The residence has only been erected a few years, presenting a very imposing and " ELEGANT ELEVATION," and possessing every accommodation for a family of distinction, without being inconveniently large. Its internal decorations dis play great tact, and it is in a perfect state for immediate occupation. There are five capital bed-chambers, independent of sleeping-rooms for servants; an elegant drawing-room and library; a spacious dining-room, finished IN OAK IN THE ELIZABETHAN STYLE. . . The domestic offices are admirably arranged and well secluded. A very elegant conservatory and colonade adorn the two principal fronts.

His Lordship, be it well reme m b ere d , was, up to a certain point, an advocate and a supporte r o f th e new Bill. What ever the opinions of such a man m a y b e , t h ey deserve atten tion because he is sincere, possessing al so un d ou b ted consi deration for talent and intelligence, as well as i n t egr i ty. And what was the opening subject of Lord Sand on ' s speech on Thursday night? It was a candid avowal of the effect pro duced by " one powerful organ boldly representi ng , an d p h e constantly, vigorously, and energetically urging the evils of the existing system of poor-laws. 'There could not," said his Lordship, l 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 thatjournal," had it not, in fact, taken the pact 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:. \o labour of thought, no bodily toil, no expense has been spared, to bring the question, so far as it is now carried, to a successful issue. It boas 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 tru s t in them was not ill-founded. The declarations of most of them on the !4: hustings, and we might say the same of their speeches 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 Ministry, the Conservative party, so far as it was headed by Sir Robert Peel, was determined to adhere, in spite of intervening ex perience, to the arbitrary enactments of the Whig Bill. What, then, had we to look to? We boldly answer—to the people of England, and to ourselves. Lord Sandon's conduct upon the present occasion will =entitle - hini 10 :tire gratitade er greater body of his countrymen than he 'Maybe 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. WARWICKSHIRE. THICKTHORN HOUSE, an ELEGANT STONE-BUILT CASTELLATED MANSION,with PARK.LIKE GROUNDS, EXCEEDING 50 ACRES, close to KENILWORTH and the STATION ef the LEAMINGTON and COVENTRY RAIL. WAY, and within Four Hours of London. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed by the Proprietors to submit to PUBLIC SALE, at the Auction Mart, opposite the Bank of England, on TUESDAY, July 30, at Twelve, A most desirable FREEHOLD MANORIAL ESTATE, presenting an abode of a singularly attractive description, and an Income derivable from some of the best Land in the county. It is known as TIIICKTIIORN HOUSE, not far distant from the MAJESTIC RUINS OF KENILWORTH CASTLE, which impart a peculiar interest and charm to this famed spot, three miles only from Leamington and four from Warwick. The Mansion is newly built, and of stone, of the castellated form, seated at the extremity of A STATELY AVENUE OF ELMS 100 YEARS OLD, giving a park-like character to the property, and when seen front the road has the appearance of AN ANCIENT CHATEAU. The approach is by an arched Gothic entrance, in keeping with the Mansion, and a carriage.drive winds through the park, which appears of boundless extent, and gives an air of consequence to the domain. The residence is built on arches perfectly dry; it it abounds with comfort, and offers ample accommodation for a large family. Handsome porch entrance, with noble ball and staircase, three elegant reception.rooms, four spacious best bed chambers, and four of smaller size, with eight bed-rooms for the domestics. The offices are exellent, and commensurate with the establishment. Excellent double coach-house, stabling for six horses, all newly built; kitchen-garden, and orchard. THE LAWN AND PLEAS6RE. GROUNDS are delightfully disposed around the Mansion, with a luxuriant shrubbery and umbrageous walk on one side, nearly half a mile in length, leading to the private gate to Kenilworth. THE DOMAIN EXTENDS TO FIFTY-TWO ACRES of valuable land of a rich loamy soil, beautifully wooded, the scene around presenting a park of unusual loveliness, for which this county is so truly famed; whilst THE WOODS AND PRESERVES OF LORD LEIGH form the boundary, and offer great attraction in the sporting season, with a never-failing supply of game. The Warwickshire hounds meet in the Imrned!ate neighbourhood, and Leamington Spa is within a short drive of three miles. A small Farm a pertains to the property, with newly-built cottage, barn, and useful buildings on the opposite side of the road, and completely excluded from the view of the park. Mr. Robins having surveyed the estate, has much pleasure in recommending an early inspection of the property, which offers so many attractions for a residence, embracing, as it does, every re quisite for a country abode. The Residence can be seen by tickets only from Mr. Robins; the Estate will be shown by W. Clarke, at the Lodge entrance, and Particulars had of him ; also at the King's Arms, Kenilworth ; Craven Arms, Coventry; Warwick Arms, Warwick; of A. S.

