IT IS NEARLY ALL TITHE-FREE; AND THE TENANTRY BOTH WEALTHY AND RESPECTABLE. AN IMPERATIVE SALE. MR. GEORGE ROBINS feels much gratitica tion In having been preferred to OFFER for PUBLIC COM PETITION, at the Auction Mart, Loudon, on THURSDAY, the 9th Jnly, at Twelve o'clock, and in One Lot, by direction of the trL:s teesfor absolute sale, one of THE MOST MAGNIFICENT FREEHOLD INVESTMENTS THROUGHOUT ENGLAND And in the description that necessarily must follow, Mr. Robins, without the slightest affectation, proclaims that he ap proaches the task with fear and trembling. The only saving clause by which he can well seek to soften the reproaches of an enlightened and deeply-read community is alone to be found in the liberty the com poser will take with authors so highly gifted, that he must indeed be a bold man who will not yield assent to his researches. Dugdale is no mean authority, and with this, and a few introductory facts, the herculean task must be approached. THE FORD ABBEY DEMESNES are to be traced back to a very distant day, and it has ever since maintained its proud superiority over EVERY OTHER MONASTERY IN ENGLAND. It is a splendidly grand and unique building, altogether realising Lord Byron's glowing description of Norman Abbey-- An old, old monastery once, and now Still older mansion, of a rich and y are Mix'd Gothic, such as artists all allow -Few specimens yet left us can compare. Its classic fron t EXTENDS TO NEAR THREE HUNDRED FEET. The order of architecture is in. the Tudor style, and may be dated about :the: time of henry V4ll. e but to describe it as it deser;tes is felt to be far beyond the reach of the limited .

The dwarfs are three in number, two males and a emalo (brothers and sister) ; they are fally , equipped in the High las.d garb, and I(6erform a series of national, mart 4 al, and lbstive trances. The two males, who are remarkably active, excel in the celebrated Gills Coullam, or Sword Dance ; and so extraordinary is the muscular development of the eldest that he can with ease carry two 561 b. weights about the room. He and his brother exhibit all the positions of the broadside exercise with a precision that would do honour to the first school of fence. And in addition to their other accomplishments, they, in conjunction with their sister, sing the beautiful airs of their native glens with exquisite taste and feeling. As Mr. Mackenzie. who has these singular creatures under his protection, can (in consequence of his other engagements) remain but a short time in town, the admirers of the wonderful in nature are requested to pay an early visit.

THE PET FREEHOLD ESTATE OF THE COUNTY, WITH THE MANOR' ITS EXTENSIVE "RTGIITB," THE ENTIRE HAMLET OF WILLENHALL,, A RESIDENCE '*N 'THE ELIZABETHAN STYLE ; FIVE 'SUPERIOR FARMS, 750 ACRES, WITH A TENANTRY QUITE UNEXCEPTIONABLE. THIS FINE PROPERTY Al PROA'CHES THE CITY OF COVENTRY,• BOUWDED BY TWO RIVERS, ,AND THE TURNVICE ROAD DIVIDES THE PROPERTY. IT IS, RESIDES, ALL TITHE-FREE, AND EXTRA-PAROCHIAL. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is favoured by in structions from the proprietor, to announce for public competion, at the Auction Mart, London, on TUESDAY, the 16th of June, at Twelveo'clock, in One Lot, A FREEHOLD PROPERTY AID DEMESNE, of which It may well be said it has no fear of rivalry throughout this admired county—indeed, the advantages are so many, and press in such rapid succession upon the mind of the composer of this very imperfect outline, that it is . not a little difficult to state where to begin. However, the effort Must be made ; firstly, IT IS DECIDEDLY, FOR ITS SIZE, THE MOST ELIGIBLE, AND CERTAINLY THE MOST COMPACT PROPERTY THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. There can be no aceptlciina hrise out of this assertion. No one can with justice gainshy this high panegyric. It extends to THE WHOLE TIAMLET, TOGETHER WITH THE EXYENSIVE MANOR OF WILLENHALL, which is within two short milei of THE ANCIENT CITY OF COVENTRY. There are I'IVE CAPITAL FARMS', WITH SUPERIOR BUILDINGS 'AND WARM FARM-YARDS TO EACH, AND ALL WITHIN A RING FENCE, TITHE FREE AND EXTRA-PAROCHIAL, extending to about SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY ACRES OF RICH MEADOW, PASTURE, and ARABLE LAND, entirely and strictly within a ring fence, including the prolific wools. The rates are unusually small, arising out of the fast that they are - paid ty a compromise with the • LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY, whose line passes through Willeuhall. The soil is of first-rate quality, as the crops annually demonstrate, and the rick yards verify. Every Farm possesses a superior dwelling, with large garden, and the build ings essential for agricultural purposes are unexceptionable, in fact, everything is in the most perfect apple-pie order.. A microscopic eye could hardly discover a single thing out of place, and with it A TENANTRY THAT MR. ROBINS PROCL AIMS CAN' NOT BE EXCELLED TMROUGHOITT ENGLAND ; AND HEAR IT ALL YE OF LITTLE FAITH IN THE STAPLE COMMODITY OF THE COUNTRY, "THERE IS NOT NOR HAS THERE BEEN AN ARREAR OF ONE GUINEA DURING THE . LAST TEN YEARS." It may now be asked, "Where is to be found a corresponding case ?" AND ECHO REJOINS " WHERE." In respect to the auxiliaries not Immediately sought in the shape of income, it should be said THE ADJOINING MANORS ARE STRICTLY PRESERVED BY LORDS CRAVEN AND HOOD, as alse the Baginton