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 instant seemed to be subdued into a most devout and religious 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 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 ass;stance 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 tke explanatory par ticulars of the several farms and lands a plan of the whole, with a beautiful drawing of the Abbey. The situation of this monastery is familiar to most of us. 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' rice 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 BE ERSELLERS' ANNIVERSARY. The members of the Metropolitan New Publicans' Protection Society held their twelfth anniversary festi val at the White Conduit House, Pentonville, on Thurs day. The festival, as is usual, was preceded by the an nual general meeting, which was held in the large room of the above-nameehotel, at half-past 12 o'clock. The proceedings of the.meeting (which was numerous and respectable) were opened by Mr. Lindsay, the trea surer of the society, being unanimouily voted to the chair. The CHAIRMAN, after having briefly expressed his re gret that the retailers of beer in the metropolis did not exert themselves in the cause of this aoeiety in a more determined manner, and made a few preliminary re- Marks, called upon the secretary to read the annual report of the committee. Mr. J. Brsiiop, the secretary, accordingly proceeded to read the report, which stated that the past year had been more than usually eventful to the members of this society. Two questions, both of the utmost importance to the retailers of beer, had occupied a very considerable portion of the time and attention of the committee. The first, and certainly the more important one, was the refusal of two overseers to sign the certificate of rating and occupying, demanded by law, to enable the Excise to grant a license to sell beer by retail ; and the second, the operation of the recent Act for regulating games and wagers, by which it has become necessary to apply to the magistrates for a license to keep a biliard-table or bagatelle-board. With respect 'to the former case, it appears that after much delay the society had succeeded in obtaining the issue. of-armandarans for the purpose of; compelling the two obstinate officials to do their duty. The trial of the question took place at .the Queen's Bench, Guildhall, before Lord Denman and a jury, who, after five minutes' deliberation, decided in favour of the plaintiff. So far the society was successful, but the overseers have availed themselves of the law's delays by obtaining a writ for a new trial, on the plea of misdirec tion of the jury on the part of his Lordship. In the course of a few months, however, the committee have every reason to expect that the point at issue will be finally decided in their favour. With respect to the second question, the report detailed at great length the steps which have been taken to place the beersellers in the same position with the Licensed Victuallers in re gard to the operations of the recent Act. Their efforts, it appears, will, in a short period, be brought to a suc cessful and satisfactory conclusion ; indeed, the late Attorney-General and Sir James Graham have decided in their favour. The report, which was a very lengthy and ably written document, concluded by detailing the labours of the committee in reference to other matters connected with the society. The num ber of informations laid against the members during the past year was not, it appeared, more than three in two hundred, and those principally on account of Sunday trading, which was distinctly discountenanced by the society. The law charges had necessarily been very heavy, in consequence of the legal steps taken by the society during the last twelve months. Mr. BISHOP then read a statement of receipts and ex penditure, which showed a net balance of 2331. 19s. sd. (exclusive of 737/., the Pension Fund). Mr. ROBERTS having moved, and Mr. BAGSHAW se conded, the adoption of the report and statement of accounts, a discussion, in which Mr. Cox, Mr. May, and others took part, ensued as to the steps taken by the committee in reference to the billiard-table question. Those gentlemen stated that they would have been better satisfied if the committee had proceeded further than they had on that subject. The SECRETARY, in reply, said that the committee had done all in their power, and were determined, if power were given to them by the meeting, to carry their efforts still further. rrHE BARBER'S CHAIR is TAKEN EVERY .1 Saturday in DOUGLAS JERROLD'S WEEKLY NEWS PAPER.

Mr. PROSSER exceedingly regretted that a single far thing of the funds had been expended in reference to bagatelle playing, and he rejoiced to say that he had determinedly opposed the proceedings of the committee on that head.

