VALUABLE ESTATE IN SCOTLAND. KINCARDINESHIRE. Valuable and Extensive Estates, with Splrndid Mansion house, in the County of Kincardine.

All the Estates adjoin, and contain 7,851 Imperial Acres, of which upwards of 5,000 are Arable, about 640 in Wood, and the remainder in Pasture and Moor Ground, a great part of which is improvable. The whole lies contiguous to the town and sea-port of Stonehaven, to which there is excellent access by the two great south turnpike roads, which run through the pro perty, and capital commutation.roada intersecting the same. 00. Dunottar there is a splendid modern Mansion house, with extensive walled garden, hut-houses, and ex cellent office-houses. The greatest part of the property holds of the Crown, and affords six freehold qualifications in the county. The present rent is upwards of 5,000/. per annum, and when the leases expire a very consider able rise will be obtained, particularly on several of the large Farms held on life-rent leases granted between forty and fifty years ago. There are seventeen Acres of Land in the town of Stonehaven and immediate vicinity, which may be feued orlet on building leases to great advantage. The Game having been carefully preserved for many years, these Estates aff , rd shooting superiot perhaps to what is to be bad any where in Scotland. Pheasants, hares, and partridges, are in the greatest abundance ; there are plenty of roe-deer ; ,and snipe, wild duck, and rabbit shooting, is nowhere to be surpassed. Fowlshough, a range, of grand romantic rocks, where there is excellent sea-fowl shooting, is on the property ; and one or two capital trouting streams, run through. the Estate. The teinds are valued, and nearly exhausted ; the land-tax of Dunot tar and Fallside is redeemed ; and the public burdens are moderate. These Estates are so well.conuected, and com bine so many advantages, either for investment, or as a place of residence for a wealthy proprietor, that it is in tended to dispose of them in One Lot. But in the event of a sale of the whole not being effected soon, the property 'Will be disposed of in Four Lots. Lot Ist, Comprehending the WEST PART of DUNOT TAR (with the Mansion-house, Gardens, Offices, and Policies;) LANDS in and about Stonehaven ; with the MILL INN, one of the best frequented in Scotland. Dusottar House is a most beautiful and convenient place of residence, containing the most ample accommo dation which any Nobleman's or Gentleman's family can require. It is in thorough repair, and is situated in a fine lawn, surrounded by thriving woods and plantations. At a suitable distance from the house, and concealed by a wood, is an extensive 'set of stable's, coach-house, dog -ken nel, &c. The Policies are laid out with great taste ; and the gardens, hot-houses,- and pinery, which are extensive, are stocked with every variety of trees and plants, in full bearing. The Mansion-house is within sixteen miles of Aberdeen, and one mile of Stonehaven, where there are txcellent markets. The mail and three stage-coaches pass o and from the south daily. The Aberdeen and Leith SteaM-vessels call off Stonehaven within half a mile of the harbour, and a fine steam-vessel which_ sails between Aberdeen and London makes the passage in little more than two days. The extent of this lot is 2,066 Acres Arable, 501 of Wood, and 990 of Pasture, &c. Upset price, 95,0001. Lot 2d, Comprehending the EAST PART of DUNOT TAR ESTATE, measuring 953 Acres of very valuable Arable Land, 48 of Wend, and 256 of Pasture, &c. Up set price, 30,000/. Lot 3d, FALLSIDE, measuring 59 Acres of Arable, 83 of Wood, and one of Moor Pasture; lies five miles front Stonehaven, by the Laurencekirk turnpike road, and on which there is a comfortable dwelling-house, with garden and offices. Upset price, 3,0001. Lot 4th, Gmiprehending the whole of BARRAS, LITTLE BARRAS, and LEYS, measuring upwards of 2,014 Acres of excellent Arable Land, five of Wood, and S7O of Pasture, &e. This lot affords an excellent invest ment for capital. On each of the lots there is a corn mill, with water-power and drying kiln attached. A large proportion of the purchase-money may, if required, remain in the purchsser's hands. Upset price, 513,0001. For further information