I 3 Y HIS MAJESTY'S LETTERS PATENT. THE prevailing opinion of the impurity of the Water supplied to the Inhabitants of this City, is I t'en founded, and so amply borne out by the numerous p m itnonials o f th e mos t E m i nen t o f th e Metropolitan L it " tY, that any comment in this place would appear questioning the national common sense. We will theref ore con fi ne our observations to the evidence given by lir. huts JouxsoN and Dr. KERRISON, in their exa nliattion in the House of Commons.

GEORGE ROBINS is -directed to SELL by AUCTION, in One Lot, at the Auc tion Mart, London, on THURSDAY, May 21, at Twelve, (unless previously disposed of by Private Contract.) This most desirable Property presents to the Capitalist an advantageous mode of Investment, and to the Field Sportsman. and Agriculturist an inexhaustible source of pleasure and profitable amusement. . . This Estate consists of the MANOR OR LORDSHIP OF ALBRIGHTON, well stocked with game, and of the entire Township of Albrighton, containing 835 Acres of Land, now in the pos session of respectable tenants (except 87 Acres of Wood land, in hand) at several yearly rents, amounting together to 1,0801., and upwards. Al,° the PERPETUAL ADVOWSON or RIGHT of PRESENTATION to the FREE CHAPEL of AL BRIGHTON. Also the GREAT or RECTORIAL TITHES of the adjoining TOWNSHIPS of GREAT and LITTLE WOB LASCOT. TIIIS ALBRIGHTON ESTATE possesses unusually great local and other advantages:— First—ft is situate within two miles of the POPULOUS TOWN OF SHREWSBURY, proverbial for the opulence, rank, and fashion of its inhabi tants, and not loss so for the goodness of its markets, afford ing to the Grazier and Agriculturist a ready sale for the produce of their farms, whatever it may be, close to their own doors, and affording them also the opportunity of ob taining dung and other manure for their land, at a mode rate expence, besides being within three miles of lime; and, next— THE LAND IS FREE OF TITHE, With the exception of a certain portion of corn and hay tithe, and besides, free of parochial rates and dues, the Chapelry and Township of Albrighton maintaining its own poor, by which all the rates and ,taxes of the farmer are comparatively nothing, not exceeding upon an average of years Is. to 15d. in the pound; and next—Coal of a good quality, and not difficult of access, is - known to be in part of the Estate, and which, in the opinion of per sons well acquainted with such matters, might be worked with considerable prospects of advantage by any monied proprietor of judgment and spirit. Annexed there is an ancient, yet a substantially built Mansion on the Estate, the residence of former owners, now oscupied by a farmer, and which at an easy expence might be restored . to its former splendour, a circumstance of no small importance to a Sportsman, from the House being in the centre of the Shropshire Hunt, and a Pack of Harriers being kept in the adjoining parish. Upon the whole, to any person wishing to invest money in the purchase of Land, either for occupation or investment, such an opportunity as the present very rarely occurs. If sequired, half the purchase-money may remain on security of the Estate. Any farther necessary information may be obtained upon application to Mr. Charles Harrison, solicitor, 43, Lincoln's-inn-fields, London ; Messrs. Barley and Scarab, solicitors, Shrewsbury; and Mr. George Robins, of Co vent•garden, London ; who is authorised to treat fur the sale of the whole, by Private Contract. Mr. James Brown, of Albrighton, will show the Estate, as will Messrs. Yates and Elsmore, the principal tenants. Printed particulars may be had in due time at Mr. George Robins's Offices, London. A COLLECTION OF JEWELS Of the most fashionable deseription, Service of very hand some Chased Plate, 7000 oz., and Plated Table Service covered with silver, together with a variety of valuable Property of an ornamental character, including Bronzes, Buhl, and Ormolu Commodes, Clocks, &c., the pro perty of a Gentleman of consideration, and must be sold unreservedly. _ _ GEORGE ROBINS begs very re lyx spectfully to announce that he has been directed by a Gentleman of Rank to offer for unreserved SALE, at Lis Great Rooms, in Covent-garden, on THURSDAT, the sth day of March, and following Days, at Twelve o'Clock, AN EXTENSIVE COLLECTION OF JEWELS AND JEWELLERY, embracing much of beauty and splendour. It has been purchased from the Magazine of one of the first Goldsmiths and Jewellers in London, and the following will be found conspicuous for their splendour andintrinsie worth : BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND AND EMERALD NECK LACES AND BUTTERFLY of great value, diamond ear-rings, bracelets, combs, dia mond, and ruby braeelets ; and diamond and sapphire ear rings, cross, ruby, and diamond suite; and many very beau tiful ornaments, aii,l complete for fashion and design ; 100 carats of emeralds and rubies ; valuable gold anuff-boses ; gold guard chains, and a profitsion of other articles ; also, A SERVICE OF CHASED PLATE, 7000 Ounces, including King's pattern table spoons, forks and knives, large salvers, splendid soup and sauce tureens en suits. THE NOBLE WARWICK VASE. The Arts and Sciences voted their medal for the classical execution of this vase. Superb candelabras, exquisitely chased tripods and epergnes, elegant plateau dishes with covers, ragout ditto, a noble cup on pedestal, ice pails, cups and covers, candlesticks and branches, A - SPLENDID SILVER GILT TEA AND COFFEE EQUIPAGE, waiters, inkstands, and an infinity of articles for the table and sideboard. A MAGNIFICENT DRESSING CASE, fitted with massive silver-gilt, chased, and elegantly-turned silver and gold ornaments, and finished at an expence ex ceeding 1000 guineas, late the property of JOSEPH IIAYNE, ESQ. Also a complete SERVICE OF EXCELLENT PLATED ARTICLES, covered with silver, comprising veni►en dishes and covers, tea waiters, wine coolers, an antique chimney clock, su perior gold watches ; likewise several MAGNIFICENT BUHL COMMODES & ARMOIRES, CANDELABRAS, and ANCIENT BRONZES.

Also THE MULBERRY TREE-BOX. made of the wood of the renowned tree planted by OUR IMMORTAL BA RD at Stratford-on- Avon. The authen ticity of ►his box is placed beyond doubt; a most respect able man (a tenant of the late Duke of Dorset) made an affi davit that it was front the genuine tree, before a kighly es teemed clergyman, who is now living to corroborate this interesting fact. French docks with pedestals, and nume rous ornaments of great rarity. There nre especial reasons that the sale of the whole should be peremptory. The Collection will be on view the Friday and Saturday previous, when descriptive catalogues may he had at the Office of Mr. George Robins, Covent-garden. The object of this great discovery may he thus abridged : It will supersede the ordinary crank IN STEAM ENGINES, the Rohinett, great beam, parallel motion, external fly wheel, reducing all friction, and leaving no other labour on the piston but the work intended to be accomplished. This " original motion," universal in its action, is simple in its combination, and may be adapted to kLI KINDS OF MACHINERY, WITH OR WITHOUT STEAM. The propulsion of ships, canal and other boats, chain force and other pumps, to carriages of all descriptions. Amongst its manifold advantages, it may be stated that its effect is equal in every position. It is a direct and perfectly rectilinear motion, and its movement easy and smooth, by means of having only two revolving wheels to put the whole in motion. It is more compact, and its weight less, than other engines, and it possesses a manifest increase of power ; beside's which, its immense saving in fuel, and its moderate cost in erection, are advantages that it is believed only require to be known to be duly appreciated. The Model may be viewed at Mr. R. Barlow's (the pa tentee), No. 58, Quadrant, in Regent-street, who will attend until the sale, to explain more particularly its va luable properties. Printed particulars (with a full description), may be had also at the Mart, and in Corent-garden. THE CELEBRATED COLLECTION OF THE HIGHLY-ESTEEMED WORKS OF BENJAMIN WEST, ESQ., THE LATE PRESIDENT OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY; TOGETHER WITH THE SPLENDID EXHIBITION ROOMS, ERECTED BY MR. NASH, AT AN EXPENCE EXCEEDING 4,000 POUNDS, AND THE RESIDENCE OF THE VENERABLE DECEASED, IN NEWMAN- STREET. NV. GEORGE ROBINS has the grati fication to announce to the Public, and more especially those who encourage the FINE ARTS, that it has been his good fortune to be honoured by the Executers of the revered and highly-gifted Artist, BENJAMIN WEST, LATE PRESIDENT OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY, To offer for unreserved competition, on, FRIDAY and SATURDAY, the 15th and 16th days of May, at 12 o'Clock, THE UNEQUALLED COLLECTION OF HISTORICAL PICTURES, Including 170 of the SUBLINIE EFFORTS of his vast and comprehensive mind. The great renown acquired by this distinguished orna ment of his Art, will necessarily circumscribe the necessity of going into a very long detail : this is fortunate, inas much as the appalling difficulty of doing strict justice