A FREEHOLD DAIRY FARM of 61 AIRES of RICH LAND, with comfortable FARM RESIDENCE, near the Market-town of Winslow, in the occupation of a responsible Tenant, and at an old low rent of 1251. a year. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, opposite the Bank, on TUESDAY, July 30, at Twelve, A MOST COMPACT AND INVITING FREEHOLD DAIRY FARM OF SIXTY-ONE ACRES of the RICH LAND for _which this part of THE COUNTY OF BUCKS is so justly famed. It is situate one mile only from the market. town of Winslow, lying between, and communicating by excellent roads, with Aylesbury and Buckingham, and in the immediate vicinity of TIE VALE OF AYLESBURY, and within easy reach of two stations of the railway. There Is a comfortable farm residence, with excellent large dairy, horse churn, and convenient offices, including capital barn, cowhouses, fattening pens, stabling, &c. ; also two cottages, with gardens. The land is divided by excellent fences, well watered; and a more de sirable investment has seldom heen in the market. It is in the occupation of Mr. John Ridgeway; a responsible Tenant upon Lease, which expires in three years, at A LOW OLD RENT OF 1254 A-YEAR, but a considerable advance may be confidently relied on. The Farm may be viewed until the Sale; and Particulars, with Plans, had of the Tenant ; also at the Bell, Winslow ; White Hart, Buckingham ; Ocorge, Aylesbury; ofJames Clift, Esq., Solicitor, Red Lion_square; at the Auction Mart; and at Mr. George Robins's Officeti, Covent-garden. 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. qucat than architects award to modern buildings. It is within two.and.a.hilf 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, 1934. OR. 21P., WITH A ROADSIDE PUBLIC-HOUSE. The Rents, which •are most punctually paid, amount to 286/. a year. The tenants are unexceptionable, the land lies exceedingly com pact, and A STREAMLBT PASSES THROUGH IT, refreshing the meadows when it is needful. 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 prope►ty. 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-fishing. 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.

PORTSMO um, JULY 4.—The Seaflower Commando: RobiMani, 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 Sore. 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 IVaterwitch, 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. No 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 Sycce 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 dock 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 Nore 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 sea. 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 efiicieut, and give general satisfaction to their officers and Commander-m- 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 Saturdoy-, were convicted, o fi tl e e , r, o b n e e i n o g f an them e o n l w o ff a s o n c d o e n r, si f g o e n d i n t o o n gaol a f . or and fined each 1004 b u t no t b e i ng a bl e - t o p a y so h eav y a d r p th zi! e T s h i e , th a ir n d d 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 ➢ionday 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 front. the St. Vincent. PRIZE MONEY FOR TIIE CAPTURE OF SLAVERS. ABOVE 3,000/. MORE FOR THE WATERWITCH.-This noted slave-deliverer has another lot of prize-money adver tised for distribution among the flag-officers of the station, her commander (then lieutenant, now commander), J.

