NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR ANCE SOCIETY, of grey peas for dinner, without meat or tread ; at another house he saw the wife and children eating the very refuse of potatees, without meat or bread. I could enumerate many other instances of the same kind, and, upon inquiry, he found in each case the men employed and in receipt of the usual wages of the district, and considered sober and industrious men ; yet this was the best fare they could provide for their families. " Not many months since upwards of one thousand females were employed in the vicinity of Stratford Marsh, at staywaking. After labouring the whole of the day, the very best workwomen could only earn from - Mr. to 2id., and the inferior from Id. to lid. per day." Mr. Blocs of Leicester, said it was his painful duty to be compelled to state that the distress which had hi therto existed had greatly increased of late in. Leicester, and was still increasing. He should submit some facts to the meeting, which would sufficiently prove the dis tress to be on the increase ; and, alluding to the future, he must say he saw no hope of relief. He expected that next winter the distress in Leeds would be greater than was ever known at any previous period of hiti"his tory. In 1840 the poor-rates amounted to 10,9751. ; in 1841 they had increased to 15,594/. ; and in ttuagat. quarter of the present year they amounted to 5,120/. In addition to these heavy rates they had been compelled to enter into a public subscription, by which means 2,000/. was raised for the relief of the poor belonging to the adjoining districts resident in Leeds, who had such a strong objection to go back to the agricultural districts to which they belonged that they remained in the town, choosing to submit to the liabilities of the law, . which they did by begging and vagrancy. The number of these people bud increased to such an extent that a troop of horse had been quarter, d with them, fearing an out break, which was a thing unprecedented in that town. Since 1815 the fall in the wages of labour was 35 per cent., the full of frameproperty 40 per cent., and the fall of house property 30 per cent. In 1801 there were 250 houses unoccupied ; in 1841 there were 650 ; and in 1842 there were 1,600 unoccupied houses, one-seventh of all the dwellings in the town. Some of these statements had been already made by Sir J. Easthope in the House of Commons ; and he (Mr. Biggs) could corroborate every word that the Hon. Gentleman had said upon the subject of distress. In Hinckley the people were in the greatest distress, and had been for some time, one twelfth of the whole population, 7,000, being employed in breaking stones in the bastile - yard. He (Mr. Biggs) had always observed that dear years of corn were in variably years of suffering, and cheap years, of prosperity, comfort, and happiness. In 1834, 1835, and 1836, for example, when corn did not average mare than 425. a quarter, the working classes were tomfortable, and in a high state of prosperity. In those years the firm, of which he (Mr. Biggs) was a partner, paid 1,0001. a week in wages, it now paid no snore than 3001. A gentleman from Sheffield stated at the Conference a day or two ego, that he would undertake to take on 500 more men to-morrow if the Corn-laws were repealed ; he (Mr. B.) would not be so confident as to say that he would take on the number to-morrow, • but he had no doubt that under those circumstances, he should feel no difficulty in employing double the men next year that he did now. Those who had sent him there as a delegate, had desired him to express their grateful thanks for the tone, manner, and perseverance,: which they (the Con ference) had displayed in continuing this deputation. He trusted they would continue. their sittings, and they must succeed, as any cause founded on high moral prin ciples.and sound justice always did. They ,must per severe, and spite of good report and evil report continue, and press forward this great and glorious cause, till they , achieved a triumph, and produced a happy , consum mation.--(Loud cheers.) Mr. BRIGHT rose to bring before the notice of the a letter which has been received from Chorley, Lancashire, detailing one of those horrible cases of destitution to which the suffering population of this country are driven : " Chorley, July 22, 1842. " Sir,—Thinking that the following statement of facts, whiS iiccurred under my notice, might possibly serve to convince some incredulous people that there really is dis tress in the country, and that of no common kind, I beg to inform you of it, the correctness of which 1 am, able to prove, if necessary, by the evidence of credible wit nesses. About the 19th of May last a farmer, named Richard Pilkington, of Duxburv, gave me the carcase of a cow which had been dead three days, for the purpose lof feeding my dog with it. After having it near my .table for a day, the smell arising from it was so very offensive, that I determined to bury it, but before I had accomplished this object, a number of calico-printers, who had been out of work for some time, hearing that 1 Thad this carcase, came to me, and begged and prayed that I would give them some of it. This lat first re fused to do, as I could no: think of allowing them to eat what I feared would prove injurious, but so urgent were their importunities, that at last I consented, after warn ing them repeatedly that I would