SALES BY AUCTION.

ALDERTON, SUFFOLK. eight miles from the capital Market-town
and Port of Woodbridge.—Valuable Estates, comprising 850 acres
of Land.

MR. W. W. SIMPSON begs to inform the public
that the above-mentioned property, which was offered for
Sale by Auction en the 22d of September, and bought in, has been
sulmequently disposed of by private contract to Andrew Arce-
deckne, Esq.

CULTIVATE, CULTIVATE, versus AGITATE, AGITATE.
MR. W. W. SIMPSON invites the attention of
Capitalists to the statements contained in the following
Advertisements, which relate to the past, present, and future perma-
nency of Rentals as well as the value of Land, confirming, as they do,
the predictions which he ventured to make last April, in a speech at
Norwich, in which he observed, that " although he had been a
thorough-going Protectionist, he was proud to say, that sliding and
all other scales had fallen from his eyes ;—that it was his firm and
honest conviction, that Rents which had been set on fair and liberal
principles within the last seven years would be permanent ; that the
year's purchase on such Rentals had risen within the last six months,
and in ail probability would continue to rise ; that the increase of
population, viz., 1,000 per day, would form a counterpoise for any
importation, present or prospective, ensuring in ordinary seasons not
excessive, but steady and remunerating prices for the cultivator, as
well as ample revenue to the landed proprietor, and the assumed ad-
dition of fifty millions annually to the wealth of the country, would
contribute to a higher year's purchase on estates. This and the high
price of the funds has, and no doubt will stimulate a desire of invest-
ing in land, the only property, indeed, which can be considered es-
sentially permanent under adverse circumstances, produced by poli-
tical event,. Instead, therefore, of the motto `agitate, agitate,' it will_
be better policy to substitute that of ' cultivate, cultivate,' and let
landlords assist improving tenants by making advances (in the nature
of improvements in drainage, Sec.) of the additional capital which may
be required, charging for the same at the rate of five per cent,
on that expenditure, which shall be judiciously laid out. Hence,
the tenant farmer will reap a benefit in many instances of 25 per
cent., and a permanent improvement in rental, quasi landlord,
will supervene. Mr. Simpson further observed, that In adopting
free trade measures, Sir Robert Peel had proved himself to be one
of the most talented, far-sighted. and fearlessly honest Ministers
that had ever lived in the tide of time." The present aspect of the
United Kingdom, occasioned by a general scarcity of food throughout
Europe, fully justifies the opinion here expressed of the eminent talents
and courage displayed by Sir Robert Peel. it ie stated by the most com-
petent judges that if his wise measures of free trade had not been
carried out, the prices of Corn and produce would have risen to a
famine height. Mr. Simpsen has also been assured by the most re-
spectable salesmen in Smithfield Market, that if it had not been ,or
the alterationlof the Tariff, the price of meat would long since have
risen to one shilling per pound, and even now the general impression
is, that before next harvest the prices of provisions will reach a
height beyond what would be conducive to the general prosperity of
the country. Mr. Simpson, in conclusion, cannot refrain from al-
luding to the opinion of that eminent man, the Este S.r Charles We-
therell, on the subject. A high Tory and firm Protectionist, the
fears he entertained as to the probable results of the Repeal of the
Corn Laws induced him to determine on selling his landed property,
but his better judgment prevailed, and be not only retained pos-
session of it, but was in the course of making further investments
when he met his lamentable fate. " THE PROTECTIONISTS—
WHERE ARE THEY? WHERE ARE NOW YOUR PROPHETS
WHICH PROPHESIED UNTO YOU ?"

barley, oat, and bean land. Mr. Creasy is a considerable landed pro-
prietor, and would no doubt take an extension of his lease at the pre-

BREWERY.

MR. W. W. SIMPSON has received instruc-
tions to DISPOSE OF a desirable BREWERY concern in
London, doing a trade of 6,000 barrels annually. The brewhouse
premises are well arranged and convenient for trade, which is now
being carried on to great advantage.
Further particulars may be obtained on application to Mr. W. W.
Simpson, Agent for the Valuation and Transfer of Breweries, Dis-
tilleries, Mills, and Factories generally, 18, Bucklerabury.

