PETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the I4th day of July, at Twelve o'Clock, and in One Lot, A singularly IMPORTANT FREEHOLD ESTATE, pre. venting decidedly one of THE MOST ELIGIBLE FREEHOLD NVESTMENTS FOR CAPITAL IN THE aud, as it should seem, without a •i toy to countbract its prospective advantages. The situation is to beautiful ;itis in a favoured part of THE COUNTY OF DENBIGH, within four miles of the market.town of Ruthin, with a TURNPIKE-ROAD PASSING THROUGH THE PROPERTY TO TWO MARKETS. THE NANTCLWYD MANSION s of the olden times, and certainly not the prominent feature. A good opportunity is, however, presented to display a little taste in contradistinction to former times, and the situation Is so lovely as not to be resisted. The Gardens very luxuriant. The Farms are not large--but unusually compact. The Land is or the best quality throughout, in excellent condition, and all con. vertible ; for wheat or turnips it is equally congenial, and the meadow and pasture is of the best quality. From this it may be inferred the tenants pay their moderate rents with alacrity; indeed the word arrear is quite out of fashion at Nantclwyd. All the farms are occupied ; the extent is NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY-TWO ACRES, and the present low Rental is TWO THOUSAND AND TWENTY-SIX POUNDS A-YEAR. The Estate is in the most picturesque part of the county, on THE GREAT ROAD TO HOLYHEAD, with the Mail passing through the grounds. The Plantations in this property are Judiciously placed, so as to be exceedingly orna mental. They are very extensive, in a thriving state, and hold out very encouraging prospective views to increase the present income. The land possesses the purest limestone, and in inexhaustible quantities ; it is also well watered, and is within easy reach of coa's. Its near approximation to the three GREAT COMMERCIAL AND MANUFACTURING DIS TRICTS OF LIVERPOOL, MANCHESTER, AND CHESTER, will always give a preponderating influence to a capitalist who prefers to invest, where in any emergency, from these local ad vantages, the rental is secure; indeed as a dry investment for capital, it will be very difficult to point out a parallel case. Particulars are in progress, and may be had twenty-one days be fore the Sale, at the Waterloo Hotel, Liverpool; the Journals of Manchester; the Inns at Chester, at Holyhead, and at Ruthin ; of Messrs. Roy, Blunt, Johnstone, and Walton, solicitors, Lothbury ; the Auction Mart, and at Mr. George Robins's offices, London. BRENTWOOD HALL ESTATE. A very FINE PROPERTY for DIVISION—the EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY passing by the LODGE EN- TRANCE—there is a DELIGHTFUL RESIDENCE and PARKISH GROUNDS extending to nearly ,200 acres. MR. GEORGE ROBLN - S has the pleasure to announce that he is directed to SELL by PUBLIC AUCTION, at the Whita Hart, at BRENTWOOD, on FRIDAY, he 15th of July, at Twelve for One Precisely, in Lots, An exceedingly eligible Property, with a view to create a large and increasing Income—indeed the advantages are so many, and yet so prominent, that a few only must suffice in the circumscribed space of this announcement. First is in the centre of BRENTWOOD HALL PARKISH GROUNDS removed only a small distance from the high Chelmsford.road, and less than a half a mile from THE RESPECTABLE TOWN OF BRENTWOOD, which it is known is now within forty minutes' drive of the Metro polis; the abode has been placed with great judgment on a com manding spot; it appears almost embedded in THE LUXURIANT AND EXTENSIVE PLANTATIONS. that are so lovely as to be one of the features of this vicinity, and in the Lodge Entree, is discovered a taste that may be useful as a STUDY to some of our modern architects ; the residence, which presents a pleasing object to the passing traveller, has numbered some forty years, and therefore does not altogether aspire to be accounted of the modern school, nor is it proposed sufficiently com. modious for a yet y large family—it claims only to be congenial to the wants and wishes of a retiring merchant, or a family of quiet man ners, who may repose here in a situation of great beauty with multiplied advantages, and every comfort they can desire; the offices are all suitable, and there is a warm sheltered farm yard close at hand : and with this lot about SEVENTY ACRES OF PARK GROUND will be allotted. But the more important feature connected with this purchase is yet to be told. The Eastern Counties Railway passes through the Estate, and the turnpike road forms its boundary. These important points have given an impetus-1 sort of enterprising spirit that Brentwood pi days of yore never dreamt of. The land to be divided into lots abuts on the high road, and is in CLOSE communication with THE BRENTWOOD STATION, from which it extends fur more than half a mile, and affords an opportunity not to be resisted to divide this land in suitable lots so as to form A LITTLE OPPOSITION TOWN TO ITS ANCIENT CONTEMPORARY, and to which it will, in a few years, extend ; a portion will be divided for Villas, giving to each a little land. The