The pleasure.grounds are extensive, planted with the choicest shrubs and ornamented by a fountain.

The domestic offices are admirably arranged and well secluded. A very elegant conservatory and colonade adorn the two principal fronts.

The CUTTIIORPE ESTATE, with a RESPECTABLE RESI DENCE, and 193 ACRES of EXCELLENT LAND, within a RING-FENCE, two.and-a-half miles from Chesterfield and the Railway Station, and one mile from the village of Newbold. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed, by the Executors of the last survivor of the elder branch of the 17/ Heathcote family (the Rev. Cornelius Heathcote Reaston Rodes), to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Angel Hotel, Chesterfield, on SATURDLY, the 20th July, at Twelve for One punctually, in One Lot, A VERY DESIRABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE, offering a capital exchange for Three per Cents. at par, to a very secure investment in a more safe and solid tenure. It will easily occur that " terra firma" is the substitute. Next to this, it is important to a purchaser to select a favourable county, superior land, respectable tenants, and (though last, not least) low tithe and poor.rates. These are a combination difficult to find merged in one property, but THE CUTTHORPE ESTATE puts in AN UNDISPUTED TITLE TO THE WHOLE. The Mansion is somewhat old-fashioned. Its antiquity will ac. count for this; but, in the olden times comfort was more in re. quest than architects award to modern buildings. It is within two-and-a-half short miles of the RESPECTABLE TOWN OF CHESTERFIELD. There are gardens and pleasure-grounds quite ample. There is a pretty terrace.walk, and a fish-pond abundantly stocked. In days of yore it was the residence of THE HEATHCOTE FAMILY, a name honoured for its great respectability, and one that does not yield in a single attribute that can adorn high character to any other throughout the kingdom. The abode possesses every ac commodation a gentleman retiring from the busy scenes of mercan. tile pursuits, or a yeoman of high standing can desire, with offices of every description. There are TWO CHIEF FARMS, 193 A. OR. 21r., WITH A ROADSIDE PUBLIC.HOUSE. The Rents, which are most punctually paid, amount to 2861. a year. The tenants are unexceptionable, the land lies exceedingly eom. pact, and A STREAMLIAT PASSES THROUGH IT, refreshing the meadows when it is needf.d. The town of Ches• terfield is a CHIEF STATION ON THE NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY. . . . . It is the best market for corn throughout the district, and all the principal fairs for cattle are held there. The turnpike.road to it and to Bakewell passes through the property. The Coal and Iron-stone under the Estate is considerable. Game may be preserved to some extent, as it joins THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE'S PRESERVES, and is not far from the Moors, where good shooting can be ob tained. The contiguous waters afford excellent trout.tishing. The country around is exceedingly picturesque, and extends to all the interesting objects of a neighbourhood distinguished by its su perior occupants, with famed Chatsworth within a short drive, and Sheffield only twelve miles off.

ADAM MURRAY and SONS have received instructions to SELL BY AUCTION, on the Premises, at Brynymor, near Swansea, on SATURQAY, the 13th day of July, 1844, at Two o'Clock (unless an acceptable offer be pre vieusly made by private contract,) The excellent FREEHOLD ESTATE, called Brynymor, comprising a capacious, gentlemanly mansion, with offices of every description, walled gardens, pleasure grounds, and about TWENTY-EIGHT ACRES of LAND, a portion of which, from the beauty of its situation, might be advantageously let as building ground, without detriment to the property. The house Is situate on the Gower Road, about one mile from the seaport town of Swansea, on a gentle eminence, overlooking the beautiful bay, and commanding views of the picturesque scenery of Oystermeuth Castle, Briton Ferry, Margarn, Newton, and St. Donat's Castle, and of the opposite side of the channel, including Minehead, Ilfracombe, and Lundy Island. It is nearly new, and substantially built of brick and stone, and contains spacious dining and drawing rooms, parlour, library, entrance-hall, and portico, eleven lofty and cheerful bed.rooms and dressing-rooms, ample cellaring, and every other convenience; stable and coach-house, all well snp_ plied with fine spring water.

