A MOST IMPORTANT PROPERTY for those of MO DERATE MEANS, and who would EMIGRATE SUC CESSFULLY, HOLDING FORTH TEMPTATIONS of the most ENCOURAGING KIND, as the LANDS ARE FERTILE BEYOND OPMPARISON, and :-.TJP PORTED by NATURAL AIIXILIARIES NEL\ .;,LY INFINITE. AXR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to OFFER to 1.1 it. PUBLIC COMPETITION and peremptorily, at the Auction Mart, London, on TUESDAY, July 241 at Twelve o'clock, in Lots. /' The FREEHOLD LANDS included in is important SALE, extending to FIFTY THOUSAND ACR , will be divided in Lots, from TWO HUNDRED TO TWO THO SAND ACRES IN EACH; situated on the main left hand fork, 'of the Big Sandy River, which is a branch of the MIGHTY WATERS OF THE GREAT OHIO, in the Commonwealth of Virginia, intersected in every di rection by INNUMERABLE CANALS, which empty their tributary waters upon the confluence of the BIG SANDY AND OHIO RIVERS; directly in the neighbourhood ail RISING TOWNS, GOOD MARKETS, NAVIGABLE RIVERS, AND NATIONAL TURNPIKE ROADS, There is a direct communication by steam to NEW YORK, ORLEANS, PITTSBURGH, RICH MOND, BALTIMORE, AND WASHINGTON. THE VAST RAILROAD'S, HAVE COMMENCED under the sanction of Government, who have contributed FIFTEEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS towards their completion. They are now fast approaching maturity, and run through a large portion of this elegible property. - - - The lands are in.Cabell and Kanawha counties. They are fertile almost beyond belief, the soil adapted to the pro duction of every thing that is useful and necessary for city consumption—viz., Barley, Wheat, (averaging 30 bushels per acre), Rye, Oats, Cotton, Potatoes, Maize (averaging 60 to 100 bushels per acre), Turnips, Hay (crops two tons per acre), Hemp, Tobacco, Fruit, and Vegetables, in the greatest pro fusion and perfection. They are alsoculiarly adapted for RAISING OF CATTLE of all kinds, and three years absolutely DOUBLE TRIER NUMBER. Industry and a little capital, therefore, are alone wanting to render this one of the FAIREST AGRICULTURAL PORTIONS OF THE GLOBE, in a climate, it must be remembered, remarkable for its salubrity and invigorating Powers, and the Country, in point of Health, unsurpassed ; besides which, it may be called THE LAND OF PROMISE, from its extraordinary and inexhaustible discoveries and na tural productions. FOR THIS CHARMING COUNTRY is not only rich in beautiful and picturesque scenery, but abounds in objects interesting to the Naturalist and Anti quarian, inasmuch as the mineral and fossil wealth is no where to be equalled, and iron, stone, coal, lead, limestone, &c., are found in every part in the greatest abundance ; and, what is now of first-rate importance to the emigrant, in point of profit or revenue, most valuable and continuous Salt Springs are to be found on every Acre of the Estate. From the minerals on this property a fruitful source of commercial enterprise may be contemplated. It should be observed that religious worship is unshackled, and there is A TOTAL ABSENCE OF TAXES, ALSO VAST TRACTS OF VALUABLE TIMBER, consisting of enormous oak, maple, poplar, and other trees, which add in a large degree to the already large profit, being n great demand for ship-building, steam-boats, and exporta tion. It may, therefore, be stated, in great confidence, that this sale will secure to those of VERY LIMITED MEANS WEALTH WITHOUT RISK ; . . possessing only the essential requfsites of industry and talent. A farmer having saved even from £2OO to £3OO from the wreck of his fortune will find at this sale an opportunity to realise all his bright and early anticipation. It is not a specu lation founded on theory, experience has demonstrated that it is a moral certainty, and, consequently, a mechanic pos sessing £2OO or upwards, may confidently appear at this auspicious sale. One single fact will convince the sceptic that the United States are sought as a resting place of nearly all emigrants : during one month no fewer than SIXTEEN THOUSAND PASSENGERS arrived, at New York, and the ratio drawn from the abo v e i s that should emigration thus proceed, New York in half a year will possess half a million more foreigners. Particulars may be had at the Waterloo, Liverpool; the Manchester Times Office, at Manchester; the Hen and Chickens, at Birmingh/im the Auction IVlrt ; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent-garden. The title is clear beyond the possibility of doubt, being the original grants from the Virginian Government in the year 1795. 'tam gabigatian. FROM LONDON FOR ST.

