WHO WOULD REPRESENT THE COUNTY, and is inclined to field sports, will find this a real godsend. The Castle is large and ancient, but the situation is quite irresistible, with a view to improve it, and render it adapted to a man of for. tune.

It is seated in a beautiful valley, one of the most enchanting throughout South Wales, ON THE II ANK OF THE WYE, and there are walks extending two miles, adorned by magnificent timber. THE ESTATE EXTENDS OVER SIX THOUSANIS,ijRE.,i: of which there is near THREE HUNDRED ACRES OF LAWN AND RICH WATER MEADOWS. THE MANORS EXTEND TO TWENTY THOUSAND ACRES, - • • independently of the domain, unconnected with the estate, which is also well supplied with game throughout. The pheasant shoot ing is famous, and the salmon fishing admirable, and there is a SHOOTING-BOX IN THE CENTRE. There are several small farms7and - i;-1..a home demesne connected with Langoed Castle may be estimated at 1,200 acres. The estate being chiefly grass is free from the fluctuation of corn, and the present rental is about FOUR THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED A YEAR. There are TWO A DVO WSO NS, within three miles of each other, giving additional value and con sequence to the purchase, which is altogether one of such import aner that a Nabob will be fortunate in the possession of it. The Duke of Beaufort's moors adjoin this estate. Mr. Robins strongly recommends this little principality to his Friends and the Public, as a very sound investment.

IN BUCKS, The ORCHARD HILL ESTATE, approximating upon Chal font Park, a delightful Residence in the centre of a Domain of 135 Acres of Park and Agricultural Lands, with Gardens and Pleasure-grounds, screened from the high-road by luxuriant Plantations, and within 20 miles of London. _ _ _ it. (4EoRGE ROBINS is instructed by his respectable client, THE REV. THOS. LUDBEY, to SELL by PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mad, on THURSDAY, June 2, at Twelve, in One Lot, AN UNUSUALLY DESIRABLE FREEHOLD PROPERTY. embracing one of the most inviting throughout the county, con, sidering its limited extent. THE ORCHARD HILL EST ATE has always been remarked for a combination of everything con nected with comfort ; a sort of quietude prevails throughout, for without pretending to the art of modern tactics, it claims to be called altogether a cozy habitation, than which a higher panep ric does not occur to the composer of this sketch. It is only 20 miles from London, and eight from the railway station, with a capital road passing through it to Leamington, Buckingham, Windsor, and Aylesbury; it is within an easy drive of Bulstrode Park, Dropmere, Clio - den, and Tapton, all favoured objects in the imme diat► vicinity, while CHALFONT PAYIK AND ESTAtE is not merely its immediate neighbour, but seems an absolute ap pendage to the property under review, since the delights insepara. We from a finely wooded park, and grounds undulating most beau. tifully in every direction, are possessed in the fullest extent with. out sustaining any of its outlay. THE QUIET LITTLE DEMESNE under consideration is limited to ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVE ACRES, ALL FREEHOLD, A PORTION TITHE FREE, AND NO LAND TAX. It is of a parkish character, prettily timbered, and the residence seems especially adapted either to a sporting manor a retired mer. chant. It contains the most abundant accommodation, including altogether 10 bed chamber, ; the drawing-room and parlour, with a bow window to each, 27 feet long; library, breakfast-room com municating with the CONSERVATORY AND THE DUTCH GARDEN, presenting altogether a very agreeable ensemble. The offices within and without include all that can be desired : in the courtyard will be found every appendage to comfort in its literal sense. The kit chen garden exceeds an acre of prolific ground, walled round and clothed with choice fruit trees. The Dutch garden is disposed in excellent taste, and the American border (as it is denominated) is extensive and full of luxuriant plants, with A