SALES BY AUCTION•

IN W.
THE PET FREEHOLD ESTATEWICKSHIR OF THE COUNTY, WITH THE
MANOR AND ITS EXTENSIVE RIGHTS; THE ENTIRE
HAMLET OF WILLENHALL, A RESIDENCE IN THE
ELIZABETHAN STYLE ; FIVE SUPERIOR FARMS, 750
ACRES, WITH A TENANTRY QUITE UNEXCEPTIONABLE.
THIS FINE PROPERTY APP2tOACHES THE CITY OF
COVENTRY, LS BOUNDED BY TWO RIVERS, AND THE
. TURNPIKE ROAD DIVIDES THE PROPERTY. IT IS,
BESIDES, ALL TITHE-FREE, AND EXTRA-PAROCHIAL.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is favoured by in-
structions from the proprietor, to announce for public
competion, at the Auction Mart, London, on TUESDAY, the 16th of
June, at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot,
A FREEHOLD PROPERTY AND DEMESNE,
of which It may well be said It has no fear of rivalry throughout this
admired county—indeed, the advantages are so many, and press in
such rapid succession upon the mind of the composer of this very
imperfect outline, that it is not a little difficult to state where to
begin. However, the effort must be made ; firstly,
IT IS DECIDEDLY, FOR ITS SIZE,
THE MOST ELIGIBLE, AND CERTAINLY THE
MOST COMPACT PROPERTY THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.
There can be no scepticism arise out of this assertion. No one can
w justice gainsay this high panegyric. It extends to
THE WHOLE HAMLET, TOGETHER WITH
THE EXTENSIVE MANOR OF WILLENIIALL,
whichith is within two short miles of

THE ANCIENT CITY OF COVENTRY.

There are

FIVE CAPITAL FARMS,
WITH SUPERIOR BUILDINGS
AND WARM FARM-YARDS TO EACH,
AND ALL WITHIN A RING FENCE,
TITHE FREE AND EXTRA-PAROCHIAL,
extending to about
SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY ACRES

OF RICH MEADOW, PASTURE, aud ARABLE LAND,
entirely and strictly within a ring fence, including the prolific
woods. The rates are unusually small, arising out of the fact that
they are paid by a compromise with the
LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY,
whose line passes through Willeahali. The soil is of first-rate quality,
as the crops annually demonstrate, and the rick yards verify. Every
Farm possesses a superior dwelling, with large garden, and the build-
ings essential for agricultural purposes are unexceptionable, in fact,
everything is in the most perfect apple-pie order. A microscopic eye
cquld hardly discover a single third out of place, and with it
• A TENANTRY THAT MR. ROBINS PROCLAIMS
CAN NOT RE EXCELLED TI.IROUGHOITT ENGLAND ;
AND HEAR IT ALL YE OF LITTLE FAITH IN
TIIE STAPLE COMMODITY OF THE COUNTRY,
"THERE IS NOT NOR HAS THERE BEEN
AN ARREAR OF ONE GUINEA DURING
THE LAST TEN YEARS."

It may now be asked, " Where is to be found a corresponding case?"
AND ECHO REJOINS " WHERE."

In respect to the auxiliaries not immediately sought in the shape of
income, it should be said
THE ADJOINING MANORS ARE STRICTLY PRESERVED

BY LORDS CRAVEN AND HOOD,

as also the Bagiuton and Brandon property. There is an abundance
of game, and field sports extend to a gentleman's fondest desire. The
Estate is bounded by two large rivers (the Avon and Bowe), which
furnish constant amusement to those Inclined to recreate in fishing.
THE ELIZABETHAN VILLA

is altogether adapted to a gentleman's occupation. It probably
might be improve) by a finishing stroke from the hand of an artiste.
There is, besides, one of the 'farm-houses where the proprietor
would be but too happy to take up his quarters occasionallyduring the
sporting season. The next point requiring a commentary is the
rental—it must be premised—there are no leases. The present low
rental is 1,5501, a year ; but it is quite manifest that
SEVENTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR

will be conceded as a MODERATE rent, and this should be secured
to the PRESENT GOOD MEN AND TRUE, by givng to each a
fourteen years' lease. James Mellor, Esq., who has so long domesti-
cated with his family on the hill, and whose quiet abode overlooks
Coventry and its beautifld spires, it would be in bad taste to refuse
a lease for his life, although it will probably, and it is to be hoped, be
a very long one. Longevity prevails on this healthy property, and
some time since this was proved by MR. BLUE (close by) retiring into
a better world, at the advanced age of 108. Mr. Mellor's grounds
are beautiffilly disposed, and more especially the wild flower•garden,
(under the worthy lady's especial care), which gives to it a pleasing
variety.

