IN 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 LANr-. TAX REDEEMED. MR. 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, precisely, in Two Lots. A SINGULARLY DELIGHTFUL and altogether a MOST ELIGIBLE PROPERTY. It is well known andhig hly appreciated as THE SEVERN HOUSE DEMESNE, four miles from Bristol and Clifton, en 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 is nothing to present itself that can be put in junta-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 wear 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 lofty 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 are (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 he 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. Here rising boughs, adorned with summer's pride, • - Project their waving umbrage o'er the tide; While, gently perching on-the leafy spray, Each feather'd warbler tunes his various lay. The road from Clifton is full of variety, and on arriving at • the Severn Mansion, it will be perceived much of ingenuity must have been brought into the field to accomplish the delightful ascent to be encountered from the very pretty entrance-lodge-gate ; but the reader is invoked, and with no small portion of anxiety, not to rely Cu anything short of ocular demonstration ; as the fame of this residence has extended far and near, it necessarily renders it a work of supererogation and lightens the necessity to go into a more minute detail than this hasty compo sition will furnish. Clifton, the great feature of Gloucestershire, is close at hand, and becomes an aux;liary 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 cl HE he may enjoy it here uninterruptedly.

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 so il is exceedingly prolific ; the frnit is considered unusually high flavoured. THE HOT AND SUCCESSION•HOUSES There is are quite perfects- and • the produce is beyond praise. loesldes A BEAUTIFUL FRENCH GARDEN, in excellent taste, and shedding Its beauteous fragrance on all around, and THE BOTANIC WORLD WILL GLEAN oin these gardens considerable knowledge, the bulbs being a selec tioninternainafbele,stielnds to give a pleasing T in great part Imported from Harlem, and of the choicest speci menscount that that cif I able—the sea clove y s famed for. auxiliaries claimed, irarisceetnye,7vheiveheragywal;ne,reitaipspr Tors. y.

The pro,ress to the summit of this QUITE PERFECT EIJOIT has been'the work. of considerable tact and judgment. It is almost imperceptible, arising from the constant occupation of the mind in admiring and beholding the scenery around. The prolific array of American shrubs is seen in proud competition with the plants from Harlem. From the elevated spot, i n th ese Woods are seen the . Castle of . Blaize, and the ruins of Mr. Cave's and Ragland 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, in spite of wintry winds, the full growth of the Plantations excludes the possibility of its penetrating to the abode, The ensemble to which the Severn Property_ puts in an Irresist ible claim is perfect.

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 Twelve o'clock, in One Lot, A FREEHOLD PROPERTY AND 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 impericet outline, that it is not a little difficult to state where to begin. HoweVer, the effort must be made ; firstly, IT IS DECIDEDLY, FOlt ITS SIZE, THE MOST ELIGIBLE, AND CERTAINLY THE MOST COMPACT PROPERTY THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. There can be no scepticism arise out of this assertion. No one can with justice gainsay this high panegyric. It extends to THE WHOLE HAMLET, TOGETHER WITH THE EXTi-NSIVE MANOR OF WILLENHALL, which is within two short miles of There are THE ANCIENT CITY OF COVENTRY. FIVE 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 RICII MEADOW. PASTURE, and ARABLE LAND, entirely and strictly within a ring fence, including the prolific woods. The rates are unusually small, arising out of the fast that they are paid by a compromise with the LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY, whose line passes through Willenhall. 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 PROCLAIMS CAN NOT BE EXCELLED TIZROUGHOIIT 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 TILE LAST TEN YEARS." :t may now be askei," "Where is to be found a corresponding case ?" AND ECHO REJOINS " WHERE."' En 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 ROOD, as also the Baginton and Brandon property. There Is an abundance of game, and field sports extend to a gentleman's fondest desire. The Estate is bounded by two large rivers (the Avon and Sowe), which furnish constant am.isewnent 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 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 pears' 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 prov,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 A N D LORD ROOD are close allies ; AND THE ESTATE OF THE BROTHER OF SIB 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-days), if the every day observation, resound ing now from al quarters, that THE , AGRICULTURAL 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 Mr. 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.

