at a Peppercorn Rent.
MFR. GEORGE ROBINS has the honour
to announce, that he is instructed to SELL by
AUCTION, and peremptorily, on THURSDAY, the 13th of
August, at the Auction Mart, London, a very eligible Pro-
perty, with a view to a 'safe and permanent investment for
capital, comprehending
THE DUBLIN THEATRE ROYAL,
with all its valuable machinery, scenery, wardrobes, and
properties of every description, the whole of a character
that will not yield to the
METROPOLITAN THEATRES,
and possessing an advantage even beyond its rival compeers
in England, inasmuch as it presents a splendid and elegant
structure, PERFECTLY INSOLATED.

Its exterior has long been the subject of unvarying ap-
probation, while the interior presents a model of perfection
well worthy of imitation. The altitude of the principal
building admit's of the most effective scenic operations, faci-
litated by the application of the most approved mechanisms.
The stage is extensive, the auditory capacious, and the cor-
ridors and saloon splendid anti commodious, the tout en-
semble combining every thing which great taste and con-
summate skill could accomplish. Also,
THE VALUABLE PATENT, INSURING THE EX-
CLUSIVE RIGHT OF PERFORMING DRAMA-

TIC REPRESENTATIONS WITHIN THE CITY

OF DUBLIN,
and possessing a most important additional feature, that its
performances are not subject to
THE CONTROUL OF A LICENSER;
and there is an express Act of Parliament of George 111.
restricting any minor Theatre from acting Tragedy, Comedy,
Opera, or Interlude, under a most severe penalty, and en-
forced by a very summary and not expensive process. This
extensive Property stands upon nearly One Acre of Land,
and in the best situation in Dublin, near to the College,
and in the heart of the City. The grount rent is 564/.
45., and the taxes do not exceed 1001., so that this annual
expenditure would scarcely exceed one great night's re-
ceipt ; and it will be observed ; as a most remarkable fact
connected with theatrical history, that by means of the profit
rental produced by other property included in the lease,
IT IS ENTIRELY RENT FREE,

It was completed in the year 1521, under the superintend-
ence of Mr. Beazeley, and the cost, under a very econo-
mical arrangement, exceeded 125,0001.

THE PATENT FOR THIS THEATRE ROYAL
is granted for 21 years, (the longest period that one can be
given) and is renewable for ever, and consequently equal
to a freehold tenure, unless forfeited by gross misconduct.
It is submitted that enough has been stated to justify Mr.
Robins in calling the special attention of those who are
alive to the great profits attendant upon a theatrical pro-
perty to embark in a purchase, that, with moderate exertion,
a talented man cannot fail of success.

Printed particulars are preparing, and may be had 10
days prior to the sale, at Morrison's and the principal
Hotels in Dublin and Cork ; the Waterloo, Liverpool ;
and the best Hotels at Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester,
Birmingham, and York ; at the Offices of Messrs. Bick-
nell and Roberts, Lincoln's Inn ; the Auction Mart ; and
at Mr. George Robins's Office, London.

THE WHITWELL ESTATE, IN YORKSHIRE,
Always esteemed as one of the most eligible and compact
in the county—it includes Nine Farms of One Thousand
Fire Hundred and Fifty-seven Acres of Uncommonly
Fine Land—the Farm Houses of a Superior Class—the
Entire Village of Whitwell—the Whole Lordship—and
the Whitwell Inn and Posting-house.
The Rental nearly 3,0001. a-year.
R. GEORGE ROBINS has great satis-
faction in announcing that he is directed to SELL
by AUCTION, at the Mart, in London, on THURSDAY,
the 13th of August, at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot, a
highly important and singularly desirable FREEHOLD
PROPERTY. It comprehends
THE WHITWELL ESTATE,

WITH THE WHOLE LORDSHIP AND ENTIRE
VILLAGE,
desirably situate twelve miles only from York, and on the
direct road. to SCARBOROUGH, (a fashionable and
much-frequented WATERING PLACE,) and Marlton
and Whitby.
The Estate embraces so many and such important qua-
lifications, that it will be impossible to compress them in
the confined limits of an advertisement. Enough, how-
ever, will be said, it is apprehended, to enlist the serious
and immediate attention of the great Capitalists, and more
especially those whose.property is in the Funds;, for it will
not be doubted that the exceedingly high price must ren-
der a re-action at no distant period quite certain, and the
very cause which necessarily will diminish the one will in-
crease in the exact proportion the value of Land, and espe-
cially such an Estate as the one now presented, to which
the most sceptical could not hazard an objection. It
includes NINE FARMS CONTAINING

