considerable sum has been recently expended in valuable improve-
ments. Attached to the castle is a demesne of about 150 acres of
superior land, in hand. On the property, which embraces a great
volume of water-power, there are many extensive bleach greens,
beetling and corn mills, in the occupation of wealthy and respect-
able manufacturers ; and several of the tenantry are engaged in, or
connected with, the various branches of the linen trade; the ma-
jority are Protestants, and, in the highly favoured province of
Ulster, are remarkable for their industry and intelligence. The
bogs attached to the estate are very valuable, and there are exten-
sive tracts of pasturable and easily reclaimed mountain lands,
abundantly stocked with game. The property is in the immediate
neighbourhood of Ballymena, and approaches within a quarter of a
mile of this, the largest inland town in the county, and is only 20
miles distant from Belfast. The entire of the estates includes a
surface of about 50,000 acres. The Belfast and Ballymena Rail-
way, the works of which are contracted
i for, passes through the pro-
perty, as will also two other railways n contemplation.
Particulars are in preparation, and may, in due time, be ob_
tained of Messrs. J. W. Sherlock and Sons,_29, Orenville-street,
Mountjoy-square, Dublin, and Fermoy, Ireland; at the place of
sale; and of Mr. W. W.Simpsoe, 18, Bucklersbury..
Mr. Simpson, while drawing the attention of capitalists to the
above valuable estates, wishes to state that a second edition of
his pamphlet has been published, on `which the "Times" news-
paper made the following review Mr. W. W. Simpson, the
well-known and deservedly respected auctioneer and land valuator,
has recently published a pamphlet, entitled ' A Defence of the Land-
lords of Ireland, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord
and Tenant,' the' Dublin Evening Packet,' in reviewing this work,
gives the following character of its author Mr. Simpson, we
scarcely need remind our readers, is an Englishman, of vast ex-
perience in matters relating to the improvement and value of land
in his own country. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most com-
prehensive views, and possesses rn understanding naturally strong,
and a stock of practical knowlege and sterling sense which falls to
the lot of very few persons in his own or any other rank of life.
With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business,
almost as a matter of necessity, to be made thoroughly ac-
quainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed as much,
perhaps, as any man in his time to improve her resources, by en-
couraging the investment of British capital in every department of
Irish industry. Such a witness as this we therefore hold to be
beyond the reach of suspicion, on the score either of interest or
partiality. His testimony must be regarded as invaluable, as it is
unquestionably unimpeachable.' "

COMPE-
TITION, in Lots,
Valuable FEE-SIMPLE ESTATES (except a small portion
held on lives renewable for ever), situate in the baronies of Corka-
guiney, Clanmorice, and Dunkerrin, a short distance from Tralee,
the principal town in the county, and where the assizes are held,
eight miles from Castlemain, and twelve from the market and post
town of Dingle, comprising numerous town lands, the whole con-
taining 11,764 statute acres. The arable and pasture land is
principally of a deep clay soil on a limestone substratum, and con.
gists of nearly 5,500 acres, producing most luxuriant crops of
wheat, oats, and potatoes. The remainder of the estates consists
of bog and mountain, abounding with game, a great part of which
forms the famous hunting ground of Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.E.
in the vicinity of Darrynane Abbey. The scenery from the hill is
grand and imposing. The lands are supplied with the richest
manures, namely, muscle fish and sea sand, the former being so
plentiful on the coast that the country is manured with it for
miles round. The mountain portions of the property excel for
the grazing of sheep and young cattle, and might, at a moderate
expense, be converted into excellent sheep walks. The farm-
houses are generally of a comfortable description, and are occupied
by a contented and improving tenantry, mostly holding under old
leases, on the falling in of which, a large increase of rental will
accrue, and the land in many instances, with a small outlay, might
be nearly doubled in value.
The estate may be viewed. Particulars with plans annexed,
are preparation, and may shortly be obtained, on application to
in
Edward Tribe, Esq., solicitor, 14, Barge-yard Chambers, Buck-
,
