IN DORSETSFIIRE, The• DEMESNES of FORD ABBEY, together with all its MA NORIAL RIGHTS, FISHERY, and never-ending delights, with its celebrated MANSION and OFFICES, and the remains of the finest Monastery in England. The ESTATE around it approach ing 2,0001. a year, free of tithe; near to TAUNTON, and ap proximating upon the . best part of SOMERSET and DEVON SHIRE. R. GEORGE ROBINS is exceedingly happy i_v ot to announce to the Public, and especially the higher order, that he is instructed by'lhe Trustees of JOHN FIIANCEIS GWYN, ESQ., to offer to public competition, at the Auction Mart, London, on Thumper, the 18th of June, at Twelve o'clock, A PRINCELY ESTATE AND DOMAIN, freehold of inheritance, and known and appreciated throughout the west of England as THE FORD ABBEY DEMESNES, where it stands commended by public opinion as the great lion of the country, and one of the finest things in England. Mr. Robins has not yet had the gratification of a personal survey, and therefore will reserve its deserved encomium until he has inlisted the public attention by a very condensed hint or two, 'which he has taken the liberty to borrow from DILIGDALE'S HISTORY OF FORD ABBEY, and which authority, Mr.. Robins imagines, will be appre ciated beyond his, even when he has encountered the proposed en joyment he•has in view; it will at present suffice to say, THE MANSION EXHIBITS •IN ITS OUTWARD FORM A CHASTE DISPLAY OF PURE ARCHITECTURE, EXTENDING TO A 300 FEIYr•FRONTAGE. placed in A PARK OF EXCEEDINGLY GREAT BEAUTY, FULL OF DEER, wherein the Woodland Scenery and the Waters contend for the prowl ascendancy. The history of this property is not a little interesting, and Mr. Robins intends to append it to his descriptive particulars; it may be, however, stated, that it is ha every respect adapted to and _ . _ WORTHY TO BE A ROYAL ABODE ; the offices of every description are commensurate ; and the gardens, lawns, and pleasure-grounds are quite beantiful. THE CELEBRATED RIVER AXE • PROGRESSES THROUGH THE PROPERTY WITPI ITS FAMED TROUT FISHERIES; and a sporting gentleman of rank will find everything he can desire for m:les around him. It really should be noticed that there is still the celebrated MONKS' WALK, KEPT IN THE HIGHEST STATE OF PRESERVATION.

However, the effort must be made ; firstly, IT IS DECIDEDLY, FOR ITS SIZE, • THE MOST ELIGIBLE, AND CERTAINLY THE MOST COMPACT PROPERTY THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.

The rates are unusually small, arising out of the fact that they are paid by a compromise with the LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY, • whose line passes through Willeuhall. The soil is of first-rate quality, as the crops annually demonstrate, and the rick•yards verify:"Every Farm possesses a superior dwelling, withlarge.garden, and the build ings essential for agricultural purposes are unexceptionable,. in fact, everything is in the most perfect apple-pie order.

On Saturday night, a few minutes before nine o'clock, the neighbourhood of Drury-lane NV , IS thrown into the greatest state of eqnsternalion by the commission of anoths-r of those horrible acts of attempted a.sassinatit n which in this instance., as in the rec. at One, trill, with out doubt, prove fatal in its consequenus. It appears from informatiun obtained by the reporter from tnose who were witnesses of the diabolical de:d, that about ten minutes before nine o'clock the unfortunate victim, a lithographic printer, named Biewett, residing at IS, White Hart-yard, Drury-lane, was returning home 'from ' his employment, - al;(1 walking down Drarplanc, from the dire,ttion of Great Qi-en strec!-, toward; . - Princes-street. . On the arrived of the unrortnnat-e man near 211org,:n's diaing.rilflin! , , situate at the corner of' - Prince•str( et, a youth was el sarrod- te§lep Leforo him find fire a pistol.directly r,t hi:: Breast. A - man named Sa . nluel Scnderucl, who was dritil=_lng cut,ide the ptitlio house exactly opposite, hear. ing the report, ran across the road, and sticeeeded in catching- Blewett in his arms, as he was staring. The poo r f e ll ow exclaimed, " Oh, I am shot," and: the blood was seen i ssu i ng from the front of. his shirt.- - At this moment the youth Who had fired, took to his heels, . • the direcCon of Great Queen-street, pursued by In police constable Dunsford, 83 F. The wounded mon w yeyed to the shop of a surgeon, in Drury-lann wh.:sreeGnr; opening his shirt, it was discivered that he ba " d -- rece u I . a bullet wound in. the left breast, from which,' the Hood ved .