THE BEILBY GRANGE ESTATE, NEAR TO WE THERBY, AND CONTEMPORANEOUS IN FAME WITH ITS NEIGHBOURING RIVAL, THE RIB STON HALL PROPERTY. VTR. GEORGE ROBINS has been honoured by the 111. instructions of LORD WENLOCK to OFFER for SALE by PUBLIC COMPET lON, at the Auction Mart, London, in the month of Mdy, THE BEILBY GRANGE lIATATE, which has numbered more than two ceituries in the family of the present worthy possessor; together with THE MANOR OF MICKLETHWAITE, the fishery abounding in salmon and trout, and about ONE THOUSAND ACRES OF CAPITAL LAND. As it is intended to go infinitely more into detail shortly, the present will be considered as partaking only of a slight glance at a few of the leading advantages connected with this renowned property. Beilby Grange Hall approximates upon the respectable market town of Wetherby. and is quite equal, and seems especially adapted to accommodate THE M.P. FOR THE COUNTY. „ . Its approach, by a lodge of pleasing design, is from the high London, Edinburgh, and Glasgow road, through a finely-wooded park. It is erected of stone, and is accounted, for its size, one of the most imposing buildings of the vicinity, and, in point of style and comfort, greatly exceeds the pre tensions of the generality of houses in Yorkshire. The gardens are all capital, with hot-houses and a conservatory ; the pleasure grounds disposed in admirable taste, with ro mantic walks progressing through the hanging woods by the side of the beauteous river. It is within this scene of delight that CHRISTOPHER WILSON, ESQ., the Father of the Turf, has luxuriated during a very long period, though the house is not too large for the views of a moderate family. The rental is nearly TWO THOUSAND POUNDS A-YEAR, exclusive of the manor, the fishery, and the value of its waters ; and it is paid without a murmur by a responsible tenantry. It is in the midst of field sports, and Lord Hare wood's and three other packs of fox-hounds. THE ANCIENT CITY OF YORK IS WITHIN FOURTEEN MILES, . . . . . _ and its majestic Minster, towering high, is seen for many miles around. The mansion, it may be remarked, has been erected at an expense approaching £29,000, and the offices are equal to any throughout the county. The River Wharfe adjoins the property for three miles, and the value of the water for machinery and mills is great beyond calculation ; it is navigable to within five miles. and the York and North Midland Railway, only seven miles off, will,be completed in twelve months, and then the distance from Beilby Grange to' the metropolis of London will be accomplished in ten hours. Mr. Robins feels, however, he is exceeding the limit he originally prescribed to himself for a short address, and will conclude by an assurance, that for its extent, capability, and the quality of the soil, it will not yield to any contemporary through Yorkshire ; and this observation is made advisedly, Mr. R. having just had the gratification of making his personal survey. It ought to be kept in mind by all those who incline to a high rate of interest, that as the larger portion of the grass land adjoins the river, commencing from THE BRIDGE AT WETHERBY, to Collingham, it would be let to build upon at exceedingly high prices. The result of the sale of THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE'S PROPERTY, when he alienated the town of Wetherby, renders this a mat te, or l'ht great pardon trf the CP pr:rty IS TITHE-FREE, & THE LAND TAX REDEEMED. Particulars are in preparation, and will be ready simul taneously with the enlarged advertisement in March ; in the meantime Mr. Robins will be but too happy to afford any additional information to those capitalists who may be dis posed to pay him a visit. Covent-garden, January. IN SOUTH AMERICA. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has received i ns t ruc ti o • !f rom a leading mercantile house to SELL, by P VATE TREATY, a considerable TRACT of LAND in e STATE OF VENEZUELA, IN SOUTH AMERICA. He would earnestly entreat those capitalist: ho are disposed to embark in foreign land, or those who m uld emigrate, to weigh well the favourable opportunity which is furnished by this sale ; firstly, as it regards the great liberality in respect to price for the property, and accommodation in the payment of it. This alone would justify even a timid speculator to enter the field of competition, and select this portion of the globe as the arena of his future operations. It is called THE HATO VIEJO ESTATE, and consists of 35 SPANISH FANEGADAS. It is situate near to the city of Valencia, and not far distant from P. Cabello, the nearest shipping port, close to the town of San Joakin, in the parish of that name, and within its jurisdiction, in the independent State or Republic of Vene zuela. The soil is especially adapted to the growth of cane, coffee, and indigo, and it is also well suited to general agri cultural purposes ' • but it is apprehended the settler's atten tion will most probably be turned to the cultivation of indigo, as there are factories and vats already erected upon the pro perty for the preparation of that plant. The growth of coffee must also of necessity be very productive. A. detailed account is just printed, and may be obtained at Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent-garden. CAUTION. MODEL OF THE BATTLE OF WATER,LOO. CAPTAIN SIBORN, finding a Model, pprforting to he represent the Battle