OBSERVATIONS RELATING TO THE VERY IMPORT-
ANT ESTATES AT PRESENT ADVERTISED FOR
SALE BY AUCTION AS ABOVE.

MR. W. W. SIMPSON, fur obvious reasons,
has recommended the proprietors of Irish Estates who
have honoured him with their confidence, to postpone those sales,
which were advertised to be sold by Auction in April and June last
to the autumn of this year. In reference to the copy of the

ensure order, industry, and the increased prosperity of the country.
The confidence created by the contemplation of these measures has

within a small sum of the amount which would be accepted, con.
firms the correctness of the foregoing conclusions. These ob-
servations apply also to mortgages. Mr. Simpson cannot help
thinking that the all.wise and omnipotent Disposer of human
events has visited Ireland with the potato scourge for the purpose
of stimulating the Government and landed proprietary to form
plans, and make such advances as. will improve the condition
of millions of the Irish small and other tenants : and that, in.
stead of cultivating and feeding solely on a vegetable yielding
only twenty.five per cent. of food nutritious to the human
tio
frame eh

and green crops in all their variety, produce
which, under a proper course of cropping, does not exhaust the
power of the land as the potato does, the conversion of the straw
moreover yielding tenfold the manure obtainable from the potato
plant. Under the measures of a wise Government the unbounded
