FREEHOLD ESTATE AT SHEPHERD'S BUSH,
On theLINE of the BIRMINGHAM, BRISTOL, and THAMES
JUNCTION RAILWAY.
A FARM RESIDENCE, with ABOVE A HUNDRED ACRES
of EXCELLENT LAND, full of BRICK EARTH,
TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION,
By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the Auction Mart, on WrnNEsnalr, August 30, at Twelve, in
Seventeen Lots, by direction of the Birmingham, Bristol, and
Thames Junction Railway Company,
.A VALUABLE FREEHOLD PROPERTY,
which, in point of el:gibility, very few can approach. It is
" TIIE EYNHAM FARM," SHEPHERD'S BUSH,
Two and three-quarters Miles from London, and recently pur-
chased of

THE BISHOP OF LONDON '
in order to secure a sufficient quantity of land to carry out to its
full extent the views of the Birmingham, Bristol, and Thames
Junction Railway Company. A qpantity exceeding
ONE HUNDRED ACRES
will not be required for this wonderful undertaking, and has been
divided, with much judgment, into convenient Lots by the able
Surveyor of the Company. This announcement does not contem-
plate more than a brief review of some of the leading features.
First, it abounds with Brick Earth of the highest character, with
an average depth of 8 feet ; the substratum is gravel, and the land
will be hereafter drained by the Railway drain, which is to be con-
structed at a depth below the brick earth, and, with the aid of
THE KENSINGTON CANAL
aTords the certain means of accomplishing it.
THE FARM ABODE
requires a very little eutlay to render it a gentlemanly residence,
and the grounds around it give proof that in the olden time it
must have been most respectably occupied. All the lands conti-
guous would let exceedingly well (after the brick earth has been
used) for a building operation on a large scale. In the meantime
an immense income will be derivable from the land, arising out of
the vast number of sheep and cattle from Northamptonshire (by
the railway) and the West of England, which would need a place
for repose the night antecedent to the market. The upper part
of the land borders upon the
MILITARY ROAD TO WORMHOLT SCRUBBS.
The views in all directions are extensive and beautiful, and its
close approximation to the
ELEVATED HILL OF THE HIPPODROME
will render the plan of the building one not easily resisted.
The Estate may be rendered very influential by
VOTES FOR MIDDLESEX.
This Sale is, by direction of the Board, to be peremptory.
Particulars to be had 21 days prior to the sale, at the Inns at
Hammersmith, and Shepherd's - Bush ; of Messrs. Ray, Blunt,
Duncan and Johnston, Solicitors, Liverpool. street, City , the
Auction, Mart, and in Covent-garden.

has elapsed since the publication of Part X LV., and which is attri-
butable solely to the much lamented death of the late respected
Editor, the Rev. Mr. Smedley. They trust that in the hands of
the new Editor, it will be possible to publish the few remaining
parts with considerable dispatch ; and as Mr. Smedley had nearly
completed his arrangements for the completion of the work, there
will be no difficulty in effecting it in a consistent manner.

VILLAGE OF BABBICOMBE
a spot which even those accustomed to the varied loveliness of thi:
beautiful county universally admit to be the
GARDEN OF SOUTH DEVON;
it is completely embedded in its owl.: wild luxuriant grounds o'
about • SIX ACRES ;
it stands in need of no auxiliary beauties, far nature hath most li-
berally gifted it; it is inaccessible to the sight, save only from the
sea, upon which it peeps, and obtains a view of the limpid bay of
BabbicoMbe, which has been with great truth and justice, likened
to the
BAY OF NAPLES.
It may, indeed, be safely asserted, that no spot throughout the
world can surpass in sweetness and salubrity of situation the one
upon which this delightful little retreat has been placed.
THE PROPERTY IS EQUAL TO FREEHOLD,
being held upon three lives, renewable for ever. The cottage is re-
plete with every domestic comfort, and even a nobleman would
find no lack of accommodation.
Very descriptive particulars can be obtained 21 days prior to the
sale, at Messrs. Atkins, solicitors, and the Libraries, Torquay ; the
New London lon, Exeter ; the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. George Robins's offices, Covent-garden.
