- street, city of Richmond, will offer to the highest
bidder. at public auction, on Friday the 21st To-
stant Tor notes with approved endorsers, negotiable
and payable at the Bank of Virginia, in equal install
tire and valuable stock of H-4RDE.lRE, IRON'
.uOWGERY, CUTLERY, sc. sc. sc. compri-
sing general and unbroken assortment of almost
every useful and saeabe article in these branches of
business, and many which are not now to be procur-
ed from any other store In the Union.
An Object, which the existing state of political
Affairs has rendered of paramount importance calls
the attention of the subscriber to the part
OF tho state, and obges him. very reluctantly to
linqush business which for years past he has
found to be as safe, lucrative aud annually ncreas-
ing. With the stock therefore, the most eligible
stand for vendng it which the city affords, is the
command of the purchaser, while the stock by its
magnitude and the scarcity of many of the articles
composing IL, will merit the attention of those who
may be already engaged in this business, in the diff
ferent commercial towns within our Canes The
two objects united will be sufficiently attractive to
those young men, who with credit and responsible
connections, but wanting in capital, will here fnd an
establishment, as respectable as it is profitable.
The Goods may be viewed and examined during
the three last days which shall precede the SALE and
any further information obtained application as
boye.

CARACAS GAZETTES.

We have been favored with file of Car

public of Venezuela, to the 18th November
inclusive. They maintain the interesting
character We before gave them. The king

was advancing from Carthagena against St.
Martha but proclamation inviting the ma
tives of St. Martha to join the confederation
had proceeded the army; at the same time
intima,ing that powder would be burnt ii ne

the new government in Valencia, had return
ed to the Caracas, accompanied by the gra-
titule of the magistrates of Valencia, express
sed in very handsome address: The papers
are repete with discourses on the establish
met of the Republic and against the lnqul-

CHARITY REQUESTED.

We the subscribers, consulting with
members from each Of our Churches, con-
corning the necessities Of the poor at this
inclement season, have agreed, in order
to raise fund to supply their necessities.
that Charity Sermons be preached, and
collections raised
On the first Lords day Of February at
the Methodist Church, by DIR. Muir.
On the second Lords day of February
at the Episcopal Church. by Mr.. Roberts.
On the third Lords day of February at
the Presbyterian Church, by Mr.. Meade.
The time Of raising collections in the
other Churches, if thought proper, shall
afterwards be fixed upon, and duly an
nounced.
We do not doubt but an inclination to
relieve the needy exists among US, which
will appear when the channel is opened,
through which that relief may flow.
We plead for the poor. They arc your
brethren. What they now feel, you, in
reverse of circumstances may feel. An
association exists with which we are con-
nected, and which has been engaged In
the distribution of charitable donations
for more than year. A leading object
with this association has been to ,acquaint
itself thoroughly from time to time viii.
the number and nature of the wants OF all
the poor of the place, in order to faith
full and iudicious distribution Of such relief
as may be entrusted to its disposal. Thro'
this channel, private as we'll as pubic
contributions, either in money or neces-
sary articles. we believe would be applied
to the best advantage. TO it, therefore,
we beg leave to invite the attention ct the ]