The following gentlemen were then unanimously ap pointed to serve on the committee during the ensuing year, viz. :—Mr. Boury, Mr. Lush, Mr. Williams, Mr. Mayher, Mr. Kinnersly, Mr. Hazlewood, Mr. Smith, Mr. Baker, and Mr. Saffry. The SECRETARY then reminded the meeting that their next business would be, which of three applicants they should elect as a pensioner on the society. The CHAIRMAN highly eulogised the conduct df Mr. Richard Bankes (one of the applicants), and said that he was one of the oldest and zealous subscribers to the society. Mr: ROBERTS said, that as there was only one vacancy, and three applicants for the benevolence of the society, the fairest step that could be taken would be to authorise the secretary to send to each member of the society a balloting paper with the name, &c., of the applicant, so that the question might be fairly settled at the next meeting of the society, and he would, therefore, propose a resolution to that effect.

" Dow we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years and ten." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understani ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our owu organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the 11k a advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in. consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. • The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

The motion having been seconded and unanimously adopted, and the Chairman having closed the business of the meeting by expressing a hope that the entire of the beersellers of the metropolitan district might speedily perceive it to be to their great interest to enrol them selves members of the society, the meeting adjourned to THE DINNER, which took place in the capacious music saloon, situate in the gardens attached to the above-named hotel, and at which upwards of a thousand individuals sat down. The vast assemblage was graced by the presence of several ladies (the relatives of the company), who were seat( d in a gallery at one end of the saloon. Prior to the dinner, Mr. BISHOP, the Secretary, stated that Mr. Ewart, M.P., bad promised to do them the honour of presiding on this occasion, but as that gentle man had not yet arrived, he begged to propose that the chair, in the mean time, be taken by their worthy Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Terry.

Grace having been said by the Chairman, and ample justice done to the good things which were most plenti fully provided for the occasion, " Nun Nobis Dwaine" was ably sung by a party of vocalists in attendance. The CHAIRMAN then gave, " Health and happiness to the Queen," which was of course responded to in the most loyal manner. The other usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been given and duly honoured, Mr. PROSSER rose and said that the toast which had been committed to his charge was one that was particu larly grateful to his feelings, as he had no doubt it would be to that assembly. That toast was, " The Right Honourable Lord Monteagle, the patron of the New Publicans' Protection Society, and their other Parlia mentary friends."—(Cheers.) All those gentlemen who had been long connected with the trade, and all who were engaged in its early struggles, must have a grate ful recollection of the great services which they had re ceived at the hands of those gentlemen included in the toast.—(Cheers.) The Noble Lord and their Parlia mentary friends, who received them as deputations into their mansions, were pleased to listen to their observa tions, and promised to do all in their power to effect the emancipation of the trade.—(Cheers.) He hoped, then, that the members of that society would con tinue to conduct themselves in such a man ner as to justify those gentlemen (whose services might be again required at no distant day) in extending to them their assistance and patronage.— (Hear, hear.) The society would no doubt be soon called upon again to act on the defensive, and it behoved them to be prepared for any attacks which might be attempted to be made on their just rights and privileges. Having no wish to trespass any longer on their time, he would conclude his observations by proposing for their hearty reception, . 6 The Right Hon. Lord Mont eagle, the patron of this Society, and our other Parlia mentary friends."— (Three times three cheers.) Mr. Bruton then sang a comic sot.g on railroads, a performance which created bursts of laughter. The com pany ware also much entertained throughout the remainder of the evening by the able services of that gentleman, in conjunction with Messrs. Atkinson, Dow son, (Tones, Warry, &c. The CHAIRMAN having called upon the assembly to charge their glasses to the brim, Mr. Bisnor rose and said, that the toast which had fallen to his lot was the same that he had had the honour of proposing for their r ece pti on on preced ing occasions—it was that of their Society ; but he supposed that he must follow the old plan that they had laid down, viz., that no gentleman ought to propose anything for their acceptance without giving them a reason, and a good reason, why they ought to accept it. And as that was the case, and Le had this toast again put into his hands, he supposed he must again preach a sermon upon it. A friend behind him had just tapped him on the shoulder, and had re quested him to let the sermon be a very short one. He promised them that it should be as short as the toast could possibly admit of. As there were many amongst them who had not been present on the preceding oc casions, he must trouble them to carry their recollection back as far as the year 1840 ; he would not go back much farther than that. At that time the society was subjected to a severe trial ; everything, however, that perseverance could possibly suggest was done fur the purpose of carrying out the intentions o f the N e w Publicans' Protection Society, as every person who was aware of their unceasing efforts must acknowledge. At the time alluded to, the Act of Parliament under which their trade was now regulated was obtained. _ That Act released them from Consultation fee, if by Letter, 11.

