FEE FARM and other RENTS, formerly belonging to the CROWN, amounting in the whole to £622 per Annum. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has received instruc tions to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, in Six Lots, on THURSDAY, June 20, at Twelve, NUMEROUS FEE,E.AII,M and other RENTS, amounting in the aggregate to £622 per ANNUM, or THEREABOUTS, issuing out of Lands and properties situate in EIGHTEEN COUNTIES IN ENGLAND, many of which properties belong to parties holding a prominent position in their several counties; and the col ection of these rents is therefore easy and regu'ar. To a person who would be his own receiver these rents offer considerable advantages. It is probable a large sum might be realised by retailing the rents, which are in number 420, and selling them separately to the various owners of the estates paying the same. Particulars may be had of Messrs. Oddie and Lumley, so citors, Carey-street; Mr. Reeves, Lyons Inn ; the Mart ; and at Mr. George Robin's Offices, Covent-garden. IN HANTS, CLOSE TO CHRISTCHURCH, The SPLENDID MARINE RESIDENCE, PARK, and DEMESNE. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has been instructed to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, in London, on THURSDAY, the I3th June, at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot, A DISTINGUISHED MARINE VILLA, oompleted within a few years, regardless of expense, and is unques- tionably one of the MOST ATTRACTIVE FEATURES OF THE COUNTRY. THE BURE HOMAGE is within two short miles of Christchurch and the Sea. THIS SPLENDID MANSION displays considerab'e taste. The architectural skill cannot be tco highly panegyrised—there is a bold commanding appearance--such an imposing front as to leave others at a fearful distai,ce. The entree to this delightful habitation is by a Lodge of clever design, and a circuitous route through the pleasure-grounds and planta tions, encountering the novel scene of SEVERAL RURAL BRIDGES, across the fresh meandering stream, which pursues its irregular course, and materially aids this magnificent spectacle. The back front, which extends to 160 feet, is supported by • NOBLE CORINTHIAN COLUMNS. THE GRAND SUITE OF CHAMBERS are in communication with the spacious paved Gallery. The effect which is here produced is really quite electrical ; nothing in nature or art can surpass it. THE BARONESS DE FEUCHERES has given manifest proof of extraordinary taste in the arrangement throughout. On an emergency twenty.five beds have been made up. The hand of an artiste of superior pretensions is visible every where; indeed, everything resolves itself into the unequivocal term of perfection. There is a little demesne of THIRTY.SEVEN ACRES OF PARK.LIKE GROUND, disposed in unequivocal taste, with flowering shrubs and expen sive plants to diversify the picture, and additional land may be had if the possessor should require it. The kitchen-garden, with lofty walls, is fully commensurate for all the legitimate wants of a family. The Court-yard incloses an infinity of offices of the best description; detached Laundry, &c. The situation is quite beautiful. If HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN had been advised to see it, little doubt will be entertained that it would have " TRIUMPHANTLY CARRIED THE PALM." _ It is close to Christchurch, where the bathing is not surpassable. Lots of hunting and shooting close at hand, and but three hours' drive from Southampton, and six hours only from London. The climate is very mild, longevity prevails everywhere, and an East Indian, is moderate health, will add at least a twenty-one years term to his life. The Mansion is appropriately furnished throughout, and may be taken at a fair valuation. Particulars 28 days prior to the sale, rtt Mr. Galpine's Library, Lymington, with a drawing and plan to accompany the printed par ticulars, at 6d. each ; also at the Dolphin and Royal Hotel, South. ampton ; the best Inns at Christchurch, Lymington, and Lynd. burst; of Messrs.

IN SOUTH DEVONSHIRE, the most interesting part near to CHUDLEIGH, and only Ten Miles from EXETER.—A FREEHOLD ESTATE, including a superior Farm-house and Buildings, with 170 Acres of capital Land, and a Cottage Villa, in a most Romantic Spot. —By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, at the Auction Mart, on TUESDAY, June 18, at Twelve o'Ciock, in ONE LOT, A SINGULARLY ELIGIBLE FREEHOLD PROPERTY, consisting of one of the MOST FAVOURED LITTLE ESTATES THROUGHOUT TJIE SOUTH OF DEVONSHIRE. It is called Bettor, in the parish of Hennock, and only three miles from Chudleigh. THE COTTAGE ORNEE is an exceedingly pretty abode, environed by picasure.groundo and gardens, and placed on A ROMANTIC BEAUTIFUL SPOT AT THE BASE OF THE CELEBRATED CLUSTER OF THE FAR-FAMED BOTTOR ROCKS, which rise imperceptibly to the height of 150 feet, forming A GENIAL SHELTER TO THE VILLA in all weather. THE CLAUDE-LIKE PICTURE which is here tepresented must be seen to be adequately appreciated; there is absolutely nothing throughout Devon's never-ending beau ties that can surpass the splendour of the scenery which environs this enviable estate ; it is uninterrupted and almost without end. Perhaps Mr. Robins may be excused for adding to this faint portraiture THE SPLENDID SCENE OVER THE BOVEY VALE, THE: RUGGED TORS OF LUSTLEIGH AND lIAYTON ; LORD EXMOUTH'S, ' AT 'CANNONTEIGN, TERMINATING WITH SIR LAWRENCE PALK'S, AND THE DISTANT HILLS OF FAMED DARTMOOR, AND NOT FORGETTING THE OLD ROMAN ROAD IN THE DISTANCE. This completes a landscape unrivalled in the county. THE CAPITAL PLEASURE FARM EXTENDS TO ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX ACRES OF VERY SUPERIOR MEADOW, ORCHARD. PASTURE, AND ARABLE LAND, in the occupation of Mr. Nortcott, a very respectable tenant, at a very low rent. The villa residence is quite ample to give every facility to the views of one inclined to field sports, fishing, &c. Th e neighbourhood is excellent, the society very select; it is in the vicinity of all the renowned watering places; in fact, it is a little property free from any alloy whatever ; to this may be safely ap. pended that it is not a little proverbial for longevity ; in the coun. try around health prevails everywhere, a tolerably safe assurance that the climate• is amongst the vast attributes to be found here. There are lots of inviting spots to undertake a building operation successfully, and there is an immense quantity of hard stone upon the property. The Railway to Exeter is now completed, so that the distance from thence to London is now only seven hours; and the South Devon Railway to Plymouth will pass within a mile and a half. It can only be seen by a printed particular, with a drawing of the villa, and a plan of the estate, to be had twenty-one days prior to the sate, at the Inns at Chudleigh, Sidmouth, Exmouth, Torquay, and the New London Inn, Exeter ; of Mr. D'Arcy, solicitor, Newton Abbott; the hart; and in Covent-garden. SALES BY AUCTION. IN LINCOLNSHIRE. INGLEBY WOOD, in the PARISH of SAXILBY, Seven Miles from LINCOLN. SIXTY-FIVE ACRES of VALUABLE GROWING OAK TIMBER. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 20th of June, at Twelve o'Clock, in Two Lots, THE RESIDUE OF THE LATE LORD MONSON'S ESTATES, INGLEBY WOOD, comprising with upwards of 65 ACRES OF FINE OAK TIMBER TREES, the average size of which approaches 50 feet, and also A QUANTITY OF ASH POLES, from ten to twenty years' growth. The wood adjoins a farm which was sold by the late Lord Monson, and LANDS BELONGING TO THE CROWN, but the circumstance which will give it most importance is—the easy shipment of the timber whenever a fall is taken, the estate being within a short mile from THE NAVIGABLE RIVER FOSS, which connects THE TRENT AND WITHAM STREAMS, and thus opens with twilit:7, and at a trifling expense, A MARKET FOR THE TIMBER wheherer it is requisite for it to be sold, in THE DOCK-YARDS OF THE HUMBER AND THE THAMES. It is at present in hand, and the outgoings ►re very trifling. Also, in the village of Saxilby, A GOOD BRICK AND TILED COTTAGE, with garden and garth, comprising about half an acre, in the occu pation of Obadiah Denman. - The woodman, George Cramnack, who lives at Sazilby, will show the property. Particulars, with conditions, may be had fourteen days before the Sale of Mr. Brown, South Carlton, Un colnshire; Messrs, Oddie and Lumley, Solicitors, Carey street, Lincoln's Inn ; the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent garden, London. AN ELEG A NT VILLA, of •ery great pretensions, in the ELIZA, BETHAN STYLE, within Four Miles of LONDON, near to KENSAL-GREEN, a :little removed from the bustle of the road, encompassed by Extensive and Beautiful Grounds, the Villa eovered with Ivy, harmonising with the chaste Porch Entree, the whole in strict accordance a ith its architectural form. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is just instructed by the noble owner to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on THURSDAY, June 13, at Twelve, in One Lot, ONE OF THE MOST ELEGANT LITTLE VILLAS I HAT ADORN THE ENVIRONS OF LONDON, THE PROPERTY OF A NOBLEMAN. IT IS FREEHOLD OF INHERITANCE, and altogether so perfect that it will not be an easy task to do it even moderate justice without encountering the fear of colouring the landscape too much; however Mr. Robins will incur this penalty rather than avoid an attempt to do it justice. It is very properly designated A PETITE MENAGE DE GARCON in its legitimate form—quite in the CHASTE STYLE OF QUEER ELIZABETH; The situation is selected with great judgment; it is not far away from the bustle of the passing scene, and yet so judiciously chosen, that it avoids all 'the disagreeables connected with the too great publicity of the high road. The approach is through the Green Lanes, and is as private as if it were two hundred miles distant. It is encompassed by a terrace walk, and a conservatory adorns one side. THROUGHOUT THE BEAUTEOUS GROUNDS everything that Repton's mind could have suggested will be found in great force here. It is impossible to imagine more of original taste and cleverness than is conspicuous throughout. THIS LITTLE WILDERNESS OF DELIGHT should be seen while there are TORRENTS OF GOLD shedding their lustre in one direction from the Laburnams, and in the opposite is presented " SEAS OF PURPLE," to vary and embellish this delightful landscape throughout the plantations of lilac. The kitchen garden is cleverly shut out of view. The fish pond, adorned by weeping willows. Then, at intervals, are seen the varied beds of rare and beauteous plants, diffusing their sweet perfume. The little summer-house, and the alcoves, vary and improve this splendid coup d'ceil. The castel lated chimneys, are introduced with great effect in the Landscape. Throughout the Elizabethan style is conspicuo .e, and within there there is a repose which is delightful, and a tact everywhere that may well claim to be worthy of imitation. It does not profess the capability to enlist a large family into this little paradise, but a moderate one, or A MAN OF FASHION, LIVING EN GARCON, will domesticate in unparalelled luxury. To sum up in one short sentence, it is perfect within and without. Particulars, with a card to view it (from Twelve till Four), may be had at Messrs. Harslake and Crealock, solicitors, 4, Regent steeet ; and Mr. George Robins's offices, Covent-garden. The LIVING. of ABBESS BODING, the VALUE ABOUT 5001. A-YEAR ; SIX MILES from ONGAR, FIVE from DUNMO W, TEN from CHELMSFORD, and only TWO HOURS' distant from LONDON; with the IMMEDIATE CURACY in VIEW. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to SELL by PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart. Lon.. don, on THURSDAY, June 13, at Twelve o'Clock, very valuable Church Preferment. THE ADVOWSON AND NEXT PRESENTATION TO THE RECTORY OF ABBESS RODING, in Essex, only twenty-seven miles from London. This snug living does not aspire to a very high position in respect to income, nor the residence to more than a domicile full of comfort. When it is stated that THE PRESENT GENERATION AND THEIR ANCESTRY HAVE NUMBERED NEARLY ONE HUNDRED YEARS in the enjoyment of these tithes, it will be imagined that modern tactics might be employed to some advantage; observing, however, that throughout it is replete with all the convenience and every comfort a respectable Clergyman can desire ; placed on a fine com manding spot, with a double yew hedge to protect it from the paling gaze, and surrounded by a beautiful lawn and pleasure grounds, shrubbery adorned by a conservatory, leading to THE GLEBE OF EIGHTEEN ACRES OF VERY PROLIFIC LAND, as the produce from the dairy at this moment demonstrates in lan guage not to be misunderstood. The offices within and without will be found abundant. Plenty of stabling, coachhouses, &c., the whole surrounded by good roads, a capital neighbourhood, prone to good fellowship, and so close to the Church that the Incumbent would be perplexed in any weather for an excuse to escape his duty. The