THE GREAT AND PROUD FEATURE OF THE COUNTY, THE FORD ABBEY ESTATE, WITH ITS NEVER-ENDING DE LIGHTS, THE INVALUABLE FISHERY, ABUNDANCE OF AND- SPORT OF EVERY DESCRIPTION, AND, - " THOUGH LAST NOT LEAST IN OUR DEAR LOVE," THE MAGNIFICENTLY FINE ABBEY, PRESENTING BY FAR TIIE MOST CLASSICAL AND CELEBRATED MONASTERY THROUGHOUT ENGLAND. THE PRESENT LOW RENTAL • ARISING FROM THIS FINE PROPERTY, INCLUDING THE VALUE . OF THE ABBEY AND LANDS IN HAND, AND ON LEASE FOR LIVES, IS ABOUT 2,0001. A YEAR. IT IS NEARLY ALL TITHE-FREE, AND THE TENANTRY BOTH WEALTHY AND RESPECTABLE. AN IMPERATIVE SALE. MR. GEORGE ROBINS feels much gratifica tion in having been preferred to OFFER for PUBLIC COM PETITION, at the Auction Mart, Lordon, on THURSDAY, the 9th of July,.at Twelve o'clock, and in One Lot, by direction of the tras tees fog, absolate sale s one of THE MOST MAGNIFICENT FREEHOtD INVESTMENTS THROUGHOUT ENGLAND. _ _ . And: in the deScripicerithatlecessWriliTalitstfollow, Mr. Robins, without the slightest affectation; proclaims that he ap proaches the task with fear and trembliog. 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 absent to his ilsearches. Dugdale is no mean authority, and with this, and a few,lutroductory facts, the herculean task mpst 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 new • Still older mansion, of a rich aid I are Mix'd Gothic, such as artists all allow Few specimens yet left us can compare. Its classic front • EXTENDS TO NEAR THREE HUNDRED FEET. The order oe titcbitecture is in the TOW* style, and may be dated about the time of lleur ? VIII. ; but to,describe it as it deserves is felt to be far beyond the reach of the limited capacity of the corn poser,, and even., much wiser heads would•be puzzled in the attempt 44 do it justiee"—it Is Indeed • THE GREAT LEVIATHAN OF THE WEST. Its fame has been held in the highest veneration from generation to generation, and 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 AND CLASSIC PILE the writer feels can never be obliterated from his memory ; his mind on the instsnt seemed to be subdued Into a most devout and reli gious state—one of absolute wonder—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 to the length ofan 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 a judgment 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 rm. 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 deligh ful 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 THE LAND was not ACCOUNTED TOO GOOD FOR THEIR REFINED TASTE. This princely property is all freehold of inheritance, surrounded by lawns and pleasure-grounds, with gravelled walks between rows of uinbrageous 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 TIME-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 thoile 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 piscatory pleasures and delicious trout, winds, in serpentine beauty, through the fair demesne. Lost for a space through thickets veering, But broader when again appearing. was here that The branching stag swept down with all his herd, To quaff a brook which murmured like a bird. It may still be asked, " WHAT MORE CAN MORTALS NOW DESIRE f" . . 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 th,• limits prescr.bed, and therefore (with lament) the writer ends this very imperfect recital, merely observing that the terms n ed by the foundress of the abbey when she tendered to the holy fathers her manor of Thorncombe, 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 18st. 41b., and for size and beauty it has never been equalled. The tenantry are very respectable, and without one guinea of at-rear; indeed, the latter word could not find a place in their vocabulay. The rent is exceed ingly low. The demesne extends to nearly TWELVE HUNDRED ACRS Or 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 ff WEIIAVE ALL BEEN MORE FRIGHTENED THAN HURT." 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 ingenuity in vain to try to discover a fault. The fill description, with plans and a drawing of the famed Abbey, are ready and may be had at the White Lion Inn, Bristol; White Hart, Bath ; Castle, Taunton ; Chard Arms Hotel, Chard ; Mr. Whitaker, solicitor, 12, Lincoln's Inn-fields, London ; Mr. Paul, solicitor, The Clone, Exeter ; Mr. Salter, solicitor, Chard ; the Auetion Mart ; and at Mr. George Robins's offices, London, at Two Shill ings;each, (this being with the sole view to prevent a useless and unpro fitable distribution of the full particulars).