would weaken the humble effort, and thus render more im perfect a sketch, that pretends not to give more than a very faint outline of the brilliant picture, to which a much snore talented man would feel himself incompetent to do adequate justice to. In viewing this SPLENDID EXHIBITION or THE FOUNDER AND FATHER or BRITISH HISTORICAL PAINTING, The nation at large will lament that in times like these, when the march of intellect and improvement has made such rapid strides, so great a treasure as - AIR. WEST'S GALLERY Should be left to the hazard and uncertainty of the ham mer; it was surely not appreciating too highly the English taste and liberality to contemplate THE BRITISH INSTITUTION AND NATIONAL GALLERY Becoming the depository of this entire Collection, and thus transmit to posterity a proud record of what could be accom plished by an Englishman, and in that peculiar art, which had so long remained in its infancy. It was by the generous devotion of his pencil to the noblest aim of his profession, that first brought British Painting into direct association with the Throne, and raised it into an object of national importance in the mind of his Sovereign. It will almost partake of the work of supererogation to state, that until the year 1768, Historical Painting was in no wise encouraged in England, and the immortal West encoun • tered the trial in fear and trembling : how well he suc ceeded future generations will acknowledge,—and the pre sent will, it is believed, add their concurring testimony.— For this proud testimonial of having raised the character of English Historical Art, the public are mainly indebted to the kind and fostering eneonrigement of his LATE MAJEST)t, GEORGE TUE THIRD, Who, in the singleness of his mind, and unbounded libe rality, commanded the late President to paint TWENTY TWO PICTURES, tO adorn THE ROYAL CHAPEL IN WINDSOR. Our pre.ent Monarch was graciously pleased to restore to Mr. West's family these precious gems; they include the SUBLIME COMPOSITION, MOSES RECEIVING THE LAWS, The universal Deluge and the Crucifixion of Our Saviour. The remaining ones are all appropriate for Altar Pieces. It would fae exceed the limit of an advertisement to men tion separately all the Pictures: a very few will demon strate the treat which is in store for those who have not been so fortunate as to see them. CHRIST REJECTED BY THE JEWS, (And for which 10,0001. was refused) was exhibited in Pall-mall, and 240,000 persons were gratified by a sight of it. DEATH ON THE PALE HORSE, Representing the opening of the first five Seals : the effect proposed to be excited by this Picture is the terribly sub lime, and its various modifications, until lost in the oppo site extremes of pity and horrer,—a sentiment which Painting had not, until then, attempted successfully to awaken. This is indeed a chef d'couvre ; and the same panegyric might be safely pronounced on the remaining 150 Pictures. The space allotted for this purpose however, insufficient, and this imperfect description will end by intreating especial attention to the following : Expulsion of Adam and Eve The Overthrow of the Old The Deluge Beast and False Prophet Abraham and Isaac Telemachus and Mentor on The Resurrection the Island Peter and John Cicero discovering the Tomb The Three Marys The &nen Serpent Saul Prophesying- St. Paul shaking the Viper Christ healing the Infirm of Archimedes Death of Wolfe Mark Anthony showing the Itube and NiTill of Cooar. Thus has Mr. 'West left for the admiration of the pre sent.and succeeding generations, A SUBLIME SERIES OF PICTURES, From Sacred and Profane History, Poetry, and ori ginal fancy, including the greater portion of the labour of his long and meritorious life, as THE ONLY LEGACY FOR HIS CHILDREN. In America, the exhihition of ONE of Mr. West's Pic tures,—The Healing of the Infirm in the Temple,—(which be presented to the Hospital of Philadelphia gratuitously), prochaeed a awn sufficient to perpetuate the maintenance of twenty-five Pensioners, insides 1,800 guineas to build a roan to receive it. To conclude, Sir Thomas Law rence, at the distribution of Prizes to the Students of the Royal Academy, eulogized the late venerable Pre sident thus :—" His works were not only superior to any former productions of English art, b u t f ar surpass ing contemporary merit on the Continent—were un quailed at any period below tho School of the Ca raoci—aarl he gained oelekity at the close of his life, far greater than he had ever before enjoyed, because (almost to forgetfulness of deceased greatness) the only popular painter of his country.