churchyard confirms the general impression that the neighbour hood is healthy, for very few have been deposited there for the last fifty years, and the medical profession, finding their vocation hope less in this vicinity, have retreated to a less congenial climate. THE TITHES ARE COMMUTED at 4501., and, with the parsonage and glebe, may safely be as sessed at FIVE HUNDRED GUINEAS A YEAR. The population 254, with single duty. To this may be ap pended a welcome fact, that the purchaser (if he be worthy of this preference) will be immediately appointed Curate, with 1001. a year annexed to it. The gardens are so extensive that a large family must keep open house to consume all the product. It should have been observed, the Church has a superior chancel, adorned by two ancient and very fine monuments, where a portion of the Essex family are deposited. There is a classic screen, and of good design, to separate this from the Church, and the marble font may safely claim an existence beyond a century. The window has some beautiful painted glass, and is very ancient. In fact, whether it be of the parsonage and its never-ending comforts, or of the Church and its appointments (and the worthy Rector may be sure to be numbered with the latter), it is an advowson that has strong claims to public favour, and to be severely contested for. Particulars, fourteen days prior to the sale, at the Station ; and the offices of Messrs. Perkins, Gepp, and Veley, solicitors, Chelms fori ; White Hart, Brentwood ; Three Cups, Colchester ; the King's Head, Ongar ; the Auction Mart; and in Covent garden. The age of the Incumbent is sixty-two. In NORTH WALES, near to the RAILWAY from LONDON to HOLYHEAD, at LLANRWST, a most important FREE. HOLD ESTATE, extending to 2,500 Acres of Rich Land, for division in LOTS, with capital FARM RESIDENCES and AGRICULTURAL BUILDINGS, together with the PRIN CIPAL INN, and a,considerable PORTION of the TOWN, close to Lord Gwydyr's, with many SITES of BUILDING GROUND in this beauteous spot, on the BANK of the RIVER CONWAY. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to SELL, under the directions of Trustees, at the Eagles Inn, Llanrwst, on TUESDAY, June 25, and the following Day, punc.- tually at Eleven for Twelve each day, A SINGULARLY IMPORTANT FREEHOLD ESTATE, adapted especially both for occupation or safe investment; it is situate immediately adjacent to THE MARKET TOWN OF LLANRWST. AND IS CALLED THE BERTHDDU ESTATE, comprehending TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED ACRES, including some OF THE BEST LAND THROUGHOUT NORTH WALES, distributed in pasture and arable land, with very fertile water mea dows, and suitahle farm houses ; possessing the unusual advantage that all of them, as well as the agricultural buildings are in the best possible state, with an excellent tenantry, " ALL GOOD MEN AND TRUE." To be appended to these advantages is TIIE EAGLES INN, AND A LARGE PORTION OF THE TOWN OF LLANRWST, which is a most improving property. This romantic town is on THE BANK OF THE RIVER CONWAY, and in the centre of the most beautiful scenery for which North Wales is so justly extolled. There are many valuable sites, admi rably adapted to build upon, around this picturesque town, which, by the way, is close to the splendid SEAT OF LORD WILLOUGHBY DE ERESBY. It is not intended to illustrate this round unvarnished tale with any fanciful report; it will be enough to state that it is on the verge of the beautiful and " PEACEFUL VALE OF LLANRWST," in the counties of Denbigh and Carnarvon ; that it is close to the market town of Llanwrst, the Holyhead and London mail pass. ing dailg through the property, and the new railroad from London to Holyhead within an hour's drive. The importance which such an event will communicate it is difficult to estimate too highly. This railway is immediately to be commened, UNDER THE COUNTENANCE OF GOVERNMENT, and will bring the Property now for sale within a three hours' drive - of Liverpool, and eight of London. • • THE SUPERIORM OF THE SALMON AND TROUT FISHING, and the abundance of game and field sports, are all valuable auxiliaries, and as regards THE BEAUTEOUS SCENERY OF FAMED NORTH WALES, it may suffice to state that it does not yield to any throughout the county. Particulars will be ready on the tl,4th of May, instant, to be had at the best inns in the vicinity; of Robert Wynne Williams, Esq., solicitor, 3, Paper-buildings, London ; Messrs. Williams and Breese, Portmadoc ; John Sisson, Efq., Plascoch, St. Asaph ; the Auction Mart; and at Mr. George Robins's offices, London. N.B. There are most valuable and thriving plantations upon the estate, which presents altogether one of the most eligible fur its size throughout this favourite and genial climate. SALES BY AUCTION. HE THORNHILL PARK ESTATE WITHIN A SHORT D RIVE FROM SOUTHAMPTON, WITH ITS COSTLY MANSION, EXTENSIVE PLANTATIONS AND GAR. DENS, AND A DOMAIN EXTENDING TO 350 ACRES, including most valuable building Si►es near Westend, and a delightful spot at Midenburgb. _ _ . 111 GEORGE ROBINS is favoured by the in structions of the Trustees of the late JAMES BARLOW HOY, Fig , to offer to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auc tion Mart, on THUIISDAT, the 13th of June next, at Twelve o'clock, in Lots, THE MOST ELIGIBLE ESTATE IN THE ENVIRONS OF SOUTHAMPTON. This distinguished abode, which has always held a high place in public estimation, may now, by its close approximation to THE CHOSEN SEAT OF ROYALTY, claim to be one of the MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES IN HER MAJESTY'S boMINIONS. THE THORNHILL PARK ESTATE was the favourite abode of JAMES BARLOW HOY, ESQ., who for a lengthened period was THE M.P. FOR SOUTHAMPTON, and it is a fact not to be impeached, that if the new purchaser partakes of his hospitality and sound political creed, "HE WILL WALK OVER THE COURSE WHENEVER THE NEXT ELECTION ARRIVES" THE MANSION is the commanding feature of the property, and may claim to be one of the great lions in this delightful vicinity, for the late lamented Proprietor has, in its completion, spared no expense to combine in unequivocal taste LUXURY AND SPLENDOUR, WITH THE MOST PER FECT FAMILY CONVENIENCE. Some idea of the size of theiiouse may be allbrded by the enu meration of the principal apartments, with which every portion of the building is consistent. Drawing-room, 40 feet by 24 ; ante drawing.room, 30 feet by 20; billiard-room and vestibule, library and museum, and dining-room. The external