not be accountable or the result. Before doing so, however, I had suggested that if they really would take it, it would be well to let it remain a day or two in a brine of saltpetre, to take away, if possible, some of the impurities arising front disease. They exclaimed, in almost these words— " Wait a day or two ! it's impossible ; we cannot wait. Think of our wives and families ; do give give it us, pray do." Unable to refuse any longer. I consented, when they set to work, and cut up this putrid carcase, each man and woman taking as much as they could carry. By and by, in came one poor person after another to get, if possible, some portion of this flesh. I understood about six fami lies partook of it. One man, who was formerly in good circumstances, evidently reluctant to be seen taking such nauseous food, lingered about for some time, but, at length. as if driven to desperation, seized a piece, which, lie folded up in a cloth, and then biding it under his coat, walked away as quickly as he could. One of these men told me this morning, that when in full work, he earned Il.os. to 308. per week, but for the last six or eight months his' earnings have not exceeded 2s. per week on an average. After this took . place, one man who got a share of the prize, actually took me to what he called his shambles, and sh6Ted me some of the flesh salted. If required, I am prepared to state the names of several of these people, but refrain from doing so unnecessarily, as it would only increase their misery to have their poverty made more public. The above is a fact, and I shall be happy to reply to any further inquiries you may wish to in Ike on the subject. It may possibly be confounded with the one furnished by Mr. Hyland, which is, however, quite a distinct case, but equally true. "I have the honour to remain, Sir, yours with respect, " GEORGE LIVESEY, Veterinary Surgeon." Mr. Bright continued—To comment upon this melancholy narratien is surely unnecessary. It must be borne in mind, that in times of ordinary _prosperity, the people of (Thorley, and the whole of the manufacturing districts, are in a condition ofconsiderable comfort, and in a state Or independence far exceeding that of the great bulk of labourers in districts not enriched by manufac tures. They are able to procure and to enjoy all the necessaries, and not a few of the luxuries of life. They are possessed of education, and their children are not neglected, and they feel themselves to be of some worth in the country. All this gives them an indepen dence of feeling and thought, and a sensitiveness as to maintaining their position, too frequently wanting amongst the operative clashes. To men such as these soverty is indeed a calamity, when it is joined with a ,etrowledge that existence must henceforth be obtained rrom the poor's-rates, a fund which all honest- minded men shun almost as long as life can be maintained without assistance from it.—(Cheers.) marvel that their sufferings have been silently endured. and without the commission of acts of violence ; but 1 believe that few of us are fully aware of the information :.nd intelligence existing amongst a large portion of the working men. That this patient endurance should be the great theme of admiration when our statesmen dis cuss the causes of, and the remedy for, the national dis tress.ia not to be wondered at ; but with the 'admiration expressed, it would be well to mingle some real commi seration, and some earnest attempts to arrest the progress of the scourge which is daily taking a wider range over our ill-fated country.—(Cheers.) The letter I have read is no solitary instance of the extremity to which men are driven by the sufferings of hunger. It is but an example of much that is now going on in many districts. General distress is indeed admitted by many of the monopolists. The facts we have produced in this room at this meeting, and on many former occasions, will not be lost on the mind and on the feelings of the British people. They well know that starvation and famine are not decreed by the Omnipotent Ruler, who has provided abundantly for the wants of all his creatures, but that the miserable policy, the wretched wrong-doing, the cupidity, and the blindness of the infatuated men who have usurped the power they wield, who have enthroned themselves above God, and king, and law," have thus cursed the land with barrenness and c au se d haggard want to be an in mate of the homes of millions of their countrymen. — ( Loud cheers.) But it is not the avowed m onopolists done who refuse to give relief' to their suffering, 1)1%1 I: rot. The parasitical plants, ewer entwining around the titled and the great, such is the man who, to the disgrace of Holton be it said, has been returned as their representa tive in conjunction with that noble free trader Dr.l3ow ring. I'he time is come when the people must look well to their representatives. 'The calamities which menace its upo n every side will admit of no halting between good and evil. If constituencies would do anything to save their country they mu st have 'nen who firml y adhere to their principles, tend who are careless of the smiles and blandishments of titled and aristocratic patrons—we must learn the doctrine of self-reliance. if the pe , pie are to prosper and to triumph it must be through their own intelligence and power, and the .honest and wise ex vrcise of their political rights.—(Loud cheers.)

