R. GEORGE ROBINS has pleasure in stating 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,yrecisely. A SINGULARLY DELIGIITFUL and altogether a MOST ELIGIBLE PROPERTY. It is well knDwn and highly appreciated as THE SEVERN HOUSE DEMESNE, four miles from Br:stol and Clifton, on the road to the splendid river Avon 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 tour miles, yet it is confidently stated that there is 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 just y termed TRANSCENDENTLY BEAUTIFUL SCENERY. it would almost wear the patience of the reader to extend tire descrip tion of all the writer saw, and striver} to appreciate, but it is believed a very few gleanings will snflice to call up the attention of all such as would enjoy the pure, unsophisticated air of Somerset, in a villa to which it is universally conceded, stand alone both for situation and prepossessing appearance, It is placed on a lofty and beauteous eminence, but the gcod sense and evident tact of the proprietor has, by means of the luxuriant ' shrubberies and plantations that encircle it, kept the cold winds at a Inert respectable distance, and in accomplishing this desideratum, it vcnld appear that fairy laud has been sought to accomplish the great design. On perambulating through these splendid grounds the views are (en verite) magnificent, and the extent almost without a limit. TIIE CONFLUENCE OF THE SEVEHN AND THE AVO' is Immediately in view, and the perpetual moving scenery in the dis tance must be seen if the realer desires to appreciate it, for it is quite certain this imperfect account will leave an immeasurable host of ob jects entirely disregarded. _ Here rising boughs, adorned with summer's pride. Pr , ject their Having umbrage o'er the tide; While, gently perching on th leafy spray, Each feather'd warbler tunes his various lay. The road from Clifton is full of variety, and on arr 7 vlng at the Severn Mansion, it will be perceived much of ingenuity must have been brought Into the field to accomplish tl:e de lightfld ascent to be encountered from the very pretty Lodge-gate ; but the reader is invoked, and with no small portion of anxiety, not to rely cn - anything short of ocular demonstration ; as the fame of this residence has extended far and near, it Aessarily renders it rawerk of sLpercrogation and lightens the necessity to go into a more minotr• thsfol thasy-110.‘ hacfr sition will famish. Clifton, the great feature of Somerset, is close at hand, and becomes an auxitary that it would be an injustice to over look. The neighbourhood is prone to good-fellowship, but if the fortunate occupant prefers quietude and repose to the gaiety that will surround him, he may enjoy it hero unintenupted:y. Ail the great lions of the county arc close at hand. TILE FAMED PIEIISEFIELD is only a short drive, and Burnsville-park, a minor candidate for fame, is not far off. 'The valley which Interposes Its verdant scenery In its progress to these highly commended prcpeltles extends over a vale so rich and bvely that its beauties seem to exceed the t owers 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 has not yet been noticed sufficiently. " TIIHRE IS THAT WITHIN WHICH I'ASSETII snow." Tt Is a building or considerable pretensions in its outward ang 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 he understood in the comprehensive term of com. :ort. The out-offices are meat complete thmighout, the court. yard Is worthy of admiration, and a sporting gentleman will find the department for his carriage and nag horses all that ingenuity can suggest. The kitchen-gardens are very txtcnsive, inclosed by lofty brick walls, and the soil is exceedingly prolific; the fruit is considered unusually high flavoured. THE HOT AND SUCCESSION...HOUSES arc quite perfect, and the prcduce is beyond praise. There is besides A BEAUTIFUL FRENCH GARDEN, in excellent taste, and shedding its beauteous fragrance on all around, and THE BOTANIC WORLD WILL GLEAN from these gardens considerable knowledge, being a selection in great part imported from Holland, and of the choicest specimens that that city is famed for. The scenery everywhere appears inter minable, tends to give a pleasing variety, which again, it is pro claimed, fears nothing by a comrarison throughout this far-famed county. It is In the midst of plenty, everything very reason able—the sea chxe at hand, and Bristol and Clifton pour in their auxiliaries THE DEMESNE EXTENDS TO FIFTY ACRES OF AD3IIIIABLE LAND, in which is included A SNUG LITTLE FARM-ROUSE AND BUILDINGS. giving to the i►:dnstrions views of the proprietor a very delightful re source to fill up an occasional idle hour, beside leisure in improving the breed of his cattle, thus combining the art of driving away ennui (if it should presume to make its unwelcome appearance) from this seat of happy contentment. The progress to the summit of thb QUITE PERFECT BIJOU has been the work of considerable tact and judgment. It fs almost Imperceptible, arising from the constant occupation of the mind in admiring and beholding the sctnery around. The prolific array of American shrubs is seen in proud competition with the plants from . . Holland. From the elevated spot, in these woods are seen the Castle of Blaize, and the rules of Mr. Clive's Castle, indeed There Is nothing left to fancy's guess, You see that all is loveliness. By way of conclusion it should be remarked that, hi spite of wintry winds, the full groWth of the Plantatfous excludes the possibility of its penetrating to the aboe.e, The ensemble to which the Severn Property puts in ax irresist ibleclaim is perfect. It would puzzle ingenuity to discover a solitary fault. It can only be seen on Thursdays and Saturdays from twelve till five o'clock, with a card, or a printed particular of the Sal 4, which will be dlstrilaited with a plan of the land, and the drawing of the resi dence (price one s hilling), to be had also of Messrs.