architectural form is very chaste ; the front adorned by six lofty pillars, with a paved gallery leading to the terrace walk, extending to the shrubberies and plantations, which are laid out in the best taste. The entree is by a covered approach. Within the Mansion its advantages and capability may be summed up in one short sentence— " NOTHING WHATEVER IS LEFT TO BE DESIRED." To a Nobleman whose sphere of duties attaches him to the Court of his Sovereign—to an East Indian seeking for an appropriate Resi dence, in which to prolong his days in the enjoyment of his vast acquisitions, with increasing health, yet with Oriental magnificence— or to a member of "THE ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON," who seeks to invite propinquity to the rendezvous, or the comforts of a luxurious home, a residence is here offered combining advantages not to be equalled in the neighbourhood. THE DOMAIN EX TEND TO 550 ACRES, _ . . including the Thornhill Farm, of 200 acres, one coition of which is of especial value, as offering an undeniable source of increasing revenue in the rapid formation of a small and select town, which is already rising on the estate, in elegant and detached villa residences. The short distance from Southampton, combined with the extreme beauty and healthiness of situation, offer the greatest attractions to a fashionable and opulent society. Portions of the estate have been already let off on building leases, at rents producing Is. 6d. and 2s. per foot frontage, while the most beautiful sites are still unlet. About 45 acres of the most luxuriant fir and larch plan tations, and an equal quantity of valuable land, forming a small farm, are still available for this important purpose; and the recent erection of THE NORMAN GOTHIC CHURCH. is the best proof of the increasing popula tion of the neighbourhood. At a short distance is Mid e nburg, presenting another most important field for a building speculation. TheThir.y-two Acres comprise every variety of hill and dale, with views extending to the Isle of Wight, while THE SOUTHAMPTON WATERS AND THE NEW FOREST appear close at hand. This site has been pronounced by an ex perienced landscape gardener of acknowledged taste to be the most beautiful situation in the southern part of Hampshire. In short, the property, whether taken as a whole or in the detached portions, i as intended to be offered f or Sale, s in every point of view In. fluential beyond any contemporary ; and Mr. Robins confidently invites the attention of noblemen and capitalists to so important an opportunity as is here presented to them. The estate can be seen only by tickets, one month antecedent to the sale, to be had of Messrs. 11. and R. B. Sewell, solicitors, New port; of Mr. Peaty, auctioLeer, Southampton ;. and of Mr. Robins, at his Offices, Covent-garden. Printed particul a rs, w hi c h w ill contain a drawing of the mansion and grounds, and a plan of the estate (price Gd.), may be ottained as above ; of Messrs. Fosters and and Evans, 28, John-street, Bedford-row ; at the Auction Mart ; and at the Dolphin, Southampton. IN SUFFOLK, a FREEHOLD ESTATE of CONSIDERABLE IMPORTANCE and VALUE, EXCEEDING ONE THOU SAND ACRES of EXCELLENT LAND in the HIGHEST POSSIBLE STATE of CULTIVATION, with ALTON HA L L, a GENTLEMANLY ABODE, PLACED in a MOST RO MANTIC SITUATION, EXTENSIVE GARDENS, LAWN, and PLEASURE-GROUNDS, ALTOGETHER ONE of the BEST ESTATES for SPORTING THROUGHOUT ENG. LAND, WITHIN FOUR SHORT HOURS DRIVE of LON. DON; and a FAMOUS INVESTMENT for a WORTHY MEMBER of the YACHT CLUB. R. GEORGE ROBINS is favoured by the instructions of the Executors of WILLI AM DEANE, Esq., lately deceased, to OFFER to PUBLIC SALE, at the Auction Mart, London, on Tonsnav, June 18, at Twelve o'Clock, in Lots (and in pursuance of the Will it will be without reserve), a very important Freehold Property. THE ALTON HALL ESTATE AND DEMESNE, very advantageously situate 6 miles from Ipswich, 14 from Col chester Terminus, and only separated from THE PORT OF HARWICH by the ornamental river Stour. By the way, it is well to notice an on dit very prevalent in Suffolk THAT ONE OF THE SEATS FOR THIS TOWN Is In reserve for the next Proprietor of Alton Hall. In describing this estate, it is not easy to know where to begin ; it is so fruitful in its advantages that a little judgment is required to make them all manifest in such a confined space. First and foremost requiring our consideration, is "the gentlemanly abode ;" it is of a character to render it suitable to a gentleman who would prefer comfort to outward splendour; but it is not without the capability to put on another character, and to soar very high, with out encountering a serious outlay ; and the situation is so beauteous that no one would hesitate in its adoption. It is on an elevated position, approached by an AVENUE OF VENERABLE OAKS; the grounds are delightfully irregular, with hill and dale and dells and precipices, without termination, varied by the meander ing of a streamlet, and the waters may be rendered quite orna mental at a trifling cost ; wiih THE WOODLAND SCENERY WHICH IS QUITE BEAUTIFUL in every direction—a little army of thorns, contrasted with an infinity of ever-green oaks, are seen contending for the ascendancy. The plantations which screen the abode are very extensive and luxuriant beyond measure. The gardens are fully competent to be independent of the expense of Covent-garden market, with THE CONSERVATORY, HOT-HOUSE, cucumber and melon beds ; and a pretty Dutch garden mutt not be overlooked in this concise but imperfect detail. Next in suc cession it will be essential to point out the nature and extent of this el . gible investment. First, there is a very comfortable WATER CORN-MILL entirely shut out of view, with a cozy habitation, and 20 acres of capital land, with the jolly Miller, Ranson, a very superior tenant, who contributes his low rent (1101. a.year) to " the ways and mea ns." The supply of water is never exhausted. THE ENTIRE DOMAIN EXCEEDS ONE THOUSAND AND TWENTY ACRES OF superior Land, and it will be confirmed that it is in thriving condi tion when the reader is told that Mr. Deanes and his worthy fa mily have located upon it over a period extending to nearly a cen. tury. Around the house, and to form the first lot, is 520 ACRES, entirely within a ring fence, adapted to wheat and barley, with plenty of good turnip land, and a superior residence for a bailiff, and all the concomitants in the shape of farm buildings, extending nearly to the LITTLE RURAL VILLAGE