MAGNIFICENT ESTATES and noble RESIDENCE, in SOUTH
LANCASIIIRE, within 14 miles of Liverpool comprising the
extensive and very valuable domains and manors of BOLD, BUR-
TON WOOD, and SUTTON, presumed to be one of the most im-
portant and improving properties that has ever been offered for
sale.

MESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON have
been honoured with instructions from the Proprietor to OF-
FER for SALE, in AUGUST next (if not previously disposed of),
the above truly magnificent and very valuable FREEHOLD ES-
TATES, together nearly 7,000 statute acres, embracing some of

:he finest land in the county, and almost in a ring fence.

They embrace ihe important Manor of Bold, with its splendid man-
sion, gardet;s, park, noble woods, lake, and plantations, all in excel-
lent order, and distinguished as the Bold Hall Estate, and comprising
within itself about 4,300 acres most superbly timbered, and well
stocked with game; also the Burtonwood Estate adjoining,
containing numerous small farms ; together with the Sutton
Estate, closely contiguous, consisting of about I,o3oWacres of
excellent land skirting the prosperous and rapidly improving town of
St. Helens, and containing mines of superior coal and also beds of
clay of great value for pottery purposes. The whole of these
fine estates (with the exception of the parks and demesne
farm, which are in hand) are let to responsible tenants at
moderate rents, and produce between 11,0001, and 12,0001. per
annum, exclusive of royalties and rents receivable from coal mines,
which intik annually increase The limits of an advertisement will
only admit of a brief outline of the numerous natural and great local
advantages of this most important and splendid domain. The Man-
sion of Bold stands upon a fine elevated part of the park, which
contains about 600 acres, richly studded with noble timber, and
sheltered by venerable oak woods of the finest growth. Within the
park are the remains of the ancient hall, saoated round, and which,
from a period little later than the conquest, has been the seat of the
maternal ancestors of the preseat owner. The Sutton Estates
possesses rare advantages, is intersected by the London and .North
Western and St. Helen's and Runcorn Gap Railways, and, from its
position and nature, its value annually increasing. The St.
Helen's Coal-field, containing an average thickness of 70 feet of coal,
is believed to extend under a considerable portion of the Sutton
Estate , part of such mines are already in lease, and must be the
source of a vast revenue. The Sutton station f the London and
North Western Railway is distant about a mile from Bold Hall,
affording easy access to all parts of the kingdom. Warrington is
distant from Bold five miles and a half, Liverpool only 14, Manchee-
ter 20, and London less than -200. The Bold and Burtonwood Do-

SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, near the Bank of
England, In JULY (unless an acceptable offer shall be previously

An important LEASEHOLD ESTATE, offering the highest in-
ducement to parties seeking to increase their income by an eligible
Investment of capital in a property producing an unusually ample
return. It consists of the impropriate Rectory of Wawne, in the
County of York, held by a lease from the Chancellor of York for
three young lives, the youngest of which is that of the Princess
Royal The rectory comprises the glebe farm, farmhouse, and
lands, consisting of a very superior dwelling-house, recently built,
with convenient farm buildings, and 305 acres of good arable, mea-
dow, and pasture land, all in a ring fence, now let at 450/. per
annum, together with the rectorial rent charge in lieu of .tithes,
which have been commuted at the annual rent of 8521., of whirls
721. is apportioned on the glebe. The whole rent-charge, except
that charge on the glebe, is pay able by a single proprietor, Joseph
Smyth Wyndham, Esq.; and the net annual income of the estate,
after deducting all the outgoings, amounts to about 1,1001. Wawne
Is situated in the East Riding of the county of York, four miles
from Beverley and six Trent Hull. The roads are good, and there is
a navigable river communicating with both those towns. Insu-
rances for 2,0001. each have been effected upon each of the three
subsisting lives, and these may be made the subject of arrangement
between the vendors and the purchaser. It is probable that a pur-
chaser may be able by arrangement with the lessor to obtain a sub-
stitution of lives of his own nomination. It would be needless to
point out the importance of such an opportunity to parties seeking
to make a provision for life interests.

banks margined with plantations, interspersed with superb timber
and luxuriant shrubs, through which are gravelled and turfed
walks of great extent and variety, with the picturesque church of
Oddineton at the south-west corner of the grounds. The woods,

BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS
Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Monk Bar,

York,

" To Mr. Thomas trout,

" 14th Jane, 1847.

