A MOST EXTENSIVE AND IMPORTANT SHEEP FARM, UNQUESTIONABLY THE FINEST ESTATE IN THE MARKET, WITH A SHEEP FARM UNSURPASSABLE THROUGHOUT EUROPE, KNOWN AS SLA BBERT'S POORT, AND CONTAINING 43,304 ACRES OF FINE PASTURAGE. R. GEORGE ROBINS begs to announce to ITAIL those who are inclined to improve their fortunes in anothrr and very favoured Country, cod in a climate THAT HAS NO CONTEMPORARY IN EUROPE, that he is instructed to OFFER to PUBLIC S ALE, at the Auction Mar:, London, on THURSDAY, August 18, at Twelve, A VERY IMPORTANT PROPERTY, ADVANTAGEOUSLY SITUATE AT THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, offering attractions and advantages of the utmost moment to the emigrant Fanner with capital, or the great Capitalist, who will know well hew to appreciate the benefits which his capital, with labour and exertions, will command, its a country where the soil and climate are the moat genial, and cer tain, at all periods of the year, to facilitate the laudable endea vour to secure that prosperity and independence to which his bold and praiseworthy efforts will 60 justly entitle him; next in impor tance may be ranked the protection which is afforded by this country to Settlers, THE TITLE TO THE LAND BEING DIRECT FROM GOVERNMENT, AND UNQUESTIONABE ; and lastly, the position of th e estate, which is known as SLABBERT'S P OORT, one of the most valuable and extensive estates throughout the Cape of dobd Hope. It is situated in tille..field Consetcy of Tarka, in the county of Beaufort, being in south latitude 33.15 to 20, and cast longitude 23.13 to lb, near the Iraka River. It is A SHEEP FARM, and unquestionably may be ranked as decidedly one of the best in the Cape. The hill pastures are covered with sweet grass from the base to the summit. On the plains will be found plenty of grass and succulent herbage, on which sheep and cattle get fat very rapidly. In this district the Estate comprehends 43,304 ACIIDi OF RICH PASTURAGE, which must always be the source of immense pecuniary gain. THERE IS ABUNDANT FEED FOR 6,000 SHEEP THE WHOLE YEAR, which, ander able management, it is needless to remark, will afford the most ample remuneration for the employment of capital; and the Profit arising from the export and sale of Wool from this prospe rous colony has lately been most encouraging. Ther e i s a small house upon the estate, with a sheep krall near it; a garden planted with fruit trees and 3,000 vines; also five permanent springs, giving a never-failing supply of water. The late district land surveyor of Beaufort describes the Estates as follows :—" Slabbert's Poort is a good sheep farm, and com mands the best Pasturage on the River Iraka; and as the high road from the Eastern Provinces to Cape Town passes through the farm, it presents a very favourable position for A STORE, OR SHOP, UPON A GREAT` SCALE." Full particulars of the position and advantages of this extensive and unequalled Estate will be published, and may be had twenty. eight days prior to the Sale, of D. H.