RHODODENDRON FENCE, the effect of which should be seen at the proper season to be under stood or appreciated. The buildings essential to agricultural pia_ suits are ranged around the farmyard, which is warm and shel tered. They/ are six cottages, dispersedly placed, of which four are vis-a-vis to the two entrees to Ch a lfont Park. Such is a very moderate outline of a most enviable property in a neighbourhood particularly prone to good fellowship. Packs of hounds are within easy reach, and game sufficient for amusement. It can only be viewed by a printed particular, which will have a drawing of the house and grounds annexed, and be ready 28 days antecedent to the sale, at the White Horse, Uxbridge; the White hart Hotel, Windsor ; Botham's, Salthill ; of Messrs. Cunnington and Veley, solicitors, Braintree ; the Auction Mart; and in Covent-garden. ORIENTAL MSS. The COLLECTION of the CELEBRATED TRAVELLER, JA DIES BRUCE, of K I NNA I RD, consisting of from 90 to 100 vols., in high Preservation ; a Peremptory Sale. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has received direc tions from the representatives of the above distinguished Traveller to SELL by PUBLIC AUCTION, on MONDAY, May 30, at his Great Room, in Covent-garden, at Twelve, A VALUABLE COLLECTION OF ORIENTAL LITERA. 'PURE, not only suited to the learned societies and individuals of this, but those also of all other nations. Mr. Robins is too well aware that any attempt of his to heighten the ♦alue of this splendid col lection of MSS. would exceed his descriptive powers, but he feels it to be his bounden duty to bespeak the most earnest attention, not only of the • CURIOUS AND LEARNED IN ORIENTAL LITERATURE but also of every Prince and Governor throughout Christian Europe, whose first and indispensable duty to their people is to furnish them with the pure version " OF GOD'S HOLY SCRIPTURES." If it be true, as many are disposed to believe, even among the most learned persons, that errors through imperfect translation or other cause, has found its way into our version of the Old Testament, those errors should not be suffered to remain, and every effort within the power of man should be made to clear away all such misinterpretations, and to substitute in their place God's Truth, ac. cording to his Holy Word. Mr. Robins feels assured that there can be but one answer to the suggestions he has ventured to submit, and that he will be most happy who shall have it in his power to remove even the slightest error from that most Holy Book. He feels both pleasure and pride (as well he may; in being made the humble me dium of supplying the means whereby this highly important desi deratum may be accomplished. It now only remains for him to submit a slight outline of the precious contents of the casket which he has directions to transfer to the highest bidder. The contents are, the Ethiopic Version of the Old Testament complete, except ing the Psalms, which have been published by Ludolf, but in cluding the Book of Enoch, one of the only three copies known. THE SONG OF SOLOMON, in all the different Abyssinian dialects, with a vocabulary in each. Two copies of THE FOUR GOSPELS, IN ETHIOPIC, and the Epistles and Acts of the Apostles in the same language. The celebrated Chronicle of A xum, and the History of Habbeth, in 5 vols. Also an Arabic MS., relating to the Histories of the Caliphs of Yemen, Syria, Egypt, and of the Conquest of Spain by the Saracens. The Topography of Egypt and the Course of the Nile. THE LIFE OF ANTAR, POEMS, &c., and an extremely curious and unique Coptic MS. on papyrus, supposed to be of the very early date of the second century. The ABS. may be inspected at Mr. George Robins'► Offices, where descriptive catalogues may be had. IN ST. JAMES'S-STREET. The SPLENDID CONTEMPORARY to CROCKFORD'S, the SUBSCRIPTION HOUSE, the CORNER of BENNETT STREET. A FREEHOLD GROUND-RENT of 300/. a-year, arising from this first-rate abode, and the REVERSIONARY INTEREST to 6001. or 700/. a-year, in 44 years. MR. GEORGE ROBINS respectfully makes