magnificent and very valuable FREEHOLD ESTATES, together
nearly 7,000 statute acres, embracing some of the finest' laud in
the county, and almost in a ring fence.
:fhey embrace the important Manor of Bold, with its splendid man-
sion. gat:delis, park, noble woods, lake, and plantations, all in excel-
lent order, and distinguished as the Bold Hail Estate, and comprising
within itself about 4,300 acres most superbly timbered, and well
stocked with game; also the Burtonwood Estate adjoining, containing
numerous small farms and other propertS ;
of togebther:with the Sutton
of
Estate, closely contiguous, consisting aout :with the
excellent land skirting the prosperous and rapidly improving town of
St. Helen's, and containing mines of superior coal and also beds of
clay of great value for pottery purposes. The whole of these
fine estates (with the exception of the parks and demesne
farm, which aro in hand) are let to responsible tenants at
moderate rents, and produce between 11,000', and 12,000/. per
annum, exclusive of royalties and rents receivable from coal mines,
which must annually increase. The limits of an advertisemo.nt will
only admit of a brief outline of the numerous natural and great local
advantages of this most important and splendid domain. The Man-
sion of Bold stands upon a tine elevated part of the park, which
contains about 600 acres, richly studded with noble timber, and
sheltered by venerable oak woods of the finest eowth. Within the
park are the re:nains of the ancient hall, moated round, and which,
from a period little later than the conquest, has been the seat of the
maternal ancestors of the present owner. The Sutton Estate
possesses rare advantages, is intersected by the London and North
Western and St. Helen's and Runcorn Gap Railways, and, from its
position and nature, its
,value is annually increasing. The St.
Helen's Coal-field, containing an average thickness of 70 feet of coal,
is believed to extend under a considerable portion of the Sutton
Estate part of such mines are already in lease, and must be the
source of a vast revenue. The, Sutton station of the London and
North Western Railway is distant about a mile from Bold Hall,
affording easy access to all parts of the kingdom. Warrington is
distant from Bold five miles and a half, Liverpool only 14, Manches •
ter 20, and L(taion less than 200. 'fhe Bold Estate may be pur-
chased without the Sutton and Burtonwood Domains, which will be
offered in various lots.