.34 R. W. W. SIMPSON, in the early part of the
1 year, for obvious reasons, recommended the proprietors of
Irish estates, who honoured him with their confidence, to post-
pone the sales which were then advertised to be sold by auction.
Since that period, in consequence of the potato failure, the Govern-
ment has resorted to firm and energetic measures to facilitate the
employment of the labouring poor of distressed districts in Ireland,
ai,d to put in train such comprehensive and ameliorating plans as,
under proper direction, must tend to order, industry, and the in-
creased prosperity of the country. These measures have already
brought about a good result, in the creation of renewed confidence
in the future stability of landed property in Ireland, and applications
have been made by English and Irish capitalists for particulars of
estates. An offer, already received by Mr. Simpson, for the
estate (now advertised) in the county of Donegal (consisting of
4,100 acres), of within a small sum of the amount which would be
accepted, is corroborative testimony. These observations apply
also to mortgages. Mr. Simpson opines that the all-wise and Omni-
potent Disposer of human events has visited that country with the
potato scourge for the purpose of stimulating the Government and
landed proprietary to form plans and make such advances of money
as will immediately tend to production and reproduction, and thus at
once improve the condition of millions of the Irish poor peasantry
and tenantry generally, by furnishing that " seed to the sower"
which will give " bread to the eater," thereby superseding the culti-
vation, and feeding solely on a vegetable yielding twenty-five per
cent. only of food nutritous to the human frame —they will thus be
enabled to grew and consume white straw crops In all their variety
—produce which, under a fair course of husbandry, does not, like the
potato, exhaust the natural power of the land : at the same time the
feeding and foddering the straw of their crops will give en incalcu-
lable quantity of manure, whereas the potato plant will afford com-
paratively none.

Mr. Simpson, while drawing the attention of capitalists to the
above valuable estates, wishes to state that a second edition of
his pamphlet has been published, on which the "Times" news-
paper made the following review .—" Mr. W. W. Simpson, the
well-known and deservedly respected auctioneer and land valuator,
has recently published a pamphlet, entitled A Defence of the Land-
lords of Ireland, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord
and Tenant,' the' Dublin Evening Packet,' in reviewing this work,
gives the following character of its author:—' Mr. Simpson, we
scarcely need remind our readers, is an Englishman, of vast ex-
perience in matters relating to the improvement and value of land
in his own country. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most com-
prehensive views, and possesses rn understanding naturally strong,
and a stock of practical knowlege and sterling sense which falls to
the lot of very few persons in his own or any other rank of life.
With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business,
almost as a matter of necessity, to be made thoroughly ac-
quainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed as much,
perhaps, as any man in his time to improve her resources, by en-
couraging the investment of British capital in every department of
Irish industry. Such a witness as this we therefore bold to be
beyond the reach of suspicion, on the score either of interest or
partiality. His testimony must be regarded as invaluable, as it is
unquestionably unimpeachable.'

IRELAND—IN THE COUNTY OF KERRY. Extensive and improvable Estates, containing in the whole neatly

MR. W. W. SIMPSON has received directions

TITION, in Lots,
Valuable FEE-SIMPLE ESTATES (except a small portion
held on lives renewable for ever), situate in the baronies of Corka.

the principal town in the county, and where the assizes are held,
eight miles from Castlemain, and twelve from the market and post
town of Dingle, comprising numerous town lands, the whole con-
taining 11,764 statute acres. The arable and pasture land is
principally of a deep clay soil on a limestone substratum, and con.
sists of nearly 5,500 acres, producing most luxuriant crops of
wheat, oats, and potatoes. The remainder of the estates consists
of bog and mountain, abounding with game, a great part of which
forms the famous hunting ground of Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P.,
in the vicinity of Darrynane Abbey. The scenery from the hill is
grand and imposing. The lands are supplied with the richest
manures, namely, muscle fish and sea sand, the former being so
plentiful on the coast that the country is manured with it for
miles round. The mountain portions of the property excel for
the grazing of sheep and young cattle, and might, at a moderate
expense, be converted into excellent sheep walks. The farm.

SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT.--On Friday
afternoon a female servant in the employ of Mr. Terry a
linen-draper in Chiswell-street, was carrying a pie-dish
in the street, when by some accident she tripped and
fell, and her throat was cut by the sharp edges of the
broken dish. Dr. Jeffs, of Finsbury-square, who hap-
pened to be near at the moment, rendered every assist-
ance, which proved unavailing, the carrotid artery and
jugular vein had been completely severed, and the poor
woman expired in a few moments.

EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION.
On Sunday morning the densely populated neighbour-
hood of Little Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, was
visited by the outbreak of one of the most alarming fires
that has occurred in the metropolis for some time, and
which was not extinguished until an enormous amount
of property had been destroyed. The scene of its ope-
rations was the extensive manufactory belonging to
Messrs. Witham and Co., wholesale coach and shoe
curriers, situate in Little Queen street, and No. 30,
Parker-street. The building in question was three
stories high, and was so constructed as to form a sort of
half square. The premises were surrounded by nu-
merous large workshops ; on one side by the manufactory
belonging to Mr. Bealby, the builder ; on the other by
Messrs. Shank's carriage works ; and Trinity Church
was within a few feet of the property. By inquiries
made during the burning of the fire the following par-
ticulars were obtained : At 25 minutes past five o'clock
pclice-constable 61 F, whilst passing the Crown and
Cushion, it. Parker-street, had his attention arrested by
experiencing a strong smell of something burning. ; He
immediately aroused the inmates, and told them that he
feared the house was on fire. As soon as the house
eould be opened he entered, and upon going into the
yard he discovered smoke issuing from that portion
of Messrs. Witham's premises over the stable. Having
sprung his rattle he soon obtained additional assist•
ante, and intelligence was immediately dispatched to
the engine stations. It soon became apparent that the
fire must have been burning for some time before the dis-
covery was made, for it had obtained such a strong hold
that in• less than five minutes subsequently the flames
broke through the roof, and rose several yardaabove 'the
steeple of the church. In a space of time almost incre-
dibly brief the engine of the brigade from High Holborn,
and one,from the parish, reached the scene ; but upon
opening the gates of the factory in Parker-street a scene
truly alarming presented itself, the greater portion of the
three upper floors- was completely encircled in flames,
and the fire was to be seen running along the timber
fronts, almost with the swiftness of lightning, and for
some time it was feared that every building in the viciniy
would have been destroyed. The County and West of
England engines, with about seven or eight belonging to
the London establishment, arrived one after the other in
rapid succession. The moment water was obtained the
whole of the engin( s set to work ; those of the brigade
under Mr. Braid wood's superintendence, and those of the
%Vest of England and County Companies under the
direction of Mr. Connertoa and Mr. Garwood. The
firemen, perceiving the greatdanger to which the property
adjoining was exposed, had a number of the branches be-
longing to their engines directed in such quarters as to
arrest the further progress of the flames. This was s
work of no little difficulty, for, in accomplishing their
object, they were forced to withstand the great heat
of the flames, and several times the burning raft"rs and
molten lead from the gutters fell upon them. Although
every man laboured to the utmost, the fire was not cote
pletely extinguished until nearly 9 o'clock, and not until
property valued at some thousand pounds were burnt.
Mr. Baddelly, the inspector of the Royal Society for the
Protection of Life from Fire, was at the spot with three
of the society's escapes to render assistance to the neigh
bours in case of an accident, but fortunately the machines
were not required to be used. As to the origin of the
fire not the least tidings could be learned; when the
factory was closed the previous night everything ap-
peared perfectly safe.
The following is a copy of Mr. Braidwood's official
report of the damage done:—" Little Queen-street, and
30, Parker-street, Messrs. Witham and Co., the whole
of the three upper floors and stock therein burned. Tht
contents in the ground floor severely damaged. Sup-
posed to be insured in the Royal Exchange and other
offices.-31, Parker-street, Mr. B. Jones, the Crown and

yard. Insured in the Hand-in-Hand office."

SHOOTING ON THE EASTERN
COUNTIES RAILWAY.
On Saturday at the Ilford petty sessions, Mr. Fre-
derick Fenner, a gentleman residing at Ilford, appeared
to an information' which charged him with being on a
piece of land in the possession of the Eastern Counties
Railway, on the 23d of October, in search of game, by
which he was liable to a penalty not exceeding 21. The
defendant pleaded not guilty.
Mr. John Shafton Thompson, a gentleman also resid-
ing at Ilford, stated that on the 23d ultimo he was in
a field belonging to himself near the Eastern Counties
Railway, when he heard the report of a gun, and then
saw Mr. Fenner, on the top of the embankment, fire a
second time, and saw a hare run across the railway.
Mr. Fenner—Away, away, you scoundrel.
The CHAIRMAN—ReaIIy, Mr. Fenner, that is very
unbecoming.
Mr. Fenner—lt is, bat I have had my feelings ont
raged by being dragged here upon §uch a charge—l, an
honest man, by such a scoundrel.
The CHAIRMAN-We cannot permit you to proceed
in that way. What answer have you?
Mr. Fenner—l have two answers. The first is, that
I have the license of the occupier of the land; and the
second is, that Mr. Thompson has no right to
prosecute this against me. I stand here for truth and
justice.

