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 thr years ; and at a Shilling
an Acre for as many years er as may be required. A
man whose capital extend o £lOOO cannot fail to realise
an independence at a rai ay pace ; and even £5OO is suf-
ficient to hold out at encouragement. There is no
time now for delay This spring, that is in June, Scot-
land, England, an reland should furnish their quota of
honest jolly agrit'ulturists, who will have great encou-
ragement from Mr. Robins, if their credentials be satis-
factory.

The following is a succinct statement of the property :
It is situ:,te in

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE,
not two degrees from the mouth of the Knvsna, 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 sheen,
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,

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 hurthen can enter at all times, and take cargoes on
board four miles up the river.

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 increasinz in all parts of the
Colony, and it is sail, from the frontiers alone,
