the SURVIVING PARTNER of Mr. HENEKEY, begs
to inform his Friends and the Public, that no alteration in the

share and interest therein, the Stock and Capital employed re-
main undisturbed; and, as the selection and purchasing of

VERY LIMITED MEANS WEALTH WITHOUT RISK

possessing only the essential requisites of industry and talent. A
farmer having saved even from 200/. to 3001. 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, conse.
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
sought as the resting place of nearly all 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 will pos.
Bess 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 Mr. George Robins's Of.

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 roaturitcy,
and run through a large portion of this elegible property.
The lands are in Cabell and Kanawha counties. They are fertile
almost boyond belief, the soil adapted to the production of evci y-
thing that is useful and necessary for city consumption—viz., Barley,
Wheat (averaging 30 bushels per we), Rye, Oats, Cotton, Pots.
toes, Maize (averaging 60 to 100 bushels per acre), Turnips, Hay
(crops tw• 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 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.
FOR THIS CHARMING COUNTRY,

is not only rich in beautiful and picturesque scenery, lout 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
enterpi ise may be 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, winch
add in a large degree to the already large protit, being in great
demand for ship-building, steam-boats, and exportation.
It may, therefore, be stated, in great confidence, that this sale
will secure to those of

STATE OF TRADE.—There was no improve-
ment in our Market yesterday. Prices, both of goods and
yarns, were lower than on the' preceding Tuesday, and
there was very little business doing at the reduction. We
are glad to find, however, that the increase in the rate
of interest by the Bank of England has not had, and does
not seem likely to have, any serious effect upon the trade of
this neighbourhood. We believe the banks experience
very little pressure for money, and credit, generally, re-
mains good. In fact, there has been very little specula-
tive business carried on in this neighbourhood for a long
time past ; and the merchants and manufacturers have
their engagements, generally, within moderate compass.—...

Brussels and Dutch Papers of the latest dates, were
received last ❑ight. The following extracts from them,
include all the news they contain of any interest :--.
BRUSSELS, APRIL 11.—Ilis Majesty gave an audience of
leave yesterday to the Baron de Beer, resident Minister at
Constantinople.
It seems that the affairs of the city of Brussels are likely
to be settled. The Government, it is said, require the
adoption of the following bases :
The city to take on itself the indemnity to be paid for
the losses by pillage, and to make over to the Government
the museum, with all the collections relative to learning
and the arts which they contain. On the other hand, th•
Government to allow the city an annual sum of 400,000
francs for it, to be inscribed as a creditor in the Great
Book of the public debt.
BaUSCILS, APRIL 12.—Lieutenant Prisse, of the Artil-
lery, Secretary to the Legation of his Majesty the King
of the Belgians to Mexico, has gone to London, whence
he will proceed to his destination to join Baron do Norman,
who is commissioned to negotiate a treaty of commerce be-
tween Belgium atd Mexico.
It does not seem to bo yet ascertained how many per-
sons were the victims of the late explosion in the mine of
Henn ; 49 or 50 dead bodies have been dug out of the
mine, and it is hoped that these are all the victims, but some
persons apprehend that the number is greater.
MUNICH, APRIL 6.—llassan Khan, Ambassador from the
Shah of Persia, arrived here yesterday evening with a suite o
12 persons from Vienna, and proceeded to-day at noon on his
journey to Paris, where he will stop some time and after-
wards go to England.

FREEHOLD FARM of SUPERIOR LAND, and an Excelllent
WATER MILL, near to BASINGSTOKE.
Their ANNUAL VALUE 400 GULtIEAS.
By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, -
At the Auction Mart, on, Tunasnav, the 6th of June, at
• Tw, lve. o'clock, in Two Lots, •
A. CAPITAL. FREEHOLD FARM,
called DEAN'S LAND. It consists of -

_
A SUPERIOR FARM HOUSE and
ONE HUNDRED and TWO ACRES of REMARKABLY
GOOD LAND;
pleasantly situate only one mile from the high London read, four
from Basingstoke, and within five miles of
THE SOUTHAMPTON RAILWAY STATION.
The Farm includes some of the best Land in. the Country—five
quarters of wheat per Acre is the constant average, and it is known
that in most land this would wear out the soil; it appears in this
case it will not tire, and the present crops look most eneDuraging.
IT IS A SINGULARLY COMPACT ESTATE,
with the comfortable abode placed in the very centre.
THE WATER CORN isla.r„
Carrying three pair of Stones, is in view. It has a residence that
recall to our reccaretion the famed oao recorded in history
of the

