311-R. GEORGE ROBINS begs to announce to
those who are inclined to improve their fortunes in another
and very favoured country, and in a climate THAT HAS NO
CONTEMPORARY IN EUROPE, that he is instructed to
OFFER to PUBLIC SALE, at the Auction Mart, London, on
THURSDAY, August 18, at Twelve,
A VERY IMPORTANT PROPERTY,
ADVANTAGEOUSLY SITUATi,-: AT
THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE,

offering attractions mid advantages of the utmost moment to
the emigrant Farmer with capital, or the great Capitalist,
who will know well hew to appreciate t'he benefits which
his capital, with labour and exertions, will command, in
a country where the soil and climate are the most genial, and cer-
tain, at all periods of the year, to facilitate the laudable endea-
vour to secure that prosperity and independence to which his bold
and praiseworthy efforts will so justly entitle him ; next in impor..
lance may be ranked the protection which is afforded by this
country to Settlers,
THE TITLE TO THE LAND BEING DIRECT FROM
GOVERNMENT, AND UNQUESTIONABE;

and lastly, the position of the estate, which is known as

SLABBERT'S POORT,
one of the most valuable and extensive estates throughout the Cape
of Good Hope. It is situated in the field Cornetcy of Tarka, in
the county of Beaufort, being in south latitude 33.15 to 20, and
east longitude 23.13 to 15, near the Iraka River. It is

A SHEEP FARM,
and unquestionably may be ranked as decidedly one of the best in
the Cape. The hill pastures are covered with sweet grass from
the base to the summit. On the plains will be found plenty of
grass and succulent herbage, on which sheep and cattle get fat
very rapidly. In this district the Estate comprehends
43,304 ACRES OF RICH PASTURAGE,
which must always be the source of immense pecuniary gain.
THERE IS ABUNDANT FEED FOR 6,000 SHEEP THE

WHOLE YEAR,
which, under able management, it is needless to remark, will afford
the most ample remuneration for the employment of capital; and the
profit arising from the export and sale of Wool from this prospe-
rous colony has lately been most encouraging. There is a small
house upon the estate, with a sheep krall near it ; a garden planted
with fruit trees and 3,000 vines; also five permanent springs,
giving a never.failing supply of water.
The late district land surveyor of Beaufort describes the Estates
as follows :—" Slabbert's Poort is a good sheep farm, and com-
mands the best pasturage on the River Iraka ; and as the high
road from the Eastern Provinces to Cape Town passes through the
farm, it presents a very favourable position for
A STORE, OR SHOP, UPON A GREAT SCALE."

Full particulars of the position and advantages of this extensive
and unequalled Estate will be published, and may be had twenty.
eight days prior to the Sale, of D. H. Williams, Esq., solicitor,
