SALES BY AUCTION.

MAGNIFICENT ESTATES and NOBLE RESIDENCE IN SOUTH
LANCASHIRE within FOURTEEN MILES of LIVERPOOL,
comprising the extensive and very valuable DOMAINS and MA-
NORS of BOLD, BURTONWOOD, and SUTTON, presumed to be
one of the most important and improving Properties that has ever
been offered for sale.
MESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON have
been honoured with instructions from the Proprietor to an-
nounce that the above truly magnificent and very valuable
FREEHOLD ESTATES, together nearly 7,000 statute acres, em-
bracing some of the finest land in the county, and almost in a ring
fence, will be submitted to PUBLIC SALE (if not previously dis-
posed of by Private Contract).
They embrace the important " Manor of Bold," with its splendid
mansion, gardens, park, noble woods, lake, and plantations, all
in excellent order, and distinguished as " The Bold llall Estate,"
arid comprising ,within itself about 4,300 acres most su-
perbly timbered, and well stocked with game, also " The
Burtonwood- Estate" adjoining, which contains nearly 1,400
acres, very finely timbered, together with " The Sutton Estate "
closely contiguous, consisting of about 1,030 acres of excellent land
skirting the prosperous and rapidly improving town et St. Helen's,
and containing mines of superior coal, and also beds of clay of great
value for pottery purposes. The whole of these flee estates are let
(with the exception of the parks and demesne farm, which are in
hand) to responsible tenants at moderate rents, and produce between
11,0001. and 12,0001. per annum, exclusive of royalties and rents re-
oeivable from coal mines, which must annually increase. The
limits of an advertisement will only admit of a brief outline of the
numerous natural and great local advantages of this most important
and splendid domain. The Mansion of Bold stands upon a flue ele-
vated part of the park, which contains about 600 acres, richly
sledded with noble timber, and sheltered by venerable oak woods of
the finest growth. Within the park are the remains of the ancient
hail, moated round, and which, from a period little later than the
Conquest, has been the seat of the maternal ancestors of the
present owner. The Sutton Estate possesses rare advantages ;
is intersected by the London and North-Western, and St. Helen's and
Runcorn Gap Railways, and, from its position and nature, its value
must be annually increased. The St. Helen's Coal-field, containing
an average thickness of 70 feet of coal, is believed to extend under a
considerable portion of the Sutton Estate ; part of such mines are
already in lease, and must bo the source of a vast revenue, The
' Sutton Station of the London and North-Western Railway is distant
about a mile from Bold Hall, affording easy access to all parts of the
kingdom. Warrington is distant from Bold 5% miles; Liverpool
only 14 ; Manchester, 20 ; and London, less than 200. The Bold and
Burtonwood Domains and Manors may be purchased without the
Sutton Property, which will probably be offered in lots.
For furtherpartieulara and cards to view the property, and to treat
for the purchase, apply at their Offices in Waterloo-place,
London. Particulars may also be had of Messrs. Rowson and Cross,
Solicitors, Prescot, Lancashire; or Mr. Alexander Bannerman, Land
Agent, South Cottage, Chorley.

TOWN MANSION, in WHITEHALL GARDENS, upon the Bank
of the Thames.

gardens, will be SUBMITTED to PUBLIC AUCTION shortly

ground-rent. The mansion is admirably arranged throughout

is hi most excellent repair, and immediate possession may
be had. The rooms are cheerful and airy, opening backward to a
lawn extending to the flyer, anti are of fine dimensions. From its
contiguity to the Houses of Parliament, St. James's-park, the Pa-
lace, and Downing-street, it is admirably suited for a Cabinet Mi-
nister or any leading Member of Parliament ; also for a first-rata
Club-house.

No person can view the house without a card of admission, which,
with every requisite information, may be had at their Offices in
Waterloo-place, Pall-mall ; or of Messrs. Ashileld and Clode, se.-

THE IRISH BAR.
(Continued from the Law Review.)
But we have strayed so long there we have scarcely
time for a stroll through the Four Courts. Yet it is
worth the trouble. The hall of that building is a
spacious circle, surmounted by a very beautiful dome,
beneath which were then daily collected all the Bar
bustlers, and all the idlers of Dublin. Let us suppose
ourselves there in the year 1806, (alai, forty years ago!)
and commence our introductions. And stop. Mark well
that slight, short figure, with restless gait and speaking
gesture—he with the uplifted face, obtruded under lip,
and eyes like living diamonds. See how the young men
cluster round him. Observe the spellbound gaze—hark
to the ringing laughter. That is Curran—the unique,
the wondrous, the inimitable Curran—who spoke as poets
in their inspiration wrote, and squandered wit with
Rabelais' profusion. Curran, whose words, merry or
mournful, as his country's music, commanded tears or
laughter at his bidding. Curran—in evil days erect
amidst the grovelling, pure amidst the tainted—in public
life the most consistent of patriots—in private, the
most social, exquisite, enchanting of companions.
Pass we away from him. Times never to return or
be forgotten. Hours to which his genius gave the wings
of angels, as bright and swift, and, sad to say, as tran-
sient in their flight, rise up
before me, and forbid aught
else to mingle with their memory. And 10, singularly
enough, here comes MacNally—Leonard MacNally— ,
Curran's junior in most of the State trials consequent
upon the dreadful "'98." We have lived to hear the I
question,—

