It may be well first to premise, that the reason for this sale will be
very encouraging to a successor.
THE DISTILLERY ORIGINATED IN 1729
by an ancestor of the present Proprietor, and during a
PERIOD OF ONE HUNDRED AND TEN YEARS
it has continued in the family, each having carried it on success.
fully. It may be asked—where is a corresponding case to be found,
or one so encouraging to those who would connect themselves
WITH THIS WHEEL OF FORTUNE?
As it is most probable all the competitors for this first-rate concern
will desire to have ocular demonstration of the facts that have been
slightly glanced at, the present statement well be confiner only to a
very few of its prominent features.
The Property is nearly all Freehold, and has been completed at
intervals by means of an immense outlay, and may now be very
safely designated one of
THE MOST COMPLETE MALT
DISTILLERIES IN ENGLAI:D.
It is wisely placed a few yards only from the River Severn, and the
Rectifying House and buildings suitable for the Wine Trade, are
immediately on the opposite side the river. The Distillery ar.d
Rectifying House are close to
THE BRIDGE IN WORCESTER.
It is not perhaps generally known that one of the leading causes of
such a succession of good fortune arises out of a fact which it may
be well to notice; fortunately it has not had to contend with compe-
tition and rivalry

THROUGHOUT ENGLAND.
THERE ARE ONLY 12 MALT DISTILLERIES,
and nothing nearer to Worcester than Bristol and Liverpool.
A purchaser will necessarily require considerable capital to em.
bark in this field of fortune; great accommodation will, however,
be afforded to those who can offer solid security. To conclude:
Mr. Robins dares not trust himself to proclaim
THE SECRETS OF THE PRISON HOUSE
i n a public announcement; the profits have been satisfactory ; the pre-
cise amount will be left as a " bonne bouche" to those individuals who
make a journey to Worcester, who, if aided by strong concurring
testimony, of great respectability, will be allowed a full opportunity
to investigate, and see, upon record a happy illustration of the cha_
teeter so imperfectly awarded to it by this short announcement.
The Water Carriage from the Severn River and Canal to distant
parts of England, and the Railroad, which is nearly accomplished to
London and to Bristol, are auxiliaries that will not escape public
attention.
The Plants, both of the Distillery and the Rectifying House, are
to be taken at a valuation, with early possession.
Principals only will be dealt with ; the printed particulars will
be ready on the 10th inst., with a plan of the distillery ; to be then
had at the Waterloo Hotel, Liverpool ; of Mr. Fisher, Auctioneer,
Manchester ; at the Bush Hotel, Bristol; New London Hotel,
Exeter; of Mr. Laslett and Mr. Knipe, both of Worcester, Solici-
tors ; the Auction Mart, and at Mr. George Robins's Offices,
Covent-Garden.
There is a Plan, upon a large scale, distinguishing the Brewery,
the Rectifying House, the two Residences, &c., which may be seen
at Mr. George Robins's Offices.

" Thii discourse, as a collection of important facts interesting

less as a philosopher than as a man."—Monthly Review.

the Prince of Protocols, who assured us that " he had not a
paragraph in him," the last having been expended to complete
the piscatory portion of the Queen's Speech, we had some
notion of applying to Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, but feared
he would be too Whiggish and classical. Then we turned
our eyes to Eaton-square, and thought of placing ourselves
under an obligation to Sir William Molesworth, but changed
our mind, lest his Durham politics should creep through a
transparent veil of Radicalism. Tom Wyse we were half in-
clined to solicit, but he wouldhave been rather heavy, and had
enough to do in Waterford. Richard Shell had the next place
in our consideration, bat his style would have been too spark..
ling and light for us ; and, moreover, we knew that ha was
busied not only in preparing a patriotic address to the electors
of Tipperary, but also in obtaining some knowledge of the
tallow and molasses trade out of APCulloch's " Commercial
Dictionary."
Having at length seen that we must ourselves put en our
apron, and take up our tools, for the due execution of the un-
dertaking, we were fairly bothered deciding whether the affair
should be extremely long and dull, or uncommonly short and
merry. Conscience whispered that we should speak the truth,
but we remembered that the philosopher of Malmesbury has
denounced all truth-telling public writers as dangerous to the
safety of a corrupt and tyrannical commonwealth, and has re-
commended that both them and their lucubrations should be
bundled off te some comfortable and hospitable country, like
Australia or New Zealand. Our disposition and interest
prompted us to treat a grave matter with becoming serious-
ness ; but then the advice of Pliny flashed upon our memory,
( [lt in vita sic in studiis pulcherrimum, &c.) where he recom-
mends us to mingle mirth and gravity in our studies. We
feared to be vivacious and pointed, lest we should be condemned
as frivolous and slanderous, and suffer that public displeasure
which has ever been visited upon unhappy authors since the
time that the Athenians burned the books of Protagoras, and
the RombaensahuriltiettdlseDtapiovlgaeeitnno,en s and his companions out of their
city, for telling more than they wished to hear. " Human

