Valuable Freehold Estate, within about Two Miles of the Railway
Statism at trenitvood.

MR. W. W SIMPSON has received peremp-
tory ihstttieriOni from the Mortgagees in possession, to
SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, London, in the month of July
next, in several Lots,
An exceedingly valuable FREEHOLD ESTATE, situated
in the beautiful parish of Southweald, In the county of Essex,
about two miles from the Railway Station at Brentwood. It
comprises a family mansion, with numerous officer, farm-house, cot-
tages, and agricultural buildings, together with 255 acres of very
convertible and productive arable and grazing land, the surface of
which is pleasingly undulated and ornamanted with fine growing
timber judiciously interspersed. A large proportion of the land is
pasture, well adapted for dairy purposes and sheep feeding, and the
arable land might be advant, geously applied to garden farming,
there being great facility for the conveyance of the produce to the
London markets. The Estate is surrounded by excellent roads,
arm well calculated for division into several occupations, there
being good farm buildings distributed over the property, and many
eligible building sites thereon, including a mound on which a
windmill originally stood. The attention of London and local
capitalists is especially directed to the present sale, which will af-
ford to buyers of various means an opportunity of investing with
unusual advantage and security, in a most desirable and im-
proving property, situate within an hour's journey of the me-
tropolis-

The property may be viewed on application to Mr. William
Jones, on the premises, of whom particulars may be had; as also,
of Messrs. -Norris and Son, Solicitors, 7, Lincoln's Inn ; at the
White Hart Inn, Brentwood; at the Mart; and of Mr. W. W.
Simpson, IS, Bucklersbury, London.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
rATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY.

So much anxiety is felt as to the settling for the Derby
and Oaks, that any regular betting is out of the question.
We will not prejudice the former by noticing the various
reports in circulation, nor need we occupy much space in
describing the other ; it is only necessary to state that
Lanercost is first favonrite for the Ascot Cup at. (takers
of) 2 to 1, that Bloomsbury is mentioned at 4 to 1 for
the same event, and St, Francis at 6 to 1. Little Won-
der is declared not to start for it.'

Tni DEnny.—The only bets we heard were 1,500 to
100 against Lord Jersey's Brother to Phoenix (Cobweb
colt), and 1,000 to 45 two or three times, against the
Artful Dodger.
London, England, 1841-06-01

METROPOLITAN MAGAZINE.

Mrs. Trollope's " Blue Belles of England" is
continued in the present number. The tale con-
tains some amusing drawing-room dialogues, and
a portrait of a sentimental young man of re-
markably refined taste and manners, of whom
the authoress says—after the most approved
fashion of the Minerva Library school of fiction
—" no one who ever heard him recite passages
from Petrarch, in the soft sweet whisper which
more resembled the fragrance-laden breathings
of Zephyrus, than mere human speech, could
doubt that Henry Mortimer was a man of
taste !" This sweet-voiced youth must have been
irresistible in a lady's boudoir. "The Idiot
Sailor-boy" is a clever naval story, from the
practised pen of the author of " Rattlin, the
Reefer." In "Spencer Middleton" we have one or
two graphic sketches of a young freshman's life at
Oxford—a tempting theme, but which Lockhart
has well nigh exhausted in his admirable story
of " Reginald Dalton." The " Memoirs of an
Italian Exile" give some spirited details re-
specting a skirmish with the Austrians, in the
late disastrous attempt at independence made
by the Carbonari against their oppressors.
Among the poetical contributions, there is an
epitaph, written by Thomas Campbell, on the
death of Mrs. and the Misses Shute, who, it
seems, were drowned when on a party of plea-
sure. We subjoin this epitaph, which, however,
is not in the author's best manner :

"In deep submission to the Will above,
Yet with no common cause for human tears ;
This stone, for the lost partner of his love,
And for his children lost—a mourner'rears.
One fatal moment, one o'erwhelming doom
Tore three-told from his heart the ties of earth,
His Mary, Margaret, in Their early bloom,
And her who gave them life:and taught them worth.
Farewell, ye broken pillars of my fate,
My life's companion, and my two first-born !
Yet with this silent stone I consecrate
To conjugal paternal love forlorn.
Oh ! may each passer-by the lesson learn,
Which can alone the bleeding heart sustain
When Friendship weeps at Virtue's funeral urn—
That, to the pure in heart, to die is gain;"

FRASER'S MAGAZINE.

