They feared to show themselves amongst the people, whose -origin, whose language, and whose religion they had so scandalously traduced, maligned, and in sulted.—(lmmense cheers.) They well knew that it had been the intention and wish of the Sovereign to have visited Ireland last year ; but, instead of that, Belgium and France were favoured with her presence , while poor Ireland was neglected.--(Cheers.) To be sure it was a gratifying sight to witness, as he had done last year, the Queen returning to her native .shores with the standard of England and the tricolour of France waving from the same mast and fluttering in the same breeze.—(Loud cheers.) It was a pleasing sight to those who, like himself, thought that those feelings 'of amity should never be interrupted, which now subsisted be tween the two greatest nations of the world.—(Cheers.) But it would have been a. prouder and a happier sight to have seen the Queen of England returning from her visit to her Irish subjects, after having personally wit o n n e g s s s ed h and t o e p i r p s a i lo y alty c i e h s e t y i ga e t n e d d the h u manifold red.—(G re at cheering.) lie was satisfied that the result of such a visit must have been the confusion of evil councillors —(Loud cheers)—and amidst the benedictions of her people she would have declared that the union betwixt this country and Ireland should not have been a union in name only—(Cheers) —but that it should be a real union of equal laws, equal rights, and equal privileges.—(lmmense cheering.)

From Down's Wharf, Reduced Fares, for— " THAT THE CORN BILL IS FIXED ON AN IMMOVABLE ROCK OF SAFETY," he may with the greatest confidence endeavour to enlist the early attention of the great capitalists to a mere secure and less doubtful employment in terra firma. The adjustment of the great point at issue has arrived at a great, a triumphant result. It is at length disc , vered that in the exceedingly intricate task, which required all the mind, the perspicacity, and depth of intellect, possessed by our first Minister, in organising his salutary altera. Hon in the corn.laws, he has dealt out a measure of strict and im partial justice, no less to the manufacturing than the agricultural interest. There is nothing invidious—he has laboured, and suc cessfully, to put at rest a very difficult point fairly and honestly ; his declaration is too unequivocal to be disregarded, and it should no longer be a matter of doubt to Trustees who have money to invest, and most especially all such as hold Three per Cents., (in fear and trembling, at the unhealthy price of 98), that terra firma, so unnaturally depressed of late years, will combine two points that the most sceptical cannot gainsay—a larger present in come, and a prospective view (whenever the cause which must re duce the public funds to such a fearful extent) of an increase in the exact same proportion in the value of land. These remarks have for many years operated powerflally 011 the mind of Mr. Robins, and the cheering declaration of Sir Robert Peel has triumphantly established the bases upon which he oonfidently submits, to an impartial public, the opinion he has so long maintaised.

GEORGE ROBINS is directed by the Executors of THE COUNT MAZZINGHI, to offer to PUBLIC SALE, at the Auction Mart, on THMtsDAir, the Ott: of April, t Twelve o'Clock, in Two Lots, A VALUABLE FREEHOLD ES FATE, especially adapted either for Occupation or Investment, most desirably situate in THE PRECINCTS OF THE ROYAL PALACE, Immediately in front of THE INTENDED MANSION OF LORD FRANCIS EGERTON, in the vicinity of all the best Clubs, the Opera, and the Theatres; In fact, its attributes may be summed up in one short sentence—it is the most recherche spot throughout London. No. 4 CLEVELAND-SQUARE, has recently linen fitted up by the talented ARTISTE OF THE DOWAt4ER QUEEN, or Joseph Gould F.sq., one of HER MAJESTY'S ESTABLISHMENT, who has a leas,. at only 1001 a year, for 21 ram, in emsequence ofhis vast and clever outlay. The accommodation that will be found within com prises—two attics, and a commodite on the third floor; on the second floor, two capital bedchambers, enjoying pleasant views ; first floor, two elegant drawing-rooms, opening into each coher,= feet long, with semi bow windows, bAcosies, and verandahs; ground floor, dining parlour and breakfast parlour; and on the basement the umal domestic offices. The house adjoining, No. 8, in Cleveland-row, of which possession may be had, in candour it must be admitted, will be much improved by recurring to the same skill, taste, expense, that has rendered its next door neigh bour so unexceptionable ; and as the tenure is freehold, and poesessien is amo gst its advantages, it will rot be difficult to enter into rivalry with its compeer. It contains—on the third floor, two attics ; second floor, two good bedrooms ; first floor, drawing-room, with back ditto ; ground floor, tw- good parlours ; basement, kitchen, pantry, &c. Th • drawing-rooms have a nretty PEEP INTO THE GREEN PARK and from both houses. Th,, abode occupiesl. :by Mr. Gould can only be seen, by a ticket from eleven till one, od the three Saturdays antecedent to the sale. The one adjoining may be viewed, by a ticket, any day after the 14th . of March. In conclusion, it is quite certain there is no situation where im provement is more visible than in the vicinity of the Furchases to which the public are invited.