of Lord Bacon, who informs us that " the fame of Seneca and
Cicero was kept fresh by their boasting, which seems to be like
varnish, that not only makes•wood shine, but last; but we drew
ourselves up, and, upon reflection, decreed that self:praise, so
far as we were concerned, should be monopolized by the com-
pounders of Morison's Pills, and Holloway's Poor Man's Oint-
ment. Here, then, we were at a dead-lock, and seizing our
pen, first wrote a furious letter to Dr. Dionysius Lardner, com-
plaining that science had not yet discovered some piece of me-
chanism that might manufacture Prospectuses of all sorts and
sizes by steam—then set about inditing one after the good old-
fashioned plan.
The Amphitryon thinks the choicest blessing of life a re-
cherche repast; the exquisite prizes above all things a well-cut
coat, or an unobjectionable cigar ; the Ennuyee pants for the last
new novel, or the opera ; the Rational Man aline loves an
honest and clever newspaper. But where is he to find it?
Most assuredly not among the Liberal Journals of Dublin • for
we, not long ago, went over the catalogue of the Liberal'Me-
tropolitan prints with the talented Mr. George Robins, who
confessed, with a yawn and a sigh, that beginning with the
oldest, and leaving off with the youngest,—" the chief of the
Irish Press," (a tribute, by the way, paid to our own humble
exertions by the honest Sheffield Iris)—" he never had the
misfortune to have submitted to his inspection so bad a lot, or
cne which would furnish such scanty materials for the puff ex-
traordinary." Spenser tells us that the Dublin Liberal News-
papers, or " carryers of newes," in his time were " fooles and
notable rogues." Tom Moore, if we are to believe Willis, has
described the present generation as downright blockheads; while
.11r. O'Connell, by way of driving home the nail, designates the
whole concern

These be hard lines, as the sailors say, but " non noster hic
serum."

It will now, we imagine, be admitted that something in the
shape of an able and honest Journal is required to " stop the
gap." To put such .an intellcetual vehicle upon the road, we
think, would be considered Quixotic, even by so speculative and
excellent a judge of such matters as Mr. Peter Purcell. " A
Party is necessary," exclaim the Tory parson, and the Liberal
placehunter, "or else you will reckon but few readers." Upon
this point we join issue, and hope, for the honour of civilized
humanity, that as the Irish public maintain a sufficient number
of newspapers to tell them falsehood, they will vouchsafe to sup-
port one which, at all risks, is determined to announce to them
the truth.

" All that mortal art bath wrought,
In our cell returns to nought;
The molten gold returns to clay,
The polish'd diamond melts away.
All is altered, all is flown—
Nought stands fast but truth alone."

In Politics we shall be Radicals, and devoted to the People,
utterly regardless of the smiles or frowns of the select and
interested few. Such a course, we know, is always perilous
and often profitless—
" Hard is his task who edits—thankless job—
A weekly journal for the factious mob ;
Alike undone, or if he praise or rail;
For this affects his safety, that his sale :
He sinks, at last, in luckless limbo set—
If loud, for libel—and if dumb, for debt."
We shall always be happy, when we can agree with those
men who, however they may sometimes err, have rendered
efficient service, and made many sacrifices for the cause of
liberty; but we shall not advocate that wait-a-while policy
which holds out promises to suffering millions which are never
likely to be realized—

