ESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON are
11,,11 Commissioned by the Executors under the Will of the late
OTTI WELL WOOD, Esq., to SUBMIT TO PUBLIC S kLE, at

ber 14, at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot,
The above 'very valuable, beautifully compact, and attractive
PROPERTY, only five miles from York, with every advantage as
to society, hounds, game, and fishing; comprising above 1,309 acres
of highly-cultivated land, richly timbered, admirably enclosed, and
lying In a perfect ring fence between the Burlington and Hull roads
sod the river Dement, divided into six superior farms, with neat
substantial brick-built houses and homesteads, also several lodges
and cottages for keepers and woodmen. It offers a fine investment
for capital, but very considerable sums have been expended for
several years past in draining and planting, in the formation of
roads and pleasure drives, in new buildings, and otherwise im-
proving and embellishing
coming a residence ; the estate, with a view of its be-
and the site for a mansion was marked
out by the late Mr. Gilpin, in a central park-like paddock
of about 40 acres, in full command of its own beauti-
tiful woods, the church, and a bold mountainous range
of the distant Wolds. In connexion with this site various
ornamental plantations, with extensive diversified walks lead-
ing to the woods, have been formed with the utmost care, parti-
cularly an extensive arboretum full of the most curious mid
valuable coniferous plants, beautiful thorns, &c., containing
almost every variety of tree and shrub which will thrive in this
climate. There is a small shooting box on this spot, with dog-
kennels, coach-house, and stable, and an American garden in
one of the woods. The Importance and attractions of the pro-
perty consist in its extent, compactness, improvable soil, rich
pastures, on the river, and its remarkably thriving oak woods ; that
,it is tithe-free and freehold (except a few acres), and also in its
delightful seclusion, though only five miles from York, without a road
across it. The shooting is first-rate, although the rabbits have been
destroyed for the sake of the farms and woods, and stock of hares
greatly reduced.
The estate may be viewed by application to Mr. Johnson, at
Scoreby; and descriptive particulars, with plans, may be had on the
premises ; at the chief Hotels at York, Beverley, Hull, Derby, Man-
chester, &e. ; at the Auction Mart, London ; of Messrs. Lightfoot,

been commissioned by the Noble Proprietor to announce
that this truly important and highly distinguished FREEHOLD
ESTATE will be SUBMITTED to PUBLIC SALE at the
Mart, on TUESDAY, Sept. 21, at Twelve (unless an acceptable offer shall

especially visited by Queen Elizabeth, and as the residence of the
renowned Hampden, and comprises a splendid domain of about 4,600
acres, embracing a romantic portion of the fine healthy Chiltern
Hills and of the rich vale beneath, stretching to within a few miles
of the several surrounding towns of Missenden, Wendover, Aylesbury,
Princes ltisborough, and nigh Wycombe. The mansion is a grand
feature in the county, amidst the wood-crowned heights of Hampden,
opening with south and east aspects through noble avenues (one
still known as Queen Elizabeth's Gap) to the surrounding vale. It pos-
sesses capital stabling, good gardens, &c., but it is a place of compara-
tively small expense. The park is superbly timbered, and the woodlands
are remarkably thriving, and form beautiful broken links in the
surrounding diversified scenery. The farms are all let at Very low
rents to a respectable tenantry. There are keepers' and woodmens'
lodges, and numerous superior cottages. The manors are extensive,

sonage, and the tithes of some adjoining estates, appertain to the

nument of Hampden, is near the house : and it is the wish of the
noble proprietor to transfer with the mansion (with a few unimpor-
tant exceptions), the whole of its highly interesting and ♦aluable
effects, the greater part being connected with its historical and
other associations. Such a property, viewed as to its substantial
value, numerous beauties, and interesting appendages, is but rarely

THE MONUMENT'S SOLILOQUY.
On Fish-street-hill I stand, and gaze around
On London's City, with its scenes surprising,
And while I listen to each hu-y sound,
I really cannot help soliloquising.
Here have I rises, since the conflagration
Which spread its flames in Sixteen-sixty-six,
Aad many are the scenes for observation,
On which at dyers times I've had to fix.
I've seen the establishments of trade arising,
And launching speculations great and small,
And now I witness MOSES' mart surprising,
The undisputed rival of them all.