1557 ACRES OF SUPERIOR LAND,

PRODUCING NEARLY THREE THOUSAND
POUNDS A-YEAR,

With Farm-Houses and Buildings as may safely challenge
rivalry.—The tenantry are not merely resrectable and of
long standing, but contented and affluent. To demonstrate
this assertion, it is only necessary to add, there is not, nor
has there been, even in times (happily gone by) of Agri-
cultural distress, a solitary arrear of Rent; to which may be
added, it possesses the great desideratum of being
FREE FROM TYTHE, and EXTRA-PAROCHIAL.
The Residence is of an unobtrusive character, it pretends not
to a comparison with its mighty neighbouring compeer, the
EARL OF CARLISLE'S AT CASTLE-HOWARD,
although it does not yield to it in internal comfort.—From
the Terrace walk the views are indescribably beautiful,
and a Panorama is presented, equalling in its extent and
varied scenery, any thing in this favoured country ; the
prescribed space forbids a lengthened detail. The magnifi-
cent Minster at York, the Ruins of Sheriff-Hutton and
Crake Castle, are the most prominent. The more distant
view extends far beyond Harrogate, and is terminated only
by the range of Yorkshire Hills. Such is the faint and
imperfect outline of the advantages exclusively belonging
to the Whitwell Estate; and it may be observed, in con-
clusion, that it offers one of the most eligible and safe in-
vestments that has ever been offered to unreserved com-

petition.
The WHIT WELL INN and POSTING-HOUSE,

A most comfortable abode, and the first stage from York
to Scarborough, forms a part of this valuable Estate. It
can be viewed until the sale, by application• to Mr. Jacob
Stubbs (one of the respectable tenants;) and particulars,
with Lithographic plans annexed may be had at (one
shilling each,) tea days prior to the Sale, at Etridge's
Hotel, and the Black Swan, York; the Bull Hotel,
Scarborough ; the New Talbot, Mahon ; the Angel,
Doncaster; the White Horse, Tadcaster ; the Waterloo
Hotel, Liverpool ; of Messrs. Capron, Rowley and Weld,
solicitors,. Saville-place ; J. Humphries, Esq. Ripon; the
At!ctiun Mart; and at Mr, Gm liobina'a Moss ignudwa.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULY 7.
• EX-PARTE CHARLTON.

This was a petition of a person named Charlton,
who had been bankrupt, and it complained of va-
rious acts of misconduct on the part of the assignees
—namely, that they had over-paid the solicitor of
the commission; that they had retained large ba-
lances in their hands instead of applying them to the
purposes of the commission; end that they had
omitted to make dividends at the proper times. The
petition prayed for an account ; that the money that
had been overpaid should be refunded ; and that,
according to the statutes,. the assignees•should be
charged 20 per cent. interest on the balances they
had improperly retained in their hands.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR, after hearing Counsel,
was of opinion that there had been most culpable
neglect on the part of the assignees. He should
order, therefore, that a general account be taken of
the balances which the assignees had retained in
their hands, upon which balances he should order
them to pay 20 per cent. according to the prayer of
the petition. The money which had been overpaid
to the solicitor must be refunded forthwith, and the
costs fall upon the assignees.

There are 177 causes entered fbr trial at the
present Azsizes, of which 46 are from the North and East
Ridings, and 131 from the West Riding. Of these, 11
h:►ce special juries, eight from the North and East, and six
from the West Riding.—York Chronicle.

COMPRESSED WAISTS.—The young ladies
of Medina County (United States), among ether means
of preventing the too frequent use of ardent spirits, have
resolved that they will not receive the addresses of any
young gentleman who is in the habit of using spirituous
liquors. The young gentlemen in the same neighbour-
hood, by way of retaliation, have resolved that they will
not seriously pay
their addresses to any young lady who
wears corsets. If whisky has slain its thousands, corsets
have slain their tens of thousands. American Paper.

