THE HIGHLAND DWARFS.

THE HIGHLAND DWARFS, who have had
the honour of exhibiting before her Majesty and his Royal
highness Prince Albert on two different occasions, are now to be
seen in the Cosmorama Rooms, 209, Regent-street, every day from
twelve to two o'clock, and from three to five ; and from seven to nine
in the evening. The dwarfs are three in number, two males and a
emote (brothers and sister) ; they are fully equipped in the High-
laml garb, and perform a series of national, martial, and festive
dances. The two males, who are remarkably active, excel in the
celebrated Me Coullam, or Sword Dance ; and so extraordinary is
the muscular development of the eldest that he can with ease carry
two 561 h. weights about the room. He and his brother exhibit all
the positions of the broadside exercise with a precision that would do
honour to the first school of fence. And in addition to their other
accomplishments, they, in conjunction with their sister, sing the
beautiful airs of their native glens with exquisite taste and feeling.
As Mr. Mackenzie. who has these singular creatures under his
Protection, can (in consequence of his other engagements) remain but
a short time in town, the admirers of the wonderfhl in nature are
requested to pay an early visit.

THE PET FREEHOLD ESTATE OF THE COUNTY, WITH THE
MANOR AND ITS EXTENSIVE RIGHTS, THE ENTIRE
HAMLET OF WILLENHALL, A RESIDENCE IN THE
ELIZABETHAN STYLE ; FIVE SUPERIOR FARMS, 750
ACRES, WITH A TENANTRY QUITE UNEXCEPTIONABLE.
• THIS FINE PROPERTY APPROACHES THE CITY OF
COVENTRY, IS BOUNDED BY TWO RIVERS, AND THE
TURNPIKE ROAD DIVIDES THE PROPERTY. IT IS,
BESIDES, ALL TITHE-FREE, AND EXTRA-PAROCHIAL.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is favoured by in-
structions from the proprietor, to announce for public
competion, at the Auction Mart, London, on TUESDAY, the 16th of
June, at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot,
A FREEHOLD PROPERTY AND DEMESNE,
Of which it may well be said it has no fear of rivalry throughout this
admired county—indeed, the advantages are so many, and press in
such rapid succession upon the mind of the composer of this very
imperfect outline, that it is not a little difficult to state where to
begin. However, the effort must be made ; firstly,
IT IS DECIDEDLY, FOR ITS SIZE,
THE MOST ELIGIBLE, AND CERTAINLY THE
MOST COMPACT PROPERTY THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.
There can be no scepticism arise out of this assertion. No one can
with justice gainsay this high panegyric. It extends to
THE WHOLE HAMLET, TOGETHER WITH
THE EXTENSIVE MANOR OF WILLENHALL,
which is within two short miles of
THE ANCIENT. CITY OF COVENTRY.
FIVE CAPITAL FARMS,
WITH SUPERIOR BUILDINGS
AND WARM FARM-YARDS TO EACH,
AND ALL WITHIN A RING FENCE,
TITHE FREE AND EXTRA-PAROCHIAL,
extending to about
SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY ACRES
OF 111011 MEADOW. PASTURE, and ARABLE LAND,
entirely and strictly within a ring fence, including the prolific
woods. The rates are unusually small, arising out of the fact that
they are paid by a compromise with the

There are

LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY,
whose line passes through WiUmbel]. The soil is of first-rate quality,
as the crops annually demonstrate, and the rick yards verify. Every
Farm possesses a superior dwelling, with large garden, and the build-
ings essential for agricultural purposes are unexceptionable, in fact,
everything is in the most perfect apple-pie order. A microscopic eye
could hardly discover a single thing out of place, and with it:
A TENANTRY THAT MR. ROBINS PROCLAIMS
CAN NOT BE EXCELLED THROUGHOUT ENGLAND ;
AND HEAR IT ALL YE OF LITTLE FAITH IN
THE STAPLE COMMODITY OF THE COUNTRY,
"THERE IS NOT NOR HAS THERE 'BEEN
AN ARREAR OF ONE GUINEA DURING
THE LAST TEN YEARS."
It may now be asked, " Where is to be found a corresponding case?"
AND ECHO REJOINS " WHERE."
In respect to the auxiliaries not immediately sought in the shape of
income, it should be said