of Waterloo, is opened for Exhibition in Liverpool, begs to Caution e Public against being entrapped by a similarity of title. he Model alluded to is a ridiculous and contemptible coup erfeit. The Model of the Battle of Waterloo, which was constructed, from survey, by order of Government, and formerly exhibited at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly, London, is now at Birming ham, and will be brought to Liverpool during the season. T HE celebrated Cordial BALM of SYRIACUM, or NATURE'S GRAND RESTORATIVE. There is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of the present day, and more particularly in those of the past century, than a general disregard to the maxims - Of prudence in regard to health and enjoyment. Hencothe vast multi tudes,, who, having acquired the portion n e nfeebled con stitution, are doomed to the class of ha al invalids. Their minds anxious, unsteady , or sluggis , and their bodies weak, the natural functions of life are discharged laboriously, with pain and difficulty. For this state of nervous derange ment, the celebrated CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM will be found to have peculiar efficacy, strengthening the lan guid system and shedding new hope on the mind. A perse verance in its use has been the happy means of relieving many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symptoms commonly denominated the NERVOUS. In such persons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, with out interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable. Its primary object is to relieve those persons who, by an immoderate indulgence in their passions, have ruined their constitutions and brought on a perfect tabis dorsalis ; or, in their way to the consummation of that deplorable malady, the affected with any of those previous symptoms that betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system, obstinate gleets, involuntary emissions, excesses, irregu larity, weakness, total impotency, barrenness. &c. But the relief the CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM ge nerally administers is not confined to these alone : the latitudinarian by birth, who has received from his parents the inheritance of a diseased and nnprolific frame—the deli cate female, whom an immured and' inactive life, together with an immoderate use of tea and other weak and watery aliments, has, without any fault of hers, brought on all the ca l am itous symptoms of a consumptive habit, and are, with-. out timely assistance, sinking into a premature grave ! Such as these, under Divine Influence, the Cordial Balm of Sy riacum will restore to the enjoyment of all the comforts of life. It is universally admired, being pleasant to the taste and smell, gently astringes the fibres of the stomach, and gives that proper tensity which a good digestion requires. To the young it will afford lasting health, strength, and spirits, in place of lassitude and debility, and to the aged and infirm it will assuredly furnish great relief and comfort, by gently and safely invigorating the system. It will not give immortality, but if it e ars the power of medicine to gild - the autumn of declining y, and calmly and serenely protract the close of life beyond its narrow span, this restorative is capable of effecting this grand desideratum. and invigorating the nervous system and The Cordial is highly e steemed in the East and W est In dies for nourishing acting as a general restorative on debilitated constitutions, arising from bilious complaints contracted in hot climates. The studious as well as the sedentary part of the community should never be without the Cordial Balm of Syriacum, which removes diseases of the head, invigorates the mind, improves the memory, and enlivens the imagination.

And filling Decayed Teeth with Mineral Marpioratunz. MONS. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect fullyry, and Inhabi nts of Liver inform the. Nobility, Gent Liver pool and its vicinity, that they have opened stablishment permanently at No. 38, SEEL-STREE T , e ht d oors f rom Berry-street. They continue to fill up the cavities of De cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, without the least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, pre venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell into a sound. and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of he breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth. Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well known that the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so affected, Mons. LE DRAY and Co. have to inform them, that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint by a single application, withckut the slightest pain. Artificial and Natural Teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or giving any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, an swering all the purposes of Mastication and Articulation, remaining perfectly secure in their places, and may be taken out and replaced by the wearer with the greatest facility,— at the following Paris charges : A single Artificial Tooth A complete Set.... A complete Set of Natural Teeth, on fine gold plate An entire Set of Natural or Terro Metal lic Teeth, highly finished, in the fi t style, with fine gold sockets, usualty charged 40 guineas Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.