and Brandon property. There is an abundance of game, and field sports extend to dgentleman's fondest desire. The Estate is bounded by two large rivers (the Avon and Sowe), which furnish constant amusement to those inclined to recreate in fishing. THE ELIZABETHAN VILLA is altogether adapted to a gentletban's occupation. It probably might be improve by a finishing stroke from the hand of an artiste. There is, besides, one of the farm-houses where the proprietor would be but too happy to take up his quarters occasionally during the sporting season. The next point requiring a commentary is the rental—it must be premised—there are no leases. The present low rental is 1,5504 a year; but it is quite manifest that SEVENTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR will be conceded as a MODERATE rent, and this should be secured to the PRESENT GOOD MEN AND TRUE, by givng to each a fourteen years' lease. James Mellor, Esq., who has so long domesti cated with his family on the hill, and whose quiet abode overlooks Coventry and its beautiful spires, it would be in bad taste to refuse a lease for his life, although it will probably, and it is to be hoped, he a very long one. Longevity prevails on this healthy property, and some time since this was provs d by MR. BLUE (close by) retiring into a better world, at the advanced age of 108. Mr. Mellor's grounds are beautifully disposed, and more especially the wild flower-garden, (under the worthy lady's especial care), which gives to it a pleasing variety. LORD CRAVEN AND LORD HOOD are dose allies; AND THE ESTATE OF THE BROTHER OF SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART. is close at hand. ...... The farms are very productive in the soil for white crops, especially wheat and barley, with some admirable turnip land ; but as dairy farms, and to fatten bullocks, they have even a higher claim. The contiguity to one of the first markets in England, and the facility to return manure, whenever the good folks of Coventry are indulged with a portion of the produce of this highly cultivated soil, are ad vantages that a good agriculturist will not overlook. And now, by way of conclusion, Mr. Robins will ask, and with earnestness (taking into the scale the great curiosity that prevails everywhere to get into good farms now-a-dsys), if tile every day observation, resound ing now from all quarters, that THEAGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN MORE FRIGHTENED THAN HURT, is not rendered most manifest by the above unassuming recital of facts? The particulars are ready, and will be distributed, with a draw ing, on the plan with the Elizabethan Villa, by Dir. Phillips, jun., of Coventry. His father (the eminent practitioner of this great city) will also take the trouble to give all essential explanation, and appoint a fit man to go over the estate. Particulars also of Mr. Paine, solicitor, No. 4, Furnival's Inn; the Auction Mart, and at Mr. George Robins's offices, Loy-len. :N THE MOST. BEAUTIFUL AND RECHERCHE PART OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE, NEARLY MIDWAY BETWEEN CLIF TON AND THE SEVERN, ONE OF THE MOST PERFECT VILLAS WITH ITS APPURTENANCES IN ENGLAND; AROUND. IT ARE ITS PLEASURE-GROUNDS, A DEMESNE EXTENDING TO 50 ACRES, ALL FREEHOLD AND LAND TAX REDEEMED. 31R. GEORGE ROBINS has pleasure in stating it he has been selected to TRANSFER, without a limited price, at the White Lion Hotel, Bristol, on Thursday, the 25th of June, at One, for Two o'clock, precisely, in Two Lots. A SINGULARLY DELIGHTFUL and altogether a MOST ELIGIBLE PROPERTY. I is well known and highly appreciated as THE SEVERN HOUSE DEMESNE, four miles from Bristol and Clifton, on the road to the splendid river Severn and the passage into Monmouthshire. A description of this villa abode is a matter of necessity, but the writer feels that his representation must necessarily be very incomplete, inasmuch, as although it will be conceded that there are to be found a little host of elegant abodes in progressing through the romantic drive of four miles, yet it is confidently stated that there Ia nothing to present itself that can be put in juxta-position with Severn House. The position is remarkable for the capability it affords to partake in an unusual degree of the extent, and what may really be justly termed TRANSCENDENTLY BEAM IFUL SCENERY. It would almost wee the patience of the reader to extend the descrip tion of all the writer saw, and strived to appreciate, but it is believed a very few gleanings will suffice to call up the attention of all such as would enjoy the pure, unsophisticated air of Gloucestershire, in a villa which it is universally conceded, stands alone both for situation and prepossessing appearance. . . . It'is placed on a I;fty and beauteous eminence, but the luxuriant shrubberies and plantations that encircle it, keep the cold winds at a most respectable distance, and in accomplishing this desideratum, it would appear that fairy land has been sought to aid the great design. On perambulating through these splendid grounds the views am (en verite) magnificent, and the extent almost without a limit. THE CONFLUENCE OF THE SEVERN AND THE AVON is immediately in view, and the perpetual moving scenery in the dis tance must be seen if the reader desires to appreciate it, for it is quite certain this imperfect account will leave an immeasurable host of ob jects entirely disregarded.