CHAIRMAN.—We'II have truth first, and justice after.
A long and desultory conversation here took place.
and the clause of the Act, 3d Wm. IV., cap. 30, was
read with reference to the mode of proceeding under
such Act, upon the conclusion of which Mr. Fenner
called George Smith, a shoemaker residing in the
Green-lanes, Dagenham, who stated that he had rented
a piece of waste land in the parish of Ilford for the lost
five years of the railway company for which he paid
them 50s. a year. There is no reservation to the com-
pany of the game that may come upon it. He gave Mr.
Fenner permission to shoot upon it.
Mr. Thompson said it was very strange; he had re-
ceived a letter from Mr. Roney, secretarf to the com-
pany, in which that gentleman stated " that Mr.
Frederick.Fenner, nor any other person, was entitled to
shoot on the slips, or any other ground belonging to the
Eastern Counties Company.
The magistrates dismissed the information. Mr.
Fenner, who was greatly excited, expressed his intention
of indicting Mr. Thompson and the person who laid
the information for a conspiracy.

DUTCH MAIL.
THE HAGUE, Nov. 4.—His Royal Highness the
Prince of Orange returned from Stutgard the day he-
fore yesterday. ,

•
In the sitting of the States-General to-day the pro-
ject of law for regulating the disposal of the supplies of
the colonial revenue was passed, after a long debate, by
a majority of 27 to 13.
THE HAGUE, Nov. 6.—The Minister of the Colonies
hereby give notice that the Governor-General of India,
by authority of his Majesty the King, has directed the
tariff of import duties on ready-made clothes, of woollen,
or cotton,l_in Java, Madeira, and the west coast of
Sumatra, to be modified as follows :
" The duty on these articles is augmented by 30 per
cent. on the value. The duty is now 20 florins.
" When imported in ships of the Netherlands, with
certificates of origin in the Netherlands, end likewLe of
their being manufactured in that kingdom, the duty
is ten florins when imported in Netherland ships ; but
without certificates of origin, as respects the raw
material, the duty is twelve florins.
" And that the said Governor- General isauthorised to
declare this modification applicable to all such articles of
clothing exported from this country since the 15th of
October this year.—J. C. BAND.—The Hague, Novem-
ber,-1846."

In the debate on the application of the surplus of the
colonial revenue, several members spoke on the subject
of the isle of Borneo. His Excellency the Colonial
Minister said, that he had listened with satisfaction to
the energetic language occasioned by the-Jeer of seeing
a dispute of our territorial possession in the Indian
Archipelago.
The Minister said that the exchange of diplemaric
notes between the Cabinets of the Hague and of Lon-
don was not yet terminated, and that it would be con-
trary to Parliamentary usage to speak explicitly on
that subject. His Excellency added that he must
avoid giving an erroneous interpretation to the
treaty of 1824.• Every negotiation between two
states of • unequal force offers particular difficulties,
which are increased when the weakest endeavours to
enforce inadmissible pretension. The treaty of 1824
owes its origin to the difficulties which formerly arose
bet Ween the agents of the two nations. The simul-
taneous possession in Sumatra had caused collisions
which might have had serious consequences. The only
means to prevent them was to 'put an end to all posses-
sion in common. England, therefore, gave up Sumatra
and all. the places which are held on the continent of
India and the .peninsular of Malacca ; there is, there-
fore, no doubt respecting the meaning of the trt aty. Now
the Netherlands, having been in possession for many
years of two thirds of the island of Borneo, the Govern-
ment of the Netherlands thinks it would be contrary to
the spirit of the treaty if the English form a settlement
in the north-west part of Borneo. Great Britain pre-
rends that it is tree to settle at all points from which it
is not expressly excluded, or where the Netherlands
do not exercise any positive and recognised rights.
The English Government had, however, added that it
was by nu means the intention at this moment to make
use of the rights which it thinks it possesses of forming
a settlement on the north coast of Borneo. As for taking
possession of the island of Labuan, the Government of
the Netherlands have never opposed it, that island not
being st ithin the limits of what we consider our terri-
'ory. We have never set foot in that island, or had any
political or commercial connexion with it. The Minister
said that they had not lost the hope of convincing the Ca-
binet of London that our interpretation of the treaty of
1824 is correct, and that he had sufficient confidence in
British good faith to hope that the English Government
would abide by its resolution not to take possession of
any part of the isle of Borneo.—Dzttell Papers, Nov. 7,
1846.

