In the SOUTH of DEVON, between IVYBRIDGE and PLY-
MOUTH, the ELFORDLIEGH ESTATE, suitgd to the
M.P. for the COUNTY, with TWO HUNDRED AND
TWENTY-EIGHT ACRES OF LAND, and THRIVING
WOODS AND PLANTATIONS.
TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION,
By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY NEX r, August 24,
at Twelve o'clock,
A SINGULARLY eligible FREEHOLD
la. PROPERTY, designated

ELFORDLEIGH,
and for a lengthened period
THE ADMIRED ABODE of WILLIAM LANGMEAD, ESQ.
The Mansion, which is one of the features of this vicinity, is
seated or rather it nestles under the brew of the Hill, within
" THE PARK GROUNDS,"

and in ♦iew of

THE ORNAMENTAL WATERS.
A splendid Conservatory, erected upon the best principle, adorns
this favoured abode. The majestic timber which ornament
THE HANGING WOODS,
includes " THE MONARCH OF THE FOREST,"
with Pines of stately growth. The rising grounds afford shelter
from the wintry wind ; while
" THE VALLEY TEEMING WITH WILD FERTILITY,"
refreshes and aids the delightful illusion. In the extensive
Shrubberies which encompass Elfordleigh, the American Plants
and flowering Shrubs, relieved by parterres, projecting rocks,
the jet d'eau and fountain, form an ensemble of very rare oc-
currence. The Kitchen Gardens are walled, and abound in fruit
and vegetables. The approach to the Mansion is by a rustic lodge
of pleasing design, and progresses for a mile through the luxuriant
plantations, wherein vistas are judiciously cut to give additional
effect, and vary the delightful scene, until the pictureque valley is
brought into closer contact ; indeed, the situation will hardly yield
to anything throughout this interesting district. It is midway
between

IVYBRIDGE AND PLYMOUTH,
" THE RENOWNED WOODS OF SALTRAAI"
on one side, and Newnham on the other; in the distant scene
MOUNT EDGCOIUBE,
Lord Morley's, and the Town of Plymouth, are perceptible--aid in
the delightful illusion, and tend materially to heighten the effect of
the picture.

PLYM BRIDGE AND RIVER PLYM
give effect to the
FAMED SCENERY OF BICKLEY VALE,
and in the distance the landscape is made perfect by the
CRAGGY MOUNTAINS OF DARTMOOR,
,and THE FAMED BREAKWATER.
The neighbourhood stands confessedly without a rival anywhere for
its good fellowship and high respectability. The Mansion is adapted
to a man of fortune.
THE STRUCTURE IS OF STONE ; A MODERN ELE-
VATION,
avoiding all the faults of the present school ; in its outward fora
IT IS OF AN IMPOSING CHARACTER,
and within there is

" THAT WHICH PASSETH SHEW,"
for comfort in its most intelligible form prevails throughout ; the
offices are very commensurate, and the court-yard encloses excellent
stabling for ten horses, and standing for three carriages. By the
way it may not be amiss to allude to the forthcoming
CONTEST FOR THIS DISTRICT,
when the possessor of Elfordleigh will put in very strong claims to
be one of the
"
. REPRESENTATIVESATIVES OF THE COUNTY,
!f his principles be Conservative and liberal, and the motto of
may Hospitality be appended to the Mansion, it is not impossible he

WALK OVER THE COURSE.
The Estate, including the Plantations and Ornamental Woods,
extends to

22SA, 20r., of which a portion is divided inte
TWO EXCELLENT FARMS,
with appropriate buildings, respectably occupied.
MINERALS TO SOME EXTENT
have been discovered, as well as clay. There has already been
2,0001. expended in preparatory means whereby to arrive at a "con-
siderable annual revenue ;" indeed this fine property is altogether
fruitful in the multiplicity of its varied attributes.
It can be viewed twenty-eight days prior to the Sale, and par-
ticulars had with a lithographic drawing, and plan of the Estate,

Inn, Exeter; of Messrs. Woollcombe and Jago, Solicitors, Ply-
mouth; the Mart and at Mr. lic.hins'e Offices, London.

- HANGING WOODS,
and full-grown Plantations. The country far and near appears as
ONE CONTINUED PARK ;
The society is capital, and there is no lack of good fellowship. The
soil is adapted to add profit to the pleasure of superintending the
farm. The second crop of clover may now be seen in great luxuri-
ance. Cows are fatted on the pasture, and the hops new growing
leave no doubt of the character of the soil. In conclusion, it may be
affirmed it stands alone for its manifold advantages. It is on lease
to Mr. Hartnall, a most respectable tenant and excellent farmer,
at only 1301. a-year.

THE Under-mentioned EXCEEDINGLY
VALUABLE FREEHOLD PROPERTY.
As an Investment it is without risk, and may almost be said to
stand alone for its permanent eligibility, viz. :

An Establishment that does not yield in its importance to any
COACH ESTABLISHMENT IN ENGLAND.
It is not intended to enter into a detail of the varied qualifications
which appertain to any of the several Properties, as the printed Par-
ticulars will give the desired information. It need only be re-
marked that, independent of covered standing for all the Stage-
coaches that rendezvous at the Bolt-in-Tun, there are
FORTY-FIVE CAPITAL STALLS
and Three Dwelling Houses in the Yard, adapted to accommodate
the Coachmen and Guards, besides large Granaries and depositories
for hay and straw.

