THE YACHT CLUB

would find this delightful spot very congenial to his aquatic views.
Indeed, it would puzzle a conjurer, after summing up the various
attributes to which Brooklands puts in se powerful a claim. to rind
a single fault, or a wish that may not be gratified here. To con.
elude, the admirers of field sports will find ample scope to gratify
their propensity. Those who hold religious feeling in a proper
light will be glad to know that the church skirts the Park ; and,
as economy is the order of the day, it may be well to observe that
coals are landed close by, upon such low terms that a hard winter is
not to he dreaded. _ _

Particulars are preparing, and may be had one month antece-
dently to the Auction, with two drawings of the Mansion and
Grounds, beautifully executed, and a plan annexed, for which six-
pence will be charged, solely with a view to prevent idle applications
—to be procured at the Dolphin and Star, Southampton ; at the Ho-
tels at Ryde and Cowes; of Thomas Binns, Esq., solicitor, Elvetham,
near Hartford Bridge; Messrs. Barney and Maberley, solicitors,
Southampton; Mr. Perkins, auctioneer; the Auction Mart; and at
Mr. George Rubins' offices, London,
The ELEGANT and APPROPRIATE FURNITURE and
APPENDAGES THROUGHOUT the MANSION, with the
SPLENDID WINES, may be ADDED to the PURCHASE.

CAERLEON PRIORY, IN -MONMOUTHSHIRE, THREE
MILES FROM NEWPORT, WITH THE GROUNDS,
AND PASTURE WHICH ENVIRON IT, AND SMALL
FARMS, AT AN EASY REMOVE.
Alf.R. GEORGE ROBINS is honoured by the
" instructions of T. Hooper, Esq., who is removing to Ha,-
,iiington Park, to SELL by AUCTION, at the Hotel in Newport,
on SATCUPAY, the 18th of August, at Twelve o'clock,
AN IMPORTANT FREEHOLD ESTATE,
which, amongst its manifold qualifications, claims a peculiar interest
from its antiquity.
THE CAERLEON PRIORY

nviy be traced, from Historical Record, as far back as the 6th
century ; there are still remaining outward and visible signs which
indicate that the town was erected on the site of
A GREAT ROMAN CITY.
It is not pretended that time has not disturbed its original gran-
deur, as little trace of its former greatness is now perceptible. The
Priory, however, seems to have been selected as a favoured trophy
to hand down to a late posterity an incontrovertible proof of pre-
vious celebrity. The reader need not be reminded that Caerlecn is
placed on the right bank
OF THE RIVER USK,

in the most enchanting part of Monmouthshire, where the scenery
is resplendent beyond the feeble power of the writer to describe.
But there is a sort of charm (if such an expression may be forgiven)
in its being the sacred spot wherein will be found

KING ARTHUR'S ROUND TABLE
iin the meadow, approximating upon the verdant lawn. The walls
still exhibit the most striking remains of their ancient structure.
The south-western side passes
THE AMPHITHEATRE, OR ROUND TABLE
in a direct parrallel to the river Usk, and skirting the lawn of the
Abbey; it is an oval concavity, measuring 74 yards by 64, the
sides gently sloping, are now covered, as well as the bottom, with
turf, and the records from history proclaim it to be on the site of a
Roman amphitheatre. The Priory is indebted to the present
family for having escaped the fearful ravages of a later period. A
very large expenditure, aided by consummate skill, has restored its
bygone imperfections.
THE GOTHIC STYLE OF ARCHITECTURE
prevails throughout, and within there is an admixture of taste and
comfort, that it may be imagined was not to be numbered amid
its early attributes.
There are two approaches, the one leading through the Gothic
Gates at the Lodge, the other passing through
THE TRANQUIL WINDING CLOISTERS.
The effect on entering the principal suite of Gothic rooms
BEGGARS all DESCRIPTION, and yet there is a quiet un-
pretending style that varies and helps the delightful illusion. The
windows below are of ancient painted glass, shedding the
" DIM RELIGIOUS LIGHT,"
are finely contrasted with the gay and lightsome appearance of
' e above. The bed chambers are numerous, and all the offices
to harmonize well. The wavy and shaded walks, which en-
etc this Elysium, are enriched by shrubs and flowers—they are
hing in extent, but every thing in grace and beauty. The
3 are extensive, varied, and beautiful ; it is within a morning's
en-
etc
drive of
PIERCEFIELD, TINTERN ABBEY, AND
RAGLAND CASTLE;
and the admirer of field sports may enjoy them here to his heart's
content, with the best fishing at the foot Of its own meadows. A
Yacht is kept, so that aquatic amusement may be added to the detail.
Much more may be urged to enlist the attention of those who desire
to recreate in a Priory amid the most enchanting scenery, and
surrounded by a panoramic view of great extent and loveliness ; but
Mr. Robins prefers to invoke all such as shall be well disposed to
seek occular proof, and return satisfied that the writer by this im-
perfect sketch has not vouchsafed to colour the Landscape so highly
as it merits. It can only be seen by Particulars and a Dra.s•ing,
which .will be charged One Shilling each, only to avoid unneces-
sary and idle intrusion, to be had at the Plough, Cheltenham ;
White Hart,. Bath ; Beaufort Arms, Monmouth ; Barrett's Hotel,
Ross; at the Mait ; and Mr. Geo. Robins's Offices, London.
P.S. THE FARMS, WHICH FORM A DELIGHTFUL
AUXILIARY, W,ILL. EITHER BE ADDED TO THE
PRIORY, OR EitikLD IN SEPARATE LOTS.
THE ELEGANT APPENDAGES THROUGHOUT
THE PRIORY MAY BE ADDED TO THE PURCHASE
MONEY, HALF OF WHICH MAY REMAIN ON
MORTGAGE.

27,000 BOTTLES, of MESSRS THOMAS and CO., of
_ _

No. 3, CLEMENT'S-LANE, LONIBARD-STREET.
In announcing the sale of this unrivalled and extensive Stock of
Wines, Mr. Robins conceives, in addition to Publishing the name of
this well known and old established firm, it is simply necessary to
state that, in furtherance of their intention to give up their pre-
mises, the lease having expired, he is authorised to submit most pe-
remptorily the whole of their highly prized wines, which, for extent,
variety, and character, challenge a comparison with any in the City
of London. This celebrated firm was for many a long year esta-
blished at the Old Swan, London-bridge, where their great cele-
brity first commenced, and has been continuous ever since, no house
in the trade having maintained a higher rank for the quality of their
wines, and few have arrived at the same high fame in the selection
of " Ports." The following is a brief summary of the Stock, viz :-
840 Dozens of Splendid Port Good Sherries, shipped by the
Wine. Wiley and Co.'s celebra- well-known Houses, Jones,
ted Shipping of various vintages Grassint, and Co. ; Martinez
and different periods in bottles. and Mora ; Beigbeder and

To conclusion, Mr. Robins invites the lelipepio attention 9f his
friends and t 174: public to an opportunity so tempting to improN4
their cellars, in the f. 411 persuasion that it is scarcely possible to
re-
commend this stock too highly to their notice.

Clement's-lane ' • Catalogues the week prior on the premises; and
