I i .THE FONTHILL PROPERTY. i • ' YII E AIL}IY. .......... : Or; Saturday, at five o'clock in the evening, the • exhibition of Foothill Abbey closed. The throng of rompany . llueing•the whole day was prodigiolii. Early even in the morning, the picture rooms were suffocatingly .hot end crowded; snit; tor:hrd. the • afternoon, notwithstanding a smart rain which came nn, there was nothing like free ino., ig in any past of the Abbey. No doubt a great deal more mousey might hove been taken if the place had bees. kept open longer. The exhibition of 'Foothill, however, it over. and no Tuesday the trade commences. An East India merchant has - been down here, who offered to nue r hove mansiwn as it shunts and estates alto getturr. It appears, however, that his terms have not been acceded to. Earl Grosvenor has, it is said, offered three hundred thousand pounds for she whole property, independeut of the rarities! tint ,Ir. Beckford has refused !open with it for less than three hundred and thirty thmirand pounds. It is probable that his 1.M.614 will he the par . oiutser, as the licgocintion is still pending. Mrs. I 'nuns is also spoken of as having heated fur the property. upon a hich it is reported that she Inis a . ronriderable mortgage. Whoever becomes the final possessor, might, tiodouhtectly, to take the effects. lt moat have required a whole life of opulence um' of active taste/10 collect them. Why does file. Beckford sett effects which he seems to hove ro highly riled ?" is is question which every body asks, dud many persons answer. Some assert that he has been taken in by jobbers in al articles winch he purchased at high piicer, mind that in order to get rid of there, he has thrown in some few things of sterling value. Now this really is not the case.' By far the greater portion of the effects are of massive and genuine richness. A few of the pictures there are, indeed. in which lie inny have been deceived. There is also too much old-fsslitoiled chimpAreve ; some jsprimed articles might be pointed out which must have hero little less than :in encumbrance. But the cutiost lies in gold, silver, amber, sardoisyx, ivory, rock crystal, soil el y , are, beyond all question, of con summate (scanty and great value, and form altoge llf f the choicest collection in this or perhaps any sillier cottony. Others again say that his taste has totigu-d itself in motets of this description, and C:st. he is now more anxious about increaring the 'limber of his books, and perfecting the original design of the Abbey. than any thing else. 'Those, however, are perhaps more near the truth who impute the sacrifice which Mr. Bet•kford has , resolved to make, to hard stud inesorrible meet,- • slily, rather than to ney mere exercise of volition. 'Every body is aware that the chief part of that princely income which enabled loins to raise this expensive edifice from the foundation, was de v:ved from hie paternal estates in the Weld In al es. Such was the wealth which those estates at one time produced, th it it obtaiued for Ins grandfather the distinction of bring considered the richest pulij•ct in Europe. Fur the bast ten vests tiny have tlecheed very materially, and se ( veral of them have beets entirely lost through a de feet that lied been discovered im the title. The original purchaser obtained there in the way tif man gier, and having foreclosed them in 211 untechnical snootier, advantage has been Julien of the infor mality by the heirs of the mortgagees, and Mr. Bvelcford has been dispossessed. The defence of list title, sod the other consequences, involved him iu lotwes and vast expense; lurid** which the reve sine from his unquestionable estates in those islands • kr.: declined to kw; than the one-tenth of what it formes ly was. These things. added to the deteriora tion of his landed property at hoots., the reduction of rents, and the incalculable unpile of motley which the Abbey, its superb furniture, and the improve ments of the extensive grounds around it, cost were sufficient. it would seem, " to weigh a royal merchant down." This is the most probable ac count of the business; sad indeed it is said in the •sieighbourhood, that for the last six years the pro per/or of Funthill has beets 6. a distressed man." • Certain it is tbat within that period lie curtailed his establothmrtit considerably, and suspended the 'rooks which trete going uu its the earstera part of the Abb-y.