The Catholicssof England are at the present moment in a state of union and organization, perfect ter all defensive pur poses, and sufficient to secure the ultimate redress of all the wrongs of which they still have to complain. The fact, how ever, that two Catholic papers exist, opposed to one another in interest, and by no means co-inciding in political sentiments, is calculated to mislead those unacquainted with the Catholic body, into :a belief, untrue, but dangerous, that the Catholics are no longer united, no longer capable of that combined action, which it was one of the objects of the Catholic Institute to ensure. It has, therefore, been the wish of several of the Catholic Bishops, and many of the Catholic nobility and gentry, that the unseemly exhibition to which the rivalry of " The Tablet" and " The True Tablet" has given rise, should cease ; and -in -deference to that opinion the proprietor of the former paper has been induced to discontinue it. On the other hand, a wish has been expressed by the same distinguished individuals, that a Journal should be established wholly divested of politics, and devoted to Ecclesiastical Intel ligence, Literature, Science, and the Fine Arts. In com pliance with that wish, a new Journal will appear on Saturday, July 30th, to bo called " The_Catholic ; an Ecclesiastical and Literary Journal for the Catholics of the British Esapire." The scheme of "The Catholic" includes such Parliamentary intelligence as may affect the interests of the Catholic Church, and contemplates also leading articles ou the religious topics of the day, whether such be connected with the internal condi tion of the Church, or its external relations only. In the Literary Department the object will be to snake the reader ac quainted with the beet works of the day, with the progress of science, the labours of naturalists, the state of the flue arts, as well in this country as abroad ; and especially to correct his torical errors which bear against the conduct or doctrines of Catholics, and to -refute-the numberless calumnies disseminated against Catholicity through the, Press, in whatever shape, or from whatever source they may come. It is believed that a Journal of this nature, altogether free from political - discussion, save where the question in debate affects the. Catholic Church, cannot but commend itself to Catholics generally, both at home and in the colonies. There can be no difference of opinion among Catholics When the in terests. of -religion are concerned ; and when the interests of religion are not concerned no political sentiments will be ex pressed. - The Catholic is the property of an Association of Catholic Gentlemen, who propose raising funds for carrying it on by means of shares, of which more than one-half have been ac tually subscribed foi. ' These Gentlemen who may be desirous of supporting the Catholic, by taking any of the remaining shares, can receive the requisite information on applying, by letter pre-paid, to Mr. C.