situation of the property will render this a matter of certainty rather than speculation ; the country around is so beautiful, that it puts on the character of a redeeming virtue to save Essex from its unfavourable report for non-enjoyment of the picturesque or beautiful ; for miles around this spot the scene may almost challenge Devonshire for a comparison. There is, with many others, a view of Weald Church, that appears quite interminable; it is never absent, and materially aids the landscape, which extends over the beauteous valley to St. Paul's. Throughout the Estate the lands arc of a picturesque and undulating character ; in fact, it will be difficult to find an invest. ment where a favourable result for a building operation is more manifest ; and it will not for a moment be doubted that the lands, judiciously divided, within half a mile of Brentwood and forty minutes' ride of the Bank, will turn out a most beneficial specula. tion. Thirty-five acres contain Gravel of a superior description, which is in constant request, since there is none of a quality to contend with it, and the land generally abounds in brick earth. The town of Brentwood contains a very richly.endowed Free Grammar School, the possessor of this estate and of the different lots, may partake of this great advantage in an eminent degree. The plan, with a sketch of the Villa and Park, ar• ready, and may be had of Messrs. Few, Hamilton, and Few, Solicitors, 2, Ilenrietta-street, Covent-garden ; on the premises at Brentwood Hall ; at the Inns at Ronsford, Brentwood, Chelmsford ; at the Auction Mart ; and Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent. garden, London. IN WARWICKSHIRE. THE WEDDINGTON CASTLE ESTA PE and DEMESNE, near to Coventry, recently occupied by the Earl of Hillsborough, MR. GEORGE- ROBINS is directed by the Representatives of Mr. Place, deceased, to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, or. TnuesnAy, July 14, at Twelve o'clock, the well.known FREE. HOLD ESTATE, called WEDDINGTOX CASTLE, a mile beyond Nuneaton market town, and only eight miles from THE COVENTRY STATION OF THE BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY, FOUR HOURS AND A HALF'S RIDE FROM LONDON, IN THE CENTRE OF THE ATHERS. TON HUNT, and only three miles from the kennel ; it has been recently occu. pied by THE EARL OF HILLSBOROUGH. The property has long acquired a considerable fame in its ewn vicinity. It is one of the most compact and eligible properties withih the county. THE CASTLE HAS BEEN COMPLETED BY MR LUGAR an artist possessing a perfect knowledge of GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE. It is adorned by castellated towers, full of accommodation, and quite competent to everything a respectable family can desire. The lodge en' ranee is vis-a-vis the park entree, and they both display great taste. The castle is Tine enibosomed by the full-grown plan tations and park walks extending to the river, which, for more than a mi:e, is a boundary to the estate; and THE EXCLUSIVE lISHING IN THIS RIVER to a great extent is among the many agremens appertaining to this desirable investment. Thers:are TWO CAPIDAL DAIRY FARMS connected with it, close by, ~i thin a ring fence, and around the castle are eighty acres of land ao rich that the best bullocks are con, stantly made fat upon it, 70N CHAMPION HILL. One of the PILLARS of that ADMIRED VICINITY to the GREAT METROPOLIS, with EXTENSIVE LAWN PLEASURE GROUND, and PADDOCKS, extending to near FIFTEEN ACRES, all in a RING FENCE, and in most per. feet order. R. GEORGE ROBINS has tte pleasure to _LTA_ announce that he is directed to;offer to PUBLIC AUC TION, at the Mart, London, on Tnurtsoar, 21st July, at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot, an - ESTATE OF CO%IDERABLE IMPORTANCE, nd one that may be assimilated to a FREEHOLD TENURE, inasmuch as it is entirely EXEMPT FROM ANY GROUND RENT, sage only for theaccommodation meadows. It consists of ONE OF THE ADMIRED SUBURBAN VILLAS ON CHAMPION HILL PRIVATE ROAD, a remove of three short miles from the Royal Exchange, sur rounded by a little host of Bankers and rich ➢Merchants, who have in clusters selected this spot as the most delightful, and, at the same time, convenient in respect to their daily labours. It is no longer a matter of doubt that it stands conspicuous for its superio. rity to any other easy remove from London. Society can be se. cured to any extent, or avoided without difficulty. It may be ob. served the outw:rd form of THIS ELEGANT ITALIAN VILLA does not give promise of the consequence that a closer inve,flga. tion will render manifest. It is almost too modest and unpre. tending /Or the delight and comfort that prevails withiu. It is quite equal in every respect to accommodate most perfectly the family of a merchant of high standing—indeed, In going over it. the composer of this sketch tried how, by ingenuity, it could be rendered more conducive to comfort, but he assayed in vain ; anti the offices, from beginning to end, are in thorough keeping with the whole. This delightful abode does Not belong to the