In London's City much arrests attention,
But, by Sir Christopher, I do avow,
That Messrs. MOSES claim the greatest mention,
For ne'er has London seen Weir Ike till now.

I've noticed MOSES' trade in all its channels,
I've seen their garments elegantly smart,
And 'lts my tlrm beliet that London's annals
Ccauain no record of so great a mart.

On Fish-street-hill I stand and gaze around
On all that London's trading scene discloses,
But not a single object hav'e 1 found
More wondrous than the princely house of MOSES.

A It A E.
31 One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, qttestienably 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-
comprosimf, hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
sod social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health shouldform 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 little
MEMOIRS " On Single and 31arried Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. Gd. each). Let no imaginatively
relined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
by misinterpretatior of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, le whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put firth on
the above subjects, by triqualitied authors, whieh alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. Gd.) 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 scribblinge of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who ewes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—t 3 do unto others as he
would be done unto—te live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row ; Carvalho, 147, Fleet•street ; Mann,
39, Cornhill ; Nelson, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other-
wise) from • the author (who may be conferred with personally,

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.--NO little surprise has
been created here within the past day or two by a
most extraordinary and incomprehensible circum-
stance, which has thrown some hundreds of men out
of work, and, as a necessary consequence, created con-
siderable disturbance and alarm in those neighbour-
hoods where the workmen mostly reside. We allude
to the sudden suspension of those vast works connected
with the extension of the docks and the new steam
basin abutting on the new buildings, Portsea, and
contiguous to the dockyard artillery battery, well
known as " the laboratory field," on which spot are
being erected a new infantry barrack for 1,000 men,
a Lew jetty, or landing-place, for the public (the Go-
vernment having taken the old one into the dockyard
works), and other highly important buildings con-
nected with the dockyard and arsenal, and their de-
fences, involving the expenditure of some hundreds of
thousands of pounds, and giving employment to
several hundreds of men daily. So extraordinary
a circumstance was well calculated to injure the
credit of the contractor, but we are happy to
say that that gentleman (Mr. Peter Rolt), al-
though most seriously wronged by the sudden
and unexpected order to suspend the labour upon
the works, is not in any way responsible for the
act. We have from time to time reported upon the
various inspections made of these works and others in
progress by the Lords of the Admiralty on their
official and private visits, each one more satisfactory
than its predecessor to their Lordships. These works
have been by each Government, since they were com-
menced, urged on to completion by every means
available to the vast resources of the contractor, and
that gentleman has applied all the ingenuity at his
command to meet the wishes of his employers,
but all seems to have been thrown away. Some
sudden check has been given from some quarter we
cannot arrive at, the materials on the ground are
to be covered up, the labour has been suspended, and
some hundreds of artizans of all grades are thrown
out of employment, with winter rapidly approaching
them.
The Kite, steam-transport, Master Commanding
George Filmer, and the Netley tender, arrived here
to-day with marines from Plymouth. The Kite sailed
again for Plymouth this afternoon.
The Princess Royal transport, Lieutenant William
C. Harris, agent, sailed this afternoon for Woolwich.
The Cambrian, 36, Captain J. 11. Plumridge, is
progressing much more favourably in her equipment
than could have been anticipated, considering the very