The "Tracts for the Times," which
lately created such a sensation ainoni,„o. the Righ
Church party, forms the gtiliiinit of the first ar-
ticle in this number, Of course the writer is
averse to the views of the Tractarians as tending
directly to Popery; but we think he underrates
their influence, for there can be no question that
the famous Tract, No. 90, has caused as much
excitement in the religious world; as Wilkes's
North Briton, No, 4i3; Paused in MO political
world, some sOVenty Of eighty years ago. The
writer ooneludes by expressing his belief that
certain individuals of the Tract party will go over
to Popery, but that no great defection will take
place from the great mass of the clergy. " Dis-
sent in 1841" is an endeavour to prove that
heterodoxy is fast verging to itS leohiiie, and that
orthodoliy is as rapidly regaining all the influence
it has lost during the last century. This is cer-
tainly not the case, as regards the High Church
party ; while, as respects the Dissenters, we
believe that, both morally and numerically,
they are more powerful than ever. And the
conduct of the Puseyite faction will assuredly
not diminish their Infinance, which, we sup-
pose, the 1114Silli why the hierarchy regard
the proceedings of this stubborn section with
guelt distrust and apprehension. "My first.
Literary Adventure," is a common-place, re-
deemed from insipidity by the ingenious, spright-
ly manner in which it is worked up. It is a
small author): recollection of his first literary
perpetration in the shape of a small volume of
poems, which as a matter of course found no fa-
vour in the eyes of the bookseller to whom they
were presented for publication. " The Mystery"
is a fantastic legend, pretty much in the style of
the German ballad. It is as enigmatical as on', ,
of Hoffman's tales of dioblote.
"The "
a quiz upon
Associates" is e proceedings
of some of our moderr
scientific associations.
The author, how—fer, is unlucky in his subject,
for kBo '
..,as already exhausted the theme, in his
d(nmrable hoax, entitled the " Mudfog Associa-
tion," which appeared about two years ago in
Bentley's Miscellany. "A Newspaper's Editor's
Reminiscences" are pleasant Fossip, in which we
find some reminiscences of the early life of
the poet Shelley. As these contain nothing re-
markable, we forbear to quote them. " Memoirs
of Gormandizing" are from the fertile pen of Mr.
Titmarsh, who discourses on his dainty theme
with exceeding unction. His advice to his
readers never to neglect their dinner hour, what-
ever else they may neglect, is as judicious as it
is affectionate. " The man," says Dr. Johnson,
who had a becoming veneration for good eating
and drinking—" the man who neglects his din..
ncr, will soon come tq peglect higher Social clu-ties ;"—a sopiitl axiom, 4141 NVOrthy to be held in
in the course of his
lasting remembrance.

able property is bounded by the rivers Stour and Lyddon, and sur-
rounded by excellent roads ; it is well stocked with young timEer,

sianm," in Blachwood's Magazine I always
rather liked -the descriptions of eating in the
Noctes.' . They were absurdly erroneous in
many cases, but there was a manliness about
them and strong evidence of a great, though
mis-di:ected and uneducated, genius for victuals."
From the anecdotical article headed the "Greater
and Lesser Stars of Pall-Mall," we quote a remi-
niscence of George IV. towards the close of his
career :

A few weeks after this conversation with Mr.
to whom Iris Majesty was very partial, he seriously asked
him one night, as he was lying down upon his pillow,
" Now look in my face and tell me; O'Reilly,—and I
know you will answer me as an honest :man,—how long
do you think.' may vet be mad 6 to last ?"
" That is a question that I dare-nof -even think upon,
your Majesty ; much must depend upon yourself. A
steady observance of what is recommended by your Ma-
jesty's medical advisers, I should- venture to presume,
must be most beneficial:"

O'Reilly knew the habits of his illustrious patient too
well to place any reliance in his resolves.
For a vcry short space before his Majesty's decease—
only a few weeks, indeed—Mr. O'Reilly was in his bed-
chamber about ten at night, and had the honour to con-
verse familiarly and cheerfully with his Royal patient,
an honour which he frequently enjoyed at night. The
King, as all the Household knew, excepting latterly, was
condescending and most amiable to every one about him,
from ;,he highest to the lowest. In his infancy, during
his boyhood, in manhood, and even whilst the infirmities
of age and decrepitude seized upon his unwieldy frame,
his generous nature prevailed, and he was always de-
deservedly beloved.