apply to Messrs. Hunter, Camp bell, and Cathcart, W. S. ; or to Messrs. Andrew and Alexander Jopp, Advocates in Aberdeen, in whose hands complete plans and rentals of the estates may be• seen. This heautifal and very extensive Estate, cornprehend'ng, upwards of 108,000 Acres, is situate in 'the southern dis trict of the county of Inverness, in the centre otthe High lands of Scotland, and nearly at an equal distance from the east and west seas. The rent payable at present is 49121. Is. The public burdens are moderate; the teinds v tined and exhausted in the parishes of Laggan and Alvie, with but a small balance subject to an augmentation of stipend in the parish of Kin,gussie. The whole Lands hold of the Crown, and afford above seven Freehold qualifica tions in the county. - The Estate possesses many advantages, which cannot be easily detailed in an advertisement. Although principally a grazing country, and adapted 'more for sheep and black cattle than for growing corns, yet it has great capacities of improvenient as an agricul tural district, and along the banks of the river Spey, through the wii . ole extent of the Lordship, there are very extensive tracts of fine natural Meadow, with a number of Ai able Tarcas in - a high state of cultivation. Limestone rock abounds in it, and Slate Quarries have been found in the bids in different parts, though not hitherto very ex tmsive'y wrought. There is also strong reason to believe that in one dis trict of it, extending from the Burn of Gynag, at the vil• lage of Kingussie, to the Burn of Tighnacaintb, there are veins of lead ore, specimens haring been dug up by an ex perienced mineralogist some years ago. The Estate forms one of the finest shooting tracts in Scotland, there being throughout its whole extent an un common abundance of game. Grouse and ptarmigan are plentiful ; the forests of Gaic and Druinuachter are full of red deer; and wild ducks, snipes, and plover are numerous in the marshes and fenny lands along the river. There are several lakes and pieces of water in the dishier, abounding with trout of various kinds, char, and p;ke ; and although at a great distance from the sea, salmon find their way up the Spey in the early part of the year, and may be caught, by the rod throughout the season. This Estate, tbererore, may be considered either as a valuable investment of [money to a capitalist, or as a pe culiarly desirable purchase for a sportsman. Should the lordship not be sold as a whole, it will af terwards be divided into the. following Lots, for the ac commodation of intending purchasers : Lot Ist, Commencing at the march of Lochaber, and lying on both sides of the River Spey, comprehends the following FARMS, vis. :—Moy and Kyleross, Garvamore, Garvabeg and Shirrabeg, Shirratnore, Dalchully and Tur fadown, with Kylarachel and Cratbycroy, to the Burn of Aitmarkie, including a proportion of the Hill Grass in Drumin, as will be marked off by a land surveyor, and the boundaries, when fixed, pointed out on the spot. The present rental is 11951. Lot 2d, Lying on the north side of the river Spey, and extending from the Burn of Altmarkie to the river Calder, comprehends the following FARMS and GRAZINGS, viz.—Crathymore and Mill, including Balamisbaig and Coull. Blargymore, with Island-Du, Croft Carnil and Croft Croy, Gavrgask, Gaskbeg, Gaskmor, Balgowin, Ovie and Achmor, including a proportion of the hill grazings in Drumin, on the south side of the Spey, as will be marked off by a land surveyor, BeaEdmore and Coronach, with the grazing on the north side of Loch Eric. The present rental is 967/. Lot 3d, Lying on the south side of the rivers Spey and Mashie, comprehends the following FARMS and GRAZ INGS, vis.—Strathmashie, Druimnoird and Mill, Blar ovhecr. Rr eic hnpiw. r 'sr:oy awl Ca: ~tic}.3% Lit" - :Dal whinnie, Shanvall, Nessentuliy, Crultanmor, Crubanbeg, Presrnuckerroch and. Druitninlaggan, Cockburn Croft, with the whole of the Hill Grazings in Drumnachter.— The present rental is 10251. 10s.. Note.—The above three lots are in the parish of Lao.