THE RIGHT HON. LORD MONSON,
DECEASED,

to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, on THURS-
DAY, the 25th of April, at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot,
A MOST IMPORTANT LANDED INVEST-
MENT,

Freehold of Inheritance, and uniting very many substan-
tial advantages—
FRITH'S BANK, and
EARL'S CROFT ESTATES.
Are situate within two short miles of
THE BOROUGH TOWN OF BOSTON :

one of the best markets extant, surrounded by capital
roads, and adjoining water carriage to all parts of Eng-
land. The Land in this vicinity has, from days of yore,
been proverbial for its superior quality ; it grows the best
Wheat and Oats, and the Pasture is famed for its capa-
bility in fattening Bullocks very quickly, and those who
are at all conversant in the soil of the land will know how
to appreciate these important facts.
The whole is occupied by a tenantry of long standing as
tenants-at-will ; it will, however, be exceedingly desirable
to make in this respect very considerable alterations.
The Farms are used in their ancient state, and are infi-
nitely too small. Sound judgment will direct that they
be divided into five or six, instead of the present number ;
it will then be a matter of great facility to provide sub-
stantial Yeomen to get rich upon this greatly favoured
soil : bat Mr. Robins would fail in his duty to the Public
if he did not state that the Houses and Outbuildings
throughout the Property are greatly in need of repair ;
indeed, the suggestion he would venture to make is, to
rase them to the ground, and with the materials, and less
than £2OOO, Three First-rate Abodes, with corresponding
farming premises, replace the present works of antiquity.
It should be observed that there is a saving clause
to this proposition, inasmuch as Robert Scarby's abode
and buildings need no outlay whatever, and this is the
largest farm.
THE PROPERTY NUMBERS
TWELVE HUNDRED AND FIVE ACRES,
INDEPENDENTLY OF THE TITHES UPON

THE ESTATE.
THE WHOLE WITHIN A RING FENCE,

besides the unpretending, but really comfortable little
Public-house, known as the " Monson Arms," where
" mine host" Eno knows and practices what belongs to
the entertainment and comfort of his friends.

The next important point will be to direct a purchaser's
judgment to the rental. The clear yearly receipt for years
back has been £2660 a-year. The times having varied,
Mr. Robins has' subjected it to a careful personal survey,
and he is not a little pleased to proclaim a very welcome
fact, that when the outlay already noticed is accomplished,
the property will very readily produce, with an unexcep-
tionable tenantry, from £2700 to

TWO THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED POUNDS
A YEAR.
The division of the soil is very encouraging ; there are 521
acres of capital Grazing Land, 230 acres of excellent
Meadow Land, and 455 acres of soil congenial to Wheat
and Oats; the former yielding five and six quarters and
the latter from seven to ten quarters per acre. Now this
representation of the Estate cannot be charged with co-
louring the Landscape beyond its deserts ; and it may be
well to remind such as were last year sceptical in respect
to the corn-laws, that the agricultural horizon is no longer
clouded by doubt or uncertainty—the manly, judicious,
and unequivocal declaration of Sir Robert Peel ought to
quiet the apprehensions of all those who desire to see the
agricultural and manufacturing interests go quietly in
harness together, without any undue partiality. Indeed,
his declaration is so encouraging, I cannot do better than
quote his own words—it will, or ought to silence scepti-
cism

I NEITHER HAVE, NOR DO I CONTEMPLATE
ANY CHANGE WHATEVER IN THE
CORN-LAWS."

To conclude, Trustees, and all persons having their capital
deposited in the funds, will do well to ponder, and to ex-
ercise their understanding, and the result must (or ought
to be) that Three per Cents. at 98 is a fearfully high and
unnatural price as compared with Land which will now
return a clear income of Three and a Half per Cent., with
prospective views exceedingly delightful, when placed in
juxtaposition with the Funds.
Printed Particulars may be had twenty-eight days be-
fore the Auction, at the Peacock, Boston ; George, Stam-
ford ; and Peterborough ; the George, Grantham ; of Mr.
BROWN, the Agent, South Carlton ; of Messrs. ODOM
and LUMLEY, Solicitors, Carey-street ; the Auction
Mart; and at Mr. GEORGE ROBINS'S Offices, London.

EMIGRATION TO THE CAPE OF GOOD
HOPE.
LAND AT SIXPENCE AND ONE SHILLING

PER ACRE, AND NO TAXES.

All those who propose to emigrate will do well to enlist
under the banners of a good landlord, in a genial, healthy
climate, and with prospects of independence nowhere else
so cheering and so certain. Mr. George Robins's terri-
tory consists of 43,000 Acres of Land, and not far from
several ports. and contiguous to the sea. It is to be di-
vided into Farms suitable to the views of the rich, the in-
dustrious. and the poorer class of society. He requires
no rent for twelve months ; then he propose to let it for
Sixpence an Acre only, for three years ; and at a Shilling
an Acre for as many years after as may be required. A
man whose capital extends to £lOOO cannot fail to realise
an independence at a railway pace ; and even £5OO is suf-
ficient to hold out great encouragement. There is no
time now for delay. This spring, that is in June, Scot-
land, England, and Ireland should furnish their quota of
honest jolly agriculturists, who will have great encou-
ragement from Mr. Robins, if their credentials be satis-
factory.
_ _

The following is a succinct statement of the pro-
perty:—
It is situate in

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE,
not two degrees from the mouth of the Knysna, a navi-
gable river for vessels of 400 tons, ten miles inland;
seventy miles from the port of Beaufort, and three hours'
ride only from the beautiful district of Swartland. The
Land is principally pasture, with a few thousand acres for
corn and wine ; it is admirably adapted to depasture sheep,
and the Merino 'Wool is highly appreciated in England.
There are Vineyards, and the Cape Wine is very fine.
The Madras Cavalry are entirely supplied from the Cape,
as well as the Mauritius and St. Helena.

Slabberts Poort it is called, a most improveable Estate,
and in the hands of Englishmen, or more especially, a
few

FIRST-RATE SCOTCH FARMERS,

would soon become invaluable. Its position is on the
direct road to the frontier, where a profitable business
might be carried on independent of farming. It is near
the ports of Massel Bay and River Knysna. The latter
will probably soon be opened by the completion of a pro-
jected road from Beaufort district to it. Vessels of 400
tons burthen can enter at all times, and take cargoes on
board four miles up the river.
There are at the Cape
ENGLISH SHEEP FARMERS,
with moderate capital, say from £lOOO to £3OOO each,
who have, within the last two years, located themselves in
the Colony ; and it is not a little gratifying to behold the
fine flocks of well and cross-bred sheep, so abundantly,
scattered about; a convincing proof that the grazing qua-
lities of the land are adapted for cattle as well as sheep.
The wool flocks are fast increasing in all parts of the
Colony, and, it is saki, from the frontiers alone.
ONE MILLION OF POUNDS. AT LEAST, WILL

BE EXPORTED THIS YEAR.
The Cape must soon
FORCE ITSELF INTO NOTICE,

for the investment of capital and introduction of labour,
THE NEW TARIFF
IS A MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE,

and the time of its introduction most apropos. The Co-
lony will now export in large quantities Salt Provisions—
Pat Oxen are produced there at £4, or id. per lb., the
hide worth 20s.

This is a grief outline of the advantages in perspective
for men of character and small capital.
The prospect is much more cheering than to Australia,
where such rap►d fortunes are being made.
A Printed Prospectus, giving an insight -into all the ca-
pabilities of this Property may be had, and principals will
meet with great encouragement, by applicat►on to Mr.
GEORGE Ron'Ns's Offices, Covent-garden, London.