The FARM HOUSES - ARE EXCELLENT, the Agricultural Buildings of the hest description, and the Tenantry highly respectable. The WOODS ABOUND WITH PHEASANTS.

Also, BI , 4IOP'S FARM, at Woodcock hill, in the occupation of W. Flower, Esq., at a rental of 521. per annum, and the GREAT TYTHES of the WHOLE PARISH of lIICKMANSWORTII, extending over a Domain of 10,000 Acres, of which 7000 ACRES ARE RICH ARABLE AND MEADOW LAND. The compactness of this parish and the proverbial con vertability of the soil, would render it even in times (gone by) when Agricultural Distress prevailed, a certain source of secure and solid income, and necessarily, by parity of argument, now that the sun shines propitiously on the adventures of a farmer, with the slow but eertain effect necessarily resulting from the Corn Bill in view, it would indeed be difficult to suggest a more eligible mode of employing capital. The Parish, it has already been obsei ved, includes TEN THOUSAND ACRES OF RICII LAND, Divided into convenient Farms, Woods, and Commons, and occupied by a most respectable Tenantry. The pro perty intended to be sold (besi , les the great Tythes upon Corn, Grain, Hay, Aftermath, and Clover), includes the Glebe Estate. Tire whole was subject to a very moderate valuation, two years since, and made under circumstances of great depres,ion, when the result exceeded 1,50(q. A-YEAR, UPON A MOST CONSIDERATE ESTIMATE. THE PRESENT REAL VALUE, INCLUDING THE GLEBE, EXCEEDS 2,1001. A YEAR. The Estate is held for three lives under the Bishop of London, subject to a quit rent of 271. a year, renewable according to custom ; and the reciprocity of advantage is so manifest, that it will always insure a renewal when a life falls in. It is upon this principle very confidently submitted as a solid and improving source of Revenue, the mere so, when it is remembered that its approximation upon the neighbouring excellent Markets, and the ready access to that of London for all its produce, will always give it a commanding character. Particulars may be bad, 28 days prior to the Sale, at the Abercorn Arms, Stanmore ; Essex Arms, Watford; Swan, Rickmanswortb ; Griffin, Amersham ; George, Aylesbury ; White Horse, Uxbridge; White Hart, Wind sor; King's Arms, Hemel Hempstead; Pea lien, St. Alban's ; Messrs. Blandy and Andrews, solicitors, and Mr. Hawkes, Reading.; the Auction Mart; and at, Mr. George Robins's Offices, London, It comprehends an entrance hall, in which there is a porter's lodge. The entrance hall commutriOtes with a morning room, 19 feet by 21, and that with a' library 22 feet by 19, and both with an eating -room, 38 feet by 23 feet, also with a ❑ew back stone staircase, from the base ment story to the attics, on which back staircase there is a water closet for every story, and water is laid on to the highest attics. Over the eating-room there is a drawing room, 38 feet feet by 23, that communicates with three other rooms of smaller dimensions, all communicating with the spacious drawing room, and each with the two staircases; over these are 'bed rooms, with dressing rooms, and large convenient -closets. The attics are newly built. The basement story consists of a spacious new kitchen, apart from the mansion, a large convenient bousekeeper's room, butler's pantry, wine and beer cellars, &e. ; also a fine spring of pure water, and a stove at the bottom of the- back staircase, to warm and, air the whole mansion. The stables and coach houses, with servants' rooms over them,- are in a superior style, situate at the bottom of a spacious garden, which is in view of all the rooms in the back of the mansion, as the front rooms are of the garden of the Square. The Premises are freehold, and in the most perfect state of repair, fit for immediate occupation ; and it is supposed there is not in the Metro polis, and to be disposed of; a mansion so well suited to A FAMILY OF DISTINCTION. From this description it will be seen that the arrangement is altogether so complete as to leave nothing to be desired ; in fact it would partake of the work of supererogation to add one word beyond this simple expression—that it was remodelled and completed under the direction of Sir Jeffrey Wyatville. Curds to view may be hadat Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent-garden, London. EXETER 'CHANGE, STRAND. The valuable Exhibition of every description of Miscella neous Property for absolute Sale. R.

