HAWKE'S BAY.
A large area of land at Gi&borne is about to be thrown open for settlement. Towards the end of October 3000 acres of the best land on the flats, including the historical Young Nick's. Head, which was the first land sighted by Captain Cook when he discovered New Zealand, on October 6, 1769, will be submitted to auction, this being portion of the Hon. Randell Johnston's estate ; and early in the new year the trustees of Native estates will put in the market between 200,000 and 300,000 acres of good pastoral country, the plans for which are now being prepared. It is expected these sales will attract many new settlers and much capital to the district.