is preposterous.
The elderly gentleman evidently meant the latter de-
claration to make an impression upon the fat young
man, for he suited the action to the word in a manner
scarcely endurable by human flesh. He lifted up his
head, turned it half round towards Mr. Smith's advo-
cate, sneered at him, and extending his right arm to its
full length, waved it towards his antagonist in the most
magnificent manner imaginable. The action spoke for
itself—it said, " Young man, you're a fool ; hold your
tongue."
Fat Young Man (puffing with rage)—Sir, I'm not
a—a —, Sir, I'm not to be put down. You're an
ignorant old fellow (giving the word an emphasis abso-
lutely quite musical). You're an ignorant old fellow.
I say he did catch the cold during the long stage ; and
if you mean (stamping on the floor, and getting white in
the face) to say he did not, why, Sir (and the " fat
boy" pulled out his card case), I'll trouble you to ac-
cept
Here the Commissioners, who were convulsed with
laughter, interfered, and cheiked the bubbling valour
of the young gentleman. Having allowed him a few
minutes in order to cool down a little,
A Commisstotan addressed " the elderly gentle-
man," and observed the facts were that Mr. Smith did
not admit the set-off of it.
Elderly Gentleman—Just so.
COMMISSIONER—And which, you say, Mr. Smith
has been paid?
Elderly Gentleman—Oh, yes, in this way. Before
Miss Bayley married Mr. Smith, Mr. Bayley, her
brother, lent her a sovereign.
Fat Young Man—Oh ! dear me, Mr. Gilson, you're
not going to pursue such a shameless course ?. Dear me,
Mr. Smith wouldn't for the world --.
Elderly Gentleman—Have this known, Mr. Lewis ;
but it must be known. Mr. Bayley has intrusted this
case to my discretion, and his interest shall not lose
anything at my. hands. Gentlemen, Mr. Bayley lent
his sister before her marriage with Mr. Smith, a sove-
reign, to buy a lavender-coloured silk bonnet for her—
Fat Young Man—Stop, Mr. Gilson—for goodness
sake, do stop—Mr. Smith would rather lose 20/. than
this expose should go on. Pray, Gentlemen (addressing
the Commissioners), do adjourn the case till I can speak
to Mr. Smith.
CommisstoNEß=Adjourn it I say dismiss it.
The case is disgraceful to both parties.
Another COMMISSIONER—I move that the case be
dismissed.
A third COMMISSIONER—I second it.
CHAIRMAN-All you who are of that opinion, hold
up your hands. Carried unanimously—dismissed. Call
on the next. case.
The parties then left the office, the fat young man
terribly chagrined, and declaring as he was a gentleman
" he certainly world have satisfactiota ouc of that fellow
Gilson, and that before he tasted another morsel—a
long-stage coachman, too, to know anything about I

CAUTION TO PERSONS KEEPING GIGS.—
At a meeting of the Commissioners of Taxes, held at Ax_
bridge, on the 23d ult., a farmer appealed to be relieved
from the tax on a gig. The appellant proved it was marked
with his name, &c., agreeably to Act of Parliament, and
that he (the appellant) had given under the sum of 211. for
the same to a coachmaker. On further examination it ap-
peared to have been bought of the latter second-hand, and
as neither the appellant or coachmaker could prove that it
had never before been so►d for a price exceeding the above
sum, the Commissioners held him liable, and confirmed the
charge accordingly.

Evans, all their first Christian names being Evan, and
these lour Evan Evanses have, strange to say, married four
sisters.

viz., that of cutting off and stealing the ears of wheat, as
they stand in sheaves in the field ready to be carried. On
Tuesday several parsons were examined before the Magis
trates of the division, charged with the commission of this
crime in Fordington-field, and the examination terminated
in two of the men being committed to take their trial at
the ensuing sessions. .

