IN THE STAFFORDSHIRE POTTERIES.

THE BERRY HILL ESTATE,
situated within one mile of Stoke-upon-Trent, and three
miles from Newcastle-under-Lyme, comprising 194 acres, toge-
ther with the whole of the very valuable Mines of Coal, Ironstone,
and Potters' Clay under the same.
By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the Auction Mart, on TUESDAY, 3d of May, at Twelve, in
One Lot, by direction of the Trustees for Sale of the
ENGLISH ESTATES OF THE
LATE MARQUIS OF ORMONDE,
And under an Act of Parliament.
THE BERRY HILL ESTATE
Consists of an excellent Farm-house, most conveniently situated,
with suitable Out-buildings, and a compact Farm containing
ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-FOUR ACRES
of arable, pasture, and meadow land,
ALL TITHE FREE,, AND THE LAND TAX REDEEMED,
and now in the occupation of Mr. Limer, whose term expires at
Lady-day, 1837.
It must be observed that the surface value of this Property is
quite secondary when compared with that of the
VAST STORE OF MINERALS

therein comprised, which have lately been inspected by Mr. W. w.
Bailey, the mining engineer, and have been by him most favour-
ably reported.
The Estate can be viewed, and particulars, with plans annexed,
had 28 days prior to the Sale, at the Roebuck, Newcastle-under-
Lyme ; F. W. Tomlinson, Solicitor, Cliffe Ville. Stoke-upon-
Trent; Messrs. Williams, Brooks, Powell, and Broderip, Lincoln's
Inn ; Messrs. Amory and Coles, Throgmorton-street ; Messrs.
Cardale and Co., Bedford Row; W. W. Bailey, Mining En-
gineer, Midway, Burton-upon-Trent ; the Auction Mart, and at
Mr. George Robins's Offices in London.

IN SURREY.

The WONHAM ESTATE, A MANSION OF IMPORT-

ANCE IN A FINELY WOODED PARK, AND A. DO-
MAIN CONNECTED WITH IT OF 176 ACRES,
WITH EXTENSIVE GARDENS, PLEASURE-

GROUNDS, AND PLANTATION WALKS.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS has been honoured
by instructions from
A NOBLE VISCOUNT, THE PROPRIETOR,

to offer to Public Auetion, at the Mart, in London, on THURSDAY,
May 26th, at 12 o'clock,
THE WONHAM ESTATE,
A FINE FREEHOLD PROPERTY,

situate in the admired district which connects it with
BOX HILL AND REIGATE.
From the latter it is two miles distant, and about four from Dorking.
The property under consideration has been known for many a long

year as one of
THE PET PLACES OF SURREY.

is altogether Ola commanding character. The Mansion partakes
very much of the
GOTHIC ORDER OF ARCHITECTURE ;

and without pretending to more than its deserts, it may be pro-
claimed to rank as one of the best family abodes throughout the
County. It is
EMI3OSSOMED IN A FINELY TIMBERED PARK,
THE RIVER MOLE PASSING THROUGH IT,

abundantly supplied with fish, while the meandering of its stream is
indistinctly heard at the mansion. The pleasure-grounds and
plantation walks are very extensive, and so fruitful in American
plants and evergi eens, that winter appears estranged from this do-
micile. The Kitchen-gardens are most abundant ; the Hot-
houses and Green-house well placed ; and an Ice-house hard
by. In respect of the residence, it may be well to observe it was
erected in the olden times, when substantiality and comfort were
both voted essentials. It is in excellent order, although it is not
pretended to deny that a purchaser may have the benefit of distin-
guishing himself, and manifesting his taste, by a little ornamental
renovation in the interior. There is
A SPLENDID CONSERVATORY
which adorns the South Front,

MEASURING EIGHTY-TWO FEET,
erected of massive stone, combining' much of utility with good
taste, and adding, not a little, to the consequence of the place. The
Estate is altogether
ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIX ACRES,

of which the Park and Plantations are about sixty-eight acres, all
lying together, and including " The Rice-bridge Dairy Farm."
The quality of the soil is exceedingly rich; between two and three
loads of hay per acre may be accounted an average crop ; and some
of the best bullocks in the London market may be traced to Won-
ham. The situation of the property is so familiar to every one,
that it would be superfluous to say mush. Nothing can exceed the
variety and interest of the surrounding scenery; indeed this very
district has long been entitled ono of
" THE GARDENS OF ENGLAND."

