THE AWFUL EFFECTSOr'FIRS e
frequent loss of life by Fire is enough to awaken the feelings
of every thinking mind to seek even the most simple means of pro-
tection against such dreadful calamities. J. READ begs leave to
inform the Public that he is now prepared with DOUBLE
ACTION FIRE ENGINES upon his New Patent Principle,
that will discharge as much water in any given time as two pumps
of the same dimensions upon the common principle, and with two-
thirds of the labour. Made to order of any dimensions ; some are
so portable they will pass through a door-way or passage, and may
be kept in a house. The valves cannot get out of repair ; if stand-
ing by for months would be ready to act in an instant.
Likewise HORTICULTURAL MACHINES of every descrip-
tion, warranted the best for the purposes, from 31 years practical
experience in the above science in all its branches.
4pty be seen and proved at 35, Regent-circus, Piccadilly.

IN MONMOUTHSHIRE.
THE BLACK BROOK ESTATE, WITHIN EIGHT
MILES OF ROSS, A RESIDENCE AND 305 ACRES
OF LAND.
TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION,
BY MR. GEORGE ROBINS,
At Mr. Barrett's Hotel, in Ross, on THURSDAY, the 16th of August,
at One for Two o'Clock exactly,
N EXCEEDINGLY ELIGIBLE PRO-
PERTY, which, during a long course, has uniformly main-
tained a high character, and been justly celebrated as
THE BLACK BROOK ESTATE, AND
ONE OF THE LEADING FEATURES OF THE
COUNTY.
In giving an impartial account of this property, and adapting the
plan which Mr. Robins has invariably pursued, of placing only facts
upon record, it may be stated that the .Mansion, with its appro-
priate buildings. cost 7,000/. or 8,000/. ; subsequently it has been
improved by additional outlay ; it is only during the last live years
that it has remained without a suitable tenant ; dilapidation has
during that period interposed its unwelcome appearance, and
although substantial repair is not needed, it must in candour be ad-
mitted that it requires to be ornamented throughout. It may,
however, be remembered that a new possessor may exh.bit his
talent of embellishment by the outlay of a few hundred pounds, and
restore it to its pristine state. A gentleman disposed to make this
purchase, on arrivtfl Mack Brook,
lIE MOST BEAUTEOUS
OF ENGL. 7:-D'S FAVOURED SCENERY,
will be on the inst., i•s:;;etful of the trifling disbursement. The
splendid landscap ,t Awaits him, the perfect Claude scene that
environs the delightful (;founds of he Mansion, the majestic hills
and splendid panorama, with the meandering stream below, form
an ensemble of unapproachable beauty.
THE DOMAIN IS ABOUT
THREE HUNDRED AND FIVE ACRES,
entirely within a ring fence, the greater portion well calculated for
A SHEEP AND TURNIP FARM,
independently of a
SNUG LITTLE DAIRY,
to say nothing of its congeniality for good wheat and clover.
residence is erected of stone, and the timber of oak ; it
possesses all the reqtti-.fOY., for family comfort : itAfe.i.Tices are ample,
ant.l .he rum buildings abundant. There is besides a large and
handsome cottage, suited to the tenant of the farm. The roads
are everywhere good, and the romantic scenery from Boss to
Black Brook can only he appreciated by those who have seen it.

and Grant, Kings-road, Bedford-row ; the Mart, and at Mr. George
