BEVOIS MOUNT, SOUTHAMPTON.
ELEGANT MARINE MANSION, with PARK and PAD-
DOCKS of 108 Acres of fine Land in a ring fence, orna-
mented with magnificent Timber, and Pleasure Grounds of

unrivalled beauty.
nR. NIGHTINGALE has been honoured
with directions from the Executors of the late Mrs.
S. HUTTON, deceased, to SELL by AUCTION, at the
Mart, on TnESPAY, June .93, at Twelve,
- That important and highly valuable FREEHOLD ESTATE,
known as BEVOIS or BEVOIS MOUNT, comprising a ca-
pital and first-rate Mansion, with Offices, Park, Padlocks,
Pleasure-grounds, Cottages, and Gardens, in all exceeding 108
acres of land, in a ringifence, situate upon the hill at the present
extremity of the town, within the county of the town of South-
ampton, at the point of separation of and lying between the two
roads from thence to the city of Winchester, the principal
Lodge entrance to the estate being through a noble arch on
the Avenue-road, at the one mile stone from the Bar-gate at
Southampton, 11 miles from Winchester, 17 from Portsmouth,
and 74 from London. The Mansion, which is of a very supe-
rior class, remarkably substantially built, of handsome eleva-
tion, with most admirable interior arrangements, in perfect
order, having undergone thorough reparations only four years
since, at an expense of several thousand pounds, is judiciously
placed near the centre of the estate, and commands most
beautiful views of this justly admired county, including
the Lie of Wight, the New Forest, and the Southamp-
ton Water ; the entrance thereto is from the west, under a stone
portico, into a spacious Entrance-hall with Reception Rooms
on either side thereof, a suite of three well-proportioned Rooms
in the south front extending 97 feet in lei:gth and opening into
'fisvteenCeesllatarisreoanseth, eleßadaisretg-
a Conservatory, various other Rooms Water Closet, and
very ohnanteiGmeroGuneedinFeltoroiera;l
mtoeantsp;lendid Boudoir, 31 feet long with covered ceiling, and
Do-
mestic Officesa
opening to a Stone Gallery with a veranda, four principal Bed-
rooms with Dressing-rooms, nine capital Bed-rooms, a Bath-
room, two Water Closets, and Store-rooms, &c., on the first
floor ; Servants' Apartments and Closets on the upper floor.
The detached Offices are numerous and convenient, with Brew-
house, Stabling for 10 Horses, double Coach-houses, Walled
Gardens, with Gardener's House, Farm-yard, and Agricultural
Buildings, and there are also three Cottages and Gardens.
The Pleasure-Grounds are extensive, and embrace the far-
famed acclivity ycleped Bevois Mount, the steep sides of which
are laid out with Gravel Roads and Walks, covered with Ever-
greens, interspersed with stately Timber rees, and ornamented
with a variety of alcoves and seats, and the summit is a spacious
Terrace Lawn, from which the visitor cannot fail to delight
himself with the varied and extensive Landscape, and at the
same time enjoy the invigorating breezes of the not far-distant
sea. The Park and Paddocks are studded with magnificent
Timber and Thriving Plantations, the Land is of excellent
quality, and an invaluable feature in this Estate is, a naturally
flowing, ample, and never-failing spring of the purest water.
The Land-tax is redeemed, and the Parochial rates are extremely
low. The writer presumes to affirm his opinion that an Es.
tate possessing so many important attractions, and really
valuable advantages, as the Bevois Mount Estate, is
indeed very rarely submitted to public competition, and
conscious that his pen cannot faithfully describe the beauties
of the scene itself, respectfully solicits an inspection. The
property must be seen to be justly appreciated. It may, how-
ever, be stated that the Mansion is perfect, and adapted for a
Minister of State. The importance and locality of the property
are such that the fortunate. owner cannot fail, should his wishes
so incline, of being returned Member for Southampton. It
offers to the classic the chosen retreat of the celebrated Earl
Peterborough, whose property it formerly was, and in whose
time it was the favourite resort of the sweet " Bard of Twicken-
ham," and Pope's seat still adorns the grounds. Sotheby,
that well-known votary of the Muse, once possessed it, and has
celebrated the attractions of this delightful residence in his
poem entitled " Farewell to Bevois Mount." To the member
of the Royal Yacht Squadron it would be an elegant estate,
within a few minutes' walk of the sea, and also within an easy
distance of the New Forest, the H. H., and the Hambledon
Hounds. To the merchant, a superior residence, within a mile
of the new Docks and the contemplated Steam-packet Port for
the Mails to and from the Western world, and within three
hours' ride per railway of the first capital of the globe. And,
though last not least, it offers to all, especially to the capitalist
and speculator, a mine of wealth by appropriating the land to
building purposes, for which, from its close proximity to the
most admired part of a fashionable watering place and rapidly
improving borough, from is elevated site, having also nearly a
mile of frontage to the Avenue and Portswood roads, and with
brick earth upon the estate, it is remarkably adapted an,l sin-
gularly eligible.
Descriptive particulars to be obtained in due time on the pre-
mises ; also at Coupland and Co.'s library, Southampton ; and
at the Auction Mart, London; and, with tickets to view, of
G. H. Halton, Esq., 1, New Boswell-court, Lincoln's-inn ;
and of Mr. Nightingale, estate agent and surveyor, Kingston-
upon-Thames, Surrey.

pLEASING RESULTS.—To find the ex-
ercise of our judgment attended by success, is the most
pleasurable realisation we can arrive at. Improvement of some
kind is generally the attainment kept in view. There is, how-
ever, an object universally desired in the preservation and en-
hancement of personal appearance, and hence the importance
attached to the toilet. In this interesting der‘artment the ex-
perience of nearly a century furnishes conclusive testimony as
to the value of GOWLAND'S LOTION in producing a pure
surface of the skin, with the clear and animated tint essential to
a fine complexion. Elegance of preparation, singularly refreshin-
'
qualities, and its positive effect in preventing the discolouration
incident to the season, will be found among the pleasing results
invariably attending the use of Go Aland s Lotion.
Prices 2s. 9d., 55. 6d., and quarts Bs. 6d.
" ROBT. SEIAW, London," is engraved on the stamp.
