AN IMPORTANT TOWNSHIP, PECULIARLY CIRCUMSTANCED AS RESPECTS ITS ADVAN TAGES OVER THE GREATER PORTION OF THE GLOBE, NOW THE SEAT OF HER MEJESTY'S GOVERNMENT. /R. GEORGE ROBINS has to request the attention of IV-IL all those who do not dislike to improve their ways and means at a railway pace, in a country favourable to health and longevity, to a SALE BY AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 29th instant, at Twelve o'clock, in various Lots. The valuable PROPERTY under consi deration may be shortly summed up as follows :—There are SEVENTY-FIVE ACRES OF THE PRINCIPAL TOWN LANDS IN THE BAY OF ISLANDS ; TO BE DIVIDED INTO THREE HUNDRED QUAR- TER ACRES. To those only who are but imperfectly acquainted with geography it is essential to point out that the property under review is now proclaimed THE CAPITAL or• HER MAJESTY'S GOVERNMENT, where HIS EXCELLENCY CAPT. HOBSON, R.N., AND GOVERNOR OF THE COUNTRY, is located, and has established " THE OFFICIAL CAPITAL OF NEW ZEALAND." This is a point that must never be lost sight of, as it seems to render success in this quarter no longer equivocal. The limits which Mr. Robins prescribes to an announcement will prevent his urging anything beyond a cursory outline here, observing that a very lucid paper, drawn up with care by a literary gentleman of no mean acquirements, and full of truth and information, will be ready for the public in a week. The estate is all within the limits of the Bay of Islands, and is what an English speculator will well understand as being principally frontage ground, and is purchased on the spot with great eagerness at upwards of ONE THOUSAND POUNDS PER ACRE, and opposite to which there are generally THIRTY SHIPS AT ANCHOR. It is surrounded by mercantile residents to its actual boun dary : it is midway between two Protestant Churches and the Catholic Chapel of " THE BISHOP OF AUSTRALASIA," and HER MAJESTY'S GENERAL POSTOFFICE is erected within three minutes' walk of the estate. IWcon elude, the Nobility and the enterprising portion of the public will do well to be early in this field of certain gain, and the merchant and shipowner will find advantages at the Bay of Islands that they have never dreamt of in England — a vry few only will he noticed. This i mportant investment for capital, enriched in possess ing an ample water frontage to the shipping of THREE SEVERAL BAYS, a selection, reflecting much credit on the sagacious proprie tor, as being unsurpassed for mercantile value by any other property in the harbour ; some of the latter has been publicly sold from £1 to £lO per foot. The immense profits that the above property presents for the investment of capital, by sub letting for a term of years on building leases, or otherwise re-selling by the foot, is scarcely credible to those persons who have never visited Australia, and Mr. Robins has se riously taxed his many years' experience in the sale of public property, but in vain, for a comparison, whereby a similar opportunity to make A RAPID AND IMMEDIATE FORTUNE has presented itself as in the present instance, as it abso lutely leaves at an immeasurable distance the profits attain able by any other kind of commercial enterprise, the property now offered acquiring daily, nay hourly, an augmenting value; Mr. R. can faithfully predict a similar opportunity for purchasing TOWN PROPERTY IN THE BAY OF ISLANDS can never occur again in England, as the lands in the re motest vicinity are eagerly purchased by the numerous emi grants who are flocking from every settlement in AUSTRALIA, ENGLAND, FRANCE, AND AMERICA, INTO THIS NEW CAPITAL, and purchase with eager avidity land for building by the single foot, at prices that in this country some time back sold BY THE ACRE. Particulars and Drawings (at 6d. each) will be ready ten days before the sale, with plans of the property and locality ; also at the same time the lengthened statement which has been already alluded to ; to be had at the Auction Mart, and in Covent-garden.

