A VERY PREPONDERATING SHARE

in this

" LITTLE MINE OF WEALTH."
and leas prz-s4ed over-1:$, deattuel for-many ycars, Nt length has
reached the

VENERABLE AGE OF EIGHTY-TWO,

a period of life, which is but rarely vouchsafed to mankind, and,
although in the enjoyment of excellent health, it may be conceded
to the honourable proprietor, that he should have a few years un-
alloyed from the daily pursuit of literature and profit. It belongs to
Win especially to have claimed, through good and bad report, the title
to consistency ; indeed lie has, without deviation, pursued the even
tenor of his course. This Journal has always resisted every insidious
offer to compromise its character. It has traversed its beaten path
or many long years amid great vicissitudes, but always cheered
by the knowledge that _ .

CHAftACTER AND CONSISTENCY TS THE MOTTO CLAIMED
ESPECIALLY BY THE " GLOBE." •

If it be asked what has been the result, it will cheer and gladder

he hearts of those who value the path that has risen this paper to

its just pitch of renown to know that it never was more in public
estimation than at the present moment. The next (and with a pur-
cha-er an importan quern) will suggest itself, how has its income
flu-tuated, and what is its present position ? Gladly does Mr. Robins
hasten to rejoin, that he is able to give the tidiest sati-faction on that
and indeed every other point. The statement of prod a 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 HIGII A VALUE AS AT
TILE PRES, NT MOMENT.

The annual receipts and profits will be given in detail In the printed Par.

tient ars of the sale, which will prove this most satisfactorily. A criterion
01 its increasing prosperity may be gathered from the fact, that, in
1844, the present Proprietor of so lai ge a stake purchased

THREE ADDITIONAL SHARES,

A commentary upon this would be superfluous. The paper, it is
known, is divided into

SIXTY-TWO SHARES.
THE VENERABLE VENDOR
AT THIS SALE POSSESSES AND WILL SELL
NINETEEN SHARES.
HOW Ils"-FLUENTI.U. AND HOW VALUABLE

must be the privileLe of one who could posst ss 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
Salo; then to be had at the Auction Mart, the office of the " Globe,"
and at Mr. Geone Robins's offices, London.