IADVERTISEMENT..I IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WHO EXPECT TO DE' AIVE. BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—Schweppe's Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised world, that any enconium on its merits might appear super fluous; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele brated Water continues to be manufactured on the largest scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London ; and also at their three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ; and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. The just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de (mord for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public. The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious article for " Szhweppe's." by selling it in Nchweppe's marked bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe rior water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously palmed on the public for the genuine—the reputation of the latter is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its legitimate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe and Co. have adOpted the plan of placing a Red Label over the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment in the centre, and the name o f their firm on each side, with out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with pride to the fact that they constant ly supply the Royal Palaces of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the three kingdoms ; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less constant on the continent and in other parts of the world. Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the EttAt and West Indies and our numerous Colonies arc continually transmitting orders received from their respective agents and correspondents, and highly gratif)ing is the testimony Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from gentle men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their Soda Water when met with in tropical climates, and of the high condition in which it is generally found. The Water ordered for foreign countries is manufactured with an express reference to its destination, and it is well known that no other can equally well endure the variations of climate. Sehweppe's !..emonatle is an elegant preparation of more recent intro duction, but from its refreshing and wholesome properties is rapidly getting into extensive reputation. It is an del vescing draught of most agreeable flavour, and made of the best mate rials, without regard to cost. Physicians and- medical men constantly recommend it in cases of fever, &c., nor is it less de sirable as an article of luxury. Every genuine bottle will have a yellow lable on its side, with the name and address of the firm. Schweppe and Co. are the largest importers of the German Seltzer Water, which they receive direct from the springs, in quarts and pints, and which they offer to the public in the original packages, N.B.—Export orders for all climates executed on the shortest notice. The Society of Progress, of Brussels sent, some time back, fifterseven pigeons to Liverpool, with orders to have them let loose on the 4th instant. This was done to:cordingly, and the following is the result of the trial :—The first pigeon returned on the 11th, and gained the chief prize for M. Camille de Bast, of Gh en t, a member of the Society ; the second came home on the 12th, belonging to the same, gentlemau ; the third on the 14th, the property of M. Jolly, of Brussels ; and the fourth later on the same day, belonging; the winner of the first and second prizes. The delay, is attributed to the contrary winds which were prevalent on the day they were let off. or the lift) pigeons, upwards of thirty had returned from London some time before, in another trial, and more than twenty have come back from Orleans, Tours, Vendom and Lyons. .

Mr. EDWARDB, or TAmbeth, ri`enttattootiti tion II a petition, to the effect that the ',regent 1. - arna- Inept be dissolved. . . Mr. UVERIIIIILY, of WC;itbliry, •- wati neither • Whig ner Tory, but a free-trader. Ire Wiis sent there toserrescut the manullteturers and traderS of Westbury, in Wilts. If the meeting had heard of distress in the northern and midland districts the case was no las despe rate hr the wast. The people were in a starving condition; the distress had latterly inoreased. The bulk-=of eke po pulation at the present time were entirely Without em ployment, except such as they obtained from the parish authorities.