BUCKINGHAMSHIRE AND OXFORD
AND BLETCHLEY JUNCTION RAILWAY.
Interest guaranteed by the London and Birmingham Company.
At the present moment, when public confidence in railway pro-
jects has been much diminished, and when many of them have been
entirely abandoned, the
.Committee of Management of the above•
Mentioned undertaking think proper to announce to their subscribers
that their expectations of success are entirely unabated.
Mature consideration and observation of the circumstances of
other railways have only confirmed the Committee in their con-
viction that the Buckinghamshire Railway.is calculated_to he profit-
able to the shareholders, beneficial to the districts through which
it will pass, and conducive to the general interests of the country.
The Committee, therefore, prosecute their undertaking with every
confidence of final success, and advantage to all the parties concerned.

SALES BY AUCTION.

NEAR TO USK, IN MONMOUTHSHIRE.
♦ Capital RESIDENCE, in the Centro of this beauteous County,
TWO FARMS on Lease, with excellent Buildings; altogether 425
ACRES of extraordinary PRODUCTIVE LAND, with a BED
of excellent LIMESTONE.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is commissioned to
OFFER by PUBLIC AUCTION, at the Mart, Loudon, on
THURSDAY, the 7th of May, at 12 o'Clock, in One Lot, an exceedingly
ELIGIBLE FREEHOLD INVESTMENT,and ens perfectly free from any uncertainty arising
from the pro-
jected alterations in the corn-laws; combining with a
FAMILY RESIDENCE OF CONSIDERABLE PRETENSIONS
AND 425 ACRES OF UNCOMMONLY PRODUCTIVE LAND
OF WHICH 350 ACRES ARE ARABLE AND PASTURE, AND
75 ACRES WOODLAND.
gently sloping to a beautiful southern aspect, most genial for the im-
provement of cattle and sheep. First, it may be well to glance at
the situation, and encounter

THE ALMOST HERCULEAN TASK OF TRYING
TO POURTRAY THE BEAUTIES OF MONMOUTHSHIRE.
A panegyrie upon

. .
THE LOVELY VALE AND RIVER OF USE,
WHICH ADJOIN THE ESTA rE,
would be a work of supererogation to those who have lead the good
fortune to sojourn there ; those who have not, and would invest in
perfect security, while in the enjoyment of a quietude unknown to
less-favoured districts, will do well to be on the alert, and do
" their possible" to become the possessor of this line property.
THE WINDING OF THE RIVER WYE
in the immediate vicinity,

THE BEAUTEOUS WOODLAND SCENERY,
THE NEVER-TIRING COMBINATION OF HILL AND DALE,
TIIE RIVER FULL OF SALMON AND TROUT,
the verdant pastures, luxuriant orchards and gardens in every di-
rection, produce au effect not to be appreciated, and in no part of
England to be exceeded in beauty.
THE RESIDENCE IS ONE OF COMFORT,
and was formerly the abode of

JOHN OTE REND, ESQ',
THE WEALTUY BANKER, OF LONDON,

The situation will be irresistible in provoking a little outlay to
complete that which the late possessor so ably projected. Without
being too cumbersome or expensive, the Residence combines all that
a family of great respectability can desire, kitchen gardens and
orchards. Should the purchaser of the Estate desire to reside, and
FORM A PLEASURE FARM.

there is an abundance of field sports, aildlotsof fishing ; and the cele-
brated Liangibby Hounds hunt t le hiinediate neighbourhood.
A BRANCH OF THE SOUTH WALES RAILWAY,

now making, is within half a mile. There are Two highly-cultivated
Farms, with comfortable abode, which adjoins the residence, and
all necessary buildings, two warm and sheltered yards for stock, and
a good tenant (Mr. Joseph Neale) at a very inadequate rent for
four years yet to come.
THE QUALITY OF THE SOIL

is of acknowledged excellence. The pastures so—rich as to fatten
bullocks and sheep for the London market, and the land exuberant
beyond measure. _ . .

LIME AND COAL CLOSE IT HAND IN GREAT ABUNDANCE
and the market towns approximating, render a sure and advan•
tageous vent for the produce of the land.
CHEPSTOW AND IIAGLAND CASTLES
are neighbouring auxiliaries, and
THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT'S
PRINCELY ESTATES SURROUND THE PROPERTY

The neighbourhood is remarkable for sociability and the great re-
spectability of the inhabitants ; in fact, it would be altogether
very difficult to discover a single point of objection to a capitalist
who would repose in clover. The Tithe and poor-rate very moderate,
and the parish church is in the immediate neighbourhood.
William Groves, at Pyrks Cottage, will show the Estate, and
Particulars had, with plans annexed, of A. Waddington, Esq.,
Solicitor, Usk : the Beaufort Arms, Monmouth ; King's Head,
Gloucester; White Lion, Bristol; Messrs. Irlam and Fletcher, soli-
citors, Liverpool; the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. George Robins's
Offices, London.