- gan, except the farm of - Bealidpior , Which is in the parish of Kingnssie. Lot 4th, Comprehends from the Burn of Strone to the march with Belville, at the Burn of Tighnacaimb ; the FARMS and GRAZINGS are, Ballaehroan, Pitmaieand Inn, Ardbroilachd, Village and Lands of Kingussie, Gar roliue, Boatman's Croft, Meal Mill ofKingussie, Breackary, Kerroumeannach, and Laggan of Kingussie. The present rental, including the I:u-duties of the village, is 9101. 11s. Lot sth, Comprehends the three ploughs of Ruthven, with the forest of Gaic, lying en the south side of the Spay; the FARMS and GRAZINGS are Druimgelavie, Knappack, Ruthven and Crofts, Brae Ruthven and Mill, Gordon-hall and Gaic. The present rental is 5451. Note.—The above two lots are in the parish of Kin gussie. Lot 6th, Comprehends the following LANDS lying be twixt the marches of Dunachton on the west, and Dalcaddie on th , :ist, and on the north side of the river Spey, in the parish o.Alvie, viz. : —Pitichiren, Pitourie, and Dullifour. The present rental is 2561. Also to be SOLD, the ESTATE and BARONY of KINCARDINE, lying in the united parishes of Kincardine and Abernethy, and county of Inverness, and consisting of upwards of 12,000 Scots Acres. This is a peculiarly desirable purchase for a sportsman, Glenmor, with Lock MorHob, which are embosomed with in its hills, affording facilities for shooting and fishing that are not often to be found in the Highlands of Scot land. The highest range of the Grampian Hills bounds it on the south and east, Strathspey on the north, and the romantic scenery of Rothiemurcus on the west. The forest of fir wood that formerly grew in the Glen, was of the largest dimensions, and of the finest quality that ever was seen in the island, and was sold to-an Eng lish Company about fifty years ago for a sum of 10,0001. Having been all long since cut down, the ground is again replanting itself, and at present there is a very fine ap pearancellihriving natural young wood nearly of the same extefirZi formerly, and which, in progress of years, will become of great value. The lands and grazings are rented low, amounting only to the sum of 3981. lOs. but the investment of capital here is to be looked to less as pro ducing immediate income than future advantage. The search for precious stones in hills so far-famed and well known as the Cairngorm, holds out no visionary induce ment to a purchaser for. attempting to turn this to even tual profit, by a- certain expenditure at first, conducted on scientific principles; and the woods, as they advance, will give a yearly return from their thinnings, independent of the produce of the land.and their ultimate worth. - The public and parochial 'burdens are moderate, the teinds are valued and exhausted, and the valuation in the cess-book affords a Freehold Qualification in the county. Fafther particulars may be learned by application to Wm. Paul and L. Mackersy, accountants, Howe-street, Edinburgh; to Spottiswoode and Robertson, solicitors, Great George-street, Westminster ; Alexander Shepperd, solicitor in Inverness; H. and C. Lumsden, advocates in Aberdeen ; or to John Morison, W. S., Abercromby-place, Edinburgh, in whose bands are the title-deeds. A REAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS. THERE is not, perhaps, in the whole Ma teria Medica any tine Remedy which so effectually relieves the pain of a suffeiing Patient as theAMERIC/6 r SOOTHING SYRUP. Who can watch the writhing tortures into which a lovely infant is often convulsed, during the period of dentition, without feeling sympathy for its sufferings ? And who would hesitate to procure 4 Remedy, when a remedy can be found, which is obvious by the effectual relief afforded in so many distressing cases which are daily coming to the notice of Mrs. JOHNSON ? Thereflire Mothers ought never to be without the AME RICAN SOOTHING SYRUP in the Nursery; for if a Child awakes in the night with pain, by only rubbing the gums with a - few drops of the Syrup, it will immediately open the pores, heal the gums, and th ere by p reven t levers and convulsions; for sho u ld i t come i n compet i t i on w ith any other disorder, it often destroys the mother's brightest hopes.—To be bad, wholesale and retail, of Johnson and Co., 2S, York -place, City-road ; and; by their appoint ment, of all principal Medicine Venders in Town and Country, at 2s. .9d. per bottle. , • .