This Society has been formed for the purpose of tran scribing and printing the numerous unpublished Bardic and Historical Remains, still extant in the Principality and other parts of the world, which have hitherto been allowed to con tinue in a state of obscurity, without any effective measures having been adopted to lay their contents before the public, and secure such valuable literary treasures from the various accidents to which they are liable. In addition to the gene ral decay, which from their perishable nature these venerable relics have been for ages undergoing, within a short space of time whole collections have been destroyed by fire, and of those copies distributed throughout the country, numbers which are known to have existed a few years ago are no where to be found. Besides the interest which these ancient documents pos sess, as objects of antiquarian curiosity, and as contributing to the elucidation of British History, they have claims to at tention of a far more general character, as being intimately connected with the origin and progress of modern European Literature; for it is among the legends and traditions of the Welsh that those materials are to be found, which supplied the nations of the Continent with the earliest subjects of composition, and produced those highly imaginative works, which continue to exercise so powerful an influence to the present day. A great body of Historical knowledge, from the thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries, is contained in the unpublished Writings of Wales during the wars of the Rival Roses, and at least as far down as the year 1500. From these documents, a very intimate acquaintance with the state of society during the above period may be gained. The Welsh Bards were the Chroniclers of the times in which they lived, and their Poems are chiefly addressed to the leading men of the day. Besides Poetry there is still existing•an immense collection of Prose, both Historical and Legendary. The mode of proceeding adopted by the Society is, so far as its pecuniary means admit, to procure Copies of the most important Ancient MSS. relating to Wales, and to publish the same with Notes and Illustrations, accompanied by Eng lish Translations. The Publications are to appear at such intervals as may be convenient, in Parts not exceeding Orie Guinea each Volume to Subscribers, to be paid for on de livery ; such Volumes to be sold to Non-Subscribers at an advanced Price. The Society began to make known its views in 1837, under the patronage of His late Majesty, William the Fourth, whose death for a time caused a delay in its progress, but Her present Majesty Queen Victoria, having graciously ap proved of its object, and become its Patroness, it once more appealed in 1838, to the well known patriotism and gene rosity of the British Public, for the aid necessary to accom plish its undertakings. As soon as adequate funds were pro vided, the Society commenced its labours in January, 1839, by procuring from the Library of Jesus College, Oxford, a transcript of that valuable Manuscript relating to Welsh History, called Llyfr LlandbY, or Liber Landavensis, which has since been collated with another MS. Copy of the same Work in the Hengwrt Library; it is now in the Press, and will speedily be published, accompanied by English Trans lations and Notes, by the Rev. W. J. Rees, M.A. of Casob, and illustrated with several Plates and Fac Similes. The above Work would have been long since before the Public, but for the unavoidable delay occasioned by the sudden and much lamented death of its former learned Editor, the Rev. Professor Rees. Transcripts of other valuable MSS. are in a state of forwardness, which the Society hopes, on collect ing sufficient Funds, to publish without delay. Donations and Annual Subscriptions, together with Orders for Copies of the Works, are respectfully requested to be forwarded to the Honorary Secretary, the Rev. J. Evans, Llanover Vicarage, Abergavenny. Subscribers' Names and Orders for Copies of the Works will also be received by the Publisher, W. Rees, Llandovery.

Terms may be known by applying at the Room, during the hours of its Exhibition. grID Vubitrations. In 2 vols. Bvo,with --- Eight;P ="- lates, price 55., cloth, Second Edition, TAR.

