SALES BY AUCTION.

THE RISEHOLME ESTATE, APPROACHING THE CITY
OF LINCOLN, ONE OF THE MOST COMPACT PRO-
PERTIES THROUGHOUT ENGLAND, WITH ITS
FAMED MANSION, PARK, AND ORNAMENTAL
WATERS, AND 1,533 ACRES OF LAND, IMME-
DIATELY SURROUNDING IT.
R. GEORGE ROBINS has received in-
structions from the Executors of the late Reverend
ROBERT CHAPLIN, to SELL by PUBLIC AUCTION, at the
CITY ARMS, LINCOLN, ON FRIDAY, May 24th, at One for
Two o'clock precisely,
A SINGULARLY ELIGIBLE FREEHOLD PROPERTY,
distinguished as

THE RISEHOLME ESTATE,
and unquestionably one of the
MOST FAVOURED IN LINCOLN'S COUNTY;

indeed the just renown it has enjoyed for many a long year, renders
it less important to go into a detail of its varied qualifications ; the
writer cannot, however, resist the delight and satisfaction of relating
a few of .its leading attributes. It is within two short miles of
THE CITY OF LINCOLN;

and the traveller to the North will be delighted to recognise it
in passing the Lodge-gate, where the Mail deposits and receives a
London bag daily.

THE STONE MANSION IS ONE

OF CONSIDERABLE OUTWARD PRETENSION'S;
and it claims to possess within an ?lmost superabundance of convent.

a lady (recherche in her taste) may indulge in her laudable propensity,
and it here in the ornamental decorations. The principal
rooms are of good proportions, and

THE LOYAL CITY OF LINCOLN,

and the time, it bh o uld seem, is not far distant when this consum.
mation, so devoutly to be wished, will be accomplished. From all
the Roems the views are greatly augmented and improved by the

ORNA:',IENTAL WATERS IN THE PARK,
which are of an extent, and so well imagined, that it is not dift

THE FAMED VIRGINIA WATERS
into Immediate recollection. The little Park, the Pleasure Grounds,
and Plantations, and Wilderness which screen the abode from the
wintry wind, are managed with se much tact and dexterity, by
means of Vistas, selected with corresponding judgment, that a dis.
tent view, including, in the intermediate space,
THE CATHEDRAL OF LINCOLN,
lends its helping hand in varying and adorning the Picture; and it
is a singular fact, that in
A DEMESNE EXTENDING OVER ONLY
FIFTEEN HUNDRED AND THI aTY.THREE ACRES,
the Turnpike-road from London should form a boundary of no less
than two long miles, with a luxuriant Plantation in the shape of an
ornamental belt, extending the whole distance.
The offices connected with the Mansion are well secluded, and
combine everything that a worthy possessor of the

"PET PLACE OF LINCOLN"

can desire.

THE EXTENSIVE WALLED GARDENS,

with Grapery and Greenhouse, render it independent of auxiliary
aid and expense.

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.
R. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to
OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION and peremptorily,
at the Auction Mart, London, on TUESDAY, May 21, 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 Ca ell and Kanawha counties. They are fertile
almost beyond belief, the soil adapted to the production of evety_
thing that is useful and necessary for ell consumption—via., Barley,
Wheat (averaging 30 bushels per Rai*. Rye, Oats, Cotton, Pota.
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

NAMING OF CATTLE
of all kinds, and three year/ 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 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 natural
productions. _ .

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,
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 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

farmer having saved even from 2001. to 300/. from the wreck of his

SALES BY AUCTION.

On the Banks of LOCH LOMOND, a distinguished ESTATE for
OCCUPATION or INVESTMENT, FIVE MILES from
DUMBARTON, and within TWENTY.FIVE HOURS'
JOURNEY of LONDON.
3111. GEORGE ROBINS has great pleasure
in announcing that he is favoured by the Instructions of
the Proprietor to OFFER FOR SALE by AUCTION, in June,
a singularly delightful Freehold Estate, including
THE CASTLE OF TULLICHEWEN,
presenting one of the
• FINEST SPECIMENS OF GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE,
WITH ITS BEAUTIFUL PARK, CULTIVATED LANDS,
AND EXTENSIVE WOODS,
Delightfully situate, within Five Miles of the
GIGANTIC ROCK AND FORTRESS OF DUMBARTON,
on the most interesting point of the Clyde, and only Twenty miles
Arm the City of Glasgow.
This splendid Property is now, by means of the Birmingham
and Grand Junction Railways and the Steam Communication
brought within a short Journey of
TWENTY-FIVE HOURS FROM THE GREAT,
METROPOLIS.
THE CASTLE STANDS PROUDLY IN A FINELY
WOODED PARK,
and It is one of the leading features of this renowned spot, over-
looking the most magnificent Scenery of Scotland, and altogether
commensurate 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 localg at Tullichewen for a limited season, will find
the great desideratum of its not being inconveniently large, with
the recreation of

SHOOTING, AND FISHING,
as 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 5001. a-year, independently of the-
woods, which are in high condition. The mansion is suitably fur.
nished ; the aid of Gillow and Dowbiggin, the celebrated artistes
in decorative furniture, have been called in to complete it; and
the appendages, in Pictures and articles of taste and vertu, give to
it a decided supremacy over all its neighbouring rivals. The offi-
ces-are fully equal to the ntost 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.
LOCH LOMOND,
THE "NE PLUS ULTRA" OF SCOTLAND'S FAMED
LAKES,
Rhin 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 imperfeect 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 pourttay 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

SCOTIA'S OWN BARD
found himself in the same dilemma. AR 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
THE LIGHT OF A SEPTEMBER MOON,
he would invoke with all humility, yet earnestness, to search fur
what the greatest novelist of by.gone days has said of
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL OF
ALL THE CALEDONIAN LAKES.
The magic touch of his nevcr.erring muse must awaken a sen►ation
first to see and then to possess
THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF THIS VICINITY,
" So wondrous wild, the whole might seem,
The scenery of a fairy dream."
Next in onr kind remembrance
IS BEN LOMOND,
which will nertosarily partake of its due fined of praise.
This mountain,
LIKE SAUL AMIDST HIS COMPANIONS,
o'crtops all contemporaries. The valley, teeming in wild fertility,
relieved by pastures and corn land, and varied by
ALL THE SOFTER BEAUTIES OF NATURE,
completes a scene which can only be appreciated by ocular demon.
stration. To conclude, one half of the purchase-money may
remain on security of the Estates, at four per cent. There are
three beautiful Views of the Castle and Loch to be seen at Mr.
Robins's Offices.