GENTLEMEN, AFTER the repeated and earnest soli c it a ti ons I h ave re ceived, I can no longer hesitate to offer myself as a CANDIDATE to represent your Ward in the Town Council. My political sentiments have been fully explained to you on a - former occasion, and they remain unchanged. I beg the favour of your votes, and, should I be so fortunate as to be elected, my best exertions shall be used for the general inte rest of the Borough, and for this Ward in particular. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Yours, very faithfully, Hunter-street, Oct. 6, 1840. JOHN DAVIES. TO THE BURGESSES OF ABERCROMBY WARD. GENTLEMEN, HAVING accepted a Re qu i s iti on , s i gne d b y a numerous, most respectable, and influential portion of your body, inviting me to offer myself as a CANDIDATE for the office of Town Councillor for the Ward, I beg most respectfully to solicit the favour of your support. In the event of my being elected to represent you in the Council Chamber, it will be my constant wish and earnest endeavour to watch over the interests of the Ward, and to promote, by every means in my power, the prosperity of the Town. Conscientiously a Member of the Church of England, I shall on all occasions steadily oppose any designs, from what ever quarter they may proceed, to narrow the sphere of her usefulness, or to lessen that great and salutary influence which she happily possesses. Fully recognising, as an established principle, the duty of maintaining indissolubly the connexion between sound Re ligion and useful Learning, and being most anxious that the benefits of Education, on such a basis, should be as exten sively spread as possible, I will support any measure calcu lated to render the Corporation Schools efficiently adapted to that end. I shall be favourably disposed towards affording such fa cilities to commerce, by the erection of WAREHOUSES on the Docx QUAYS, as may not divert the Funds belonging to the Burgesses at large to the advantage of any particular branch of Trade—and as may not, by creating a Monopoly, capable of being used as a powerful engine for party purposes, seriously endanger the independence of the Town. Entertaining these views on the most important of the questions that come before the Town Council, I offer myself as a Candidate for your Votes, in the full confidence that the exertions of those numerous Friends, who have so kindly tendered me their services, will meet with the most satis factory and complete success.

THE accounts lately received from Macao, brought intelli gence of the English having been totally expelled from China, and that hostilities had actually commenced between Her Majesty's fdrces, directed by her Superintendent i n person, and Chinese men of war; i n o th er wor d s , Chi na is at war with England. And the questions up on which the two countries are now a t i ssue b e i ng o f suc h difficult adjust-, ment as to render it almost impossible, and certainly impro bable, that any more teas can be obtained from China for a very considerable period, a great rise in all descriptions of that article has taken place. Since June last, common black teas have risen Is. 9d., and fine green, 3s. per lb. Fine Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. 7d. per lb. ; fine black teas as high as 6s. 7d., whilst up to this mo ment, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be sold without any advance whatever. The late great rise, however, having caused a run upon his teas by the trade, who found that they could purchase them cheaper retail than they could buy inferior teas wholesale, he is compelled to raise the price, to prevent his remaining stock being purchased by tea dealers. For the present, Captain Pidding's How- QUA'S MIXTURE will be sold at the rate of 6s. 9d. per lb., being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when the commonest teas, since June, have advanced Is. 9d. per lb. HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER will he sold, for the present, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when even Hyson, an inferior tea, is fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d. per lb. Half and quarter catties in like proportions. Captain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no probability of the trade opening with that country, for, at the least, twelve months ; and as the entire stock of consumable - tea in Great Britain will be exhausted before that period, there is little doubt but tea will advance daily. These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUN POWDE R,in Chinese Catty Packages. N.B.—The signature of " Captain JOHN RHODES Pm- DING" is upon every genuine package. GEO. CARLYLE, Repository, 38, Bold-street, Sole Agent for LIVERPOOL. G. J. French, Silk Mercer. (". W. B.

WHENCE can it arise th a t th e o b v i ous security and ad vantages of Life Assurance should be so little regarded in Liverpool ?—that its inhabitants, as remarkable for pru dence as for enterprise, should, on this point alone, be so reckless ? Of the thousands who are toiling early and late to provide for their families, many must drop off long before that object can be accomplished ; yet how few have Assu rances upon their lives, and for this the reason usually as signed is, " that they have not had time to think of Life Assurance." They have time for every commercial opera tion, however unimportant, but they have no time for one transaction of half an hour, requiring only an annual pay ment afterwards, to place their families beyond the reach of want after their death—an event rendered not less probable by the fatigues and anxieties of commercial life. Hardly a vessel leaves the Thames without the captain and passengers of ships belonging to London houses having Assured their Lives ; whilst from the Mersey thousands proceed annually to the States, to British America, the East and West Indies, and to the great nation now rising up in Australasia, largely in debted to Liverpool merchants, but without Assurance upon their Lives. The Directors of the Australasian, Colonial, and General Life Assurance and Annuity Company, have the pleasure to announce that they will be represented in Liverpool by Messrs. KIRKBY and WATSON, of No. 20, Water-street, who will afford every facility for the immedi ate despatch of Commercial and other Life Assurance, and through their Agency the peculiar advantages of this Com pany are respectfully tendered to the inhabitants of Liverpool and its vicinity.