The following extrao includes an highly eplrr• taining slid curium derctiption of the ruins of Per sepult,, and of the splendid embellishments of two sopa palaces lately rarected by the reigning Monarch. " lit architecture, as well as sculpture, the ancient Pervious surpassed their descendants. Such at least is the opinion we are authorised to form by the ruins of Persepolis, Shuster, and Kendjaver, and the remains or the prince of Khosni. in the ancient Ciesiirlion. The principal architectural works of the present day are the domes and mina rets of the mosques. The ceilings and domes are 14 1 exquisitely finished as to excite astonishment. and it is frequently the case, that more labour and expense are bestowed on the decoration of a ceiling than on all the rest of the edifice to which it belomzs. " The most magnificent of the remains of anti. quity in Persia, fruits which some inference may be drawn respecting the state of architecture in that country two or three thousand years ago, are indis putably the ruins of Persepolis. They are situated its the plain of Merdasht, one of the most fertile in Prints, to the left of the road leading from Ispuhan to Slinuit. Let the render figure to himself the side of. mouribriii tho hardest marble, presenting au unequal area or platform, twelve hundred feet in length, and sixteen /wedged and ninety in depth, cut perpendicularly, and surrounded with a wall faced with marble, 4,000 feet in circumference._ Let the imagination place on this terrace, porticoes. column., walls, flights of steps, the whole of marble, without any apparent mixture or stone; edifices vying in dimensiont and in the majesty of their de. tails with the most perfect works of antiquity ex. taut ; aqueducts hewn out of the solid rock ; lastly a mountain cut perpendicularly through its whole length, and forming its eastern wall. Such was in past ages the general appearance of the temple or palace of Persepolis. The genius of destruction isiw hovers round this terrace; earthquakes have changed the face of it ; the hand of man has asst. duously overthrown what they have spared ; the eye now discovers nothing but fragments of walls, de. Inched door-ways ; columns partly in ruin ; the ground strewed with fragments of shafts, capitals and blacks of marble ; while heaps of send and dust are daily covering more and snore of these struc tures, whose remaining masses astonish the imagi. nation. The mosque, the caravanserai, and the dwelling of the Persian are decorated with their spoils ; the tonnes of the Mustilmun conqueror and of the European traveller are placed beside tho.e inscriptious, the origin, signification, and wedge. like character of which will exercise to no porpore the sagacity of the learned. The aqueducts are become receptacles of rainwater, or the haunts of noxious animals; the camel and the mule crop the wild herbage that grows among the mitts; while the stork peacefully builds her nest on the column of the temple of the de►ty, or of the palaces of kings. " Sufficient reinaius are yet left to prove that the Persians had carried architecture to a high degree of perfection long before th►e Greeks. The figures which *dont the surface of all the wal!s, if not sculptured according to the direct rules of design nr perspective, nevertheless bespeak au able and ex. prrienced hand. Their her, throughout the whole of she ruins, is estimated at about 1,300, The ruins of Persepolis are now knowu by *levered denomination. as Talchli-Djentshid, Omni, of Djervisbid ; Kuashs.L)a►a, house of Dare or Ds. Tins; liczar-Sontown, the thousaild columns; Tarlac!. illinar, the forty colors'''. The orieutal lustoriatis are out agreed respecting the founder of these magnificent stitictures : the moat generally received opinion attributes them to Djernshid, a Sovereign of the Pishdadtan dynasty. " A curious specimen of the architecture or the middle age is found at the ruinous city of Solistria, in an unfinished building, begun by Sultan hf►lahomed K hodabund in the fourteenth century, as a shrine for the. remains of the Caliph Ali and his . son Hossein, which he intended to translate thither from their former burial-place, and thus make Swinton a point of future pilgrimage for the frothful of his own empire, as Medina had been fur Mosulmaus in general. The Sultan, however, did not live to complete his design, and his oval ashes occupied the place. " The centre of this once splendid but now mooldeeirig edifice, is surmounted by a douse up wards of 130 fret in height. The whole interior of the building presents one uninterrupted space; but to the south is a large distinct chamber, choked up with rubliish, under the floor of which, as Sir K. Potter was informed, are three immense vaulted 'DOWN the entrance to which is hurled under the sepensicainhent rubbish, and in one of which stands the tomb of the founder. The Mettle of the whole tworapie is beautifully painted, and tiled with varied porcelain. Much gilding is yet to be seen upon she upright mid transverse hoes of decoration, among which it is void the whole Koren is written iii ornamented