His Majesty, late in his declining state, had held a con-
test with his physicians, and obtained the victory in part,
and was reluctantly permitted to sup on stewed chickens.
After these had retired from the Castle, Mr. O'Reilly
usually made his Majesty a visit ; sometimes for a few
minutes, and at others for an hour, more or less.

The King was sitting, propped up in his bed, on
this visit, and two small pullets were brought in, stewed
in rice and rich gravy, and smelling most savouryly.
" Now, O'Reilly, my excellent doctor," said his Ma-
jesty, " which you certainly are, as is known to all the
world, never mind those departed doctors, they arc a set
of prejudiced frumps, do let me have my favourite po-
tion" (wine, eggs, and spices) "to wash my sup-
per down. I only ask for a pint ;—a pint, my dear
O'Reilly, for me is so small a quantity, that I feel I can
take it without apprehension."

O'Reilly shoo Chis head, and observed :
" Oh, your Majesty might as well venture upon ask-
ing for a quart !"
Thank you !" quickly returned the King ; " then I
will have a quart !" and he ordered that quantity ae-
cor3ingly.
Having dismissed his supper, he drained the china
bowl of the gravy, in NI hied the chickens were served,
and observed—

" Now, O'Reilly, I feel as I ought, crop full, and shall
sleep comfortably."
Not so, alas ! the consequences of this rash indul-
gence had nearly proved fatal to the King before mornirg.

from this invention is, that these lenses are constructed on a princi-

than those now in common use; nor will they require the frequent

imperfect vision to the greatest nicety; they are found to preserve

SHOCKING MURDER.

KINNATTY, Nov. 16.--This town and neigh-
bourhood was thrown into a state of excitement
on Sunday last, by the announcement of a most
savage and brutal murder, which it was ascer-
tained, had recently been committed at the
finger-post of the Rushy Glen, King's County,
on the body of an unfortunate female named
Catherine Carroll. At au early hour yes-
terday morning, Mr. Dillon, one of the
County Coroners, arrived here on his way to
the scene of this barbarous atrocity, to hold
an inquiry into the melancholy circumstances
of the case. The great mass of evidence
adduced was of the strongest circumstan-
tial nature, and fixed the guilt on a person named
John Gorman, of Moher, in the Queen's County,
who was there amenable, and against whom a
verdict was recorded, when the Coroner con-
signed him to the custody of the police, for
transmission to Tullamore gaol, to abide his trial
at the next Assizes. He is a diminutive,
repulsive-looking man, having a wife and large
family of children. It appeared the ill-fated
female was far advanced in a state of pregnancy
by the prisoner. During the night of the Satur-
day before, footsteps of the accused and the de-
ceased were traced from his residence to the
scene of the murder in the glen. Here one
of the gamekeepers of the Castle Bernard
estates, immediately after daylight on Sun-
day morning, observed a quantity of blood,
footprints, and other marks on the road at
the cross, and from thence to the Rushy.
Glen Lough, in which he discovered the mu-
tilated body of the murdered female with
large stones thrown on it to prevent its floating.
This person described with clearness and pre-
cision the impression made by the right shoe of
the individual, whose steps led to and from the
lough, marking the size of the heel, the length
of the sole, and the number of nails it contained.
An active and intelligent policeman named
Brennan, from the Cadamstown station,
traced the footprints to, and about the resi-
dence of the accused, and ultimately suc-
ceeded in procuring the shoes, which were se-
creted in a neighbouring farm-house in the
Queen's County, which were proved to belong to
the prisoner, and which exactly corresponded
with the description of the impressions made.
In justice to this peaceable district, it will be
observed that this sanguinary and diabolical
murder is in no way connected with agrarian
outrage.—Leinster Express.