MONMOUTH MUNICIPAL.
ELECTION.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—ln your paper of this morning appears a state-
ment of our municipal election, the remarks appended to
which are calculated to produce a false impression of the
real facts of the case. It is not true that the Duke of
Beaufort's influence, or that of any political party what-
ever, had one jot to do in the matter. The committee,
which conducted the proceedings on the part of those
gentlemen who are elected, was composed of men of all
parties, as was the public meeting at which the can-
didates were first proposed. One of those_ gentlemen
4-61" W
(Mr. Burton) is a Conservative, and4l.e aefeeted
candidates (Messrs. James Davis and James Pugh) are
Reformers. The opposition to the successful candidates
was promoted by two very troublesome and uninfluential
persons, of whom, to evince again the absence of political
motives, one is a Reformer and the other a Tory. In
the la.t two elections it has been the most anxious wish

of both parties to discourage political bias, and it was
upon this principle that they were distinctly conducted.
I am, Sir, yours very obediently,
W. A. COSSENS.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—An accident happened at
the Brimscembe station of the Great Western Railway,
on Thursday night last, owing to .the carelessness of
some of the company's servants, which has caused a great
destruction of property, and might have been attended
with loss of life. The policeman on duty having turned
the switches to enable an engine and tender to pass
into the shed, neglected to replace them, and about
eleven o'clock at night a traia of ballast wagons, which
it was arranged should not have reached the station
untill four o'clock on the following morning, came down
the line, and run into the shed. Of course a violent col-
lision was the consequence—the tender and engine being
completely doubled up and driven through the wall at
the end of the building, which is two feet thick.
.At

THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON' Nov. B.—The Ori-
ental Company's steam-ship Royal Tar, Captain Hamil-
ton, left the docks at 3 P.M. yesterday, for Gibraltar.
with the mails for that place, Cadiz, Lisbon, &c. Shv
takes out a general cargo and 36 passengers. The Erin,
Captain Brookes, is hourly expected from Constanti-
nople, &c. She will call at Malta for the Indian mails
and 53 passengers, which are at Malta awaiting her ar-
rival. The Montrose, Captain Burney, is hourly ex-
pected from Genoa, Leghorn, Civita Vecchia, Naples,
&c. ; but, from no date being fixed for her return when
she left this port, no fear need be entertained should she
not have arrived for a few days.
CAPTURE OF THE WATERLOO-BRIDGE TOLL COL-
LECTOR.—Christopher Walker, the collector of tolls at
Waterloo-bridge, who absconded with 251. belonging to
the company, has been taken by the police at Chelms-
ford. It seems he had dissipated the whole of the money
he ran off with, and on reaching Chelmsford, and finding
himself destitute, he gave himself up to the county police,
and confessed the embezzlement. He appeared unable
to afford an account bow be had disposed of the money ;
but stated that he left London on Saturday, since which
time he had spent 151, and 101. he bad in some way or
other lost. By direction of the local magistrates, he has
been brought to London, and handed over to the metro-
politan police for examination.
SWEARING IN OF THE NEW LORD MAYOR.—
The ceremony of swearing in the Lord Mayor of the
city of London for the year ensuing took place on Sa-
turday in Guildhall, before a very numerous and highly
respectable assemblage (chiefly ladies). The proceedings
were in the usual form, commencing with the assembling
of the Sheriffs, Under-Sheriffs, &c., with Sir G. Carroll,
the Lord Mayor elect, at the Mansion-house, where they
partook of an elegant dejeuner. The civic procession
was then formed, consisting of the state coach, in which
were the old and the new Lord Mayor, followed by the
splendid equipage of the new Sheriffs, and proceeded to
Guildhall, where a Court of Aldermen was held, and at
its conclusion Aldermen Humphery, Sir J. Duke, Wil•
son, Farncombe, Hooper, Moon, and several others, with
the civic functionaries, entered the great hall, where a
large body of the Livery of the Spectacle-makers' Com-
pany, to which both Lord Mayors belong. had previously
assembled. Aldermen Johnson and Sir G. Carroll were
received by the sp'ctators with loud applause. The let,
Lord Mayor having ascended the civic throne, the
various oaths were administered to his successor cud
other forms gone through.
