THE ISLANDS OF THE ,EGEAN SEA.

In superintending this magnificent Panorama, how awfully
grand cloth Nature's works appear, inclining the imagination first
to believe, and at length the senses to concur in the realization of all
those classical associations, which cannot fail to interest and encou.
rage the enterprize, and lead to researches which the march of in-
tellect has recently more than ever provoked. Oh, that the pen
of the great Bard could at this moment lend its influential aid, and
direct the one that now falters in the vain attempt to'give a moderate
portraiture of the Landscape! but this is hopeless. A short sum.
mary of a few of the minor points for consideration must suffice with
those who, while they would enjoy the Antiquities of Athens, are
not insensible to the large income that is available by this pur.
chase. It has already been noticed that the Demesne around the
City numbers

THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY ACRES,
the greater part under cultivation, in Corn, Cotton, and Maiae,
beside

LARGE PLANTATIONS OF OLIVE TREES :
THE VINEYARDS AND EXTENSIVE GARDENS
are about twenty acres, walled round and planted on the celebrated
site known as

"THE ACADEMUS OF PLATO,"
and to which the river Cephisus becomes the Ir. igating stream, as
well as to the smaller vineyard, which is allied to the abode.
Within the garden walls of Six Acres, are
PLANTATIONS OF ORANGE AND LEMON TREES,
and it must not be oierlooked, as a special gift belonging to its
produce, that

HIS MAJESTY, THE KING OF GREECE,
and his Queen—always on important occasions, when a splendid
fete is given at the Palace, prefer to have the fruit from
MR. BELL'S CELEBRATED GARDENS.

Numerous Plantations of Mulberry Trees crown and vary the
picture, and
ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY BUTTS OF RED AND
WHITE WINE
is the fair annual produce. There is beside
CORN, WINE, AND OIL IN ABUNDANCE.

It is to be hoped, and indeed is believed, that enough has been
said to enlist the attention of those who ara sensitive to the delight,
and consequently know how to appreciate
THE ARTS AND SCIENCES.

It profit be also in their "mind's eye," they will find it at
Athens to their heart's content. But there is still another class
who may, and ought to be seduced to give a serious thought
to this sale—alluding especially to those who dislike not lon.
gevity—throughout the world it would be in vain to look
for a more congenial climate. NINETY-FOUR is not accounted
OLD, and Doctors and Physic are very little in request. To
those whom ambition leads to soar above their fellowmen, the
proximity to

THE COURT OF ,
and the gratification (leaving self-interest for aATHENS moment out of con.
sideration) derivable from frequent intercourse with
" THE HIGH AND MIGHTY IN POWER,"
and the continuous intimacy with the
" MOST REFINED OF EUROPEAN SOCIETY,"
under the paramount protection of England and France, com-
pletes a picture of which the possessor may well be envious. A plan
of the Estate and a view of the Villa, is in preparation, and may be
had 21 days anterior to the Sale, at. the Jerusalem, and Lloyd's
Coffee Houses, Cornhill; the Mart; and at Mr. Robins's Offices,
London.

P.S Building is proceeding as rapidly as in England ; Foreign-
ers may possess Freeholds on the same terms as the Greeks;
there is an English Church, and the Protestant religion is respected.

Mlt, GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to
. OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION and peremptorily,
at the Auction Mart, London, on TUESDAY, July 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-
TIMORE, 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 elegible property.
The lands are in Cal ell 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, oat., Cotton, Pota.
toes, Maize (averaging 60 to 100 bushels per acre), Turnips, Hay
(crops twe tons per acre',,, Hemp, Tobacco, Fruit, and Vegetables,
in the greatest profusion and perfection. They are also peculiarly
adapted for

RAISING OF CATTLE

is not only rich in beautiful and picturesque scullery, loitt abounds
in objects interesting to the Naturalist and Antiquarian, inasmuch as
the mineral and fossil wealth is nowhere to be equalled, and iron,
stone, coal, lead. limestone, &c., are found in every part in the
greatest abundance; slid, what is now of first-rate importance to
the emigrant, in point of profit or revenue, most valuable and con.
tinuous Salt Springs are to be found on every Acre of the Estate.
From the minerals on this property a fruitful source of commercial
enterprise maybe 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 in great
demand for ship-building, steamboats, and exportation.
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 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, come
