The Australian Agricultural Company, after having for the last
20 years confined its operations to cultivating and grazing estates
(eomprlsing 1,000,000 acres), which were selected with great care in
New South Wales, has determined in offering for sale or lease all that
Portion containing 500,000 Peres situated near the excellent harbour
of Port Stephne (100 miles from Sydney, and its 50,000 inhabitants).
This estate is bounded lay the river Manning, intersected by other
streams, and provided with roads and bridges, which have been con-
structed by the Company at a cost of many thousand pounds. Also
Churches and schools. A resident clergyman, schoolmaster, and
geon are paid by the Company, for the benefit of their servants.
Farms and Vineyards, which have been long in cultivation, with
tXcellent homesteads attached, will be offered for Sale at Twenty
Years' purchase on the estimated annual value. The uncultivated
land will be sold in lots of 50 acres and upwards, at 11. per acre ;
each 501. paid in England entitling the purchaser to a choice, and a
free passage, in one of the Company's ship., to Port Stephen. Each
lot will include a right of pasturage for stock on adjoining land at
a low poll tax. The company are willing to lease land for ten years.
With a right of purchase of £1 per acre during that term. 'I hey are
also able to offer cattle, horses, and fine woolled sheep, of the purest
breeds, on advantageous terms. Cuttings, plants, and seeds, may
be obtained from the Company's gardens, orchards, and vineyards.
Purchasers, immediately on landing at Port Stephen, will be re-
Calved by the agents of the Company—forwarded to the agricultural
iistrict, about 20 miles—and allowed to occupy buildings belonging
to the Company at a trifling rent for a reasonable period.

tary, George Engstrom, Esq., 12, King's Arms-yard, London.

SPECIAL NOTICE.—The attention of the
Public is respectfully requested to the Eleventh Annual Re-
port of the SCOTTISH PROVIDENT INSTITUTION, for Mutual
Life Assurance. The Report details various important and bene-
ficial resolution•, the adoption of which has removed several pre-
viously existing causes of forfeiture, and has rendered all policies in-
disputable, except on the ground of fraud.
