An immense Freehold Territory, in the immediate vicinity of Na-

R. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to an-
nounce to the monied world, that he will SUBMIT by
PUBLIC AUCTION, at the Mart, in London, on Tittiusnav,
the 26th November, at Twelve o'Clock, and UNRESERVEDLY,

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FREEHOLD
ESTATES

that has ever been offered to the consideration of the
GREAT AND AIODERATE CAPITALIST.

This ma3,;nd probably will, appear to the reader at first as some-
what astounding ; mature reflection will, however, persuade him
the observations made advisedly. Emigration has lately become
an every-day occurrence, where the prospect of success bath at
least much of uncertainty to .restrain the adventurer. In the pro-
posed Sale it. would be difficult to suggest a doubt, and the arrange-
ment of the Lots bath ve:sely contemplated an opportunity, whereby
the small as *ell as the large capitalist will each secure advantages
proportionate to their Itlearts. It is no speculation; no theoretical
operation, where doubt can operate on the mind, to which public
attention is now directed and earnestly invited, It must, when
well diqested, be classed as a
CERTAIN MEANS of ACQUIRING WEALTH WITHOUT
• RISK, by MEANS of TALENT and INDUSTRY. -
At the present moment, when it is found so difficult to employ
capital with a probability or moderate remuneration in England,
the present opportunity is held tilt with en assurance that, unlike
the visionary follies of years forttinately gone by, it is most anxiously

the bottom every doiiht dr tineertaintv that ingenuity can present.;
and unless one and all girt ikAjr td the mighty conviction, which

such case (one approaching to impossibility), lie will do well not to
enter this field of competition, enterprise, and fortune.
THE ESTATE CONSISTS OF 105,000 ACRES OIL

VALUABLE LANDS,
IN TWO TRACTS, ADJOINING EACH OTHER,
purcha'sed under circumstances without any parallel. The original
vendor might well exclaim with the immortal Bard—
" MY POVERTY, BUT NOT MY WILL. CONSENTS."

'rho plans and surveys which have been most carefully taken,
and mapped with an accuracy well worthy of English imitation,
vril show at. one view the precise situation, the entire tracts being
ON THE GREAT NAVIGABLE RIVER ELK, FOR
FORTY MILES ON THE SOUTHERN BANK,
which the traveller knows flows through and fertilize extensive tracts
of land, discharging their waters into the Ohio ; thus joining the
Western and Northern States by the most magnificent and exten-
sive line of

INTERNAL COMAIUNICATION in the WHOLE WORLD.
The increasing prosperity of the adjacent States, both in wealth
and population, amply attest the value of that communication for
the interchange of the productions of agriculture and commerce.
The natural and social advantages of
THE STATE OF VIRGINIA,
the most central and civilized of

ALL THE AMERICAN UNION,
are known and fully recognized. It may not be out of place to
state, that since the stream of emigration has so strongly flowed
every year to the United States from all parts of
OVER-PEOPLED EUROPE,
the opportunity presented to all and every class of capitalists,
farmers, mechanics, and labourers, each in their separate capacity,
to become the holders and improvers of the best lands in America,
is one of very; very rare occurrence, remembering always that they
are almost
EXEMPT FROM TAXES, UNENCUMBERED BY ANY
PUBLIC DEBT,
and allowed the most unshackled
FREEDOM OF RELIGIOUS WORSHIP.
The Legislature of Virginia has recently passed an Act for a
VAST RAILROAD,
intended to pass through the centre of these lands.
FIVE MILLIONS FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS
have been subscribed (one half by the State) to form this railroad,
which, when completed in five short years, will
UNITE THE GREAT NA VI(iABLE RIVER JAMES,
communicating with the Atlantic, to the great river Kanawha, and
emptying its waters into the
" AIIGHTY OHIO."
Such is a very faint and imperfect sketch of the prospects under
consideration. Much more of useful information will. be appended
to the Particulars of Sale. In the meantime the Proprietor, who
in this country may be personally communicated with, and every

