particularly for trust money.
MESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON are
commissioned by the Noble Proprietor to SELL by AUC-
TION, at the Mart, near the Bank of England, on TUESDAY, June
22, at Twelve (unle%s an acceptable offer shall be previously made
by Private Contract),

The above very valuable ESTATE, freehold and tithe-free, a most
capital investment, and equally desirable for occupation, being close
to the town of Highworth, and within a few miles of two or three
other market towns, in a rich and highly picturesque country. The
farms, together nearly 800 acres, embrace a considerable portion of
meadow land upon the river, some rich upland pasture, excellent
dry turnip, and barley land, and a breadth of deep wheat
and clover land in the vale, affording a variety of corn,
stock, and dairy produce to meet the changes of the markets.
The buildings are of a very superior character, nearly all
of stone, and slated; and parts of the estate, particularly round
the principal house, are finely undulated, and studded with
handsome timber, chiefly elm. There are several cottages,
and in the centre of the town of Highworth some valuable pre-
mises for business, with house, garden, &c., which will form a
separate lot. Mr. Sharps, the present highly respectable tenant,
and his family, have been on the estate for above half a century,
and would be willing to take a fresh tease, his present tenantry ex-
piring at Michaelmas next.

The estate may be viewed, and particulars, with plans, may be
had, at the inns at Highworth, Faringdon, Swindon, &c. ; at the
Auction Mart ; of Messrs. Jones, Bateman, and Bennett, solicitors,
Lincoln's Inn ; of Messrs. Brovender and Trinder, surveyors, Ciren-
cester and of Messrs. Daniel Smith and Son, Waterloo-place,
of whom every information may be had.

WESTMINSTER.

Mr. Patrick O'Connor, son of Alderman O'Connor,
ex-mayor and a justice of the peace of Sligo, was charged
with using abusive and insulting language and behaviour
to Mr. John Patrick Somers, M.P. for Sligo, calculated
to provoke a breach of the peace.
The circumstances which led to the warrant being
issued were stated in our report of this court in our
paper of yesterday. The complainant having recapitu-
lated his charge, and his evidence being corroborated by
that of other gentlemen who witnessed the affair, the
magistrate called upon Mr. O'Connor fur any answer he
might wish to make to the charge.
The defendant then entered into a multiplicity of
statements bearing reference to pecuniary and other
transactions with the complainant, who had been, ac-
cording to his assertion, upon terms of the greatest in-
timacy with him.
Mr. BRODERIP, who bad frequently been obliged to
interrupt the defendant while attempting to detail cir•
cumstances that had no reference to the case before the
Court, ultimately adjudged him to give bail, himself in
1001., and two sureties in 501. each, to keep the peace for
twelve months.

In default of bail defendant was removed in custody.

THAMES.

A miserable looking young man, named Richard Scott,
was charged with earring on an illicit still at the
house, No. 11, Plummer's-row, the same being an un-
entered place.
From the evidence of Pargater and Key, both officers
of Excise, it appeared that from information they had
receiNed they went to the above house, and knocked at
the door. It was opened by a female, and on entering
the back parlour they found a still at work throwing off
strong spirits. There were also 100 gall.ns of molasses
wash in the front room, and a bladder of spirits ap-
parently ready to be taken away. '1 be prisoner, who
was in the room, denied all knowledge of the still, say-
ing, "he was only a lodger ; " bus he had his shirt
sleeves tucked up, and his trousers were perfectly satu-
rated with the wash.

The prisoner in his defence again reiterated his inno-
cence, declaring he was a spinner by trade.
Mr. BALLANTINE—Yes ; a ginspinner apparently.

The prisoner further declared that as to trousers
he had bought them of a man named Jones, who had run
away.
A sample of the spirits was produced, and was appa-
rently of a most deleterious nature.
The prisoner was fined 301., and committed in default
for three months.

THE LAND WE LIVE IN. Part I.

