TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION,
By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the Auction Mart, on THURSDAY, the 9th of Jane, at Twelve
o'Clock, by direction of the Executors, in one Lot, and unre-
servedly.
THE FARRINGDON ESTATE is all freehold,
and has long been familiar to the Public as the admired
Property of
JOHN BURRIDGE CHOLWICH, Esq.,
Who domiciliated in this favoured abode for a period extending to
more than 60 years ; one of the favourable conclusions which may
be elicited from this fact is the apparent certainty that Longevity
will be yielded as one amongst its many attributes, and to an East
Indian in doubtful health, it will indeed prove a God-send of infi-
nitely higher value than his wealth. It is situate within 6 miles of
THE CITY OF EXETER,
A little removed from the high mail road from London to Plymouth.
THE BISHOP'S COURT ESTATE
Is about 2 miles off, and
SIR THOMAS DYKE ACKLAND'S,
with the bold and splendid scenery of Killerton is in view, while the
fashionable watering-places, Sidmouth, Exmouth, and Dawlish, are
within an hour's drive.

THE MANSION-HOUSE
was originally constructed with the intention to accommodate most
fully a respectable family. It was erected at a time when outward
appearance succumbed to real comfort. It has subsequently moved
with the march of improvement, and a drawing, with the particulars
of sale, will demonstrate beyond doubt that, without pretending to
rival the seats of great eminence in the vicinity, it bath claims of
no ordinary character, and certainly more congenial to the intentions
of those who do not aspire to an expensive establishment. It is
seated:in its

PARK-LIKE GROUNDS,
and a full grown plantation and shrubbery walk environs the whole.
THE PLEASURE GROUNDS
are sufficiently extensive, and planned in good taste.
THE FRENCH GARDEN
approximates upon
THE CONSERVATORIES AND HOT AND SUCCESSION
HOUSES,
and the Ice House is not far off. The out-offices are Of the very
first description' and in excellent order. The Kitchen Gardens, en-
compassed by lofty brick walls, are clothed with the choicest fruits.
The Farm-yard is fully adequate, and judiciously placed.
THE DAIN EXTENDS TO
EIGHT HUNDRED and SIXTY ACRES of GOOD LAND,
EXONERATED FROM THE LAND TAX;
divided into snug little Farms, respectably occupied, and
THE RENTS PUNCTUALLY PAID.
The latter observation inclines Mr. Robins to suggest to TRUS-
TEES WHO HAVE MONEY TO INVEST IN LAND, that
the Farringdon Estate hath peculiar claims to their attention,
since the Rental is not supposititious. The scenery for which this
immediate spot is remarkable, has so long been appreciated, that it
can only be necessary to ask, " Where even in Devon's never ending
enchantment can it be surpassed?"
THE MANORIAL RIGHTS
are an appendage by no means valueless to these who enjoy the
sports of the field. Hunting and fishing are within reach, and the
FAMOUS EXETER MARKET
has not merely the peculiarity of serving the Mansion with every
thing that ingenuity and good taste can present, but it affords at the
same time a never-failing source to dispose of the produce of the
farms to great advantage. A SWISS COTTAGE cleverly planned
may be numbered amongst the agremens of Farringdon. The abode
is by no means out of order, but it is as well to observe that those
whose taste inclines them to the present, rather than the comfort
and snuggery of the olden times, may indulge in their propensity at
Farringdon.s
I can be viewed by particulars only, which will be accompanied
y a plan and drawing, to be had gratuitously at the office of Messrs.
Wood and Patch, Solicitors, Tiverton, and Mr. Wright, Land-agent
of the same place; Mr. James, Solicitor, Exeter; Messrs. Winburn
and Collett, Chancery-lane: also at the New London Hotel, Exeter ;
the Hotels Ply mouth and Devonport ; at the White Hart, and Bath
Journal Office, Bath; the Auction Mart, and at Mr. George Robins's
Offices, London.