GEORGE ROBINS will SELL by AUCTION, at the MART, on THURSDAY, April 4, by di rection of the Devisees in trust of John Sranbank, Esq., in Two Lots, TWO very excellent FAMILY RESIDENCES, most desirably situate Nos. 16, and 17, OIiCHAICELSTREET, OXFORIISTREET, and in close APPROXIMATION 'UPON PORTMAN-SQUARE. The locality is too excellent to require a word of praise ; it therefore is cnly necessary to say that they bath are in capital condition as regards substantial and ornamental repair, and are let to first-rate tenants for the whole of the term at considerably less than their value, producing the income of TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN POUNDS A YEAR. They are, in tact, TWO CLEAR GROUND-RENTS OF NINETY PIIUNDS AND A HUNDRFD AND FIVE POUNDS A-YEAR, permanently secured, as they are held for the unexpired term of about eighteen years, at the original ground. rent of 101. a year each, and as far as the amounts go they offer to the small capitalist VERY SATISFACTORY INVESTMENTS. Particulars may be obtained 21 days prior to the sal e _, of Messrs, Cameron and Booty, Gray's Inn : at the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent-garden.

MR.

K. Ford, and Mr. Ponti-g, at very low rents ; they originally PRODUCED SEVEN H UNDRELI POUNDS A-YEAR. THE PORT OF GLOUCESTER, It need hardly be remarked, has now become a formidable rival to Bristol, and besides this, the produce of this fine soil is available in less than five hours of the Metropolis of London. THE MANOR AND MANORIAL RIGHTS give consequence to the possessor ; to say nothing of the value of the sporting. By the way, we must not overlook a teature which, in days of yore, was accounted of importance, nothing less than a GOLD MINE. Extract from a description of England and Wales in 170 :—" It ought not to be omitted, that at Tayntcn, near Newent, on the northern borders of this forest, a Gold Mine was di , covered about the year Me, of which a lease wasgranted to some refiners, who ex_ tracted some gold from the ore, but had not spirit to fellow it up." Again, in England s Gazetteer, printed in 1790 is the following: . Tavntoo, Gloucestershire, four miles S. E. froin Newent, six from Mitchel-Dean, and seven W. from Gloucester.. In 1700, there was an ORE found here, from which the refiners extracted gold," but they also lacked enterprise. Mining and refining is now a much more simple and less expensive operation than it was a century ago. A spirited individual will, in all probability, find this " A MINE OF WEALTII." Cheltenham, the most fashionable watering place in England, is only a short ride, and is a capital market, as well as Gloucester, for all the ei mince. Its exemption from tithe, to a great extent, is an important feature. The Estates may be viewed, with the leave of the termite, and particula•s had at the King's Head, Gloucester; the Royal Hotel, Cheltenham ; of Messrs. Law and Tindall, Solicitors, New square, Lincoln's Inn ; Mr. Bailey, Solicitor, Gloucester; the Auction Mart ; pd in Covent-garden. IN LINCOLNSHIRE, NEAR TO BOSTON.-IMPORTANT FREEHOLD FARMS, ADMIRABLY SUITED TO TRUS TEIO. V. HO WOULD INVEST' IN PERFECT SAFETY, PR DUCING £2,700 A-YEAR, TOGETHER WITH ALL THE TITHES MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the pleasure to announce that he is directed by the Devisee, in trust of THE RIGHT HON. LORD MONSON, DECEASED, to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, on THURSDAY, the 45th of April, at Twelve o'Clock, in One Lot, A MOST IMPORTANT LANDED I vVESTMENT, Freehold of Inheritance. and uniting very many substantial advan tages-- FRITH'S BANK, and EARL'S CROFT ESTATES. Are situate within two short miles of THE BOROUGH TOWN OF BOSTON: one of the best