excellent Manor for Game, the Advowson, and several first-rate
Grazing and Dairy Farms, extending nearly to the town of Win-

country.
MESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON are
commissioned to announce that the above remarkably
valuable and truly important FREEIIOLD ESTATE will be SOLD
by AUCTION, at the Mart, near the Bank of England, on THURS-
DAY, 24th of September (unless an acceptable offer shall be previ-
ously made by private treaty).
It comprises the spacious and substantial MANSION OF All:
DINOTON, with walled garden, capital stabling, &c., placed on
a gentle elevation, nearly in the centre of one of the MOST
FERTILE DOMAINS in the county, embracing the entire
parish, nearly encircled by a fine brook, and chiefly rich
grazing and dairy land, the whole tithe free, and let to old
respectable tenants at rents amounting to about 2,6001. per an-
num. The perpetual Advowson, with its parsonage and glebe, and
the Manor, which is well stocked with game, appertain to the es-
tate. The timber is nearly all elm, a certain proof of the fertility of
the soil. The high turnpike road from Aylesbury to Buckingham
passes through the property, close to the town of Winslow, and it is
within a very easy distance of the several markets of Buckingham,
Bicester, Stony Stratford, &c. This description of grass land is
unlikely to be affected by any change as to Corn-laws or Tariffs, and
the property therefore presents, with its peculiar and great local ad-
vantages, an indisputably fine and choice property for the invest-
ment of money, with a most enjoyable domain for resitience, being
in a perfectly rural district, and in the centre of several packs of
hounds. A station on the Buckinghamshire Railway will be very
near.

DIVISION OF PROFITS.

has enabled the Directors, at the last annual investigation, to declare
a fourth bonus, varying from 35 to 85 per cent. on the premiums paid
on each Policy effected on the Profit scale.

Winslow, of whom particulars may be had ; also of Messrs. Walker
and Gridley, solicitors, 5, Southampton-street; of Messrs. Karslake
