Daventry, six from Weedon Station, about fourteen from the county
town, not far distant from Leamington, and within sight of War-
wickshire.

This famed property is briefly noticed in " Dugdale's Menitsticon "
as Catesby Nunnery, and since more particularly described in the
" Beauties of Northamptonshire ;" and to which the reader is re-
ferred. It presents strong claims to those who would invest with
security, and at the same time possess some feeling of admiration for,
and who know how to appreciate the charm and Importance con-
nezted with an estate possessing 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, _ _

nn 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 Numerous
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 and 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

hallowed spot of singular beauty, presenting a highly interesting
feature, the interesting village of Catesby, in all its pristine quietude,
being dose 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, encircled by a grove of finely
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 Hallidon, divided into
FIVE CONVENIENT FARMS,

each with suitable residences, the principal farm having a newly
erected abode, with capital buildings, let upon leases to a highly
respectable tenantry, and producing a rental exceeding 1,0001, a-year,
but there can be no question a considerable increase may be obtained.

M One half the world • are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
hitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health ahouldform an item
in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL' S littl
MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.e
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. Thoy arc not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by uttqualificd authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's

DISTILLATION FROM SUGAR.—This process has
been commenced on a large scale by Messrs. J. Stewart
and Co., at the Salted distillery, Paisley, an establish-
ment which was formerly in the habit of consuming the
greatest amount of malt of any single work in Scotland.
We learn that the Saueel Company are at present mash-
ing from forty to fifty tons of sugar per week. The spirit
produced is very pure and agreeable to the palate, but it