Clifton, the great feature of Gloucestershire, is close at hand, and becomes an auxiliary that It would be an injustice to overlook. The neighbourhood is prone to good-fellowship, but if the fortunate occupant prefers quietude and repose to the gaiety that will d him, hemay enjoy it here uninterruptedly. All the gr e at i su o rr ns ou o n ithecounty are close at hand. THE FANIED PIERCEFIELD is only a short drive, and Barnsville-park, a minor candidate for fame, is not far off, the verdant scenery which interposes itself in the progress to these highly commended properties extends over a vale so rich and lovely that its beauties seem to exceed the powers of commendation, and be it remembered all this (and very much more than has been asserted in this brief analysis) is within four hours' pleasant drive of the metropolis of London. This delightful abode ha. not yet been noticed sufficiently. " THERE IS THAT WITHIN WHICH PASSETH SHOW." It is a building of considerable pretensions in its outward and visible signs; and a family, although numbering very many, will find the most ample accommodation within; it may be added, that it lacks nothing that can be understood in the comprehensive term of com fort. The out-offices are most complete throughout, the court yard is worthy of admiration, and a sporting gentleman will find in the stabling and coach houses all that ingenuity can suggest. The kitchen -gardens are very extensive, inclosed by lofty brick walls, and the soil is exceedinglyProlitlo; the fruit is considered unusually high flavoured. THE lIOT AND SUCCESSION-HOUSES are quite perfect, and the produce is beyond praise.

'Tis really surprising to see what is done By the public—in favour of MOSES and SON. Not only do thousands with wondering eyes Behold the gigantic establishment rise, But thousands on thousands in multitudes press To purchase E. MOSES and SON'S summer dress. The public seem bent on a noble endeavour To back Messrs. MOSES and SON more than ever. And why this astounding amount of success ? Because in return they aro studied in dress. Would torrents of patronage constantly flow If the public derived no; advantages?--No. In price, and in style, and in quality, too, E. MOSES and SON are resolved to out do ; And that's why the public have thus done their part To MOSES and SON at their spacious new Mart.

However, these preliminary remarks must arrive at a conclu sion ; the form prescribed to the length of an announcement will not ad mit of more, but the writer promises, in his printed particulars, to go into a little historical statement that will be acceptable, at least to the learned, and all such as are well versed in our history ; and he is fortunately enabled, by the assistance of a very highly talented lady, to aid the historical account of Dugdale by selections of her own, and guided by ajudgment and cleverness that has never been held in doubt. To gratify the learned and the curious in distant parts, Mr. Robins has determined to append to the explanatory par ticulars of the several farms and lands a plan of the whole, with a beautiful drawing of the Abbey, to be ready six weeks antecedent to the sale. The situation of this monastery is familiar to most of rs. It is on the borders of the three fine counties of Dorset, Devon, and Somerset, 15 miles from Taunton, 3 from Chard, about 50 miles from Bristol and Bath, and within a delightful ride of 5% hours from London, which the approaching railway through Chard will reduce to about 4 hours, and also bring it within fifty minutes' ride of Exeter. The county in which the Abbey is placed will not yield to any other. The reader needs not be reminded that, in days of yore, the taste of the monks In the selection of their lands was never questioned, and, amidst all the good things of this world, they were remarkable for the accuracy -of their judgment. In selecting the best of everything, even THE FAT OF TIIE LAND was not ACCOUNTED TOO GOOD FOR TIIEIR REFINED TASTE. This princely property is all freehold of inheritance, surrounded by lawns and pleasure-grounds, with gravelled walks between rows of umbrageous trees of great size and stateliness, interspersed with or namental waters, cascades, and waterfalls sparkling with foam, and here and there a statue to diversify the scene. The Park, which is one of great beauty, is stocked with deer, whose venison has ob tained the highest celebrity for its fatness and fine flavour, while the soft undulating foliage of its magnificent and NOTICE TO EQUITABLE POLICY HOLDERS. U NITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, No. 8, Waterloo -place, Pall-mall, London. The attention of Equitable Policy Holders is particularly called to the HALF CREDIT SCALES of PREMIUM of this Company, by which table the banns to be declared at the next investigation, in January, 1850, may be secured at a pfesent annual payment of one half the rates charged by other companies. In the event of death the sum insured will be paid less the amount ofpremiurns on credit. Should the life insured survive the declaration of the bonus, the policy may be allowed to lapse, and the Company will renounce all claim for the half premiums which may be due thereon , or, in the event of the party being at that time in bad health, the policy can be kept up by commencing to pay the full premium of the age as when first accepted. The above plan, originating with the Company, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last equitable division in 1840, when it was largely adopted. and many of the policies then effected are still in force, and latge bonuses have been added to them on the scale of the following table ; Sum Assured.