THE ESTABLISHED TEA MARKET, upon Ludgate-hill, No. 8; SIDNEY and HALL ,Proprletora.—A further FALL of TWOPENCE to FOURPENCE per Pound upon TEAS and COFFE . _ We have this day lowered Coffees 2d. to 4d. per lb., in consequence of the reduced duties upon Foreign Coffees coming into operation. In the sale of the finest qualities of Coffees, we have long stood pre-emi nent as the largest purchasers in the port of London. We aro now enabled to quote the very choicest quality at a price attainable by all classes of society. Tlrioviiitoebdilittoy, comparefti the quality and prices of all goods sold at thismilies, and largo consumers of Teas and Coffees, arc it Establishment with those of any other house in the metropolis. The best selected qualities have invariably distinguished Sidney and Hall, and their present extensive sale enables them to sell at prices which can only be equalled by the largest wholesale houses. As merchants and importers of Teas direct from China, and the proprietors of several extensive businesses in London and the largest provincial towns, Sidney and Ilan flatter themselves that they pos sess facilities for really cheap selling, which few can lay claim to, and enable them to state most confidently that their establishment shall maintain its character, as being one of the first and cheapest in London. The importation of Tea is, this season, of unusually good quality ; the quantity is also considerably larger than for many previous years, and the anticipation of still larger shipments has had the effect of lowering prices almost to a level with the lowest period in the history of the tea market. iiidney and Hall have therefore much satisfaction in announcing a revised scalp of prices, and, confident of superior value, they invite comparison, as tke most :convincing proof of cheapness and confidence. COFFEES. The Public will please to observe that, owing to the duty upon Foreign Coffees being now only 6i per lb., whereas two years ago it was Is. 3d., we are enabled to introduce an entirely new class of Coffees to their not 'ce,and we feel assured that a trial is all that is rerptisite to ensure ..pprobation. s. cl.

PORTSMOUTH, JULY 4.—The Seaflower, cutter, Commander Robilliard, was taken into dock here on Saturday to undergo a thorough overhaul, and have her defects made good. The Queen, 110, Captain Sir Charles Sullivan, is in har bour dismantling. Her topgallantmasts are struck, and every preparation made for paying her off; all standing, on. Friday. The report gains ground that the crew of the Cam perdown will be turned over to her (the Queen), on her ar rival, and that the Queen will supersede the Camperdown as flag-ship at the Nore. It has also been remarked by a cer tain morning print, noted for its inaccuracy in such matters, that the Camperdown will be cut down to a 90-gun ship, the same as the Prince Regent, a first rate (120), now being razeed to a ship of that class at this port. It is true the Ad miralty contemplate cutting down that most notorious ship (Camperdown) to a two-decker, but a 90-gun ship she will not make, for at present she carries only 104 guns, and ac cording to the general ratio of such things, to remove her upper deck will take—say 30 guns, which will reduce her to a 74 ; we believe, however, she will be made to carry 80. The Waterwitch, 10 gun brig, recently built by Mr. White, of Cowes, to compete with the new class 12 gun brigs, was taken out of dock on Tuesday, to receive her masts, after which she was re-docked to complete her equipment. :co commissions have yet arrived for the experimental squadron. It is currently believed they will all be commis sioned together, when ready for sea. . . , The Sydenham, steam-sloop, Lieutenant-Commander Maple ton, having completed her repairs and alterations, and taken in fuel, sailed on Tuesday evening for Gibraltar and Malta, via Plymouth. On arrival at her destination she will relieve the Alecto, Lieutenant-Commander W. Hoseason, the Alecto having been out nearly four years. The Childers, 16, Commander G. G. Wellesley, arrived at Spithead yesterday, from China, with another million dollars in Sycee silver aboard. She saluted the Admiral, and came into harbour in the afternoon to discharge her precious freight at the Royal Dockyard. The proper authorities are down from the Treasury (we believe) to receive and forward the same to the Royal Mint. The Wanderer, 16, was dismasted yesterday, preparatory to going into clock for overhaul and repairs. The Pantaloon, 10, is nearly ready for commission to join the experimental squadron. The Camperdown, 104, Captain Martin, sailed from the Sore on Tuesday, for Spithead, with a north-west wind. The Neptune, 120, will supersede the St. Vincent as flag ship at this port, if the Queen goes to Sheerness as re ported. The Collingwood, 80, Captain Eden, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir G. F. Seymour, is still