Immediately connected and adjoining is
THE SUSSEX HOTEL IN BOUVERIE-STREET,
which is now accounted one of the most select and
COMFORTABLE HOTELS IN ENGLAND ;
44 beds are nightly made up ; there are lots of tavern rooms in
great request ; a capital coffee-room, well frequented, and a
SPLENDID CLUB-ROOM TO DINE ONE HUNDRED.

hill. Also,

NOBLE RIVER FLOWS BETWEEN THE ESTATES.
They are also only three miles from the canal at Lismore. four
from the quays of Tullowbridge and Tyreullen, on the river Bride,
and twelve from the

SEA-PORT TOWN OF YOUGH ALL,
ALL IN THE COUNTY OF WATERFORD.
The situation needs no panegyric to those who are fortunate
enough to have enjoyed ocular demonstration of its varied beauties;
to those, however, who lack that advantage, a few brief observa-
tions will not be eut of place.
THE S.VENERY is MOST ROMANTIC and LUXURIANT;
THE RICHLY WOODED GLEN,
And "PICTURESQUE FALL OF GLENMORE"
Which is a portion of the Property, and considered one of its proudest
features, forms the eastern boundary of Coolishall, and the river
Araglin bounds it on the north ; the house and demesne have the
Blackwater on the north, with private boats and walks to connect
them with the

FAMED GLEN AND WATERFALL OF GLENMORE ;
and on the west are thick plantations. The walks and shrubberies
are very extensive, adorned by thousands of the choicest fruit trees
and flowering shrubs, and the Residence commands extensive views
of the Grounds of

GLENCAIRN ABBEY, FORT WILLIAM,
THE CATHEDRAL, and CASTLE OF LISMORE,
with many other seats of renown. The surpassing beauty of the
ornamental timber renders the scene perfect; indeed there are
many who.have likened this favoured property to
ELYSIUM.
If profit be in the mind's eye of the purchaser, he will find a
suitable spot whereon to erect a mill or factory, with an
UNLIMITED COMMAND OF WATER;
and there are also numerous romantic and beautiful spots, admirably
suited to the erection of villas ; in fact, the temptation will be irre-
sistible for a building operation on a large and profitable scale.
The Domain extends altogether to nearly
ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED ACRES OF
ARABLE, PASTURE, WOOD, AND MOUNTAIN LAND.
The residence is replete with comfort, and ample for all the legi-
timate desires of a family of high respectability. Nearly the entire
property is irrigated, there is an unlimited command of lime-stone,
limestone-sand, made, and turbary ; all the neighbouring mountains
abound in grouse, and the
" WINTER SHOOTING MAY BE ASSIMILATED TO
THAT OF KILLARNEY,"
And the HUNTING and FISHING unsurpassed any where.
It will not be amiss to state, with a view to remind the Irish,
and to ILLUMINE THE ENGLISH CAPITALIST, to point
out a few advantages, that have had but little weight in their estima-
tion heretofore it has been too much the fashion to talk of Irish
property asof SUPPOSITITIOUS VALUE—the rental as exceed-
ingly difficult in its collection and the tenantry poor and dissatisfied.
In some distant parts of Ireland, where land is OVER LET, or
rented by THOSE REAL OPPRESSORS OF THE POOR,
THE. MIDDLEMEN, it may be that the foregoing remarks will
occasion ally apply
but on this property, situate in the very best and
most civilised part of Ireland, a refreshing contrast is
presented.
To this may be added a feature of considerable import ; it is in the
MOST ;
TRANQUIL AND CIVILIZED DISTRICTS IN
IRELAND, where their comfort is not destroyed by the TUR-
MOIL OF POLITICAL STRIFE.
Very descriptive particulars will be ready for circulation 28 days
prior to the sale, and can then be obtained of W. B. Cowley, Esq.
8, Lower Gardiner-street, Dublin, who will give orders to see the
Estate ; also, at Morrison's Hotel, Dublin ; and on the Exchange;
also, at the Exchange, Belfast, Cork, and Limerick ; W. C. Jack-
son, Esq.'s,Auction Mart ;
5t.3
and Mr. George Robins's Offices, London., Lincoln's Inn-fields; I. L. Curtis, Esq., Cork; the

CONFECTIONARY, PRESERVES, AND HOME-MADE
WINES.
THE Season having arrived when supplies of
Brandy are required for the above preparations, it is right
that the superior merits of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY
should be-borne in mind ; as, from its extreme purity and perfect
freedom from those icids
which exist in French Brandies, it is, in a
peculiar degree, adapted to those purposes. It is also strongly re-
commended by the Faculty, and particularly at this season, as a
substitute for Beer or other fermentable liquors, when diluted with
water in the proportion of one to six or seven ; in which state the
price but little exceeds that of Alalt Liquor.
As Dis'illers, J. Tt BETTS and Co. cannot send out less than
two Gallons, which :may be obtained, either pale or coloured, at
Eighteen Shillings Per Imperial Gallon,] of the highest legal
strength, at the Distillery, No. 7; Smithfield-bars, leading to St.
John-street, which is their only establishment.