NEW BARRISTERS.—Last Hilary Term, thirty gentlemen were called to the bar at the different Inns of Court. The total number of petitions to the House of Commons praying for the discharge of the sheriffs was 34, the signa tures to which were 5641. THE PACHA'S BEARD.—The Courrier de Lyon, in a letter from Alexandria, communicates the following anecdote as being current in that city :—" An English gentleman has re cently visited this place with his family after a tour in Syria. His lady wrote to Mehemet Ali, requesting him to favour her with a lock of his hair, to be placed in a collection she was making of similar relics of illustrious men. The pacha wrote in reply that he had no hair on his head, except his beard, of which he would have sent her some portion if he could consider himself as worthy of being called an illustri ous man. He, however, afterwards made known to her that he would by his will direct his heirs to forward to her the whole of his beard after his death !" ENGLAND'S AID TO HER ALLlES.—Within twelve months from the commencement of the war, she sent over to the Spanish armies (besides £2,000,000) 150 pieces of field artil lery, 42,000 rounds of ammunition, 200,000 muskets, 61,000 swords, 79,000 pikes, 23,000,000 ball cartridges, 6,000,000 leaden balls, 15,000 barrels of gunpowder, 92,000 suits of clothing, 356,000 sets of accoutrements and pouches, 310,000 pairs of shoes, 40 tents, 250,000 yards of cloth, 10,000 sets of camp equipages, 118,000 yards of linen, 50,000 great coats, 50,000 canteens, 50,000 haversacks, with a variety of other stores, far too numerous to be recapitulated.—Maxwell's Life of Wellington. RURAL DELIGHTS IN SPRING.—How delightful in tie early spring, after the dull and tedious times of winter, when the frosts disappear, and the sunshine warms the earth and waters, to wander forth by some clear stream, to see the leaf bursting from the purple bud, to scent the odours of the bank, perfumed by the violet, and enamelled, as it were, with the primrose and the daisy; to wander upon the fresh turf, below the shade of trees, whose bright blossoms are filled with the music of the bee; and on the surface of the waters to view the gaudy flies sparkling like animated gems in the sunbeams, whilst the bright and beautiful trout is watching them from below; to hear the twittering of the water birds, who, alarmed at your approach, rapidly hide themselves be neath the flowers and leaves of the water-lily ; and as the season advances, to find all these objects changed for others of the same kind, but better and brighter, till the swallow and the trout contend, as it were, for the gaudy may-fly, and till, in pursuing your amusement (fly fishing) in the calm and balmy evening, you are serenaded by the songs of the cheer ful thrush and melodious nightingale, performing the offices of paternal love in thickets ornamented with the rose and woodbine.—Sir Ilumphry Davy's. Salmonia. taarygs4ar4les..we.J.lte. rapidly, and lasts ten months. - During thinorig perfhd the intensity ef the cold, the tempestuous state of the weather, and, more than either of these, the shortness of their days, render even the care of their flocks a difficult and often dangerous em ployment ; for, the loss of persons in quest of sheep is by no means an unusual occurrence; and on a snow-storm arising, it is absolutely necessary to collect them in hovels, built for their shelter near the farm-house. At such times it is lin possible to see or hear, for the wind surpasses in violence any idea that can be formed of it ; yet it is to this wind that the shepherd must trust as a guide. Marking its direction, be dashes into the storm : the distance to be accomplished is indeed, perhaps, short; but should he swerve from the right way, the least deviation is sure to be fatal ; and woe _to him should the wind chop in the least while on his employment such a change will inevitably seal his fate, and he will wander in the dark, till, numbed by the cold, be will fall into a sleep, which soon becomes that of death. Instances of such acci dents are not unknown even in the immediate neighbourhood of Reikiavik. About Christmas, 1834, a young woman hn prudently quitted the church alone before the service was over, with the intention of nursing a child that she had left at home. Before she had got out o the town a violent snow storm was raging, which rendered it impossible to see an inch before her. Maternal solicitude, however, overcame her fears, and she hurried on towards her house, which was not more than a quarter of a mile distant; but she lost her way, and wandered about, till becoming drowsy, she fell asleep. Upwards of one hundred persons went in quest of her for many successive days, and though the search was re peated several times during the winter, it proved unavailing till the end of the following March, when a partial thaw dis covered her corpse frozen in a sitting posture, within a few yards of her home !—Hon. A. Dillon's Minter in Iceland. MARRIED MEN IN THE ARMY.