingofF bis gre<n crops with sheep and cattle, and ke-p him independent of a bad market for any particular cereal. AH over the district there is firstclass limestone cropping out to fertilise the land when it may require it. _ of large extent are scattered over it, providing timbers for building and fencing, and coal (lignite and the best brown coals) for fuel everywhere obtainable. The district is further intersected by railways, which open up the great valleys of Apanma, Oreti, and Mataura Rivers; while a loop line from the Invercargill to Kingston Railway at Lumsdem runs through the Waimea Plains and joins the Invercargill to Dunedin main line at Gore, and a line through the Forest **"'l District will be constructed shortly, carriage of produce to the seaboard or market is easy and cheap from any part of it■' and timber, lime, and coal, can bo distri buted all over the country at a minimum cost. The average yield of cereals per acre, taken fro si tbe statistics of the Colony for the year* 1873 to 1878, as compared with Canterbury, are as follow : The subjoined tables give the average temperature at Invercargill, Dunedin, and Chnstchurch, the commercial centres of the districts. It may be remarked that Invercargili being situated close to Foveaux Straits is exposed to more rainfall and sudden changes the interior of the district, only seven miles due north, where the climate is both drier and warmer, tut along the whole seaBoard the land is extremely ft rtile, and much prized for grass and root crops. The experience of the last few years leads to the conaction that for all-round agriculture the tnpply of rain by no means exceeds the retirements of the land. This year the - mometer at Invercargill ha 3 averaged ir any part of t*:e Middle Island, most parts of the North Island, while there has been very considerably less rainfall than in any part of the Colony.

Sir—l have the honor to report on five samples of Port Wine forwarded by yon for .analysis. * These samples may all be described as lull-flavored, fruity, aromatic Wines; possessing in a considerable degree that agreeable fragran co that characterises genuine Port They do not contain impurities of any land. The perfect freeness of these Wines from onery kind of impurity, the proportion of ■agar and alcohol which they contain being quite characteristic of unadulterated, unmanipulatad Wine, together with their rich fragrance arising from aromatic ethers, «tw»iH strongly recommend them, and gain for them a good place in the Colonial market. {Signed) JAMES G.