small number of her working hands. She has her
lower and topsailyards across, topgallantmasts pointed
through, and her lower rigging sparred down for rat-
tling. A considerable portion of her running gear is
also rove.
The Trincomalee, 25, Captain R. Warren, is
making great progress. lier sails are bent, and she
is to be at Spithead by the 12th inst. Her armament
is to be similar to that of the Amphitrite—namely, ten
68-pounders, fourteen 32-pounders, and a large pivot
gun aft; all long guns. As soon as the dockyard
men have done with her she will be ready to leave
the harbour.
The officers and men who were employed in navi-
gating the Comet and Swallow steamers to this port
have been sent, by the Mercury tender, to South-
ampton, for a passage to Holyhead and Dublin by
the Irish line steamer. The Comet has received new
boilers, and is again quite ready for service. Mr
Switzer, Master's Assistant, who was left in the
vessel at Holyhead, to see to her fitting and take
charge of the vessel, brought her round, all the other
officers being away in the Fire Queen.
Extract of a letter from the Collingwood, 80, flag
of Rear-Admiral Sir G. Seymour, dated Callao, July
11 :—" We expect to be in England in about eight
months. We do not expect to sail from Callao until
the beginning of September, when we proceed to
Valparaiso to have a thorough refit, previous to sailing
round Cape Horn for England The Cormorant
steam-sloop, Commander Seymour, sailed from Arica,
on or about the Bth of this month, with a freight for
England, vid Valparaiso. The Pandora and Herald,
surveying-ships, are each refitting, prior to sailing to
the northward. The Juno, 26, having repaired
damages sustained in a hurricane, is again ready for
service. The Admiral and family are well. The
Admiral will go on the 13th instant for a cruise in
the Sampson steam-frigate of about three weeks."
The Recruit, 12 (iron), Commander Slade, is said
to be a sad failure. She will not sail more than from
five to six knots per hour. One side of her bottom
is as smooth as new iron, having been coated with
Hay's composition ; the other side is very . foul,
having weeds from two to three feet long adhering to
it. This side was coated with red lead.
WOOLWICH, SEPT. 9.—The Antelope steam gun-
vessel, recently built at Blackwall and made ready
for sea at Chatham, arrived yesterday at Woolwich
to take on board carriages and stores, and is ex-
pected to leave to. morrow for the Mediterranean
station.
The Porcupine steam surveying vessel, Captain
Bullock, recently employed in conveying meal to the
western islands of Scotland, arrived at Woolwich
yesterday afternoon.
The Charon steam-vessel has had her boilers re-
paired, and left this morning for Chatham.
The Oberon steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander
Gardner, will leave for Chatham to-day. Her arma-
ment-is to consist of one 32-pounder of 42 cwt., and
two 32-pounders of 17 cwt. each.
The Hecate steam-vessel was taken out of dock
to- day, and the Acheron steam-vessel taken in to be
examined.
The Marion, hired vessel, left yesterday afternoon
with exiles for Van Diemen's Land and Port Philip.
A number were brought down from Milbank Peni-
tentiary and from the Model Prison at Pentonville.

ELECTION OF SCOTTISH PEERS.
On Wednesday the election of the 16 Representa-
tive Peers for Scotland took place in the picture gal-
lery of the Palace of Holy rood, in Edinburgh. The
attendanee of peers was greater than has been the
case fur some time, there being 31 noble lords pre-
sent. The galeric,ss presented an unusually gay
appearance, and were crowded in every part. The
election was looked forward to with considerable in-
terest, in consequence of its being known that the
Earl of Dundonald (who was recently restored to
the honours of the Bath) was a candidate; and a
number of strangers had come from a distance, in
order to be present at the proceedings. Principal
Lee- and the Rev. Dr. Robert Lee attended as deans
of the Chapel Royal ; and Messrs. Russell and Lind-
say, principal clerks of session, acted as deputies to
the Lord Clerk Registrar. Messrs. Bruce, of Lang-
lee, and Nimmo, depute clerks of session ; Shiel and
Carmichael, assistant clerks of session ; and Mr.
Robertson, keeper of the general records, were also
present ; as were also the Lord Provost, Bailies