THE ADJOINING MANORS ARE STRICTLY PRESERVED
BY LORDS CRAVEN AND HOOD,
as also the Bagiaton and Brandon property. There is an abundance
of game, and field sports extend to a gentleman's fondest desire. The
Estate is bounded by two large rivers (the Avon and Sowe), which
furnish constant annseafent to those inclined to recreate in fishing.
THE ELIZABETHAN VILLA
is altogether adapted to a gentleman's occupation. It probably
might be improved by a finishing stroke from the hand of an artiste.
There is, besides, one of the farm-houses where the proprietor
would be but too happy to take up his quarters occasionallydaring the
sporting season. The next point requiring a commentary is the
rental—it must be premised—there are no leases. The present low
rental is 1,550/, a year; but it is quite manifest that
SEVENTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR
will be conceded as a MODERATE rent, and this should be secured
to the PRESENT GOOD MEN AND TRUE, by givng to each a
fourteen years' lease. James Mellor, Esq., who has so long domesti-
cated with his family on the hill, and whose quiet abode overlooks
Coventry and its beautiful spires, it would be in bad taste to refuse
a lease for his life, although it will probably, and it is to be hoped, be
a very long one. Longevity prevails on this healthy property, and
some time since this was prov4d by MR. BLUE (close by) retiring into
a better world, at the advanced age of 108. Mr. Mellor's grounds
are beautifully disposed, and more especially the wild flower-garden,
(under the worthy lady's especial care), which gives to it a pleasing
variety- LORD CRAVEN AND LORD HOOD
are close allies ;
AND THE ESTATE OF THE BROTHER OF
SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART.
_ is close at hand.

The farms are very productive in the soil for white crops, especially
wheat and barley, with some admirable turnip land ; but as dairy
farms, and to fatten bullocks, they have even a higher claim. The
contiguity to one of the first markets In England, and the facility to
return manure, whenever the good folks of Coventry are indulged
with a portion of the produce of this highly cultivated soil, are ad-
vantages that a good agricultttrist will' not overlook. And now, by
way of conclusion, Mr. Robins will ask, and with earnestness (taking
into the scale the great curiosity that prevails everywhere to get
into good farms now-a-days), if the every day observation, resound-
ing now from all quarters, that

THE AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN MORE
FRIGHTENED THAN HURT,
is not rendered most manifest by the above unassuming recital
of facts ?

The particulars are ready, and will be distributed, with a draw-
ing, on the plan with the Elizabethan Villa, by Mr. Phillips, Jun., of
Coventry. His father (the eminent practitioner of this great city)
will also take the trouble to give all essential explanation, and appoint
af t man to go over the estate.

Auction Mart, and at Air. George Robins's offices, London.

IN SURREY.
A FREEHOLD INVESTMENT, PRODUCING 2861., arising from
a DELIGHTFUL PROPER EY, the WOODMANSTERNE
MANOR FARM, with CAPITAL RESIDENCE, GARDENS,
and GROUNDS, and 122 ACRES of ORNAMENTAL and PRO-
DUCTIVE LAND, and valuable Manorial Rights.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to submit
to public Sale, at the Auction Mart, on TUESDAY, June 23,
at Twelve, in One Lot,
A most desirable FREEHOLD ESTATE, pleasantly situate about
three miles.from Carshalton, five from Croydon and Epsom, two-
and-a-half miles only from the Stoat's Nest Station on the Brighton
and Dover Railway, and

IN IMMEDIATE PROXIMITY TO THE OAKS,
so justly celebrated as the most attractive and salubrious part of
THE COUNTY OF SURREY,
especially to those inclined to field sports, the Surrey Fox Hounds
meeting in the neighbourhood: The estate is known as
THE WOODMANSTERNE MANOR FARM,
comprising a very inviting residence, delightlUlly situate, command-
ing extensive views, perfectly dry, and possessing every accommoda-
tion for a family of consequence ; approached by a carriage drive ;
seated in its lawn and pleasure-grounds, which are tastefblly laid out
and adorned with flowering shrubs, ornamental timber, and planta-
tions, with sheet of water ha front.
The offices are admirably arranged. Double coach-house, five-
stall stable, and every essential for domestic comfort ; together with
122 ACRES OF PRODUCTIVE LAND,
divided into arable, pasture, and wood; the greater portion very
compact excellent agricultural buildings, and others yielding a source
of profit. Also,

THE FREEHOLD MANORIAL RIGHTS,
including quit rents, court leet, and all appurtenances belonging
thereto, adding no little importance to the property, which is let on
leave to George Reid, Esq., for a term of twelve years, from 1842, at
A LOW RENT OF 2861. 16s. A-YEAR,
with power to further increase the term for nine years, offering a
most secure and advantageous investment for capital, and one free
from doubt or risk.