IN THE KINGDOM OF MEXICO.
A LARGE TRACT OF VALUABLE LAND IN THE
PROVINCE OF TEXAS.
R. GEORGE ROBINS has received instrue-
tions to OFFER to SALE by AUCTION, at the Mart,
in London, on Tuesnar, the 14th of June, at Twelve o'Clock,
in a variety of Lots, TO SUIT MODERATE CAPITALISTS,
A considerable Tract of valuable FREEHOLD LAND, son-
sisting of 100,000 ACRES,
in the Province of Texas, being part of the grant made by the
Mexican Government to a Company, consisting of persons of the
first respectability in New York, entitled the
NEW ARKANSAS AND TEXAS LAND COMPANY.
The grant is situated within the lat:tudes of 32 and 36 degrees
North, and 102 and 105 degrees West longitude, with a climate
and soil equal in every respect to that of Spain, Portugal, and Italy,
and capable of producing Sugar, Coffee, Cocoa, Cotton, Tobacco,
Wine, Silk and all the Spices common to the West Indies ; Co-
chineel and Indigo, together with all the tropical fruits in general
estimation, such as Pine Apples, Grapes, Figs, Shaddocks, Oranges,
Melons, Olives and Almonds ; and on the higher lands every spe
cies of Fruit, Vegetable, and Grain known
IN NORTH AMERICA OR EUROPE.
The territory is intersected by numerous Navigable Rivers (upon
which Steattptioats are already running) which discharge them-
seives into the Gulph of Mexico, and that immense River the
Mississippi, with abundant Streams in every direction, affording
rower such as no other country in the world can boast of for Mill
atilt Manufacturing purposes.
A reference to the printed Particulars will convey, in a more
extended form, topographical particulars, and a variety of other
interesting information, that must prove of great utility. The
property will be divided into Lots of 4,017 6-7ths American, or
3,615 ENGLISH ACRES EACH,
and the Company's bonds will be given to each purchaser.
English Emigrants who have gone to New York to settle in the
States, Americans, and numberless German families from Hamburg
and Bremen, to the extent of

MANY THOUSAND FAMILIES,
have already located themselves on' the Company's lands, all of
whom are enriching themselves rapidly ; and it is now aptly de-
signated

THE LAND OF PROMISE.
As the object of the Company is to encourage industrious set-
tlers, an exceedingly ino&rate price will be reserved upon these
lands; small Capitalists, therefore, will find that for a very little
outlay, they may surround themselves with a tenantry, upon their
own Domain, that will raise themselves into an importance, which
neither this or any other spot in the world can present to them.
Steam Boats visit the different ports of the Texas from New Or-
leans, and Mobile (from which they are only distant a thirty hours'
sail), twice a week, and daily conveyances occur from New York
and Philadelphia, both by sea and rail road, to New Orleans; all
the high Lands of the Texas abound in Silver Ore, and it only re-
quires the country to be settled to discover mines fully equal in
value to those of

RIO DEL' MONTE,
which is in the neighbourhood.
...,-. _

ALL THE STREAMS ABOUND WITH GOLD,
which is now collected by the Indians, and bartered with Mexico,
and forms that great exportation that annually takes place from
that country to all parts of the world. Neither mines nor minerals
are reserved in the Grant to the Company, consequently there is
no reservation to the Colonists.
If amongst those inclined to be sceptical, it is suggested that
this fine territory may soon become tributary to and acknowledge
America as the Mother Country, it may be rejoined, that so far as
the interest of those who propose to emigrate is concerned, it
would be—

" A consummation devoutly to be wished ;"
and would quadruple the value of these purchases in one short
year.
In respect to the climate, it may be noticed that the springs and
summers are dry ; the winters mild, and frequently serene. Snow
is not seen twice in a century, and the duration of frost and cold
seldom exceeds a few hours.
Particulars, with Lithographic Plans, will be ready twenty-eight
(lays antecedent to the sale, and then had at the New York and
Mexican Coffee-houses ; at the Mart in the City ; at the Water-
loo Hotel, Liverpool; the Printer of the Manchester Times and
Advertiser at Nanc4ester and at Mr, QcorEe Robins's Ofkes,
London.