OF STUTTON, with coach-houses and good stabling, with every essential out-door office. Next in succession is ARIVABTON AND HARKSTEAD, TWO FARMS ACCOUNTED QUITE EQUAL TO ANY THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE COUNTRY; i and this observation is made advisedly, inasmuch as they have always been DENOMINATED PLEASURE FARMS, to which term they have pleaded guilty, rather than be only a source of profit. Arivarton Farm has a residence upon it, tkat would be very captivating in the eye of a sporting gentleman. AS A SHOOTING BOX, it would have no rival ; and one of the great attributes to THIS DISTI.NGUISTIED PROPERTY, is, that it soars very high for the quantity of fame. It is sun. rounded by THE ARCHDEACON BERNERS, who preserves his game very strictly; and Alton Hall necessarily partakes considerably front the immensity of birds that resort to the woods. The quantity killed annually would produce a large in come. A navigable river runs parallel with these two farms for a mile and a half, and extends to the sea. IT HAS A CAPITAL QUAY and a Pier, and all the appurtenances necessary to put on board all the produce for the London market, gaining the highest prices and shipped at a trifling expense. This alone increases the value of the land ss. an acre, but the soil is so fertile that it grows splendid Wheat and Barley, and the appearance of an immense flock of Sheep proves its superiority as Turnip Land; but this is a story only half told. THE BULLOCKS FATTED ON THIS LAND remove all doubts of its quality. At this present writing are a dozen ready for their projected journey to Smithfield, where they must bear the palm, although they have got fat on the turnips alone, never having been indulged, even by way of a bon bouche, with the sight of oil cake or corn. This is incontrovertible proof, as strong as Holy Writ, that the Rental will exceed FORTY SHILLINGS PER ACRE. THE TITHE IS WELL COMMUTED, AND ALL THE OUTGOINGS EXCEEDINGLY MODERATE. It is quite refreshing, as the eye wanders over this large tract of fine land, to see how the fields absolutely groan with the quantity of manure, and a little host of dunghills to replace the bygone season, and it must be remembered that it is of the best sort that London can produce. These Farms are about four miles from the Hall, with a capital road lo them. The estimated v.,lue of the whole Estate, with the Mill, but independently of the Game, ap. proaches TWO THOUSAND POUNDS A-YEAR ; and now, by way of conclusion, let the holder of THREE PER CENTS., ALREADY BEYOND PAR, remember the memorable declaration of Sir Robert Peel, in this Session of Parliament, " I neither have, nor do I contemplate any change whatever in the Corn-laws." And when he has digested this cheering fact, let him dispassionately debate in his own mind upon the unequivocal superiority that 3e.nd to the very, very un h ea l t h y pr i ce o f tie now presents as opposed Funds. The neighbourhood is highly respectable and prone to good fel. lowship. There are three pews in the Churth, with a faculty for two of them, and the late excellent proprietor was for half a century se quested to continue churchwarden. There are four very good Cot tages for the labourers. Mr. Robins could easily lengthen this moderated detail, but he is inclined to believe enough is promised to incline the fundholder to transfer some of his uncertain stock into "Terra Firma."

The Estates are in the parishes of Yatton, Cengresbury, Neilsen, Kingston, Seamour, Kenn, and Worle. they have been di viJed and arranged into Lots with excellent judgment and the most thorough local knowledge. Mr. Robins having made his survey of the property, has the greatest satisfaction in inviting capitalists to an inspection of the many desirable investments which it offers. The first and most important Lot is THE CLEEVE COURT ESTATE, WITH ITS ELEGANT MANSION, f which possession may be had, seated on a rising ground em. bosomed in the most luxuriant and delightful pleasure-grounds, exteading to three acres, ADORNED WITH STATELY TIMBER TREES, giving theappearance of " One Continued Park," whilst the position of the residence is such as to command not only its entire domain but a most extensive view, including the new church of Cleeve, and :he more ancient one at Yatton. The exterior of the mansion is of a pleasing character, partaking of the time of the sixteenth century, although of modern erection; within the most com plete family accommodation is offered, indeed an abode possessing more of real comfo.t cannot be imagined. There are ample offices, kitchen and flower.gardens, the boundary of the property being the high road on one side, and on the other it reaches to CLEEVE TOOT, A STUPENDOUS CRAG, which is seen in singular contrast with the woods, from all parts of this extensive vale. It is also in the immediate vicinity of those TRULY PICTURESQUE AND SEQUESTERED DELLS, THE BROCKLEY COOMBE AND GOBLIN COOMBE, objects of considerable natural beauty, forming, as if by some freak of Nature, extensive valleys, adorned by rich and luxuriant planta tions, extending for many miles along forest glades, with drives of the most diversified and lovely description; and ever and anon beautiful knolls of velvet turf are seen, which to the mind's eye pourtray THOSE VERY SYLVAN SCENES OUR IMMORTAL BARD SO VIVIDLY DESCRIBES FOR THE MEETING OF OBERON AND TITANIA, IN HIS " MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM." Attached to the mansion are very complete out•offices and farm. buildings ; THE DOMAIN OF CLEEVE COURT INCLUDES 260 ACRES, with some of the richest Grazing Lind, two excellent Farm Re sidences and suitable Buildings, EXTENDING TO HENLEY WOOD AND CADBURY HILL, a most extensive and luxuriant sheep walk, opposite to which there is a site for a Villa, and from the summit, where in days of yore a Roman camp was formed, the most glorious and diversified panoramic scene is presented, includ. ing the whole of the luxuriant North Valley, with the Bristol Channel, and its moving scenery, whilst in the distance the e y e reaches the Ckedder, Monmouthshire, and Glamorganshire Hills. To a gentleman inclined to Field Sports this property is peculiarly suited, excellent Shoeting and Fishing may be ob. tained, and to a Family its proximity to THE RAPIDLY IMPROVING WATERING-PLACES OF WESTON-SUPER-MARE AND CLEVEDON, which are now in conjunction with this property, within five hotArx of the Metropolis, offer their attractions to while away an rine hour. This Property abounds in Lime