NEW CITY OF LONDON RACES. The gap made in the Racing Calendar by the untimely end of the Hippodrome has just been filled up by the establishment of the meeting under the above title ; as that title, however,.. would lead the uninformed into a mistake as to the where abouts, we ekould state that it is not held at I3unhill-row, or in any locality within the precincts of the City, but on an inelosed space about a quarter of an hour's drive from London Bridge, dignitiod as " Hatcham Park," bounded on one side by the llising Sun and the Kent-road, and on its opposite by the Croydon Railway, the said boundaries being distant not more than one hundred yards. Not to give undue importance to our subject, it will suffice to add that the ground run over is wide and flat, upwards of a mile round, with an easy sweep into a straight run-in of two-fifths of a mile. One or two of the turns are rather sharp, but on the whole the Course, which has been liberally tanned, rolled, and bush-har rowed, is decidedly superior to anything of the kind within ten miles of the metropolis. Some commodious stands hare been erected ; in fact, the entire arrangements, which are under the control of the " Hampton authorities," show a determination to place the meeting on a respectable footing. The first day's racing took place yesterday, in the presence of a large company, the majority having been railed down by the Croydon Company, and deposited close to the course. The sport was composed of three races in heats, and was well calcu lated to satisfy the visitoro. It commenced at two o'clock, and, owing to a few showers, was not brought to a close until seven. A formal "list of the fashionables" present is out of the qnestion ; in short, in spite of the exertions of a large body of the police, the throng in the vicinity of the winning chair was so dense at intervals, that it was difficult to get across the : course without being knocked down. The only men of rank who caught our eye were—the Earl of Chesterfield, Lord W. Paget, the Hon. J. Sandilands, Hon. H. Forester, Col. Church, Mr. Booth, Mr. Bambridge, Col. Charritie, the son of the Belgian Minister, and several officers of the Woolwich g arrison. Th e return list of th e sport was pu b lished by Lindsay in five minutes after the last race, thus exposin g th e on l y wea k point i n th e mangement at the Liverpool meetings, where they are rarely obtained under three or four hours. The following is an outline of the results : Sweepstakes of 3 sous. each, with 25 added by the proprie tors of the course ; 3 yrs, ist 41b ; 4 yrs, Bst 71b ; 5 yrs, 9st ; 6 trs, and aged, 9st 61b; mares and geldings allowed `albs.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFO 1W CI li CUI T— Worcester, July 19. CROWN COURT.—( Before Lord Chief Justice TINDAL. ) FORGERY.—Two respectable-looking men, of the names of Grainger and Simpson, were charged, the one with forging, and the other with uttering, knowing it to be forged, a pro missory note, in the name of Messrs. Blackwell, surveyors and extensive mine agents, resident in this county. The Jury, after a long deliberation, acquitted the prisoners. A second indictment charged them with the forgery of another promissory note, with intent to defraud the same firm, and a subsequent count of this indictment also charges them with uttering the said note, knowing it to be forged. Mr. F. V. LEE (with whom was Mr. BEA DON), conducted the prosecution, and Mr. ALLEN defended them. The evidence was similar to that given in the preceding case, the chief variation being in the time at which the occurrence took place. The incidents of the case, although they occupied the attention of the Court some hours, were void of interest. The .lury, tiller the lapse of nearly an hour, pronounced a ver dict of Guilty. The Court sentenced both the prisoners to transportation for seven years.

The Judges arrived here from Oakham at half-past five on Saturday afternoon, when they immediately proceeded to open the Commission for the city and county. The business is exceedingly light, there being but seven in dictments. In the city there was but one prisoner, and in that case the Grand Jury ignored the Bill. CRIMINAL COVIIT.—( Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) Robert Tailor, aged 17. was charged with stabbing his brother, J , remirh Taylor, at Boston, in this county. The brothers, with other labourers, were drinking in a beer-house, kept by one Ilalderson. They began to quarrel and scuffle, and Jeremiah Taylor struck his brother, upon which the young man challenged him to get up and to go out into the yard, and have a round. They went out (the other persons being brutish enough not to interfere), and fought, the elder brother falling on his right side. On taking him up it was found he was wounded in the left side, Assistance was procured, and the wound was dressed. It was between the seventh and eighth ribs, two inches long, and a quarter of an inch deep. The surgeon stated that it had the appearance rather of a cut than a stab. The prisoner's brother never appeared against him. In his defence the prisoner said he had been provoked, and his brother running at him, he had accidentally wounded him with a knife, with which he had been eating bread and meat. Guilty.—Sentence, six months' imprisonment. James White pleaded guilty to a charge of setting fire to a rick of clover hay, the property of William Morris, of Kin mond-le-Noire, on the 13th of July instant. Jane. Ashton was charged with having, on the 18th of March, stolen :3 9 71. 9 s. 7d. from John Maltby, of Beckingham, Notts. The prosecutor deposed that he was at Caistor fair on the 18th of March, and was walking in the public streets in the evening. Saw the prisoner, who spoke to him, giving him a fixture name." He told her she was mistaken in him, whe❑ she asked him if he would take a walk. He refused. On re turning towards the inn, a man came up, and pinioned his arms and placed his knees against his back. Another man an I the prisoner came in front, tore his waistcoat open, and took from the inside pocket a yei:ow bag, containing :3271. 2s. 7d. in bills anti notes. Is certain prisoner assisted in taking ti-.e money. Having obt , ined it, the prisoner and the men left him, in dif ferent directions. He gave an alarm, and meeting two police officers, stated to them what had occurred, and accompanied them to a beer-house, kept by one Samuel Vicars, where he saw the prisoner. This was five trinutes after he lost the money. Identified the woman, and gave her into custody.