The estate may be viewed by permission of the tenant, and par-
ticulars, with plans annexed, had at the Greyhound, Croydon, and
Carshalton ; of Mr. F. B. Hoare, solicitor, 30, Lincoln's Inn-flelds ;

:N THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND RECHERCHE PART OF
GLOUCESTERSHIRE, NEARLY MIDWAY BETWEEN CLIF-
TON AND THE SEVERN, ONE OF THE MOST PERFECT
VILLAS WITH ITS APPURTENANCES IN ENGLAND;
AROUND IT ARE ITS PLEASURE-GROUNDS, A DEMESNE
EXTENDING TO 50 ACRES, ALL FREEHOLD AND LANP-
TAX REDEEMED.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS has pleasure in stating
he has been selected to TRANSFER, without a limited price,
at the White Lion Hotel, Bristol, on Thursday, the 25th of June, at
one, for Two o'clock, precisely, in Two Lots.
A SINGULARLY DELIGHTFUL
and altogether a

MOST ELIGIBLE PROPERTY.
is well known and highly appreciated as
THE SEVERN HOUSE DEMESNE,

four miles from Bristol and Clifton, on the road to the splendid
river Severn and the passage Into-Monmouthshire. A description
of this villa abode is a matter of necessity, but the writer feels that
his representation must necessarily be 'very incomplete, inasmuch, as
although it will be conceded that there are to be found a little host
of elegant abodes in progressing through the romantic drive of four
miles, yet it is confidently stated that there L nothing to present
itself that can be put in juxta-position with Severn House. The
position is remarkable for the capability it affords to partake in an
unusual degree of the extent, and what may really be justly termed
TRANSCENDENTLY BEAUTIFUL SCENERY.
It would almost wear the patience of the reader to extend the descrip-
tion of all the writer saw, and strived to appreciate, but it is believed a
very few gleanings will suffice to call up the attention of all such as
would enjoy the pure, unsophisticated air of Gloucestershire, in a
villa which it is universally conceded, stands alone both for situation
and prepossessing appearance.
It is placed on a lofty and beauteous eminence, but the luxuriant
shrubberies and plantations that encircle it, keep the cold winds at a
most respectable distance, arid in accomplishing this desideratum, it
would appear that fairy land has been sought to aid the great
design. On perambulating through these splendid grounds the views
are (en verite) magnificent, and the extent almost without a limit.
THE CONFLUENCE OF THE SEVERN AND THE AVON
is immediately in view, and the perpetual moving scenery in the dis-
tance must be seen if the realer desires to appreciate it, for it is quite
certain this imperfect account will leave an immeasurable host of ob-
jects entirely disregarded.
Here rising boughs, adorned with summer's pride,
Project their waving umbrage o'er the tide;
While, gently perching on •the leafy spray,
Each feather'd warbler tunes his various lay.
The road from Clifton is full of variety, and on arriving
at the Severn Mansion, it will be perceived much of ingenuity
must have been brought into the field to accomplish the delightful
ascent to be encountered ftom the very pretty entrance-lodge-gate
but the reader is invoked, and with no small portion of anxiety,
not to rely on anything short of ocular demonstration ;
as the fame of this residence has extended far and near,
It necessarily renders it a work of supererogation and lightens
the necessity to go into a more minute detail than this hasty compo-
sition will furnish. Clifton, the great feature of Gloucestershire, is
close at hand, and becomes an auxiliary that it would be an injustice
to overlook. The neighbourhood is prone to good-fellowship, but if the
fortunate occupant prefers quietude and repose to the gaiety that will
surround him, he may enjoy it here uninterruptedly. All the great
lions of the county are close at hand.

THE FAMED PIERCEFIELD
is only a short drive, and Barnsville-park, a minor candidate for
fame, is not far off, the verdant seenery which interposes itself in
the progress to these highly commended properties extends over a
vale so rich and lovely that its beauties seem to exceed the powers
of commendation, and be it remembered all this (and very much
more than has been asserted in this brief analysis) is within four
hours' pleasant drive of the metropolis of London.
This delightful abode has not yet been noticed sufficiently.
" THERE IS THAT WITHIN WHICH PASSETH SHOW."
It is a building of considerable pretensions in its outward and visible
signs; and a family, although numbering very many, will find the most
ample accommodation within ; it may be added, that it lacks
nothing that can be understood in the comprehensive term of com-
fort. The out-offices are most complete throughout, the court-
yard is worthy of admiration, and a sporting gentleman will
find in the stabling and coach houses all that ingenuity can
suggest. The kitchen-gardens are very extensive, inclosed by lofty
brick walls, and the soil is exceedinglyprolific ; the fruit is considered
unusually high flavoured.

