There aro

extending to about
SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY ACRES
OF RICH MEADOW, PASTURE, and ARABLE LAND,
entirely and strictly within a ring fence, including the prolific
woods. The rates are unusually small, arising out of the fact that
they are paid by a compromise with the
LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY,
whose line passes through Virilleithall. The soil is of first-rate quality,
as the crops annually demonstrate, and the rick yards verify. Every
Farm possesses a superior dwelling, with large garden, and the build-
ings essential for agricultural purposes are unexceptionable, in fact,
everything is in the most perfect apple-pie order. A microscopic eye
could hardly discover a single thing out of place, and with it
A TENANTRY THAT MR. ROBINS PROCLAIMS
CAN NOT BE EXCELLED TWROUGHOUT ENGLAND ;
AND HEAR IT ALL YE OF LITTLE FAITH IN
THE STAPLE COMMODITY OF THE COUNTRY,
" THERE IS NOT NOR HAS THERE BEEN
AN ARREAR OF ONE GUINEA DURING
THE LAST TEN YEARS."

AND ECHO REJOINS " WHERE." •

--
In respect to the auxiliaries not immediately sought in the shape of
income, it should be said
THE ADJOINING MANORS ARE STRICTLY PRESERVED

BY LORDS CRAVEN AND HOOD,
as also the Baginton and Brandon property. There is an abundance
of game, and field sports extend to a gentleman's fondest desire. The
Estate is bounded by two large rivers (the Avon and Sowe), which
furnish constant amusement to those inclined to recreate in fishing.

THE ELIZABETHAN VILLA
is altogether adapted to a gentleman's occupation. It probably
might be improvel by a finishing stroke from the band of an artiste.
There is, besides, one of the farm-houses where the proprietor
would be but too happy to take up his quarters occasionallyduring the
sporting season. The next point requiring a commentary is the
rental—it must be premised—there are no leases. The present low
rental is 1,5501, a year ; but it is quite manifest that
SEVENTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR
will be conceded as a MODERATE rent, and this should be secured
to the PRESENT GOOD MEN AND TRUE, by givng to each a
fourteen ytars' lease. James Mellor, Esq., who has so long domesti-
cated with his family on the hill, and whose quiet abode overlooks
Coventry and its beautiful spires, it would be in bad taste to reflise
a lease for his life, although it will probably, and it is to be hoped, be
a very long one.. Longevity prevails on this healthy property, and
some time since this was proved by MR. BLUE (close by) retiring into
a better world, at the advanced age of 108. Mr. Mellor's grounds
are beautifully disposed, and more especially the wild flower-garden,
(under the worthy lady's especial care), which gives to it a pleasing
variety. LORD CRAVEN AND LORD HOOD
are close allies ;
AND THE ESTATE OF THE BROTHER OF
SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART.
is close at hand.

The farms are very productive in the soil for white crops, especially
wheat and barley, with some admirable turnip land; but as dairy
farina, and to fatten bullocks, they have even a higher claim. The
c"ntiguity to one of the first markets in England, and the facility to
return manure, whenever the good folks of Coventry are indulged
with a portion of the produce of this highly cultivated soil, are ad-
vantages that a good agriculturist will not overlook. And now, by
way of conclusion, Mr. Robins will ask, and with earnestness (taking
into the scale the great curiosity that prevails everywhere to get
into good farms now-a•days), if the every day observation, resound-
ing now from all quarters, that
THE AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN MORE
FRIGHTENED THAN HURT,
is not rendered most manifest by the above unassuming recital
of facts?
The particulars are ready, and will be distributed, with a draw-
ing, on the plan with the Elizabethan Villa, by Mr. Phillips, jun., of
Coventry. His father (the eminent practitioner of this great city)
will also take the trouble to give all essential explanation, and appoint
a flt man to go over the estate.
Particulars also of Mr. Paine, solicitor, No. 4, Fumival's Inn; the
Auction Mart, and at M. George Robins's offices, London.

IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND RECHERCHE PART OF
GLOUCESTERSHIRE, NEARLY MIDWAY BETWEEN CLIF-
TON AND THE SEVERN, ONE OF THE MOST PERFECT
VILLAS WITH ITS APPURTENANCES IN ENGLAND;
AROUND IT ARE ITS PLEASURE-GROUNDS, A DEMESNE
EXTENDING TO 50 ACRES, ALL FREEHOLD AND LAND-
TAX REDEEMED.
R. GEORGE ROBINS has pleasure in stating
he has been selected to TRANSFER, without a limited price,
at the White Lion Hotel, Bristol, on Thursday, the 25th of June, at
One, for Two o'clock, precisely, in Two Lots.
A SINGULARLY DELIGHTFUL
and altogether a

MOST ELIGIBLE PROPERTY.
.s wellinown and highly appreciated as
THE SEVERN HOUSE DEMESNE,
four miles from Bristol and Clifton, on the road to the splendid
river Severn and the passage into Monmouthshire. A description
of this villa abode is a matter of necessity, but the writer feels that
his representation must necessarily be very incomplete, inasmuch, as
although it will be conceded that there are to be found a little host
of elegant abodes in progressing through the romantic drive of four
oillem, yet is . there Se nothing to nrogellt
itself that can be put in Juxta-position with Severn House. The
position is remarkable for the_. capability it affords to partake in au
unusual degree of the extent, and what linty really be Justly termed

TRANSCENDENTLY BEAUTIFUL SCENERY.
It would almost wear the patience of the reader to extend the descrip-
tion of all the writer saw, and strived to appreciate, but it is believed a
very few gleanings will suffice to call up the attention of all such as
would enjoy the pure. unsophisticated air of Gloucestershire, in a
villa which it is universally conceded, stands alone both for situation
and prepossessing appearance.
It is placed on a lofty and beauteous eminence, but the luxuriant
shrubberies and plantations that encircle it, keep the cold winds at a
most respectable distance, and in accomplishing this desideratum, it
would appear that fairy land has been sought to aid the great
design. On perambulating through these splendid grounds the views
are (en verite) magnificent, and the extent almost without a limit.
THE CONFLUENCE OF THE SEVERN AND THE AVON
is immediately in view, and the perpetual moving scenery in the dis-
tance must be seen if the reader desires to appreciate it, for it is quite
certain this imperfect account will leave an immeasurable host of ob-
jects entirely disregarded.
Here rising boughs, adorned with summer's pride,
Project their waving umbrage o'er the tide;
While, gently perching on the leafy spray,
Each feather'd warbler tunes his various lay.
The road from Clifton is full of variety, and on aiving
at the Severn Mansion, it will be perceived much of ingrr
enuity
must have been brought into the field to accomplish the delightful
asnt to be encountered from the very pretty entrance-lodge-gate
but the reader is invoked, and with no small portion of anxiety,
not to rely on anything short of ocular demonstration;
as the fame of this residence has extended far and near,
it necessarily renders it a work of supererogation and lightens

fortunate occupant prefers quietude and repose to the gaiety that will
surround him, he may enjoy it here uninterruptedly. All the great
lions of the count THE FAMED PIERCEFIELD
is only a short drive, and Barnsville-park, a minor candidate for
fame, is not far off, the verdant seenery which interposes itself in
the progress to these highly commended properties extends over a
vale so rich and lovely that its beauties seem to exceed the powers
of commendation, and be it remembered all this (and very much
more than has been asserted in this brief analysis) Is within four
hours' pleasant drive of the metropolis of London.
This delightful abode hag not yet been noticed sufficiently.
" THERE IS THAT WITHIN WHICH PASSETH SHOW."
It is a building of considerable pretensions in its outward and visible
signs; and a family, although numbering very many, will flnd the most
ample accommodation within ; it may be added, that it lacks
nothing that cal be understood in the comprehensive term of com-
fort. The out-offices are most complete throughout, the court-
yard is worthy of admiration, and a sporting gentleman will
find in the stabling and coach houses all that ingenuity can
suggest. The kitchen-gardens are very extensive, inclosed by lofty
brick walls, and the soil is exceedingly prolific; the fruit is considered
unusually high flavoured.