NEW °LICE.
OCT. S.—AN IGNOBLE TERMINATION OF A N. OBLE
SPREE.—The public were some weeks since advised, thro ugh
the Press, of the arrival at Boston of a splendid yae ht,
belonging to the Marquis of Waterford, in which its nob.le
owner and others of the British nobility were passengers.-
The arrival of those distinguished visiters in this city was
also duly announced, and the hospitality of our citizens
were not slow in being tendered „them. Yesterday the
Marquis of Waterford, Hon. John Beresford, Lord Ross-
lyn, and Colonel Dundas, dined with one of the most
estimable citizens, and bore evicknee on leaving, Ice arc in-
, formed, of his usual unbounded cheer. The exhilaration
of spirits imbibed by the guests, incited in them predii,ec-
tions for a " spree ;" and sundry unfortunate wayfarers
who haplessly came in the way of their midnight migration
homeward, received, probably for the first time in their
lives, striking testimonia:s of the force cf a nobleman's
passion. Passing down Washington-street, near Morris,
they attacked, unmercifully beat, and nearly (..:',muded, an
inoffensive passer-by. Two street lamps that had the pre-
sumption to stand by order of the Mayor and Corpora-
tion, were next assailed and demolished, as was also a
neighbouring window, which, lacking a shutter, exposed its
nakedness to theirTheroic canes, stones, and other missiles-.
About this time a plain republican watchman, named
William Carter, found himself suddenly in contact with
these noble revellers, and undertook to arrest the progress
of their demolitions, and the chivalrous enactors. This
plebeian interference did not appear to sit well on the no-
ble stomachs of tine gentlemen, and they gave token of their
dissatisfaction by a.cop;Ous discharge of hard names, angry
oaths, and peltings with their fists—at the same time put-
ting the offending Charley in the knowledge of who it was
lie was interfering with. The unsophisticated machman,
however, bad never received any instructions to spare
Lords or Marquises of any kind whom he found trespass-
ing, and giving an alarm rap, two others of the same school
can,‘: to his assistance ; but before thoy arrived, he had
not only- suffered much in body, but also 1,7 mind, by rea-
son of the comparative nakedness to which the fray had
reduced him. When his comrades came, they made a si-
multaneous charge on the Marquis, the Lord, the Colonel,
and the Honourable, and compelled them to fly. The lat-
ter, springing into a boat, converted the oars into blud-
geons, and resumed the contest ; but the watchmen proved
too many for them, and they were conducted, prisoners of
war fairly captured, to the watch-house,. When the po-
lice-office opened this morning, four silly-looking young
fellows, somewhat the worse for the night's debauch and
the encounter, were placed before the bar, and the Mar-
quis of Waterford, Hon. John Beresford, Lord Roslyn,
and Colonel Dundas, of the Royal Guards, answered to
their names. The Magistrate, Justice Hopson, straightway
informed them of the ofences of which they stood charged,
which they in no very mild terms denied, and made some
high-toned remarks which rather served to put the Ma-
gisi;at.e on his " reserved rights." He soon made out a
commtroent for them, and they were escorted to Bridewell
by some E or 20 watchmen. Here their ill-brooked de-
gradation led them into a squabble with the keeper, in
which the Noble il!arquis was floored, as was also one of
his companions. Hefe they remained several hours, but
were finally liberated through the interference of his Ho-
nour the Mayor and the BritZsh Consul, after paying Car-
ter, the watchman, '2O dollars for injuries received, and
listening to a most cutting rebuke tom the Magistrate.
Since the foregoing was in type, wt have received au-
thentic information, which gives a very diZerent aspect to,
and exonerates the English gentlemen from much that was
alleged Against them. The truth is, the young noblemen
in question i..ad not dined in the city at all, but on the con-
trary they had been entertaining a few friends on kiard
of their own vessel. At a late hour they were bringing
their friends ashore In their own boat, and were rather
boisterous in their singing and other evidences of merri-
I
meat. The consequence eta. the interposition of the
watchmen, and an 'affray, which Las been greatly exagge-
rated by the police reporters, who secm to be more ambi-
tious to tell great stories than correct ontzs. The Marquis
of Waterford regrets exceedingly that any thing of an un-
pleasant nature should have occurred, in -a country where
he has been so much gratified by his visit, and in which he
has received so many evidences of hospitality and kind
feeling.