Around the metropolis of London there have been many projects for accomplishing " SUCCESSFUL BUILDING SCHEMES," but it may be safely affirmed that one and all must hide their di minished heads when placed in competition with WIMBLEDON PARK BUILDING OPERATION, which is A FEE SIMPLE ESTATE. Almost every one must be familiar with the varied beauties of Wim bledon and its rural Common, and few could be found who do it well remember the. ancient mansions so long in the distinguished oc cupation of THE DUKE OF SUTHERLAND, and recently the one, on a lesser scale, in the tenure of THE DUKE OF SOMERSET. The property intended to be represented by this feeble announce ment is a portion of THE SPLENDID PARK, TOGETHER WITH ITS MAGNIFICENT WOODLAFD SCENERY, which Is conspicuous in every direction. A portion only, to the extent of about TWO HUNDRED AND TIIIRTY ACRES, will be Included in the sale. The selection of this spot is without the slightest doubt one of THE MOST ELIGIBLE THROUGHOUT ENGLAND. It exhibits a frontage to the high turnpike-road from Loudon, Battersea and through Putney, EXTENDING ONE MILE AND A HALF, with Wimbledon Common as its natural boundary. It is intended to arrange this into lots, varying from three to ten acres in a lot, Co that every ELEGANT VIT.LA ABODE may hare its little demesne in a park where THE UNDULATION IX THE GROUNDS AND THE ORNAMENTAL WATER. present a spectacle that never can be resisted. Amongst a host of advantages, the majEstic timber which graceffilly adonis this earthly paradise, each lot will partake of it in proportion to the quantity he may fall in love with ; and it need hardly to be remarked that, although money is very influential In many respects. it cannot pro duce by possibility Rill grown trees to adorn newly constructed abodes. Throughout this scene, which may almost I e accounted ONE OF ENCHANTMENT, there is a quietude, and repose amid the woodland scenery, unknown to any contemporaneous situation. The beauteous scene appears interminable, and there will be quickly THREE STATIONS close at hand—Richmond, Putney, Wandsworth, all on the Southampton Railway, so that twenty minutes will be sufficient even to arrive at the post of duty in the City, while Hyde Park will be brought within ten or twenty minutes ride, The air of Wimbledon is proverbially influential in restoring valetudinarians to perfect health and ion gevity—a certain feature in this favoured vicinity. From the undu lating grounds the romantic views extend beyond Seven Oaks, over a richly wooded country, and frem the highest point the beauty and interest of the landscape are rimost overpowering, and it has all the allurement of the New Forest, although nearly adjoining to THE GREAT METROPOLIS OF LONDON. Th 3 neighbourhood is remarkable for the high respectability of its occupants. There are pleasure grounds in the highest order, over a rich soil of peat, wherein are myriads of rhododendrons, and every species of American plant. The peeps and perpetual breaks through. the portion of the Park (not included in this sale) are continuous, and the umbrageous walks and drives are without end ; in fine, it will be a matter to puzzle the brain of a fertile mind to discover in to accornpany them, the catalogue of his wants, a single appendage to comfort in its most extended interpretation that is not prominent at Wimbledon Park. p,, r tt e „mrs, with a lithographic drawing may be, had at Sixpence each , twenty - eight days prior to the Sale,. at the 'Auction Mart, London; the Star and Garter Tavern, on Richmond 11111; the Royal Hotel at Slough ; And at Mr, George &Nag QtaCeN VOYVAllitrderlo 4, aol devoted :3,,,,,,...,, 1 0, :ge t . : ~r , g..El e .ity a ,xsntge l till,:yl:a.;6l.d,ibti:r horse rti.u : ol.itite appear ri.,:n,x:t,::,..., .trf;;. i, that .ors, ,isil,rpi. in_,i,rrii, r ;:e n ciliiiiy,aot ll 4 l :lui t :e t immense .o,l,l e :ini i i. ;_ e e i no,nni t soli t os c i,tti o ,hioi, i n atrit e trierfirs w ho, ' e.ai arrive ,I,aoobc!alta tlaas Inventor catiilrst realised tuat,hutse?l. fortune:oc cupy n r ui t e ls, li if , i v:it:b a le , time, that he cannot supply one-half of the e t I rnese,entrol,emand both for home and foreign orders. . .owing Is a short extract from Mr. GEORGE ROBINS'S description ~.._. to the Inventor, ~ ,, v i t i l ti c oinfort and safety, that e very man ~,, ,ri....4. ~., ~t, to t.._ that he owes a debt of 'gratitude " Has aaY l,l '3 . rot a great r::w . •hoia ' : cw''' fi ti l t r w A t 7:.! -1 1'11-'''!l 4 ..inonnts tl i a l t ' thet omen a mom e il t o r h b e is p l l7:7ll l n ug intoljis t ri e tVo h t i ,:l , r ;;: n i f !i t u n i t i ni:u a • r r o:f t l e i t e l ' i r l e: se ll ie s t us h i a u l s f- s licur spent on his toilet will be completely with such it. horse?