Also a desirable Dwelling-house, No. 12, Elizabeth-street, Pimlico, containing four bed-chambers, dining room, and domestic offices and garden, in the occupation of Mr. Soper, at a low rent of 501. per annum, and held on lease for a an un nual expired term of 77 years, from 25 th March, 1846, at an ground-rent of 71.

For the information of those - gentlemen who had lately joined the trade, be could tell them that it was by the efforts of this society that the price of their licenses had been reduced from 51. ss. to 31. 35., the latter sum being paid by the licensed victuallers, who nevertheless enjoyed greater privileges than the beersellers. The committee of this society took the liberty of suggesting to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the other parties who were then connected with the Government, that they could not with any propriety call upon the beersellers to pay a larger sum for a few additional privileges, than parties who, for a lower sum, were put in possession of greater privileges.

The consequence was, that the price demanded from the beerseller for ; his license was reduced from 5!. ss. to 31. 35., and that , reduced sum they had continued till the present time. , Need he then say a single word more in praise of the objects and efforts of the society whose labour had , been the means of saving 21. 2s. to every beerseller? This society also made a liberal provision for its menu , hers in the time of sickness, and their widows, in case of death., If they needed any legal advice in matters connected with their trade, they had a solicitor to pro tect them, without any expense whatever. All these privileges were conferred upon them at the trifling cost of tea shillings per annum, out of the 21. 2s. which had been saved to every beerseller in the course of a year. — (Cheers.) In reference to the Beer Bill of 1834, as to "drinking upon the premises," the committee waited upon upwards of four hundred Members of Parliament, and stated their views to them. When that Bill was committed in the House of Lords no less than seventeen divisions took place on it in one night—a circumstance unparalleled in the history of Parliament. When the Bill came to the House of Commons it was passed (notwithstanding all the opposition and influence that was brought to bear against it) by a triumphant majority. After dwelling at further length on the many successful efforts which the society had made for the +.-gt:of obtaining protection to the beersellers thilg country, the speaker continued to say that it was now high time that the petty jealousies which had hitherto existed between the beersellers and licensed victuallers should cease, and promised all the assistance in his power to the members of the former trade. He concluded by stating that the society had preserved its integrity and respectability in all its proceedings, and it was for that reason that he thought it was fully entitled to encourage ment from the trade, and it was for that reason that he would call upon all present heartily to respond to the toast which had been confided to him, and which be submitted with all sincerity and earnestness, and which toast was, " The Metropolitan New Publicans' Protection Society."—(Great cheering.) Mr. atoms then proposed " The Public Press," which was duly honoured; after which Mr. ROBINSON proposed " The Ladies," which met with a similar reception. Mr. BISHOP next proposed, in an able speech, " The Brewers who have supported the Metropolitan New Pub licans' Protection Society," which was received with three times three. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

