IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA,

. ,
A MOST IMPORTANT PROPERTY for those of MODERATE
MEANS, and who would EMIGRATE SUCCESSFULLY,
HOLDING FORTH TEMPTATIONS of the most EN.
COURAGING KIND, as the LANDS ARE FERTILE BE-
YOND COMPARISON, and SUPPORTED by NATURAL
AUXILIARIES NEARLY INFINITE.

Afiris R. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to
_LVIL. OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION and peremptorily,
at the Auction Mart, London, on TUESDAY, July 22, 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 en 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;

dent, both in distance and ,splendour, that a rival need not to be
apprehended throughout the Queen's dominions; it overlooks the
most magniGcent Scenery of Scotland, and is altogether commensu-
rate to the legitimate claims of
SCOTCH AND ENGLISH HOSPITALITY.
A NOBLEMAN OF RANK,

will be quite at his ease ; although one of less pretensions, and who
desires only to locate at Tullichewen for a limited season, will find
the great desideratum of its not being inconveniently large. The
recreation of

SHOOTING, AND FISHING,
are auxiliaries, to an extent that few can parallel.

THE DEMESNE EXTENDS TO

FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX IMPERIAL ACRES;
the cultivated land is underlet at about 600/. a-year, independently
of the woods, which are in high condition. The mansion is suitably
furnished ; the aid of Gillow and Dowhiggin, the celebrated artistes
in decorative furniture, has been called in to complete it; and
the appendages, in Pictures and articles of taste and vertu, give to
it a decided superiority over all its neighbouring rivals. The offi-
ces are equal to the most sanguine expectation. The moors
do not merely find excellent pasturage for the cattle, but ample
scope for those who would recreate in shooting black and red grouse,
woodcocks, and all sorts of game; and if it be in " the mind's eye"
of a purchaser to add to the delight of shooting to a still greater
extent, `.! SEVEN THOUSAND ACRES OF MOORS are to
be purchased close by.
LOCH LOMOND,

THE "NE PLUS ULTRA" OF SCOTLAND'S FAMED

LAKES,

ithin a short mile of the Castle and demesne, will delight the
amateurs in wild fowl shooting ; and those inclined to salmon and
trout fishing will find it to their hearts' content in the River Leven.
Such is an imperfect outline of a few of the prominent attributes
to which this famed property puts in an irresistible claim. The
difficult task, however, is still in abeyance—to pourtray in suitable
language
THE SURPASSING BEAUTY OF THE SPLENDID
SCENERY, EMBRACING THE LOVELY LOCH AND
LOFTY BEN LOMOND,

(the greatest features amid Scotland's never.ending splendour and
variety), is an undertaking to which the humble individual intrusted
with the conduct of this sale feels most acutely how inadequate he
is to the duty that has been imposed upon him ; his chief relief, nay,
" his main stay" (if he may be permitted the observation), arises out
of a reminiscence that

found himself in the same dilemma. All those who have not par-
taken of the good fortune to sojourn amid the beauteous scenery
before alluded to, or to behold Loch Lomond sleeping in the arms
of her hundred hills by

and reverence to the great Master and Creator of all things pet-

earnestness, to search for what the greatest novelist of bygone days
has said of

SHEEN HOUSE MANSION, at MORTLAKE.

A SPLENDID ABODE with SUITABLE PLEASURE
GROUNDS, and PARK MEADOWS.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS is honoured by
the Directions of the Noble Marquis, TO SELL BY
PUBLIC AUCTION, at the MART, on THURSDAY, the 18th of
JULY, at 12 o'Clock,

A DISTINGUISHED FREEHOLD MANSION, familiar in
the higher circles as

SHEEN HOUSE, AT MORTLAKE,
he Property and late residence of
THE MARQUIS OF AMESBURY.

It is altogether so perfect, its family accommodation so complete,
that it can have no fear of rivalry anywhere. The Residence is
placed on a lawn of considerable beauty and extent, adorned by
spacious conservatories of elegant design, and formed upon the best
principle. Around this envied abode are the luxuriant Shrubberies
and Plantation walks, which form a
CIRCLE ROUND THE LITTLE PARK,
_ _

where the majestic timber of ancient growth, gives to it a prepon-
derating influence which It would be in vain to look for elsewhere.
THE GARDENS ARE EXTENSIVE, AND PROLIFIC
beyond measure.
THE HOT AND SUCCESSION HOUSES, 210 FEET LONG,
render any auxiliary aid from Covent Garden quite superfluous.
The Grounds are so admirably disposed that
REPTON WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD
to claim them as his offspring ; indeed he might have gathered a
wrinkle or two without difficulty. The ornamental:water, and the
timber materially aid
THIS LITTLE SCENE OF ENCHANTMENT.