markets extant, surrounded — bicapiial roads, and adjoining water carriage to all parts of England. The Land in this vicinity has, from days of yere, been proverbial for its supe. rior quality; it grows the best Wheat And Oats, and the Pasture is famed for its capability in fattening Bullocks very quicsly, and those who are at all conversant in the soil of the land will know how to appreciate these im-ortant facts. The whole is occupied by a tenantry of long standing as tenants-at will; it will, however, be exceedingly desirable to make in this respect very considerable alterations. The Farms are used in their ancient state, and are infinitely too small. Sound judg. merit will direct hat they be divided into five or six, instead of the present number; it will then be a matter of great facility to provide substantial Yeomen to get rich upon this greatly favoured soil: but Mr. Robins would fail in his duty to the Public if he did nottstate that the Houses and Out-Buildings throughout the Property are greatly in need of repair ; indeed, the suggestion he would venture to make is, to rase them to the ground, and with the materials, and less than -£'2,000, Three First-rate Abodes, with corresponding farming premises, replace the present works of antiquity. It should be observe! that there is a saving clause to this proposition, inasmuch as Robert Searby's abode and buildings need no outlay whatever, and this is the largest farm. THE PROPERTY NUMBERS TWELVE HUNDRED AND FIVE ACRES, INDEPENDENTI.Y OF THE TITHES UPON THE ESTATE. THE WHOLE WITHIN A RING FENCE, besides the unpretending, but real'y comfortable little public-hous e , known as "tie Monson Arms," where " m i ne h ost " Eno knows and practices what belongs to the entertainment and comfort of his friends. The next important point will be to direct a purchaser's judgment to the rental. The clear yearly receipt for years b ac k h as b een £2,660 a year. The times having varied, Mr. Robins has subjected it to a careful personal survey, and he is not a little pleased to proclaim a very welcome fact, that when the outlay already noticed is accom plished, the property will very readily produce, with an unexce tionable tenantr y, from £ 2 , 7 / 1 1 to p- TWO THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR. The division of the soil is very encouraging ; there are 52i acres of capital Grazing Land, 230 acres of excellent Meadow Land, and 455 acres of soil congenial to Wheat and Oats ; the former yielding five and six quarters and the latter from seven to ten quarters per acre. Now this representation of the Estate cannot be charged with colour ing the Landscape beyond its deserts ; and it may be well to remind such as were last year sceptical in respect to the corn-laws, that the agricultural horizon is no longer clouded by doubt or uncertainty— the manly, judicious, and unequivocal declaration of Sir Robert Peel ought to quiet the apprehensions of all those who desire to see the agriculturing and manufacturing interests go quietly in . harness toge ther, without any undue partiality. Indeed, his declaration is so en couraging, I cannot do better than quote his own words--it will, or ought to silence scepticism : " I IN EITHER HAVE, ..2_ , 1,9R DO I CONTEMPLATE ANY CHANGE WHATEVER IN THE CORN-LA WS." To conclude, Trustees, and all persons having their capital depo. sited in the funds, will do well to ponde.-, and to exercise their understanding, and the result must (or ought to be) that Three per Cents. at 98 is a fearfully high anti unnatural price as com pared with'Land which will now return a clear income of Three and a Half per Cent., with prospective views exceedingly delighttul, when placed in juxtapisition with the Funds.