Yesterday a Vestry Meeting of tl palish of St. 13e ' tolph Without, Aldersgate, was held, to determine as to the mode of disposing of certain monies for charitable purposes, in consequence of the discovery of a continued mal-appropriation by a public"company, during 245 Teats uninterruptedly. • • In 1559, Dame Ann Packington, by will, gavo certain lands at Islington, to be held by the Clothworkers' Com pany in trust, to receive the rents, which then amounted to 16/. 16s. 9d., of which they were to distribute to the poor of St. Dunstan's-in-the-West. Si. 13s. 4d., and to the poor inhabitants of the parish (St. Boto!ph's, Alders gate) where she was buried Si., and also Si. for the edu cation of the children of the poor in, this parish ; 6s. Sd. were to be given to two learned men for yearly sermons in the two parishes ; and the ClothwOrkers' Company, for their trouble, were to have 41. 10s, Id. This will was discovered in consequence of the investigations of the Com missioners for inquiring into the Public Charities, and it was likewise asceitained that the annual rental of the pro perty was new nearly 4801- per annum, and likely to in crease very considerably. The inhabitants of this parish had been in the 'habit of receiving a small sum (the pit taneo- allotted by the testatrix at the original rents of the estates) from the Clothworkers' Company. No one knew in what way the gift arose, but it Was generally viewed as an actustomed act of benevolence on the part o the Clothworkers' Company, which, in consequence, received credit for being one of the most charitable of the City Companies. A suit was, however, insti tuted by the Attorney-General, at the instance of the Com missieners, against this Company, and a few weeks:since the inhabitants were extremely surprised to learn that their benevolent friends had, during upwards of two centuries, pocketed the whole of the improved rents, which equitably belong to theta (the inhabitunts.) An order from the Court of Chancery compellsd the Company not to disgorge what they had eaten, but to discontinue eating at the ex pence of the poor, and three-sixteenths of the annual rental of the estate were ordered to be given to the poor, and three-sixteenth.. to be applied to the education of the child. ren of this parish; • the remainder was to be distributed in the like proportions to the other parties concerned. - The inhabitants of this parish now met to determine on the specific mode of applying the money destined for the.edu cation of the poor. Mr. STACEY (the Secretary to the City of London Literary and Scientific Institution) directed the attention of the inhabitants to an admirable principle set forth its the order of the Court of Chancery, which stated, " That in the distribution of the charity hereby directed, prefer ence shall in all cases be given to such persons as have never received parochial relief, or have been the longest without having received such relief." He proposed, that as many of the children of these persons as could be instructed by means of the funds restored to the parish, should be educated by private schoolmasters, with whose pupils they might associate without the degradation of a badge, or a pauper's dress.--This proposal was carried. HERCULANEUM AND POMPEII. M. Raoul Rochette has communicated to the French Academy of Inscriptions and the Academy of Fine Arts intelligence of high interest,. extracted from a letter from Pompeii, dated Jan. 15, concerning- the recent • excava tions. It is as follows : " The most brilliant discoveries are daily making at Herculaneum and Pompeii. A magnificent mansion is gradually appearing at Herculaneum, the garden of which, surrounded by colonnades, is the grandest which has hither to been found. Some of the paintings with which it is decorated are of great interest. Among other mythological subjects there is a picture of Perseus, who, assisted by