class of modern buildings, for beside everything the most fastichousmindean suggest, there is a solidity that has recently been too much •ut of fashion. The ♦iew from the extended lawn is quite a picture. The gal leries and balcony are not of common place ; they are. indeed, alike, useful and ornamental, partaking of views that are nut merely of considerable extent, but include a landscape, that is one of incomparable beauty. One of the great delights that Champion Hill especially claims as its own, is that although within half an hour's drive of the seat of daily profit, there is a quietude--a sort of repose, throughout the grounds, !hat seems to estrange London from this locality. The grounds are of consi. derable extent and loveliness, in which everything that can heighten their natural claims has been achieved. American plants are in every corner, the cedars of Lebanon feathering to the ground, and the Portutol laurels, (some of thorn eighty feet around), the arbor vitae, and a little army of Rhododendums, seem all to aspire to aid in this scene of delight and with A BEAUTIFUL CONSERVATORY, PINERY, AND Gll A PER Y, seem to leave nothing for the most fastidious to - desire. There are two Kitchen Gardens; and at the extremity of the first Pad dock is a second Lawn of great beauty, with an almost superabund ance of shrubs and dowers, with ornamental Summer Houses ; then the strawberry and vegetable gardens, with fruit trees well selected; at the termination of the whole is the Gardner's abode. surrounded by all sorts of useful offices ; in short, every appendage to a little Farm ; and there are SIX RICH PADDOCKS, OF A PARKLIKE CHARACTER. to complete all that human invention could have desired. In front of the Villa is an Orchard and Kitchen Garden, which numbers amongst other advantages the certainty that NO BUILDING OPERATION CAN INTERPOSE its unwelcome appearance here. In the Courtyard is a double Coach-house, 5 S!alls, 2 loose boxes and men servants'-room ; in short, there is everything that a reasonable mind can think of or enjoy. The term is near fifty years, and no ground-rent. The Paddocks are subject only to six guineas an acre. Particulars may be had 28 days prior to the sale on the pre mises, but the Villa cannot be seen without a card ; also at the Auction Start, and at Covent-garden ; HATTON HALL, IN NORTHAIIPTONSH;RE. The ADMIRED PROPERTY and ESTATE of the late Rev. C. P. VIVIAN, at WELLINGBOROUGH. The SPLENDID MANSION in the Elizabethan Style. Beautiful and Exten sive PLEASURE GROUNDS; LAWN and PARK, with Rich MEADOWS, extending to 205 Acres. 31 - R. GEORGE ROBINS h as th e pleasure to _IL announce, that he has been selected by the Executors to offer to Publia Competition, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 14th July, at 12 o'clock, THE SINGULARLY DESIRABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE AND PROPERTY OF THE REV. CHARLES PASLEY VIVIA >l, DECEASED, DENOMINATED HATTON HALL, Situate on the verge of -THE TOWN OF \VELLINGBOROUGI[, and the great feature of the place; since nothing, within a limited distance, can aspire to the same consequence or pretensions; it is seated on the skirts if the town, so as to partake of all its conveni ences, without the slightest alloy arising out of its close connec tion with it. A drawing will accompany the descriptive particulars, which moderately pour; rays what is in store for a man of fortune and good taste. In its outward form is shown A FINE PILE OF BUILDING, erected at a time when substantiality was deemed at least an men. tial feature. It is of THE PURE ELIZABETHAN ORDER, IN THE TUDOR S PYLE OF DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE, and it was only a few short years since that it was renovated through out, and restored to something extending beyond its pristine vigour, and all that art could do to increase the charms of a spot so rich in nature's loveliness is here achieved. It is seated on AN EXTENDED VELVET LAWN, which is in communication with the PRETTILY WOODED PARR. The Pleasure Grounds are adorned by a delightful array of rare and beautiful, which, beside, estrange winter and its disagreeables from being perceptible at Hatton Hall. Around this Landscape, are Plantations and Shrubberies of very considerable extent, and within the intermediate space, the beauteous Lawn enamelled with dower ing Shrubs, in never-ending variety, appear in masses everywhere, contending for the superiority, If distant hills be wanting, yet our eye Forgets the want, and with delighted gaze Rests on the lovely foreground; --- where blending hues, Gives that harmonious force of shade and light, Which makes the landscape perfect." A SPLENDID CONSERVATORY OF OCTAGON FORM, and heated by flues, very much increases the interest and loveli. ness of the ensemble, and the walls, which inclose the lawn, are of accommodation demonstration. for But a castellated form, thickly c overed wit h ivy, which wantons in native and unpruned luxurianc e ; inde ed the composer of this Ull. pretending representation of one o f th e most comfortable abodes in s FINCTI ON.