JOLLY MILLER, who LIVED on the "RIVER DEE ;"

it is full of comfort. The RIM has four floors, and the supply
i
of water is never.failing. Twenty leads of wheat s a fair ave-
rage of its capability, to grind weekly.
A TROUT STREAM PASSES THROUGH
the Estate, and occasionally lends its refreshing aid in irrigating
the adjacent pastures. This Mill is sadly underlet at One Hundred
Pounds a year, being worth at least Two Hundred Guineas, and

At the dinner given last week at Paris to Mr.
LEADER, which we noticed on Saturday, there prevailed
the most friendly feeling towards the English people,
The observations made by him on the intimate union of
Reformers in the two countries were received with enthu-
siastic applause, and responded to in a toast proposed by
M. GARNIEIL PAGEi, accompanied with those words
—" The antipathies which so long divided the
two nations are fast dying away, and to unite them still
more closely, it must not be forgotten, that we have two
principles to conquer—liberty and equality. We have
more equality than Englishmen, and England has more
liberty than France, and it is by striving to attain two
great objects, and make them common to both, that the
feeling and political principles of the two nations will be
brought more completely into unison." He then gave
the Radical minorities in the Chamber of Deputies, and
in the House of Commons, which was loudly cheered.
The reception given to SOULT here by the populace,
and the attempts made by the Tory press to render him
unpopular, showed which are the parties that would keep
up a bad feeling between two great nations. Had the
people followed the wicked instigations of a certain class
in this country, as unfortunately they did half a century
ago, and treated with rudeness or insult the representa-
tive of France, it would require little foresight to
tell what would have been the effect on a nation
so excitable as the French when their honour
is concerned ; but the people of England showed
more hospitality, more generosity, and more wisdom,
than those who would be their rulers, and they were
repaid for it by the unanimous praise of the French
press, and by the warm reception tvhicb they give to
every Englishinan, like Lord BIiOUGHAti or Mr.
LEADER, who advocates their rights.
The dinner took place on the day the Editors of tho
National and of other two papers were acquitted of
an indictment for libel. M. Mann:, the advocate who
defended the National, a number of other advocates
and editors of papers, were present, and among the

The object of the Committee on Railways appointed
on Friday night is to ascertain whether the powers en-
trusted to Railway Companies have been advantage-
ously exercised, whether any amendment can be made
or any yew regulations adopted with regard to Railway
Bills before the House. On the occasion, Mr. HAWES
put a string of questions, filling nearly half a
column in one of the Morning Papers, having
first premised that the appointment of the
Committee was a most undue, improper, and wanton
interference with capital. Injudicious friends often in-
jure a cause more than open enemies, and in this in-
stance we regard Mr. Hawes as one of that class. We
cannot indeed conceive what object he could have in
view, by the strange speech of which he delivered him-
self that evening. Are we to infer from it, that
Railway Companies have adopted such an admi-
rable system of management that it cannot be
improved ; or, on the contrary, that the system is bad,
and will not bear the test of a Committee ? We
have paid some attention to the subject : no Journal,
for the last ten years, has shown half the zeal for the
prosperity of these undertakings displayed by The Sun ;
and we therefore may be permitted, in spite of Mr.
Hawes, to say that if success has not equalled
expectations, the Government, the Legislature, and
even the Companies themselves, are to blame for
not having adopted the course which he depre-
cates with such extraordinary zeal. Had the Le-
gislature devoted half the attention to these
great national undertakings displayed by the Belgian
Chambers, the condition of many of the Companies
would,have been very different from what it is. The
superintending, we might almost say paternal, care of
the Government has watched over the system there
from the commencement, not only to protect the public
but to protect shareholders, to prevent unnecessary
competing lines, and to defeat exorbitant claims for
compensation. Owing to this system, the great line of
road through Belgium has turned out a most prosper-
ous undertaking ; the fares are extremely moderate,
the traffic proportionably great, and the shareholders
reap an ample interest for their money. Mr. Hawes
says he has little or no interest in railroad
shares ; and his string of questions would lead
one to infer as much. Could any question
for instance, be more injurious to shareholders than
this?'--" Whatitailroad had yet returned a remunerating
profit for the capital embarked." And could any thing
show greater ignorance of the actual state of affairs,
than the assertion that there had been no interference
with fair competition ? Has he heard nothing of the
grievous complaints made by one company of carriers
against the preference given to another ? Has
he heard nothing of . the complaints against one
line in particular, while the newspapers have
been full of them ? But the whole speech
has all the appearance of burlesque, and the House
seemed to treat it as such. The fact is, as Mr. P.