in harbour, equipping for am. She is in course of painting ' and will drop down. to Spithead next week, it is expected. She is still very deficient of hands, not from a scarcity of tars, but from the circumstance of many of them waiting for the new brigs. _ . The St. Vincent, 120, at Spithead, almost daily practises her crew at gunnery, in which they are very etlici2nt, and give general satisfaction to their officers and Commander-in- Chief. Vice-Admiral Sir John Chambers White, at Sheerness, has hoisted his flag on board the Ocean, 80, Captain Peter Fisher, during the absence of the Camperdown, and until another ship is appointed to the station. The Resistance troop-ship is in dock undergoing repairs. Two of the smugglers apprehended last week were brought up before the magistrates here on Saturday, were convicted, and fined each 1001., but not. being able to pny so heavy a tine, one of them was consigned to gaol for six, and the other, being an old offender, for nine months. The third pri soner, the gun-room steward of the Resistance, was brought up on Tuesday, but escaped through an error in the informa tion, which was drawn up by Mr. Rutherford, solicitor to the Customs, who was sent down to prosecute. The Court-martial on Lieutenant (First) B. A. Wake, late of the Pearl, which was to have taken place on board the Ocean at Sheerness on Monday, was postponed, but we believe it will take place on Friday on board the same ship, or the Poictiers. The charges are preferred by Captain Stop _ ford, late of the Pearl. The Commander-in-Chief, Sir Charles Rowley, very sud denly returned on Monday from his intended cruise among the Channel Islands in his yacht the Fanny. The gallant and much respected Admiral was attacked with sudden ill ness on the second day after he left this port, which is the cause of his premature return. His flag is again flying from the St. Vincent. ruazi: MONEY FOR THE CAPTURE OF SLAVERS. ABOVE 3,000/. MORE FOR.

The simple verification of all our reasonings, statements, and prognostications, with respect to the new poor-law, how ever flattering —a s i n t rut h i t is flattering to us—would ' not have been so to such an extent, had we not conceived that it weuld least to vast and universal good. Lord Sandon'4 speech on Thursday night is of a character to deserve special notice. His personal position, also, gives him weight, as he must be considered to represent the sentiments of a large and highly respectable portion of the Tory aristocracy of the country. His Lordship, be it well remembered, was, up to a certain point, an advocate and a supporter of the new Bill. What. ever the opinions of such a man may be, they deserve atten tion because he is sincere, possessing also undoubted consi deration for talent and intelligence, as well as integrity. And what was the opening subject of Lord Sandon's speech on Thursday night? It was a candid avowal of the effect pro duced by " one. powerful organ boldly representing, and constantly, vigorously, and energetically urging the evils of the existing system of poor-laws. There could not," said his Lordship, " have been that change which has tardily been conceded, nor would the measure have been proposed which embodied so many of the amendments (we wish our countrymen to attend to this) that had been perseveringly advocated by that journal," had it not, in fact, taken the part which it did take—" had there been no such influential organ of public opinion." It is gra tifying to us to know, on such authority, that we have ren dered services so great to our suffering countrymen—to the sons and daughters of labour, the heirs of sorrow—through out this realm. Our task has certainly been a difficult one. No labour of thought, no bodily toil, no expense has been spared, to bring the question, so far as it is now carried, to a successlul issue. It was the cause of humanity that first separated, us from the Whigs, the self-styled Reformers there were many of their preceding acts at which we hesi tated and faltered; we made some sacrifice, however, to con fidence and a predisposition to approve. But when they made this daring inroad upon humanity itself—when they gave up the whole labouring population of England, by one cruel act, as it were to misery and torment, our road was no longer the same ; we separated from them broadly. Our refuge, then, was the Conservative party—Sir Robert Peel and his associates ; and, for a while at least, they gave us reason to suppose that our trust in them was not ill-founded. The declarations of most of them on the hustings, and we might say the same of their speech - es in the House of Commons, were decidedly hostile to the new poor law; and those who harboured mischief in their hearts were generally silent.. Judge, then, how great was our surprise— how deep our sorrow—when we found that The new 4E1442 7 , the Conservative party, so far as it was headed by Sir Robert