Although we have watched this interesting peri-
odical from its first appearance in weekly numbers,
just four weeks ago, we have refrained from comment-
ing upon its singular merits until the first monthly
part was completed. The notion from which the pub-
lication has originated is new and admirable. The

designate him as the distinguished instructor of the

most
striking characteristics observable in England,
so as to indicate in a vivid manner the pro-
gress of civilisation, the growth of science,
the improvements of the manners and customs of
the people, the natural peculiarities of the island, and
the artificial constructions by which it is externally
decorated, or by which its commerce and social inter-
course are materially advanced. The purpose of the
publication, however, may be better understood by
quoting the titles of the four chapters which have
already appeared, namely " The Road and the
Railway," " The Sail and the Steamer," " The
British Museum," and " Richmond." Even now,
therefore, it has acquired a remarkable degree of
diversity. Each disquisition is illustrated by en-
gravings from the pencils of distinguished artists ;
the first number depicting a pack horse train of the
seventeenth century, the travelling machine of 1750,
the turnpike of 1663, and the road waggon
of the last century ; the second number, containing
views of the Clyde near Dumbarton, of Queensberry,
of the Hoy Becalmed, and of a Steam-vessel on the
Thames ; the third, sketches of the old entrance to
the British Museum (a fragment of old London,
which, however unsightly, we shall regret to
see demolished), of the principal (new) front,
of the (new) quadrangle, of the (new) stair-
case, and of the Egyptian Gallery ; the fourth
is embellished, moreover, with pencillings of
Richmond from the Isleworth Meadows, the Park,
the Gateway of the old Palace, the view from Rich-
mond Hill, and Ham House. Eighteen beautiful
engravings in all, and appropriate letterpress, ele-
gantly and intelligently written !

As crowded with instruction and entertainment, as
vigorous in style, and as diversified in contents as
ever. We are not surprised to find the preference
given to Burns in a comparison drawn between that
glorious bard and Beranger, and however much we

genial glow of the nationality by which the pre-

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
A very
hither, coas!wise as well as by land carriage and sample,
moderate supply of English Wheat has arrived
since Monday. Owing to the very favourable accounts which
continue to reach us relative to the growing crops, and the
steady
demand on Wednesday was not observed to-day ;in fact, the
imports of Foreign Grain, the firmness ncticed in the
trade was excessively heavy, and,*to have effected sales, a
trifling reduction in value must have been submitted
to by. the holders. In Foreign Wheat, the imports
of winch this week have been about 10,000 quar-
ters, exceedingly little was doing, at late rates.
We had avery slow sale for Barley at barely stationary
prices. Malt was in good supply, and heavy demand, at
almost nominal figures. Oats, Beans, and Peas, as well as
the second qualities of Flour, might have been purchased at
lower terms.

THE KNIGHT OF GIVYNNE. Part XVIII.

By Charles Lever.
Forester, as Earl of Wallincourt, figures very
conspicuously in these chapters ; he is all solicitude
to afford assistance to the Darcy s. In hastening
towards Ireland for the purpose, he is, however,
detained at Bangor by a dangerous attack of
fever. His valet proceeds to Bicknell, at Dublin, for
the purpose of delivering important dispatches from
Lord Castlereagh, whereby the approaching trial
with O'Rielly may be frustrated against Dr. Hick-
man and his detestable relations. We are intro-
duced again to Freeney and :Hiss Daly; but
as yet no sign of Bagenal or the Knight. Next
month there will be of course a double number com-
pleting the fiction.

PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE; FEMALE

As has been visible heretofore in the periodical
publication of this serial, there is much discrimina-
tion in the arrangement of the different subjects.
The first work above-mentioned is composed of
certain recollections of sixteen years' hard labour
in the Australian backwoods. The second is a
collection of biographical notices of Elizabeth
Smith, Elizabeth Hamilton, Hannah More, and Mrs.
Grant of Laggan. We perceive that among the con-
tinuations that have recently appeared of works com-
menced in the Weekly Volumes, are the abbreviated
Lives from Plutarch.