This fine property extends about thirty five miles in length from Not th to South, and Eight miles in breadth from East to West, containing 56,277 Scotch or 70,746 Imperial Acres of Land, whereof 14,537 Scotch or 18,274 Imperial Acres are Arable, 3,043 Scotch or 3,826 Imperial Acres Low Pasture, and 33,696 Scotch or 48,646 Imperial Acres Hill Pasture, or thereby. The Arable Land is of excellent quality, yielding oats, barley, and green crops of the best description. There is an in exhaustible quantity of shell-sand and sea-weed (inde pendent of the weed used for kelp) on the shores of the Estate, which not only supply abundant manure for the lands already arable, but afford the means to the tenants of bringing many hundred acres of waste land annually into cultivation. The pasture is equal in quality to any in the West Highlands. The cattle reared on the Estate are well known in the south country markets, and have long com ma,rizi gi..t.ttsfp W esc shire. The Estate abounds in ezntment harbours, to which there are goad roads from the imiseur, and the public roads through the islands, as well as ' farm roads, are in the best condition. Herrings annually &event tl'..e numerous lochs inter secting the property, and the cod and ling fishery may be carried on to any extent, the fishing banks being quite contiguous. Deer are to be found on the hills of South Uist, and the lands abound with grouse and other kinds of gains, with all sorts of water-fowl. There are trout in the fresh-water lakes, and abundance of salmon in the rivers. A packet sails twice a week from Loch Skipport in South That, in the middle of the estate, to Dunvegan in Skye, and there is an .easy and constant communication with the Clyde and Liverpool at all seasons of the year, by means of steam-boats and coasting vessels. The rental of the Estate at Martinmas, 1828, was 4610/. 13s. 3d., which may be greatly augmented by the cultivation of waste land, and the partial introduction of sheep-farming, a very extensive tract of hill ground well adapted for sheep grazing being at present in a great mea sure unproductive. About 1300 tons of kelp of excellent quality are also annually manufactured on the shores of the Estate for the benefit of the Proprietor, which, during the war, sold at from 10/. to 15/. per ton, and new sells at about 5/. ss. ton, with every prospect of a rise. The Minister's stipend and schoolmaster's salaries amount only to 1111. 13s. Bd., and the teinds are valued. The lands hold partly of the Crown, and partly of subject superiors ; and one freehold qualification in the county will be sold with the Estate. There is a comfortable mansion -house, with a complete steading of offices, and a large garden inclosed by a stose wall, ten feet high, at Nunton in Benbecula, in one of the most pleasant situations in the Hebrides. In short, a more desirable or more improvable Estate has not for many years been offered for sale in the Highlands, and no better invest ment for capital is anywhere to be found. The whole Estate will he exposed to sale at the upset price of 120,000/. Should the Estate net be sold in one lot, it will he exposed in the following lots, at upset prices for each lot proportioned to the upset price of the whole Estate above mentioned : . Lot I.