THE EXTENSIVE GARDENS render Hatton Hall quite independent of any auxiliary aid. A RANGE OF HOT AND SUCCESSION HOUSES furnish a uever.ceasing supply of everything that is recherche and rare, and the Kitchen Gardens are most prolific. THE COURT -YARD DEPARTMENT is so well appointed that nothing is left to be desired ; and as the COUNTY ABOUNDS WITH FIELD SPORTS, AND THREE PACKS OF HOUNDS ARE AT HAND, it will be a little satisfactory to know that the Stabling is most perfect. Leaving for a moment this hasty Panegyric, it may be well to add there is a demesne extending to TWO HUNDRED AND SIX ACRES I of remarkably rich Park, meadow, pasture, and grazing Land, entirely within a ring fence. ' Die Grounds display a considerable inequality, with hill and dale to vary the scene. There are EXCELLENT PEWS IN THE CHURCH; and, it should have been noticed before, that there are HOT AND COLD BATHS. o In the vicinity of the ItesidencreELair,eiNtv:avoerßyosunuogii, little abodes, and several Cottages in E which it is T k li nOw i n 'O is l o \ n 'N eo O fcF w o nsiderable rank in Northamptonshire, and is distant from London only 65 miles, and from Illisworth station a very few, and it is within FIVE HOURS RIDE OF THE INIE'FROPOLIS. and will b e ready, with plans Full particulars are in progress, and two beautiful drawings (at 6d. each), twenty-eight days prior to the Sale, at the office of Mr. Bur n h am, solicitor, 'Welling. borough ; and at the Hi n d Hotel ; or Mr. Whit e, so li c i tor, 12 , tlrcat Marlberough.street ; a lso at the C oc k , Stony Stratford; the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. George Robi ns ' s o ffi ces.

The DELIGHTFUL ABODE and VALUABLE FREEHOLD ESTATES of C. J. HECTOR, Esq., deceased, the late M.P. fur PETERSFIELD, with the SEAT in PROSPECTIVE at the NEXT ELECTION, and a DOMAIN, with WOODS and PLANTATIONS EXTENDING to THREE HUNDRED and THIRTY ACRES, WITHIN a RING-FENCE; THREE HOURS and a HALF'S RIDE FROM LONDON. ATR. GEORGE ROBINS has the honour to announce, that he is directed by the Executors and Trustees for Sale to OFFER to unreserved COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 14th of July. at Twelve, an exceedingly desirable FREEHOLD ESTATE; it comprises, first, STODHAM HOUSE, ADORNED-BY A CONSERVACORY, A MOST DELIGHTFUL VILLA RESIDENCE; it is a very imposing elevation of recent creation, based upon THE CORINTHIAN ORDER OF ARCHITECTURE, and erected with the intention to afford every possible comfort a family can reasonably desire, not omitting hot and cold baths ; a real country gentleman (and the observation is used in the literal sense) will locate here without a single fault being discoverable It was built by the late C. J. HECTOR, Esq., for a retreat after the turmoil of his daily mercantile pursuits at Peterslield, from which it is only distant two miles, eighteen from Portsmouth,and three and a half hours only from the metropolis. It is seated on ALL FREEHOLD. NEAR TO READING. GRAZELEV LODGE ESTATE, with PARK GROUNDS, extending to 60 ACRES, within a ring-fence, and considerable Common Right, extending over all the Parish. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed by the Proprietor to offer to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the Ist of July, at Twelve o'Clock, in one Lot, A SINGULARLY DESIRABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE, equally eligible as an Investment for Capital, or for an Abode. It consists of the GRAZELEY LODGE ESTATE, most delightfully situate within thtee miles of Reading, on the road to Newbury and Basingstoke, and secluded from it by a row of Ornamental Laurels, a Hawthorn hedge, and neat Chain Railing. It is accounted one of the prettiest things in Reading's ♦icinity, which, it is known, is famed for the wealth and respect ability of thoie who live around it. THIS ELEGANT AND VERY CHASTE VILLA within A TWO HOURS' RIDE FROM LONDON, is placed on a Lawn of extraordinary beauty, and considerable ex tent, and the front, which overlooks the road, is adorned by A STONE GALLERY AND BALCONY, so beautifully constructed as to be the great feature ors the road. The columns are of iron, and the order is Corinthian. It is ap. proached by a noble flight of steps. The Lawn is resplendent in every thing that is recherche in the Botanical world, with full grown timber In Limes, and Chesnuts studded about in pleasing negli. Bence, with Plants and Flowering Shrubs without any apparent termination. But it will be well first to return to the habitation. IT IS QUITE AN ITALIAN VILLA, and in the best taste imaginable, with the additional advantage that substantiality in the erection is conspicuous every where. The walls seem to claim relationship with perpetuity, and as it re gards convenience and intetnal comfort, it cannot be exceeded. All the Rooms are lofty, and consequently very airy, of excellent preportions, and the Bed-room Department not to be exceeded. . . THE GRAND SUITE OF ROOMS are adapted to a first-rate family; or, by the way, at this interesting moment of doubt, while the Elective Franchise of Reading is in abeyance, if a gentleman of fortune and characterbe tempted into this enviable purchase, there is no good reason why he may not count upon adding M.P. to his present honours. The cellars are famous, and it only needs to let hospitality be placed conspicuously at Grazely to accomplish this great event. Sociality and respec tability preside in this vicinity. But to return to this little his tory. The residence, it has been observed, is quite perfect ; the subordinate offices are in excellent keeping, and a kitchen fit for the chef of the representative of Reading. In the court-yard are two stables with eight stalls, two coach-houses for six carriages, depository over for hay and straw, and coachman's room. THE FARM YARD, on a petite scale, is everything that can be wished for; all the buildings are famous; and close by are two additional slips of garden fur potatoes and vegetables. 