TI➢IE-HONOURED TREES is perpetually deluding the eye into a belief that it was of almost boundless extent, and imparting just such an air of tempered wild ness as would gratify the lover of scenery, without offence to those who are inclined to look rather for the evidences of the superintend ing hand of care and cultivation. Indeed everything seems to in crease the charms of a spot so rich in nature's beauties. Of the orna mental waters in front of the Abbey it is recorded— _ _ Before the mansion lay a lucid lake, Broad as transparent, deep and freshly fed By a river, which its softened way did take In currents through the calmer waters spread. THE RIVER AXE so renowned by the disciples of Isaak Walton for its placatory pleasures and delicious trout, winds, in serpentine beauty, through the fair demesne. Lost for a space through thickets veering, But broader when again appearing. It was here that The branching stag swept down with all his herd, To quaff a brook which murmured like a bird. It may stlll be asked, "WHAT MORE CAN MORTALS NOW DESIRE?" The sporting qualities extend to everything a gentleman's heart can contemplate ; by the way, THE MONKS' CELEBRATED WALK is in high preservation. And to omit a panegyric upon THE ANCIENT TAPESTRY THAT ADORNS THE STATE ROOMS would approach sacrilege. It really and truly may be accounted the WONDER AND ADMIRATION OF THE WORLD. It fearlessly challenges a rival ; and the writer is ex ceedingly desirous that the reader should not for one moment charge this description with being too vivid. He may rest assured here is no flight of fancy, but a veri table and unassuming report. This description, it is perceived, has already extended beyond the limits prescribed, and therefore'(with lament) the writer ends this very imperfect recital, merely observing that the terms used by the foundress of the abbey when she tendered to the holy fathers her manor of Thorucombe, in exchange for the barren lands of Brightley, stating it to be " well wooded and fertile," are trebly appropriate in the present day, in proof whereof it may be stated that the Messrs. Fowler, of Grainge Farm (the principal estate), bred a horn ewe in 1833, which weighed IBst. 41b., and for size and beauty it has never been equalled. The tenantry are very respectable, and without cne guinea of arrear; indeed, the l a tt er word could not find a place in their vocabulay. The rent is exceed ingly low. The demesne extends to nearly TWELVE HUNDRED AClti OF RICH MEADOW PASTURE, ARABLE, AND WOOD LANDS, MOSTLY TITHE-FREE, AND TAXES MODERATE. Such is a faithful narrative, that it need not be observed is very un common ; indeed, seeing the abundance of unemployed capital (in spite of the railway mania), and the little value of money, the present is a most influential opportunity of possessing an invest ment in land, which is preferable to all others—for, as it regards the alteration in the corn-laws it has been observed by Mr. Robins, in another notice of sale, a fact which every day renders more and more certain, that WEHAVE ALL BEEN MORE FRIGHTENED THAN mica." There are MANORIAL RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES of considerable extent, and the principal part of the estate is within a ring fence. The neighbourhood is highly respectable ; many Lords and Nobles are amongst those who prefer to domesticate in this admired county, and within a few miles of the abbey, in the ad joining county of Somerset, are the splendid seats of Earl Poulett and Lord Bridport. Markets are everywhere abundant ; in fact, Mr. Robins has taxed his in;enuity in vain to try to discover a fault.

LETTER to the EARL of ELLEN- BOROUGH. My Dear Lord,—When I associate your Lordship's acknowledged abilities with the high station which yon fill, I must have heard with the greatest chagrin and surprise of your Lordship's recent denunciation of Va lentia Harbour, as unsuitable to a packet station. I had been taught for above twenty years, on what I deemed the best authorities, to consider it, under all its circum stances, the best adapted for that purpose in the king dom. In asking permission to tender my humble, but public remonstrance, against your Lordship's doctrine, I feel the duty of abstaining from urging a single point on my own naturally prejudiced and incompetent au thority, and to rest altogether on that of others, per fectly independent of, and exempt from all local or per sonal interest in the question. Your Lordship is described as having given a prefer ence to Cork over Valentia and Bantry. As by your Lordship's avowal the question has not been recently before the Admiralty, I am quite ready to confide, that when it is regularly referred, it will re ceive from your able and Honourable Board, that deli berate and impartial investigation which its importance deserves ; in the meantime, your Lordship has pro nounced a decided opinion in favour of Cork, and I am aware of the serious impression likely to be made on the public mind by the dictum of the First Lord of the Ad miralty. I am much too conversant with the whole of the subject not to be aware, that if Cork be adopted, the effect would inevitably be to make it a mere touching place for an English steamer, to pick up some strag gling Irish passengers and mails, if greater rapidity of conveyance were obtained thereby. Cork is a great commercial port, with a very beautiful and picturesque harbour, and favourably circumstanced for intercourse with England.* It may be also considered one of those totes du pont which, by means of steam, in a military sense, connect Ireland with England. But, that it should be deemed the most favourable position for inter course with the westward (with America for instance), would seem contrary to all geographical science. It would also be in conflict with the best authorities, military and naval. It would be preposterous to suppose that passengers would cross from England to Dublin, and thence by a land journey of 120 miles to Cork, in order to be exposed to a coasting passage of seventy miles of the most dangerous character. It can only have been thought of on your Lordship's sup position, that the west of Ireland is destitute of harbours for packet stations. I had read in our best geographers that the glory of Ireland was in its noble harbours. Why, in looking at the map, the west of Ireland would seem to abound with harbours. Not to speak of the great estuaries of Galway and the Shannon (one of which is just now made a port for