TO BE SOLD BY PUBLIC AUCTION

By C. B. Brewer. At his Rooms, Kororarika, on Saturday 8th August, 1840, (If not previously disposed of by Private Contract,)

SIXTEEN beautiful alluvial and Kaori timbered Farms of 120 Acres each, situated on the magnificent and navigable River Wairua, on the West coast of this, the Northern Island. Four of these Farms have a frontage to the above-named River, whilst the remainder are situated in their immediate rear. The soil has been pronounced by recent Tourists in New Zealand, of the richest agricultural description, being of a deep rich alluvial deposit. These Farms, on this river, have the double advantage of two Ports for shipment, one where the Mouoakahia disembogues itself into the ocean on the West coast, the other at the Port of Wangaree on the east coast, equidistant between the Thames and Bay of Islands, with a level portage of twelve miles, between the head of Navigation of the Wairua and the newly discovered port aforesaid of Wangaree, a port in every way suited for vessels of any draught of water.

Title unexceptionable.—For further particulars and a sight of the Plan, apply to C. B. Brewer, Esq., Kororarika.

The New Zealand Advertiser, AND BAY OF ISLANDS GAZETTE.

KORORARIKA: AUGUST 6, 1840.

Since our last publication we have read Sir George Gipps’s speech in answer to Mr. Wentworth, in the Colonist of the 11th July. The combatants on both sides of the question are giants in legal argument. We certainly admire both speeches, opposed as they are to each other, for their tact and research. However, the question debated is of too much importance to allow much opportunity for admiration.—We cannot say whether we should have felt inclined to enter on the arena, if one most momentous view of the case had not been nearly overlooked by all parties.—The grand defect on the side of Mr. Wentworth is, that he must be regarded as reasoning in protection of his own interests. The mere fact that he assumes to Own twenty millions of acres of land in this country, neutralizes, in the view of the Legislative Council, almost the entire effect.