111 the way it hat been omitted to state there is A CAPITAL KITCHEN GARDEN, plentifully stocked, enclosed by lofty walls, and a prolific orchard h re by, that gives promise of 100 bushels of apples and pears this season. THE LODGE ENTREE is of pretty design, and the drive to this little abode of comfort is through the luxuriant grounds. SHENFIELD CHURCH (a pretty object) is only a Mile and a half off, with three pews for the family. AND THE RIGHTS ARE UNRESTRICTED OVER THE COMMONS IN SHENFIELD PARISH. Connected with this valuable Purchase, there is yet in store another feature, A DOMAIN OF SIXTY ACRES OF RICH PARK-LIKE LAND, \VITH SOME FAMOUS ARABLE; the latter growing at this moment 6 quarters of Wheat per acre, and the soil is congenial for all the purposes of Agriculture. In fine, it would be difficult considering its limited extent) to find a more enviable purchase throughout the favoured county of Berks. Particulars ready `-lS days before the Auction, at the Bear Hotel, Reading ; the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. Robins' Offices, London. A LAWN OF CONSIDERABLE ATTRACTION, in which there is a taste in its disposition, and in the pleasure grounds, that especially belonging to Stodham ; there is a character about them at variance with modern tactics, and leave the supe riority unquestionable. Itepton, would, indeed, be proud to acknow ledge them as his off3pring; there is such decided originality, and so much of correct judgment mixed up with great taste, that it will not dread a rival entering the controversial list. They are of consi derable extent and loveliness; around them are very prolific shrubberies and plantations, thickly clothed in all that art and na ture can bring to its aid ; hot and succession houses, and a melon ground. Progressing in this delightful walk, THE BEAUTIFUL AMERICAN GARDEN appears in all its glory, clothed with a little army of rhododendrons (now in full bloom), with an infinity of everything recherche in the botanical world—it is, in fact, in miniature. THE HORTICULTURAL GARDEN OF HANTS. The grounds extend half-a-mile in circumferenee, adorned by beds of flowers throughout. A LOVELY STREAMLET progresses through the centre, and amid the forest of trees is heard the meandering over the rugged surfaCe, with a cascade to increase the effect, until all is lost in silent stillness. Zimmerman in this spot would have dwelt in never.onding delight. Prolific woods are everywhere seen in great luxuriance, forming a belt, and vis.a.vis is THE AMPHITHEATRE OF HILLS, which adorn the opposite side, designated THE FAMED ASHFORD WOODS, whose beauty and renown have extended far and wide. They have been contending for the rivalry. The kitchen garden, encompassed by a wall 14 feet high, is prolific in everything essential to a fa.. mily. It has been remarked, that within the domicile is associated everything that can conduce to comfort, and the offices within and without, including six-stall stable and double coach house, are alto gether in strict accordanae, and necessarily very perfect. THE ESTATE EXTENDS ALTOGETHER TO THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY ACRES of very excellent land, the whole of which is convertible, including some capital meadows and arable land, with five quarters of wheat and six quarters of barley now demonstrating the quality of the soil. THE FLEXCOMB FARM ADJOINING is 134 acres, a snug dairy farm, the land adapted to fatten bullocks (this will form a separate lot); thire are two farmhouses well placed, and suitable buildings ; the whole may be estimated mode. rately at SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY POUNDS A YEAR. To conclude, it may not be amiss to notice thattha sessor of this property, if he adopt the motto of hospitality and good fellowship, may count upon 713 E CERTAIN REPRESENTATION OF PETERSFIELD, r its influential powers are no longer a matter of doubt ; they have already been tried and not found wanting. A great deal more may be urged to enlist attention. THERE IS MULTUM IN PARVO conspicuously displayed—luxuriant woods and pellucid streams, hill and dale in never-tiring variety, with fishing, shooting, and hunting, without end; indeed it would puzzle a man of ingenuity to discern anything important or conducive to health and comfort that does not appear intelligibly at the seat of the late worthy pos. sessor. The property is all freehold, the title unexceptionable, and po.session may be had immediately. Particulars, with two drawings of the villa. and a plan of the es tate (at 6d), may be had twenty-one days prior to the sale, by ap. plication to Messrs. Dunn and Hopkins, solicitors, Alresford and Winchester; the Dolphin, Southampton ; the Bush, Farnham ; Park Nelson, Esq., solicitor, Essex-street ; the Auction Mart; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent-garden.

