SALES BY AUCTION.

SALES OF LANDED PROPERTY, OF FREEHOLD AND
LEASEHOLD HOUSES, RENT-CHARGES, REVERSIONS
POLICIES, &c.

VI- R. EDMUND ROBINS (Successor to the
late Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, and whom he has assisted
many years in the conduct of his business) announces most
respectfully to the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public generally, that
the IcUSINESS WILL NOW BE CONTINUED BY HIM in the
department of SALES by AUCTION, or rRIVATE TREATY, of
LANDED PROPERTY, of FREEHOLD and LEASEHOLD
HOUSES, RENT-CHARGES, REVERSIONS, POLICIES, &c., as
well as SURVEYS and VALUATIONS; and he most respectfully
urges that the long experience he possesses, under the able conduct
of his lamented relative and predecessor, entitles him to solicit a
portion of that support so many years enjoyed by the old-established
concern in Covent-garden, whilst he ventures to assure his
patrons that a strict attention will not only be paid to the interests
of those who may entrust the disposal of their property to his con-
duct, but a scrupulous desire to render the charges for commission,
&c.. as moderate as he consistently can to accomplish that success
which it will ever be his primary object to achieve.

IN KENT.

ARISING FROM A MOIETY OF THE PARISH OF WESTER-
HAM, PRODUCING NEAR FOUR HUNDRED POUNDS

Ai secure as any other freehold property that eels be offered for sale ;

DIAMOND CARCEL LAMP ! NEW
LIGHT ! !—The Diamond Camel Light is the best Light in
the World. The Careel Lamp is used in all the Palaces in Europe.

burns from sunset till morning without attention. No cleaning
required for years. Is so simple, it cannot be mismanaged. It
never will be outdone. The Diamond Cared Lamp is perfection in
light. The public will have none ether. Designs the most chaste
and elaborate to suit every taste.—To be had only. and seen daily,

THE LIGHTS for FUTURE DAYS.
All can now be pleased, whatever is desired in Light. The
PEARL CJANDLE LAMP is the perfection of Candle Lights, and
must succeed ; its simplicity myriads will admire. To sell the ordi-
nary Candle Lamps is now impassible—the public have long enough
been pestered with such rubbish.

world. The Carcel Lamp is used in all the Palaces in Europe; this
is sufficient guarantee for all—it never will be out-done.
The STARLIGHT NIGHT LIGHT is a beautiful little light to
illumine the bedchamber. All other night lights will be used no

desired more than perfection? To what concluuion can we come?
Certain, heneeforward the only lights will be—the Sun, the mighty
gem of Heaven by day ; the Pearl and Diamond Lights at evening
and the Star at night, to illumine the British territory.
These splendid Lights burning continually at CLARK'S, the
immense LAMP DEPOT, 447, West strand, ten doors from Low-

A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.
MR. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet-
Street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP-
TION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or
ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will
never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any
teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction
of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve
teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and
mastication ; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within
reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest
scale possible. Decayed teetk rendered sound and useful in mastica-
tion.-52, Fleet-street. At Home from Ten till Five.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I'm going to MOSES and SON'S, you must know,
The mat whose address is appended below.

Are possess'd of not less than eight houses in one.
FOR WHAT ARE YOU GOING ?
I'm going to purchase a suit for the spring.

And a pair of new boots, in addition to that.
My hosiery, too, I am going to buy
Of MOSES and SON, upon whom I rely.
WHY ARE YOU GOING?
I'm going, because Messrs. MOSES excel,
And because they will use me remarkably well.
I'm going, because I prefer their vast mart
For goods that are useful, and goods that are smart.
I'm going, assured that their prices are such,
As enable the buyers to benefit much.
I'm going, because I am sure there are none,

AMERICAN NEWS.

FIFTEEN DAYS LATER.
ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA.

(PROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
LIVERPOOL, TUE,DAY.
The Cambria steam ship arrived here from Boston
and Halifax this morning. Her passage was somewhat
protracted in consequence of the state of the weather.
Her dates are—New York, Feb. 27 ; Washington, 26 ;
New Orleans, 19 ; Boston, March 1; and Halifax, March
3. The news is important.
The commercial news taken out by the Cambria had
at first the effect of depressing the grain market, but
prices had again began to rise before she sailed for
Europe. A great decline had taken place in the price
of cotton subsequent to the arrival of the Sarah Sands
and the Cambria. Freights continued to be enormously
high.

As the state of the markets is to the English reader a
matter of the greatest importance, we prefer giving them
the most prominent place in our present report. The
following is the
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. _

