SALES BY AUCTION.

IN HANOVER-STREET.
Mr. FAIRS' far-famed MAGAZINE of ART and his FAMILY
RESIDENCEoining.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS respectfully makes
known to the Public, and more especially such as ap-
preciate the
CORRECT ORDER OF ARCHITECTURE AND THE FINE ARTS,
that he will SELL by AUCTION on the Premises, on TUESDAY.
the 21st of April, at One o'clock, in consequence of Mr.
FAIRS having taken, in conjunction with Mr. Meakin, the
extensive premises, No. 139, in New Bond-street, lately, and
for halt a century, in the occupation of Mr. Turner, Uphol-
sterer to the Royal Family, with the intention of continuing
the art of decorating, with the useful appendage of a thorough know-
ledge of furnishing houses in various styles suited to the present
taste. Mr. E. is instructed to sell the abode in which so much of the
deservedly fair fame of Mr. Fairs has been acquired,
N.. 2, IN HANOVER-STREET, HANOVER-SQUARE.
To give a lucid description of all its claims to admiration, both in
the exterior and the interior, would necessarily occupy too large a
space in a public announcement; it is, therefore, suggested that all
these inclined to this first-rate situation should go and judge for
themselves, when the moderated account that is to be attempted in
this little detail will be confirmed.
THE ORDER OF ITS ARCHITECTURE
IS or THE EARLY ITALIAN SCHOOL.
Its front is very much more imposing than anything contempora-
neous, and the expense of accomplishing this has necessarily con-
sumed a large capital : but its prepossessing appearance amply re-
pays the great outlay incurred, as well as the tact and anxiety,
that marked its progress and completion. It may be well,
" en passant," to observe that the situation is so pre-eminent that it
is adapted to the highest works of art ; indeed, it is fearlessly as-
serted that both within and without there is nothing to surpass it
throughout

THE METROPOS OF ;
and yet something in a more humble sphereENGLAND cannot fall, in a pecu-
niary view, to be highly beneficial; but ingenuity would be puzzled
to dizcever any pursuit that would bear a comparison with it, and
THE MAGAZINE AND SHOW ROOM
may easily be rendered worthy competitors with the Show Rooms of
the highly-respectable successors to Storr and Mortimer, in Bond-
street.

THE PRITATH RESIDENCE
adjoining is fall of taste and comfort, and is prodastive of a large
Income. It is held for a period of 1$ years, subject to a low Annual
Rent.

It can be viewed, by tickets, ten days antecedent to the Sale,
and particulars then had on the Premises ; and at Mr. George Robins's
oflices, Covent-garden, with the lithographic drawings attached.
The Splendid Decorations within this Emporium of Taste will be
sold fourteen days after the sale of the residence ; they comprise a
great cembination that cannot fail to delight the learned in taste and
vertu. For greater convenience, they will be removed and sold at
his large Rooms in Covent-garden.

A Capital RESIDENCE, in the Centre ofNMOUTHSHIRE. this beauteous County,
TWO FARM, on Lease, with excellent Buildings; altogether 425

MR. GEORGE ROBINS is commissioned to
OFFER by PUBLIC AUCTION at the Mart, London, on
THURSDAY, the 7th of May, at 12 o'Clock, in One Lot, an exceedingly
ELIGIBLE FREEHOLD INVESTMENT,
and one perfectly free from any uncertainty arising from the pro-
jected alterations ;in the corn-laws ; combining with a

OF WHICH 35e ACRES ARE ARABLE AND PASTURE, AND

fortune to sojourn there; those who have not, and would invest in

less-favoured districts, will do well to be on the alert, and do
"their possible" to become the possessor of this tine property.

JOHN OVERFED, ESQ.,
THE WEALT ,Y BANKER, OF LONDON,
The situation will be irresistible in provoking a little outlay to
complete that which the late possessor so ably projected. Without
being too cumbersome or expensive, the Residence combines all that
a family of great respectability can desire, kitchen gardens and
orchards. Should the purchaser of the Estate desire to reside, and

there is an abundance of geld sports, and lots of fishing ; and the cele-

Farms, with comfortable abode, which adjoins the residence, and
all necessary buildings, two warm and sheltered yards for stock, and

four years yet to come.

This freehold property is
ALL EXEMPT FROM TITHES,
with Rates very small, and one-half compromised by a payment
from the London and Birmingham Railway Company. It extends to
SEVEN HUNDRED AND FORTY ACRES OF
PASTURE, ARABLE, AND WOOD LANDS ;
the quality is first-rate, and it is all in the highest state of cultiva-
tion. There is

A VILLA ORNEE, IN THE
STYLE OF QUEEN ELIZABETH,
commanding extensive and beautiful views, beside a second abode
adapted to facilitate the wishes of a sporting man. There are
Gardens and Pleasure Grounds ; the tenantry are highly respectable,
and (HEAR IT ALL TIIOSE WHO INCLINE TO BE DISSATIS-

adjoining manors being strictly preserved by
LORD CRAVEN AND THE BRANDON PROPERTY.
The Farm Homo and all the agricultural buildings are in first-rate
condition, and cannot require a shilling to be expended in any way.
The high Holyhead and London mail daily traverses through the
hamlet, and the railway has shortened the time to Loudon to less
than three hours.

