IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA

A MOST IMPORTANT PROPERTY for those of MO-
DERATE MEANS, and who would EMIGRATE SUC-
CESSFULLY, HOLDING FORTH TEMPTATIONS
of the most ENCOURAGING KIND/as the LANDS
ARE FERTILE BEYOND COMPARISON, and SUP-

PORTED by NATURAL AUXILIARIES 'NEARLY
INFINITE.
'4R. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to OFFER to
.IVI. PUBLIC COMPETITION and peremptorily, at the
Auction Mart, London, on TUESDAY, July 23, at Twelve
o'clock, in Lots.
The FREEHOLD LANDS included in this important
SALE, extending to
FIFTY THOUSAND ACRES,
will be divided in Lots, from
TWO HUNDRED TO TWO THOUSAND ACRES
IN EACH ;
situated on the main left hand fork, of the Big Sandy River,
which is a branch of the

MIGHTY WATERS OF THE GREAT OHIO,
in the Commonwealth of Virginia, intersected in every di-
rection by
INNUMERABLE CANALS,
which empty their tributary waters upon the confluence of the
BIG SANDY AND OHIO RIVERS ;
directly in the neighbourhood are
RISING TOWNS, GOOD MARKETS, NAVIGABLE
RIVERS, AND NATIONAL TURNPIKE ROADS.
There is a direct communication by steam to
NEW YORK, ORLEANS, PITTSBURGH, RICH-
MOND, BALTIMORE, AND WASHINGTON.
THE VAST RAILROADS, HAVE C 19MMENCED
under the sanction of Government, who have contributed
FIFTEEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
towards their completion. They are now fast approaching
maturity, and run through a large portion of this elegible
property.

The lands are in Csibell and Kanawha counties. They are
fertile almost beyond belief, the soil adapted to the pro_
duction of every thing that is useful and necessary for city
consumption—viz., Barley, Wheat, (averaging 30 bushels per
acre), Rye, Oats, Cotton, Potatoes, Maize (averaging 60 to
100 bushels per acre), Turnips, Hay (crops two tons per acre),
Hemp, Tobacco, Fruit, and Vegetables, in the greatest pro-
fusion and perfection. They are also peculiarly adapted for
RAISING OF CATTLE
of all kinds, and three years absolutely
DOUBLE THIER NUMBER.

Industry and a little capital, therefore, are alone wanting to
render this one of the
FAIREST AGRICULTURAL PORTIONS OF THE

GLOBE,
in a climate, it must be remembered, remarkable for its
salubrity and invigorating Powers, and the Country, in point
of Health,"unsurpassed ; besides which, it may be called
THE LAND OF PROMISE,

from its extraordinary ;;lineihtiustible discOveries and na-
tural productions.
FOR THIS CHARMING COUNTRY
is not only rich in beautiful and picturesque scenery, but
abounds in objects interesting to the Naturalist and Anti-
quarian, inasmuch as the mineral and fossil wealth is no-
where to be equalled, and iron, stone, coal, lead, limestone,
&c., are found in every part in the greatest abundance ; and,
what is now of first-rate importance to the emigrant, in point
of profit or revenue, most valuable and continuous Salt
Springs are to be found on every Acre of the Estate. From
the minerals on this property a fruitful source of commercial
enterprise may be contemplated. It should' be observed that
religious worship is unshackled, and there is
A TOTAL ABSENCE OF TAXES, ALSO
VAST TRACTS OF VALUABLE TIMBER,

consisting of enormous oak, maple, poplar, and other trees,
which add in a large degree to the already large profit, being
n great demand for ship-building, steam-boats, and exporta-
tion.
It may, therefore, be stated, in great confidence, that this
sale will secure to those of
VERY LIMITED MEANS WEALTH WITHOUT

RISK ;
possessing only the essential requisites of industry and talent.
A farmer having saved even from £2OO to £3OO from the
wreck of his fortune will find at this sale an opportunity to
realise all his bright an& early anticipation. It is not a specu-
lation founded on theory, experience has demonstrated that
it is a moral certainty, and, consequently, a mechanic pos-
sessing £2OO or upwards, may confidently appear at this
auspicious sale.
One single fact will convince the sceptic that the United
States are sought as a resting place of nearly all emigrants :
during one month no fewer than
SIXTEEN THOUSAND PASSENGERS
arrived at New York, and the ratio drawn from the above is
that should emigration thus proceed, New York in half a
year will possess half a million more foreigners.
Particulars may be had at the Waterloo, Liverpool ; the
Manchester Times Office, at Manchester; the Hen and
Chickens, at Birmingham ; the Auction Mart ; and at Mr.
George Robins's Offices, Covent-garden.
The title is clear beyond the possibility of doubt, being the
original grants from the Virginian Government in the year
1795.