Stone, and with it will be included all the importance of THE MANOR OF YATTON, with its privileges, several Leaseho'ders, and the Chapel of St. James, or one-third of one of the aisles of the Parish Church The Second Lot presents A PRETTY COTTAGE ORNEE, pleasantly situate in the road leading from Bristol to Weston. super_ Mare, not far distant from Clceve Court and the Clevedon. road Station ; it includes SIXTY ACRES OE THE RICHEST DAIRY LAND, to a Bristol Tradesman seeking to increase his health and years, a more pleasant retirement from the daily avocations of business cannot be imagined. THE FOUR CLAVERHAM FARMS, each with capital Homesteads, useful Farm Buildings, and most prolific and valuable Orchards, comprising, respectively, 226 Acres, 135 Acres, 41 Acres, and 126 Acres, occupied by Mr. Henry Beakes, Mrs. Manning, Mr. Gregory, and Mr. Mul ford, may unquestionably be pronounced Four of the most desirable Farms in this district, in which there is a Quakers' Meeting House. Proceeding from thence around by the Village of Yatton not far distant from the Church, is A VERY COMPACT EST ARM ATE CALLED CADBURY F. An excellent Farm-house, with 22 Acres of particularly rich Land, occupied by the Misses Gregory; and on the Clevedon-road are TWO EXCELLENT DAIRY FARMS, of 158 Acres, and 92 Acres, occupied by Mr. John Lyon, and Mr. Arthur Beakes, the former possessing a newly built Resi dence, with excellent buildings, and the other a very comfortable House and Buildings, called the Mill Hay Farm. Proceeding from thence to THE NAILSEA COURT FARM, _ _ of 155 Acres of the richest Dairy Land, situate a short distanc• from the Station, with AN ANCIENT MANORIAL HOUSE, commanding an extensive and beautiful prospect, extending to the Brockley Hills, and containing a noble Hall and many ChaMbers, and the exterior being of the style of architecture of the 16th Cen. tury, would seem to invite some man of taste to restore it to its original quaintness. There arc many useful Buildings attached to this Farm,besides three Walled Gardens. Under this Property COAL ABOUNDS TO AN IMMENSE EXTENT. Also a small Farm of 55 acres, part being in the Salt Marshes, in the parish of Yatton, in the occupation of Mr. James Gage. There is also a Farm in the parish of Worle, comprising 112 ACRES OF EXCELLENT SHEEP WALK, besides several closes of Meadow Land, presenting to local buyers unusually attractive Lots. The properties are all in the occupation of Yearly Tenants. Printed Particulars, fully descriptive of tkis extensive property, with Lithographic Plans, and a Sketch of Cleeve Court, may be had at Is. each, twenty-eight days prior to the Sale, at the Hotel at the Clevedon.road Station, where every information to view the property can be obtained; •also of John Baker, Esq., Solicitor, Aldwick Court, Wringtrn ; John Jones, Esq., solicisor, Nausea; at the White Lion Commercial Sale Rooms, and Mr. Daniel Harwood, land surveyor, Bristol; New London Inn, Exeter ; White Hart, Bath ; Royal Hotel, Cheltenham ; and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent-garde VAUXHALL-GARDENS ; its REVIVAL at CREMORNE HOUSE, THE STADIUM, CHELSEA, on a GRAND SCALE, UNITING MUCH THAT BY-GONE TIMES HAL) NOT EVEN DREAM I' OF. alit. , GEORGE ROBINS is instructed by the p Tie i tortoSEL on i t , h by PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction i . ,t next CREMORNE HOUSE, CHELSEA, WITH ITS FASCINATING AND BEAUTIFULLY ORNAMENTED GROUNDS, on the bank of the River. This far.famed place of entertainment Is offered most opportunely to spirited individuals. Vauxhall-gardens have ceased to exist. They did not move with sufficient judgment or activity, and consequently felt a victim; but a discerning public will necessarily require, and immediately A MORE PERFECT VAUXHALL, comhinins advantages that were entirely overlooked at the old spot, and avoiding the manifest imperfections, so often, and at I , st so fatally predicted, to that of the old school. THE MARCH OF IMPROVEMENT, progressing at a railway pace, from the new Palace towards the once favoured abode of LORD AND LADY CREMORNE warrants the fearless assertion that a spirited individual, with a moderate capital, and 'an observing and reflecting mind, must soon realise a large fortune; if he possess but tact and can beget novelty, he will leave no feeling:of lament that the purified spirit of old Vauxhall has risen in a more fashionable region. During this month, THREE GALA DAYS have delighted thousands of visitors, and put an enormous gain into the pocket of the spirited in dividual who oris;inated it The letting of the Grounds for public or private fetes, flower-shows, dc., will proceed without interruption, and occasionally also ARCHERY COMPETITION AND RIFLE MATCHES, for which, grounds set apart offer ranges up to 300 yards. Mr. Robins would enlist the capitalist and speculator to bear in mind that a SPLENDID INDEPENDENCE can be reaped by skil ful management. The situation is in itself beautiful, and of daily increasing importance. THE ELEGANT MANSION has always been an object of admiration to the throngs gaily gliding on Old Father Thames on steamers in rapid succession ; its conve. niences are very perfect, including suites of chambers of noble pro portions, the five principal apartments on the ground floor commu nicating, and forming an extent of 160 feet, all beautifully deco rated ; the floors of fine oak, the doors of polished mahogany, and the windows of plate glass ; numerous sleeping chambers, and ex cellent offices. It would seem that, as AN HOTEL OF THE HIGHEST PRETENSIONS, it must here, amist the quiet retirement of umbrageous walks, wind ing through SPACIOUS AND LUXURIANT GROUNDS, extending to ten acres, ADORNED BY STATELY TIMBER TREES, aeon and lastingly secure an increasing preference from the Nobility, whilst to the necessary concomitants to carry out so pr o fi ta bl ea Man, a still wider scope will he presented by the Coir2pFiy : ,: " WEST Lss N DON RAILWAY O N " N Terni having settled the placing of not only nu of but also a very superior floating Pier, uenting Cremorne the Stadium ; whereby the thousands now req House will be swelled into as many its s t ithin forty tyards TENS OF THOUSAN DS AT whilst the renewal from time to time of the ExciseTHELuEcAenSTse,s, and es.

It also makes a tureen of mock turtle not distinguishable from the real, at one-tenth the usual expense; and with grie, poultry, and made dishes, it is infinitely more deliciou s than anything that ever yet app eared on an Eng lish table.