Peel, was determined to adhere, in spite of intervening ex perience, to tlfe arbitrary enactments of the Whig Bill. Ah',at, then, had we to look to? We boldly answer—to the poO e Ple of England, and to ourselves. Lord Sandon's conduct upon the present occasion will entitle him to the gratitude of a greater body of his countrymen than be may be aware of. We ourselves would sincerely thank him for the approbation which he has bestowed upon this journal for the part which it has taken on the important question under consideration. We have done all in our power to deserve the applause of honourable men like himself ; but applause does not always follow good intentions. We do, therefore, again most cor dially thank his Lordship, and hope that his efforts will, both in this and every other future measure, tend to his own ho nour and the good of his country. ----' PRICE sd. EXTENSIVE FIRES. DESTRUCTION OF GRANGE-lIOUSE, BERMONDSEY. Last night, between the hours of nine and ten, a fire of a very alarming and destructive character broke out in the premises known as Grange-house, situated in the Grange road, Bermondsey, the property of Mr. Owen. The build was very extensive, having a frontage of nearly 50 feet, ard a proportionate depth. At the time the flames burst forth Mr. Owen, with his family and servants were up, and em ployed in different parts of the premises ; but such was the rapidity with which the fire sprgad, that they had not suffi cient time to make their escape down the staircases. Fortu nately several persons were quickly at the scene, and haring procured ladders, Mrs. Owen was dragged through one of the windows, and lowered into the garden. The rest of the in mates were also rescued, and without receiving any personal injury. The parish engine, with several others belonging to the London Brigade, were remarkably quick in arriving, as was also one belonging to the West of England Company. Water was soon obtained, and the engines were set to work, but so fiercely did the flames extend that they for sow time defied the utmost exertions of the firemen, and roam after room fell a sacrifice to the most destructive of all elements, and when the roof fell in the flames rose to an immense alti tude. Towards half-past ten, owing principally to the ex haustion of all combustible material, the firemen got the complete mastery of the conflagration, but not before the premises were a mass of ruins, a n d th e va l ua bl e s t oc k of furniture, &c., either consumed or rendered worthless by the action of the fire. SERIOUS FIRE Ir WIIITECHAPEL. Scarcely had the firemen succeeded in extinguishing the disastrous fire in Bermondsey, than intelligence was received of another conflagration having broken out in Whit:chapel. Thither several of the Brigade and West of England en gines were despatched, when it was ascertained that the upper part of the spacious range of premises, belonging to Mr. h ryett, pawnbroker, earryang on business at :No. 16, Whitechapel-road, immediately opposite the church was in flames. The fire originated in the stores, amongst a valuable assortment of pledges. The parish engine was on the spot in the course of a few minutes ; but the crowd was so great, that some time elapsed before it could be got into operation, during which the fire continued to burn most fiercly, ascend ing to the floor above, and at [the same time descending .to the one below. The hose of the Brigade engines war car ried up the staircase, and that of the West Qf England eom pany was directed through the windows, aild by that means the firemen were enabled to pour a vast torrent of water , upon that part of the premises on fire, which extinguiehed the flames by half-past eleven o'clock. The damage done at this fire is very considevble. To add to the misfortune, hu merous poor families residing in the locality will be deprived of the property . left in the chime of Mr. Fryett. The ecigin of:the fire, like the preceding one, is unknown. A. stlang body of police of the 11 division were on the spot, and ren dered essential service, in keeping the immense crowd out of the reach of danger, and in guarding the property of the in. habitants. CITY IMPROVEMENTS.—The boarding at the ter minus of the extensive street from Farringdon-street to Clerkenwell has been removed several yards backwards, by which eight houses Which have been erected and are fit for occupation are aliened to view. They are erected in the best style of street architecture, and as the whole of the new street will be built uniformly, this will when complete be equal to any in the metropolis. The opening of the new stre e t. p resen t s a fine bold circus, the width of Farringdon-street. No steps have yet been taken for the clearance of the houses betaen West-street and Clerkenwell, and this is one of the molt td - roly of any of the improvements now in progress in the metropolig: PARLIAMEN TAR Y DIV ISIONS.