known that he is directed by the Mortgagee, with full power of sale, to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPE'T'ITION, at his Great Room, in Covent.garden, on MONDAY, May 30, at Twelve, the distinguished FREEHOLD ESTATE, cne of the MOST SPLENDID IN LONDON, both within and without; in fact it is a contemporaneous palace with, or it may be denominated CROCKFORD'S IN MINIATURE. It was erected by the Messrs. Bond a few years since in a magni. fieent manner, regardless of expence, as A FASHIONABLE OPPOSITION SUBSCRIPTION HOUSE, It is adorned throughout by French windows. The interior is completed in a style that must be seen, or it cannot be appreciated. THE SPLENDID GRAND SUITE, au premier, can hardly be exceeded either in its taste or magni. licence. The ceilings are one uninterrupted continuation of IMMENSE PLATES OF GLASS, reflecting everywhere the splendou r that adorns THE INTERIOR OF THIS FAIRY LAND. There are altogether ten bedchambers, two morning rooms, hide. pendent of the great suite, capital dining parlours, and a cuisine and larder below, worthy of Monsieur Ude, with all sorts of al,. pendages essential to family comfort, and cellaring worthy of an Emperor. THIS FREEHOLD GROUND RENT OF THREE HUNDRED POUNDS A.YEA R, is secured for a term, of which forty.fuur years are yet unexpired. It was entirely re-built a few years since at a cost which may be estimated at near " TEN THOUSAND POUNDS." It is under lease to Messrs. Bond, for a period which will be deter. mined in thirteen years, at a very INADEQUATE RENT OF SIX HUNDRED POUNDS A-YEAR, and at the end of the term in forty-four years, the purchaser will be entitled to the increased rent. As an investment, it appears esp, , cially adapted to those who look forward to an adequate pro vision for their children, for he must be sceptical over much who can doubt that St. James's.street will not maintain its proud superi ority to the end of time. Particulars may be had at the Auction Mart ; of Messrs. Met. calfe, Woodnouse, and Metcalfe, Lincoln's Inn; Messrs. Simpson, and Co., Solicitors, Austin Friars ; and in Covent-garden. P.S.— It can only be viewed by a card, from two till four, and the kind permission of Mr. Bond. ON SHOOTER'S HILL THE (;ROVE; a greatly admired Villa, a little removed from the High Road, with delightful Pleasure Grounds, Lawns, and Plantations) that encompass it, and rich Paddocks, altogether Eleren Acres. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed by 11Iajor- General Sir John May to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPE TITION, at the Auction Mart, on WEDNESDAY, the Ist of June, a very delightful Villa—one that has uniformly been pointed out as the leading feature of this romantic spot; it is denominated THE GROVE ON SHOOTER'S HILL; a little removed from the perpetual bustle of the Dover.road. Its entree is by a lodge of pretty design, covered with ivy. The man sion is on a lofty position, but the wintry winds are estranged from this domicile of comfort by THE WOODLAND SCENICY by which it is encompassed. Within the domain there is an infi nite variety of everything that can please the eye. It is diversified by lawn and pleasure.grounds, and wilderness and plantations, with shrubbery walks extending far and wide. From the summit the scene into THE BEAUTEOUS VALE BELOW is so picturesque, so varied, and s;extensive, as to puzzle thefeeble Powers of the writer to describe it faithfully, without encountering; the charge of colouring the landscape too highly. It may be said in great truth, throughout England, there is nothing to surpass it ; .the most fastidious would find it difficult to improve even in their mind's eye the panorama that is presented ; the river with its moving scenery appears like A SPLENDID LAKE TO ADORN THE LOVELY V ALLEY, and is a valuable auxiliary to the Grove; the ♦iews are of such extent as may be imagined by bringing within sight the massive pile of Windsor Castle, after passing over a vale of singular richness and variety; and there are ornamental waters