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 bumble, 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 arid 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 like] y 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 mero touching place for an English steamer, to pick up some strag glint 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 Mies 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 cocsting 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 Valentia, nor at Kilmacalogue, nor at Beret haven? Ido earnestly 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 forty or fifty miles more 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-offlee 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, 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 •ancl-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 whom are power ful in political influence, of which I possess none, I must seek the aid of certain independent authorities in favour of Valentia. _ _ The Protector Cromwell, who, though out of date, will not be considered obsolete in anything relating udu to subdued the maritime interests of England, when be had • e_d the south-west of Iraand, and expelle d the Spaniards froin Valentia, established a station there for frigates and troops, erected forts at th e entrances, and placed a garrison i on the island. It is clear 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. In 1824, a project was submitted to the Government for the conveyance of mails and troops from Valentia to Halifax : it was received with the utmost favour by the Government, and, under its sanction, an Act of Parliament was obtained to facilitate the enterprise. The Duke of York declared himself patron of the undertaking, and expressed, through his secretary, Sir H. Taylor, his high gratification at the advantage to be afforded to the public service from the quickest and safest conveyance of troops between the United Kingdom and our colonies. Lord Liverpool, then Prime Minister, assured to the company the conveyance of the mails. A company was formed Itt Boston. in 1825, to build steamers to meet those from Valentia at Halifax. The legislature of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, granted sums of public money for co-operation with the proposed company, under the impression of the great advantage to those colonies from the rapidity of intercourse with the United Bing- ' 1 ! 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, d fortiori Cork, fifty miles fur- ther to the east. PRICE SD, ' 'dem, to arise from the adoption of Valentia, which is by far the most westerly harbour in Europe. • .Mr. - 14t-Giegor, in his very able work on North. Ame rica, points out, and recommends the communication be tween Valentia 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 with. America from Valentia. (Vide ParliaMentary papers, No. 86, on " Western Har bours of Ireland,",printed in 1835.) A very able American writer, on the "traverse At lantique, explains the general impression in the United -States to be in favour of packet communication with Va lentia, not Merely as the nearest European harbour to America, but as the most suitable in all respects. Cru Ireland,ge r and with G a o A deput a ti on f rom capitalists of New York (Messrs. ) I4 ean American who Examinedth p e ack h e a t rb s o t u a rs tion of , specifically recommended Valentia as the best. Mr. Cobden; in his. remarkable p amphlet " En land Ireland, and A mer i ca, "' quotes, fro m American g publi cations, a decided opinion. its prevailin g in the United 'States in'favour of Valentin, and he powerfully recorn mends the selection of such westerly harbour, and the formation of a railroad to that point,- expressing, At the same time, his conviction, that such a project, if com pleted, would secure,the ; preference of voyagers to all parts of NOith Ainericn, net. only from: Britain, but from every quarter of Europ ; and would offer-incal culable advantages ninon Ireland, hi intiiqucing capital, and stininlating ' in'dustry and 'enterprise. Mr. Cliarlei Wye Williams, in his very interesting essay on the importance of internal navigation in Ire lard, adopts the same .view. . • • The prV.ted letter . ,.of Admiral Sir Itc•bert Otwpy struagl3'.reeotareenN•Visientia fer iin Ameriew4-pacitet.- station. • Amongst' engineers, for a series of years, Mr. Nimmo zealously urged the recommendation of Val, ntia. Mr. William Cubitt and Mr. C. Vigil°lies expressed their conviction in the' same way ; and Mr. Vignolles dwelt much on the peculiar combination of advantages possessed by Va'entia as a p ac k e t s t a ti on an d ra il way 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. Men of science, as well as of the greatest practical knowledge i❑ 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 to arise there from, by facilitating and increasing the interchange 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 lookcd 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 communication 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 deemed, beyond comparison, the most ex perienced and judicious, practical seaman in the navy, viz., Commissioner Bowen, for twenty years at the head of the transport service. He had been Captain of the Fleet in Admiral Christian's expedition to the Wcst 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, he 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 bow that policy can have been placed in abeyance for above twenty yeats—why the principle which controlled England, as to her western ports, shall not be applied to Ireland • why 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 of departure for our colonies. If her provinces are poor, and her people unemployed, is it consistent with national justice that she is to be deprived of the practical benefits that would arise from making Ir land the transit be tween Europe and America? What imagination can place limit to the advantages which would arise from turning the tide of human interccurse between Europe and America through her impoverished districts !! Na tare has placed Ireland between England and America. Is it that Ireland should be merely a breakwater in the channel ? Is the impover'shment of Ireland, is its non improvement, is its virtual extinction as a portion of the United Kingdom, so decided a state policy, that a vast sum of money is to be devotr d to passing round and by Ireland, rather than infringe, in the most minute degree, on the monopoly of England ? But over and above the selection of a packet station, there are other matters of national interest which cannot be disregarded in dealing with the ease. The larger and more pressing subjects of a defensive naval station, and a preferable point of embarkation for troops, whether for general or colonial service (the latter of which *more es pecially concerns the Horse Guards), will probably be taken into consideration together with the choice of a packet station. As various considerations apply in common to those several 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 Cork, 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 har bours (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 hardly necessary to refer to any authority beyond common sense for the utter absurdity of depending upon a station at Cork for 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 for 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 halfan 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 tie is, making in the fortnight passage over 3,600 miles in the year, of a desperate coast navigation, involving a fearful this i a s m c o o u m n p t a o r f i s d o a n n t g h e e r u t o s e l i o f e f a t nd he In eproperty. s team-tug, in either case, suggests itself.