Its easy access to the Metropolis and Brighton will not be underva-
lued. If ennui should ever dare to intrude at Wonham, a remedy is
at hand—the projected railway will so reduce the time, as to par-
take of the gaiety of Brighton or London in little more than an
hour. It may not be amiss, by way of reminder, to state that field
sports may be enjoyed to a great degree, and

_
THE DERBY AND OAKS
come off within five or six miles. Such is a faint outline. The
intermediate space will be made out more satisfactorily by seeking
ocular demonstration.

Particulars will be ready for distribution 28 days prior to the
sale, to be had at the principal Inns at Reigate, Sutton, Dorking
and Epsom ; of Mr. Mortimer, solicitor, Albany -, the Auc-
tion Mart, and in Covent-garden, where a plan of the Estate and
a drawing of the Mansion can be inspected.

AT a MEETING of the SUBSCRIBERS to
the FUND for OPPOSING the PRESENT NORTH
MIDLAND RAILWAY BILL in Parliament, and of others
favourable to the very important object of bringing that Railway
through Sheffield, convened by the Master Cutler, by public ad-
vertisement, and held at the Cutlers' Hall, the Gth April, 1836,—
THOMAS BLAKE, Esq., Senior Warden of the Cutlers' Com-

pang, in the Chair.

. . -
It was unanimously resolved,
That the proceedings of the Cominittee, as now reported by them
be approved and confirmed. ,
That as there appears to be the highest probability of ultimate
success in opposing the intended line of the North Midland Rail-
way, if strenuous exertions continue to be made ; the present
Meeting requests and authorizes the Committee to prosecute that
object (so deeply affecting the future prosperity of the town of
Sheffield), by the most vigorous measures in their power.
That to enable the Committee to act in conformity with the pre-
ceding resolution, an additional fund is indispensably requisite, and
that the Gentlemen, Merchants, Manufacturers, shopkeepers, and
other inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, who are net al-
ready on the Subscription List, be invited to aid by their contribu-
tions a cause which all who have an interest in maintaining the
value of property in this district, and preserving the trade and im-
portance of the town, are especially called upon to support.
That the warmest thanks of the Meeting be given to his Grace
the Duke of Norfolk, for his liberal offer and his public-spirited sup-
port of the interests of the town, in the important affair respecting
which we are this day assembled.
That the following Gentlemen form an Auxiliary Committee for
the special purpose of obtaining subscriptions, with power to add
to their number, viz.—Mr. Doncaster, Mr. J. W. Smith, Mr.
Gainsford, Mr. John Ward, Mr. T. J. Parker, Mr. W. Smith,
Mr. W. Cadman, and Mr. Joseph Mappin.
That the Committee be requested to draw up an Address to
the public, urging the importance of the object in view, and the
necessity for further subscriptions.
That the Resolutiens of this Meeting, and the intended Address,
be made public, under the direction and at the discretion of the
Committee.

(Signed) THOMAS BLAKE.
That the best thanks of the Meeting be given to Mr. Blake, for
his services in the Chair.

about 5,0001.

The Treccolvas Mines are situate in the immediate vicinity of
Saint Columb Major, in the county of Cornwall. The setts are
extensive, and contain numerous veins or lodes, presenting a va-
riety of rich ore of different descriptions. The position is advan-
tageous, and the geological strata peculiarly favourable for imme-
diate, large, and continued operations.
The Directors, in the course of their negotiations for the pur-
chase of the setts, instituted a series of inquiries into the nature
and capabilities of the mines, and the result is, the gratifying con-
viction that the Mines are rich in cobalt, tin, and copper—that they
offer the advantage of being worked to a great extent by water
wheels only—that the setts present facilities for an almost imme-
diate return upon the capital required to be embarked, and that no
rational doubt can be entertained but that efficient machinery will
command large and continued profits.
Applications for Shares in the capital stock of this Company may
be addressed, by letter, post paid, to Mr. C. F. Kirkman, the Se-
cretary, at the offices of the Company, No. 12, Pancras-lane,
Cheapside, London.