East India goods, and the other containing the head-quarters of the steam navy on the western coast), is there no har bour at .Killibegs, nor at Roundstone, nor at Kilrush, nor at Valentin, nor at Kilmacalogue, nor at Beret haven? Ido earnebtly hope, if such a doctrine prevail at the Admiralty, as that there is no harbour in the west of Ireland, some of the very able engineers in their ser vice may be quickly applied to, to ascertain its validity; because it appears to me to involve many points seriously concerning our national security, and the prosperity of Ireland. But, as the objection is made, not merely to a particular harbour, but to the entire western coast, it may be better, first, to consider it in a general point of view. • • In the separate state of England, before the union took place, the importance of departing from its most westerly ports for oar colonies was fully established. On that ground, London and Portsmouth were superseded by Plymouth; and on that ground, and on no other, the Government establishment was transferred to Falmouth (in all respects a very inferior place), because of its being for; y or fifty miles more to the west. On the same principle of a more westerly position, and on ac count of its greater distance from the enemy's coasts, the dockyard of Pembroke was established at enormous public expense. As long as the post-office communica• tions were conducted through Government establish ments, the rule of proceeding from the most westerly ports was inflexibly acted upon. From the moment the union took place, it was clearly within the spirit of that measure s and as unquestionably within its policy, that a packet station for America should be transferred from an English to an Irish port. If one degree of westing should entitle Falmouth to defeat Plymouth and the Admiralty, it is difficult to conceive how the Govern ment can have been justified in not availing themselves of a suitable port five-and-a-half degrees west of Fal mouth, so much nearer to America, and saving such an immense amount of dangerous navigation. Leaving the claims of other harbours to be sustained by their respective advocates, many of who m are power ful in political influence, of which I possess none, I must seek the aid of c e rt a i n independent authorities in favour of Valentin. The Protector Cromwell, who, though out of date, will not be considered obs o l e t e i n anyt hi ng re l a ting to the maritime interests of England, when he had subdued the south-west of I N land, and expelled the Span iards from Valentia, established a station there for frigates and troops, erected forts at the entrances, and placed a garrison on the island. It is cle ar that Cromwell con sidered Valentia the best position from whence to defend the western coast against the piracies of the Spaniards, the enemy of that day. Li 1824, a project was submitted to the Government for the conveyance of mails and troops from Valenti a to Halifax : it was received with the utmost favour by the Government, and, under its san c ti on , an A c t of Parliament was obtained to facilitate the enterprise. The Duke of York declared himself patron of the undertaking, and expressed, through his secretary, Sit ,H. Taylor, his' higli tratification; at the._ advantage to be afforded to the public service from- the qu ick est arid Saf es t conve y ance of troops between the United Kingdom and our colonies.. Lord LiVerpool, then ?rime Minister, assured to the company the'conveyancesof -the mails. A company was formed at Boston, in 182, to buildsteamers to meet these from . Valentia at Halifax. The legislature of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, granted sums of public money for co-oper a ti on w ith th e p ro p ose d company, under theimpression of .the great advantage to those colonies from the rapidity of intercourse with the United King. * I have before me a letter from Sir Pulteney Malcolm, commander of the fleet at. Cove, on board the Donegal, dated Sept. 13, 1832, which says, "They talk of Crookhaven as competing with Valentia ; but although it is more accessible from -England, Valentia is -more accessible from the open ocean." If Sir Malcolm considered Crookhaven too easterly for a western packet station, a fortiori Cork, fifty miles fur ther to the east. PRICE SD. dow, to arise from the adoption of Valentin, which is by far the most westerly harbour in Europe. Mr. M•Gregor, in his very aide work on North Ame rica, points out, and recommends the communication be tween Valentin and Halifax, as •highly important to the mother country and the colonies. The evidence given on oath before the Commissioners of Revenue Inquiry, in 1830, by several distinguished officers and public functionaries, clearly shows the ad• vantage of communication v ith A mer i c a from Valentin. (Vide Parliamentary papers, No. 86, on " Western Har bours of Ireland," printed in 1835 ) A very able American writer, on the " traverse At ]antique," explains the general impreoon in the United States to be in favour of packet communication with Va lentin, not merely as the nearest European harbour to America, but as the most suitable in all respects. A deputation from capitalists of New York (Messrs. Cruger and Goodhue), who examined the harbours of Ireland, with a view to an American packet station, specifically recommended Valentin as the best. Mr. Cobden in his remarkable pamphl e t " E ng l an d, Ireland, and America" quotes, from American publi cations, a decided Opinion as prevailing in the United l railroad tn of to s uc thath' westerly States in fa vour o f Valentin and he powerfully recom fmo r e m n d a s t i t o h n e ar a e ec point ; expressing,h arbour , a and theth e same time, his conviction, that such a project, if com pleted, would secure the preference of voyagers to all parts of North America, not only from Britain Britain but from every quarter o f E urope ; and would offer incal culable advantages'upon Ireland, by introducin g capital, and stimulating industry and enterprise. Mr. Charles Wye Williams, in his. very interestin g essay onllib`ihilinftiihbV Of internal' navigation in Ire . _ _• , land adopts the same view. _._? The printed letter of Admiral Sir Robert Otway strongly recommends Valentia, for an American packet station. Amongst engineers, for a series of years, Mr. Nimmo zealously•urged the recommendation of Valentin. Cubitt and Mr. C. Vignollea.,expressed their conviction in the same way ; and Mr. Vignolles dwelt