THE B ESTIVALL AND SWINEHA NE FARMS,
OF 295 ACRES OF RICH DAIRY AND ARABLE LAND,
and it will be in the recollection of those acquainted with the county
that they were for many years the pet farms, or better known as
THE MODEL FARMS OF THE LATE SIR CLAUDE SCOTT,
BART.,
by whose untiring energy, skill, and outlay, they were not only
brought to a high state of cultivation, but by the formation of an
embankment of vast extent, with a most perfect system tif draining
and irrigation, some of the richest dairy and sorn land in the county
was secured, as well as a constant aupply of manure from the deposit
from the river. The late proprietor, at very considerable cost, erected
A GENTLEMANLY ABODE,
offering excellent accommodation for a family, approached by a
lodge entrance, through a most luxuriant shrubbery walk, adorned
with an infinity of choice flowerin, plants, to the lawn and pleasure-
garden, from whence a view of singular magnificence is obtained, in-
cluding the long range of
THE DORSETSHIRE HILLS,
THE MAJESTIC RUINS OF CORFE CASTLE
being a prominent object ; whilst the home view commands Lord
Rivers' estate of Redcliff and the Wareham River, which yields a
never-fading supply of fish, and in the season wild fowl is abun lance
—irresistible attractions to a sporting man—to whom it should be
known that there aro frequent meetings of Mr. Farquharson and
Mr. Drax's hounds. There are two farm-houses, with most com-
plete agricultural buildings ; and an excellent gravelled road runs
through the estate, communicating with each field. Several cottages
and every essential for conducting an extensive dairy farm with ad-
vantage ; and if at any time desired, the estate can be divided into
twe farms. Early possession may be had.
The estate may be viewed by applying to Mr. House, at the resi-

SLATE QUARRY, NEAR CARNARVON, NORTH WALES.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is instructed to DIS-
POSE OF, by PRIVATE CONTRACT, a valuable SLATE
QUARRY, In the most convenient position for readily embarking
the produce to every part, and which is held under a lease for
twenty-one years, renewable on application. It is about seven miles
from the thriving town of Carnarvon, with the advantage of a rail
or tram-road, which goes through the lower part of the quarry, an d
thence to that town. The quality of the slate, which Is of a most
beautiful blue, cannot be surpassed ; it is to be found In vast
abundance, and capable of being manufactured to any size that may
be required, A considerable part on the top has been worked,
evincing ample proof of the superiority of the produce. A. short
level can easily be made, so as to have a depth of twenty-two yards
over the whole of the quarry. The length of the vein is about 300
yards, and the breadth about 130. There Is every convenience and
advantage for conducting the working successfully ; and there cad
be n i question a large amount of annual profit may be safely relieu
up m. by the employment of only a moderate capital.
Mr. Thomas Richardson, of South Penrailt, will show the quarry
of whom full particulars may be had ; also at Mr. George Robins'a

The merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and econom

opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER.
Extract from the troccedings of the Institution of Civil Engine
Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, Sir Joi,/ RENNIE, President, in the Chair..s.
" I gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited
The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream if air to the
centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the burlier.
fhe air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was
hear ed, and passed out by two series of fire-holes around the periphery,
and i:npinging with force en the flame of the gas carved it outwards
in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with
the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion,
The Same was quite white down the top of the burner, was very steady,
as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution,
where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption
of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, arid trying
the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a
better ght, with a Fraying of rather more than one-third."