We would particularly direct the attention of
those who are concerned in pulling down the build-
ings in the neighbourhood of Exeter 'Change, to the
present state of the house at the east corner of
Southampton-street. It will be recollected that the
greater portion of the end and part of the front walls
of this house gave way a few days ago, and fell into
the open space towards the Strand, involving the
destruction of nearly every article-within, but fortu-
nately without any loss of life. Since then some
props have been placed against parts of the remaining
walls, but they are so slight as to afford scarcely any
protection to those who may have occasion to pass
near, or who thoughtlessly walk under. A very
large portion of the wall in front of Southampton-1
street is in such a state, that its fall may be caused
by the slightest movement of the heavy flooring and
other wood-work which are hanging from it on the
iaside. The fall of these would necessarily precipi-
tate
an immense mass of brick-work into the street;
and yet there is not a shoring or prop of any kind to
prevent the destruction of human life, which, in all
probability, would be the effect of its fall in the day
time, when so many are carelessly passing under.
In the course of yesterday we saw a number of
boys at play in front of this wall, 'and so near as
that if it gave way their instant destruction would
have been inevitable. There was, besides, a con-
stant passing' repassing of men and women,
who seemed to be too much occupied with their
respective affairs to look up at the tottering mass'
frightfully impending over them. Surely the safety
of human life ought not to be thus risked; for in
proportion to the reckless confidence with which
the busy bustling throng daily move through our
crowded thoroughfare, ought to be the care of those,
who are paid for it to guard them against risks such
as this we have noticed. If the salaries of persons
whose business it is to see to these things were
stopped in cases of accidents happening from the
falling of old and neglected buildings, we should
not have so often to record the melancholy details
of human suffering which they occasion.-11forning

GRAND JUNCTION WATER COMPANY.

SUPPLY OF WATER.

A very numerous meeting of the Proprietors
in this undertaking was held yesterday, at the
Company's offices, in Brook ,street, Grosvenor-
square. The meeting was specially convened,
for the purpose of taking into consideration the
necessity for an alteration being made in the
Company's source of supply, and also the im-
portant communications which had taken place
upon the subject between the Right Hon. the
Secretary of State for the Home Department
and the Board of Management.
WILLIAM CLAY, Esq. in the Chair.
The CHAIRMAN stated the objects of the
meeting, as narrated above, and requested Mr.
Coe, the secretary, to read the report. It was
in substance as follows :

Adverting to the report of the Select Com-
mittee of the House of Commons, in which it
was stated " that many of the complaints re-
specting the quality of the water are well founded,
and that the supply ought to be derived from
other sources than those now resorted to," the
Directors state, that so strong had been the feel-
ing excited by the report of the Select Commit-
tee against the Thames water within the London
district, they conceived they should be guilty of
a dereliction of duty, did they not strongly re-
commend a change to be made in the source of
supply, feeling convinced that whilst the Com-
pany continued to draw their supplies from the
present source, it would be almost impossible to
satisfy the public as to the purity of the water.
After numerous surveys had been made along
the line of the river Thames, facilities for pro-
curing of water from Richmond, by means of the
boundary cut of Kew and Richmond-gardens,
presented themselves. This arrangement re-
quiring the assistance and sanction of Govern-
ment, the plan was immediately communicated to
Mr. Peel. That communication, among other
things, stated that near Kew-bridge, on the
Surrey shore, a deep and wide cut commenced,
and which served as a boundary to Kew-gardens,
running parallel to the Thames to within 400
yards of Richmond-bridge. At this place the
Company respectfully solicited. permission of the
Crown to lay a pipe ; this, it was conceived,
would not at all injure the Crown lands. The
application expressed the firm belief of the Board
of Management that this source of supply would
satisfy the public, and concluded by disclaiming
the wish or intention of obtaining from Go-
vernment any sanction either as regarded the en-
terprise or any consequent trifling advance of
rates. To this application a letter was received
from Mr. Milne, of the Woods and Forests, ap-
pointing an interview between the engineer of
the Company and Mr. Aiton, superintendent of
Kew Gardens. The result of this interview was
an assurance from Mr. Alton that the plan was
both eligible and practicable. Immediately after-
wards a letter was received from the Under Se-
cretary of State, informing the Company that it
was apprehended the adoption of the plan would
render works necessary which might interfere
with the enjoyment and privacy of the gardens
and pleasure-grounds at Kew. To this letter
the Board of Management stated that they did
not contemplate forming any works whatsoever
on the spot, nor would the arrangement require
the entrance:of a single individual to the gardens.
This was followed by another letter from the
Woods and Forests, requesting the transmission
of a plan and section of the intended operations :
these were sent accordingly. The Chairman of
the Company, Mr. Clay, had an interview with
Mr. Peel, who suggested the propriety of the
different Companies coalescing, and of employ-
ing Mr. Telford to examine and report whether
any and what improvements could be effected in
their supplies. Mr. Clay expressed his willing-
ness to do this, so far as regards the Grand
Junction Company. Pending these.proceedings,
Mr. Peel himself wrote the following letter to
the Board of Management :
Gentlemen,—On the termination of Par,
liamentary business, my attention has baau re-
called
to those important questions connected
with the supply of water to the metropolis which
have recently undergone consideration in the
House of Commons, which have been the sub-
jects of the reports of a unission appointed
by the Crown and a Committee of the House of
Commons, and which I have no doubt will
again form a topic of serious discussion so
soon as Parliament shall resume its labours in
another Session.