(ilear, hear.) The average wages of the weavers had not been mere than four or five_shillings each for the last eighteen months. The character of the population generally, was very orderly. They ought to be very jealous of applying the work hcase test to such a population. The trade of the town war principally a home trade ; and be frequently took jour nies as one of the partners, to the midland districts for orders. Formerly he had seen large quantities of the goods which they manufactured in the halals of the working classes at Birmingham and other places ; new they appeared to be %hay destitute of them. He then road the following letter from Westbury :-- 7 " Westbury, July 19, 1842. " Sir,—having understood that you are going to Lon don to represent the state of the 'manufacturers ire this plane to the Anti-Corn-law Conference, we, the ship - .keepers of the town ar.d neighbourhood, request you will make the following statement on our behalf :—We have for some time past experienced a growing depressiosi in trade. Our returns are painfully declining. The working classes have not the means to purchase, and we are unable to continue our accustomed credit. The poor are destitute. The middling classes - are seriously straitened ; and, unless sonic change can be effected in trade, a very painful crisis mast overtake its. It aggravated the distress, that the middle classes wire now utterly unable to relieve the distress of their fellow-townsmen. Suck being the condition of the town he hoped he would not. have. to go back to Westbury with Sir Robert Peel'S. compliments and hopes that times would soon .be better. Much had been said about Providence hi connexion with the distress. It was not the first tine that the wickedness of legislators had been charged upon Pry vidence. Whilst they had been endowed.with intelli gence to discover the cause of the distress, it was not just to attribute to Providence that which wits the result of refusing to allow a free interchange of labour. He believed that the repeal of the Corn-laws would be beneficial, not only to the trhesmen but to the agriculturists_ themselves. Competition had sharpened the wits of the manufacturers, and he believed it would turn the agriculturistS :from their present condition into a scientific, persevering, and intellectual set of men, as well as frce them from servile dependance on their landlords. On this, as well as every other ground of policy and justice, lie thought a repeal of the Corn-laws would eopler great bendit on the country. . . . _ . TAYLon, of Coventry, said it had been as serted in the House by Mr. Hawes the, other night that the opposition offered to the Committee. of Supply was - factious. Now what was !action ? He maintained that the term factious could only be applied whcin the end was factious, and it could not be factious to attempt to obtain food fur a starving people. The question was one in which every man, woman, and child, who lived by the eating: :.of food, had a direct interest ; and those members of the House of Commons who endeavoured to stop the sup plies. to secure food for the people, were rot, and could not on that account be , called, factious. This conduct was said to be inconsistent with the verY,character of a representative govermnent ; it could not be inconsistent with that which did not exist.— (Hear.) He maintained that the 14onduct of Sir ii. Peel was emphatically the tious ? And why ? Because he had made free-trade speeches, whilst he had proposed no measures for carry ing unt his principles.—[,Hear, hear.) M. EDWARDS, of Lambeth, said it should be stated, in justice to Hawes, that he hail eta ays voted for the repeal of the Corn, lass s. Mr. SNITD, of Collie, said he, ought to have been on his road to Manchester, it' Sir IL Peel's assertion re specting the improvement in trade had been correct, but he believed that it was altogether unfounded. The pro perty of tradesmen in the town which lie represented had been depreciating in value to a foto-fill extent for the last three or four years. SacrifiCes were king corvantly made by persons in every branch of trade and • manufac ture. lie himself bad lost no less a sum than three thousand pounds within the space of three months, and lie believed many of his townsmen had sustained losses nearly as g re a t as his own. • From whom were they suffering ? They ,were sintering from the Duke of Buckingham and his party—those men who would blast the land with barrenness for the sake of their own selfish interests. He believed that by availing themselves of every 'constitutional resource they would at length attain their object. _ _ Mr. S. SMITH next delivered an eloquent address to the meeting, chiefly insisting upon the impo.liev of taix ing up the question of the repeal of the Corsi-laws with the political objects of the Chartists. Such a union would be fatal to the great end they had in view. The question of a repeal of the