" But a truce to joking, in which strain we fear that we tray have already gone too far.

Dear Sir,--It is with peculiar pleasure that I tender the Thllowhig 'etuarks upon your highly - -important :—" The Hanes," am]" Elastic Spring Saddle." For the last _ _ months I have had the halms almost in daily use, ITN) n variety of Lorscs; myjonrnies have been long , on read:, of varial , le character, not untrequelitly having to ascend hills of unnFual activities, coarsely gravellee. Thcse t tats have perfectly convinced me that my horses have received a great boon. The distinguished features of merit are the dose adaptation of the collar, and the uniformity of its pressure i pen all prober Feats of hearing, the patsnt Names adiritting - of such a salutary division of the points, thereby not only affording increased facilities for draught, but avoiding all abrasion. These circumstances combined have a tendency to diminish or re move a bad habit acquired by some horses called heaving, or break ing into a sort of half canter, a sad bant with many otherwise good bogey horses. I aau also able to bear testimony that by using your hones galled shoulders may be healed in the midst of work. Your elastic spring -saddle I have ridden upon, within the last nine months, some thousands of miles, the average number heirg from ten to fifteen miles per day upon the road, including iwo days a week severe stag-hunting; the same saddle pcsfsessing the singular quality of fitting three of my horses. "I am of opinion that concussion to the hunter carrying high weight is avoided in almost endless variety, during an arduous chase, owing to the construction of your elastic spring saddle re lieving the ridge of the spine from pressure, and dunising or equalising the burden over a more extended muscular surraee ; this must tell not only in speed, but I apprehend far more in a suc cession of difficult fencing, where the animal is required, with the weight of his rider, first to elevate, secondly, to elongate, and thirdly, to land himself tfrmly and Judiciously. With such extraordinary demands upon this noble animal's muscu lar powers, a diffusible spring, well arranged, must be a grand dui, &rat= to every sportsman's saddle. - • -- 7 am, - dear Sir, yours truly, 1 lio3fA S TURNER, President of the Royal C,:llege of Veterinary Surgeons.

GEORGE ROBINS is directed lay Mr. , BENCRAFT, the Patentee, to OFFER FOR SALE, with cut reserve, at the Auction Mart, on Tnuasnar, March LO, at Twelve. An INVALUABLE INVENTI N, and one that, as aoon as It he. tomes generally known, precuts a certain fortune. This lavalaablei PATENT is introduced to public competition because Mc, tencraft, the sole Inventor, is desirous now to retire from the trouble that is necessarily attendant on supplying the present great demand for home and foreign orders. It is so mixed up with corrifzt and safety, that every man devoted to horse exercise will feel that he owes a debt of gratitude to the Inventor, so great as to be almost beyond praise. It is called BENCBAFT'S PATENT SADDLE. • Its properties and advantages are so apparent, yet so numerous, that a very few will be noticed here, yielding, it is believed, every possible infbnnation the most sceptical can desire. A complete pro tection is secured to the spine by means of arched springs, which transfer the rider's weight to the ribs of the horse, the seat of his greatest power, enabling the horse to carry his burden with greater facility and increascal speed. A single examination of the horse's Lack after hard riding will confirm these useful facts. The rough paces of' some horses is effectually prevented or neutralised by the intermediate action of the spring. The adaptation of the springs will not in tha least degree interfere with the shape or seat of the saddle. Mr. Tilbury, of the New road, twill show the radiate, and exphin the principle, adding to this short statement one hundred Important facts by way of illustration, and so convincing that be must be a bold man who would gainsay one of its advantages, Many of the nobility, especially those connected with the turf, may be referred to, whose testimonials will very far exceed the moderated staters:ex* this announcement." The following extract, we vote from the " Veterinarian," for Fehruary, 1845 " We have no hesitation whatever, in saying, that persons who complain of the hardness or want of elasticity of our 'common sad d'.es,v,iti find in Mr. Bencraft's a springy end comfortable seat. Neither the old gentleman nor the invalid horseman will any more Lave occasion to resort to stuffed pads or quilted seats for case and comfort ; they will both find all they desire astride the spring seated saddle, oral they will plobaLly find the difference between it and the common saddle the greater the more they have to complain of the rough bone-setting motion of their hackneys.

