SALES BY AUCTION.

TO EMIGRANTS AND SPECULATORS

IMPORTANT SALE of LANDS in TEXAS, under the DOMI-
NION of AMERICA, calculated for AGRICULTURAL • FUR-

POSES, and neat several thriving Towns.
24R. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to SUB-
MIT to PUBLIC SALE. at the Auction Bart, on Tnuns-
DAY, March 4, at Twelve, in various Lots,
SINGULARLY ATTRACTIVE ESTATES for the EMIGRANT
or SPECULATOR, comprising
10,643 ACRES of FREEHOLD LOCATED LANDS in TEXAS,
now under the Dominion, and in the Southern part of America, and new
denominated the Land of Promise. The limits of an advertisement
preclude the possibility of entering into general detail of the flourish-
ing condition of this country, its genial climate, snperic:ity of soil,
proximity to important water communication, all of which will be
fully described in the prospectus, with a description of each tract of
land, and the boundary as set forth in the title ; it will now be suffi-
cient to state that the Lands comprise
NINE ORIGIN AL TITLES, or SEPARATE ESTATES,
in the counties of Harris Liberty, Galveston, and Bexar, the smallest
Lot of which will be 320 Acres, and _ _

THE LARGEST 4,605 ACRES,
surrounded by thriving farms, and not far distant from the populous
towns of Houston, Harrisburg, Montgomery, Trinity, and St.
Antonio de Bexa,, all excellent markets, with important navigable
resources. Also

6,000 ACRES OF FREEHOLD LAND,
in eleven original unconditional certificates issued from the Govern-
ment, for 320 and 640 acres each, which give the right to the pur-
chaser to select the land at any period and in any part of the
dominion of Texas then not allocated, and without the payment of
taxes till the land is located. A mbre favourable opportunity for the
emigrant has never offered, the large sum now demanded for land in
America having turned the stream towards their new state of Texas,
where, in a very few years, the same large prices will be obtained,
and the located lands Included in this sale are all ready for the pur-
poses of agriculture.
Full prospectuses, affording much useful information, will be pub-
lished twenty-eight days prior to the sale, and may be had at the
Waterloo Hotel, Liverpool ; Royal Hotel, Manchester ; Albion Hotel,
Leeds ; White Lion, Bristol ; Norfolk Hotel, Norwich ; of Messrs.
Bush and Mullins, solicitors, St. Mildred's-court, Poultry ; at the

TO TUE LADIEs.
This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news-
aper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months,
nd the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than
ever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr.
purchase
an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and produotion of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact..-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few
drops oa the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
orevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
adour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
on the grown of the heal ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on ehildren's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See
pamphlet of testimonials.

Mr. John Rhodes (who is about to retire) to submit to public com-
petition, at Garraway's, on TUESDAY, February 16, at Twelve,
(unless an acceptable offer be in the mean time made by private
contract,) the valuable LEASE, at a low rent, of the far-famed

character which this establishment has for many years maintained,
both cn account of the magnitude and respectability of its trade,
renders it one of the first of its class in the metropolis, and must in-
evitably ensure to a purchaser an ample fortune in a few years.

IJARISS' PULMONIC ClGARETTES.—Phy-
sicians have long discovered that in diseases of the longs and
air passages, a remedy to be really efficacious must come in direct
contact with the diseased organ, and this cannot take place unless it
be administered under the form of vapour or smoke. The diseases
in which the Cigarettes have been found so beneficial are, difficulty
of breathing,i- tightness of the chest, spasmodic asthma, catarrhs,
hoarseness, " throats, aphony (loss of voice), ear-aches, rheuma-
tism of, the oth-ache, neuralgia, &c. In the first stage of
consurnptio beneficial effects are surprising, and in the ad-
vanced st relieve the cough, lessen the expectoration, check
the night p tion, and produce calm and refreshing sleep.

and in no one instance known to fall—are strongly recommended as
a far more efficacious remedy than Balsam Copaiba, Cubebs, or any
other medicine in present use. Many other medical gentlemen of
distinguished eminence in London have borne testimony to the effi-