Corn-laws was one of humanity, and would be lowered by being united with any other, seeking for political privileges. It was a pressing question, involving the right of a:0 people to be . fed, and could not be postponed till the suffrage was conferred. Death was making his victiniv) amorgit the starving millions, and they could not delay to• obtain paper constitutions. This was a question fitted to awake the energies of the English people. History showed that all their revolutions and insurrpc lions arose from the pressure of unjust taxation. The system of benevolences bad procured lagna Charta ; head-money produced Watt Tyler, and ship-money evoked John Hampden. They must succeed by perse verance, by not receding from the high ground on which they took their stand, and concentrating public opinion upon the question. The bread-taxing thousands must give way bef;ire the patient perseverance of the bread-taxed millions. The progress of the Corn- law question showed this. When — Mr. Hume, in 1829, moved a resolution in favour of a 20s. dtity instead of the then existing law, he could get but 12 persons to support him. But the question progressed, and now they had near 300 who recorded their votes aguinst these laws.—(Cheers.) He had himself %%Moiled the prcgress of this question in the House of Commons, Ile - recollected when first brought before the Hm,s; by Mr. Villiers, it MIS the signal for general rush to dinner ; and when Ilonourablo Members came back about eleven o'clock, noises more discordant than ever proceeded front a managerie issued forth, and thus the question was brought to a con clusion. But how different was the scene on Friday night ? The able and eloquent speech of Mr. Citi.;o4i, the manly and indignant address of Mr. Villiers, the straight forward and English appeal of Mr. Fielden,i n d th e bold and hearty denunciations of Mr. Cobden were listened to in silence by the country gentlemen ; and, beaten in argument and in facts, they must soon relinquish their hold of the Corn-laws, anti allow the people to eat un taxed bread.—(llear, hear.) Mr. LEWIS hoped the excellent address they had just heard would be printed in a pamphlet form fur distrilm tion.—(flear, hear.) The Conference then adjourned till this day. HUNTING AND SHOOTING VILLA it cannot be too highly appreciated. Its outward form, by means of the stone galleries and balconies in two directions, are of an im posing character, and the Lawn and Pleasure Grounds, extending to the little Park, form a landscape of no small attraction—indeed the property is so prettily timbered, that it seems to claim a rank beyond its natural pretensions. rite principal rooms on the ground. floor are all in communication with the galleries, thence to the Lawn and paddocks. The Bed-room department is abundant, and there are all the offices essential to render it most desirable for oc cupation. There is a snug little Farm conrected, extending to THE NEW FOREST, WHICH IS THE BOUNDARY. A Kitchen-garden, walled round, and all the offices that are essen tial will be found in the Court -yard. The situation is really in comparably fine, the scenery is picturesque and lovely ; and those who would sojourn in quietude, and repose in comfort, away from the noise a.al turmoil of business, yet surrounded by ° vicinage prone to sociability, and of the best society in England, will find this little purchase an absolute " Godsend." The Railway has reduced the journey from London to 31 ,4 hours; to Southampton it is a drive of 40 minutes ; Lyndhurst is within two miles ; ar.d a visit to THE ISLE OF WIGHT is now an affeir of little more than one short hour. Such is a brief but imperfect outline of Bartley House, which is strongly re commended by Mr. Robins as a purchas of rare occurrence.

A MOST EXTENSIVE AND IMPORTANT SHEEP FARM, UNQUESTIONABLY THE FINEST ESTATE. IN THE MARKET, WITH A SHEEP FARM UNSURPASSABLE THROUGHOUT EUROPE, KiGWNTASLABBERT'S POORT, AND CONTAINING 43,504. ACRES a FIRE PASTURAGE. MR. GEORGE ROBINS begs to announce' to those who are inclined to improve their fortunes in another and very favoured country, :.nd in a climate TEIAT HAS NO CONTEMPORARY IN EUROPE, that he is instructed to OFFER to PUBLIC SALE, at the Auction Mart, London, on TIIUiSDAY, August 18, at Twelve, A VERY IMPORTANT PROPERTY, ADVANTAGEOUSLY SITUATE AT THE CAPE OF. GOOD HOPE, offering attractions aAd advantages of the utmost moment to the emigrant Farmer with capital, or the great Capitalist, who wit: know well how to appreciate the benefits which his capital, with labour and exertions, will command, in a country where the soil and climate are the most genial, and cer tain, at all periods of the year, to facilitate the laudable endea vour to secure that prosperity and