Mr. ASHLEY (the Solicitor to the Society) then gave The health of their worthy Chairman," which having been duly honoured and responded to, the vast assem blage proceeded to enjoy the light fantastic trip to the music of an excellent band, an amusement which was sustained with unabated spirit and relish; after which they retired to their home exceedingly gratified with the day's proceedings. Mr. Riggs performed the duties of toast-master in his usual masterly style, and all praise is due to Mr. Rouse, the worthy host, for the excellent manner in which he provided for the entertainment of his guests. The eighteenth half-yearly general meeting of this Com pany was held yesterday at the London-bridge station. This was the last meeting that will take place of this Company under that title, as it now forms part of the consolidated companies, called " The London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway." Mr. C. P. Grenfell, Chairman of the Company, presided. Mr. Buckton, the secretary, submitted the directors' report was as follows : "1 he gross revenue arising from traffic in the half-year ending the 30th of June last, shows an increase of 11,0001. upon the receipts for the corresponding period of last year, but this is not a fair criterion by which to estimate the pro gressive prosperity of the line, inasmuch as, owing to the re duction in fares since June, 1845, a greater amount of work had to be performed to obtain the same gross revenue, and a larger expenditure was also consequent upon the increased business. An exact comparison, therefore, of the present with the corresponding half-year has not been instituted, as it would lead to fallacious conclusions. The capital account shows an outlay on the main line for the half-year of 52,206 L, one considerable item in which, 13,686/., arises from the settlement of the last contract for works of any mag nitude, leaving one only of minor importance yet to be ad justed. The :next important charge is for the engine and carriage manufactory and workshops at Brighton, amounting to 21,5341. ; the remaiaing items being for machinery, new engines, carriages, waggons, &c., contracted for some time ago, and delivered since the last report. It is satisfactory to be able to add, that your working stock generally is in a complete state of effi ciency. The Chichester branch was opened throughout to the public on the Bth of June, and that to Lewes on the same day ; the latter was further opened within two miles of Hastings on the 27th of the same month. Both these branches already give promise of fully realising the expecta tions of your directors, although the development of the traffic cannot be expected till the line to Hastings and the stations there and at Chichester arc completed. In the last report you were informed that, by the then subsisting arrangement between the London and South-Western Rail way Company and yourselves, the portion of the line be tween Chichester and Portsmouth would be constructed at the joint cost of the companies; subsequent circumstances ave, he wever, occurred, which have resulted in the rem- tiun by your directors of the entire line. The works on this portion are proceeding satisfactorily ; and it is expected that LEEDS, Aucrsr G.

The Keymer and Hor sham branches are also in progress. Detailed information on the subject of the works generally will be contained in the report of your engineer. It is satisfactory to be able to state that, with the exception of the branch to Bognor and that to Dorking, every Bill applied for in the present session of Parliament has received the royal assent. They con sist, as follows, of the Wandsworth branch, East Grinstead branch, Steyning branch, Littlehampton branch, Newhaven branch, Hailshain branch, Eastbourne branch, and the Lon don and Brighton and London and Croydon Consolidation Bill. In reference to the last-mentioned Bill, namely, the consolidation of the Brighton and Croydon Com panies, under the new title of The London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway,'—your directors consider it expe dient to enter into an arrangement, in conjunction with the Croydon board, for the purchase of the Direct Portsmouth HULL.