dispers edly placed throughout the domain, to diversify and ornament the landscape. The kitchen gardens are walled and plentifully sup plied. But it is time to recur to the Mansion : it is a solid structure, erected with a view to durability ; it is one full of com fort and convenience ; there is, in fact, no lack of anything that a gentleman of fortune or a first-rate merchant can desire, who re tires from his daily professional gains to enjoy the quiet repose of the Grove; and there is a conservatory, to find amusement dur ing his absence to a fair hostess. The property extends to about ELEVEN ACRES OF LAND, . _ including the house, wood, gardens, and rich park meadows. In the court-yard are two coach-houses sod six -stall stables, with brewhouse, and all the appendages connected with the word com fort. The leasehold is subject to only a nominal ground-rent. The Railway Terminus is only three miles off. Particulars, may be had of George Shaw, Esq., solicitor, Billericay; at the Green Man, Blackheath; the Auction Mart ; and in Covent-garden. IN THE SOUTH OF DEVONSHIRE. The COLLATON KIRKHAM ESTATE, 1,170 ACRES, all FREEHOLD, an INVESTMENT of GREAT IMPORT ANCE, with the MANORIAL RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES, and an unexceptionable TENANTRY; 100 ACRES of WOODS and PLANTATIONS, with the entire VILLAGE of COLLATON, Three Miles from Torquay, MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to OFFER. to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, Lo.,don, on THURSDAY, June 2, in One Lot, at Twelve, A SINGULARLY ELIGIBLE FREEHOLD LANDED ES- T A TE, which, it may be stated, stands alone THROUHOUT DEVON'S FAVOURED LAND AS AN INVESTMENT, WHEREIN DOUBT AND UNCERTAINTY ARE ENTIRELY REMOVED. It is fortunately without the alloy of a mansion and its consequent expense. It comprehends altogether about ELEVEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY ACRES OF MEADOW, PASTURE, ORCHARD, AND WOOD LANDS, divided into convenient farms; a few only are on lease for a short period, and the whole very considerably underlet. The real value on the determination of the few leases will exceed TWO THOUSAND POUNDS A YEAR. THE COLLATON KIRKHAM ESTATE INCLUDES THE WHOLE VILLAGE OF COLLATON. A rich East Indian should be tempted into this purchase and splen did vicinity, not unfrequently assimilated TO HEAVEN UPON EARTH, if he would repair the mischief inflicted by getting wealth at the expense of a debilitated constitution. Torquay, which is on the verge of this estate, with splendid villas most invitingly placed in readiness for a nabob, is famed for the countless numbers of van tudinarians that have been restored to health by the genial influ ence of its atmosphere. Dartmouth and Totnes are close at hand, and Exeter within a drive of two hours, and WITHIN EIGHT HOURS OF THE METROPOLIS OF LONDON. THE TENANTRY ARE ALL FIRST-RATE MEN ; AND NOT A SOLITARY ARREAR ON THE ESTATE. It may be noticed that amongst the infinity of claims, the scenery Is not the least; on the acclivity, which appears 2,000 feet above the sea, is presented A PANORAMA QUITE PERFECT. Torquay and Babbocombe Bay are seen at the foot of this stupen•• dons and romantic hill, while the UNRIVALLED DART winds its rapid and circuitous route through WOODLAND SCENERY OF SURPASSING BEAUTY, and presents a constant accession of fresh delight. THE PACKET STATION is finally fixed at Dartmouth. THE MANOR AND MANORIAL RIGHTS will not be disregarded. The grazing portion of the land is unsur passable ; the cattle fed at Paynton are soon recognised at Smith field. 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, and THE ENTIRE VILLAGE OF COLLATON. Thus terminates a very imperfect representation of the most de. sirable investment of the county. 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 Seven Stars, Totnes ; of Messrs. Every and Son, solicitors, Exeter , of Messrs. Elliott and Son, Paingtori ; at the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. George RobiAs's offices, Loriiiion --i. - ~....... .

IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PART OF DEVONSHIRE. BA R COMBE HOUSE, a delightful abode, three miles distant from Torquay, seated in Park Grounds of 15 Acres, and in the midst of the most delightful Scenery in England. R. GEORGE ROBINS is favoured by instruc tions from the Proprietor to offer to PUBLIC COM PETITION, at the Auction Mart, on THURSDAY, June 30, at Twelve, BARCOMBE HOUSE, in the most esteemed part of Devonshire, within three miles of the FASHIONABLE TOWN OF TORQUAY, which is accounted the most reherche amid the clustre of Devon's attractive watering places. THIS BEAUTIFUL ABODE has just been completed at an enormous expense ; it is modelled IN THE ITALIAN ORDER OF ARCHITECTURE, is very consequential in its outward form, and combines within every possible accommodation that a family of distinction can re quire ; In fact, it appears to approach as nearly as posible to perfection. AN EAST INDIAN NABOB, who has damaged his constitution a little in the pursuit of wealth, will find this a real god send, the climate is so mild, so congenial, that it infuses new powers, both of mind and body ; it gives fresh vigour, and the East Indian invalid, who has returned in doubt as to how long he may enjoy his fortune, may, by possessing Bar combe House, count upon a prolonged lease for many years, and a constitution entirely restored ; in fact, it is now accounted in finitely more encouraging than the south of France; of the situa tion it is really impossible to do it justice by a short recapitula tion, because amid a SCENE SO PERFECTLY BEAUTIFUL, many of its charms will be overlook ed, and therefore it is that Met Robins prefers to solicit those who would repose in this beautiful spot to go and seek occular demonstration. The villa stands upon an elevated terrace, is defended from the south.westerly gales by a highly beautiful and bold rock, which excludes also the north and wintry winds ; the sea is only half a mile off, and the views which ar e presented in such endless variety extend to the bold and pre cipitous cliff of Bury head, including Torbay in the opposite di rection. The landscape is varied by the rich vale, beautifully wooded, with the parish church of Paington standing prominent in the picture,then Torquay (which has left all its little compeers far off) is seen, with its FOREST OF VILLAS, of the most picturesque class, with lovely grounds, and each seem.. ing to contend for the ascendancy in public opinion. These appear all to be embosomed in the rich, the luxuriant prospect of the woodland scenery, and the enchanting valley that separates it from the town ; but it is in vain to do it justice, it must be seen to be appreciated. There are about FOURTEEN ACRES OF PARKISH GROUNDS, ALL RICH FREEHOLD LAND, throughout which meanders A ;CEVER.FAILING TROUT STREAM. The sea road from Dawlish to Brixham, unrivalled tbr itsbeauty throughout England, is in communication with this property; in tine, it may be fearlessly asserted, that it is one of the prettiest and most classical habitations that can be conceived. There are plans to show the extent of the accommodation within and without, and a drawing, which is lithographed, displaying the beauty of its architectural form, to be had (at 6d. each) one month antecedent to the sale, at the principal Libraries in the adjacent Watering•places; the New London Inn, Exeter; the Auction Mart; and at Mr. George Robins's effices, London. FARNHAM ROYAL, near to the STATION at SLOUGH and WINDSOR. A beautiful Swiss Cottage and Paddock. It. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to SELL by PUBLIC AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on THURSDAY, June 16th, AN ELEGANT VILLA IN THE SWISS STYLE, delightfully situated at the entrance to the village of Farnham Royal, and commanding a magnificent view of Windsor Castle, anti the adjacent country. The Villa has been recently built in the most complete manner, and wholly regardless of expense. The balconies and verandah, and all the ornamental parts, are in singu lar good taste, and chiefly of carved oak. The principal windows are decorated with paintings of elegant design ; and the furnishings througi out will, on examination, be found to exhibit the order and symmetry of an elaborate taste, yet strength and durability are every where conspicuous ; and the mixture of solidity and ele gance is a prominent feature in this Villa, when compared with most others of recent erection. It is A SINGULARLY ELEGANT LITTLE BIJOU, one of a character to suit a moderate-sized family; though, from its extreme order and compactness, it is, perhaps, more distinctly, UNE MAISON DE ISACHELIER. The lawn and flower garden are on a gentle slope, most tastefully laid out, and planted with the choicest flowering shrubs. The kitchen gardens, in the rear, is very productive. The otchard is well stocked with fruit trees. Mr. Robins feels an irresistible impulse, to call the attention of the elite in good taste to this delightful toy. It is two miles from Windsor, and two nom the Great Western Station. Particulars may be had, twenty-one days prior to the sale, at Bo tham's, Salthill ; the Hotels,lWindsor ; of Messrs. Farrar and Lake, Doctors' Commons; the Auction Mart ; and Coven!