• Was flowing. ' lle was Conveyed to King's College Hos pital, whsre, on being examined by Mr. Wacker, the -- house surgeon, .it was ascertained that the bail bad entered the left breast, and passed out at the right breast. hie is also of opinion that the wound is mortal. Imme diate information was forwarded relative to the sad oc currence to the wife of Blewett, and she lost no time in procce7liag to the bedside of ' her unfortunate husband aat the hospital:. He was . at this time able to speak, and stated that he was wholly unconscious of who had shot him, and that he had not the slightest quarrel with any person. On inspection of the pistol, it was found to have been recently discharged. It is a heavy barrilled pistol, such as is used by the police, with a flint lock upon it, and the Luilets are rather small for ir, being about double the size of a pea. William Hathaway, residing in Drury-lane, states that he was close to the youth when he fired, and was so stunned with the 'suddenness of the report that he could not tell whether he took deliberate aim or not ; but he raw him stand for a second afterwardS with the pistol in his hand ; and it was not until he saw the assassin run away that he recovered himself; and then he ca ll e d "Police 1" an d po i nted him out, whilst running, to the constable. Dunsford, the police-constable, continued his pursuit, without losing sight of the accused, until he.arrived in Little Queen-street (singularly enough, the place where the murderer Wick was captured), and where he took the prisoner into custody. EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER AT BOW STREET. On the accused being token into custody by the con stable he still had the pistol in his hand with which he had committed the act, and on being searched a powder flask, containing a considerable quantity of powder, and a numbe.r of bullets were found en his person. He trembled very violently and was quite out of breath from running, but as soon as he recovered himself he ex claimed to Dunsford that it was an accieent. On his arrival at the Bow-street station the prisoner was paced within the bar until Mr. Superintendent Pierce, who was at Covent-garden Theatre at the moment, was sent for. During this interval he trembled exceed ingly and frequently buried his face in his hands. The accused is of exceedingly juvenile appearance, wiih dark hair, Fallow complexion, and rather long features. He was attired in a most respectable manner in a brown surtout, black waistcoat and trowsers, and wore a shirt collar turned over a black silk handkerchief a la Byron. The charge was entered, and, on being interrogated by the inspector, he said in a very tremulous voice, " My name is John Brahace •, I was fifteen years old last January. I reside at No. 31,• Harrison -street, Gray's Inn-road, and am clerk to Mr. Humby, a soli citor, No. 8, Regent-street ; I mean Lower Regent street, aer Waterloo crescent. Inspector Black—You are charged with shooting a man in Drury-lane with a pistol.—The prisoner —It was quite an accident. The accused was then removrd. On the prisoner's person was found 2/. in gold and about 14 or 15 shillings in silver. The wounded man is described as an ex tremely fine, J.lll_man. • From all that has transpired on the subject, it is be , licved that both individuals were strangers to each other, which is confirmed by the fact that the wounded man, when asked, had no idea •by whom the shot was fired, and that opinion is still confirmed by the taowing state ment of a female of the name of Louisa ("wk . Jivina_at 7AT - ft - tie - Mlle porker—bile slates that just before the act was committed she was pas Sing down Drury lane, when z youth, whom she has identified to be the one in cus tody, was passing her, was pushed against by a man, when he instantly turned round, and seizing her by the throlt, said to her, in a violent Lone, "If it was not for one thing I would do for you," and at the same moment drawing a pistol from, as she stfres . , under his arm, pre sented it at her. Being terribly alarmed, she forced herself from his grasp and ran off, and in a very few minutes afternards she heard of Blewett having been shot. Up to a late hour a large crowd was congregated at the spot in Drury-lane where the occurrence happened, ; so that an extra body of police was required to be in at tendance to keep the thoroughfares clear. On inquiry at the station-house it was stated that the prisoner was not at all communicative, and that he had ,been placed in a cell with two policemen. The officer selected for the purpose of visiting the re idence of the accused, No. 1, Harrison-street, Gray's lan road, was Police-sergeant Pocock, of the F divi- Sion. On his arrival at the house he found that Bra ham's father is a grocer, in a most respectable way of business, having lived in the neighbourhood, and being the owner of ennsiderAle property there, for many years. On making Mr. Braham acquainted wit!) the position his son was in, he expressed no considerable surprise at it, and added that it was what they expected, for they never could stop his taste for fire-arms. On proceeding to the accused's bed-room on the three pair back, he searched it, and found two guns, a shot bag containing a quantity of shots, a powder flask full of powder, a box containing a quantity of bullets, a bullet mould, and several pieces of metal for making bullets. He also found a small cannon and a canister which had contained powder, but which was empty. There were also screw-drivers and a number of other instruments used for 'removing locks, &c., from fire-arms. He also found in the accused's box a book of a most mischievous tendency, called " Statham's First Steps in Chemistry," Useful as an instructor in experiments to youth of both sexes. The' father of the accused accompanied Pocock to the st Ilion. He identified the pistol as belonging to his son, but was not permitted to see him. §OCIETY FOR THE PROMOTION AND