THE CITY OF COVENTRY,
close at hand, is a feature of too much importance to be overlooked ;
but as the advantages seem to follow in such quick succession, Mr.
Robins will desist from prolonging this announcement until he has
made his survey—only observing the present very low rental exceeds
FIFTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR, AND THE
PROPERTY IS ALL EXTRA-PAROCHIAL.
BY way of conclusion, it affords the writer very great satisfaction to

(From the Railway Times.)
The Irish contest of last week between the two Western
Railway Companies, may be compared to the Battle of the
Gauges of last session, as upon no subject connected with
railways at present was the same degree of interest excited
in the sister kingdom. On the one hand, the Great Southern
and Western Company were actively promoting the
well-
known Dublin and Galway scheme, and had actually under-
taken to subscribe 100,0001. for this purpose, while on the
other hand the Midland Great Western Company were pro-
moting the construction of a railway from 111u!linger to
Galway, which while it would afford a more direct commu.
nication, professed to accomplish the object by the construc-
tion of some eighteen miles less of railway.
By the decision of the Committee, the competing Com-
panies have been permitted to connect Athlone with Dublin
by two different routes, while the Dublin and Galway Com-
pany have got the extension from Athlone to the latter town.
Now, with every respect for the honourable tribunal by
whom the subject was investigated, we are at a loss to divine
the reasons for their decision, for, if the witnesses produced
by the competing Companies agreed upon any one subject in
particular, it was on this, namely :—That it would be absurd
to sanction two lines to Athlone, as the traffic of the country
would never justify an expenditure sufficient for their con-
struction. In the teeth of such evidence, coming from such
public men as General Sir John Burgoyne, Messrs. Griffith
and Mulvan, as well as Sir John Macneill, the Committee
have arrived at a decision which may be productive of
Y
serious mischief to the inhabitants of Galway, who, after all,
are the parties most interested, and have heretofore, taken
the most active measures to bring before the public and
Parliament the claims of their locality for railway communi.
cation with the metropolis. Having been in the committee-
room when the decision was announced, we are enabled to
state from conversations which we had then, and subse-
quently, with some of the most active promoters of the com-
peting lines, that the Mellinger Company (as they are
called) will probably make their railway to Athlone, which
they can accomplish by some twenty-three or twenty-
four miles, while the Dublin and Galway Company, having
to construct nearly thirty-eight miles for a similar purpose,
will be slow to incur the necessary expenditure ; the more
particularly because, when made, the competition of the
grand canal for merchandise, and the Mellinger Railway
for passengers, would leave but a comparatively trifling re-
venue upon which to depend fora dividend.
We have therefore no difficulty in expressing our convic-
tion, which we do with the greater certainty, because we
have the evidence of such practical men as those to whom
we have referred, that it would be a cruel and unnecessary
waste of the money of the shareholders to attempt to con-
struct a railway from Portarlington to Athlone, and it would
be also unfair to the people of Connaught that Athlone
should have two communications with Dublin, while, in
consequence of the bickerings of two boards of railway direc-
tors, their chances of a railway to Galway would be seriously
prejudiced. The present is not the time for wild and reck-
less expenditure. The condition of the money market—the
great depreciation which has taken place in the valae of
railway securities, and the prevailing apprehension that
many sound projects will be brought to a stand-still, from
the general pressure of calls upon shareholders—all those
causes should produce their due effect upon prudent and
honourable men, and induce them not to involve their pro-
prietary in expense which, while it is not likely to be pro-
ductive, naay have a very damaging effect upon some sound
undertakings in the sister country. We are not now broach.
ing new opinions; we can refer to the pages of this journal
for the full confirmation of the sentiments which we now
express, and more particularly instance the cases of the Dun-
dalk and Enniskillen and Newry Companies, respecting
which we gave warnings which were unheeded, and which
unfortunately are already in a fair way of being verified.
It is idle to suppose that Irish railways will produce (at
least for some years to come) the amount of revenue which
their projectors anticipate, and it should become the un-
doubted duty of those parties who are intrusted with their
construction to take care that the works shall be made
cheaply, yet substantially, such as when made will be likely
to afford a fair return to the shareholders. It will not do to
permit engineers and architects to lavish money on splendid
viaducts and costly stations, with a view of gratifying their
ambitious aspirations. If such things are permitted, we do
not expect that one-third of the schemes which have received
the sanction of Parliament will be completed for the next
twenty years.
