SALES BY AUCTION.

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, in lots of one 62d 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 wtiy 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 PI,INCIPAL PROPRIETOR, WHO IT IS KNOWN HAS
A VERY PREPO.NDERATING SHARE

a 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 lire, which is but rarely voughsafediud.„.2.l4l,.

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 traversir its beaten path
or many long years amid great vicissitudes, but always cheered
by the knowledge that

ChARACTER AND CONSISTENCY TS THE MOTTO CLAIMED

ESPECIALLY BY THE "GLOBE."

If it be asked what has been the result, It willi cheer and gladden
the hearts of those who value the path that has risen this paper to
its just hitch of renown to know that it never was more in public
esti ation than at the present moment. The next (and with a pur-
chaser an importan' query) will suggest itself, how has its income
flu tested, 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 prod s 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 lIIGII 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. A criterion
of its increasing prosperity may be gathered from the fact, that, in
1844, the present Proprietor of so large a stake purchased

THREE ADDITIONAL SHARES.
A commentary upon this would be superfluoug. 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 privile :e of one 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