characters. The whole building was formerly enclave& within a square of 300 yards. " 111 illustration of she present ►tate of archi tecture in Per►ia, wet ►hall subjoin a brief account of two palaces erected within thew few years by the !Oriel Sovereign. w The first of these, TilitAti-Carljer, the throne of Übe Cadja►, is situates! two miles .math-eatit of Tells.. lf st does nit display that royal magnificence which characterises the edifices erected by the Sofia, still it cannot be denied that We situation, and still mare the arrangement of this sumwer•paluce, reader tt a truly delightful ralresit. " 'lskille-Cstijsr. whets viewed at a distance, ap pears to be of peodsgious height, but, us you op pooch it, the illusion is d►gelled, sad what you took fur stones of one and the mime building, are Mond to be terraces raised one above another. The entrauce is a simple grtewey surmounted by a pseihnii ; it lends into a spacious court, she middle of which is occupied by o principal alley, bordered oil cash side by young cypresses and implore, and intersected by is ►tone canal. The prioci. pal kali:mon, like all the Persian houses, is cow• posed of a rpradialigular court, and whirls is a series of halls and apartments of dittererit ifornerorions for V 4. 111 , 1111 purposes. But the inost agreeable part of the Takhti•Cadjar is a pairthosi or belvedere at the top. It is Imola in a simple style, hut highly de. cirated, and co rands a moat delicious view, The ablest motive artists have beers employed to • adorn this retreat with paiulings, meanie-work, sod varnishing and it it worthy of remark, that here are to be seen the portraits of seteral European ladies among those of Peisiau female.. The trig_ doses are admirabh• painted ; the door., of exqui.ite workwiamillip, are hued wit iinotations from lite poets engraved upon ivory. On the walla of the other apartment are to he teen portraits of the Sovereign and his female favourites. '• The Negisuristan is soother royal palace in the same direction, but only half a mile distant fiont the city. Its proximity, as well as in. superior beauty, often induces the Shah to walk thither to enjoy relaxation from the cares and cerernoine. of state. The general character of the g.ifileit is like that of Cadjar, only the grand ;scour us much wider, and is terminated at the higher rxtrcmity by a view of the palace, while a temple appears here also between the spacious arcade of trees. Narrow secluded walks, shaded above and enamelled with lowers below, with cuts of Cirlir and spas kling water, ►ilvering the ground and cooling the air, vary the scene from p.mg which neglect or taste slimm ing graceful negligence, has left in a state of ro mantic wildness. " On my first entering this bower of fairy land (says Sir Robert Porto), I was struck with the ap pearauce of two rose tree., NH fourteen feet high, laden with thousands of flowers, in every degree of expansion, and of a bloom and delicacy of scent that imbued the whole atmosphere with exquisite perfume. But in this delicious garden of IStegau ristan, the eye and the smell are not the only senses regaled by the presence of the ruse. The ear is enchanted by the wild and beautiful notes of mul titudes of nightingales, whose wirblings seem to increase in nielodv and softness with the unfolding of their favourite flowers. At the upper end of the garden is a small finitsslicully-built palace, enclosed in a little paradise of sweets. This building is of light architecture, newly circular, full of elegant apartments, brilliantly adorned with gilding, ara besques, looking-glass, and flowers, natural and paroled iu every quarter. Some of the largest sa loons are satlitiouilly ornamented with pictures, portraits of the Shah and his sons, of the chief per. sonages at Court, anti also of foreign Minister. The carpets and nurnutuds of there epirtmeute ate of the most delicate Nbrtc. " But the place of greatest attraction to an orients' taste, is Cite stammer bath. This bulls saloon, or court, is circular, with a rust basin in the centre, of pure white marble, of the ssnue shape, and about sixty or seventy fret in diameter. This is filled with the clearest water, sparkling in the sun, for its only canopy is the vault of Heaven ; but rose trees, with other pendent shrubs, bearing flowers, cluster near it, and at times, their waving branches throw a beautifully quivering ►hade over the excessive brightness of the water. Round the sides of the court air two ranges, one above an other, of little clistnbers looking towards the bath, and furnished with every refinement of the Harem. These are fur the ueciiiiimadistion of the Woes who accompany the Shah dining his oceastionsl sojourns at the Negsuristim. The royal master ft/qui-101y takes his noontide repose in one of the upper cham ben which encircle the saloon of the brill ; slid if he be inclined, he lids o ily to turn his eyes to the scene below, to behold the lowliest objects of his tenderness spoititig like Naiads its the crystal stream, and glowing in all the bloom Dud bril liancy which belong io Asiatic youth."