MAIL-GUARD lAILILEDAyOf ELr
doarer
morning, A N p
N
O:HSat u
about three o'clock, an accident occurred on this line at
Crewe, by which a mail-guard was deprived of life. The
NORTH WESTERN-
th
RCLw .
man's name was Leigh Hare, and he had left Manchester
by the mail-train which forms a junction at Crewe with
the mails from Liverpool, Chester, and Holyhead, on
tht it way to London. It was his duty to remain at the
Crewe station till the down mail from London arrived, a
little after three in the morning, and then return to
Manchester with bags from that train, and also with
bags previously brought by the Chester and Holyhead
up trains for Manchester. The guards have a room at
Crewe in which to lock their bags during the five hours
they wait there forthe down mail, and,Hire,having waited
till within a few minutes of the time the train was due,
was carrying his Chester and Holyhead bags across the
line, in readiness to start for Manchester, when a lug-
gage train suddenly came upon him, the engine of which
knocked him down on one of the rails, and the wheels of
the engine and waggons on one side went over his body
and head, crushing them. Hare was a tall, and rather
fine-looking man, well known on the road between Lei-
cester and Manchester for many years before the Lon-
don and North-Western Railway was opened, as the
guard of the old four-horse London and Manchester
mail, on that pert of the journey.
RAILWAY TRAIN ON FIRE.—A correspondent who
was in the carriage to the rear of the one on fire sends
us the following particulars:—The express train to
London took fire on Monday evening, when about 15
miles to the south of Berwick. The passengers to the
rear of the carriage on fire felt a smell of burning, which
was quickly succeeded by a brilliant glare of light. The
alarm having been immediately given by passengers in
the different carriages shouting to the engineer, and
waving their hats from the carriage windows, the train
was quickly brought to a stand, and the fire, which had
assumed a terrific appearance, extinguished by water
from the tender. The fire took place in the roof of a
first-class carriage, and was caused, it is supposed, by a
cinder from the engine, as cinders were flying past the
carriages in immense quantities all the way from Berwick
to Newcastle—the fire-box appearing to be insufficient.
We believe the guard was on the half uncovered luggage-
van next the engine; but, at all events, such an accident
as this shows the necessity for passengers having some
mode of communication with the engineer. We need
scarcely say that the terror of the passengers—some of
them ladies—in the burning carriage was indescribable.
We understand that on the same evening the axletree of
one of the carriages in the train to Berwick took fire
when about a mile south of Morpeth. The fire was im-
mediately discovered by the guard, and got under before
any serious damage was done.—Edinburgh Witness.
DISCOVERY OF ROMAN REMAINS.—The workmen
employed at the gas works in Wigan, in lowering the
yard to the level of the street, during the past and pre-
sent week, have discovered the fragments of no less than
thirty to forty Roman urns, containing calcined bones,
and what appears ,to have been charcoal. They were
found about two feet from the surface of the earth.
Some years ago, on digging for the foundation of the
gas works, one urn, containing similar substances was
found. " There is no doubt (says the Manchester Ex-
aminer) but that Wigan was a Roman station, as three
of the Roman roads diverge from it, and it is conjectured
as the Romans buried their dead outside their city walls,
and near to their highways, that this spot was their
burying-place. It is supposed that they are near 1800
years old. They appear to be made of three different
kinds of material, the greater portion being the red
clay."
By command of the Postmaster- General, Lane-end,
near Stoke upon-Trent, Staffordshire, is in future to be
designated Longton for all purposes of postal communi-
cation, and instructions have accordingly been forwarded
to all postmasters.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
NORTH BRITISH.
The report of the directors to be presented at the half-
yearly meeting to-morrow (Wednesday) in Edinburgh
recommends that a dividend be declared at the rate of five
per cent. per annum on the original North British, and
on the Dakeith branch shares, out of the nett revenue,
24.4481., leaving a balance of 4881. It state; that the
traffic had increased 8,3101. during the past half-year. as
compared with that of the correspt nding period of 1847.
The rum expended on the works amounts to 3,163,450/.;
and the directors expect from the opening of the High
Level-bridge, and other facilities, that the traffic on the
line will continue to increase.

LIVERPOOL, MANCHESTER, AND NEWCASTLE

JUNCTION.
A meeting of shareholders in this company was held
at Manchester on Friday; Mr. T. Peet in the chair; to
consider what steps ought to be taken for enabling the
shareholders to receive back the remainder of the funds
after discharging all the liabilities of the company.
It was stated that there was above 60,0001. in hand,
that•ihe liabilities were about 9,0001., leaving 50,0001 for
divisio❑ among the shareholders, provided they could
stop the further proceedings of the directors with respect
to another dissolution Bill, the last having cost the sum
of 9,0001. • _ _

The general opinion was, that as long as there was
any money left there would be no end to contention car-
ried on at the expense of the shareholders; and the only,
way to make peace was to divide the remaining funds,
without seeking a dissolution Bill, leaving a sufficient
sum in hand to liquidate all liabilities. It was stated that
the directors were now taking measures to aprdy for ano-
ther dissolution Bill, which would entail considerable
expense, because all the owners, lessees, and occupiers of
land upon the line must be served with notices. A
shareholder believed that the wholvof the, agreements
entered into with the laiklownereinight have been set-
tled for 1,5001. or 2,0001., and the project abandoned,
while 9,000/. had been spent in promoting a dissolution
Bill which was lost.

Resolutions were passed appointing a committee to
carry out the objects of the meeting, consisting of
Messrs. J. Hobson, H. Rawson, and Pect, to induce
the directors not to make any application to Parlisment
for a Bill, and requesting the sharehohlers to unite in
procuring a division of the fund§ and preventing any
further unnecessary expenditure.