Ithe value of about. 2001., which was stolen from the yard of the Swan with Two Necks Inn, Lad•lane, on the 28th February last, the porter, who was sent with it, having only left it but a minute or two while he placed two smaller parcels to an omnibus.

TIMES. —A report prevails that there is an intention rn the part of the West India Steam- packet Company to apply to Go. vernment for leave to run one packet only in each month, and retain the terms originally set tled of 240,0001. per annum ; or, if they continue to run two packets monthly, to increase the re muneration to 400,000/. per annum. So grand an experiment in steam navigation is certainly entitled to every indulgenee, looking at the prospective benefits anticipated, but the signal !allure of all the early arrangements has spread universal dis content among the merchants, traders, arid others connreted either with the West Indies or the adjoining continents, and if the old cost of the sailing-packets on that line did not exceed, as is stated, 70,0001., the managers of this undertakidg will have great difficulty in setting themselves right both with the public and the Government, and in proving that they give an adequate return for so large an additional outlay. SUN.—Almost the only thing to do in this department to-night, is to quote the nominal prices of the Funds, in asmuch as business has been literally at a stand-still. Hardly a bargain in any security has been made durin g the day, and although nu one w ill sell except at an ad vance upon the quotations, yet no disposition was shown to purchase, though the general feeling appears to be that, a rise will take place. Consols left off at 90-g- 901 for Money, and 90 1 4 901 for the Account ; Bank Stock, 1651 1661 ; India Stock, 248 249 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 46 48 ; New, 44 46 premium. The prices of Foreign Securities were—Belgian, 1011 1024 ; Dutch Two-and.a-Half per Cents., 51 51 7 1 ; the Five per 0211;•;., 101 101 - ; Danish, 81 82 ; Brazi lian, 63 65. The quotation of Mexican was 36' i 34 No material variation occurred in the rates to-day, although the official lists, by misprint, stilted it to be marked at 35:, instead of 364. In Shares but little was done. London and Bir mingham were 177 179 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 47 ; Great Western, 86 87 ; the half Shares, 614 621; i•aiintli Western, 614 621 ; North Midland, 59 61 ; New, 29 30 ; Eastern Counties, 84 9+ ; South Eastern and Dover, 224 23+ ; Northern and Ea s t ern , 404 4 1 4 ; Black wall, 9 91- ; and Brighton, 34 34+ per Share. The quotations for the Bolds were—Colombian 21 214 ; Peruvian 16 17 ; Portuguese Five per cws, 331- 332 ; the Three per Cents. 19: 1 , 20 ; Spanish Fire per Cents. 2U- 1 21 ; the Three per Cents. 20.1.20-. There were no foreign tirriials, although the West India Packet his been for some days expected, RAILWAY DEODANDS. Our readers will recollect the late fatal catastrophe on the Eaitern Counties Railway, when lour lives were lost. On that occasion the Coroner's inquisition which sat' on the bodies imposed a deodand of 125/. in each case, amounting to MO/. The Railway Company petitioned the Lords of her Majesty's Treasury, that the levying of the deodands might be delayed until the Company had an opportunity of testing the validity and legality of the verdicts. The Lords of the Treasury granted this request as a matter of course, and last Term the question was brought before the Court. of Exchequer, in the shape of a motion that the Company might be at liberty to pay the amonr.t of one deodand, and be discharged from the payment of the other three, on the ground that as the accidental deaths of all the parties occurred simultaneously, and by the same cause (viz., the engine), that there could not legally be but one deo dand enforced, for the value of the article moving to the death of the unfortunate parties could not have four values, and conse quently four deodands could not be enforced. In the course of the examination before the Coroner, it however appears that that gen tleman (Mr. Lewis) examined witnesses as to the vales of the engine, who agreed in stating it to be worth 1,5001., and with this information th e Jury (which were the same all four cases) imposed the deodands, and assessed them at IZZ. each, making a total, as before stated, of 5001. The Court of Ex chequer were of opinion that the verdict was right, and decided that the deodands must be paid. A