rMack, Duncan, Ritchie, and Tullis; Treasurer Thom-
son, and Convener Cushnie. At a few minutes to
tw;lve o'clock the Duke of Buccleuch, followed by
the Duke of Athol!, entered the room and took their
places at the head of the table appropriated to the
peers. They were quickly followed by the -other
peers. Principal Lee then offered up an impressive
prayer, after which business proceeded.
Mr. RUSSELL having read the proclamation order-
ing the election of the representative peers for Scot-
land, said that he had in his hand a commission
granted by the Earl of Dalhousie, Lord Clerk Regis-
trar, to Mr. Lindsay and himself, as principal clerks
of session, to officiate on this occasion.
Mr. LINDSAY then proceeded to call the roll of
peers. He had only read one or two, when
The Duke of BUCCLETICII rose and said, that the
clerk-lad departed from that which had hitherto been
the practice at meetings for the election of Scotch
representative peers, by reading a new list, different
from what had hitherto been read and called. He
thought it right to take notice of this fact, and that
the clerks should state to their Lordships on what
authority they had so altered the list they were now
calling.
Mr. LINDSAY said, that the list which he was call-
ing over was the great roll of the Peers of Scotland,
omitting, in terms of the recent statute, which he
held in his hand, those proxies in right of which no
vote had been received or counted since the year
1800. Mr. Lindsay then read the statute to which
he referred. After having done so, he said that he
thought it right to mention also that the roll which
he would now call was taken with great care from a
roll authenticated and certified by the present Lord
Clerk Registrar. Mr. Lindsay then resumed the
calling of the roll.
On coming to the Earls, which commenced with
that of the Earldom of Crawford,
Mr. RUSSELL said that he was directed by the Earl
of Mar to read a protest. Mr. Russell then read the
protest, which in substance protested against any
Scotch earl's name being called before his, as he
maintained that the earldom of Mar was the most
ancient Scotch earldom.
Lord BELHAVEN said that he was instructed by the
Earl of Sutherland to protest against the name of any
earl being called before his. The protest of the Earl
of Sutherland was also read.
The Duke of BUCCLEUCH said that he heard the
name of the Marquis of Annandale called. Now, he
protested against that title being called, inasmuch as
that peerage had been dormant since the year 1792,
and no person had made good his right to it. He did
this as a matter of form.