Minerva, is killing. Medusa; Mercury laying Argus to sleep, that he may ravish away the betutiful In; a subject very rare among the monuments of art ; Jason, the Dragon, and the three Hesperides. But the most remarkable ob jects in this mansion are some bas-reliefs in silver, fixed on elliptical tablets of bronze, and representing Apollo and Diana. There are numberless other articles of curiosity in furniture and household utensils. " But as to ancient pictures, it appears that none ap proach in merit those discovered at a house in Pompeii. It is now certain that the quarter in which the excavations are going• on is the finest in the city. The Tuscan Atrium first presents itself in the mansion we are speaking of. This Atrium is surrounded with small rooms very prettily decorated, from which we pass into a garden, round which are also disposed apartments appropriated to visiters. To the left of the Atrium there_is a passage leading to large pot ticos supported by red pillars, and embellished with a profusion of beautiful paintings. " Among these pictures the following compositions are particularly remarkable:— " 1. Medea meditating the murder of her Children, who are innocently playing at dice, whilst their tutor at a short distance, conscious of Medea's intention, is lamenting the fate which impends over them. " 2. The Sons and Daughters of Niobe assailed with the arrows of Apollo and Diana. This is It picture full of pathos. " 3. Meleager departing fur the Chase of the Wild Boar of Calydyn. • . _ " 4. Perseus delivering Andromeda. " 5. A Bacchante. " 6. The Muses. " There are also some grotesque designs ; such as a pigmy teaching an ape to dance, as well as paintings of fruit and animals beautifully executed. These porticoes were devoted to promenading. They enclose a little gar den, in the centre of which there is a basin for fish, and at the bottom was found a large triclinium, or dining-table, and seats for reclining. The gyirccum, or apartment ap propriated to females, consists of a peristyleum, surrounded with porticoes leading into the apartments, where there is a luxurious display of pictures, executed in first-rate style. Castor and Pollux, the household gods, are on each side of the entrance ; the-other principal subjects are—Echo and Narcissus; Endynrion ; The Infant Achilles plunged into Styx by his mother 'Thetis ; Mars and Venus ; Saturn ; Orpheus ; Ceres ; Mars Pacific ; Jupiter Hosaitalis ; and a classical group of a Satyr and an Hermaphrodite. " The exedrum, or study, is decorated with sonic ad mirable pictures, representing Bacchantes of incomparable beauty ; also a picture of Achilles drawing his sword against Agamemnon, and restrained by Minerva. Pictures oa this subject, but indifferently executed, have been before discovered among those in the Temple of Venus. There is here, likewise, Achilles, disguised as a woman, and de tected by Ulysses ; Ulysses, begging and receiving alms front the faithful Eumteus, &c. The style of these paint ings is said to be superior to any thing that has yet been discovered of ancient art. Front the exedrum we pass into a third garden, also surrounded with red columns, and adorned with pictures on the following subjects ; Pluedra, discovering her incestuous passion to Ilippolytes ; several tragic and comic scenes ; the fable of Xtra and iEgens ; Apollo, with Daphne, changed into a laurel. There is a little niche, or sacrarium, in the garden, front which we pass into a third peristyleum. Among the move able articles found in this mansion, a casket is particularly mentioned, enriched with elegant ornaments in bronze, and deposited in a corner of the gyumccum. It contains 42, pieces of imperial gold money, and six of silver."— Paris Paper. LIVERPOOL, FEB. - 17.—Our Cotton Market .ather flat to-day, and the sales amount to about 1,200 ~.~~y.

Every house where a great man has died is specially mentioned.
