CAPITAL FREEHOLD, COPYHOLD, and LEASEHOLD
INVESTMENTS, producing at Low Rents, 6001. a-year,
By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the Auction Mart, on TUESDAY, the 25th of June, at Twelve
o'Clock, in Lots, by direction of the Executors,
THE VALUABLE FREEHOLD, COPY-
HOLD, and LEASEHOLD ESTATES of
JOHN HUNTER, Esq., deceased;
presenting an exceedingly desirable opportunity to invest in perfect
security, and in very eligible property. The following is neces,a.
rily a very short outline:—
Firstly, A MERCHANT'S RESIDENCE,
FREEHOLD OF INHERITANCE,
desirably situate in
BRIXTON-PLACE, NEAR TO THE CHURCH,
screened from the bustle of the road by a large front garden, while
at the rear the grounds are
UNUSUALLY EXTENSIVE AND DELIGHTFUL,
extending from the lawn to kitchen garden, walled round, and
clothed with fruit, and connected with all the retirement a distant
country abode can boast of. It is, in fact,
A FIRST.R ATE RESIDENCE,
planned for comfort in its comprehensive form, with corresponding
offices of every description, within and without, court yard, with
coach house and stabling ; indeed it combines everything a respect-
able merchant can desire, with immediate possession. Also,
THREE SNUG RESIDENCES IN THE BEST PART OF
KENNINGTON-LANE,
Nos. 5,6, and 7, most respectably occupied at low rents. They are
COPYHOLD OF THE QUEEN'S MANOR,
A CAPITAL HOUSE IN WARREN-STREET,
Fitzroy-square, No. 47, suited to a respectable family, with conve-
niences of every description throughout, and a large garden in com-
munication with the New-road, on lease, at a low rent of sixty
guineas only. Again,
TWO FREEHOLD HOUSES AND SHOPS,
Nor. 7 and 10, BROAD.STREET, GOLDEN-SQUARE.
This is a very improvable property,, and a considerable increase of
rent may be relied on, so soon as the leases expire. Mr. Greenfield
and Mr. Hammond pay only 1401. a year. And lastly,
A COPYHOLD ESTATE AT HAVANT, NOT FAR
DISTANT FROM PORTSMOUTH.
It consises of a first-rate house, at present occupied as a seminary,
by a yearly tenant; but whenever Portsmouth again resumes Its
natural position and influence, it will be regarded as a desirable
habitation for the "highest Officer in the,Naval Department."
THE ESTATES ARE 'GREATLY UNDERLET.
The present value approaches
SEVEN HUNDRED POUNDS A-YEAR.
The houses can only be seen by permission of the several tenants,
and the residence by tickets ; and particulars had on the several
premises; of Messrs. Naylor, solicitor's, Great Newport-street;
the Mart ; and in Covent-garden.

IN DERBYSHIRE, NEAR TO CIIATSWORTH

THE STOKE HALL ESTATE, WITH A DOMAIN
AROUND IT OF 511 ACRES-SO LONG THE FA-
VOURITE ABODE OF ROBERT ARKWRIGHT, ESQ.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS has very great
pleasure in informing the public that he is instructed by
the Executors, to SELL by PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the
Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 27th of June, at Twelve, in
one lot,
An unusually eligible FREEHOLD PROPERTY, recognised
for many a long year as
THE STOKE-HALL ESTATE,
AND THE LITTLE LION OF DERBYSHIRE,
in contradistinction to its more elevated compeer,
CHATSWORTH'S FAVOURED DEMESNE.

The varied beauties of Derbyshire are so familiar to the public that
the composer of this imperfect sketch might almost excuse himself
from the difficult task of attempting a correct outline, but the para-
mount duty he owes to his respected client forbids his contemplated
excuse—he will, however, be so concise that a fastidious reader shall
not be fatigued. The estate is situate in the very heart of Derby-
shire, five miles from Bakewell, ten from Chesterfield and Sheffield,
the mail to Sheffield passing through it daily.
THE RIVER DERW ENT,

whose beauteous stream is so justly renowned, appears in all its
glory at Stoke—nature (always kind) has been bountiful beyond
measure, having so disposed the river that it encircles nearly
the whole of this large domain—Stoke almost appears to claim
it as its own.

THE NATURAL LOVELINESS OF DERBYSHIRE
appears concentrated into one focus. The wildness of the thick
ample foliage of the
PET PLACE UNDER OUR ESPECIAL REVIEW,

within whose shades the Derwent for a while retires, only to burst
again upon the sight with increased force and beauty ; and the stupen.
dous hills, which form an amphitheatre of prodigious extent, give a
splendid picture, as contrasted with the peace and quietude of the fer-
tile •alley below. The softer allurement of this beauteous scene,
contrasted with the murmuring of the rapid stream, at once indicates
that the hand of something more than mortal has lent its power.
ful aid.

The reader may imagine, although it would not be an easy task
to describe, the beauties of a walk of two miles in extent, parallel
with the famed Derwent, varying at every turn,
" Lost for a apace through thickets veering,
But broader when again appearing,"
passing through its rugged course, beneath luxuriant grown plan-
tations, where Vistas are planned with consummate judgment, so as
to catch ever and anon the splendid diversity of this Claude.like
picture, relieved by the undulation in these grounds, which have
been so aptly assimilated to
THE GARDEN OF EDEN.

The river traversing over unseen beds of stone, the gracefully
waving fern, scattered over the fore-ground, impart just such an air
of tempered wildness as must gladden the correct eye of the lover of
scenic beauty, without offence to those who are inclined to look
rather for the superintending hand of care and cultivation. Lin.
gering Isere awhile, and surveying the vastness of Nature's beauties,
how humiliating does the littleness of human work appear?
In the midst of this enjoyment, and near to the Waterfall and
Cascade, is a Cold Bath, which, by natural means, inclines to the
temperature of warm water, by reason of its velocity passing from
a great distance within the rocks in its progress through the rugged
approach to light and air.
PIERCEFIELD, IN ALL ITS GLORY,

may be proud to be contemporaneous with Stoke (excepting always
in its extent), for it cannot surpass the loveliness of the terrace-walk,
indeed a comparison would be unfavourable, inasmuch as the
Golden Wye does not claim to be particularly pellucid, while the
Derwent represents a limpid stream, pure as the fountain from
which it emanates. In respect to
STOKE HALL MANSION.

Mr. Robins imagines that the future historian will record his
opinion in something like the following
FAITHFUL PORTRAITURE:

It is one of the most delightful Mansions of the country. It
does not pretend to the magnificence or splendour of Chatsworth,
but it claims, and with good grace, to be selected as the fit and
happy home for those in the pursuit of the comforts and elegancies
of life. It is neither poor for want of ornament, nor gaudy with
profusion. Standing alone on a graceful and commanding eminence,
it looks without envy upon anything created, and on the Derwent,