THE EARL OF LICHFIELD, within five miles of Stafford, and 12 miles from Lichfield. A very Inadequate description of the costly effects which will be found congregated can only he conveyed through the usual mole of a public announcement. Mr. Robins will endeavour to state, as succinctly as possible, the leading features, with the full con viction that there will be found, in every department, the utmost attraction to interest and induce the connoiseur of the fine arts, the bibtiomanist, the bon vivant, the florist, and horticulturist, and those who seek to furnish their abodes with all that is of the best an: purest taste, to journey to this most extensive and splendid auction. THE EXPENSIVE FURNITURE OF THE MANSION cannot be denominated of the present fashion or period; it is, how. ever, in the best taste, and excellent of its time, and comprises the appropriate fittings of the noble drawing-rooms, saloon, dining-room, library, morning room, and boudoir, with many BRILLIANT CHIMNEY AMD PIER GLASSES, of unusually large dimensions ; ORNAMENTAL PORCELAIN AND ALABASTER of extreme beauty and rarity. The magnificent Equipments of THE STATE BEDCHAMBER AND DRESSING ROOMS, in rich crimson silk damask, enriched with gold laze, is, however, of the latest fashion, and most gorgeous in effect; these chambers have only recently been fitted up; likewise the excellent Furniture of TWENTY-FIVE BEST BEDCHAMBERS; the whole of which are most completely and admirably appointed; also of an immense number of bedchambers for domestics, and of the extensive range of offices. VALUABLE ORIENTAL SEVRES AND DRESDEN dinner, dessert, and tea services, in endless variety, with an immense quantity of useful china, rich cut glass for the table and sideboard and a wardrobe of table and bed linen.

The rarest treasures of the Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Flemish, and English Schools, in their pure state, will here be found ; and where there is so much of excellence it is difficult to select for particular mention ; still the following well.known and un doubted pictures by Guido, of the " Angel appearing unto Peter," and " Susannah and the Elders," must have especial notice ; two landscapes by G. Poussin ; a splendid landscape by Both ; a landscape by Claude; a 'landscape by Domenichino; a landscape, with cattle, by Cuyp ; a small landscape, with cattle and sheep, by K. Du Jardin ; a landscape by Bergliem ; and another by Gainsborough, with six matchless sea pieces, by Vandervelde— one being of large size and singularly fine, and its companion by Backhuysen—all these are incomparable as works of art.

From the appearance of the First Volume of the First Edition in 1819, the Author has been assailed in every imaginable form. . . . Hence it was necessary to go through every charge, to examine the authorities on which it was founded; where an error had been committed to admit it; where not, to defend the original post tion. We know not a single point of importance on which the assailants succeeded, while those on which they are tri umphantly discomfited are almost innumerable. " We had, at first, some intention of giving a brief sum mary of all his (the Author's) leading characteristics ; but as, on re-consideration, we believe that no summary could be suffi ciently comprehensive and minute to do justice to his merits, we shall express our feelings much better by declaring that the work is the best history of any country that it has ever been our fortune to peruse."—Dublin Review, No. 24.

The watermen plying at Westminster-bridge on Monday con tended for a purse of sovereigns, given by theladies and gentle men inhabitants of St. Margaret's and St. John's Westmin ster. The wager was amongst ten free watermen (five double pairs of sculls, in two heats), the whole of the party starting away for the trial heat, and the four first in being entitled to run for the second or grand heat. At half-past four the following took their stations for the first heat :—James Howell and John Ellis, green ; Edward Howell and J. Jones, jun., yellow ; William Campbell and George Campbell, pink ; William Spratt and J. Jones, sen., white ; and William Windsor and Joseph Kennett, blue. The distance allotted in this heat was from Westminster-bridge tip round a boat moored off Sawyer's, Millbank, return down the Middlesex shore round a boat moored off Hungerford, and back to Westminster-bridle, The heat was rowed without much change. Pita; (the brother of the champion of the Thames) took the load, and kept it ; and after a sharp race be tween yellow and blue the former came in second, the latter third, White being fourth, and green fifth. At half-past six, the combatants having refreshed, yellow, pink, white, and blue started for the grand heat—to row from Westminster-bridge down round the pollee-brig, off Strand lane, up to Vauxhall-bridge, and back to Westminster. Yel low took the lead for a few yards, when pink came up, and, after a sharp conflict, passed them ; blue and white got scull and scull, but the leading boats drew gradually away. Pink retained the lead throughout, and won by four or five - lengths yellow was second. , ARMY ANDINAVY.-1.1103 July Nallkb;'T 1)f COMitrit 'B United Service Magazine and Naval and Uilitary Jour n fit, contains, among other inteveating par - erg—Naval Improve ments in the 18th cgtxtury—British . arms as they were and as they are, compared with the ottlnions of Foreigners—Military Law,Admirals Mathews and Lestock—Scenes in America, from a Tyro's Note 800k --.A Day in Calabria: a Military Reminiscence, by an Olt Soldier—Encounter with Bush Ran gere,inlVan Dieman'; tand,!by a sketch of an Officer—ln Portafter Action, (VA 'le es .