—In time of war, matri mony is a serious drawback to the soldier. Constant un easiness about the family he has left at home, when he himself is called abroad, and their anxiety for him, are painful things to think of ; his happiness and peace of mind are marred, and all his best exertions paralysed, by reflecting on his situa tion, which hinders his advancement in the service. In times of peace, when his family are around him, still there is no thing but endless scenes of trouble. He is surrounded by an interminable host of miseries, enough to wear him out. It is bad work truly in the barracks, as I have often witnessed, where the "Benedicts" are doomed to taste the ups and downs of life—the latter most prevailing ; cribbed, cabined, and confined in one small room—to say nothing of the end less jars and bickerings which arise in their society from innumerable causes. A barrack may safely be designated a mirror of life, wherein all the varieties of human character are reflected. Let them who roam about the open world, troubling themselves in vain, and wearing out their, days in shadowy pursuits, just take a survey of matters going forward within this noisy region, where they will become acquainted with the " secrets of the prison-house ;" the beings shut up in which fret and fume away their time, with fully as much anxiety as their brethren of the wider sphere they quitted. Tormenting jealousies—the pride of office—the love of rank —the overweening airs of your would-be great men, and your little-great men, with a whole catalogue of petty plaguing nuisances, invented, as if by patent, for the express purpose of driving every person of common sense from the profession. The most prolific source of jealousy was in choosing quarters. It is astonishing what an uproar was kicked up on these oc casions. After the field officers took their rooms, then came " the tug of war." Ye tender sex Boreas was a trifle to the gentlest of you. On the score of rank barrack damages were likely to arise, for the repair of which the surgeon was the only artist requisite. Then followed all the little piques and wrangling work. The lady of Major Ravelin cuts the wife of Colonel Benbow, the latter being rather tardy in returning her last visit. Mrs. Captain Pepper gets into a huff with Lieutenant Valliant's rib, for a gross infringement of polite ness, and sends her to study the " Rules of Etiquette." The paymaster's better half, is at daggers withthe doctor's sposa, because she walked before her into church. The quarter master's helpmate, in Coventry by the whole, it having been ascertained that she originally carried on her studies where a cynic of old times had thought proper to take unfurnished lodgings. In short, they are all at loggerheads, so that it would require a body equal to the Congress of Vienna, to harmonise their several polemics.—Anecdotes of 211ililary Life. THE CONTRADICTORY COUPLE.--" I do believe," he says, taking his spoon out of his glass, and tossing it on the table, " that of all the obstinate, positive, wrong-headed creatures that ever were born, you are the most so, Char lotte." •" Certainly, certainly, have it your own way, pray." You see how much /contradict you," rejoins the lady. "Of course, you didn't contradict me at dinner time. Oh, no, not you," says the gentleman. " Yes, I did," says the lady , . " Oh, you did," cries the gentleman ; "you admit that ? ' " If you call that contrdiction, I do," the lady answers ; " and I say again, Edward, that when I know you are wrong, I will contradict you. lam not your slave." " Not iny slave !" repeats the gentleman, bitterly •, " and you still mean to say that in the Blackburns' new house there are net more than fourteen doors, including the door of the wine cellar !" " I meant to say," retorts the lady, beating time with her hair brush on the palm of her hand, " that in that house there are fourteen doors, and no more." " Well, then," cries the gentleman, rising up in despair, and pacing theroom with rapid strides, "By G—, this is enough to de stroy a man's intellect, and drive him mad !" By-and-by the gentleman comes to a little, andpassing his hand gloomily across his forehead, reseats himself ,in his former chair. There is a lopg silence, -and this time the lady begins. - " I appealed to Mr. Jenkins, who sat next to me on the sofa in the drawing room during tea—" " Morgan you mean," in terrupts the gentleman. "I do not 'mean anything of the kind," answers the lady. " Now, by all that is aggravating and impossible to bear," cries the gentleman, clenching his hands and looking upwards in agony, " she is going to insist upon it that Morgan is Jenkins 1" "Do you take me for a perfect fool?" exclaims th&lady ; " do you suppose ' know one from the oth er ?D o y ou su ppose I t know " Jen kins don that the man in the bl u e coa t was Mr. Jenkins?" 1 don't in a blue coat !" cries the gentleman, with :ig t i r Jenkins in a blue coat!! a man who would suffer ra ther than wear anything but brown !"," Doyou charge me with telling an untruth ? d eman ds the lady, ' " dare to bursting into tears.
