" Evidently the work of a person of various and extraor-
dinary intellectual gifts. He is a close observer of character
and manners, with a strong 'rinse of the ridiculous and a graphic
faculty of placing in the most whimsical and amusing lights the
follies and absurdities of human nature. He has the power too, of
producing tears as well as laughter. His pictures of the vices and
wretchedness which abound in this vast city, are sufficient to strike
to the heart of the most careless and insensible reader. The book
is richly illustrated by the modern Hogarth, George Cruikshank,
who has evidently surpassed any of his previous efforts. "_1

IN IRELAND, WITHIN FORTY MILES OF DUBLIN, A
FINE FREEHOLD INVESTMENT, INCLUDING 3,414
ACRES OF CAPITAL LAND, WELL TENANTED,
AND RENTS PAID MOST REGULARLY.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the pleasure to
announce to the PUBLIC, that fie is directed to SELL
by AUCTION, at Morrison's Hotel, Dawson-street, Dublin, on
SATURDAY, the 9th of April, at 12 o'clock, in 7 Lots, with a view
to the discharge of younger childrens' portions, and all the pecu-
niary obligations of
THE LATE THOMAS COSBY, Esq.,

STRADBALLY HALL,
ONE OF THE FINEST PROPERTIES
IN IRELAND,

and as a

PERMANENT INVESTMENT FOR CAPITAL
one of exceeding rare occurrence. It comprehends
A PORTION OF THE TIMAHOE ESTATE,
a well known estate, together with the
MANOR AND MANORIAL RIGHTS
AND THE LORDSHIP OF TIMAHOE,
IN THE QUEEN'S COUNTY,
desirably situate within 40 Irish miles of
THE CITY OF DUBLIN.
four from Maryborough and Abbeyleix, and within moderate reach
of other very important market towns. It consists of
3,414 ENGLISH ACRES,
divided with great care and judgment into very compact and service-
able farms, with suitable buildings, the whole lying together in a
very advantageous manner, situate in the townlands of
BALLINACLOITGH, AUGHONEY,
TIMAHOE, ESKER, BALLINTLEA,
COOLNEBACCA, KYLE, AND TOFSEY ;
every farm is in excellent order, and well tenanted, and the rental,
which exceeds
THREE THOUSAND POUNDS A YEAR,
is paid most punctually. It should in fairness be stated that the
late possessor made a very considerable sacrifice of rental to insure
so respectable a tenantry. It will not be amiss to state, with a view
to remind the Irish, and to illumine the English capitalist, to point
out a few advantages, that have had but little weight in their esti-
mation heretofore; it has been too mach the fashion to talk of
Irish property as of supposititious value—the rental as exceedingly
difficult in its collection, and the tenantry poor and dissatisfied. In
some distant parts of Ireland, where land is over let, or rented by
those real oppressors of the poor, THE MIDDLEMEN, it may be,
that the foregoing remarks will occasionally apply ; but on this Pro-
perty, situate its the very best and most civilized part of Ireland,
and within

40 MILES OF THE CAPITAL,
a refreshing contrast is presented here, the people are happy, and
a purchaser will delight to learn, there
IS NOT AN ARREAR OF RENT;
nor has there been, throughout the late times so unpropitious to
the agriculturist. With this candid explanation it is hardly possible
THE ENGLISH CAPITALIST
can doubt the propriety of embarking a portion of his wealth in so
safe an enterprise, the more especially as the rate of interest is
beyond that which can be safely obtained on the English side of the
channel : a great many other and importantadvantages might be enu-
merated ; a slight allusion to one or two will, it is confidently
believed, prove seductive to those who would invest in safety. The
greater portion of the Estate consists of
VERY RICH MEADOW AND PASTURE LAND,
of a quality that insures an immense return to the honest and in-
dustrious farmer, inasmuch :as, the best butter, and some of the
fattest oxen, may be traced to this property ; and being surrounded
by excellent roads and good markets; the produce is made available
at the highest prices ; besides which,
TWO EXTENSIVE RAILROADS,
which will pass near this Estate, are in contemplation, and, when
completed, will give a fresh impetus to industry, as the produce
will arrive in less than three hours at the
_ _

METROPOLITAN CITY.
THE GREAT CLOUGH COLLIERY
forms a boundary to the Timahoe Estate ; and it has been ascer-
tained that a great part of this property is under the Coal Field.
AND THE GRAND CANAL,
FROM DUBLIN TO CARLOW,
passes within a convenient distance.
Much more might be urged to enlist both the English and Irish
capitalist, without giving too high a colour to the representation.
This imperfect sketch will, however, terminate by a remark that
should be highly appreciated. If the purchaser be inclined to reside
on this highly favoured Estate, there are several most beautiful situa-
tions to build a suitable residence. The Plantations are numerous,
of a fine growth, and the situation most picturesque. In conclu-
sion, Alr. Robins would direct a purchaser's attention to the
SPLENDID SCENERY
_ . . .

for which this portion ofthe Kingdom is proverbial, and he invites
THE STRANGER
to seek occular demonstration, fully assured that he will admit the
correctness of the by-gone statement of this excellent investment.
There are no perpetual leases; NO MIDDLE MEN, NOR IS
THERE ONE PAUPER on the whole of this property. With
such a Landlord, the tenants have all been but too happy and well
content, without asking for a lease, and it is believed, if the custo-
mary mode were adopted of letting these Farms by competition
ONE THOUSAND A-YEAR
ADDITIONAL RENT
would be the result.

Printed Particulars are preparing, and Plans of the Ettate will be
ready for distribution some weeks antecedent to the Sale ; and then

RAMSGATE-THURSDAY.

(FROM OUR Ott:Zi OkPESTONDENT.)
At high-water yesterday at 12 A. M., ftii OA rose consider-
ably higher than has been known for many years; 01(110447
road under the West Cliff leading.to Sion-hill was inundatea,
and on the bathing sands several hundred loads of chalk
(lately deposited there to form an embankment) were washed
away. A large steam-vessel, the Hercules, from Dublin to
London, put in for shelter, the wind blowing hard at N. N. W.
She had on board when she left Dublin several passengers,
some soldiers of the 98th Foot, and about 800 hogs ; several
of these animals have died during the last two days, and were
thrown overboard previou's to her coming into this harbour.
From the rough weather the passengers seem also to be in a
lamentable condition. During the last night the wind con-
tinued to blow very hard, and having changed this morning to
N. E., at high water it blew a tremendous gale.
His Majesty's steam-packet the Arrow, from Dover to
Ostend, was not able to proceed on her voyage to the latter
port yesterday, on account of the weather ; she laid off this
place all night ; about ten this morning she perceived a boat
at a distance drifting ; she immediately made up to the boat,
and found in it nine men, almost exhausted from fatigue, hav-
ing been several hours at sea; they were the crew of the brig
Nancy, from South Shields, which got on shore on the
Kentish Knock this morning, which they were obliged to
abandon, and take to sea in their boat, when they were for-
tunately saved by the Arrow, and brought into this port.
The Brockelbank steam-packet, from London to Boulogne,
has also taken refuge here, and remains, together with the
Hercules and Arrow—the weather continuing too boisterous
for them to proceed to their places of destination. Several
other vessels have also put in for shelter, as there is every ap-
pearance of foul weather.
