SALES BY AUCTION.

THE GLOBE NEWSPArER.
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
Tinntsner Next, the 16th of July, at Twelve o'clock, at the Auction
Mart, London,.in lots of pne share each,
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 por•
tion of 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 PAINCIPAL PROPRIETOR, WHO IT IS KNOWN HAS
A VERY PREPONDERATING SHARE
in this

" LITTLE MINE OF WEALTH,"
and has presided over its destinies for many years, at 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 uu•
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 ; ituleed 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
for 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
estimation than at the present moment. The next (and with a pur-
chaser an importan' query) will suggest itself, how has its Income
*fluctuated; and what is ifs present position ? Gladly does Mr. Robins
hasten to rejoin, that he is able to give the fullest satisfaction on that
and indeed every othar point. The statement of profits during the
last ten years Is befare the writer of this announcement, from which
he collects the fact, that the Shares
HAVE NEVER ARRIVED AT SO mall A VALUE AS AT
' THE PRESENT MOMENT.

The annual receipts and profits will be given in detail In the printed Par-
' ticulars of the Sale, which will prove this most satisfactorily. The
paper, it is known, is div'ded into

SIXTY-TWO SHARES.
THE VENERABLE-- VENDOR -- ---- --
AT THIS SALE POISESSES AND WILL SELL
NINETEEN SHARES.
"HOW INFLUENTIAL AND HOW VALUABLE"
must be the privilece of one who could possess himself of the whole
of these shares, and 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 any deficiency, the rest will
form a short exordium on the memorable day when this portion
of the

"GLOBE" CHANGES HANDS.
The Particulars may be had at the Auction Mart, the office of the
Globe," and at Mr. George Robins's offices, London.

DRAYTON,GRANGE, near DAVENTRY, in NORTHAMPTON-
SHIRE, and 340 A, ;RES of CAPITAL LAND, TITHE FREE,
and LAND-TAX NEARLY ALL REDEEMED, with a FAMOUS
TENANT, the WEEDON STATION hard by, and lots of Sport-
ing Auxiliaries.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to
SELL by PUBLIC AUCTION at the Mart, London, on
THURSDAY, the 6th of Att,ust, at Twelve, in One Lot, by direction of
the devisees in trust of William Head, deceased.

AN EXCEEDINGLY FAVOURABLE FREEHOLD
INVESTMENT ;

indeed, as it respects both the laud and the tenant, it recalls to
Mr. Robins' recollection
THE RECENT WARWICKSHIRE SALE
_ _

and its result, since few farms can compete with the one now
under consideration. It consists of a superior residence, altogether
adapted to
A SPORTING GENTLEMAN'S OCCUPATION,
(and in a sporting country be it remembered), with Garden, offices
well arranged, and surrounded by PARKLIKE GROUNDS, PLAN-
TATIONS, LAWN, and SHRUBBERIES; also
A SUPERIOR FREEHOLD FARM,
EXTENDING TO 340 ACRES, _ _

of a first•rate soil.—lt i;:Without any mistake, a really good Turnip
Farm, with the greater proportion adapted to fatten cattle, indeed
the Estate may be, denominated altogether one of the best farms to
be found throughout this desirable County ; it is
TITRE FREE, AND LAND-TAX REDEEMED,
except a very small portion. The Buildings are all suitable, and the
Estate is

THISTLE-GROVE, OLD ItROMPTON.
A COTTAGE VILLA, QUITE UNIQUE, on a MODERATE
SCALE, ENVIRONED by its DELIGHTFUL GROUNDS. DIS-
POiED in UNUSUALLY GOOD TASTE, and the VILLA so
CHASTE as to be WELL WORTHY of INU CATION.
R. GEORGE ROBINS is deputed by the
1-11 respectable proprietor to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETI-
TION, at the Auction Mart, on THURSDAY, the 30th of July, at
Twelve o'clock, a
SINGULARLY ELEGANT MODERN VILLA,

upon a scale not too large.
IT IS A BIJOU OF THE FIRST WATER,
and will not be appreciated save only by a personal review of it,
when it will be confessed it stands alone for the inanity of charms
which surround it. Thistle-grove is at Old Brompton, with ready
access to Kensington-gardens and Hyde-park, and the de-
lightful abode is paced in a little sequestered spot, just remove,' from
the noise and bustle of the public road. It partakes of the quietude
and repose so essential to good taste and a country life, with a prox-
imity to the metropolis of little more than a short mile. The Villa
displays a proud Gistinction over all its neighbouring rivals. It is a
solid piece of architecture, based on the Corinthian order, adorned
by a conservatory in capital taste, with painted glass. And within
THIS LITTLE ELYSIUM
comfort is conspicuous in every department, and finished with a
degree of taste that wi'l amply repay a ride from the metropolis.
The tact that prevails is of a peculiar cast; it disdains the prevailing
order, and takes the lead without any fear from a contemporary ;
indeed, ingenuity may be taxed, for it would be puzzled, to discover
a single want, and Mr. Robins invokes all those who would
POSSESS AN INCOMPARABLE GEM
to seek ocular demonstration, and thus confirm this moderate report. It
stands within an acre (or perhapS less) of ground, laid out in such
good taste, that Repton would have gladly hailed it as his own off-
spring, and the ingenuity of separating the kitchen garden from the
extended and beautiful lawn is a master-piece of of ingenuity. At
the extreme end is
A BEAUTIFUL HOT-HOUSE,
heated by warm water, and finished in a superior manner. There is
close by, but entirely unseen, a two stall stable, two coach houses,
and harness-room, a loose box, with coachman's rooms, and hay
depository above. In respect to the Villa, without fatiguing the
reader with 'a lengthened 'detail,' it' mar suffice to state there are
four superior Company (they might be called State) Rooms ; the de-
coration throughout is worthy of Mr. •Fairs ; indeed it cannot be
excelled. The doors of the Drawing-room are distinguished by plate
glass and the windows with stained glass. These apartments are so
perfect that really Elysium is brought to recollection. There are
five bed-chambers and dressing-rooms, with a comodite, well
placed ;

