LODGES PORTRAITS OF
ILLUSTRIOUS PERSONAGES,
in consequence of the dissolution of their partnership, and the re-
tirement of the principal partner.
The elevation of this building, which is justly acknowledged to
be one Of the CHIEF EDIFICES
among the recent improvements near Charing Cross, forms exter-
nally one pile of
SIMPLE ARCHITECTURAL GRANDEUR,
and its extent and capabilities within will be found to vie with
The CHIEF LIBRARIES of EUROPE.
Its front is bounded by the open square, in which has recently
been erected the

NOBLE STATUE of KING GEORGE 111.
and the prospect Eastward opens uninterruptedly upon the majestic
PORTICO of ST. MARTIN'S CHURCH, the NATIONAL
GALLERY,
And TRAFALGAR-SQUARE.

By these great natural endowments this splendid site combines
beauties and advantages of position not only unequalled, but un-
attainable by any Society or Club, however vast their resources,
or however great the sums they would pay to obtain them. When
in addition to these natural advantages, the greatness of its tho-
roughfare, with the incessant passage of public carriages to the
City (sufficiently removed to avoid inconvenience), are considered,
its great capabilities for any GREAT COMMERCIAL ESTA-
BLISHMENT, PUBLIC or PRIVATE BANKING FIRMS,
CLUB, or INSURANCE COMPANY, stand unrivalled.
Among the peculiar advantages for a Club, the house, No. 25, in
Great Suffolk- street, adjoining the principal building, and forming
part of the property to be submitted for sale, affords an opportunity
for throwing the whole of the floors of the chief building into un-
interrupted areas or saloons, and of obtaining access through this
building at a tithe of the expense which would be incurred in the
erection of an especial building, at thirty or forty thousand pounds
expense, the rock upon which so many Societies have been wrecked.
Among the MANY IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL OBJECTS
to s hich these splendid premises are peculiarly available, and for
which object no outlay whatever would be incurred, having been
already arranged in the most convenient divisions for commercial
offices and counting houses, while that of a
GREAT HABERDASHER'S TRADE
is evidently paramount, as the excellence and publicity of its posi-
tion, with double entrance in Pall Mall, East, and Great Suffolk-
street, afford superior facilities to those of ANY SIMILAR ESTA-
BLISHMENT, either in its immediate Vicinity at the West End,
or by any of the Great Wholesale City Houses, to any of which this
would form a most important Branch. It may be well to observe,
by way of conclusion, it is a vis-a-vis
" THE UNIVERSITY CLUB."

The property is leasehold for 27 years
FROM THE CROWN

IN FRANCE,
WHERE the ENGLISH MAY POSSESS LAND and REAL
ESTATES with the SAME RIGHTS as the FRENCH.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to SELL
BY AUCTION, at the Mart in London, on TUESDAY
the 25th of October, at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot,
A VALUABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE.

It includes
ABOUT 650 ENGLISH ACRES of EXCELLENT LAND,
Uncultivated only since the days of the Revolution in France in
1794. Prior to this period it was
REMARKABLE FOR ITS FERTILITY,
and as justice has at length prevailed over despotism and violence,
and the title become established by a
JUDGMENT of the COUR ROYALE,
CONDEMNING the COMMUNES to make RESTITUTION,
WITH ALL COSTS AND DAMAGES,
it offers to an ENGLISH AGRICULTURIST an unquestion-
ably safe Investment, a fine field for his superior skill, and a certainty
in a few years of realising his brightest hopes and expectations.
The Estate is situate about two miles from the picturesque
OLD FORTIFIED TOWN OF MONCONTOUR,
which commands a view over a country luxuriant beyond the power
of imagination. It is little more than 12 miles from St. Brieux, the
PRINCIPAL SEA-PORT TOWN and CAPITAL of the
.DEPARTMENT of the COTES DU NORD,
and only about 40 miles from ST. MALO, with
FINE MACADAMISED HIGH-ROADS,
which bound the property for above a mile, and which to the south
conduct, at six miles distance, to L'OUDIAC, a town of 6,000
inhabitants; and about four miles further to the course of the
CANAL from NANTES to BREST,
and also to L'Orient ; and by way of auxiliary to never-ending. ad-
vantages, it is only about
TWENTY HOURS SAIL FROM SOUTHAMPTON,
whence magnificent Steamers depart several times in the week,
and a pleasant remove from
THE ISLANDS OF JERSEY AND GUERNSEY.
Innumerable Chateaux and Country Seats, belonging to and occu-
pied by some of the

MbS;FANCI.EiIi' AND BEST FAMILIES IN FRANCE,
for which Britanny is famed, are to be found in every direction.
To enumerate them would exceed the present limit. It need only
he observed, by way of illustration, that the
MAGNIFICENT CHATEAU DE LORGES,
one of the finest in all France, the splendid Seat of
THE DUKE DE CHOISEUL,
and his extensive FOREST and DOMAIN of
TEN LEAGUES IN CIRCUMFERENCE,
and where game is without end, is only about five miles off. There
are good residences to be had in the vicinity for a trifle, until
industry shall raise up
A LITTLE ENGLISH TOWN,
for which every facility is afforded by means of all descriptions of
materiel for building being close at hand, and labour and provisions
are both cheap and abundant—to wit, a labourer who feeds himself
is well content with Bd. a day.
JERSEY and GUERNSEY, and other MARKETS,
consults ,e at good prices, the superfluity of grain and cattle, and
Steam Navigation prompts an industrious yeoman to this aid only
when great occasion commands. To those not thoroughly versed
in the Province of Brittany, it may be useful to observe that the best
land between St. Malo and Dinan lets readily at Four Pounds an acre
per annum. A large portion of the estate may again be converted
into THE FINEST MEADOW LANDS ;
the remainder profitably adapted to sheep and arable farms. There
are springs in the land, and water-mills near at hand.
THE CLIMATE IS DELIGHTFUL,
and is assimilated to " THE SOUTH OF FRANCE." The
English are exceedingly well received in Brittany, and there is a
manifest desire to avail themselves of the benefit of
PRACTICAL ENGLISH AGRICULTURISTS,
as they are at least one century in the rear of English farming.
The country is peaceable—the peasantry civil and honest—anti
THE PRISONS ARE EMPTY.
Such is an outline of what may be contemplated by those who,
having limited means, are desirous to improve their station in life.
THE ENTERPRIZING AGRICULTURIST CANNOT
FAIL TO SUCCEED,
if talent and industry be the accompanying attendants.
To those who may be sceptical as to the liberty of English to
hold land in France, an OFFICIAL LETTER from
ONE OF THE MINISTERS OF FRANCE,
declaratory of its legality, and of the encouragement of the Govern-
ment, may be seen at the office of Mr. Robins.
To conclude—by way of encouragement to the English purchaser,
Two Pounds Ten Shillings per Acre only will be required, on taking
possession ; the remainder may be secured to the vendor by a mort-
gage for seven or ten years, at 5 per cent. interest.
One sentence more by way of climax._
IT IS EXEMPT FROM TITHE AND TAXES.
Very descriptive particulars arc ready, and to be had at the Water-
loo Hotel, Live9ool; the Printers of the " Manchester Times" ,
and " Advertiser ' Manchester ; the Auction Mart ; and at Mr.
George Robins's 'Office, London.