" Wbo fears to speak of '9B r
Ido for one. I fear even to think of it. Accursed
year of blood and terror—of torture and conflagration—
of widows and of orphans! May Atcantiais of mankind
never be stained by such another! When the pitch-cap
and the triangle had done their work, and the drum-bead
courts-martial allowed the law to speak, MacNally
became prominent on the scene. His very appearance
fixed attention. Not naturally deformed, he yet seemed
so. He had the misfortune, it is said, to have all his
bones broken at one time or another. He parted com-
pany with both his thumbs, and either would not, or
could not, tell how ; the latter most probably, as he
always accounted for it, but never was there a tune
richer in variations. Ho had one leg longer than the
other, and one arm shorter, and limped like a witeh.
His eyes and voice pierced you like arrows;and served him
well in cross. examination. Had MacNally devoted himself
to literature, he would probably have been distinguished.
His opera of Rotiin flood, once very popular, still keeps
the stage. It was a common practice with the juniors
to play on his vanity respecting this production and the
vast sums it brought him. The wicked process was
this. They first got him to fix the aggregate amount,
and then, luring him into details, he invariably, by
third-nights and copy-rights, quintupled the original-
fhis was a good pendant to the way he lost the thumbs.
But the fault lay in the strength of his imagination
being greater than that of his memory. He was more
fortunate in his dramatic than in his legal lucubrations.
As his chief practice at the bar, at one time considerable,
lay in the criminal courts, he thought himself called on
to produce a law book, which resulted in the publication
of his " Justice of the Peace." This was meant to he
a practical work for the special guidance of the country
gentlemen. Eminently practical it soon proved to be.
Before six months elapsed most magistrates in Ireland
were personally familiar with the perfections of a writ.
It was a high treat to bear the author's cross-examina-
tion of one of the victim students. "In the name of
Heaven, my good man, what could have prompted you
to act in such a manner ?" " Prompted me Mr. Mac
Nally—Mr. MacNally, I'm more than astonished at you.
I acted on the authority of your own book." " Oh, my
dear Sir, I am humbly conscious of its too numerous
defects ; but I pledge myself to you to correct them all,
when—it comes to a second edition.'' MacNally's ori-
ginality and supposed patriotism rendered him an espe-
cial favourite with Curran. His was the last hand he
shook in Ireland previous to the visit to this country,
which terminated in his death. Associated intimately
in the treason trials, neither of them were supposed
particularly adverse to the cause which they defended.
Having mutually agreed not to enrol themselves in the
"lawyers' corps' organized at that period, Curran was
much surprised one morning at his friend's announce-
ment that he meant to become a member I " Have you
considered the risk you run, my dear Mac ?" said Cur-
ran. " What do I care for risks ? Who doubts my
courage ?" "No one who knows you ;—but the risk
you run is from mutiny,—from disobedience of orders.
You'll be shot. When the adjutant cries march,' you'll
unquestionably halt."

stumble on the right one! His grandest exploit,
heover
ever, in this line, took place at one of the assize towns
-
on his circuit. A murder, which caused much excite-
ment, had been committed, and he had to state the case
for the prosecution. In one hand, having a heavy cold,
he held a box of lozenges, and in the other the small
pistol ball by which the man met his death. Ever and
anon, between the pauses in his address, he kept supply-
ing
himself with a lozenge—until, at last, in the vr
middle of a sentence his breast heaving and his eyes
starting, a perfect picture of horror, Peter bellowed out
—" Oh—h—h, gentlemen—by the heaven above us—l've

orthography to convey the pronunciation—as to tho
manner, it is totally out of the question to attempt it.
It is gratifying to record that, through Lord Plunket's
friendship, the last days of Burrowes were those of ease
and contentment. About two years ago he died in
London, at the age of 90, in the enjoyment of 1,6001. a
year, the retiring allowance of an insolvent commis-
sioner. He and John Parsons, uncle to Lord Rosse,
were the first commissioners appointed in Ireland, and the
appointments were understood to have just come in time.