--garden. THE FAVOURED VILLA AT FROGNAL, HAMPSTEAD. A most Delightful Italian Abode, with Beautiful Grounds, Planta tions, and Lawns, with Ornamental Water, and a profusion of Luxuriant Timber, Two-and-a-Half Miles only from the Metro. polls, and yet most perfectly isolated. SIR. GEORGE ROBINS has great pleasure in making known that he is empowered to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 23d of June, at Twelve o'Clock, A Singularly Delightful FREEHOLD and PART COPY. HOLD VILLA, presenting a structure based on the Italian order of architecture, a most imposing building without, and combining in the interior every comfort that even one allttle fastidiously disposed would find it a source that must draw upon his ingenuity to find a fault with ; and it should be observed THIS PERFECT SUBURBAN VILLA, adorned by a splendid Conservatory, is happily within two and a half miles of the Regent's-park, so that it necessarily becomes suited to a gentleman who has no predilection to encounter the expense of two establishments. It may indeed put in indubitable claims to be designated THE VERITABLE RUS IN URBE. To create a place altogether so beautiful, it will be inferred, as a in,.tter of course, that the purse-strings have been called into active requisition ; it is material, however, to add VERY GREAT TACT HAS PRESIDED over every department, and if perfection be a term allowed in an announcement to convey a sense of possessing all that within a limited space is to be found congregated any where, then the Villa under discussion puts in an irresistible claim. The Offices throughout are most abundant, and in the Court-yard (which is entirely shut out by the Plantations) is Coach.house, staling for five Horses, with a retinue of subordinate Offices, including a beautiful Dairy, in short, family comfort has been studied through out ; it now becomes imperative to allude to the surrounding scene, The Domain, including the Park Paddock, extends to about TWELVE ACRES, of whieh four or five are disposed in a Kitchen Garden, most beau. tifully supplied, with lofty walls, and en exuberance of produce therefrom, with THE PLEASURE GROUNDS AM) EXTENSIVE LAWNS, laid out with such profound judgment that those who claim to be very recherche in this art will reluctantly yield the palm. Nature, it is true, has been most bountiful in its essential attributes. THE BEAUTIFUL UNDULATION OF THE GROUNDS should be seen with a view to form a moderate estimate, for every thing that can be conceived in an extended Park will be found IN MINIATURE WITHIN THIS HAPPY REGION, The American Plants and Flowering Shrubs are seen in countless hundreds, giving grace and ornament to a scene that is really dlffi. cult to describe, and In order that the Landscape may not lack every redeeming virtue to make it perfect, THE ORNAMENTAL WATERS are so endowed by nature that, from the House, they appear of in creased extent. There is an ice-house well placed, and around this domicile are walks amid plantations of stately growth, with never ending hill and dale, so as to catch perpetually ti evarious interest. ing views that are ever and anon presented, extending, in one direction, to Windsor Castle, and, in the opposite, to Dorking and the Surrey Hills, and yet within this LITTLE SCENE OF ENCHANTMENT (and Mr. Robins uses this phrase advisedly) there is a quietude and repose, that would almost puzzle Devonshire's famed beauties to fi n d a parallel case. By way of conclusion, it will not be amiss to state, and especially to those who may be desirous to repair a debili tated constitution, that the air is most efficacious, and the full grown timber that adorns the grounds entirely dissipate the fear arising from the wintry winds, since they are entirely secluded, and the little army of American plants present a lively picture of green freshness throughout the otherwise dismal months of winter. The Estate is Freehold and Copyhold, and immediate possession may be c btained. It can only be seen by tickets, 21 days antecedent to the sale, to he had at Mr. George Robins's oftlce, Covent-garden.