LORD CRAVEN AND LORD HOOD
are close allies ;
AND THE ESTATE OF THE BROTHER OF
SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART.
is close at hand.

The farms are very productive in the soil for white crops, especially
wheat and barley, with some admirable turnip land ; but as dairy
farms, and to fatten bullocks, they have even a higher claim. The
contiguity to one of the first markets in England, and the facility to
return manure, whenever the good folks of Coventry are indulged
with a portion of the produce of this highly cultivated soil, are ad-
vantages that a good agriculturist will not overlook. And now, by
way of conelusioa, Mr. Robins will ask, and with earnestness (taking
into the scale the great curiosity that prevails everywhere to get
into good farms now-a-days), if the every day observation, resound-
ing now from all quarters, that

THE AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN MORE
FRIGHTENED THAN HURT,

is not rendeted most manifest by the above unassuming recital
of facts?

The plans are all but ready, and will be distributed, with a draw-
ing, on the plan with the Elizabethan Villa, by Mi. Phillips, jun., of
Coventry. His father (the eminent practitioner of this great city)
will also take the trouble to give all essential explanation, and appoint
alit man to go over the estate.

Auction Mart, and at Mr. George Robins's offices, London.

THE SALE OF THE GLOBE NEWSPAPER.
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
THURSDAY, the 9th of July, at Twelve o'clock, at the Auction Mart,
London,
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 u paper
so deservedly high in the public estimation (and never at any period
in a prouder positiem than at this juncture) should he in the market.
It is not a little refreshing to Mr. Robins to be called upon for this
explanation.
TIIE PRINCII'AL PROPRIETOR, WHO IT IS KNOWN HAS
A VERY PREPONDERATING SHARE
In this

" LITTLE MINE OF WEALTH,"
and has presided over its destines 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 he conceded
to the honourable proprietor, that he should have a few years un-
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; indeed 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
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 important query) will suggest itself, how has its income
fluctuated, and what is its present position ? Gladly does Mr. Robins
hasten to rejoin, that he is able to give the fullest satisfaction on that
and Indeed every other point. The statement of profits during the
last ten years Is before the writer of this announcement, from which
he collects the fact, that the Shares
HAVE NEVER ARRIVED AT SO HIGH A VALUE AS AT
THE PRESFNT 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. A criterion
of its value may be gathered from the fact, that in 1844, when the
dividends were at the lowest, the present Proprietor purchased
THREE SIXTY-SECOND SHARES FOR 2,310 L
A commentary upon this would bc, superfluous. The paper, it is
known, is divided into

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

" GLOBE" CHANGES HANDS.
The Particulars will be ready twenty-one days prior to the
Sale ; then to be had at the Auction Mart, the office of the " Globe,"
and at Mr. George Robins's offices, London.

IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND RECHERCHE PART OF
SOMERSETSHIRE, NEARLY MIDWAY BETWEEN CLIF-
TON AND THE SEVERN, ONE OF THE MOST PERFECT
VILLAS WITH ITS APPURTENANCES IN ENGLAND;
AROUND IT ARE ITS PLEASURE-GROUNDS, A DEMESNE
EXTENDING TO 50 ACRES, ALL FRREHOLD AND TITHE
FREE.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS has pleasure in stating
he has been selected to TRANSFER, without a limited price,
at the White Lion Hotel, Bristol, on Thursday, the 25th of June. at
One, for Two o'clock, precisely.
A SINGULARLY DELIGHTFUL
and altogether a

MOST ELIGIBLE PROPERTY.
It is well known and highly appieciated as
THE SEVERN HOUSE DEMESNE,
four miles from Bristol and Clifton, on the road to the splendid
river Avon' and the passage into Monmouthshire. A description
of this villa abode is a matter of necessity, but the writer feels that
his representation must necessarily be very incomplete, inasmuch, as
although it will be conceded that there are to be found a little host
of elegant abodes in progressing through the romantic drive of four
miles, yet it, is ,confidently stated that there is nothing to present
itself that can be put in juxta-position with Severn House. The
position is remarkable for the capability it affords to partake in an
unusual degree of the extent, and what may really be justly termed