THE WEATHER IN WARWICKSHIRE.—The weather has, during the last few days, become somewhat more genial, though as yet we have nothing to boast of. A few gentle showers have kindly visited us, penetrating the earth to the depth of about an inch, and vegetation expresses its thank fulness for the much-needed refreshment by assuming a livelier hue. The wind, however, continues for the most part in the north, veering sometimes towards the cast, and some times towards the west, but stopping nowhere save in the quarter least desired.—Birmingham Advertiser. THE WEATHER IN DERBYSIIIRE.—FOr several days past the weather has more resembled winter than summer. The temperature is excessively cold, with strong breezes from N.N.E. On Monday night a little rain fell, but utterly in ! adequate to what is wanted, as the fields and gardens are suffering considerably. THE WEATHER IN THE PEAK.—In the romantic but ele vated portion of our county, known as the High Peak, there has been a complete return from the warm and genial tem perature usually appertaining to May, to the severity of winter. During . the last seven days a biting north and north-east wind has prevailed, accompanied by rain, hail, and snow. A gentleman who slept at Youlgreave (in the direction of Buxton) assures us that on Thursday morning the glass of his bed-room window was completely obscured by the frozen moisture, in a similar manner to that which is commonly observed during the severest portion of winter; and, even in the mild and sheltered valley of Matlock, a few flakes of snow were observed on Saturday to fall during a shower of rain.—Derby Mercury. STATE OF THE CHOPS IN KFNT.—Agricultural report* are frequently composed chiefly from observations on the weather and changes of the barometer, and are often con- Odered as dry and uninteresting by newspaper readers. The present will form no exception, and cannot be more accu rately expressed than by transcribing from the index the term " very dry," for certainly, within the period " whereof the memory of man is not to the contrary," there has not been experienced, at a corresponding season of the year, such a continued and (it may be said) so serious a drought. The land has often been in a drier state, but this has been at a later period of the year, when the crops had taken deeper root, and therefore enabled to keep alive, if not to make growth ; but now many crops are completely scorched down " root and rind," to the bottom. The wheats seldom stiffer from want of moisture in this district, but they are now hoisting the - yellow flag of distress, and the yield must be short, both in grain and straw. The barleys are suffering severely. Where sown late they have had no chance to vegetate. Oats the same ; and in many instances the sowing has been postponed, from the stubborn state of the land, and must be abandoned for this season altogether. The clovers, which at the beginning of March were unusually good, are in many instances com pletely scorched and destroyed ; even en the strong clay soils the land is so cracked in all directions that the crops cannot stand. The grass, both in the meadow and pastures, is look ing very unpromising, and the crops of hay must be short. The hop-bine is growing fast and looking well. Fruit is also showing a good blossom, especially cherries and apples ; there are here and there appearances of blight, but this is by no means general or extensive. The lambing season has proved the most prosperous ever remembered by the oldest shepherds; the fall in Romney-marsh, and indeed through , out the whole district, has been numerous, and the weather ! continues so fine that they have thrived rapidly on a compara tively small portion of food. The meat markets remain dull, and the prices are not satisfactory nor remunerating to the graziers. The corn markets are steady, with a slight inclina tion upwards. Labour is scarce, and many hands unemployed,, for even the weeds have ceased to grow.—Kentish Observer. GREAT CHORAL MEETING IN EXETER HALL. The members of Mr. Hullah's classes, to the number of 2,000, met on Thursday in Exeter Hall. The choral perform ances took place under the direction of Mr. Hullakhimself. The pieces selected were performed with great steadiness and accuracy, and the improvement on the earlier perform ances of this many-voiced choir was marked. " Hark, the lark at heaven's gate sings," an air admirably 'adapted to illustrate the character of Wilhem's method; was excellently given, and was, of course, encored. The- " Like to grass," by Jules Benedict, was admirably given. The talented composer was himself present, and the enthusiastic manner in which he was received was A deserved tribute to his merits as a most talented musician, and a very worthy man. Horsley's " Hay maker's Glee" was beautifully sung, and never was " Rule Britannia" given with greater effect than it was last evening. The performances of last evening are an additional proof of the soundness of Wilhem's priaciples, and of the admirable method in which those prin cip'es are carried out by Mr. Hullah. The hall was crowded. Among the fashionable and distinguished visitors on the platform, we observed the family of his Grace the Duke of Sutherland, tlfe Right - Rev. the Lord Bishop of Norwich, the Marquis of Cholmondeley, Marquis of Kildare, Earl of Gal loway, Lord Cloncurry, Lord Sondes, Lord Adare, Captain and the Misses Codrington, Hon. R. Cavendish, Hon. Lady Cockerel], Hon. Mrs. Ruahout, Hon. Walter Ponsonby, Lady Manners, Lady Fanny Howard, Lady C. Douglas, Ladv Campbell, Lady Elizabeth Clements, Lady Masses - , J. P. Kay Shuttleworth, Esq., Mrs. Davenport ; - Donald M'Lean, Esq., M.P. ; Dr. Todd, Captain Codrington, Horsley, Mus. Bac. A numerous body of the clergy, from all parts of the country, were likewise present. FATAL ACCIDENT FROM GUNPOWDER.—ThUIidiIy Mr. Baker held an inquest at the London Hospital, on the body of Edward Bardwell, aged 19, assistant to a maker of fireworks, named Clitherow, living in Weaver-street, Beth nal-green. Mr. Clitherow stated that on the 7th inst. de ceased was engaged in bruising some damp gunpowder in art iron mortar, having its bottom lined with lead. He had put in the mortar half a pound of powder, though he had been ordered to bruise only very small quantities at a time. 'Witness, hearing a sudden explosion, ran into a shed in the yard in which deceased was at work, and found him lying on his back dreadfully burned on the face and the upper part of his person, and his clothes, as well as the shed, on fire. The flames having been extinguished, deceased was taken immediately to that hospital. Deceased's father said that his son told him that he was bruising some combustible com position with a pestle and mortar, when attrition, caused by some species of grit, produced the explosion. Mr. J. Maskew, house-surgeon, said he saw deceased on his admission, and he was severely burned in the face, neck, and arms. The usual remedies were applied without effect, and deceased gradually sank, and died on Sunday last.—Verdict,' Accidental Death. Qn Wednesday night Lady Peel held an assembly at the family residence, in Whitehall-gardens. The Prernier's mansion was crowded to excess, for there were above six hundred personages of rank and distinction present. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge; at tended by Baron Knesebeck and Baroness Ahlefeldt, came from the Ancient Concert about half- past eleven, to honour her Ladyship by their company. The royal visitors remained for nearly an hour. When retiring from the saloon, Sir Robert and Lady Peel accompanied their illustrious guests to their carriage. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON EPSOM DOWNB.-.-011 Wednesday night last, between 8 and 9 o'clock, an accident of a most frightful nature occurred to two gentlemen, who were driving in a gig over Epsom Downs, in the direction of London. It appears that the gentlemen, whose names we understand to be Beaumont and Cox,_ and who reside at MIT, in Yorkshire, were desirous , after the Derby race was over, of driving over the downs, and having gone rather farther away than was considered safe, they drove towards London at a pretty brisk pace • but had not, however, proceededmore than half a mile on the road, when the horse took friipt at some trifling noise, and started off at a fearful rate, precipi tating the younger of the two (Mr. Cox) with fearful violence to the ground. Mr. Beaumont, who was driving, kept his seat until the horse, suddenly turning round short in a diffe rent direction, upset the gig, and threw him out with still greater violence. Mr. Cox, who soon recovered from the shock, went in quest of his friend, whom he found a short distance off; lying underneath the gig in an insensible state, bleeding profusely from a wound in the head. He imme diately went to seek for assistance, and, after a short delay, Mr. Beaumont was conveyed to Epsom, when medical aid being procured, it was discovered that the severe injuries he had received would prevent him being removed , and he no, lies there without the slightest hope being entertained of his recovery. Up to yesterday afternoon no tidings had been heard of the horse. dis t; LYCEUM THEATRE.—The following -nr • hod s persons have visited this theatre dur in g the wee The Duke of Leeds, Marquis of Worcester, the Earl and Conntess Beauchamp, Earl and Countess of Weinyss, Viscount and Viscountess Canning, Countess o f A y lesbury, Ladies Eliza beth.

