For sale or to letMR R. J. DUNCAN baa received instructions to dispose of a FIRST-CLASS HOTEL, situated in one of the beat positions of the city of Wellington, which has enjoyed for the past three or four years, and atill possesses, one of the most extensive, respectable, and profitable business connections in this improving and rapidly increasing capital of the colony. The sole reason for the present proprietor parting -with his interest in this valuable property—which he does very reluctantly — is, that business of an unexpected nature com pels him to leave New Zealand for a considerable time. The premises are in capital order, are thoroughly well furnished, is supplied with gas and water, and possesses all the requisites for carrying on its large and paying business. Information as to the profitable nature of its transactions, of the fullest and most satisfactory character, can be given from the proprietor's own books, and which can be readily confirmed from Mr Duncan's personal knowledge. The advertiser haß not had placed in his hands for some years past a property he can more confidently recommend or which is certain to prove so lucrative as this, if continued under the management of a person acquainted with hotel business. It is perhaps superfluous to add that at this moment there is no place in New Zealand which is advancing more quickly in population, where truvollers so frequently paBS through, or any town where customers patronising a good hotel are better able and willing to support one as in this city.
