" THE ACADEMUS OF PLATO,"
and to which the river Cephisus becomes the iri igating stream, as
well as to the smaller vineyard, which is allied to the abode.
Within the garden walls of Six Acres, are
PLANTATIONS OF ORANGE AND LEMON TREES,
and it must not be in erlooked, as a special gift belonging to its
produce, that

HIS MAJESTY, THE KING OF GREECE,
and his Queen—always on important occasions, when a splendid
fete is given at the Palace, prefer to have the fruit from
MR. BELL'S CELEBRATED GARDENS.
Numerous Plantations of Mulberry Trees crown and vary the
picture, and.
ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY BUTTS OF RED AND
WHITE WINE
is the fair annual produce. There is beside
CORN, WINE, AND OIL IN ABUNDANCE.
The English and French Governments are now united in their
endeavour to elevate Greece, so that it may rank high amongst
THE KINGDOMS OF IMPORTANCE;
AND THE NATIONAL BANKS
which are in progress, under the most favourable auspices, must
give a tone and character to Athens, that in its high ambition it
scarcely dared to contemplate. Properly in Greece will necessarily
be quadrupled in one or two short years by this charming prospect.
It is to be hoped, and indeed is believed, that enough has been
said to enlist the attention of those who are sensitive to the delight,
and consequently know how to appreciate

THE ARTS AND SCIENCES.
If profit be also in their "mind's eye," they will find it at
Athens to their heart's content. But there is still another class
who may, and ought to be seduced to give a serious thought
to this sale—alluding especially to those who dislike not lon.
gevity—throughout the world it would be in vain to look
for a more congenial climate. NINETY-FOUR is not accounted
OLD, and Doctors and Physic are very little in request. To those
whom ambition leads to soar above their fellow-men, theproximity to
THE COURT OF ATHENS,
and the gratification (leaving self-interest for a-moment out of con-
sideration) derivable from frequent intercourse with
"THE HIGH AND MIGHTY IN POWER,"
and the continuous Intimacy with the
" MOST REFINED OF EUROPEAN SOCIETY,"
under the paramount protection of England and France, com-
pletes a picture of which the possessor may well be envious. A plan
of the Estate and a view of the Villa, is in preparation, and may be
had 21 days anterior to the Sale, at the Jerusalem, and Lloyd's
Coffee Houses, Cornhill; the Mart; and at Mr. Robins's Offices,
London.
P.S Building is proceeding as rapidly as in England ; Foreigu-
ers may possess Freeholds on the same terms as the Greeks;
there is an English Church. All religions are tolerated, and the
Protestant Church in great favour.

COMMERCIAL BANK OF LONDON.
CAPITAL, TWO MILLIONS,
In Two Thousand Shares of 1,000/. each.
Fifty per Cent. to be paid up by Instalments if required, but
the Directors are of opinion that not more than 9.5 per cent.
will be called for for the FIRST TWO YEARS. Ten per
cent. to be paid on the allotment of the Shares.
The Directors think it right to inform their Proprietors and
the Public, that their arrangements for opening the Bank are
now in a forward state. The business of the Commercial Bank
will be conducted by three experienced Managers, acting under
the superintendence and controul of a Committee of Directors ;
and to secure the due accountability of its Officers and Clerks,
none of them will be allowed to be Shareholders.
The Commercial Bank will combine all the security. of the
Bank of England with greater accommodation and facilities.
The Directors do not propose to allow interest but by special
agreement only. Security arising from the sound principles
upon which they propose to conduct their Business, is the chief
inducement they offer to parties to connect themselves with the
Bank.
Applications for the remaining Shares addressed to the Di-
rectors, to be made to Samuel Amory, Esq., Solicitor, No. 25,
Throgmorton-street, London.

This is an establishment for nervous and mental invalids of
both sexes, conducted on highly improved moral and social
principles, and managed by a Committee of Gentlemen on a
scale of very superior comfort and elegance.
The medical department is entirely confided to an able and
experienced physician, constantly resident in the house (C. A.
Hunt, Esq., M.D. ), whilst a number of well-educated and ta-
lented persons, male and female, are conducting the moral and
social treatment of the patients, which is here carried out to an
extent never before attempted ; and with a success, even be-
yond what was ever anticipated.
Those who have visited Denham Park have admitted that no
correct idea can be formed of this establishment, except by
personal inspection, all detailed description is therefore avoided
in this advertisement, and those who have friends or relatives
requiring kind protection and constant medical care are earnestly
invited to visit Denham Park.
Prospectuses and further particulars may be had on applying

THE CITY OF ATHENS,
t embraces nearly
FOUR HUNDRED ACRES OF LAND
Within its plains, and a
•
CHATEAU AND HUNTING BOX,
WITH EXTENSIVE GARDENS,
Before Mr. Robins ventures upon his fearfully difficult task, h e
may well ask for a little forbearance with a kind public, in not
oriticising too earnestly or too severely this, his first essay as connected
with an attempt to describe a splendid estate so nearlyallied to
THE CLASSIC CITY OF ATHENS,
and so far removed from the usual sphereof his vocations—the city and
its vast renown he may safely leave to those who are well read in
the history of Greece ; his task, fortunately, is only to give. in
the language of truth, however imperfectly told, an unpretending
description of the property under review. As It would require
the pen of the immortal Byron to do it adequate justice, the
writer may be well excused for approaching it with fear and
trembling; he will however venture only at a round, on
varnished tags leaving to the imaginative powers of those who seek
such a splenitd. repose,, to fli Kkp thevast, immeasurable space, which
his feeble effort must leave unaccomplished. The Villa may be
thus succinctly described : It is suited to a family not very large,
but whose minds are embued with reminiscences of the glory of this
once lamed citY•l
" Shrine of the mighty I can it be
That this is all remains of thee ?"

WITIN TE GOVE
on the Plains of At ens, H
and from its loftyO totower commands the
MOST SPLENDID AND PICTURESQUE VIEW
OF THE ACROPOLIS AND THE CITY, -
including the Mount Hymettus, and Pentelicus, the Pirwus,
Salamis, and indeed all
THE ISLANDS OF THE IEGEAN SEA.
In contemplating this magnificent Panorama, how awfully
grand doth Nature's works appear, inclining the imagination first
to believe, and at length the senses to concur in the realization of all
those classical associations, which cannot fail to interest and encou.
rage the enterprize, and lead to researches which the march of in-
tellect has recently more than ever provoked. Oh, that the pen
of the great Bard could at this moment lend its influential aid, and
direct the one that now falters in th e vain attempt to give a moderate
portraiture of the Landscape! but this is hopeless. A short sum_
mary of a few of the minor points for consideration must suffice with
those who, while they would enjoy the Antiquities of Athens, are
not insensible to the large income that is available by this pur-
chase. It has already been noticed that the Demesne around the
City numbers
THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY ACRES,
the greater part under cultivation, in Corn, Cotton, and Maize, beside.
LARGE PLANTATIONS OF OLIVE TREES :
THE VINEYARDS AND EXTENSIVE GARDENS
are about twenty acres, walled round and planted on the celebrated
site known as