question has sines arisen whether the Jury, with such evidence as to the value of the. engine before them, ought not to hare returned a verdict for the full amount, viz., 1,500/. ; but if they had done so, another question arises, whether that verdict would not have been set aside by application to the Court of Queen's Bench. This, however, was not the point that the Company wished to moot, and we understand they have since paid the amount of the deodands into the hands of the Sheriff of Middlesex, in order to meet the Queen's writ, which will issue on Friday next. Thus, justice to the public, so far as it can by these means be obtained, will be effected, and it may accomplish the object so much desired, of making the officers of railroad companies more careful of the lives and safety of her Majesty's subjects than it wont,' seem, from the numerous accidents that have oc curred, they have hitherto been.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS is honoured with in structions to ann mnce for Unreserved COMPETITION, on the Premises, on MONDAY, August 1, and 14 following Dap{ (Sundays excepted), at Twelve for One each day, THE SPLENDID PROPERTY of every denomination appertaining to THE MAGNIFICENT ABODE, SHUGBOROUGH HALL, THE SEAT OF THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF LICHFIELD, within five miles of Stafford, and 12 miles from Lichfield. A very inadequate description of the costly effects which will be found congregated can only be conveyed through the usual mode of a public announcement. Mr. Robins will endeavour to state, as succinctly as possible, the leading features, with the full con viction that there will be found, in every department, the utmost attraction to interest and induce the connoiseur of the fine arts, the bibliomanist, the bon vivant, the florist, and horticulturist, and those who seek to furnish their abodes with all that is of the best an: purest taste, to journey to this most extensive and splendid auction. THE EXPENSIVE FURNITURE OF THE MANSION cannot be denominated of the present fashion or period; it is, how ever, in the best taste, and excellent of its time, and comprises the appropriate fittings of the noble drawing.rooms, saloon, dining room, library, morning room, and boudoir, with many BRILLIANT CHIMNEY AMD PIER GLASSES, of unusually large dimensions ; ORNAMENTAL PORCELAIN AND ALABASTER of extreme beauty and rarity. The magnificent Equip. ments of THE STATE BEDCHAMBER AND DRESSING ROOMS, in rich crimson silk damask, enriched with gold lace, is, however, of the latest fashion, and most gorgeous in effect; these chambers have only recently been fitted up; likewise the excellent Fur niture of TWENTY-FIVE BEST BEDCHAMBERS; the whole of which are most completely and admirably appointed; also of an immense number of bedchambers for domestics, and of the extensive range of offices. VALUABLE ORIENTAL SEVRES AND DRESDEN dinner, dessert, and tea services, in endless variety, with an immense quantity of useful china, rich cut glass for the table and sideboard and a wardrobe of table and bod.linen. THE COLLECTION OF PICTURES, Including those OF THE HIGHEST CLASS, numbers 120. It was formed by THE CELEBRATED ADMIRAL LORD ANSON, who had unusual facilities of enriching his gallery with gems from the continent, and who, aided by a consummate judgment, spared neither cost nor trouble to accomplish his darling object. The rarest treasures of the Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Flemish, and English Schools, in their pure state, will here be found; and where there is so much of excellence it is difficult to select for particular mention ; still the following well-known and un doubted pictures by Guido, of the " Angel appearing unto Peter," and " Susannah and the Elders," must have especial notice ; two landscapes by G. Poussin ; a splendid landscape by Both ; a landscape by Claude; a landscape by Domenichino; a landscape, with cattle, by Cuyp ; a small landscape, with cattle and sheep, by K. Du Jartlin ; a landscape by Berghem; and another by Gainsborough, with six matchless sea pieces, by Vandervelde— one being of large size and singularly fine, and its compassion by Backhuysen—all these are incomparable as works of art. There are also many charming specimens by the following esteente4 masters t Titian Rembrandt K. Du Jardin Zucevrelli Carlo Maratti F. Mola Breemburg Jan Mid E. Le Suer G. Poussin Panini Poelembuig Sir J. Reynolds Swaneveldt P. Brill P. Veronese A.