much on the peculiar combination of advantages possessed by Valentia as a packet station and railway terminus. These eminent engineers had been consulted by the Dublin and Kingstown Railway . Company, a body wholly independent of any local interest in the selection. ➢Zen of science, as well as of the greatest practical knowledge in other countries, have expressed similar opinions. M. Chevalier, in his work on French Statistics, points out that Valentia, from its position, must become the ultimate port of European departure for America . ; and he dwells upon the great results likely interchange arise there from, by facilit a ti ng an d i ncreas i ng t h e of business between the two continents. The Stutgard " Quarterly Review " also expresses an opinion, pre- vailing in Germany, that Valentia will become the chief port of intercourse between Europe and America. The Swedish minister to England, some years ago, described this object as anxiously looked for in the Northern States. The transit of the Atlantic from Valentia had excited more interest in those countries than in the United Kingdom. If any modern authorities have been furnished to your Lordship against the west-of Ireland, I would beg leave to appeal from the living to the dead. My late friends Sir H. Blackwood and Sir P. Malcolm, together with many other distinguished officers, zealously es poused a project for a communicatioh from Valencia to America ; and in order fully to bear out their judgment on the subject, they called for the opinion of that man whom they s deemed, beyond comparison, the most ex perienced and judicious practical seaman in the navy, viz., Commissioner Bowen, for twenty years at the bead of the transport service. He had been Captain of the Fleet in Admiral Christian's expedition to the West Indies. He described the delays as extending over five • months before they cleared the coast of Ireland, during the last two of which, after all was ready, they were shut up in Cork. Being asked what the difference would be if they sailed from Valencia instead of from Cork, be said, " We would have been there in three weeks, and Guadeloupe would have been saved." On the question whether, generally speaking, embarkation should take place on the ocean instead of in the channel, he an swered "No man in his senses could doubt it." With such a host of authoritative and impartial testi monies in favour of western embarkation for our colo nies, it is not easy to conceive how that policy can have (been placed in abeyance for above twenty years—why lthe principle which controlled England, as to her western ports, shall not be applied to Ireland • wby Ireland shall not obtain those advantages to which nature and her geographical position entitle her,:of having the most suit able port on her western shores made the ultimate point lof departure for our col on i es . If h er p rov i nces are p oor , I and her people unemployed, is it con s i s t en t w ith na ti ona l ,justice that she is to be deprived of the practical benefits ;that would arise from making Ireland the transit be tween Europe and America? What imagination c a n !place limit to the advantages which would arise from !turning the tide of human intercourse between Europe land America through her impoverished districts ! 1 Na ture has placed Ireland between England and America. Is it that Ireland should be merely a breakwater in the channel ? Is the impoverishment of Ireland, is it s iion•improvement, is its virtual extinction as a portion ;of the Uuited Kingdom, so decided a state policy, that 4 vast sum of money is to be devoted to passing round nd by Ireland, rather than infringe, in the most minute egree, on the monopoly of England ? But over and above the selection of a packet station, there are other matters of national interest which cannot he disregarded in dealing with the case. The larger and more pressing subjects of a defensive naval station, and a referable point of embarkation for troops, whether for eneral or colonial service (the latter of which more es ecially concerns the Horse Guards), will probably be ptaken into consideration togeth e r w ith th e c h o i ce o f a acket station. I As various considerations apply in common to those keveral subjects, it will probably turn out to be the in terest of the Government and the country to combine them. On the principle of embarking on the ocean, compared With channel harbours, and in direct contradistinction to Pork, I refer to the evidence given by the Duke of Wellington, by Lord Beresford, and by Lord Strafford, before a committee of the House of Lords in 1836, which was printed for the use of the committee. It is probable that no one has had such experience of the disadvantages of embarkation in the channel bar- Sours (Cork included) as his Grace the Duke of Wel lington. I believe the operations of the army on the Peninsula Were very often embarrassed by delays, which would have been obviated by embarkation at an ocean harbour. It can, however, be baldly necessary to refer to any authority beyond common sense for the utter absurdity of depending upon a station at Cork fer the protection, in any respect, for the western coast—the assailable points of that coast are, at an average, 200 miles distant from Cork, and all this a coasting navigation of the worst possible description. In conjecturing the grounds upon which your Lord ship has denounced the whole western coast of Ireland tor packet purposes, I am disposed to think that it may be from some representation as to the force with which the Atlantic bears upon that coast ; but I will submit that, in every departure for America that force must be encountered. The difference, in that respect, between Cork and Valentia, would be, that from Cork a vessel would have to work against the prevailing winds and currents along a lee shore of the most dangerous cha racter for seventy miles, whereas from Valentia, with the same wind, you are in the free ocean in half an hour, without any lee shores at all (the same prevailing wind that shuts up Cork is a free wind out of Valentia) ; that Cork is seventy miles further from Halifax than Valen tia, is, making in the fortnight passage over 3,600 miles in the year; of a desperate coast navigation, involving a fearful amount of danger to life and property.: In this comparison the use of the steam-tug, in either case, suggests itself. The only objections ever a n o rmt h.. a made e t s o t Valentia relates to sailing vessels, would, in