IMPROVEMENT OF THE GROWTH OF FLAX IN IRELAND. The monthly committee meeting of this body was held on Wednesday, March 25, in their rooms, Commercial-build ings, Belfast; present, Andrew Mulholland, Esq., J.P., in the chair; George Creer, John Charters, Richard Hull, James Campbell, Robert M‘Kibbin, M.D., John Borthwick , John Boyd, Richard Nevin, John Crainsie, Esqs., and the Rev. F . Blakely. The Secretary, after reading the treas u rer's monthly statement, reported, that since the last monthly meeting the following letter had been received : "Treasury, March 6, 1846. "Sir,—l am desired by Sir Robert Peel to inform you, that he has read, with attention and great pleasure, the reports of the Society for Pronioting mid Improving the Culture of Flax in Ireland. He trusts that the efforts directed to so lau jaldblebeagnsdleimaypeoroanstsenand o a bj d ee o t n N a v t i i l o l n m o ee f t 2 w s i l t . h , l a y m it p h le h s i u s eee be s s s t , wishes for the welfare of the society.—l have the honour to be your obedient humble servant, " " James Mac A da m, j un., Esq., Secretary YOUNG. to the Flax Society, &c., &c." It Was resolved that the thanks of the society should be respectfully given to Sir R. Peel, for his appreciation of the importance of the society's objects, and for his handsome donation to its funds. • The assistants, who were being trained by Mr. Patterson, in'the Belgian mode of handicutching, had now been ren dered competent to give instructions in this system, in the districts . to which they will be allocated, in. the south and west of Ireland. The quantity of clean flax turned out, by each individual, varied from 91bs to 141bs. ; and samples were- exhibited to the committee, which were much approved of, f rom th e neatness of the work. As the sowing season was now fast approaching, the agricul turists, and their assistants had received orders to hold themselves in readiness to leave for their districts ; and two had already proceeded to the counties Kilkenny and Cork.. • Letters were read from individuals in various parts of Ireland relative to the instructions of the society's men ; and samples of flax were shown from Galway and Clare, which, although fire-dried and prepared in the old system, showed clearly the good natural qualities which would have been brought out by a more careful system of management. An interesting letter was submitted from the Right Hon. the Knight.of Kerry, with a sample of flax of very fair quality. The following extract may prove of interest:— "Although I confine myself, at present, to those specific points, and cannot venture on the general question, I will not suppress the exultation I feel at the resuscitation 9f the flax manufacture in Ireland, under the patriotic efforts of your society. I have always looked on the linen as the congenial mAnufacture of Ireland; it is impossible to estimate the importance of its extension throughout our population. Al though my time of life obliges ms to withdraw from on personal interference in public concerns, I shall be most glad if I can influence others, more suited to it, to a co operation in the laudable purposes you palyndtol the popula tion' flair market. On this particular proper s 3 a ' do riot despair of Kerry furnishing a co h n a s v id e et i a t u bL ie rup ; angr,eat d both in have extensive employment, yet t e h n e er ro al i ; defi ciency of work throughout Kerry in th e y . cannot a more culturebenefici allyNiand w preparationhich hhe bad theit fields and in their homes, apply their efforts than to of flax."

It not only afforded a most profitable mode of fattening upon home-groivn produce and rendered th e fl ax crop much more valuable by the judi cious economy of the seed—a product which bad hitherto . . been very-much neglectel in Ireland—but the consumption of the latter returned to the soil. in the form of manure. the greater portion of the constituents abstraeteci-by the growing crop, from it.. It was arranged that the specimens of linen, damask, and, cambric, which gained the first prizes at the Society's exhibition in November hist, and which were Made exclusively of Irish flax, should be presented, at an early opportunity, to her Mr.jeqy the Queen ; and • that the Marquis of Downshire, as President,- and the Earl Of Erne and Lord Lurgan, as Vice-Presidents of. the Society, should be requested to arrange the presentation. The Secretary was in strutted; on the. return of the agriculturists from their la bolus, after the seed time, to visit the members of the I .society, amon g ' th e English and Scotia flax-.-spinners, to solicit their support ; on an increased scale, since the- opera 'Lions of the society were now so extensive, and their success en promising, that, while they must confer great hoiefit for the j>opuraqon of the distridts into which they H=ers-being carried, they viii be pro . hictis.-e -of very impqrtant results ou the British and Irish am tr.tde. :It was mentioned, in Utz! con. se of conversation, that hrge orders for flax sciitehing inAchinery were;now being exeezited in Belf a st, for the Paella of .ggypt, Az Brittany, Bohemia, and Bel gium ; while, such had 11 1 0f1" the iut-Q,E.:-.'st excited by the pro?ress of:the Fl.rx Improvement Socl6ty.of.