The offices within and without the mansion are fully com-

THE WOODSPEEN MANOR FARM AND ESTATE.
200 ACRES, NEAR TO NEWBURY, BERKS.
By MR. GEORGE ROBINS,

At the Checquers Inn, Speenhainland, on TiIIiRSDAT, July 11, at

Twelve for One, in Lots,

A FREEHOLD ESTATE, very pleasantly
situate; it is called

WOODSPEEN MANOR FARM,

a little removed from the Bath road, and within a mile of
BENHAM PARK, THE EARL OF CRAVEN'S SEAT,
and only two miles from Newbury, one of the best markets in Eng..
land, ,sind about midway between London and Bath. The farm
abode is quite adapted to every good purpose, and includes some-
what more than usual comfort and accommodation, inasmuch as
there are three sittings rooms, eight bed-chambers, and all useful
offices within and without ; those for agricultural purposes all that
can be required.

THE FARM IS UNUSUALLY COMPACT-ONE HUNDRED
AND TWENTY.ONE ACRES,

within a ring fence; and the ornamental timber gives it a park-
like appearance. There are besides some valuable peat meadows
adjoining Benham Park, and forty-eight acres of pasture land.
The situation of the latter is perfectly irresistible, with a view to

Though I have not received any requisition to resign,
and no such step might in any case be taken, yet I could
not but be conscious that this forbearance ought, per-
haps, to be attributed to some delicacy of feeling in my
former supporters, or to their conviction that a proceed-
ing of this kind would be opposed to the acknowledged
general principles of their party ; and, at all events,
could not be regarded as any test of the absence of dis-
satisfaction on their part with my Parliamentaryconduct.
Highly, therefore, as I prize the honour of a seat in
the House of Commons, and deeply interested as I feel
in the faithful discharge of public duties, it does, never-
theless, appear to me that the time is now come when I
shall act most in conformity with the spirit of those high
moral obligations which are paramount to all other ties,
either in private or public life, by making a voluntary
surrender of the trust committed to my charge.
I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient humble servant,

SPORTING REVIEW.

Craven continues to take a prominent place, and his
July Review forms a valuable addition to the several
subjects which he discusses with so much ability and
good taste. All the pictorial embellishments, as usual,
are first rate. We have at the outset the winners of
the Derby and of the Oaks, both of which engravings,
besides their high merit as works of art, possess the
rather rare advantage of being good likenesses. Amongst
such an abundance of good articles as are provided in
the present Number, it were difficult if not invidious to
select ony one from the assemblage. We shall there-
fore, whilst limiting ourselves to the expressson of a
very high opinion of this Review, merely add that the
Editor's remarks on the present crisis of English racing,
brought about by well known events in the sporting
world, are just and sensible. The present turf system
is rotten to the core ; it requires a thorough revision ; and
if the Jockey Club would uphold racing, they must set
about the business of reform in a spirit of uncompro-
mising hostility to the pernicious innovations that have
recently sprung up.

brated lines.

We have here a creditlble engraving of Bloomsbury,
the winner of the last Derby, in his stable, unmounted.
The details of this picture are skilfully handled. The
engraving is followed by another, equally good, of the
winner of the Oaks, Deception. Amongst the literary
contributions we may notice Nimrod's " Chantilly
Races," which cannot fail to be read and relished.

THOMAS'S LIFE OF NAPOLEON. Part 111.
HORNE'S HISTORY OF NAPOLEON.
Part V.

We class these two Lives together, for they both
treat, with great perspicuity of details, on the same sub-
ject—are both impartially written—and both lavishly
embellished with plates from the well known designs of
Horace Vernet and other eminent French artists. The
Life of Napoleon, however, that is to reach posterity,
has yet to be written. Scott was too negligent, and oc-
casionally, though not so often as is generally supposed,
too prejudiced ; Hazlitt, too uniformly and enthusiasti-
cally panegyrical. A judicious mean between both is
what we now want ; but what we cannot yet expect to
have, because we live too near the period of the great
Emperor's glory. Meanwhile, the two Lives before us
will answer a temporary purpose well enough.

BOW- STREET.

IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—A man named John Marchant,
was charged with the following impudent robbery-:—lt
appeared that while Mr. Inman, a shoemaker, in Holborn,
was opening his shop on Friday morning, the prisoner
slipped in unperceived ar.d helped himself to six pair of
boots, which he put in a bag. Mrs. Inman asked who he
was, and he said he had just bought the boots of her hus-
band, who was at the door, and paid for them. She
called to her husband to know if that was the fact, upon
which the prisoner bolted out of the shop, but was fol-
lowed and taken into custody.
Committed for trial.

THE STORM.—We continue to receive from
all parts of the kingdom accounts descriptive of the devae•
tation occasioned by the recent storm. Its effects appear
to have been severely felt in Scotland. The rain appears
to have fallen with unprecedented rapidity, and to have
inundated several places.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected ; and after hearing
Sergeant WILDE and Sir F. POLLOCK at some length in
support of the answer,
The Learned JUDGE allowed the objection.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, for the defendant, submitted
that there was no evidence that the act, if unlawful, had
been done by authority of the Governor, and that the
action should have been brought against Lieut.-. Colonel

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JULY 3.
The Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn-hall to-day.
ANOELL V. DAVIS.
The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to.day in this
case, which was argued in the course of the last week.
The case came before his Lordship upon appeal from the
decision of his Honour the Vice- Chancellor, refusing to
give the plaintiff the costs of the suit. The short facts
of the case appear to be as follows : —The plaintiff, who
was one of the ti ustees under a deed of the property of
an infant, filed the bill against the defendant, a co-trustee,
for the purpose of compelling him to account for the sum
of 1501. belonging to the infant, which ho had advanced to
a person of the name of Amor, as the plantiff alleged upon
an insufficient security. Upon the case coming on
before his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, he directed a
reference to the Master, to enquire into the security; the
Master reported as to its insufficiency, and upon that re-
port his Honour directed the defendant to replace the fund,
but declined to make any order with respect to the costs.
From the latter part of that decision the present appeal was
brought. His Lordship, in giving judgment, went at some
length into the facts of the case, and stated his opinion to
be, althouugh he was greatly disinclined to encourage ap-
peals for costs, yet such were tl circumstances of the
present case that he felt bound totaw the appeal.
Appeal for costs allowed.

PICKERING V. PICKERING.
The further arguments on this part.heard appeal from
the decision of the Master of the Rolls, were then resumed,
and occupied the Court the remainder of the day.

VICE-CHANCELLORS COURT, JULY 3.
Exceptions and further directions, of no public interest
occupied his Honour the Vice-Chancellor the whole day.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 3.
GLYNN V. HOLSTOUN.
This was an action for false imprisonment and trespass,
brought by Mr. Charles Glynn, a merchant at Gibraltar,
against General Houstoun, who was Governor there
in 1831.

Mr. Sergeant WILDE and Sir F. PoLLocx were for the
plaintiff, with Mr. HUGGINS; Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL
and a junior were for the defendant.
From the depositions put in evidence, and on which
rested the whole case, it appeared that on the 3d of
November, 1831, a party of British soldiers surrounded
the plaintif's house, stopping every outlet, and preventing
him from coming out, though he attempted so to do.
They were in search, it was stited, of a Spanish refugee,
named General Torrijos ; the Governor having published
an ordinance prohibiting any foreigners from remain-
ing in the garrison, unless with special license, and having,
he said, received information on the morning of the
day in question, that General Torrijos had gone to the
house ; this, however, was positively denied by other wit-
nesses. To one of the answers—that the soldiers, who
were immediately commanded by Lieut. - Col. Maire, had
represented themselves as acting under the Governor's
orders,

of this periodical are " the Manners and Customs of the
Japanese ;" " Persia," being a Review of Papers recently

PICTORIAL SHAKSPERE. PART IX.
ILL U STRATED SHAKSPERE. PART 111.
The present Part of the Pictorial Shakspere, which
is the completest edition of the works of our great
dramatist that has yet made its appearance, contains
the entire comedy of the Merry Wives of Windsor,
judiciously annotated, embellished with numerous clever
plates, and with a frontispiece representing the fat
knight pinched, and thwacked, and kicked, and scratched
y the supposed fairies under Hearne's oak, in Windsor

PArk. The Illustrated Shakspere (Part III.) con-
tains also a portion of the Merry Wives, the introduc•
tory remarks on which, by the Editor, are neatly written.
Of the embellishments, which are designed by Meadows,
the best is that of Bardolph, to whose immortal snout
every possible justice is done. The portrait of Falstaff
is, however, a decided failure. He is merely a mountain
of inanimate flesh, without humour or expression of
any kind.

THE CHURCH MAGAZINE. No. VII.