A Minister who clearly shows that he sets no more value-on the principles and inte rests of his own party than of his opponents,may flatter himself with winning the loose fish of those opponents —but must lose his party. Now, where can a Minister hope for a permanent majority t—in his own party, or in the party opposite to his own ?—or in some party yet in embryo, which is to be neither the one nor the other? At every critical epoch, when the question has bees( between progress and no progress in the particular direction in which progress has been especially called for, Sir Robert Peel's tactic has been to declare. in the first -instance, for no progress, at the same time that he has always taken very good care never to pledge himself, under other circumstances, with sufficient securities, or on points of detail, to resist the particular measure in question, if it should hereafter suit him to promote it. Any one who will turn back to Mr. Peel's earlier statements of his views (about the year 1812, for instance) on the Catholic question, will find that he took care to disclaim pledging himself against the future concession of Emancipation. There was something less than his usual caution, in 1827, in making that question his pretext for secession from Canning's side. On the whole, however, both as regarded that question —the repeal of the Test Act, the reform of the Criminal Laws,.and Reform in Parliament—we find him playing the same game. Always taking advantage of the MIT , prise and struggles of alarmed prejudice, or threatened interests, and, so soon as their efforts have placed him in power—ready to renounce those prejudices, and sm'. render those interests, as a sacrifice to epinion. Sir Robert Peel has played the same game with re gard to the tariff, compromise and bribery, & e . li e had taken advantage of the panic at th e Whi g b udget, and the election practices of his friends,. to seat himself in power, with a commanding majority at his back, 1 This accomplished, he sees no farther occasion for the ladders he climbed by. Down they go, therefore, to accommodate public opinion with materials for a bon fire. There are many good people who see no particular harm in this species of statesmanship, and who are as . well content to take progressive measures from Peel as as from his predecessors. We shall not attempt to argue with this sort of political optimists by insisting on the dishonesty of these tactics for gaining and keeping power. It may be thought that " the pleasure is as great Of being cheated, as to cheat ;" And if the Tory party, after all their reasons for dis trusting Peel, chose to be cheated by him, that. the public have nothing but cause for congratulation in the general result. It seldom, however. happens that s ea l ) , a genius as Sir Robert cheats only one party. Those who chuckle most at the Tory disappointment are, in 0 some degree, duped themselves. STANDARD.—In the House of Lords, last night, Lord Denman introduced a Bill e na bli ng a ll persona 1 who might object to taking oaths in Courts of Justice to substitute an affirmation. The Bill was opposed by the Bishop of London, the Earl of Wicklow, the Earl of Galloway, and Lord Abinger, who testified from his own experience that Quakers are the most unmanageable and unsatisfactory witnesses. Lord Campbell supported the Bill, and Lord Broughs.m defended the Quakers, who he said were persons, re markable for their respect for truth. The Bill was, by leave, withdrawn. The effect of Lord Demuan's measure would be to put an end to oaths in Courts of Justice. Every conscientious man will decline an unne cessary oath, and others are sure rot to be slow in imitating their example ; but an oath would become strictly unnecessary if a witness was at liberty to substitute an affirmation. At present all who are not misled by an erroneous reading of the Scriptures feel that society is entitled to their evidence under the hi g h e st sanc ti on , which is an appeal to the Almighty ; and respecting society as an institution of that Divine Behrg, they have, no scruple in submitting to its command. But let the State say that it will be content with less than the highest sanction, and it will be a plain profanation to resort to oaths. As to Lord Brougham's defence of the Quakers, we admit its validity so far as wards are concerned, but we deny that in the truth of things Quakers are more remarkable for veracity than other persons. We do not say that they regard truth less. Between. cautiousness in the use of words, however, and the spirit: of truth there is a wide differeuce ; and, putting Quakers out of question, we do not find generally that the Inca most guarded in their language are by any means the most ingenuous ; indeed, excessive rigour on the point. is for the most part a sign of a disingenuous person, and. it generally characterises that class of " fencers". whom judges find it least pleasant to deal with, and jurors most difficult to believe. GREENWICH HOSPITAL. PAINTED lIALL AND CHAPEL. We have the satisfaction to inform our readm. b that Sir Robert Stopford, the Governor, has attended to the recommendation of the Select Committee On National Monuments, of 1841, of which Mr. Hume was Chairman, to admit the public . free