FIRST and PRINCIPAL SETTLEMENT.
The Company have already acquired very extensive tracts of
'Lid in the North Island of Zealand, and have despatched an
eb:iedition for the purpose of purchasing other lands, and of
S'Aecting the most eligible district for the first and principal
Settlement.

The object of the Company in making this selection, will be
so to determine the place of their first Settlement, as to insure
its becoming the 'commercial Capital of New Zealand, and,
therefore, the situation where Land will soonest acquire the
highest value by means of colonization.
Wfthin this district, the site of the Company's chief town
Will be carefully selected; after which, out of the whole terri-
tory there acquired, a further selection will be made of the most
vuable portion as respects fertility, river frontage, and '
‘`...tY to the town. The site of the town will consist of 1,100
„,7a, exclusive of portions marked out for general use, such as
tSys,
s7tYl.a, streets, squares, and public gardens. The selected
the Lit,ty lands will comprise 110,000 acres. The situation of
wilCuole quantity of acres constituting the first Settlement,
accordingly, be determined by a double selection ,• first, of
best... 7, position with reference to all the rest of New Zealand ;
17 econdly, of the most valuable portion of the land acquired
ilowine Company in that position, including the site of the first
for n' The lands of this first and principal Settlement, there-
re, if both selections are properly made, will be more valuable,
and will sooner possess the highest value than any other like
extent of land in the Islands.
These doubly-selected lands will be divided into 1,100 see-
tl°"s, each section comprising ono town acre, and 100 country
acres. 110 sections will be reserved by the Company, who in-
tend to distribute the same as private property amongst the
thief families of the tribe, from which the lands shall have been
originally purchased. The remainderbeing 990 sections, of 101
acres each, are now offered for sale in sections at the price of
"Pil. for each section, or 1/. pet acre.
the
'rho
co:turchase-money must be paid in full at the Office of
be gh,e7iPany in London, on a day of which public notice will
toretu.rn for the purchase-money, the Company will deliver
the
purchaser of each section, an order on their officers in
the settlement, which will entitle the holder thereof, or his
114:nt, to select one town-acre, and a country section of 100
acres,
according to a priority of choice, to be determined by
lot, subject to provisions hereinafter mentioned.
The lots for priority of choice will be drawn at the Company's
Office in London, in the presence of the Directors, on a day of
which public notice will be given.
An officer of the Company will draw in the same manner for
the 110 sections reserved and intended for the Native Chiefs ;
and the choice of these reserved sections will be made by an
officer of the Company in the Settlement, according to the
Priority so determined.
The choice of sections, of which the priority has been so de-
termined by lot in England, will take place in the settlement as
ten, after the arrival of the first body of colonists, as the requi-
site surveys and plans shall have been completed, and will be
made under such regulations as an officer of the Company in
the Settlement, authorized in that behalf, may prescribe.
Neglect, or refusal, to comply with such regulations, will
occasion a forfeiture of the choice ; and vest the right of selec-
tion in such officer as to the sections in regard to which the
choice shall have been forfeited.
The land-orders will be transferable at the pleasure of the
holders ; and a registry will be kept at the Company's Offices
in London, and in .the Settlement, as well of original land-
orders, as of all transfers thereof.
Of the 99,990/. to be paid to the Company by purchasers,
25 per cent. only, or 24,9971. l Os. , will be reserved to meet
the expenses of the Company. The remainder, being 75 per
a",nt., or 74,992/. 10s., 1611 be laid out by the Company for
a ,Lne cclusive benefit of the purchasers, in giving value to the
ulrul sold by defraying the cost of emigration to this First and
Principal Settlement.
Purchasers of land-orders intending to emigrate with the first.
Colony, (which it is proposed shall depart by the middle of
August next), will be entitled to claim from the Company, out
of the 74,992/. 10s. set apart for emigration, an expenditure
for their own passage and that of their families and servants,
equal to 75 per cent. of their purchase money, according to re-
gulations framed by the Company with a view to confining the
free passage to actual Colonists. But unless this claim be made
in London by written application to the Secretary, delivered at
the Office of the Company, on or before a day of which public
notice will be given, it will be considered as waived.
The remainder of the 74,992/. 10s. set apart for emigration,
Will be laid out by the Company in providing a free passage for
young persons of the labouring class, and as far as possible of the
two sexes in equal proportions.
Labourers selected by purchasers for a free passage must be
subject to approval by the Company, as respects age, sex, and
gong character.
In the selection of other labouring emigrants, the Company
will give a preference to applicants who shall be under engage-
ment to work for capitalists intending to emigrate.
A scale of the rates at which, cabin and steerage passages will
be provided by the Company, in proportion to the purchase-
money of land-orders, will be exhibited at the Company's Office.
The land-orders are to be received as sufficient conveyances,
and conclusive evidence of the Company's title ; and a certifi-
cate of an officer of the Company in the Settlement authorized
in that behalf, mentioning the section fallen or assigned to the
lot of any land-order, is to be accepted as sufficient evidence
thereof, and as an actual delivery of the possession of the section
mentioned in such certificate; and the Company are not to be
considered as guaranteeing the title, except as against their own
acts, and the acts of those deriving title under or in trust for
them. _ .

Written applications for land-orders will be received and re-
gistered by the Secretary of the Company, in the presence of
the applicant, or his agent, if required, until Saturday, the 22d
of June instant inclusive, when, or sooner, if more than the
whole quantity of land should have been applied for, the Orders
will be awarded strictly. according to priority in the registry of
applications. A deposit of 101., on account of each land-order
must be paid to the Compasy s bankers on the day of applica-
tion,i and will be returned n case, by reason of the above rule
of priority, the Directors should be unable to award the Order.
klaps and descriptions of the Islands of New Zealand, and of
the Lands already acquired by the Compa.ny, forms of land-
orders, and other information, will be furnished on application
to the Secretary, at the Office.
By Order of the Directors,
JOHN WARD, Secretary.

FOR the greatest ameliorations of civilized life,
we are indebted. to the modern division of attention and
labour n the various pursuits of society, and in none have its be-
nefits been so manifest as in the healing art. Early convinced of
this great truth, isIESSRS. GOSS and Co., Members of the Royal
College of Surgeons in London, have for twenty-five years confined
their attention to the successful treatment of a few prevalent com-
plaints, viz., the general and !neat debilities of both the sexes whe-
ther arising from the solitary indulgence which a too highly inflamed
imagination brings like a destroying fiend over the constitution, the
mind, and the affections of youth ; or from a long residence in hot cli-
mates, excessive drinking, or any other baneful indulgence; and from
their daily experience they can with confidence.offer a restoration
of the debilitated to vigorous health. Married females of a pure and
affectionate disposition, whose " fondest hope" has been painfully
deferred, may learn with consolation that perseverance in a proper
remedial course, will renovate general health, and remove hidden
Impediments to maternal happiness.
An insidious disorder, however inveterate, as also Gonorrhoea,
Meet, and Stricture, may be removed without material restraint
in diet or exercise.

difficulty can occur, as the Medicines will be securely packed, and