We find little or nothing worthy of notice in this
periodical. Like all others of its class, it is disfigured
by one-sided views of religion, and want of charity for
those who do not belong to the Established sect. This
Number contains a smart attack upon the Record
newspaper—the slop-pail of the ultra-Evangelical party
in the Church—from whom it quotes the following
ludicrous advertisement, as a specimen of the mis-
chievous cant which it is the means of circulating
through the country :—" Wanted immediately, in a
religious family, a pious nurse, with full breasts, and of
Evangelical sentiments." The Number is embellished
with a portrait of the Rev. Hugh M'Neile, the popular
preacher of St. Jude's, Liverpool.

THE EPISCOPAL MAGAZINE. No. VII.
'This is another publication of the same kind, but
more inclining to high Church sentiments. Mr. Shut-
ticworth is severely handled for the late onslaught made
on him upon " Tradition," for which the writer of the
remarks alluded to very naturally stands up, as he sees
that without this prop the very foundation of his Church
would give way. Neither of these periodicals gives
us a very high idea of the talent engaged in them.

RALD..__What will the Bank do (has been- the
general inquiry throughout the day in almost every de.
partment of commerce) to check the tide of continental
exchanges against this country ? That question is difficult
to answer; but many well-informed parties maintain that
they must raise the rate of interest to-morrow; whilst
others add that unless they make large purchases of bul-
lion on the continent, even at a sacrifice, anything else
will be but of little benefit.
tool of the present We believe that the Bank, during the past year, has
been made the complete
Administra-
tion, who rested at one time their chance of popularity
t n
Out of that Machiavelian scheme they have
backed with all the dignity that truly belongs to a Whig
Government faction. Thus, having-fostered a false trade
Corn-lave, la %v s . creating,
and then forcing an outcry against the
in foreign corn, when the plot failed they have le't the
bank the victim of their intrigues for popularity and desire
for place, tacitly giving it to understand that it must do
the best for itself, whilst the country at large is to be left
mercy of false principles of government, and also at
that th t'of a monetary establishment presumed to be national,
whilst the very conduct of the Government nullifies the
little power it has left to serve or rid the commerce, agri.
culture, and manufactures of the country.

METROPOLITAN POLITICAL

SUMMARY.

The Courier of last evening, alluding to Tuesday's
discussion in the Lords on the Jamaica Bill, says :—" The
Jamaica Bill, therefore, may fairly be considered defunct ;
and an important colony is abandoned to another year of
anarchy, in order that a set of men, whose own ambitious
views have been disappointed, may enjoy the satisfaction
of worrying the Minister of the day. As a matter of
course, those who join in this amiable endeavour to make
all government impossible, disclaim everything like party
motive. The whole Tory clique are animated only by a
desire to secure the sanctity of constitutional principles,
and to preserve inviolate the forms of popular govern-
ment 1 None of them indeed deny that the measure will
become indispensable, if the House of Assembly persist in
its quarrel with the Imperial Parliament: they do no not
deny that the House of Assembly has declared that it
will so persist ; indeed, it may fairly be doubted whether
one of them, however he may affect the contrary, really
expects the House of Assembly to give way. Delay,
therefore, is the least harmless consequence to which their
intrigues, from which party motives have been so carefully
excluded, can possibly lead. Ministers will be obliged to
abandon the Bill."
The Globe remarks as follows on the subject of the
Jamaica Bill ;_" The Tory Lords have again glorified
themselves, and furthered the designs of their party, by
employing their power against the public weal instead of
using it for the public benefit. The Jamaica Bill,
which escaped the fangs of faction in the House
of Commons, has been so mutilated by their potent
Lordships as to render it nearly, if not absolutely, in-
efficient for accomplishing the object it was designed to
effect; and which the state of the colony absolutely re-
quires for the preservation of the peace and the pro-
tection and improvement of property—both of which are
jeopardised, and the latter being extensively injured by the
absence of those laws which the contumacious House of
Assembly has absolutely refused to pass, or, indeed, to
take into consideration."
The Standard observes, with reference to the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury's proposed education motion in the
Lords :—" We are curious to learn whether any attempt
will be made to answer the arguments for a proposi-
tion so reasonable and necessary ; but we anticipate that
Lord Melbourne will, as usual, talk without answer-
ing ; this is one of the advantages of a professor of small
talk, in the station of a Prime Minister. He can bring
into play those talents which he has cultivated in boudoirs
and drawing-rooms, when it may be convenient, as it ge-
nerally is, to Lord Melbourne, to blink the merits of a
question. We hope, however, that the people are not re-
laxing in their preparations to support the Archbishop."
