TILE SALE OF THE GLOBE NEWSPAPER.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS feels very great
pleasure in intimating to the public that he has been selected
by the worthy proprietor to SELL, by PUBLIC AUCTION, on
THURSDAY, the 9th of July, at Twelve o'clock, at the Auction Mart,
London, _ _

A considerable portion of
THE "GLOBE" JOURNAL,

a paper of which it is not a little difficult to do justice in the common
language of praise. First, it may be well to state the reason why a paper
so deservedly high in the public estimation (and never at any period
in a prouder position than at this juncture) should be in the market.
It is not a little refreshing to Mr. Robins to be called upon for this
explanation.-

(and with a pur-
chaser an importer,* query) will suggest itself, how has it's income
fluctuated, and what Is its present position ? Gladly does Mr. Robins
hasten to rejoin, that he is able to give the fullest satisfaction on that
and indeed every other point. The statement of profits during the
last ten years is before the writer of this announcement, from which
he collects the fact, that the Shares
HAVE NEVER ARRIVED AT SO nroti A VALUE AS AT
TIIE PRESENT MOMENT.
The annual receipts and profits Will be given in detailln the printed Par-
ticulars of the Sale, which will prove this most satisfactorily. A criterion
of its value may be gathered from the fact, that in 184.1, when the
dividends were at the lowest, the present Proprietor purchased
THREE SIXTY-SECOND SHARES FOR 2,3101.
A commentary upon this would be superfluous. The paper, it Is
known, is divided into • 1
SIXTY-TWO SHARES.

AT THIS SALE POSSESSES AND WILL SELL

must be the privuege of one who could possess himself of the whole
of these shares, who, following closely in the track of his prede-
cessor, may continue to enjoy such an income as is not derivable
from many London journals. Much more might and ought to be re-
ported in favour of this
FONDLING OF THE PRESS."

The printed Particulars will supply a little of the deficiency, the
rest will form a short exordium on the memorable day when this
portion of the

" GLOBE" CHANGES HANDS.

The Particulars will be ready twenty-one days prior to the
Sale ; then to be had at the Auction Mart, the office of the " Globe,"
and at Mr. George Robins's offices, London.
