THE FAMED PIERCEFIELD

is only a short drive, and Barnsville-park, a minor candidate for
fame, is not far off, the verdant scenery 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 he 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 ha% 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 f3nd the most
ample accommodation within ; it may be added, that it lacks
nothing that can 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.
TEIE HOT AND STJCCESSION•HOUSES
are quite perfect, and the produce is beyond praise. There Is
(vesicles A BEAUTIFUL FRENCH GARDEN,
in excellent taste, and shedding its beauteous fragrance on all around,
and THE BOTANIC WORLD WILL GLEAN
from these gardens considerable knowledge, the bulbs being a selec-
tion in great part imported from Harlem, and of the choicest speci-
mens that that city is famed for. The scenery everywhere appears
interminable, tends to give a pleasing variety, which again, it is pro-
claimed, fears nothing by a comparison throughout this far-famed
county. It is in the midst of plenty, everything very reason-
able—the sea close at hand, and Bristol and Clifton pour in their
auxiliaries daily.

giving to the industrious views of the proprietor a very delightful re-
source to fill up an occasional idle hour, beside.pleisure in improving
the breed of his cattle, thus combining the art of driving away
ennui (if it should presume to make its unwelcome appearance) from
this seat of happy contentment. The proAress to the summit of thiE
QUITE PERFECT BIJOU

has been the work of considerable tact and judgment. It Is almost
imperceptible, arising from the constant occupation of the mind in
admiring and beholding the scenery around. The prolific array of
American shrubs is seen In proud competition with the plants from
Harlem. From the elevated spot, hi these woods are
seen the Castle of Blaize, and the ruins of Mr. Cave's
and Ragland Castle; indeed
There Is nothing left to fancy's guess,
You see that all is loveliness.
By way of conclusion it should be remarked that, in
spite of wintry winds, the full growth of the Plantations
excludes the possibility of its penetrating to the abode,
The ensemble to which the Severn Property puts in an irresist-
ible claim is perfect. It would puzzle ingenuity to discover a solitary
fault. It can only be seen on Tuesdays and Saturdays from twelve till
five o'clock, and not without a particular and drawing (which will
cost one shilling for a party, to be had also of Messrs. Cameron and
Booty, solicitors, Gray's Inn; of Messrs. Osborne, Ward, and Ca.,
solicitors, Bristol; at the White Lion Hotel, Bristol; White Hart,
Bath; the Auction Mart, and at Mr. George Robins's offices, London.