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 prope r ty o f Mr. Owen. The building was very extensive, having a frontage of nearly 50 feet, and 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 spread, that they had not suffi cient time to make their escape down the staircases. Fortu nately several persons were quickly at the scene, and having procured ladders, Mrs-thven 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 belogging 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 tl:at they for some time defied the utmost exertions of the firemen, and room 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 rui ns , and the valuable stock of furniture, &c., either consumed or rendered worthless by the action of the lire. SERIOUS FIRE IN WHITECHAPEL. Scarcely had the firemen succeeded in extinguishing the disastrous fire in Bermondsey, than intelligence was received of another conflagration having broken out in Whitechapel. 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.. Fryett, p awn b ro k er, carrxing on business at :No. 16, Wlntechapel-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 were car ried up the staircase, and that of the West of England Com pany was directed through the windows, and by that means the firemen were enabled to pour a vast torrent of water upon that part of the premises on fire, which extinguished the flames by half-past eleven o'clock. The damage done at this fire is very consideyble. To add to the misfortune,hu merous poor families r es idi ng i n t h e l oca li ty w i ll be deprived of the property l e ft i n th e c h arge o f M r. Fryett. The origin of:the fire, like the preceding one, is unknown. A strong body of police of the I 1 division were on the spot, and To ttered essential service, in keeping the immense crowd out of i the reach of danger, an d i n guar di ng t h e property o f th e ii:- 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 opened to view. They are erected in the best , style of street architecture, and as the whole of the new street will bc built uniformly, this will when complete be equal to any in the metropolis. The opening of the new. street presents a fine bold circus, the width of Farringdon-street. No steps have yet been taken for the clearance of the houses between West-street and Clerkenwell, and this is one of the most tardy of any of the improvements now in progress in the metcopolie, SALES BY AUCTION.

THE ESTABLISHED TEA MARKET, upon Ledgate-hill, No. S ; SIDNEY and HALL .Proprietors.—A further FALL of TWOPENCE to POURPENCE per Pound upon TEAS and COFFE . '.S. 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 are now enabled to quote the very choicest quality at a price attainable by all classes of society. The nobility, families, and large consumers of Teas and Coffees, are invited to compare the quality and prices of all goods sold at this Establishment with those of any other house in the metropolis. The beet selected qualities have invariably distinguished Sidney and Hall, and their present ex,en.sive 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 Hall 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. Sidney and Hall have therefore much satisfaction in announcing a revised scale of prices, and, confident of superior value, they invite comparison, as the most :convincing proof of cheapness and confidence. COFFEES. The Public will please 'to observe that, owing to the duty upon 1 Foreign Coffees being now only 6d per lb., whereas two years ago it was Is. 3d., we are enabled to introduce an entirely new class of Coffees to their not lce,and we feel assured that a trial is all that is requisite to ensure :.pprobation. s. d.

SIR,—In 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, which, 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. T find it thus reported :—" Why the guarantee was t , o 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 :—"Ido 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 Hon. Sir Robert Peel, on the first night (I believe) of the present session of Parlia ment, and then let the public judge between us. I copied into my announcements, and verbatim, the cheer ing remark that follows, and this " is the head and front of my offending":—" ALTHOUGH I CONSIDER IT INCONSISTENT WITH My DUTY TO MAKE EN GAGEMENTS Fun ADHERING TO EXISTING LAWS, UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, IN ORDER TO CON• CILIATE SUPPuRT, 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 ; NOT HING 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 God-send to the a gr i cu l tura l i nterest), 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 funds. 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 my 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 extending 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 Pawed. 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 year' purchase. _ _ I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, July 5. 1844.

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 fur all cutaneous impurities ; and, secondly, as an 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 attending 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 rise 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" Kalydor to some compounds of their own manufacture, of the most deleterious character, con taining mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant action endangering health. It is, therefore, imperative on purchasers to see that the words " Rowland's Kalydor" are on the wrapper. All others are fraudulent counterfeits !! ! OPENING LETTERS AT THE POST-OFFICE.—A gentleman posted a letter at Cowes, addressed to a gen tleman at Reading. It bears the Cowes post-mark of the 27th of June, and the Reading, of the 28th. The seal bears his initials as if it had never been opened, but that it had been there cannot be the shadow df a doubt, as the party in sealing_ it up, put in the wrong corners of the envelope, by which means the Cowes postmark was sealed within ;the Reading one only being outside.on that part of the envelope ! This was imme diately seen, and the cover was returned to the writer. f % l SELLING OFF, CARPETS, CHINTZES, SILK and WORSTED DAMASKS, TABOURETS, and CA BINET FURNITURE.