ROYAL VICTORIA FELT CARPETING, manufactured
without nning or weaving. Patronized by her Most Gracious
Majesty, nd used in the• Royal Palaces. This description of carpet-
ing has now become one of the established manufactures of this
country. Its advantages are beauty of design (equal to Brussels),
imperviousness to dust, durability, and more especially economy, as
it can be purchased for less than half the price of Brussels. The
Patent Woollen Cloth Company, who are the sole manufacture rs
under the patent, having availed themselves of the rapid strides now
making in th, arts of design in this country, inform the trade that
their patterns for the present season are now out, and that they will
be found far in advance of all hitherto produced, and suitable for
every description of room and decoration. 'roe public can ha sup-
plied through their agents In nearly all the provincial towns in
England, Scotland, and Ireland, and at every respectable carpet

THE BANKER'S.

One of the principal features in this month's
number of the Banker's Magazine, is, as a matter of
course, the odious and miserable financial blunder of
Sir Robert Peel. Every alternate page displays in
conspicuous characters the words " Bank Restriction
Act," and these words are plentifully accompanied
by animadversions upon the reprehensible measure
they indicate. In speaking of the almost uni-
versal obloquy now showered upon the enactment
of 1844, one of the contributors to this commercial
periodical observes, that it was eulogised on its ori-
ginal introduction as an admirable scheme, by nearly
all the press, " with a very few exceptions." It
cannot be forgotten that among those very few ex-
ceptions, we ourselves were numbered from the very
outset. Speciously as the innovation upon banking
transactions was introduced by the then Prime Mi-
nister, we recognised in it, from the first, those
dilemmas and miseries and dangers which have re-
cently come to pass. We perceived and proclaimed
that the Bill was intended to direct the currency by
mechanical agency, when the agency was required
to he imist flexible and elastic. What has been the
result of experience in developing the influences of
the measure is tolerably well expressed in the follow-
ing sentences :
" The recent fluctuation in the rate of interest within
a few months, from two per cent. to twenty, has dispelled
the delusion they were under on this subject. They see
clearly enough that the Act, instead of equalising the
rate of interest and the value of money, must, whenever
its enactments come into effect, produce more violent and
sudden changes than could reasonably occur under a
system which would permit the exercise of wisdom and
part of those who have the practical
experience on. the
regulation of the rate of interest in their hands.
A lengthened and accurate report of the debate
upon this important subject in the House of Com-
mons is given in the June Number. The Magazine
continues to be the bold and temperate organ of the
banking world.

TYE MONTHLY RAILWAY RECORD.
With a characteristic likeness of the chairman of
the London and North Western Railway Company,
and a singular accumulation of information upon
railway matters, the present part is embellished (we
use the word advisedly) with a generous appeal to the
railway public—and a vast public it is, too ! —in
behalf of Thomas Gray. We quote the sensible and
reasonable proposition of the Railway Record:—
" The formation of a penny railway subscription, has
been suggested on the principle of a penny per pound on
the paid up railway capital of the country. Suppos-
ing the paid-up capital of established railway companies
to be somewhere about 46000. ,0001., a penny subscrip-
tion, as thus suggested, would yield 47,000,000 of pence;

SALES BY AUCTION.

HERTS.

The HIGH ELMS ESTATE, and other Lands, in the favourite and
picturesque part of the county, near Bushey, and midway between
Watfordand St. Alban's, and only Three Miles from the Railway

Station, bringing it within an hour's journey of London.
MESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON are
directed by the Executors of the late John Ryley, Esq., to
SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, near the Bank or England, on
TUESDAY, June 22, at Twelve, in Four Lots (unless an acceptable
offer shall be previously made by Priva'e Contract).