Railway, which has kince obtained the sanction of the Legis lature, in opposition to the Guildford and Chichester project of the South-Western Company, which was rejected. The assent of the amalgamated company will be necessary to con firm this arrangement. An augmentation of the capital of the Company for the lines of this session will take place at an early date; but the creation of new stock can only be authorised at a meeting of the joint proprietary. In con nexion with the Newhaven Branch, mentioned in the fore going list, your directors think it right to call your especial attention to the urgent necessity of improving, by the esta blishment of a steam-packet company, the communication with the French coast. The railway from Rotten to Dieppe is in course of rapid construction ; and it is indispensable to provide in time for the development of a traffic with Paris, with Normandy, the south of France, and with the continent of Europe generally, the value of which to the railway in terests connected therewith must be of considerable import ance. Your directors stated in their last report that they intended taking advantage of the first favourable opportunity for bringing this subject again before you; that opportunity has now arrived, and therefore your directors have to inform you that, in full confidence of receiving your cordial concur rence, and in conformity with the general opinion of the pro, prietors on the former ocoasion, they have recently formed the basis of a company, for the purpose of affording superior steam communication between the Brighton lines and the French coast. A prospectus will be transmitted to each pro prietor in the amalgamated company. The revenue account submitted herewith shows a disposable balance for the half year ending 30th of June last of 58,1101., which, divided amongst 47,306 k shares, enables the directors to annnunce a dividend of 11. 4s. 6d. per share." The CHAIRMAN said, notwithstanding the alterations which had occurred during the last six months in the com forts and the circumstances of many individuals, owing to unfortunate speculation in railways, the Brighton line, in stead of decreasing its revenue, has increased, compared with the circumstancesof the corresponding six months, to the ex tent of between 10,000/. and 11,0001. in its profits, which he thought was a very satisfactory result.—(Hear, hear.) The report so fully detailed the position of the Company, that he hardly required to offer any explanation of its statements. There was, however, one circumstance to which he must al lude, namely, to the relations existing with the London and South-Western Company, which relations had been very considerably altered within the last six months. Circum stances had occurred during that period which had led to a disruption of the previously existing relations between the companies. The application lately made to Parliament by the London and Brighton Company, for power to construct the branch to Wandsworth, was founded on an agreement made with the South-Western Company, by which a toll was to be paid by the Brighton Company on that portion of the line leading from Wandsworth to London, and the advan tages thereby offered formed one of the inducements to make the application. The Brighton Company in return gave cer tain advantages to the South-Western Company, and natu rally acted on the agreement concluded. When the Brighton Company applied to the South-Western Company to give them the r.ecessary quid pro quo, in the shape of a toll clause, the latter, for reasons best known to themselves, refused to insert suchl a clause, thereby virtually refusing to legalise the agreement. There were other differences of opinion which the Brighton Company offered to submit to arbitration, but the South-Western Company refused, and the other party deeming that the South-Western board wished to break off the agreement, felt themselves compelled to consider that agreement at an end. The application to Parliament for sanction to the joint purchase of the ex• tension line from Chichester to Portsmouth was withdrawn, but the extension had been sanctioned by Parliament, and when the line is completed it will become part and parcel of the Brighton Company. He felt it due to the proprietors to make these observations, seeing that allusion to the agree ment had been made in the last report from the directors. There was one other subject of importance to which he would briefly advert, and that was the necessity of adopting effec tive steps to retain the traffic which the Company possessed with the Continent. To effect that it was expedient that a certain number of steamers should be placed on the station, either at Brighton, Newhaven, or Shoreham, as may here after be determined on. The basis of the Company bad been laid down in a prospectus, and he earnestly called on each proprietor to give his sanction and support to so important an undertaking. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. J. M. PARSONS, the Deputy Chairman of the Com pany, seconded the motion. In reply to a question from Mr. TAYLOR, Mr. RASTRICK, the engineer ; stated that he believed, so far as the engineerin g wor k s o f the various lines completed and in progress were concerned, the cost would not exceed the Parliamentary estimates. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a question as to the amount of calls which had been made for the completed lines, stated ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—ThiS intellec tual exhibition still continues to be crowd e d b y eager in quirers after scientific knowledge. During the past week, too, a more than usual tre a t h as b een prov i ded in the e'cr: quent lectures of Dr. Bachhoffner, on the application of the agent electricity to purposes connected with the economy of every-day life. To use the Profess or ' s own words, " that strange agent which dances in the Aurora Borealis, and sears and destroys in the lightning's flash, may be employed in its more modified forms to move machinery —to transfer through space the most rapid conversations—to explode masses of gunpowder, and even to print a lady's dress." In his excellent and particular mode the Doctor then proceeded to illustrate each of these truths by practical experiments-- giving in one lecture, in epitome, all that has been done and said on this mighty subject during the last twenty years. ACCIDENT To THE NEW MACHINERY AT THE GENERAL POST-OFFICE.—On Wednesday morning, at an early hour, during the morning duty, an accident, nearly at tended with circumstances of a fearfnl character to several of the letter-carriers, took place at the General Post-office. The particulars of the case are these :—The revolving shelves of the machine recently constructed for the purpose of raising and lowering both bags and men, with trays of letters and newspapers, and which is worked by means of steam power, from the breaking of one of the cogged wheels suddenly re volved at a frightful rate while several men were upon it with letters and newspapers. The effect was such that many of the men were obliged to jump off at the hazard of their limbs, while others were hurled from the shelving-boards with great violence upon the floor. Suddenly the action stopped, while others of the officers were upon the machine, and before either they or the newspapers and letters could be extricated, it was found necessary to force away the iron work, a matter which occupied upwards of an hour and a half, which delayed upwards of 4,000 of theCitv letters. For tunately no lives were lost, nor were any bones broken. This is the third accident occasioned by this new contrivance since its erection for post-office purposes. THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.—Since the recent accident on the Eastern Counties Railway, a set of signals have been put at all the stations, consisting of upright posts, from twenty to thirty feet in height, having two arms, which on the passing of a train are raised. The arms are painted red, and at night a red light is affixed to them. Near the Stratford station the signal is placed on the opposite side of the line to the old signal, so that it can be seen at a much greater distance. With respect to the sufferers by the accident, the majority are progressing favourably, but we regret to state that Mr. W. Cotton, the Chairman of the Ilford Board of Magistrates, is still unable to resume hismagis l. We shall be from this curious t t h er e ia l l B d th ut u ie it s . , in consequence of the injuries he received on Mr. Labouchere, we see, has given noti ce . of the inten t gfrieshaveshArnis B resulted measure during the three years it has been in op era ti on, to hear rterswthoa re new tadvantages justify its renewal. : ---phroniele. inten tion oM to Minis ters We understand that an expedition which promises the most important results, both to science and commerce, is at this moment fitting out for the purpose of navigating some of the most unexplored rivers in South America. It is to be under the command of Lord Ranelagh. Several noble men and gentlemen have already volunteered to accompany his Lordship, and the enterprising and scientific band, it is said, will sail as soon as the necessary arrangements shall be completed. THUNDER-STORM AT CHICHESTER, AND Loss Cr LIFE.—A dreadful storm of thunder and lightning occurred in this neighbourhood about nine o'clock on Wednesday morning. The thunder, lightning, and rain were so violent and so alarming, that all the harvest folds were quickly de serted. One of the reapers was proceeding to a cottage for shelter, with his reaping-hook upon his shoulder, which attracted the lightning, and the poor fellow's clothes were in an instant scorched up, and he was struck dead. His body, we are informed, presented a shocking ap pearance.