The RIGHT HONOURABLE the COUNTESS of M ANSFIELEr'S RESIDENCE on RICHMOND-HILL; together with the ex, ceedingly VALUABLE CONTENTS, which are accounted UNIQUE in the several Departments of ART and SCIENCES. 3IR. GEORGE ROBINS has the honour to announce that he is directed by the representatives ofthe late " RIGHT PONOURA BLE THE COUNTESS OF MANSFIELD," to offer to unreserved PUBLIC COMPETITION, In the Mansion, Richmond hill, on MONDAY, the 29th of April, and several succeed ing Days, at Twelve for One o'Clock most punctually, An exceedingly VALUABLE MELANGE OF PROPERTY, so recherché in the several Departments of the Arts and Sciences, that IT WILL NOT BE QUITE SACRILEGE to designate it A VERY HUMBLE RIVAL TO STRAWBERRY HILL. There is so much to commend throughout that it will be difficult to avoid injustice in shortening the representation which custom has awarded to such announcements. It will probably he enough to enlist the attention of the scientific world to state that those who were ENRAPTURED at Strawberry hill may, without drawing largely on their kindly feeling, be DELIGHTED at this renowned receptacle of so many and such varied treasures. THE ANCIENT MANSION ON THE SUMMIT OF RICHMOND HILL (to which the Countess, some ten years since, added the two wings, and encountered an outlay of ten thousand pounds) is, despite of this (in candour it must be proclaimed), in need of a searching repair; this, with the aid of a decorator gifted with a brain farm, will then surpass its original character and it will not be doubted that the splendid scenery in front (which it is fearle sly asserted is not surpassed thrughont the kingdom) will render the expense a matter of little import; in fact, not worth a second thought.—The following is a short analysis of the treat which is in store to all those who know how to appreciate a singular combination of taste and vertu, RICH IN EVERY DEPARTMENT OF THZ ARTS, viz. : SPLENDID BUHL, MARQUETERIE, AND INDIA JAPAN CABINETS, TABLES, CLOCKS, AND CANDELABRAS IN ORMOLU, Antique Bronzes, Ancient Inlaid Nab' Metal, and Ormolu Vases, • BEAUTIFUL SEVRES, DRESDEN, OLD CHELSEA, AND ORIENTAL ORNAMENTAL CHINA.

HARVEY and GEORGE respect fully intimate to Capitalists, Graziers, Trustees, and others, who are seeking advantageous and safe investments, that they have received instructions from Henry King, Esq., to SELL by PUBLIC AUCTION, on THURSDAY, April 11, 1844, at Twelve o'clock, at the Auction Mart London, Upwards of 300 Acres of highly valuable freehold MARSH GRAZING LAND, in Fifteen Lots; comprising the noted LITTLE COTE FARM, with residence, homestall, and 132 A. 3a. 35 P. of grazing land, situate at Littlecote, in the parish of Stewkley, Bucks, within a short distance of the celebrated Creslow estate, in the de lightful neighbourhood of the Vale of Aylesbury, so proverbially famed for its grazing qualities. The whole is freehold, land-tax re deemed, and tithe free. This estate will be sold in One Lot. The other portion of the property consists of Freehold Marsh Land, of highly productive grazing qualities, situate in West and East Ham, and Plaistow-levels, within five miles of Smithfield, in the counties of Essex and Kent, comprising about 160 Acres, which will be sold in Twelve Lots, offering admirable opportunities for investment or occupation, being divided into convenient portions, with the view of securing the competition of graziers, to whom it is highly desirable as accomodation land ; the parcels of land lying in West Ham and Plaistow-levels, are strongly recommended to the special attention of Butchers, and large Horse-keepers, in London, as offering a rare op portunity of securing to themselves one or more portions of land, In a locality which must obviously prove a source of great profit and convenience. The purchasers can have immediate possession ; and they are reminded, without fear of contradiction, that the rich grazing qualities of the land now to be sold offer competition with any other land in the kingdom for the superiority of its grazing qualities. Also a highly valuable Estate situate at Plaistow, Essex, consist ing of five genteel residences, with gardens, out-houses, and pre mises ; six cottages, and about ten acres of rich upland pasture land, as let on lease for the unexpired term of -about _forty-eight years at the yearly rent of 97/. This property contains extensive and valu able building frontages, and the present rental of 971. may be con sidered as a ground rental, the Lessee having covenanted to expend a large sum in building improvements. Near to the above property are about twelve acres of sound pasture land, producing a yearly rental of 471. Some small portions of the above property are copyhold, which will be more fully described In particulars, which will be prepared and circulated twenty-one days preceding the Sale. The Littlecote Estate may be seen by application to Mr. Thomas Sallery on the premises ; and the Marsh Land at West Ham and Plaistow, will be shown by Mr. Richard Goslin, Marshman, near the Abbey Arms, at Plaistow, Essex.

