COURAGING KIND, as the LANDS ARE FERTILE -BE-
YOND COMPARISON, and SUPPORTED by NATURAL
AUXILIARIES NEARLY INFINITE.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to
OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION and Peremptorily,
at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, July 18, at Twelve
o'clock, in Lots.

The - FREEHOLD LANDS included in this important SALE,
extending to

FIFTY THOUSAND ACRES;
will be divided in Lots, from
TWO HUNDRED TO TWO THOUSAND 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 direction by

INNUMERABLE CANALS,
which empty their tributary waters upon the confluence of the

BIG SANDY AND OHIO RIVERS;
directly in the neighbourhood are
RISING TOWNS, GOOD MARKETS, NAVIGABLE RIVERS,

AND NATIONAL TURNPIKE ROADS.

There is a direct communication by steam to
NEW YORK, ORLEANS, PITSBURG, RICHMOND, BAL.
TIMOItE, AND WASHINGTON.
THE VAST RAILROADS 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 elegiblc property.

The lands are in Cabell and Kanawha counties. They are fertile
almost beyond belief, the soil adapted to the production of every.
thing that is useful and necessary for city consumption—viz., Barley,
Wheat (averaging 30 bushels per acre), Rye, Oats, Cotton, Potts.
toes, Maize (averaging 60 to 100 bushels per acre), Turnips, Hay
(crops two tons per acre), Hemp, Tobacco, Fruit, and Vegetables,
in the greatest profusion and perfection. They are also peculiarly
adapted for

RAISING OF CATTLE

of all kinds, and three years absolutely
DOUBLE THEIR 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 invigmating Powers, and the Country, in point of Health,
unsurpassed ; besides which, it may be called
THE LAND OF PROMISE,
from itr extraordinary and inexhaustible discoveries and natural
productions.
FOR THIS CHARMING COUNTRY,
is not only rich in beautiful and picturesque scenery, but abounds
in objects interesting to the Naturalist and Antiquarian, inasmuch as
the mineral and fossil wealth is nowhere to be equalled, and iron,
n
eoaLlead. limestone, &c., ate found in every part in the
greatest abundance; and, what is now of first.rate importance to
the onu m
igrant, in point of profit or revenue, most valuable and con_

enterprise maybe contemplated. It should be observed that religious
worship is

therefore, be stated, in great confidence, that this sale
will secure to those of
VERY LIMITED MEANS WEALTH WITHOUT RISK;
It may,
possessing
only the essential requisites of industry and talent. A
farmer having saved even from 200/. to 300/. 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 speculation founded on theory,
experience has demonstrated that it is a moral certainty, and, misc.
quently, a mechanic possessing 2001. or upwards, may confidently
appear at this auspicious sale.
One single fact will convince the sceptic that the United States are
eating place of nearly all
sought as the r emigrants : during one
month no fewer then
SIXTEEN THOUSAND PASSENGERS
arrived at New York, and the ratio drawn from the above is that
should emigration thus proceed, New York in half a year wilt pen.
sess half a million more foreigners.
Particulars may be had at the Waterloo, Liverpool ; the Man.
ehester Times Office, at Manchester ; the Hen and Chickens, at
Birmingham; the Auction Mart; and at 31r. George Robins's Of
Covent.garden.
The title is clear beyond the possibility of doubt, being the origi-
anl grants from the Virginian Government in the year 1795.