NEW YORK.—The markets continued steady for bread-
stuffs, with moderate transactions. There was some better
feeling in the flour market, and large sales of Genesee could
have been made without difficulty on the spot, at 7 dolls.
Sales deliverable In May, cogtine*to be-vne attsiolla. It
Osseo-reported on 'change thlsticeitis Tiiiirbeen made to
arrive at the probable stock of flour in this market, and
that it was thought that 120,000 barrels would cover all
in the city, including the stock in first hands, variously
estimated at 50,000 a 70,000 barrels, and the supplies held on
speculation with stocks in the hands of the milling and
retail trade. It must be borne in mind, however, that to
arrive at an exact estimate of the total amount of stock is
attended with much difficulty, and the above statement
may amount to something over the mark, or fall a little
short of it. Be this as it may, it is agreed upon all
hands, that the stock is very low compared with that of
last year at the same period, and should the river remain
closed till late in the season, this fact would of
itself be sufficient to stiffen prices. The stock in Phila-
delphia and Baltimore is said to be good; but the
freights on it from those ports to New York cost about
50 cents per barrel, or more from the latter. Until the
canals open, large additional supplies cannot be expected
to arrive to replace the deficiencies, at any material re-
duction in the present cost of transportation. In wheat,
sales were chiefly confined to lots from the country, ad-
jacent to the city, at full prices. In corn, there was
less done, without change in prices, except that the
article was feeble at a dollar. Provisions were in less re-
quest, and small sales of prime pork were made at a decline
of 50 cents per barrel since the forepart of the week. Mess
ditto was offered in a small way, at a reduction of 25 cents
per barrel, without buyers. This decline was attributed to
increased tightness of money in Wall-street. In beef, the
market was firm, while in lard and other descriptions of pro-
visions there was no change. Groceries continue steady at
previous rates.
PROVISIONS.—Under the reported influence of some in-
creased pressure in the money market, the prices of pork
gave way, and we report sales of 200 barrels of prime at
12 dolls. 50 cents ; and a small lot of mess was offered at 14
dolls. 75 cents, without finding a purchaser. Beef, we re-
port a sale of 100 barrels of country mess, at 12 dolls. Lard
continued steady at I 0 cents for old, and 11 cents for new,
but we heard of no sales. There was no change in cheese
or butter. No large sales of smoked or pickled meats were
reported.
RlCE.—High rates still acted as a check upon operations.
Last sales of good to prime were made at 4 dolls. 47i cents to
4 dolls. 75 cents. Fancy qualities were held at 5 dolls., with
small sales.
BowroN, Fin. 25, r sr.—Flour Good common brands
Genesee are held at 6 dolls 87 cents to 7 dolls per barrel,
and stock in first hands comparatively light ; the receipts per
railroad have materially fallen off since the late snow storm.
FaL.cy brands, there is a better supply. Corn—Very little
doing; yellow round at railroad was sold this morning at
1 doll ; ditto fiat is worth 94 cents to 95 cents per bushel,

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 18.—The old story of an express in

A New York paper of Feb. 27 thus sums up the political
Intelligence:—
From Mexico, we have to-day--or rather from a por-
tion of it, which is the actual seat of war—some inter-
esting intelligence, though not of any decisive impor-
tance. An outpost of American volunteer cavalry had
been surprised and captured in advance of Saltillo and an
officer of the regular army (Lieutenant Ritchie) with an
escort of ten dragoons, bearing dispatches from General Scott
at Brazos Santiago, to General Taylor, at Monterey, had been
cut off.
By arrivals at New Orleans, we have Tampico dates to the
Bth instant, Brazos to the 6th instant, Mantamoras to the sth,
tn Carargo and Vera Cruz
dates to the 2d instant, the city of
Mexico to the 29th ult.
A detachment, composed of 80 Kentucky and Arkansas
cavalry, was cut off when thirty miles beyond Saltillo, by
General Minon. They formed an outpost, and
were sur-
prised and taken prisoners without resistance.
Major Borland, C. M. Clay, and Major Gaines were cap-

tured.
A transport, also,
with a regiment of Mississippi volun-
and of Colonel De Rutsev, was wrecked
teers, under comm
-
off Tampico. the coast of Mexico, near p • The survivors of
the regiment—the greater part, as IS hoped—on reaching the
land, were soon attacked by a superior Mexican force; and
at the last accounts the result of the contest was unknown.
On hearing the particulars of the shipwreck, General Patter-
son, commanding at
Tampico, dispatched a brigade to ex-
tricate this regiment.
In the interior, a portion of General Kearney '3 command
probably the regiment of Missouri volunteers, has seized the
Passo del Norte after a a severe conflict—this opens to the
city of Chihuahua.
The dates from Vera Cruz are to the 2d instant, when all
efforts were making to be in condition to resist the appre-
hended attack. From San Luis de Potosi, the dates are to
the 25th instant, when Santa Anna was still there, and
Vera Cruz accounts of the 2d represent that he was
to march thence in a few days towards Tula. Disorgani-
zation and want pervade the Mexican forces. The law
exacting 15 millions from the property of the clergy was a
dead letter.
In Congress nothing is yet decided as to the three million
Bill, nor as to the Bill for increasing the revenue, and yet on
Wednesday next this body must adjourn by constitutional
limitation. There seems little probal,ility that any change
should he made in the tariff—although rumour states that
the administration party had held a caucus, at which it was
resolved to grant the duty asked by the Secretary of the
Tieasury on tea and coffee. We are still incredulous about
the possible success of that measure.
The rumoured assassination of Santa Anna turns out to be
unfounded. Last accounts state that he left for Tula, at the
head of the main body of forces.
General La Vega had been appointed to command Vera
Cruz.
The Congress of the State of Vera Cruz had called on
its people to resist at all hazards an invasion of the
Americans.
There are some further accounts of the capture of Chi-
huahua. The Mexicans admit that over one hundred of
their numbers Were killed. Another account mentions that