There are few circumstances in the history of lettera more remarkable than the rise and progress of the Waver ley Novels. Unlike most other productions of genius, they had no infancy to struggle with, hut reached at once the highest point of public favour,—a station which they have ever since maintained with undiminished popularity. The circulation of these works having been hitherto con fined. in a great degree, to the wealthier ranks of society, the Proprietors have resolved to place them within the reach of readers of all classes, by republishing them in a less costly, but at the same time more elegant shape, and with the additional advantage of a periodical issue. The Publishers have therefore the honour of announcing the speedy commencement of a New Edition, to be pub lished in Monthly Volumes. In this undertaking they have had the cheerful co-ope ration of the Author himself, who has not only revised every one of the Novels, but has added Explanatory Notes, and a new Introduction to each of them. The nature and extent of these Corrections and Addi tions;will be b , ,st understood by giving entire, from Volume First, The AUTHOR'S ADVERTISEMENT. It has been the occasional occupation of the Author of Waverley, for several years past, to revise and correct the voluminous series of Novels which pass under that name ; in order that, if they should ever appear as his avowed productions, he might render them in some degree deserv ing of a continuance of the public favour with which they have been honoured ever since their first appearance. For a long period, however, it seemed likely that the improved and il:ustrated edition which he meditated would be a post humous publication. But the course of events, which oc casioned the disclosure of the Author's name, having, in a great measure, restored to him a sort of parental control over these Works, he is naturally induced to give them to the press in a corrected, and, he hopes, an improved form, while life and health permit the task of revising and illus trating them. Such being his purpose, it is necessary to say a few words on the plan of the proposed Edition. In stating it to be revised and corrected, it is not to be inferred that any attempt is made to alter tho tenor of the stories, the character of the actors, or the spirit of tho dialogue. There is no doubt ample room for emendation in all these points, but where the tree falls it must lie. Any attempt to obviate criticism, however just, by altering a work already in the hands of the public, is generally un successful. In the meat improbable fiction, the reader still desires some air of " vraisemblanee," and does not ..-7;0- _l4 L., altered to suit the taste of critics, or the caprice of the Author himself. This process of feeling i® so natural, that it may be observed even in children, who cannot en dure that a nursery story should be repeated to diem dif ferently from the manner in which it was first told. But without altering, in the slightest degree, either the story, or the mode of telling it, the Author has taken this opportunity to correct errors of the press and slips of the pen. That such should exist cannot be wondered at, when it is considered that the Publishers found it their in terest to hurry through the press a succession of the early editions of the various Novels, and that the Author had not the usual opportunity of revision. It is hoped that the present Edition will he found free from errors of that accidental kind. The Author has also ventured to make some emenda tions of a different character, which, without being such apparent deviations from the original stories as to disturb the reader's old associations, will, he thinks, add something to the spirit of the dialogue, narrative, or description. These consist in occasional pruning where the language is redundant, compression where the style is loose, infusion of vigour where it is languid, the exchange of less forcible for more appropriate epithets—slight alterations, in short, like the last touches of an artist, which contribute to heighten and finish the picture, though an inexperienced eye can hardly detect in what they consist. The General Preface to the new Edition, and the intro ductory Notice to each separate work, will contain an ac count of such circumstances attending the first publication of the Novels and Tales, as may appear interesting in themselves, or proper to be communicated to the public. The Author also proposes to publish, on this occasion, the various legends, family traditions, or obscure historical facts, which have formed the groundwork of these Novels, and to give some account of the places where the scenes are laid, when these are all together, or in part, real ; as well as a statement of particular incidents founded on fact ; together with a more copious Glossary, and Notes expla natory of the ancient customs, and popular superstition., referred to in the Romances. Upon the whole it is hoped that the Waverley Novels, in their new dress, will not be found to have lost any part of their attractions in consequence of receiving illustra tions by the Author, and undergoing his careful revision.

A very numerous meeting of Shareholders in this un dertaking- was held at the City of Loudon Tavern, Wm. SMITH, M P., in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN said the Pr , prietors had been convened under rather extraordinary circumstances, viz., to consider of a proposition submitted to the Directors for completing the work by contract. He moved that the report which had been drawn up should be read. Mr. BUTLER, the clerk, read the report. The CHAIRMAN alluded to the state of the Company's finances, but (wherry" that if the 'funnel waa - w iu►u pleterl they might never expect to see any return for the capital advanced. Mr. WOLLASTON said the estimate made by Lord Al thorp to the Duke of Wellington was over-stated, his Lord. ship having stated that se,OOOL would be required to complete the tunnel. He entered into some details to prove that so large a sum would not be wanted. He spoke strongly against persons being allowed to make experiments on the tunnel, and was of opinion that the work should be completed, as it had been begun, and moved a resolution to that effect. ➢ir. flAwEs (a Director) spoke warmly in favour of the resolution. Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON (a Director), and several other Proprietors, addressed the Meeting. Mr. SWEET thought that if it were supposed at head quarters that another engineer than Mr. Brunel was to ho employed, the assistance from Government might be with. held. It was then resolved to adjourn the Meeting. It was confidently reported in the Court of Chancery yesterday that the SoLtaTon-GicalEaAL is to succeed Sir Wat.