The Property, as a whole, forms one of the most complete and respectable Establishments for its extent in the neigh bourhood of Liverpool, presenting many advantages as a residence, being retired, most delightfully situated, and only distant about one mile from the centre of Liverpool; while its value, with a view either to Residence or Investment, has lately been greatly enhanced by the suppression of the Alkali Works at the north end of the town. A considerable portion of the Land is adapted for Building purposes, without injury to the other part of the Property. The Tenure of the above is Freehold of Inheritance, with the exception of a small Plot of Ground fronting Portland place, which is Copyhold of Inheritance ; and the Land com prises an area of 26,358/ square yards, or thereabouts, ex tending from Netherfield-road North, westward to Portland place and Rosevale. 2. A very valuable PROPERTY, Freehold of Inheritance, situate in Sweeting-street, near the top of Dale-street, Liver pool, consisting of two Warehouses, Counting-houses, Dwelling-house, Workshop, enclosed Yard and Premises, known as Cotton -court, for many years in the occupation of Messieurs Dobson and Gill, but at present untenanted, and comprising an area of 990 7-9th!square yards, or thereabouts. • The proximity of the above Property to the Exchange renders it a most desirable Establishment for a Merchant or Broker. It is entirely enclosed, having approaches from Castle-street and Dale-street, the latter of which has lately been widened and otherwise improved by the erection of the Royal Bank and other Buildings belonging to the Proprietors of that Establishment. Printed particulars with Plans may be had (gratis) at the Registrar's Office, in Preston ; or at the offices of Messrs. LACES, CLAY, and MYERS ; Messrs.

AITILLIAM WILLIAMS, PROPRIETOR, respectfully V V calls the attention of the Inhabitantrf Liverpool and its vicinity to the above Concern, which e has just opened with a well-assorted STOCK of GOODS in the HOUSE FURNISHING and GENERAL IRONMONGERY DE PARTMENT. W. W. particularly invites those persons who may be Furnishing to an EARLY INSPECTION. He presumes from his long experience in the Trade, and having purchased his Stock for Cash, that he will be able to give universal satisfaction with respect to price and quality. CAPTAIN PIDDING'S HOWQUA'S MIXTURE, o f 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER, in Chinese Catty Packages. The Sole Proprietor of the above celebrated Teas is Captain JOHN RHODES PIDDING. Every genuine Packagebears his Signa ture. All others are spurious. The unwholesome trash pirated under similar titles renders this precaution necessary. PIRACY ! CAUTIOY ! ! Captain Pidding made eight voyages to China ; in securing the exclusive importation of these Teas, and if purchasers will notice his•signature, they will avoid counterfeits. In an action brought by Captain Pidding, against a person who counterfeited his packages, it was proved, before the Vice-Chancellor, on the affidavit of Mr. Styan, a broker of 27 years' experience, employed to test these Teas, "That Captain Pidding's HOWQIIA'S MIXTURE' is a Tea of a peculiar flavour, and composed of many varieties of black teas, all of the finest quality ; that it has a character peculiar to itself—A FINE NATURAL AROMA. And "That HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER' is Gun powder Tea of the very finest quality, and that such Tea could not be bought in the market." f t r" Sworn at the Public Office, Chancery-lane, " W. —3B— * this Bth day of May, 1837, before me, " Filed Bth of May, 1837." " N. W. SENIOR." It was also proved on oath, that Captain Pidding's Teas were supplied for the Royal use. Dr. Johnson, late Physician to Geo. IV., considers this the best of Teas, and uses no other. As Author of " The Economy of Health," &c., his testimony is invaluable, he writes thus : " Suffolk-place, London, Nov. 22, 1837. " SIR,— Ever since your Howqua's Mixture' Tea was first introduced, myself and family have used it, indeed only it, and we have no hesitation in giving it the preference to all others. " Yours, &c., "To Capt. Pidding." " JAMES JOHNSON, M.D." Dr. Sigmond, M.D., F.L.S., in a lecture on tea, lately delivered before the Medico-Botanical Society, stated, " That since the opening of the trade, new varieties of Tea had been brought to England, and, in particular, a Tea under the name of the richest and the most esteemed of the Hong Merchants, which had been very much and very deservedly prized, and Captain Pidding's Howqua's Mixture' has now become " ' THE STANDARD TEA IN THIS COUNTRY.' u It is impossible to furnish more conclusive proof of its su periority. The term " standard" comprehends every good quality. These Teas con s i s t o f C apta i n Pi dding ' A " HOWQUA'S MIXTURE" (Black Tea) at Gs. per lb., is Bs. the Catty Pack age.