A reference to what has already passed on
this subject; and a deep conviction pf its import-

Pursuant to the suggestion of Mr. Peel, the
Directors sought a conference with the Directors
of the Chelsea and West Middlesex Companies,
in which they declined the proposition of the
Hon. Secretary for the Home Department.
All idea on the part of the Companies obtain-
ing leave to lay a pipe on the Crown lands at
Richmond having been negatived by his Ma-
jesty's Government, the Company procured a
site a short distance from Richmond, and so
many miles above the reach of the London
drainage, as in their opinion would set at rest the
purity of their site. The cost of such plan was
estimated at about 80,000/. To meet this
10,0001. was proposed to be taken from the re-
serve fund ; other available assets would form a
fund of 60,0001.; a creation of shares would
raise the balance. By thus removing the source
of supply ten miles higher up the Thames, and
also filtering the water to be delivered, a small
increase of rate might fairly be levied.
Several Proprietors lamented the non-concur-
rence of the Government in the plan proposed,
and after thanks to the Chairman the Meeting
adjourned.

MANCHESTER GOODS MARKET.

MANCHESTER, AUG. 5.--in my letters to

you at the commencement of the year, I ventured
to state my apprehensions that the trade of 1829
would not equal that of 1828 ; but having en-
tertained an opinion that the withdrawal,of the
one-pound notes would of itself occasion great
depression, and being jealous that preconceived
notions might influence my view of facts and the
inferences to be drawn from them, I did not
state all my fears, but allowed my representa-
tions to be somewhat softened by the very con-
fident assertions which were made by well-
informed and keen-sighted persons, that trade
daring this year would not be worse than it had
been during the preceding year. You will re-
collect, however, that I said, that taking the most
favourable view, notwithstanding the addition that
had been made to the power of producing
goods, the whole quantity produced would be
sold for a less amount than the quantity produced
in 1828 sold for ; that the manufacturer, if be
did the same amount of business, would do it
for less profit ; and that the weaver, if he ob-
tained the same quantity of work, would work
for less wages. The event has been more disas-
trous, not merely than—correcting my own views
by those of others—l represented, but infinitely
more disastrous than my most gloomy anticipa-
tion ; and I may venture to say, that never since
I knew Manchester and its trade—and I have
known them 18 or 20 years—has the condition
of the whole mass of its population, emplonrs
and employed, been so wretched and sc, -hope-
less. In 1826 we had indeed a period of great
depression and distress ; but it. Was so obviously
the result of the mad speculations of the preced-
ing year, that people saw they could not return
to a sober state without undergoing the necessary
penance. Since that period there has been no
excitement ; things have gone on with most titer .
cantile propriety ; speculation has been un-
known ; failures have been almost unknown ;
and saving that increased power of production
which attends the improvement of machinery,
unattended by the opening of new or the exten-
sion of old markets, there has been nothing to
distinguish the period from the soberest in the
history of the manufacturing districts. Men
cannot, therefore, say now ,4 we only want co»,
fidence in each other." They cannot say " here
is a panic—let us be patient till it be over."
The distress has come upon them gradually, and
they see no prospect of its removal. In 1826
the country was in the situation a a man vs bo,
having broken his leg, was totally disabled for a
time, but had the prospect in a few weeks of

weaker and weaker, and feels hope sinkin-
With-
in him as time advances,
Such are the di ;saeartening views that force
e
themselves ur-ui - me in looking round me on the
state of this thickly-peopled district. Even
tl-oa little instances of brisk demand, on which
were built the representations that, on the whole,
things were not so bad as they were called, are
disappearing. Even coarse yarns for exporta-
tion,—exponed at a price scarcely exceeding per
pound the price of the raw material,—begin to
hang heavy on the hands of the spinners. In
short, without entering into the partial demand
for this, and the slackness of demand for that
article, and the failures here and the failures
there, every thing is gloom and despondency...-.