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 umbrageous trees of great size and stateliness, interspersed with ornamental 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 suit 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 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 ornamental 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.

And to omit a pangyric upon THE ANCIENT TAPESTRY THAT ADORNS THE MATE 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 exceedingly 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 veritable and unassuming report. This descrip tion, it is perceived, has already extended beyond the limits pre scribed, and therefore (with lament) the writer ends this very im perfect recital, merely observing that the terms used 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 183$, which weighed 18st. 41b., and for size and beauty it has never been equalled. The tenantry are very respectable, and without one guinea of arrear ; indeed the latter word could not find a place in ,heir vocabulary. The rent Is exceedingly low. The deme'sne ex .ends to nearly TWELVE HUNDRED ACRES OF RICH MEADOW, PASTURE, ARABI:I,Tip-ivoOn-lANDS, MOSTLY TITHE-FREE, AND TAXES MODERATE Such is a faithful narrative, that it needs not to be observed is very uncommon; 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 ofsale, a fact which every day renders .more and more certain, that " WE HAVE ALL BEEN YORE 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 arsongst those who prefer to domesticate in this ad mired county, and within a few miles of the abbey, in the adjoining county of Somerset, are the splendid seats of Earl I'oulett and Lord Bridport. Markets are everywhere abundant ; in fact, Mr. Robins has taxed his Ingenuity en vain to try to discover a fault.
