All those who propose to emigr-te will do well to enlist under the
ba ners of a good landlord, in a genial, healthy climate, and prospects
of independence nowhere else so cheering and so certain. bfr.
George Robins's territory, consists of 43,0 O acres of land, and not
far from several ports, and contiguous to the Lea. It is to be divided
into farms suitable to the views of the rich, the industrious, and the
poorer class of society. He requires no rent for twelve months;
then he proposes to let it for Sixpence an acre only for three years ' •
and at a Shilling an acre for as many years after as may be required.
A man whose capital extends to £l,OOO cannot fail to realise an in-
dependence at a railway pace; and ev"n £5OO is sufficient to hold
out great encouragement. There is no time now for delay. This
spring, that is in June, Scotian', England, and Ireland should fur-
nish their quota of honest jolly agriculturists, who will have great
encouragement from Mr. Robins, if their credentials be satisfactory.
The following is a succinct statement of the property
It is situate in

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE,
net two degrees from the mouth of the Knysna, a navigable river
for vessels of 403 tons, ten miles inland ; seventy miles from the
port of Feaufort, and three hours' ride only from the beautiful dis-.
tact of Swartland. The Land is principally pasture, with a few
thousand acres for corn and wine ; it is admirably ad pted to depar-
ture sheep, and the Merino Wool is highly appreciated in England.
'I here are Vineyards, and the Cape Wine is very fine. 'I he Madras
Cavalry are entirely supplied from the Cape, as well as the Mauritius
and St. Helena.
Slabberts Poort it is called, a most improveable Estate, and in the
hands of Englishmen, or more especially, a few
FIRSTIR ATE SCOTCH FARMERS,
would soon become invaluable. Its position is on the direct road to
the frontier, where a profitable business might be carried on inde-
pendent of farming. It is near the ports of Massel Bay and River
Knysna. The latter will probably soon be opened by the completion
of a projected road from Beaufort district is it. Vessels of 4t.io tons
burthen can enter at all times, and take cargoes on board four miles
up the river.
1 here are at the Cape
ENGLISH SHEEP FARMERS,
with moderate capital, say from 1,0001. to 3,0001. each, who have,
within the last two years, located themselves in the Colony ; and it Is
not a little gratifying to behold the fine flocks of well and crosa-bred
sheep, so abundantly scattered about; a convincing proof that the
grazing qualities of the land are adapted for cattle as well as sheep.
The wool flocks are fast increasing in all parts of the Colony, and,
it is said, frogs the frontiers alone,
ONE MILLION OF POUNDS AT LEAST, WILL BE EX.
PORTED THIS YEAR.
The Cape must soon
FORCE ITSELF INTO NOTICE,

for the investment of capital and introduction of labour,
THE NEW TARIFF IS A MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE,
and the time of its introduction most apropos. Th - Colony will now
export in large quantities Salt Provisions—Fat Oxen are produced
there at 4f., or I M, per lb., the hide worth 20s.
This is a brief outline of the advantages in perspective for men o
f
character and small capital.
The prospect is much more cheering than to Australia, where such
rapid fortunes are being made.

this Property may be had, and principals 1611 meet with great en-
couragement by application to Mr. George Robins's offices, Covent-

RICK CLOTHS, with POLES, PULLIES,
and LINES, complete.
" No farmer should be without a good Rick Cloth, for It is certainly
one of the most useful things he can have on his premises. It is not
only in hay-time and harvest-time that he wants it—the benefit of it
in one awkward day with thethreshing-machine is equal to the cost."
Gardener's Gazette, July 14, 1838.