"Sts,—Having suffered most dreadAilly for the last six years from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic rms. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in
the morning comparatively free from pain • and before I had finished
the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general
health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and they all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your
wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it.

_ .
~ I sin, Sir, yours respectfully.
" J. J. WILSON."

The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief. _ _ .

They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part.

In One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
hitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
aoroprosing hurry ; but the troth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

MURDER OF AN OFFICER.

About nine o'clock on Saturday morning the inmates
of Coldbath-fields prison were thrown into the greatest
consternation by a report that William Woodhouse, one
of the wardens stationed in yard No. 5 of the old prison,
had been murdered by a prisoner named George James
Hewson, who was committed from the Old Bailey in the
session of November last, convicted of concealing the
birth of au illegitimate child, the incestuous is.aie of his
own daughter, a yeueg woman 18 years of age. who
was sentenced at the same sessions for the same offence
to nine months' incarceration in the above prison. Not-
withstanding the privacy unnecessarily persevered in by
the authorities at the prison, the refusal of the gover-
nor, Mr. Chesterton, to deliver up the murderer to In-
spector Penny of the G division for examination before a
magistrate, and the, jealous exclusion of persons con-
nected with the press from the prison, the following
particulars, furnished to our reporter by an eye.
witness, may be relied upon :—The deceased man,
Woodhouse, who was only thirty-three years of age, and
during his five years and a half servitude in the esta-
blishment bore the character of a steady, sober, and
humane officer, had occasion, on Saturday morning, to
report the prisoner to the governor for talking, contrary
to the prison regulations, and was directed to lock him i
up in his cell until further orders. He proceeded to do
so just as the men in the yard were preparing to go to
morning prayers, but before locking the cell he went in
to remove the pannikin in which the prisoner had had
his food. He was about to close the door on his return,
when Hewson lifted up his arm and with great violence
struck him a downward blow, saying, "Take that." The
deceased staggered back, but was instantly supported

SUPPOSED MRU
On Friday evening an inquest was opened before 11,1 r
W. Carter, at the Albert Tavern, Battersea-fields,
upon.
the body of a gentleman unknown, who was found lying
on the shore of the river near the above-mentioned
house. The deceased is apparently 26 years of age,
stout figure, fair complexion, dark brown hair, close cut
whiskers, his height about five feet five or six inches,
and he was attired in a black dress coat, a striped vest,
tweed trousers, and white shirt spotted with red dog's
heads holding a stick. A pair of kid gloves were found
in his coat pocket, but no other property was found on
his person. The appearance of the body was such as to
induce much suspicion, and this suspicion was greatly
increased by the absence of money, jewellery, papers,
and everything of value. On a nearer examination of
the body the forehead was found to be severely bruised,
and in the centre of the frontal bone there was a small
wound penetrating the skull, and apparently inflicted by
some sharp instrument. After hearing some evidence
the inquest was adjourned, that a post mortem examina-
tion might be made, the coroner directing that the body
should be moved afterwards to the bone-house, and
kept there as long as possible for identification. On
Saturday, about noon, Inspector Busain had au interview
with Mr. Beadon, the sitting magistrate, and stated
that Dr. Wing had extracted a pistol bullet from
the deceased gentleman's head, and bad stated it to be
his firm conviction that the deceased was murdered.
In consequence of this announcement on the part of
Dr. Wing, fuller particulars of the unfortunate de-
ceased than had been deemed necessary to give at the
finding of the body were sent by route to all the
metropolitan police-stations with a view of ascertaining
who the deceased may be. The post mortem exami-
nation was made yesterday morning by Dr. Wing,
assisted by Dr. Holmes. The forehead or frontal bone
exhibited externally three very severe contused wounds,
evidently inflicted by some deadly instrument, such as
a "life-preserver." In the centre of the frontal bone
was a small orifice, through which a pistol-ball had en-
tered and lodged in the table of the cranium, so as to
press on the brain without passing through the skull.
The position of the ball would scarcely be such in a sui-
cide's case, as they generally fired at the side of the head
or in the mouth. Another reason for its not being a
suicide was, that there were no traces of powder in the
wound, which would have been the case if the pistol had
been fired close to the person, and the base of the skull
was not injured. The backs of the hands were much
bruis( d by being beaten with a thick stick or life-
preserver. Respiration had never taken place in the
water, therefore ho had been carried in a dead state to
the river and thrown in.
