The Auctioneer considers it hardly necessary to draw the atten-
tion of the 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 pas=ing 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 sera 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.

1 One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
Ausaprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
cud broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry shoul.l net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form 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.
tech (by Dost, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, sir prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy misinterpretatior, of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are nut intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
'or 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
ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
title publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
.void," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
damphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
lie, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
fervanee 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
01 the " sunny side of the way." The above works nay be had of
Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row ; Carvalho, 147, Fleet-street ; Mann,
Cornhill ; Nelson, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other-
wise) from the anther (who may be conferred with personally,

SUICIDE OF A GRADUATE OF CAMBRIDGE.—Yes-
terda Mr. Higgs, the coroner, held an inquest at the Three
ra- e-shoes, Milford-lane, Strand, on the body of Mr.
Adolphus Venner, aged 35, who committed self-destruction
on
Arodnesday last, under the following painful circum-
stances:—Deceased, whose parents were highly respectable,
and for many years resident in Cambridge, had distin ed
himself for ability at Jesus College, of which he was a
member. In the mathematics especially he was profoundly
versed. Relying upon his acquirements for a ltvelihood, he
took apartments at 25, Arundel-street, Strand, and set up as
a mathematical and classical professor, hoping that'e should
be able to obtain pupils. In this, however, he was utterly
unsuccessful ; and though a person of most regular and mo-
derate habits, he found himself unable to maintain his POI&
i
tion in society. After labouring with
ndomitable energy
for a considerable period, he at length became despondent,
and ultimately terminated his existence by hanging himself
from the bed-post, by means of a silk pocket-handkerchief.
Verdict, " Temportry insanity..
MINISTERIAL VISIT TO IRELAND.—Lord J. Rua.
sell will start for Dublin in a day or two. He goes, not to
supersede, nor to control, nor to direct Lord Clarendon. The
man whose sagacity, courage, and self-reliance, have saved
Ireland from the horrors of anarchy and the carnage of re-
.bellion required no coadjutor and no adviser. His own in-
telligence had dictated the means, his own intrepidity had
dared the consequences, of suppressing a revolution which
might have shaken England to her centre, and perpetuated
the disorganization of the empire. But Lord J. Russell goes
himself to observe the state of that distracted island, to see
its real grievances, to examine their causes, and to confer
upon their remedies.—Times.
DEATH OF LIEUT.-GENERAL SIR DAVID XI-
MENES, K.C.H.—We have to record the death of Lieut.-
General Sir i David Ximenes, whose dissolution took place on
Saturday, at his residence, near Maidenhead, Berks. The
gallant deceased, who was in his 71st year of his age, was
youngest son • of Mr. David Ximenes, who was descended
from Jean Ximenes, brother of Cardinal Ximenes, Regent of
Spain. He married, 1816, . Miss Evans, eldest daughter of
Admiral Evans. In 1794 he entered the army, and was for
nearly 38 years employed on foreign service, having served
' in Sicily, Egypt, twice in North America, Bermuda, and
subsequently in Ceylon and the East Indies.
