The Auctioneer considers it hardly necessary to draw the atten-
tion of th.:: public to the importance of the several properties com-
prised in the above Lots. . _ _

The Ford Estate is peculiarly valuable. It is capable of great im-
provement, and from its situation in the immediate vicinity of a
large and manufacturing town, rapidly increasing in size and popu-
lation, with good roads on all sides, its elegibility for building pur-
poses of every description, with the present advantage of a commu-
nication with the River Wear, and the immediate prospect of a public
railway passing through the estate (the Act for which has already
been obtained), its value must daily increase.
The coal is now well ascertained, and from its contiguity to the
place of shipment and to the present and intended sinkings in the
neighbourhood, it must be very shortly worked, and, consequently
a purchaser may rely upon a large and speedy return for his capital.
The tenants of the Farms will show the estate, and the Mansion-
house may be viewed by leave of William Bell, Esq., by ticket, to
be obtained from Mr. J. S. Robinson, solicitor, Sunderland ; and the
Bottle-houses and property connected therewith may also be seen on
application at the office of the Sunderland Glass Company ; and plans
of the various properties, with further particulars, may be seen at
the offices of Messrs. Tilson and Co., 29, Celeman•street, London ;
or of Messrs. Ward and Story, solicitors, Durham ; or of the said J.
S. Robinson, from whom any further information may be obtained.

M. One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
Sitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
cosuprosing hurry; but the troth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justicedemand that health sheuldform an item
in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS `On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
attic publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
more ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
Sherwood, 23, Paternonter-row ; Carvallio, 147, Fleet•street ; Mann,
39, Cornhill ; Nalson, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other-
wise) from the author (who may be conferred with personally,
mornings and evenings), 10, Argyll-place Regent-street; and all