A CLEVER SWINDLE.—On Monday, George William, otherwise, George Webb Bakewell, a respectably attired middle-aged man, was placed at the bar of the Police.office, to answer the charge of obtaining money under false pre tences. On the 15th of February last the prisoner went to the Bridge Inn, Latchford. He first inquired for Mr. Greaves, the landlord, and on being told that he was from home, asked to see Mrs. Greaves, who went to him. He said that he and Mr. Ogden, the steward at Booth, would stop and dine at the house, and that Mr. Ogden had gone up the street and would meet him there in an hour. After or dering some brandy and taking it, he said to Mrs. Greaves— " I think you don't know me." She said she did not ; and he replied—" That is very strange. I was a neighbour of yours when you lived at High Legh ;" (Mr. Greaves for merly kept the Bear's Paw there,) and in the same trade. You were once at my house." Mrs. Greaves, somewhat astonished at her lack of memory, said—" Indeed ! Is your name Mr. Burgess ; and do you come from th e Whit e H orse, in Rawstorne ?'' He said—" Yes, it is ;" and then com menced a conversation about several respectable people known to Mrs. Greaves, who lived in the vicinity of Raw storne. He drank up his brandy, and next inquired whether he could be accommodated with change for a sovereign ? Mrs. Greaves handed it to him. He put it into his pocket, and observed—" I will give you the sovereign when I return, as," have no cash at present, but a bill which I shall get et/hiked up the town." He also said he had the interest of some money to receive. Mrs. Greaves believed his tale and sss nun 6,, Lt 4., tit.,,mc. SIC a...v.., last found in the New Bailey, at Manchester, after being tried for an assault upon a girl twelve years of age, and sen tenced to two months' imprisonment, which expired on Sa turday. On being informed by Briscall, the officer who went to receive him at the New Bailey, of the charge against him, he said it was not true. He denied ever having been at the Bridge Inn, but said he was at the Black Bear on the day in question. The prisoner cross-examined Mrs. Greaves at some length. He first questioned her as to whether she was the wife of Mr. Greaves, and being answered in the affir mative, proceeded to other questions of an equally frivolous nature. One fact he elicited, viz.—that it was ten minutes to two by Mrs. G.'s clock when he ordereddinner to be ready in an hour. The prisoner then commenced a long address to the magistrates. He begun by calling upon them to dismiss from their minds anything they might have heard to his pre judice relative to his recent imprisonment in the New Bailey. The charge against him there was not for stealing anything, and the result did not warrant any imputation being cast upon, his honesty. He had been charged with an assault with in tent to commit a capital offence upon a young girl, and after cross-examining the prosecutrix, he addressed the court and jury in a speech which occupied two hours in delivery. It made the deepest impression on the court, and the chairman summed up decidedly in his favour, and the jury, to the great satisfaction of a crowded court, found him ' not guilty.' He was afterwards convicted of a common assault, and sen tenced to two months' hard labour, but that part of the sen tence was remitted. He had no reason to believe otherwise than that some person extremely like him had been at Mr. Greaves's house on the day named ; but he should be in a situation to prove a distinct alibi, if time was given him to produce his witnesses. He was certainly at Latchford on the day named. He was an assistant to his brothers, exten sive bone merchants at Manchester, who carried on an im mense trade in Lancashire and Cheshire. On the evening previous to the day on which the alleged offence was com mitted, he came over to Warrington in a car from Newton, and was set down at the post-office. He inquired there for a letter which he expected to find waiting his arrival, but none being there, he went and slept for the night at a house oppo site Mrs. Jones's, the butcher's. Next morning no letter came, and he then walked to the Black Bear, at Latchford, and borrowed a shilling from the landlord, who had known him for several years. He then walked towards High Legh, and stopped at twelve o'clock at a small village on the way (supposed to be Lymn) which had a chapel and old church yard. He stopped along with some farmers