GEORGE ROBINS is directed by the Noble Marquis to SELL by PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, on WEDNESDAY, June 1, at Twelve, THE ADMIRED SUBURBAN VILLA OF THE MARQUIS OF BUTE, at Campden.hill, a mile only from the metropolis, a chosen spot amid quietude and repose for the select few who have been so for tunate as to possess one of these chateaus. Within the clustre, this stands conspicuous. THE MARCHIONESS OF BUTE devoted very much of her time, so that it necessarily partakes of the superior taste for which she was greatly distinguished. It was originally a Villa in its literal sense, but the noble owner has given to it a more imposing character, by an outlay of "many thousand pounds" in constituting it one of THE MOST RECHERCHE IN LONDON'S ENVIRONS; there is capability to accommodate a family of rank, aided b) a profusion of comforts which are generally estranged from modern buildings ; and the offices are most perfect—and this be it remem bered (and much more may be added) is within a quarter of an hour's drive of THE HOUSE OF LORDS AND COMMONS. It has already been said it abounds with family comfort; it is so judiciously planned that the grand suite of apartments are all in communication with the long gallery verandah, which overlooks and extends by a flight of ,tone steps to the beautiful lawn, where the cypress and the weeping willow are contrasted with a little army of American plants and flowering shrubs without end; in the centre of this beauteous scene is THE LITTLE PARK PADDOCK, and around it is the plantation walk. The villa is adorned by A CONSERVATORY AND HOT-HOUSE, the melon and cucumber grounds are a little removed in company with the fish pond; the kitchen garden is on the opposite side, only separated by the road, and there is an additional paddock for two mere cows connected with it; the courtyard is so complete that it would be difficult to discover a single want; in fact, it is altogether one of the most eligible villas in the market. It can only be viewed by particulars, to be bad of Messrs. Roy, Blunt, Johnston, and Walton, Solicitors, Lothbury; the Auction Mart; and in Covent-garden. In a romantic part of the County of KENT, between RIVER- HEAD and WESTERHA M. A delightful RESIDENCE, with Thirty Acres of Land, about 25 miles from the Metropolis, and immediate possession, MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed by the Proprietor to offer for UNIVERSAL COMPETITION at the Auction Mart, on THURSDAY, June 16, at Twelve, A singularly attractive FREEHOLD ESTATE, to those de voted to the enjoyments of a rural life. It is known as PIIILLII'INES, NEAR TO BItASTED, IN KENT, in a county proverbially the most lovely, encircled by one continued scene of beauty, commanding a varied and picturesque panorama of boundless extent, including the coast of Essex, with the Thames and its moving scenery, and the Kent and Surrey hills reaching beyond the rich intermediate valley. The Estate, adjoins those of the Earl of Stanhope and Lord Temp, emote, and is in excellent order, the present Proprietor having, by a most judicious outlay, rendered it perfect in every department. The Residence pos sesses ample accommodation for a moderate sized Family. Noble Drawing and Dining-rootns, each 25 feet by 21 , elegantly fitted up, and two Bedchambers of similar dimensions, with several of smaller size, and a morning room opening to a conservator•. The °tikes are excellent ; we.l supplied with water ; and in the Courtyard there is Stabling for five horses, double Coach-house, and Farm buildings. THE GARDEN AND: PLEASURE.GROUNDS ENCIRCLE THE RESIDENCE, which is approached by a carriage-drive, through a lobby entrance. The Kitchen Garden is walled, well sheltered, and abundantly stocked with the choicest fruit-trees. THE DOMAIN EXTENDS TO THIRTY ACRES, divided into Oreharding, Meadow, Arable, and Woodland, with a Walk bounding the property. Game is here in abundance, and aftbrds never-ending amusement to a Country Gentleman.