The above valuable and very desirable FREEHOLD and COPY-
HOLD ESTATES, comprising altogether about 280 acres, nearly
in a ring fence, and, particularly round the house, a sound, dry,
gravelly soil.

Lot. 1. Being the Mansion of High Elms, with its capital stabling,
walled garden, orchard, beautiful pleasure-grounds, with conserva-
tory, &c., surrounded by richly-timbered park-like lands, and an
excellent Farm, called Fortune's Farm, with heoper's and gardener's
cottages, &c., farm-house, and all necessary buildings ; about 170
acres, freehold,

•
Lot 2. Winch-hill Farm, in the parM of St. Stephen's, separated
merely by the road, and comprising about 90 acres of most useful
land (copyhold), with small farm-house and buildings, and the free-
hold great tithes.

Lot 3. A valuable Inclosure of Arable Land, of about 7 acres, with
an ornamental piece of wuo•i, upon the high road, offering a beautiful
site for building, and containing brick earth.
Lot 4, Two valuable Meadows and a Pasture and ornamental
Wood Land, containing about 16 acres.
Lots 3 and 4 are within a short distance of Lots 1 and 2, and
would be valuable acquisitions to either. The estate of High Elms
possesses many attractive features, and, from the undulation of the
lands and the ornamental clumps and belts of timber and plantations,
is capable of being easily formed into a beautiful little park. There is
an abundance of game on the estate, being surrounded by preserves,
and the mansion may be easily restored to its former elegance and
comfort.

Mr. Flinn will show the estate to parties with orders ; and parti
culars, with plans, may be s iortly had of him ; also at the Inns at
IVattord, St. Alban's, &c.; at the Auction Mart ; of Messrs, Walker,
Grant, and Co., solicitors, King's-roal, Gray's Inn ; and of Messrs.
Daniel Smith and Son, Land Agents, &c., Waterloo-place, Pall-mall.

THE FARMER'S MAGAZINE.

We agree entirely with the Farmer's Magazine,
that a deficient harvest or a recurrence of the potato
murrain would be productive of consequences the
very supposition of which is appalling : and we do
believe that if it be ever advisable to ad-
dress orisons to the Deity for any temporal
blessing, it is surely advisable to address such orisons
for the continuance of the present favourable and
magnificent weather. Upon the advantages that have
already resulted from the beautiful month of May
just terminated, the Farmer says :

" After rather a heavy fall of rain the temperature
rose gradually, and the moisture and warmth combined
have wrought an amazing alteration in the appearance
of the country. The spring-sown crops stand as well as
could possibly be desired. The wheat plant, though
still backward, wears a healthy and vigorous aspect, and
promises far better than could have been hoped, consi-
&ring the extreme length and severity of the winter.
Grass has grown amazingly, and all the green crops are
luxuriant. As far, therefore, as a judgment can be
formed at this early period, the harvest promises to be
abundant."

Earnestly is it to be hoped that all our hopes
in this respect may be realised. Although the writer
does not appear very sanguine as to the diminution
in the price of corn, before the time of harvest has
actually arrived, he still thinks that " under certain
combinations" wheat may easily decline 20s. or even
30s. per quarter. Unless it decrease more than this,
we shall yet have to pass through a severe, if not a
protracted, ordeal.

A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.

MR. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP-
TION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or
ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they will
never change colour or Cecay, and will be Mimi very superior to any
teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction
of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve
teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and
mastication; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within
reach of the most economical, he has fixed his charges at the lowest
scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastica-
tion.-52, Fleet-street. At Home from Ten till Five.

LE FOLLET.

We continue to be as much charmed as ever with
this unequalled brochure of the fashions. The coloured
plates are quite miniature paintings in their way, and
the anatomy of the figure is preserved under all the
alternations of costume. One engraving in the June
part is a garden scene, in which some little girls are
netting butterflies ; it is daintily done. Without
any question Le Fond is without a rival.