Mr. LINDSAY said, that the statute admitted of its
being called. He then proceeded with the calling of
the list, but on reading the name of the Earl of Stir-
ling was interrupted by
The Duke of Bocci.mica, who protested against
the calling of that title for the same reason that he
protested against that of Annandale.
The Earl of ROSEBERY said, that he begged to state
that he adhered to the protest which the Duke of
Buccleuch had given in, both with respect to the title
of Annandale and that of Stirling.
On the name of the Earl of Balcarras being called,
a protest was given in, in the name of that nobleman,
;o the effect that any vote which he should give at
;his election should not prejudice or affect his right to
the older dignity of the Earl of Crawford, his claims
to which are now pending in the louse of Lords.
Mr. LESD3AY having called the name of Viscount
Primrose,
Th.! Earl of BOMBAY said, that the title had been
called to-day in consequence of his having, inadver-
tently, at an election a few years ago, answered to it,
under the belief, at the time, that it was merged in
one in virtue of which he had the honour of sitting
and voting with their Lordships. He was, however,
now thoroughly convinced that the title was extinct ;
and he regretted that it had been called to-day. He
wished to be allowed to enter on the minutes that he
held it to be an extinct peerage, and that it ought
not to be called, either on this or on future occasions.
The calling of the names was then proceeded with.
After the clerk had read several,
The Duke of BUCCLEUCH rose and said, that he
thought it right to take this opportunity of remarking
that he observed two or three names had not been
called, certainly titles which had merged in other
titles. For instance, that of the Earl of Ancrum,
which had merged in that of the Marquis of Lothian.
(Several Peers here remarked to the Noble Duke that
the name of the Earl of Ancrum had been called.)
The name of Lord Cardross had not been called. He
mentioned it particularly, because he recollected a
few years ago the Earl of Buchan answered to it, and
signed his name Buchan and Cardross.
Mr. LINDSAY said that they were unfortunately
obliged to go only by the written documents of the
election. They would be obliged to any of their
Lordships who would inform them of any such cir-
cumstances similar to that just mentioned by the Duke
of Buccleuch.
The Earl of DUNDONALD wished to know whether
he could act with Lord Napier's proxy, that Noble
Lard being at present abroad ?
The Earl of ROSEDERY said that the Noble Earl
had applied to him on the subject, as he had the
honour of introducing into the House of Lords the
Bill for affording facilities to Peers abroad voting at
this election without being under the necessity of
coming home. Now, for his information, and also
for the information of other Noble Lords, he might
state that the Bill passed the Lords, but was suspended
in its progress through the Commons, and therefore
that it was not the law of the land.
On the name of Lord Colvill, of Ochiltree, being
called.
The Duke of BUCCLEUC II rose and protested against
the calling of the title, seeing that it had been dor-
mant certainly since the year 1782. It was received
here under protest upon a late occasion; and he now
protested in his own name, and the names of those
who might adhere, against the person assuming the
title of Lord Colvill, or Lord Colvill of Ochiltree,
being allowed to vote here.
Lord Convinn, of Ochiltree, who was sitting at
the foot of the table, here rose, and read some ex-
tracts, which were quite inaudible, from the statutes
affecting the question, in vindication, as we under-
stood, of his right.
The Duke of ATUOLL seconded the protest.
Mr. LINDSAY then read over the list of their Lord-
ships' names who were present, which was as fol-
lows :—The Dukes of Buccleuch and Queensberry,
Atholl, Montrose ; Earls of Morton, Eglintoun,
Home, Haddington, Lauderdale, Airlie, Carnwath,
Leven and Melville, Selkirk, Dundonald, Orkney,
Rosebery, Glasgow ; Viscounts Stormont, Dun-
blane, Strathallan ; Lords Saltoun, Gray, Cathcart,
Elphinstone, Blantyre, Colville of Culross, Forress
ter, Elibank, Belhaven, Rollo, Colvill of Ochiltree,
Polwarth-31.
When the name of Lord Colvill, of Ochiltree, was
read, the Duke of Buccleuch handed in his protest
against votes from the person assuming the title of
Lord Colvill, ;or Lord Colvin of Ochiltree, being re-
ceived or tendered, stating that he should not be al-
lowed to vote either here or at future elections until
he had proved his title in the House of Lords.
The protest was signed by the Duke, and by a
great number of other Peers.
The oaths of allegiance, abjuration, and supremacy
were then administered to the Peers, and were handed
round and signed by them.
The list of their Lordships present was again called
over, for the purpose of receiving their votes.
The
r
next thing done was to call for the proxies ; after
which the signed list sent by absent peers were,i
treiemaed..
This was a process which occupied a consid rat h ,
at its conclusion the names of the sixteen peers tat
had been elected as representative peers for Scotland
in the next Parliament were announced as follows,
with the number of votes for each :
Marqus of Tweeddale... 53 Viscount Stra
55
thallan... 54
Earl of Morton ... 54 Lord Saltoun . .
Earl of Home 54 Lord Gray 51
Earl of Airlie ..• ... 51 Lord Sinclair ... ... 50
Earl of Leven & Melville 56 Lord Elphinstone ... 54
Earl of Selkirk ..• ... 53 Lord Colville,of Culross 53
Earl of Orkney ... 50 Lord Rollo ... ... 49
Earl of Seafield ... 53 Lord Polwarth 53
The only alteration in the above list from that of
the representatives of the Scotch peerage in the late
Parliament is the substitution of the names of Lord
Elphinstone and Lord Rollo for those of Viscount
Arbuthnott and Lord Roy.