Sin,—ln returning to town from North Wales, after a most successful sale of land, I find that I have been honoured by some remarks from Sir Robert Peel, whioh, however complimentary they may at first appear, are still liable to misinterpretation ; and as I am indebted to the position that I enjoy in my profession from having pursued one undeviating course, I hope you will enable me to show that I have not committed myself in respect to the corn-laws. If I am not drawing too much on your valuable time and space, I would ask you to give a quotation from the speech of Mr. Gibson, M.P. for Manchester, and the reply of the Minister. I find it thus reported :—" Why the guarantee was so much relied on as to have induced a celebrated auctioneer to use it in his announcements, with a view to enhance the value of landed estates, and to assert, upon the strength of it, that the question of the corn-laws was perfectly and safely adjusted, inasmuch as capitalists might now invest their capital in land with a certainty that the existing state of things could not be disturbed." To this observation I find Sir R. Peel makes the following remark :—" I do hope, therefore, that Hon. Gentlemen will, in future, refer to my statement, and not to that authority, high though it be, whose lucubrations they may have time to peruse.—l mean Mr. George Robins, the auc tioneer." This may put on at:least an equivocal charac ter ; and, therefore, I ask you to let me quote the remarks I have made in my advertisements, from the speech of the Right Iron. Sir Robert Peel, on the first night (I believe) of the present session of Perlin- ' ment, and then let the public judge between us. I copied into my announcements, and verbatim, the cheer ing remark that follows, attl this "is the head and front of my offending":—" ALTHOUGH I CONSIDER IT INCONSISTENT WITH MY DUTY TO MAKE EN GAGEMENTS FOR ADHERING TO EXISTING LAWS, UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, IN ORDER TO CON CILIATE SUPPORT, I CAN SAY THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAVE NEVER CONTEM PLATED, AND DO NOT CONTEMPLATE, ANY ALTERATION IN THE EXISTING LAW." I have now only to ask in the intelligible language of Shakespeare, " SPEAK OF ME AS I AM ; NOTHING EXTENUATE, NOR SET DOWN AUGHT IN MA LICE." Perhaps I may be allowed to state that my anxiety to give publicity to his speech (a per fect Godsend to the agricultural interest), was mainly because a large portion of capitalists had doubted his sincerity, and this could no longer exist after such an unqualified assertion. The use and great utility of this straightforward observation, has enabled me TO SELL LAND THIS SEASON WITHOUT DIFFI CULTY, although not at a price which it is fairly en titled to, with reference to the high price of the fund.=. But last season, while so much of doubt and uncer tainty clouded the agricultural horizon, it was all but impossible to sell it at any price. In ray practice, I can aver that, during four months in last year, I had estates exceeding in value ONE MILLION POUNDS STERLING TO SELL, WITHOUT A BIDDER FOR ONE OF THEM. I apprehend this is tolerably good authority for asking Sir Robert Peel, as I certainly did, to speak out. The great benefit that the landed interest have achieved by this unequivocal and good policy, will be strengthened by a single commentary. It was only during the last week, at Llanrwst, in North Wales, I sold estates and houses, in and around the town, and exte n di ng three or four miles from it, at an average of forty years' pur chase, on a fair annual value, and this to the extent of seventy thousand guineas. I would suggest, also, that the fate of Mr. Villiers's motion to alter the corn-laws, has triumphantly put his false theory into the tomb of all the Capulets, there to rest sine die. It is to the memor able declaration above quoted this victory may be traced. I crave your indulgence for this lengthened explanation, and to add that I trust the consequence will be, that the UNSOLD MILLION I have alluded to in last season will now find plenty of competitors at thirty years' purchase. I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, July 5. 1844. GEORGE ROBINS. PROMISSORY NOTES.

PLEASING RESULTS.—With the gaiety assumed by nature in the brightness of the summer season there are few disinclined to participate; and in pursuit of those rational enjoyments personal agremens, in all their variety, are necessarily objects of desire—those, of which the perfection and durability are at once obvious and important, meet their most available preservative in Gowland's Lotion ; first, as a decided remedy for all cutaneous impurities ; and, secondly, as asi elegant, mild, and effective appendage to the toilet, removing every species of local discolouration, defending the skin from all the well-known effects of heat upon its surface, and as contributing largely to continued delicacy and fresh ness of the complexion. Ladies travelling, or temporarily subjected to any deviation of equable temperature, will find. in Rowland's Kalydor a renovating and refreshing auxiliary, dispel ling the cloud of langour from the complexion, and • immediately affording the pleasing sensation attendin g restored elasticity of the skin. The distressing and unsightly varieties of cutaneous eruptions are also promptly eradicated by the Kalydor. Spots, pimples, freckles, discolourations, and sallowness, yield to its specific qualities, and are succeeded by a smoothness and transparency of the skin, giving nose to sensations ,of the utmost pleasure and surprise. Being universally preferred, its consequent great demand excites the cupidity of unprincipled shopkeepers, who give the title, of - " Genuine" Daly or to some compound s o f t h e i r own manufacture, of the most deleterious character, con taining mineral astringents utterly ruin ous t o th e complexion, . and by their repellant acti on en d anger i ng health. It is, therefore, imperative on purchasers to see that the words " Rowland's Kalydor" are on the wrapper. All others are fraudulent counterfeits !! !
