SALES BY AUCTION.

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, In iota of one 62d share each,
A considerable portion of •

THE "GLOBE" JOURNAL,
a paper of which it is no, a little difficult to do justice in the common
language of praise. First, it may be well to state thereason 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. -
THE Pi,INCIPAL PROPRIETOR, WHO IT IS KNOWN /1151
A VERY PRIF,PON HERA TING SHARE
,tr-'''"140111W,

" LIrTLE MINE OF WEALTH,"
and has presided over its destines fur many years, at length bas
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
him especially to have claimed, through good and bad report, the title'
to consistency; indeed he 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

CHARACTER AND CONSISTENCY IS THE MOTTO CLAIMED

ESPECIALLY BY THE " GLOBE."

If it be asked what has been the result, it will cheer and gladden
the 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
estl ..ation than at the present moment. The next (and with a pur-
cha‘er an importan query) 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 fullest sati-faction on that
and indeed every other point. The statement of 'prod s during the

last ten years :; before the writer of this announcement, from which
he collects the fact, that the Shares
HAVE NEVER ARRIVED AT SO HIGH A VALUE AS AT
THE PRESF NT MOMENT.
The annual receipts and profits will be given in detail in the printed Par-
ticulars of th e Sale, which will prove this most satisfactorily. A criterion
of its increasing prospeetty may be gathered from the fact, that, in
1844, the present Propriffor of so large 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 INFLUENTIAL AND HOW VALUABLE

must be the eof one who could poss.•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. Diuch more might and ought to be re-
ported in favour of this
" FONDLING OF TAR 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

" GLOB E " 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 111 r. Ceane Robins's offices, London.