three mile s , pl ace a vessel so wind. In that worst case, a s t eam - tu mToakeef f i e t e s t n th or e th sa er m n e or southern Mk in the to en able from Valentia free ocean t o . Purpose from Cork would occupy a steam-tug for sixty miles. It is probable that in a future, as in the past war, the cruising-ground of our channel fleet would be from Ushant to Cape Clear, in which case Berehaven would afford a good safety harbour, or Cork might be suitable, if preferred ai a " head-quarters." It is undoubtedly more comfortable. I recollect the case of an admiral realising 100,0001. prize -money sit ting in his arm-chair at Cove. But surely . it does not follow that the selection of a North A m erican bea- Packet Station should be confounded with the"d q uarters"of our grand fleet to watch the Channel. The latter should be as contiguous to the ene my's harbours as possible, and the other as remote as the nature of the case will allow. Rut there are some para mount national interests to be consulted. The securing the utmost safety and efficiency in the embarkation of our troops, whether for colonial reliefs, or for the gene ral purposes of war, imposes a very solemn duty upon the Government. The occupation of- the Horse Guards by the most illustrious of military men, would suggest the wisdom of consulting his Grace as to the principle on which the soldier should be embarked. Casting aside the control of existing establishments, and looking with the largest view of economy to the comfort and safety of the soldier, and his most prompt - and rapid appliance to his military destination, it will probably be found that the choice most compatible with `colonial and general - service, wilt also be that_ most con • ducive to the military security of Ireland. There are some circumstances, which, even to an unprofessional latisson, must preclude the selection of Cork, for .such a purpose. A station for the general embarkation of troops must include a depot for the mu nitions of war ; it should therefore be, in the fullest sense of the word, defensible against either external or internal attack. As long as we command the seas, our grand fleet makes Cork safe from attack by sea ; but with an enemy in the country, Cork harbour, with all its Government establishments, is perfectly commanded * A strong additional objection to channel navigation is to be found in the fogs which prevail, during which several steamers of value have already been lost, and the dangers of eollisloii; which are in proportion to - the crowded state of navigation in the narrow seas. The comparative dangers of channel navigation may be tested by reference to insurance companies. from the contiguous ground. If the French 110 landed in Bantry, after three days everything in Cork had been taken in six hours. It is impossible to conceive any thing more indefensible, from the land side, than our establishments in Cork ; neither is the vicinity of a population of 80,000 at all desirable to a fortified place. The fact is, that the vast exo:nditur,- of public money in Cork was a total waste, and part of the political job- Eng which prevailed in diose days. No place could be better adapted than COrk, s ith its great commercial rezources, for the provision trade, and the supply of our fleets. 7 /./- In exercising the great public trust of choosing, 'on the assailable side of Ireland, such a position as will combine naval defence wiih military facilities, the Go vernment will surely adopt a searching inquiry ; and if the public money, more or less, be to be expended, they will as surely take care that whatever public works are established shall be in a position of unquestionable security from internal commotion or external attack; and that it is not from the eastern or southern side of Ireland its westcrii coasts can be defended, any more than Cnrk could be defended from the Shannon. England may, in another respect, condescend to take instruction from France. She is about to establish four distiect lines of packet communication across the Atlantic from her western porta to America. Such a wise measure will form a basis for an ocean steam navy. Yet France . has no possessions on the other side of the Atlantic. Has England no interest, colonial or imperial, in acting on a similar policy? Is it that our Governme n t can be in sensible to the vast importance of establishing a counter balancing force of steam navy on the North Atlantic? Will England forego the advantages of our geographical position, which .so much abridges the transit of the ocean. We have at least one harbour, six decrees west of Brest, which can be reached by railroad Is the cir cumstance to be overlooked of placing the periodical transport arm mails and troops remote from the cruis ing ground of an enemy's steamers, and on which it would require the equipment of a consider able force at some hundreds of miles distance to intercept our communications? But if, after all, • the Government shall deem the selec tion of the best possible packet station, and the most suitable _point f o r em b a rk a ti on o f our troops, matt ers o f su b or di na t e i nteresta and shall prefer some paltry economy o f money to e conomy o f t h e soldiers' sa fe ty and cornfort, and that - ell old establish ments, tbOugh .errimeons, shall be continued, and the public service sacrificed to monopolies, and a subser viency to large censtituencieS, *:there will still remain one all-important subject, uponwhich the Government cannot continue t o d e l u d e itself: vast sum of p u bli c Pcion.ey l ass b ee p d evo t e d t o &irtify the English coa s t most opposed te' the possible enemy. In a former war the contemplation of an inva sion led to a plan of arming 400,000 of the population to meet such a danger. Are the British people so degene rate, that whilst her army has never been beaten in foreign countries, they would not furnish a host of brave and loyal hearts, sufficient to overwhelm any foe that dared to violate their soil ? There can, at the same time, be no doubt, that particular parts of our coasts may ad vantageously be provided with works and artillery to embarrass, if not defeat., any attempt at a descent. Of course all our arsenals should be placed in the hest pos sible state of defence, and for that purpose,-extensive lines of fortification are requisite. But after all, an attempt to invade England cannot contemplate more than a temporary effect, or the destruction of some public property, possibly