independence to which his bold and praiseworthy efforts will so Justly entitle him ; next in tumor. Lance may be ranked the protection which is afforded by this country to Settlers, THE TITLE TO THE LAND BEING DIRECT FROM GOVERNMENT, AND UNQUESTIONABE; and lastly, the position of the estate, which is knows as SLABI3ERI"S POORT, one of the most valuable and extensive estates throughout the Cape of Good Hope. It is situated in the field Cornetcy of Tarka, in the county of Beaufort, being in south latitude 33.15 to 20, and cast longitude 23.13 to 15, near the Iraka River. It is A SHEEP FARM, and unquestionably may be ranked as decidedly one of the best in the Cape. The hill pastures are covered with sweet grass from the base to the summit. On the plains will be found plenty of grass and succulent herbage, on which sheep and cattle get f.st very rapidly. In this district the Estate comprehends 43,304 ACRE OF RICH PASTURAGE, which must always be the source of immense pecuniary gain. THERE IS ABUNDANT FEED FOR 6,000 SHEEP THE WHOLE YEAR, which, ender able management, it is needless to remark, will afford the most ample remuneration for the employment of capital; and the profit arising from the export and sale of Wool from this prospe rous colony has lately been most encouraging. There is a small house upon the estate, with a sheep krall near it; a garden planted with fruit trees and 3,000 vines ; also five permanent springs, giving a nover.failing supply of water. The late district land surveyor of Beaufort describes the Estates as follows :—" Slabbert's Poort is a good sheep farm, and com mands the best pasturage on the River Iraka ; and as the high road from the Eastern Provinces to Cape Town passes through the farm, it presents a very favourable position for A STORE, OR SHOP, UPON A GREATSCALE." Full particulars of the position and advantages of this extensive and unequalled Estate will he published, and may be had twenty. eight days prior to the Sale, of D. H. Williams, Esq., solicitor, Copthall-court, Throgmorton.street, City; at the Auction Mart; and at Mr. George Robins's offices, Covent.garden. IN THE SOUTH OF DEVONSHIRE. The COLL ATON KIRKHAM ESTATE, DIVIDED INTO LOTS. ALTOGETHER ELEVEN HUNDRED and SE VENTY ACRES, ALL FREEHOLD; also the MANORIAL RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES. The tenabtry are unexception able, and the quality of the soil not to be surpassed throughout Devon. There are 100 ACRES of WOODS and PLANTA- TIONS, with the entire village of COLLATON, Three Mtlezt Irom Torquay. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to offer .to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Seven Stars Hotel, Tomes, Devonshire, on SATURDAY, September 3, at One o'clock most punctually, and in Lots, EACH FARM TO FORM A SEPARATE LOT, A SINGULARLY ELIGIBLE FREEHOLD ESTATE, which, it may be stated, stands alone THROUGHOUT DEVON'S FAVOURED LAND AS AN INVESTMENT WHEREIN DOUBT AND UNCER. TA INTY ARE ENTIRELY REMOVED. And ibis fortunately without the alloy of a mansion and its conse. quent expense.. It comprehends altogether about ELEVEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY ACRES Of KEADOW, PASTURE,,ORCHARD, , _and WOOD LANDS, DIVIDED INTO CONVENIENT FARMS, which are most respectably occupied at rents capable of very consi.. derable iacrease ; indeed, on the determination of the leases, at LEAST 2,0001. A.YEAR, MAY BE CONTEMPLATED FOR THE WHOLE. The property will be divided as follows : Lot 1. The Manor of Collaton Kirkham, with a Farm of 447 Acres, a good farm-house, and all requisite buildings, called Blagdon Barton. The land includes some fine orcharding, and the soil is so rich that the best bullocks at Smithfield may be traced front. Paynton. The tenant is a first.rate Yeoman. Lot 2. Collaton Farm and Buildings, with 217 Acres of un. commonly fine land. Lot 3. Lower Yalberton Farm, and 304 Acres of rich land. Lot 4. Whitehill, a new and very compact farm-house and buildings, with 132 Acres of good land. Also, in six smaller Lots, the Royal Oak Inn, the Parker Arms, and the village of Collaton. Besides this THE COLLATON KIRKHAM ESTATE INCLUDES THE WHOLE VILLAGE OF COLLATON, Of the situation of this estate it would U: difficult to speak in adequate terms. Dartmouth and Totnes are close at hand, and Exeter within a drive of two hours, and THE METROPOLIS OF LONDON WITHIN EIGHT HOURS• RIDE. THE TENANTRY ARE ALL FIRST.RATE MEN. AND THERE IS NOT A SOLITARY ARREAR UPON THE ESTATE. The ➢farkets everywhere are very favourable to the Farmers. 