An inquest was held on Thursday at the Town of Whitby public-house in Wapping-wall, Lower Shadwell, befOre Mr. Baker, Coroner, and a jury, on the body of Luke Williams, aged fifty-eight, late landlord of the Chequers. The me dical evidence given before Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Norton, at the Thames-police Court, on the examination of the six prisoners charged with the robbery and murder of the de ceased, was repeated, and Ash, the mother of Mary Ann Ash and Rosetta Bragger, now in custody, was likewise AT.- amined. Sufficient was elicited from her to prove that. Wil liams had been robbed in the house, of which her daughters, Nicholson, the milkman, and Richard Bragger, the husband of Rosetta Bragger, were the inmates ; that the deceased complained of his loss, and that he was ill-used by notated, the coal-whipper, and carried home in a state of insensibility. At the conclusion of this woman's testimony Mr. Baker again adjourned the inquest until Monday next. THE CALEDONIAN BALL.—The several members of our Royal family have been invited by the ladies patronesses to honour this charitable ball by their presence. The Duke of Wellington, who for a long series of year s has dignified the ball by his attendance, and all the Foreign Ministers and their ladies, have likewise been invited, and no doubtl be present. The Duchess of Sutherland, Duchess of Norfolk, Duchess of Roxburghe, Countess of Powis, Countess of Rose bery, Countess of Kinnoull, Lady Saltoun, Lady Emily Fo ley, and many of the ladies patronesses, _met by appointment on Tuesday, and the result o f the conference was that an additional issue of vouchers was made, as the demand for the entree has been so great as to exceed, by some three hundred, the applications of some previous years. Two bands are engaged, and a consi derable number of flowers; plants, a nd exotics are to be supp lied for the decoration in the ante, waiting, and ball rooms. COMPETING RAILWAYS TO EPSOM.—THE 'ATMO.• SPHERIC Rmr,wn.y.—Thursday, a Committee of the House of Commons (Lord Howiek in the chair) decided upon I granting the Croydon Company's branch railway tb Epsom, ; and on rejecting that of the rival Company, the South ; Western. The great characteristic of this protracted con test is, that the Croydon Company propose to lav down a line from Epsom to London (a length of twenty-one miles) on the atmospheric system. Mr. William Cubitt, Mr. Brunel, Mr. Samuda, Mr. Barry Gibbons, and other eminent engineers, were examined for the atmospheric plan, and Kr. Robert Stephenson against it. The subject has excited much inte rest in the scientific world; and the committee-room has been crowded daily, • AT LEATHERHEAD, A DELIGHTFUL ABODE, IN THE CENTRE OF THE TOWN, AND EXTENSIVE GARDENS AND GROUNDS IN THE REAR, BEAUTIFULLY LAID OUT, AND A PADDOCK OF THREE ACRES; THREE MILES FROM EPSOM RACES. - GEORGE ROBINS will SELL by I- AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 20th of June, at Twelve o'clock; The admired FREEHOLD PROPERTY of the late COLONEL SPICER, deceased. It comprehends what has always been called "the Mansion," lout it really does not pretend to such a mark of distinction. It is A DELIGHTFUL VILLA ABODE, with every accommodation for a snug family; but, in accordance with Mr. Robins's invariable practice, he must state that the hand of an artiste, to renovate the interior, will be accounted essential, and the SPLENDID SCENE THAT OPENS ON THE REAR is so perfectly beautiful that an oUlay of 2001. or 300/. will be encountered without a murmur. The residence is in the centre of the town, shut out from the public gaze by a full-grown plantation, Sze. It is full of comfort, and a gentleman whose income extends to 1,000/. or 2,000/. a year will have no serious difficulty to en. counter in distributing it at Leatherhead. The gardens and grounds are disposed in unusually good taste; there is an undula. lation throughout, that materially aids the landscape ; an English and French garden; green houses ; plantations of luxuriant growth and great beauty, adorned by a large fish pond, and extending to THE RIVER MOLE, full of fish ; and the enjoyment attained within this little demesne; THE ROCK WORK, GROTTOS, AND SUMMER HOUSE tend to vary and enliven the scene, and the lawn is resplendent in shrubs and flowering plants, ornamented by a conservatory of some extent; Indeed, MULTIIM IN PARVO should be the motto appealed to this little freehold. The stabling and coach houses in a large court-yard are abundant; indeed, there appears no lack of anything conducive to comfort. Imme diately in front of the abode is A RICH MEADOW OF THREE ACRES, which approaches THE VENERABLE CHURCH AT LEATHERHEAD, and affords a capital frontage to erect three or four villas with great advantage.