on two days. in the week. The following is an . extract flsom the Report of the Committee : "The attention of your Committee has been di rected to the Painted flail and Chapel at Greenwich Hospital, which are exhibited on week-day, from seven in the morning to sunset, and on Sunday after noon after one o'clock, to the public, on the payment .11* 3(1. by each person for admission to each place. ",,1 1 , 3 Painted. Hall, decorated by Sir J. Thornhill, cor, fa i ns a collection of paintings consisting of representations of naval actions, and portraits of Admirals and flaw., men, some sculpture, and other objects inte resting- to the public, and chiefly to persons in the naval service. Soldiers have been admitted to see the Hall free of charge for many years ; and, sin the Committee began their inquiry, the Lieuteran t . Governor, by order dated 7th May, 1841, has ilirected that seamen shall also in futu re be ad:nitted free of ehargea measure which your Cetnmittee highly ap prove of. The behaviour of the visitors is praised by the attendants. The annual number of visitors to the Painted Hall is on an average about 100,000, and produces 1,300/. a-year. The money received for admission of visitors is applied to the general funds of the, Hos- pital. Considering that all the pictures contained in the Painted Hall are the free gift of individuals,, foreign as well as British, and that they contri bute to illustrate the naval history of the country, and to perpetuate the memory of those dis'tinguishe'd officers who have been thought worthy of a place in this collection, your Committee strongly recommend that, for the gyatification and instruciiion of the peopl e , the Painted Hall should he Opened to the public for some hours every day, feee of charge, in the same manner as the Nation:ti Gallery and Hampton Court Palace, under suds regulations as may be requisite. "As it appars from the evidence, that the admi%- sion of the public to the apartments, galleries. tnd gardens at Hampt on C our t, an d a l so to the tgalnted Hall at Greenwich, on Sunday afternoon, is not attended with any inconvenience or impropriety, the evidence of several witnesses tends to show that much advantage would be derived from similar op portunities being afforded, under proper regulations, at the British Museum and the National Gallery, with beneficiP.l. results." Sir B'obert Stopford has given orders that the Painted Hall and Chapel shall be open, free of charge, on Mondays and Fridays, from ten to seven o'clock in summer, and from ten to three in winter; and we trust the public will show by their conduct a. just value of the boon thus given them, which will place Greenwich Hospital on the same liberal footing as the National Gallery and Hampton Court are now placed. We view the conduct of Sir Robert Stopfbrd as highly honourable to him as a gentleman and a sailor, and we trust his example will be followed by those who have charge of public buildings and collections of the works of art that would be invaluable to th e mass of the people, as a means of education r.nd ac quiring a knowledge of the fine arts, which tend to soften the ruder manners of the ignorant. The Select Committee also recommended cheap catalogues of the pictures, &c. in the public collec tions, and we. have had sent us copies of a -Catalogue of the Nati ona l G a ll ery, containining, a list of all 'the Pictures in that collection at H. and 3d. each, 14hich are sold at the door of the Gallery, and at" 66, Old Bailey, where they are printed, instead of 6d. and Is. at which the official Catalogues were sold. The en terpr',sing individual who prints these we trust will meet with encouragement from the public, and we+ hope to see him prepare Catalogues of the Paintings in Greenwich Hall at the same prices. A LEAP FOR LIFE.—One day during the last week a party of gentlemen went on a nesting excursion to the Heughs, near Slains Castle, and approaching " Dunbuy," aw insulated precipitous rock, well known as a favourite resort for sea fowl, one of the boldest of the party, enamoured of its rich treasures, ventured to ascend its rugged and almost perpendi cular crags, amidst the vetoing cries of its reclaiming occu pants, which hovered about the enem y ," seemingly disposed.to enter their dissent s , i n th e s h ape of sundry Itouneesna, hi 4 face and hands; but heedless of all the darily t , intruder clam bered up to the alarming height of SO or !if) fee ;,when accidentally laying hold of a piece of loose rock, whit°, aave way with him, he lost his balance, but had the preser xe of mind to make a sudden leap from the face of the rock much to the satisfaction of his winged neighbours, who rel , aced at his exit. He fell into the water, and to the great ,jo,y and surprise of his friends, escaped unhurt.— Glasgow Cotwier.

The Prefect, in reply, addressed a let ter to the President of the Chamber of Commerce, stating that the delay was caused simply by the difficulties attending an ar rangement in course of negotiation with Belgium, and by which, several important manufacturing interests were to obtain con cessions. These diffieulties are, he says, on the point of being removed, and nothing will prevent the ordonnanee from appear.- jug before the end of the month.