In the summer of 1841, whilst in the country, reporting, the elec tions for the present Parliament, he was attacked b y repeated colds, the weather being unprecedentedly severe and chaadtuigaellay fastened te T n h ed e o r e n s lid, aim,ws t t i i h setting e In s o o a t* g e t,. r o n a s , u a m t e p d t o b n y , attendant on the session of 1842, that, after a long but vain struggle, he was obliged to resign his chief means of support in the summer of that year. In 1843 he was obliged to throw up his minor engage ments, not being able to obtain payment tar his labour. Since his retirement, he has gradually become more feeble. He is now barely able to walk. His savings, always kept down by his duty, as the eldest son of a poor family, are nearly exhausted. He can no longer earn money—he has no wealthy friends ; perhaps a few generous strangers will come forward and help him. His great desire is to raise as much as would enable him to settle in a milder climate; or, failing that, to secure the means of procuring those comforts and medical aid which he may require, during the short remainder of his days, in this country.

High rates of premium have hitherto operated against this kind of Assurance, but as the scale now adopted will be found as low as is consonant with the risk, it is believed that this fact, coupled with other advantaaes, will induce a great increase of insurers.

In case this application should be reported in your paper of to-day, we think it proper that the public should be in formed, through the same medium, that, subsequently, Mr. Evans made a most ample retractation and apology for the offensive terms used (which is in our possession), in conse quence of which Mr. Hutchinson, through us, consented to his discharge. We are, Sir, your obedient servants, AMORY, SEWELL, AND MORRIS. 25, Throgmorton-street, March 12,1844. M'Culloch states that the value of the manure alone, annually put on the soil of this country, is more than all our foreign trade put together. The dinner given to Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P, to show the sympathy of Englishmen with Irishmen, and the admiration entertained in this country for the constant advocate of the rights and privileces of Irishmen for more than forty years, took place at Covent-Garden Theatre last night. The pit of the theatre was boarded over so as to make it on a level with the stage, and five long tables, with two slips occupying the bend of the boxes, making seven tables in all, were spread in that part of the house. There were six cross tables and ten long tables spread on the stage, besides the grand table, at which sat the Chair man, the guest, Mr. O'Connell, and several noble • men and other gentlemen. The stage was fitted-up in the most tasteful manner, with fluted draperies of a pale pink and light blue colour. The Chairman sat in the centre of the stage. At the back of, and imme diately over the chair, suspended from the ceiling, there was a brilliant illumination of' variegated lamps, representing the rose, the thistle, and the .shamrock, underneath which appeared, in front of the raised orchestra, the word " O'Connell," in variegated lamps. On the right of the device was the word " Ireland," and on the left the word "Jus tice," also in variegated lamps. At the back of the chair was the retiring-room, over which was the orchestra, containing thirty vocal and instrumental performers, under the direction of Mr. G. Stansbury. The great salle, formed by the boarded pit and the stage, was illuminated by thirty elegant ormolu chandeliers, in addition to the great chandelier suspended from the centre of the theatre andthe smaller chandeliers suspend ed over each box in the dress circle. The stage was adorned by mirrors at the centre and the sides, which produced a most picturesque and pleasing effect. These arrangements were designed by Mr. J. P. Burnard, and reflect the highest credit on his taste and judg ment ; and they were most judiciously carried into effect by Mr. Sloman, the ingenious mechanist to the theatre. The dinner, which was a cold one , was provided by Mr. Rouse, f the White Conduit Tavern, who is entitled to the greatest praise for the excel lence, the variety, and the profusion of the viands which were provided. The wine, too, was of excel lent quality. The boxes were appropriated exclusively to the use of ladies, who were admitted by tickets. To the galleries both ladies and gentlemen were ad mitted as spectators. For many days past tickets, both for the boxes and the dinner, have been at a premium.
