.Shooters'.-hill, the residence of R. F. A. Freeman,
Esq., Esq., delightfully situate, is part of the valuable domain, approached
from its lodge on the London-road, and the mansion, though of
unassuming pretension, is full of comfort, presenting a neat eleva-
tion, environed by tastefully displayed plantations, gardens, plea-
sure grounds, and park like enclosures, quite a gentleman's resi-
dence, replete with all requisite domestic offices ; and complete farm
buildings, for 400 acres of land attached, and let on building lease
at a low rent, with the mansion, commanding extensive and varied
scenery over the soft undulating and far spreading woods of Ros-
sington, (the town of Doncaster in view,) and closed by rising
grounds and woods in the distant horizon. Rossington Grange,
secluded by sheltering woods, and watered by the Thorne Rivulet.
On the westerly side of the estate is a highly respectable farm
residence, with capital homestead, buildings, and premises for 300
acres of land, forming altogether one of the most valuable farms
of the neighbourhood. The Inn, called the Corporation Arms, but
more generally known by the appellation of Rossington-bridge, with
its excellent accommodation, stabling for 100 horses, and spacious
farmstead and lands, is admirably situate by the high London
road on the northern boundary, and has attained, under the
present management, that well-merited reputation which its
sporting and agricultural friends are on all occasions anxious
to proclaim. The luxuriant woods and thriving plantations, pro-
verbial for their neat and healthy appearance, and the theme of
general praise, containnearly 300 acres, yielding a very considerable
annual income, including the Hunster, Holms' Carr, and Parks'
Woods, of fine grown oak timber, which, with the other covers
upon the estate, and the approximating strictly preserved grounds
of J. Walbanke Childers, Esq., 11. P., George Greaves,
and others, and parts of the Nottinghamshire possessions of his
Grace the Duke of Newcastle, afford covert and plain shooting

en
justly to any in the kingdom. The vicinity of Doncaster has
justly celebrated for its numerous seats of the nobility and gentry
and fashionable society. The fox-hunting excellent, the Badswor

and Scarborough kennels close at hand, and the Fitzwilliam and
Bramham Hunts within distance. The Manor of Rossington,. with

estate, with the woods in hand, is estimated at 3,2001. per annum. It
would bo vain to attempt to describe all the advantages which this
beautiful domain possesses. It must be seen to be fully appraeucdiated

CALVERLEY PARK.
This splendid Hotel is of the first class, and it is not too much to
add, that it is not surpassed by any rival Establishment throughout
England. The situation has been wisely selected. It is on an
eminence, and the Hotel and Terrace-walk command extensive
and very beautiful views of the adjacent lovely country, adorned by
Woodland Scenery of surpassing beauty. It is within
A PARK OF TWENTY ACRES,
a short distance from the Church, and near the centre of Ton-
bridge Wells. The Pleasure Grounds are laid out with infinite
taste. It may be well to observe that Calverley House, previously
to its being reconstructed and formed into the present Alagnificent
Hotel, was for several seasons selected by
" HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN"
and the Duchess of Kent, as their much admired abode. The si-
tuation, therefore, is no longer equivocal. The next (and a very
important point it is) is to demonstrate its great value for its in- '
tended purpose—fortunately but little is necessary to be said ;
the numberless persons from the great metropolis who seek
health or recreation, cannot any where, at so easy a distance, meet
with a more salubrious air, or more lovely scenery than at Tonbridge
Wells, and when the Calverley Hotel, midway between London,
Hastings, St. Leonard's, Eastbourne, &c., and only 30 miles from
Brighton, shall present its splendid and economical welcome to
visitors, the more reasonable apprehension seems to be, that its
ample accommodation Will still be insufficient. It is not intended
to carry into detail its manifold qualifications, but confine this an-
nouncement to a few only of the most prominent points. There are
altogether 50 Bed Chambers, more than 20 Tavern or Sitting-
Rooms, an elegant att,sßacious Coffee-room ; with ample Coach-
houses and Stabling. The Building preients a most imposing
front. The architecture is in the best taste of Mr. Decimus Burton,
and the arrangement throughout so perfect as to leave nothing
more to be desired. To conclude, it may be suggested that if civi-
lity and moderate charges be appended as the motto to adorn the
entrance-hall, it is quite manifest that a certain and very speedy
fortune will reward the labours of any enterprizing individual.
The following will demonstrate the fact that the rent is very
inadequate to its annual value, viz.:-

at which latter rent a Lease for any period will be granted to an
approved tenant, who cannot fail to secure a very considerable
annual income.
Principals will apply to Mr. George Robins, Covent-garden ;
and Messrs. Bartrum and Son, Solicitors, 72, Old Broad-street,
who will explain in a personal interview the incalculable advan-
tages this Hotel has in the prospective.