Particulars, fully desaribiug its principal advantages, and intro clueing such pica sing facts as will or olialit to incline those who desire at Mr. Tilbury' s , N ew - roa d ; -:action Mart; and in Covent garden. to get rich at a railway Ace to endeavour to possess it, I.e had THE ANCIENT CITY OF COVENTRY. There are FIVE CAPITAL FARMS, WITH SUPERIOR BUILDINGS AND WARM FARM-YARDS TO EACH, AND ALL OVITHIN A RING FENcE, TITHE FREE AND EXTRA - PAROCHIAL, extending to about SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY ACRES OF RICH MEADOW, 'PASTURE. and ARABLE LAND, en'irely and strictly within a ring fence, including the prolific woo Is. The rates are unusually small, arising cut of the fact that they are paid by a compromise wilt the LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY, whose line passes through Willeßhall. The soil is of first-rate quality, as the crops armually demonstrate, and the rick yuds verify. Every Farm possesses a superior dwelling, with large garden, and the build ings essentitil for agricultural purposes ace unexceptionable, in fact, ,everytittag-is in tlio most Thyfewt apple-pie order.

I may now be asked, "Where is to be found a correspondMg ease ?" AND ECIIO REJOINS " WHERE." In respect to the auxiliaries not immediately sought In the shape of income, it should be :aid THE ADJOINING MANORS ARE STRICTLY PRESERVED BY LORDS CRAVEN AND HOOD, as also the Bag: ton and Brandon property. There is en abundance of game, and Ile'd sports extend to a gentleman's fondest desire. The Estate is bounded by two large rivers (the Avon and Solve), which furnish constant an - me:vent to those inclined to recreate in fishing. THE ELIZABETHAN VILLA _ _ . is altogether adapted to a gentleman's occupation. It probably might be Improves by a finishing stroke from the hand of an artiste. There is, besides, one of the farm-houses where th e p ropr i etor would be but too happy to take up his quarters occasionally (luring 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 1,5501, 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 foul teen years' lease. James Mellor, Esq., who has so long domesti cated with his family on the bill, 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, acid some time since this was proved 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 close allies ; AND THE ESTATE OF TFIE BROTHER OF Sat ROBt:RT 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 vidiguity 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 sail, 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 sea!e the great curiosity that prevails everywhere to get into good farms now-a-days), if the every day observation, resound thy now from a'l quarters, that THE AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN MORE FRIGHTENED THAN BURT, is not renderei most manifest by the above unassuming ncital of facts? The plans are all but ready, and will he. distributed, with a draw ing, on the Out with the Elizabethan Villa, by Mr. Phillips, jun., cf Coventry.

