Fow classes of investments can bo named whioh havo, as a rale, proved bo largely nnd certainly romunorativo as the purchase, in wholesale blocks, of suburban lands, and their subdivision and Bale in sections suited to the requirements of the general public. Lands purchased within tho last ten or flfteon years, at from £10 to £20 an aore, in the neighbourhood of Ponsonby, Mount Kden, Epsom, Remuora, and North Shore, are now realising from £200 to £700 and £800 an acre. Bven at Onolinnga (sovnn miles from town), quite recontly, land for villa sites has chaogod hands at £200 to £300 an aero. The St. Hollers Company has boon fortunate in seourlng the foe simple of an eetato within twenty minutes' journey of town, and possessing unrivalled natural advantages for tho formation of an exceptionally attractlvo seaside suburb, and this on terms which will enable tho Company to offer cottage, villa, and conn try residence Bites at prioes and on term a which will defy competi tion, and will, at the same time, secure to Shareholders an immediate, certain, and highly satisfactory return. The estato consists of tho throe properties, recontly belonging to the Auckland Stud Com pany, Messrs Gifford and Hvane, and Meaßrs Qollan, containing somo SSI acres (andincluding tho whole of tho lato General Taylor's " Glen Orchard" proporty), situate at tho cntranoo of tho Wattemota Harbour, to which it has an oxtenslve frontage, as well as to roads in tho vloinlty of St. John's Collego. To many the placo is familiar. To desoribo and do justlco to its manifold bounties within the limits of a prospectus, evon if desirable, would scarcely ba practicable. Suffice it to «ay that experienced travellers have gone so far as to doolaro that its sconory surpasses any thins they havo over scon in other parts of tho world, and to predict for the undertaking a future of unrivnllod prosperity. It is within such easy roach of town that anyono desiring to satisfy hlmsolf of tho truth of the assertion Gin have no difficulty in doing so, to whioh end ovory faollity will bo given by tho Dlrootors or Secretary. The distance by road oan bo co v ered with ease in a trap in forty-live minutes from town. The route is by Newmarket, Romuora, and St. John's College. Tho Directors havo enterod energetically into tho work of oponing the place up without loss of time, and, to this end, have made arrangements tor the ereotion of a pier, at which large stoamors may land passengers in oomfort and safety. They havo also in contemplation tho purchase of a first-class passenger steamer, to run regularly botweon the pier and Quoon strcot Wharf, a trip which (being undor 4} miles) may bo dono in from 20 to 30 minutes. Stops have also been taken for opening up a now and more direct road through Orakei, which will considerably lessen tho dtstanoo by road. The survoy of tho estato is being vigorously pushed on, necessary rcsorves being mado for recreation and other public purposes, including an esplanade along the whole length of the water frontage. A portion of the native bush, several acres in oxtent, will be oarofnlly pro served, and roads and sections will bo laid oil in suoh a wny as to giro easy access throughout all parts of tho proporty and to tho many beautiful Bitos its verdure-clad slopes afford. The Company has boon formed under vory favourable uuspioes, a large number of shares having been already taken up, the Company registered, and the purchase of tho property completed.