COLLISION OF A STEAMER IN THE RIVER
TnAmEs. —On Thursday night a most alarming accident,
occurred in the Thames, off Deptford i the Pearl, Rail:a-
gate steamer, proceeding to the Custom-house quay,
having come in collision with a coal barge, heavy laden,
with three men on board. So violent was the shock that
the barge almost instantly sank, and the paddle-wheel and
box of the steamer were carried away. The poor fellows
on the barge were got on board the steamer, and their
lives providentially saved.

so ;or at the Company's office, 137, Leadenha -s ree so very much indisposed that he is unable to put his foot
out of doors."
The Crier of the Court—Which is Mr. Wm. Bayley?
A tall elderly gentleman, with a smiling countenance,
the " lengthened sweetness long drawn out" of the poet,
tripped forward, and said Mr. William Bayley had
requested that he would represent him upon the present
occasion, and explain matters.
COMMISSIONER—Wby does not Mr. Bayley attend ?
The Tall Elderly Gentleman—He is extremely ill-
-very ill—too ill to present himself before you.
COMMISSIONER—DO you admit the debt ?
Elderly Gentleman—No. Mr. Bayley has a set off
to the amount of If. the remaining 10d. has been paid.
The Fat Young Man—The remaining 10d. paid in-
deed! Gentlemen (addressing the Commissioners), I
am particularly requested by Mr. Smith to inform you
that he never would have taken legal proceedings for
the recovery of this sum bad it not been for the gross
manner in which that 10d. was sent to him.
COMMISSIONER—And pray how was it sent back?
The Fat Young Man—Why, gentlemen in the most
unprecedented manner—in a manner scarcely credible.
He sent it back, gentlemen, in a twopenny-post letter,
sixpence in silver and fourpence in ha'pence. The
letter weighed a quarter of a pound exactly.
Elderly Gentleman (with provoking equanimity)—
Quite correct ; just within the Post-office allowance.
Fat Young Man (spitefully)—Yes, and Mr. Smith
says he'll never forgive or forget it.
COMMISSIONER—That is very rash, and, I should
think, a most unchristian vow, seeing that Mr. Smith is
as you say, " very much indisposed, and cannot put his
foot out of doors."
Elderly Gentleman (shaking his head)—Allow me to
assure you, gentlemen, that he's not ill at all. The
fact is, that Mr. Smith's wife (and the elderly gentleman
looked at the fat young man and laughed) is ashamed
of the matter, and will not permit him to be well enough
to come here.
Fat Young Man—And Mr. Bayley is afraid to come
here (endeavouring to look big). He knows I would
expose him in such a manner as he was never exposed
in the whole course of his life.
COMMISSIONER—Stop, gentlemen, if you please.
What has the plaintiff's wife to do with the case?
Elderly Gentleman—lt is useless to disguise the
matter ; the fact is, Gentlemen, that Mrs. Smith is
Mr. Bayley's sister. Mr. Smith is a medical man, and
Mr. Bayley drives a long stage. Mr. Bayley caught a
very violent cold in consequence of having lent Mr.
Smith his Mackintosh ; the day was rainy, Mr. Bayley
got wet through, and a cold was the result. Mr. Smith
differed as to the manner in which Mr. Bayley took
cold, giving it as his opinion that it arose from driving
his stage of nights. A quarrel ensued upon this diffe-
rence of opinion ; Mr. Bayley refused to take any more
of Mr. Smith's medicine.
COMMISSIONER—For presuming to know better than
Mr. Bayley how be (Bayley) caught cold?
Elderly Gentleman—Exactly so; Mr. Bayley thought,
and very reasonably, I consider, that a man who was
so presumptuous and obstinate in his opinion as to the
cause of the cold, was not the best person in the world
to prescribe for it.
Fat Young Man (warmly)—Mr. Smith did knew the
cause of Mr. Bayley's cold.
Elderly Gentleman (meekly)—With great submis-
sion he did not.
Fat Young Man (passionately)—l say he did, Sir.
Do you mean, Sir—
The elderly gentleman shook his bead, bowed with
the most aggravating politeness to the fat young man,
and smiled.
Fat Young Man (vehemently)—Do you mean, Sir, to
say, that Mr. Bayley did not catch his cold as Mr.
Smith says he did ?
Certainly, I do (said the elderly gentleman, growing
rather warm)—l mean to contend that the want of his
Mac)tintosh was the cause. Driving a long stage of
Aights never could have given a man such a cold. It