'iHE UNRIVALLED DART winds its rapid and circuitous course through W9ODLAND SCENERY OF SURPASSING BEAUTY, and presents a constant accession of fresh delight. THE PACKET STATION, it is said, Is finally fixed at Dartmouth. There Is A MANOR AND MANORIAL RIGHTS which will not be disregarded. The grazing portion of the land is unsurpassable ; the cattle fed at Payntou are soon recognised at Smithfield. The produce from the meadow land EXCEEDS TWO TONS PER ACRE, while the corn lands produce from four to five quarters of wheat and barley. It has beside 10 Acres of new orchard and 16 of woods and plantations. Thus terminates a very imperfect representation of a most de sirable investment, WHICH IS DIVIDED INTO LOTS, AND EACH FARM SOLD SEPARATELY. Particulars, with descriptive plans, to be had at the New London Hotel, Exeter ; Royal Hotel, Plymouth ; Golden Lion, Ashburton ; the best' Hotels and Libraries at the cluster of watering places in Devon; at the Sev . en Stars, Totnes ; of Messrs. Every and Soil, Solicitors, Exeter ; of Messrs. Elliott and Son, Paynton ; at the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, London. IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE ON THE BORDERS OF WOR. CESTERSHIRE, . • • AN INVESTMENT OF “•• GREAT PROMISE TO ALL THOSE WHO DESIRE TO PURCHASE WITHOUT APPREHENSION.—THE GRAFTON ESTATE Is 506 ACRES OF FIRST-RATE LAND, WITHIN A RING FENCE, FREE FROM TITHES, AND AN UNEXCEP. TIONABLE TENANTRY. MR. tiEORGE ROBINS is desired by the Proprietor to offer to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY next, the 28th of July, at Twelve o'Clock, in One Lot, A FREEHOLD ESTATE of considerable value, and one that seems not to have a single alloy to counteract it. TIIE GRAFTON ESTATE has long since acquired considerable renoww, which may be traced in a great degree to the superiority of the soil; although it will presently be seen that it numbers many other ingredients to enlist a purchaser into THIS SOUND INVESTMENT FOR CAPITAL. The property is situate close to some of i he best markets in Eng land. It is only 6 miles from Tewkesbury and Evesham; 9 from Cheltenham; and only THREE MILES FROM THE RAILWAY STATION. It comprehends nearly THE WHOLE VILLAGE OF GRAFTON. which, unainore fanil , ar acquaintance, will strongly bring to re collection thr, beautiful 'delineation given to "OUR VILLAGE," BY MISS MITFORD. The tenantry are all congregated here, and a more complete picture of contentment and happiness is nowhere to be found. There are THREE MOST CAPITAL DAIRY FARMS, ENTIRELY EXEMPT FROM TITHES, AND VERY MODERATE OUTGOINGS. It has been observed they are dairy farms, inasmuch as some of the best Gloucester cheese is yearly traced to Grafton; but at purchaser may at this present writing see some of the most PRODUCTIVE CROPS OF CORN THROUGHOUT ENGLAND, a circumstance not very difficult of comprehension when it is called to mind that THE ESTATE IS IN THE GOLDEN VALE of Evesham. A turnpike-road passei through it to Tewkesbury and Cheltenham, and the roads around it in every direction are capital, with CHELTENHAI, THE FIRST WATERING-PLACE IN ENGLAND, Within an !sour's drive. THE BECKFORD INN AND norm. approximates upon the Property, and, from the comic rt that pre. sides within, is a feature in this interesting spot. THE ORCHARDING IS ABUNDANT, and gives premise of so much Cyder and Perry this season, that it may fairly be inferred it will Improve " THE WAYS AND MEANS" of the honest trio who compose the happy tenantry upon Grafton, and who (with ancestors of ancient date) have for many a long year reposed in profitable delight in our village. It would be quite impossible for a purchaser to select three more re spectable or more talented yeomen than Messrs. Izard, Crump, ansi Martin. The estate consists of FIVE HUNDRED AND SIX ACRES of first-rate Land, and no Tithe, including Plantations enough to diversify and improve the picture; the country around it present ing a landscape that is almost comparable to the Num.t beauties of Devonshire. The tenantry have never had leases, and from their high respectability and good management, have been so fortunate as to continue, a very long period, at an inadequate rent of 8001. a_year. The time has arrived when, without doing them wrong, the rental may be increased to ONE THOUSAND POUNDS CLEAR PER ANNUM. And amongst the agremens connected with Grafton, it being with. out the annoyance of an overgr,w n house upon it, is one of some import. To conclude, It may ta well to observe, that the rents arc paid most punctually ; and Lavater has marked conspicuously on their countenances that the word abatement never entered into their imagination, The Estate can be seen, by the kind peanissiou of these intel ligent occupants. Particulars, and a pan, may be had at the Beckford Hotel, close at hand; also at the leading Inns at Towkt s. bury and Evesham ; and the Royal Hotel, Cheltenham ; of Mr. Hobbs, Auct ioneer, Worcester; Messrs.