he kneiv, from twelve o'clock until five o'clock, and having spent his shil ling, one of the farmers lent him half-a-crown, with which he went to High Legh and slept there all night. In con clusion he quoted a passage in a charge delivered by Lord Lyndhurst to the grand jury at Lancaster, in which his lord ship recommended justices to give prisoners an opportunity of calling witnesses to prove their innocence. He finally begged to be remanded until Wednesday, when the witnesses could be brought forward. On being questioned on this point, de declared he did not know any of their names, nor could he say where they were to be found. Mr. Greases was positive both as to the identity of the prisoner and the time at which he was at her house, and the magistrates at once committed the accused for trial at the sessions, who, prior to his removal, in the most emphatic way said, " If ever 1 saw the woman," pointing to Mrs. Greaves, " may the Al mighty strike me blind and dumb, and punish me for ages." He is the author of a very clever work, explanatory of the " law of landlord and tenant," and has evidently had the ad vantage of a good educatiou and respectable connexions, Muslims STORM.—On Monday evening between six and seven o'clock, Warrington and the neighbourhood were vis ited by one of the most awful thunder storms, accompanied by heavy rain, that has occurred for many years past. The storm extended from Northwich and Runcorn to Parkside, and the neighbourhood of Wigan. in Some newly erect e d cot tages, the property of Mr. Ward, Mount-street, Warring ton, were considerably damaged. The electric fluid caught the chimneys of 2 of the houses, penetrated the ceili ngs knock ed out the glass, splintered the window and door-frames, and knocked the plaster from the walls in se vera l p l aces. Miss Ellen Hilsby, a milliner, residing in Coronation Build ings, Back-street, while in the act of shutting the bed-room window, was slightly struck by the lightning, and for a time became insensible. Her face and on e o f h er l egs were much injured ; but she is now, we are informed, doing well. The lightning first struck the spout at the end of the buildings then descended the chimneys of the houses No. 2, and No. 4, injured the window-frames and broke the stone chimneypiece in the back parlour of No. 4. At Belmont, the seat of James Heath Legh, Esq. near Northwich, two fine trees received considerable damage, and the splinters of one of them, an oak, was driven several feet distant from the tree. The chimney of Mr. Lingard's house, at Runcorn, was also struck by the lightning, which entered the roof, and set fire to a bed in the room. The fire was got under without much damage. SIN GULAR AND NOVEL MATCH.—On Friday last, the following sin gu l ar ma t c h was ma d e b e t ween John Hughes and John Fordham, and was decided near Hertford between five and six o'clock in the evening. _Hughes offered to walk a mile backwards and a similar distance forward against Ford ham's horse, and the ground selected was the Ware and Hert ford road. It having been decided that they should walk backwards in the first instance, Hughes commenced his work with great spirit, but fell down from exhaustion when half the distance. In the meantime, Fordham ineffectually at tempted to back his horse, but the animal entertaining an objection to such a mode of treatment,. refused t o st i r, an d the owner was compelled to peld.—Herfford County Press. FLEETWOOD ON WIRE. The works going on in this harbour are now assuming a business-lik e appearance. Mr. Tompkinsoi?, of Liverpool, who has taken the contract for the completion of the embankment from Burn Naze to the terminus at Fleetwood, has already upwards of one hundred men at work, besides a great many at the quarry. His steamer which strived on Thursday is intended to tow the barges from the quarry, several of which are already at work, so that from 3 to 4000 tons may be expected monthly; this, with the co-operation of Captain Denham, R. N., marine surveyor to the Wyre, who has also a steamer, several barges, and pontoons at work, in removing and cutting away part of the Knot and Canch Bank, leave no doubt that the directors are now determined to have the whole of the undertaking completed early in the spring of next year. The improve ments to be carried out by Captain Denham in the harbour alone, including three light-houses, will cost upwards of £20,000. - --. .75. “piny to C. W. and F.