of great magnitude. An occu pation of the country cannot for a moment be thought of —not so Ireland. The popular press of Ireland pro claims that " Englatal's adversity is Ireland's oppor tunity ;" that opportunity would arise in case of an in vasion, and it would be worse than childish to suppose for a moment that a foreign force invading Ireland would find itself in "an tnealv'a cauntry." In the summer of 1798, eleven hundred Frenchmen landed in Connaught, and made such an impression, that Lord Cornwallis found it necessary to concentrate all the dis posable force at his command, to defeat the French and the rfbels who joined them. Another expedition of 3,000 men was soon after an our coasts, but fortunately captured at sea. Uncier the present wise monarch of France. our rela tions with that country may be safe; brit it is incumbent upon the Government to prepare beforehand for a very different state of thing:. The French blunder of in. va ling Ireland by Bantry Bay will never be - repeated; the armament was in truth intended for the Shannon. Every possihle motive, military and naval, indicates the west of Ireland as the assailable line of invasion. If any doubts existed on the subject, our most powerful enemies have instruct' d us. Carnot cud Napoleon not only con sidered that Ireland had very fine westf sly harbours,but . they made a selection of the points at which it might be desirable to pay us a visitd - and assuredly the first step to be taken by France in case of a war, would be l will n a e n ce d s t s h a e r i i r ly fm r r w o e i e n e d d , T f i r z o . 7 s o t m l e e w p - o e i s n t e t r o n f t h h a e r s b o o u u t r h s , an invasion of the west o f I re l an d. A f orce f or }h at pur poseo tFrance, w shuts up Cork and Bantry ; and any effort, even by steamers, from those ports, would be greatly retarded and embarrassed in the attempt to get round the south western angle of Ireland. Even the limited experience of the last two winters proves, what an immense " wear and tear," and waste of fuel, has ensued from the mis chievous fallacy of connecting the western defences with a " head-quarters" at Cotk. It may be measured by the average of time passed by our steamers between Cork and the Skelligs. The avowed hostility of Ame rica, at least its sympathy when occasion shall offer, points to the west of Ireland. When an invasion comes, it will come as a " coup de main," and it would be madness not to prepare for it in time of peace, as what is only wasteful and inconvenient in the operations of peace, would be fatal in war. It is palpable to every professional man, that for an effectual naval defence of the west of Ireland, some position must be taken up upon that coast. The proper force for such a purpose would necessarily be a squadron of steamers of various strength. The western coast of Ireland may be said to begin at the Skelligs The choice of such naval sta tion would, therefore, be restricted to some harbour on the coast of Galway, to the Shannon, and to Valentia. If it be not intended to abandon Ireland, and to court an invasion of its shores, a defensive position must be taken up at some one or other of those harbours. It will have to be considered whether any, and which of these, can be rendered, in a naval and military sense, perfectly defensible—from which the general line of western coast can be most effectually watched and com manded—from which vessels are most quickly and easily released by the prevailing winds—to which can be com municated by signal or telegraph the earliest intimation of the approach of an enemy to our coasts,l and, in which vessels can lie in the best anchorage, with shelter from all winds. These are questions which it is impe ratively the duty of the Government to investigate by the most able and impartial professional authorities. As an essential feature in the western defence of Ire land, I would respectfully solicit a military and naval examination of the question, whether Valentia does not possess the means of being easily and effectually forti fied against any attack, with ample anchorage for a squadron, wliich could not be molested ; and a military position on the island, commanding at once the harbour and the opposite coast, and unattackatle by an enemy, either externally or internally. It, is not cagy to appre ciate the influence which the establishment of a strong defensive squadron in the most suitable western port would exercise on the internal `tranquillity of Ireland. Under all the circumstances, I hope it will not be deemed presumptuous for me to ask, at your Lordships' hands, what your Noble prealceessor promised me, viz., fair play and justice to Leland.—l have the honour to be, my dear Lord, faithfully yours, . THE KNIGHT OF KERRY. * A powerful and well-paid agency has 'been for many years exercised insidiously in hostility to Valentia. There is not a department of the Government that has not been assailed by this agency, which one day or aber may be un masked. t Carnot communicated to the late Colonel Shaw that his plan of attacking Ireland would be in _the Shannon and Gal way simultaneously, creating at the same teimd7sacudsisi,e)nrssioanftbeyr a h r e ka pr b o l p e er objeets menacing Mull; and Napoleon. in his re , _ point of descent. his deposition, stated e of Sh tl a le nn ni on os: r as em t r S is k in d g lig near 800 feet above the sea, in 34 fa thomsh is one of the best possible points for obser- N i - n at:O h l T l eh o e°‘Cree a g i - y a't approach to the western coast of .

Now that such improvements are contemplated in the elec thisetonthe tric telegraph, it would not be extravagant to anticipate that intelligence could be commun i cate d in a few minutes to the Admiralty and Downing-street, from a station 10i degrees west of Greenwich, and upwards of two degrees nearer to America than Cork.

Intimately conversant with all the horrors of the French Revolution—with all the sanguinary and frightful scenes by which its earlier periods' were desecrated—Dr. Croly has here produced a work of ap palling power. It points an important moral to the world, more especially to England—" That in all violent political change the humblest ranks are sure to suffer most; that their bodies are used merely to rill up the trench over which their leaders pass to power; that their severest sacrifices only turn a demagogue into a tyrant; and that the only alterna tives of a democracy are national decay or military despot ism."
