An Immense-Sale_pf really Fine Wines, sold under peculiar
advantages, the quantity approaching 100,000 bottles.
GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to SELL by
IYJ. PUBLIC 'AUCTION, at the Commercial-rooms, in
the City of Bristol, on Thursday, May 21, and two following
days, at Eleven for Twelve o'clock punctually,
A GENUINE SALE OF
EXCEEDINGLY FINE WINES,

highly important to all those who are amateurs of Port in its
pure unsophisticated state. By this fortunate circumstance
the public, and more especially those who patronise the
growth of the Alto Douro, will have the power to replenish
their cellars with wine of the most rare and estimable quality ;
it is an especial case, and one quite unlikely ever to occur

again.
As this sale of bottled wine exceeds in quantity any by-
gone auction, it may be well to give a succinct statement of
the cause by which it is intended the public will be so much
benefitted. The house of John Wintle and Co., of Glou-
cester, having, declined business, and being in a state of in-
dependence, they, hart. commissioned AI r. Robins to make an
experiment siroihit' toqhe rreter-ttkv,be4orgotton one-at. Li-
verpool of Mr. Knowles—a reminiscence arising out of that
event will not be out of place.
The reader may remember that in the year 1832 Mr. Ro-
bins was honoured by havint.,-* been selected by that eminent
house to sell Six Thousand Dozen of bottled Wines, which
had been deposited in bond wider the surveillance of the
Customs. The result of this sale has inclined the respect-
able clients whose cause it is his present duty 'to advocate,
to follow in this judicious track. The finest vintage that
high reputation and ready money could accomplish was pro-
cured, and cargoes of bottles dispatched to Oporto. The
consequence of this great mercantile operation will speedily
be put to the test, inasmuch as the sale is to be free from any
protecting price. It is in the original cases as imported, and
has been about 18 months under the vigilant inspection of
THE REVENUE OFFICERS,
In a large vault of fine temperature, under
QUEEN SQUARE HALL, IN BRISTOL.
It is essential to observe that this
EXTRAORDINARY FINE BATCH OF PORT WINE
is from the favourite vineyards of Geo. Sandeman and Co.,
and was deposited a considerable period at their Wine Lodge,
in Oporto. It was observed, when its departure was first
announced, that it was one of the finest shipments that had
left the Douro. The total quantity exceeds
EIGHT THOUSAND DOZENS.
FirstlY, and of one quality, there are
FIFTEEN HUNDRED CASES,
of three dozen each. This wine is delicate and high flavoured.
Also, ELEVEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTY CASES,
of three dozen each, the flavour very fruity. The sale corn-
Prebends an aggregate quantity far exceeding any previous
auction. Near

100,000 BOTTLES OF FINE OLD PORT,
continued in the original packages of three dozens each, as
bottled in Oporto, and to which Mr. Robins earnestly en-
treats the attention of the public, and more especially those
who appreciate fine old port ; and he would add, they are not
.a little indebted to his spirited clients for having established
(after great exertion and perseverance) the admission of wine
bottled in a foreign country, in British bottles, to entry and
use for home consumption, upon the payment of the duty
upon the wine only.
The week previous to the auction will be set apart at the
vault in Queen-square to afford all those who shall be so in-
clined to taste gratuitously, and admire at their leisure, this,
the largest and finest stock of bottled port in England.
A sample case of the Wine, containing three dozen, will
be sent to any part of England, to be charged at the average
price of the sale.
The Catalogues will be ready seven days antecedently • to

chester Times ; the York Herald Office, York ; the Leeds

Its approach, by a lodge of pleasing design, is from the
sigh London, Edinburgh, and Glasgow road, through a
finely wooded park. It is erected of stone, and is accounted,
for its size, one of the most imposing buildings of the vici-

pretensions of the generality of houses in Yorkshire. The
pleasure-grounds are disposed in admirable taste, with
romantic walks progressing through the hanging woods, by
the side of the beauteous river.
