The call on such of the Shares as have been allotted being
now in oourse of payment, the Committee, in order to facilitate
their arrangements, and to provide, as extensively as possible,
for public accommodation on the first starting of the Carriages,
hereby give notieo that they will bo happy to receive Com-

Two of the largest estates that have been in the
market throughout the season are now advertised by Mr.
George Robins to be sold on the 22d inst., first, the
Glanbrane estate, with fifty-sevenfreeht&ldfarms, a domain
of ten thousand acres, and (as Mr. Robins assures us) a
seat in the House of Commons. It is close to the market
town of Llandovery. The second is the Nantyr Hall
Estate, in Denbighshire—three thousand five hundred
acres of land, with some of the best shooting throughout
England--lots of fishing, and only fivo miles distant from
Llangollen. We infer from the lateness of the season
that these sales are the consequence of the re-action which
has decidedly taken place in landed property.
Mr. Buckland, the geologist, has received the rare
mark of distinction of being elected a member of the Insti-
tute of France.

CORONER'S INQUEST—SHOCKING CASE.—
An inquest was held before Mr. Baker, at the Cumber-
land Head, City-road, on Wednesday, upon a married
woman, aged forty-two years, named Lydia Baker, and
her infant, aged nine months. They had been found
drowned in the Regent's Canal, the deceased mother
even then pressing closely to her breast the poor. infant,
which still had the nipple in its mouth. The circum-
stance had excited much interest in the neighbourhood.
The deceased, it appeared, bad been abandoned by her hus-
band, and had for a length of time past lodged near the City..
road, and kept a mangle ; but she had latterly been very
much reduced, and would frequently have been without
food but for the kindness of her landlady, a Mrs. Sheen.
She had told the latter that her husband was improperly
intimate with his own sister, and had turned her and her
child out to perish, and reports of that nature had in conse-
quence been spread in the neighbourhood. The Jury,
after much inquiry into the melancholy case, having no
previous evidence as to how the deceased came into the
water, returned a verdict of found drowned.
Last evening a boat, containing nine individuals
was capsized in the river by the Falcon Gravesend steam-
packet, and one of them, a boy, was drowned. The others
were by great exertions rescued by the Falcon's boat.
THE EGLINTOUN TOURNAMENT.--.The She-
riff dIP Ayrshire has addressed a letter to the Earl of
Eglintoun for the purpose of informing him that should a
life be lost, or even such a wound be inflicted as would en-
danger life, it would be his indispensable duty to commit
those immediately concerned as for a capital felony. Lord
Eglintoun, in reply, states that the Tournament will cer-
tainly take place on the 28th of August, but it will be
merely a display of splendour, amusement, and hospitality,
in the style of their ancestors, and cannot possibly be pro-
ductive of danger to any who are engaged in it.
Lord Fitzroy Somerset is to have the Colonelcy
of the 43d Foot, vacant by the death of the late Lord
How den ; Lord Fitzroy is at present Colonel of the 53d
Regiment.

It is now proved to demonstration that land (to
use a Stock Exchange phrase) is up in the 'market.
Sir Belingham Graham's Estate in Yorkshire, producing,
at a rack rental, 4,4001. a year, was sold last week by
Mr. George Robins for 150,000 guineas, which is 34
years' purchase. We attended at the Auction Mart
yesterday the sale of Santon Farm, in Kent. It was by
direction of Trustees, and consequently peremptory ;
it has no particular local advantages, it is nine miles re-
moved from the City of Canterbury, and is within five
of Deal. The Estate consists of 212 Acres of Land,
including 49 acres of marsh, in the occupation of Mr.
Slater, a respectable and opulent tenant at will of forty
years' standing, at 3451. a-year. It must be observed
that out of this rental a paddock of six acres, valued
at 12/. a-year, has only a reversionary interest, subject
to two lives, of the respective ages of 45 and 49, con-
sequently the rent to be received during their joint
lives is 3331. a-year. This estate, with land-tax re-
deemed, but subject to tythe, sold for 11,190 guineas,
which is thirty-five years' purchase. There was great
competition, and Mr. Robins complimented the good
sense of his auditory by preferring terra firma to 3 per
cents. at 92.