To effect the same 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 Thhant to Cape Clear, in which case Berehaven would afford a good safety harbour, or Cork might be suitable, if preferred as 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 American Packet Station should be confounded with the " head- quarters " 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 th e choice most compatible with colonial and general service, will alto be that most con ducive to the military security of Ireland.

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 collision, 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.

Bhe is about to establish four di stincilines orpacket comninnication across the Atlantic from het. western ports 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 Government can be in sensible to - the vast importance of establishing a counter-. balancing force of steam navy on the North Atlantic?

A vast suna• of putlic m one y h as b een devoted to fortify the English coast nicest o pp ose d to 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 pe• ple 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 viol a t e 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 best 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 " England'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 enemy's country." In the summer of 1798, eleven hundred Frenchmen landed in Connaught, and made such an impression, that Lord Corna - allis found it necessary to concentrate all the dis posable force at his command, to defeat the French and the rebels who joined them. Another expedition of 3,000 men was soon after en our coasts, but fortunately captured at sea. Under the present wise monarch of France, our rela tions with that country may be safe; bnt it is incumbent upon the Government to prepare beforehand for a very different state of things.. The French blunder of in vading Ireland by Bantry Bay will never be repeated: the armament was in truth intended for the Shannon. Every possible 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 instructed us. Carnot and Napoleon not only con sidered that Ireland had very fine westerly harbours, but they made a selection of the points at which it might be desirable to pay us a visit;t and assuredly the first step to be taken by France in case of a war, would be an invasion of the west of Ireland. A force for that pur pose will necessarily proceed from the western harbours of France, and their fair wind, viz., some point of the south, shuts up Cork and Bantry ; and any effort, even by Iteatners, .from those ports, would be gr ea tly re t ar d e d ntl 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 " head-quarters" At Cork. It trey be measured by !he average of time pa'sed by our steamers between pork and the Skelligs. The avowed hostility of Ame rica, at feast its sympathy when occasion shall offer, 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 praf.ssional man, that fir nn effectual naval defence of the west of Irelan I. some position must be taken up' upon that coast. The prop'r force for such a purpo.e would necessarily be a squadron of steamers of various strength. The western coast of Ireland may be said to 'begin at the Skolligs 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. it be not intended to abandon Ireland, and to court lan invasion of its shores, a defensive position must Le taken up at come one or other cf 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 corn ' 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 4 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, which could not be molested ; and a military position on the island, commanding at once the harbour and the opposite coast, and unattacksble by an enemy, either externally or internally. It is not easy 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 predecessor promised me, viz., fair play and Justice to Ireland.—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 n o t been mask assailed by this agency, which one day or other ma y be plan of attacking Ireland would at the same time a diversion by the Colonel sh a n Snhosnw and tha Gal wayt h i s Napoleon. in his free discussions after menacing Hull; and t Carn ° t simultaneously, communicated c creating a to q ite, be a i t n e his deposition, stated that the Shannon was the proper point of descent. ; The great Skellig is one of the most remarkable objects in the ocean, rising near 800 feet above the sea, in 34 fa• thorns water. It is one of the best possible points for obser vation of any approach to the 'western coast of Ireland.
