R.
IfR GEORGE ROBINS is favoured by in-
structions from the proprietor, to announce for public
competioh, at the Auction Mart, London, on TUESDAY NeXT, the
16th of June. at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot,
A FREEHOLD PROPERTY AND DEMESNE,

of which it may well be said it has no fear of rivalry throughout this
admired county—indeed, the advantages are so many, and press in
such rapid succession upon the mind of the composer of this very
imperfect outline, that it is not a little difficult to state where to
begin. However, the effort must be made; firstly,
IT IS DECIDEDLY, FOR ITS SIZE,
THE MOST ELIGIBLE, AND CERTAINLY THE

MOST COMPACT PROPERTY.THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.
There can be no scepticism crise out of this assertion. NO one can
with justice gainsay this high panegyric. It extends to
THE WHOLE HAMLET, TOGETHER WITH
THE EXTENSIVE MANOR OF WILLENHALL,
which is within two shortmiles of

THE ANCIENT. CITY OF COVENTRY.
FIVE CAPITAL FARMS,
WITH SUPERIOR BUILDINGS
AND WARM FARM-YARDS TO EACH,
AN!) ALL WITHIN A RING FENCE,
TITHE FREE AND EXTRA-PAROCHIAL,
extending to about

There are

SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY ACRES
OF RICH MEADOW, PASTURE, and ARABLE LAND,
entirely and strictly within a ring fence, including the prolific
woo is. The rates are unusually small, arising out of the fast that
they are paid by a compromise with the
LONDON AND BIRMINGIUM RAILWAY COMPANY, •
whose line passes through Willenhall. 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 THROUGHOUT ENGLAND ;
AND HEAR IT ALL YE OF LITTLE FAITH IN •
THE STAPLE COMMODITY OF THE COUNTRY,
"THERE IS NOT NOR-HAs.THEUE BEEN Awl
AN ARREAR OF ONE GUINEA DURING

TT-11, T.ll, -00, 1.1. c. es
H may now be asked, " Where is to be found a corresponding case ?"
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 Sown), which
furnish constant amnsement to those inclined to recreate in fishing.
THE ELIZABETHAN VILLA
is altogether adapted to a gentleman's occupation. It probably
might be improve 4 by a finishing stroke from the hand of an artiste.
There is, besides, one of the farm-hawses 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 1,550/, 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 years' 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 refuse
a lease for his life, although it will probably, and It Is to be hoped, he
a very long one. Longevity prevails on this healthy property, and
some time since this was prow d 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
farms, and to fatten bullocks, they have even a higher claim. The
er-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•dsys), if the every day observation, resound-
ing now from all quarters, that
THE AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY .HAVE BEEN MORE

FRIGHTENED TIIAN lIUIHT,
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 lather (the eminent practitioner of this great city)
will also take the trouble to give all essential explanation, and appoint
a fit man to go over the estate.

Particulars also of Mr. Paine, solicitor, No. 4, Purnival's Inn; the
Auction Mart, and at Mr. George Robins's °films, 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.
MR. 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.
is well known 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 Momnoutlvihire. A description
of this villa abode is a matter of necessity, but the writer feels that
his representation most 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
miles, yet it is confidently stated that there is nothing to present
itself that can be put in Justin-position with Severn House. The
position is remarkable for the capability it affords to partake in an
unusual degree of the extent, and what may really be justly termed

TIZAN SCENDENTLY 13EALT1 'IM. S 6 ENERY.
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 verlte) magnificent, and the extent almost without a limit.
THE CONFLUENCE OF TILE SEVERN AND THE A.VOg
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 arriving
at the Severn Mansion, it will be perceived much of ingenuity

but the reader is invoked, and with no small portion of anxiety,
insrha n
not to rely on anything short of ocular demonstration ;
as the fame of this residence has extended far and near,
it necessarily renderi it a work of supererogation and lightens
the necessity to go into a more minute detail than this hasty compo-
sition will furnish. Clifton, the great feature of Gloucestershire, is
close at hand, and becomes an auxiliary that it would be an injustice
to overlook. The neighbourhood is prone to good-fellowship, but if the
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 county are close at hand.