The celebrated MODEL of the TAGE MUHAL, a splendid and unique Work of Art, executed in Ivory, from the original, erected for the Great Mogul. MR. GEORGE ROBINS respectfully announces to all those who patronise and admire the fine arts, that he is directed by the Proprietor to SELL by PUBLIC AUCTION, at the Cosmorama Rooms, 209, Regent-street, where it is exhibiting, on MONDAY, May 30, at Three for Four most punctually, a Splendid and Elaborate MODEL, from one of the most remarkable edifices in Agra, or Fourth Presidency of India, erected in 1650, by THE FIFTH GREAT MOGUL, AS A CEMETERY FOR HIS BELOVED WIFE. It is a subject of no small difficulty to give a faint idea of THIS WONDERFUL WORK OF ART in the accustomed limit of an advertisement. A very short ana lysis will, it is believed, awaken the attention of all those who know how to appreciate such a matchless display of ingenuity, and incline them to seek, by ocular demonstration, a confirmation far exceeding the impression this imperfect representation may have elicited. It should be remarked that the original from which THIS SPLENDID MODEL OF THE MAUSOLEUM IS FORMED ENTIRELY OF WHITE MARBLE, and some idea may be imagined of its extraordinary magnificence by the simple fact that the original cost in its completion SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS. It is raised on an elevated terrace of white and yellow marble; having at its angles four lofty minarets of the same material. The centre hall is the size of the Ratcliffe Library. Enclosed within is a carved screen of elaborate tracery, and the tombs of the Great Mogul and his beloved wife. The ivory model of this paragon of beauty, the subject of this announcement, occupies a space of nine square feet, and is six feet high. The walls, the tombs, and the screens, are covered with representations of Rowers and inscrip. tions, executed in mosaic, lapis lazuli, and jasper, by different coloured ivories. It is the work of Indian artists, and probably is the chef d'ceuvre and the greatest effort in Indian Ivory. working. It is not the hasty produce of a day, but the result of many years of patient application. The windows are carved in lattices, and the pavement is in alternate squares of white, or, as it is termed in England," Sienna marble;'' and around the hall are various apart ments and corridors. It is the writer's ardent desire, and a con summation devoutly to be wished, that it should be placed in THE ARCHIVES OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM, as an imperishable record of the perseverance and talent of our Indian subjects, and the model of a real building now extant ; consequently it can no where find so worthy and appropriate a resting.place as the classic depository already alluded to.— A more minute description is ready at the Exhibition Rooms, 209, Regen • street, and in Covent-garden. IN WILTS. The highly valuable and important ESTATES of W. L. WREN', Esq.,' near to afelkshain, including the GROVE MANSION and GROUNDS, with some of the best Dairy Farms within the County; 365 acres of superior Meadow Land, within three- And.a.half hours of the Metropolis, a capital investment. . . MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the pleasure to announce that he is directed to OFFER to PUBLIC COM. PETITION, at the Auction Mart, on TUURSDAY, June 23, at Twelve, AN UNUSUALLY IMPORTANT FREEHOLD LANDED ESTATE, combining so many advantages, so varied, and yet all of them so important, that it is not an easy task to condense them within the ordinary scope of a public announcement; it shall, however ,be attempted.

The mansion, called the Grove, is a building of the old school ; the offices are commensurate; the house is not too large, but it would be improved by a little good taste in decoration. It is seated on a beautiful lawn, amid the splendid foliage of fulLgrown timber and plantations. The gardens are abundant, and it possesses THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT OF FISHING IN THE RIVER AVON. Its contiguity to Bath and the large intermediate towns, and a vicinity as highly famed for respectability as any in England ; and the Wilts and Berks Canal intersects the land. It will now become necessary to recur to a most important feature in this sale. It includes THE CELEBRATED MELKSHAM SPA, which is surrounded by about 100 acres of land, admirably adapted for a building speculation on a large scale, and which in the hands of an enterprising proprietor, might shortly become a formidable rival to watering places of a similar character already established. Also SEVERAL FREEHOLD DAIRY FARMS, that seem to stand alone for their superior quality; there is no thing in the vicinity that will aspire to a comparison ; the quality of the soil is proverbially first-rate—it is, in fact, unsurpassable. IT IS EXEMPT FROM LAND TAX, and the tithes are commuted at a very low rent ; it extends to THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FIVE ACRES, bounded and occasionally refreshed by the Avon, four miles from THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY, seven miles from Chippenham and Devizes, and about ten from Bath. THE WOODLAND SCENERY of the neighbourhood gives a very imposing feature to the pro perty ; it is altogether an investment free from any alloy, and not surpassable anywhere. It can be viewed by particulars, which may be had at the Grove Mansion twenty-one days before the sale ; also at the King's Arm:, Melksharn ; the best Inns at Devizes and Chippenham; White Hart, Bath ; of Messrs. Bicknell, Roberts, Finch, and Neate, Soli. citors, Lincoln's Inn.fields ; Mr. Mullmer, Surveyor, Old Broad. street; at the Auction Mart; and in Covent.garden. SALES BY AUCTION. - IN WARWICKSHIRE.
