A MOST INTERESTING ANCIENT MANORIAL ESTATE,
FREEHOLD of IN CATESBY ABBEY,
situated in a beaut ful part of Northamptonshire, four miles from
Daventry, six from Weedon Station, about fourteen from the county
town, not tar distant from Leamington, and within sight of War-
wickshire.
Thl- famed uroperty is briefly noticed in " Duglale's Monastivn "
as Cateshy Nunnery, and since more particularly described in the
" Beauties of Northamptonshire ;" and to which the reader is re-
ferred. It pr,sents strong claims to those who would invest with
security, and at Cie same time possess some feeling of admiration for,
and who know how to appreciate the charm and importance con-
nezted with an estate poss,,ssing so many interesting relics of an-
tiquity, and since that period the true stamp of the good old English
time. The first object of importance to be noticed is
THE ANCIENT MANOR HALL,
an abode of singular pretension, erected with due regard to dura-
bility, placed in the centre of the domain, and commanding from its
front a quiet, picturesque, and lovely scene. It is a quaint and sin-
gular building in stone, of a very early period, containing aumerous
lofty and well-proportioned chambers, many of them enriched with
fine old carved oak, offering every accommodation for a large family,
which, if assisted by a tasteful c‘nd judicious outlay for embellishment
and furniture, in accordance with its character, a residence not only
of the first importance but of extraordinary attraction would be
obtained.
A PORTION OF ONE WING IS DEVOTED TO A CHAPEL,
DULY CONSECRATED,

fitted up with carved oak pulpit, reading-desk, and pews, and con-
stantly used for Divine service. The offices are numerous, and open
to A spacious court-yard, opposite to which is a capital range of
stabling, coach-houses, &c. A pleasure garden of some extent is In
front, and a
ROOKERY, WITH A BEAUTIFUL GROVE OF LOFTY LIMES
close to the mansion, whilst a road through
A NOBLE AVENUE OF STATELY ELMS,
leads to an ancient cemetery, and the ruins of a chapel, a time-
hallowed spot of singular beauty, presenting a highly interesting
feature, the interesting village of Catesby, in all its pristine quietude,
being close at hand, forming no small addition to the importance and
rental of the estate. Several fish-ponds adorn the grounds, particu-
larly one of considerable promise, encLreled by a grove of fineli
grown trees, where numerous wild-fowl congregate, and a never-
failing supply of fish is obtained.
THE DOMAIN INCLUDES 646 ACRES OF FIRST-RATE LAND,
principally the richest pasture, well supplied with water, and several
woods, affording excellent preserves for game, in the parishes of
Catesby and liallilon, divided into
FIVE CONVENIENT FARMS,
each with suitable residences, the principal farm having a newly
erected Abode, with capital bu idings, let upon leases to a highly
respectable tenantry, and producing a re..ta' exceeding 1,000/, a-year,
but there can be no question a considerable increase may be obtained.
The annual value, whit the mansion house and land attached to It,
being estimated under the most adverse times for a farmer, at more
than 1,5001. A YEAR,
including the manorial rights and other sources of profit; and the
Estate is free from LAND-TAY and TITHE
Mr. Robins cannot close this announcement without calling, upon

THE LATE MELANCHOLY ACCI-
DENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-
WESTERN RAILW A Y.

ADJOURNED 'CORONER'S INQUEST.
WOLVERTON, FRIDAY NIGHT.—This morning, at nine
o'clock, Mr. J. W. Cowley, coroner for Buckingham-
shire, and the jury empanelled on Monday last, to in-
quire into the circumstances attending the late melan-
choly accident near the Wolverton station, re assembled
in the boys' school-room, a large building in the vicinity
of the station, for the purpose of proceeding with the in-
vestigation.
The inquiry excited the greatest possible interest, and
the school-room was crowded with the most respectable
inhabitants of the district.
Captain Simmons (of the Royal Engineers) attended
to watch the case on behalf of the Board of Trade,
and among the officials of the company present, we ob-
served Captain Iluish, general manner; Mr. IL P.
Bruyeres, superintendent; and Mr.
J. E. M'Conneli,
superintendent of the locomotive department of the
railway.
Mr. F. L. Barnwell, of the firm of Messrs. Parker and
Co., solicitors to the company, was also present.
Mr. Joseph Payne (of the Old Bailey bar) attended to
watch the case on behalf of the relatives of Mr. Miller,
one of the deceased parties.
The jury having answered their names, police-con-
stable Fossey was led into the room in custody, upon
which
A plan of the vicinity of the station, showing an ac-
curate representation of the as they appeared
immediately after the accident
• was put in.
After some preliminary remelts the investigation was
commenced with the examinatioii.of:
William Manners, who deposed as follows .—I reside
at No. 4, Ferdinand-street,
jiarapistead-road, and am an
engine-driver in the service of the North-Western Rail-
way Company. I have been in tbe,zeompany's employ
between two and three years. OrPeaturday, the sth
inst., I drove the engine No. 153, attached to the Liver-
pool night mail train, which ought to peeve the Euston-
square station at 45 minutes past eight. It was about
54 minutes past eight when we left on the night in ques-
tion. Our train consisted of nineteen carriages, va-
riously composed of luggage vans and first and second
class carriages. On the night of the accident we called
at the Watford and Tring stations before arriving at
Wolverton. At Tring we were three or four minutes
behind our proper time. The lamps were put on my
engine properly before leaving the Euston station.
There were three lamps altogether—one white lamp on
the buffer, one on the tender, showing a white light
forward and a red light backward.
The Foreman said he saw by Regulation No. 2 that
the buffer lamps ought to be capable of showing three
colours—white, red, and green.
The witness said that was so, but the lamp on the
buffer of his engine on the night in question was out of
repair, and could not be made to show either a red or
green surface. _

ConoNEß—You say the lamp was out of repair on
the night in question. Let me ask you do they keep
alight generally pretty well ? Witness—They some-
times go out. The buffer lamp, however, much less fre-
quently than the others.
Examination resumed—On the night in question all
went well until we arrived at Wolverton. The night was
very dark and wet, but I saw the white signal a quarter
of a mile before arriving at the bridge where the acci-
dent occurred. I had slackened speed about a mile be-
fore arriving at the bridge.
A reference to the plans was here made, and a long
discussion ensued between the coroner and jury, at the
close of which—

The wituess continued—l opened the whistle and
shut the steam off about two hundred and forty yards
before arriving at the bridge, when I saw the policeman's
green hand signal, and immediately put the breaks both
on the tender and the engine. The white light was on
the signal post at this time, signifying that all was right
ahead.