GEORGE ROBINS feels much gratifica tion in having been preferred te , OFFER to PUBLIC COM PETITION, at the Auction Mart, Lorthm, on TIICRSDAY, the 9th of July, at twelve o'clock, and in one lot, by direction of the trzs tees IZa• abs:Ante see, of me of THE MOST MAGNIFICENT FREEUOLD INVESTMENTS TUROUG lIOUT ENGLAND, and in the description that necessarily must follow, Mr. Robins, without the slightest affectation, fearlessly proclaims that ho sp preaches the task with fear and trembling. The only saving clause he can well seek to soften the reproaches of the 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 not yield assent to their rnearches. 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 he traced back to a very distant day, and it has ever since maintained its prcud superiority over ANY 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 an,l r7re Mix'd Oolitic, such as artists all allow Few specimens yet left us can compare. Its classic front EXTENDS TO NEAR THREE HUNDRED FEET. The present architectural order may be dated atout the time of Henry VII. ; but to describe it as it deserves is felt to be far beyond the reach of the lindted capacity of the composer, and even much wiser heads would be puzzled in the attempt to do it justice—it is indeed TILE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF THE WEST. Its fame has been held in the highest veneraticn from generation to generation, end it is now avowed to have no successful rival amid the vast variety of monasteries to be found throughout the country. The first impression on beholding this ANCIENT AN'D CLASSIC PILE the writer feels can never be obliterated from his memory ; his rri;:ni on the instrtnt Was stibdttal into a meet devout and reli gious feeling —one of absolute worrier—mixed up with bound less admiration; it was a joyous spectacle, but Mr. Robins cannot too earnestly invoke all those who possess a soul congenial with ob jects of antiquity to go to the Abbey, and then judge for themselves ; they will, with one accord, proclaim how absolutely impossible it is to convey in suitable terms the panegyric which would be awarded to it. However, these preliminary remarks must arrive at a conclu sion ; the form prescribed in the length of au announcemt 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 each as are well versed in our history; end he is fortunately enabled, by the assistance of a very highly talented lady, to aid in the historical account of Dugdale by selections of her own, and guided by ajudgment and cleverness thathas never beets held in doubt. Mr. Robins feels it is a perfect godsend to him to have had the gratification of making the acquai: tance of this gifted lady. To gratify the learned and the curious in distant parts, it la proposed to append to the explanatory particulars of the Abbey 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 ,a. It is 15 miles from Taunton, about 50 miles from Bristol, and within a deligls fill ride of 514 hours from London (and the approaching rail ' way through Chard will reduce it to about 4 hours). The county in which the abbey is placed will not yield to any other. The reader need hot be retnind.d 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 TUB FAT OF - 171 E LAND was not ACCOUNTED TOO GOOD FOR THEIR REFINED TASTE. This princely property is all free/101l of Inheritance, surrounded by a park of great beauty, finely wooded, and full of deer— Tile branching stag swept down with all his herd, To quaff a brook which murmured like a bird. It Is adorned by THE ORNAMENTAL WATERS, THE PROLIFIC WOODLAND SCENERY, AND TIIE PERPETUAL WINDING OF TIIE RIVER AXE, Ford Abbey is seated in the vale of the Axe (so famed by the disciples of Izaac Walton for its• placatory pleasures and delicious trout) winding in serpentine beauty through its fertile meadows. In the park there Is a never ceasing continuation of woods and water, struggling for the ascendancy with cascades and waterfalls, to vary the scene, sparkling with foam. Before thn 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. In the park, the soft undulatirg foliage is perpetually relieving and deluding the eye into a i:ellef that it was of almost boundless extent. It imparts just such an air of tempered wildness as would gratify the lover of scenery, w ithout offence to those who are inclined to look rather for the evidences of the superintending hand of care and culti vation. Indetll everything seems to increase the charms of a spot ro rich An nature's beauties. The famed river which environs it, " Lest for a space through thickets veering, But broader when again appearing." It may be asked, "WI I AT MORE C 'MORTALS NOW DESIRE ?" The sporting qualities extend to every - thing a gentleman's heart can contemplate ; by the way THE MONKS' CELEBRATED WALK is in high preservation. And to omit &panegyric upon THE ANCIENT TAPESTRY THAT ADORNS ALL THE STATE ROOMS would approach sacrilege. It really and truly may he accounted the WONDER AND ADMIRATION OF THE WORLD. It fearlessly challenges a rival; and the writer is exceedlnely desirous that the reader should not for one moment charge this description with being tco vivid. He may rest assurad here is no flight of fancy—it is 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 tenantry are very rich, very contented, and very happy, and are without one guinea of arrear ; indeed, the latter word could not dud a place in their vocabulary. The rent is exceedingly low. The demesne extends to SIXTEEN HUNDRED ACRES OF RICH MEADOW, PASTURE, ARABLE, AND WOOD LANDS, NEARLY ALL TITHE-FREE, AND TAXER MODERATE. Such Is a faithful narrative, and 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 lend, which is doubtless 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. WE HAVE ALL BEEN MORE FRIGHTENED THAN HURT." There are MANORIAL. RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES of considerable extelt, and the estate is (all but) in a ring fence. The neighbourhood is highly respectable ; many Lords and Nobles are amongst those who prefer to domesticate in this s p lendid count y . larkets arc everywhere abundant; in fact, Mr. Robins has taxed his Ingenuity in vain to try to discover a single blemish. The late Jeremy Bentham occupied the Abbey for three years, commencing in 1815, axed from thence Issued many of his most celebrated works.
