SALTS BY AUCTION.

A FREEHOLD PROPERTY OF CONSIDERABLE
MAGNITUDE IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE.
THE WOODCHESTER PA RK ESTATE ; INFINITELY
THE FINEST LANDED INVESTMENT IN THE
M A RKET.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the honour to
announce that he has been favoured by instructions
from the Noble Earl to SELL by PUBLIC COMPETITION,
in the month of NAY NEXT,
THE MAGNIFICENT ESTATE, WITH A PRINCELY
DEMESNE,
familiar as THE WOODCHESTER ESTATE,
in the rich part of Gloucestershire, near to Stroud, the pro-
perty of

THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF DUCIE.
The present object is merely to awaken in good time the atten-
tion of those uho have the means, and are anxious to avail
themselves of an Investment infinitely surpassing any purchase
that has been in the market since the memorable Sales of
THE LATE EARL OF ORMONDE.
Early in the Sin ing Mr. Robins will endeavour to enlist the
public attention by a very faithful announcement, which will
necessarily enter more into particulars than the condensed
statement that follows.
It is accounted
THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF GLOUCESTER-
SHIRE,
and the prominent features alone are so many and so varied,
that it would be impossible to compress them within the mean-
ing of this short announcement : at presant it will suffice to ob-
serve that the Mansion and Offices (of the pure Bath Stone)
were created at an expense exceeding One Hundred Thousand
Pounds ; it is seated in the beauteous vale of Gloucester, and in
A PARK LUXURIANT BEYOND DESCRIPTION,
NOT YIELDING IN ITS NATURAL BEAUTY 'lO
ANYTHING CONTEM POR ANEOUS IN ENGLAND.
IT EXTENDS TO FOUR I EEN HUNDRED ACRES,
AND IN WHICH THE WOOD AN]) THE WATERS
are for ever contending for the supremacy ; and this, be it
remembered, at a distance of only three hours and a-half ride
from London,
THE ESTATE EXTENDS FOUR MILES IN LENGTH
AND IS MORE THAN FIVE MILES BROAD,
inducting Lots of first-rate Farms, with a tenantry quite un-
exceptionable. The value exceeds
THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS.
There is connected with the Woodchester Property
TWO ADVOWSONS—WOODCHESTER AND
FROCESTER,

with capital abodes.
THE ENTIRE VILLAGE OF NYMPHFIELD,
AND POLITICAL INFLUENCE EXTENDING OVER
TWELVE HUNDRED INDEPENDENT YEOMEN.
It is believed Mr. Robins has now set forth enough to encoui age
and enlist the attention of all those who think with him that
terra firma is the first security ;n the world ; and since
THE ADMIRABLE AND STATESMANLIKE
MANNER
by which SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART.,
has settled and put b. rest for ever, the
INTRICATE QUESTION OF THE CORN-BILL,
there can now be no doubt in the minds even of those who were
sceptical before, that land, the rental from which is now fixed
upon an immoveable rock of safety, is preferable to Three per
Cents., at a very high and somewhat unhealthy price.
Mr. Robins will conclude by inviting such capitalists as are
in search of the best investment extant, to give him personally
the opportunity to explain the minutim connected with the
Woodehester property, which he has carefully surveyed, and
consequently is competent to add considerably to this very im.
perfect representation to those who may do him the honour to
make inquiry.
