SALES BY AUCTION.

WR. W. W. SIMPSON invites the attention of
Capitalists to the statements contained In the following
Advertisements, relating to the past, present, and prospective per-
manency of Rentals and the value of Land, confirming, as they do,
the predictions which he ventured to make last April, in a speech at
Norwich, in which he observed. that " although he had been a
thorough-going Protectionist,, he was proud to say, that sliding and
all other scales had fallen from his eyes ;—that it was his firm and
honest conviction, that Rents which had been set on fair and liberal
principles within the last seven years wottli be permanent ; that the
year's purchase on such Rentals had risen within the last six months,
and in all probability would continue to rise ; and that in adopting
free trade measures, Sir Robert Peel had proved hl nself to be one
of the most talented, far-sighted, and Rtailessly honest Ministers
that had ever lived In the tide of time." The wesent circumstances
of the country, from a general scarcity of food throughout Europe,
fully justify the opinion here expressed of the eminent talents and
courage displayed by Sir Robert Peel. ;t is stated by the most coin-
petent judges that if his wise measures of free trade had not been
carried out, the prices of Corn and produce would have risen to a
famine heigkt. Mr. Simpson has also been assured by the most re-
spectable salesmen in Smithfield Market, that if it had not been !or
the alteration of the Tariff, the price of Meat would long since have
risen to one shilling per pound, and even now the general impression
is, that before next harvest the prices of provisions will reach a
height beyond what would be conducive to the general prosperity of
the country. Mr. Simpson, in conclusion, cannot refrain from al-
luding to the opinion of that eminent man, the late Sir Charles We-
therell, on the subject. A high Tory and firm Protectionist, the
fears he entertained as to the probable results of the Repeal of the
Corn Laws induced him to determine on selling his landed property,
but his better judgment prevailed, and be not only retained pos-
session of it, but was in the course of making further investments
when he met his lamentable fate. THE PROTECTIONISTS

NORTHAMPTONSHIRE.I
Within TWO MILES of the WELLUNGBOROUII STATION, ex-
ceedingly VAIYABLE ESTATE, consisting of 468 ACRES of very
excellent ARABLE, MEADOW, DAIRY, and GRAZING LAND,
lying within a RING FENCE.
MR. W. W. SIMPSON has received instructions
from the Trustees of the late John Christie, Esq., to SEW..
•by AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on TUESDAY, November 111,
at Twelve o'clock,
An exceedingly valuable FREEHOLD and COPYIIOLD ESTATE,
eligibly situate in the parishes of Irchester and Wymington, within
three miles of the capital market town of Wellingborough, and two
miles only from the railway station, which is within about half an
hour's transit by railway to the important town of Northampton.
It comprises a farmhouse and suitable agricultural buildings, toge-
ther with 304 acres of land, including 237 acres of arable, generally
of easy tillage and deep staple, much the larger surface of which,
under proper cultivation, adapts itself to the turnip and barley course
of husbandry ; and the entire arable surface of the estate is grateful,
and in fair average seasons yields abundantly in corn, leguminous,
and green crops in all their varieties. The meadow end pasture
lands are to a considerable extent of good feeding and dairy quality ;
still they are, however, susceptible of improvements relating to
draining, &c., which, if carried out, would increase their present pro-
ductiveness; the same observation will apply to certain portions of
the arable surface of the estate. As it would not be prudent for
tenants of uncertain tenure to incur this expenditure, the following
clause is inserted in the agreements:—" In addition to the rent, the
tenants are to pay six per cent. on the outlay of the landlord for
drainage, which drainage the landlord is to do according:to a specifica-
tion to be agreed upon between the tenants and Mr. W. W. Gardner,
the agent to the vendors.' The above farm is in the occupation of
Mr. James Mather, yearly tenant, who renewed his agreement at
Michaelmas, 1845, at a rent of 5821. 10s. per annum. Mr. Mather
and his family have been located on the estate for nearly a century.
Mr. Mather is not only wealthy, but of excellent character ; a first
class cultivator and manager generally; he stocks highly, and, at the
present period has a flock of 600 sheep, between the Leicester and
Down, superior in regard to frame and quality of wool. Also a
desirable Farm adjoining, with farm-house and agricultural build-
ings, and about 138 Acres of deep surfaced and exceedingly produc-
tive arable land, including a small field of pasture, in the occupation
of Miss Elizabeth Frost, a highly respectable yearly tenant, from
Michaelmas, 1545, at a rent of 2201. per annum. The family of Miss
Frost have been tenants on this estate upwards of 40 years. The
arable surface partakes very much of the same description and qua-
lity as Mr. Mather's occupation, with the exception that there is not
quite so large a proportion kindly to the turnip course; still there are
very few fields on the entire estate where turnips are not grown and
folded off. Also about 24 acres of excellent arable land, called
Avenue Close, in the occupation of the Rev. Charles Partridge, vicar,
tenant from year to year, at a rent of 471. 10s. per annum, for the
purpose of being let to labourers as alletmente. The copyhold por-
tion of tile above property is in the parish of Irchester, and pays an
annual quit-rent of 31. IGs. 3d., and a fine of the like amount
on alienation or death, to the lord of the manor of Irchester :
It is, therefore. equal in value to freehold. The apportioned
tithe rent-charge on the whole estate amounts to 61. 14s. 3d.
only, and which is paid by the tenants, therefore it may
be considered virtually tithe rent-charge the. In respect
to the permanency of the rentals Mr. Simpson refers to
that best test, namely the character of the tenants, who have so re-
cently taken their occupation at the present rents, added to the de-
sire expressed by them to be continued on their farms in the event
of the estate being sold. Mr. Simpson having made a most minute
survey, field by field, and careful estimate of the property,,fearlessly
asserts it is one of the most desirable estates for occupation and the
secure investment of capital he has seen in tile course of his ex-
tensive experience.
The property may be viewed, and particulars (with plans annexed)
may now be obtained of Mr. William Henry Cotterill, solicitor, 32,
Throgmorton-street, City ; of George Burnham, Esq , solicitor,
Wellingborough ; of Mr. W. W. Gardner, Biggleswade; and of Mr.
W. W. Simpson, 18, Bucklersbury, London.
