October Ist, 1840.

IN THE BAY OF ISLANDS, IN NEW ZEALAND.
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.
I\' R. GEORGE ROBINS has to request the attention of
11 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 TILURSDAY, 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 OF 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. To con-
clude, 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 very
few only will be noticed.
This important 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, au 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
AU STRA.LIALENGLAND, 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 hid at the Auction Mart, and
ia Covent-garden.
