counties throughout England, and exceeding its value

WILLIAM MILLIKEN, Secretary.

It may be desirable to observe that, since all doubt and uncer-
tainty has disappeared, and Mr. R.'s public commentary of last
year has been fully confirmed, viz.,

IT WILL NOT BE QUITE SACRILEGE .
to designate it
A VERY HUMBLE RIVAL TO STRAWBERRY HILL.
There is so much to commend throughout that it will be difficult to
avoid injustice in shortening the representation which custom has
awarded to such announcements. It will probably be enough to
enlist the attention of the scientific world to state that those who
were ENRAPTURED at Strawberry hill may, without drawing
largely on their kindly feeling, be DELIGHTED at this renowned
receptacle of so many and such varied treasures.

" THAT THE CORN BILL IS FIXED
ON AN IMMOVABLE ROCK OF SAFETY,"

he may with the greatest confidence endeavour to enlist the
early attention of the great capitalists to a more secure and
lees doubtful employment in terra firma. The adjustment of the
great point at issue has arrived at a great, a triumphant result. It
is at length discovered that in the exceedingly intricate task, which
required all the mind, the perspicacity, and depth of intellect,
possessed by our first Minister, in organising his salutary ahem.
tion In the corn•laws, he has dealt out a measure of strict and im-
partial justice, no less to the manufacturing than the agricultural
interest. There is nothing invidious—he has laboured, and sue..
cessfully, to put at rest a very difficult point fairly and honestly;
his declaration is too unequivocal to be disregarded, and it should
no longer be a matter of doubt to Trustees who have money
to invest, and most especially all such as hold Three per Cents.,
(in fear and trembling, at the unhealthy price of 98), that terra
firma, so unnaturally depressed of late years, will combine two
points that the most sceptical cannot gainsay—a larger present in-
come, and a prospective view (whenever the cause which must re-
duce the public funds to such a fearful extent) of an increase
in the exact same proportion In the value of land.
Those remarks have for many years operated powerfully on the
mind of Mr. Robins, and the cheering declaration of Sir Robert
Peel has triumphantly established the bases upon which he
confidently submits, to an impartial public, the opinion he has so
long maintained.
