The Australian Agricultural Company, after having for the last

care in New South Wales, has determined on offering for sale, all

cellent harbour of Port Stephens (100 miles from Sydney and its
50,00) inhabitants). The unctitivated or virgin lands will be sold in
lots of 0 acres each at 1/. per acre ; 501. paid in England will entitle
the purchaser to one free intermediate passage to PDrt Stephen•,
equivalent to 211. and the choice of a freehold of 50 acres throughout
the above territory.
Commonage will be allowed on the Company's unappropriated
a ljoining lands until required for sale, upon payment of a capitation
assessment of one penny per head per annum for sheep, for a certain
number, not less than one for every acre of freehold ; or cattle and
horses at the rate of one for every five sheep.
Purchasers of two allotments, or one hundred acres, will be entitled
to two intermediate, or one cabin passage, equivalent to 421.
Persons with families, desirous to economise and avail themselves
of steerage accommodation, according to a fixed scale, will be
allowed a proportionate deduction on their land purchase.
The cleared and improved lands (with the exception of certain
reserves for town and village sites, and other purposes) will be open
for sale at the rate of twenty years' purchase of the estimated yearly
rental, which can only be ascertained on the spot; but any sum
paid in this country for the unimproved or virgin lands will be
credited to the purchaser, should he prefer the former after his arrival
in the caony.

years employed in the Surveyor-General's Department in New South
Wales, in which capacity he assisted in the survey of the Company's
lands, and became thoroughly acquainted with their character; he
will accompany the emigrants in the-first ship, Artemisia, and assist
them in selecting their respective allotments, and from his long colo-
nial experience, be able to render them much useful information and
guidance in the commencement of their operations.