A CAPITAL BATH-ROOM,
wall constructed ; and there are two bed-rooms for the females, and,
over the coach-houses two for the males. On the basement is a su-
perior kitchen, with larder butler's pantry, and every essential
appendage to comfort : and be it known, every place is not only in
the best keeping, but also in the best possible order. There can be
no need to unloose the purse-strings, for ingenuity cannot find occa-
sion for the slightest outlay. The entree is well managed, from
ground not otherwise required. Indeed, after taking much pains to
discover room for improvement, Mr. Robins had the satisfaction to
find his Ingenuity could not accomplish it.
THE WHOLE IS FREEHOLD,

so that a purchaser has the pleasing knowledge 'that his comforts
may descend to his latest posterity, without the alloy of fresh and
expensive renewals.
The t,ste and style of the 'villa and its appendages throughout
will incline a purchaser to avail himself of the power to take it all
as it stands, at a valuation, but this is quite optional. The fixtures
and planned furniture alone is imperative. It can of course only be
seen with ticket, and during the hours from twelve to four.

On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS,
(An Essay tor 1846.)
"Of human ills and frailties 1 discourse,
Those taught by nature, and by art acqulr'd.
Of griefs conceal'd, and disappointments keen,
Which young and gentle, the matured and sage,
The lonely and the mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n,
How health, how hope, how happiness to gain."

WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID;
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil feelings, a
good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob-
servance of the instructions -herein containe: .the feeble, the ner-
vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire
the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the,
full period of life allotted to man.
" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health full threescore veers and ten."
These interesting little volumes, although hearing upon subjects of
very delicate Import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea-
surable and general utility, for they, tell of matters every living crea-
ture able to understani ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of
nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not
contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician
any more than their own lawyer,. but it is insisted upon that we
should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their,several healthy
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual
capacities In the family circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and future race.of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted,
health will be found to be. In our own keeping, and happiness
within the attainment. of all; by .the avallment hereof in fulfilling
our duty to ourselves, we secure the lit e advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation pf our faculties, which is in-
consistent with degenerate health, the.mind as .well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as. best becomes the highest
of God's creations. .
The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ-
ings, anfithe avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured
by. their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the
topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

It is also hereby not/4dd that her Majesty's Principal

" JNO. S. SAUNDERS, Commander."
At the Court at Buckingham Palace, the Bth day of
July, 1846—present, the Queen's most excellent
Majesty in Council—this day the Right Honour-
able Frederick Earl Spencer, the Right Honourable
Edward George Fitzalan Howard (commonly called Lord
Edward George Fitzalan Howard), and the Right Hon.
Thomas Milner Gibson were, by command of her Ma-
jesty, sworn of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy
Council, and took their respective places at the Boaad
accordingly.
Her Majesty in Council was this day pleased to ap-
point the Right Hon. Thomas Milner Gibson, President
of the Committee of Council appointed for the consider-
ation of all matters relating to trade and foreign planta-
tions, in the absence of the President of the said Com-
mittee for the time being.
BY THE QUEEN.— A PROCLAMATION.
VICTORIA, R.—Whereas by our Order in Council of
the nineteenth of May, in the present year of our Lord,
one thousand eight hundred and forty-six, and in
the ninth year of our reign, we were graci-
ously pleased, for the reasons therein contained,
to annul the royal proclamation of His late
Majesty King William the Fourth, of the third
day of February, one thousand eight hundred and
thirty-six, directing that distribution should be
made of the net proceeds of prizes captured
from the enemy, of captures and seizures, under
the several Acts passed relating to the revenues
of Customs, and to trade and navigation, for the
abolition of the slave trade, and for the capture and
destruction of piratical vessels, and of the rewards
conferred for the same, as well as o f awards and
allowances of salvage granted to the officers and
men of ships and vessels of war, when not other-
wise specially apportioned by the terms of the respective
awards and allowances: and whereas in the recital of the
slid Order in Council in our royal proclamation, dated
the said nineteenth day of May, one thousand eight hun-
dred and forty-six, the following words, that is to say, " as
well as of awards and allowances of salvage granted to the
officers and men of ships and vessels of war, when
not otherwise specially apportioned by the terms
of the respective awards and allowances," were by
mistake omitted, and it is expedient that such mis-
take should be corrected : now, therefore, we do
make known to all our loving subjects, and all
others whom it may concern, by this our royal procla•
mation, by and with the advice and consent of our Privy
Council, that our said proclamation of the said 19th day
of May, 1846, shall have the same force and effect, to all
intents and purposes, as if the said words so omitted by
mistake had been inserted therein.
Given at our Court at Buckingham Palace, this
sixth day of July, in the year of our Lord, one
thousand eight hundred and forty-six, and in the
tenth year of our reign.