The cnsemb!e may be pronounced one of the richest in this country; it includes nearly SO matchless speci mens of sculpture, and any language offered in their praise would be far too feeble to express their claims to admiration; the fine antique life-size statues of Neptune with the Dolphin, the Young Bacchus with a Satyr, of Paris, of Venus from the Bath, of one of the Muses, of one of the Fates, of a Roman Youth and the companion, a Female representing Comedy, and many more equally splendid, with a long list of antique marble Busts, all inestimable as works of art; whilst, amongst the modern, may be named THE MAGNIFICENT GROUP OF CASTOR AND POLLUX, BY NOLLEKENS, _ _ _ and several other full length figures, the• busts of Homer, Demos thenes, ➢fare Antony, Shakspeare, and:Locke, magnificent speci. mens of sculpture, all by Rubiliac, and the noble Busts of Francis Duke of Bedford, and Charles James Fox, by Nollekcns, and other celebrated personages. THE LIBRARY OF BOOKS embraces SEVER A L THOUSA ND VOLUMESof the HIGHEST CLASS of literature, and an infinity of works most beautifully illustrated, with many rare books, particularly the splendid works of J. B. Piranesi, Sir William Dttgdale, a Series of the County Histories, the Antiquities of England, and all the best standard works, both in verse and prose. THE CELLAR OF WINES INCLUDES ABOUT TEN THOUSAND BOTTLES, selected with the well.known judgment of the Noble Owner, corn. prising the choicest vintages, and including all the rare, curious, and expensive wines of the Continent ; there are several bins of splendid old Port, brown and pale Sherries, Jones' Royal Ma deira, Bucellas, Barton, and Sneyd's Claret, red and white Her mitage, red and white Burgundy, Champagne, Sauterne, Hock, Mo.elle, Frontignac, Calcavclla, and many rare liqueurs ; Brandy, Rum, a..d others spirits, with a qurntity of Fine Old Ale.

In the NEW FOREST.—A PERFECT ABODE for a SPORT ING MAN, within TWO MILES of LYNI)HURST, and SEVEN of SOUTHAMPTON, surrounded by a LITTLE PARK, and EIGHTY-ONE ACRES of PASTURE and ARABLE LAND, with THRIVING PLANTATIONS, and only THREE and a HALF HOURS' RIDE from LONDON. R. J GFORGF ROBINS is directed to SELL by AUCTION (by direction of the Assignees), at the Auction Mart, on THURSDAY, August IS, at Twelve o'clock, A very desirable FREEHOLD ESTATE, alike adapted to in. vestment or occupation. It is familiar to the vicinity as Bartley Manor House, but it especially claims to be designated A PERFECT SPORTING AND COMFORTABLE ABODE; but although the accommodation within will suffice for a family's entire occupation, in fairness it will be conceded that a little outlay, with a mixture of tact and good taste, are essential to render it an abode suited to those of "THE FASTIDIOUS SCHOOL," but for a HUNTING AND SHOOTING VILLA it cannot be too highly appreciaied7 - 1t;;;;w;171 form, by means of the stone galleries and balconies in two directions, are of an im posing character, and the Lawn and Pleasure Grounds, extending to the little Park, form a landscape of no small attraction—indeed the property is so prettily timbered, that it seems to claim a rank beyond its natural pretensions. rhe principal rooms on the ground. floor are all in communication with the galleries, thence to the Lawn and paddocks. The Bed.room department is abundant, and tiler,: are all the offices essential to render it most desirable fur oc cupation. There is a snug little Farm connected, extending to THE NEW FOREST, WHICH IS THE BOUNDARY. A Kitchen-garden, wailed round, and all the offices that are essen tial will bo found in the Courtyard. The situation is really in comparably fine, the scenery is picturesque and lovely; and those who would sojourn in quietude, and repose in comfort, away from the noise and turmoil of business, yet surrounded by a vicinage prone to sociability, and of the best society in England, will find this little purchase an absolute " Godsend." The Railway has reduced the journey from London to 3 1 / 2 hours; to Southampton it is a drive of 40 minutes ; Lyndhurst is within two miles ; and a visit to THE ISLE OF WIGHT is now an affair of little more than one short hour. Such is a brief but imperfect outline of Bartley House, which is strongly re, commended by Mr. Robins as a purchas of rare occurrence.