The following are the names of the noblemen who
sent proxies :—The Duke of Lennox, to Lord Sal-
toun ; the Duke of Argyll, to Lord Belhaven ; the
Duke of Sutherland, to Lord Belhaven ; the Earl of
Cassilis, to the Earl of Eglintoun ; the Earl of Aber-
deen to the Earl of Morton ; the Earl of Stair, to
the Earl of Rosebery ; Viscount Falkland to the Earl
of Rosebery ; Lord Sinclair, to the Earl of Eclintoun
Lord Napier, to the Earl of Dundonald-9. -
In the case of Lord Napier, the proxy could not
be used, the Noble Lord being abroad.
The following Peers voted by signed lists :—The
Dukes of Hamilton, Roxburghe ; the Marquis of
Iluntly, the Earls of Mar and Kelly,- Moray, Gal-
loway, Kinnoul, Dumfries and Bute, Wemyss and
March, Dalhousie, Balcarres, 13readallane, Seafield ;
Lords. Somerville, Torphichen, Cranstoun, and Kin-
naird-17.
A curious incident occurred in connexion with the
signed list sent in by Lord Cranstoun. Among the
Peers for whom his Lordship voted was LordCol-
ville, without specifying whether Lord Colville of
Culross, was meant, or Lord Colvill of Ochiltree. A
discussion arose as to which of the two names the vote
was to be set against. Lord Colville, of Culross, said
that there could be no doubt that his friend Lord
Cranstoun intended to vote for him. The Duke of
Buccleuch said, that he had examined the oaths that
each of their Lordships had signed, and especially the
way in which the signatures of Lord Colville, of
Culross, and the person who claimed the title of Lord
Colvill, of Ochiltree, were made. Now, he found
that the signature of Lord Colville, of Culross, had
an eat the end of it, whereas that of the person
claiming the title of Lord Colvill, of Ochiltree, was
spelt without an e at the end. Lord Cranstoun, in
his list, spelt the name of Lord Colville with an e at
the end of it ; and, in these circumstances, he pre-
sumed there could be no doubt that Lord Cranstoun
meant to vote for Lord Colville, of Culross.

Several Peers having expressed opinions similar to
those of the Duke of Buccleuch, but at the same
time stating that the matter must be left to the deci-
sion of the clerks, Mr. Lindsay said that lie and Mr.
Russell wished to be allowed to consider the subject
for a few minutes.

After consulting with Mr. Russell a short time,
Mr. LINDSAY said, I have to express the deep re-
gret we feel in announcing what we conceive to be
our duty on this occasion, which may perhaps go,
and in fact does so, against our own sense of what is
meant. We sincerely believe the statement made by
Lord Colville, of Culross, to be correct, namely, that
the vote was intended for him; but we are constrained,
by the position in which we are placed, to an ad-
herence to the roll ; and on that roll there is a Lord
Colvill without express condition or qualification, and
there is a Lord Colville, of Culross. We receive this
vote without qualification or condition, and are con-
strained to receive it for Lord Colvill only.
The Duke of I3uccLEucit protested against this,
the more particularly as it had been stated by the
clerk at the table that it was the feeling of himself
and Mr. Russell that this vote of Lord Cranstoun's
was intended to be given for Lord Colville, of Culross.
This was a very important case, and one which he
could not pass over without taking notice of. Not
only had the clerks stated who was the person for
whom they intended to record this vote, but they also
stated that they recorded it contrary to their opinion
of the person for whom they believed it was intended
to be given.
Mr. LINDSAY then asked permission-to state that
he held in his hand a signed list for Lord Reay,
which they could not receive, in consequence of there
being no evidence of his Lordship being qualified by
having taken the prescribed oaths.
We may mention that the following peers voted
for the election of the Earl of Dundonald :—Duke of
Argyll, Marquis of Huntly, Earl of Sutherland, Earl
of Stair, Earl of Breadalbane, Earl of Carnwath,
Earl of Glasgow, Viscount Dunblane, Lord Elibank,
Lord Torpichen, and Lord Cranstoun.
The proceedings were concluded about half-past
three, having occupied upwards of three hours.
In the evening the Peers entertained a numerous
party of friends at a sumptuous dinner in Gibb's
Royal Hotel, Prince's-street. Among the company
present were the Lord Provost and magistrates.