THE HOT AND SUCCESSION•HOUSES
are quite perfect, and the produce is beyond praise. There is
besides A BEAUTIFUL FRENCH GARDEN,
in excellent taste, and shedding its beauteous fragrance on all around,
and THE BOTANIC WORLD WILL GLEAN

2G, CORNIIILL. LONDON.

Empowered by Act of Paidiament.
This Institution embraces important and substantial advantages
with respect to Life Assurances and Deferred Annuities. The assured

feiture of the Policy, two-tkirds of the premiums paid (see Table) ;

terests to meet ()thee conveniences or necessity.
Assurances for terms of years are granted on the lowest possible
rates.

DIVISION OF PROFITS.
The remarkable success and increasing prosperity of the Society
has enabled the Directors, at the last annual invutleation, to declare
a fourth bonus, varying from 35 to 85 per cent. on the premiums paid
on each Policy effected on the Profit scale.

EXAMPLES.

from these gardens considerable knowledge, the bulbs being a selec-
tion in great part imported from Harlem, and of the choicest speci-
mens that that city is famed for. The scenery everywhere appears
interminable, tends to give a pleasing variety, which again, it is pro-
claimed, fears nothing by a comparison throughout this far-famed
county. It is in the midst of plenty, everything very reason-
able—the sea close at hand, and Bristol and Clifton pour in their
auxiliaries daily.
THE DEMESNE EXTENDS TO
FIFTY ACRES OF ADMIRABLE LAND,

in which is included
A SNUG LITTLE FARM-HOUSE AND BUILDINGS,

source to fill up an occasional idle hour, beside leisure in improving

this seat of happy contentment. The progress to the summit of this

to cross-examine any of the Luton witnesses in future. He sub-
mittel that these two Bills ought to proceed independently of each
other.
Mr. WELL, having replied, and Mr. HOPE having rejoined,
The Committee ord4red the room to be cleared. On our return,-
The CHAtastAs said the Committee are of opinion that the London
and Birmingham (St. Alban's and Litton), and the:London and York.
(St. Alban's, Luton and Duststable), are competing lines, and have
resolved that they be treated at such.
Mr. DErixisox then proceeded with the cross-examination of Mr.
Sibley.
Mr. Howse, of Wheathamstead ; Mr. Lewin, of Harpenden ; Mr.
Rogers, of Dunstable; and Mr. Richardson, Mr.,lfarris, and Mr.
Wingrove, of Luton, the two first being farmers, and the others
straw-plait manufacturers, gave general evidence in favour of the
London and York (Luton French).
On Mr. DENNISON rising to cross-examine Mr. Lewin,
Mr. WELLS requested to beallowed to ask a question of his Learned
Friend. He wished to blow how it was that his Learned Friend so
soon had forgotten the good resolution he had made in the early
part of the morning, not to cross-examine any of the Luton wit-
nesses ? It was hardly fair for his friend to take this course after
the implied promise contain, d in his assertion that he did not mean
to cross-examine any Luton witnesses.
Mr. DENNISON wished to know whether much time would be saved
by his friend being allowed to cross-examine him ? lie proceeded
with the cross-examination of the witnesses.
Several other witnessesfroinSt.Albaws and Luton Ns ere then called,
and gave general evidence as to the straw-plait, road., and other trades
of those places.

the day, and at about twenty minutes past four o'clock the Com-
mutes adjourned till Thursday, the I I th of June, when they will meet
at twelve o'clock. The engineering evidence and some formal busi-
nus will then be proceeded with.

Mr. H. C. Lacey:, chairman of the Ely and Bury Company aid
chairman of the Huntingdon Company, as well as a director of the
South Western Company, stated that the project was first conceived
in 1844, and would have been brought sooner before Parliament, but
for the illness of Mr. Buck, the engineer. The object of his evidence
was to show that this being a branch line, the establishment of a
staff for; management Would answer for other lines as well as this,

Mr. Kerling, the steward of Sir H. Bunbury, who has more than
8,000 acres at Mildenhall, where the sessions are held, said in the neigh-
bourhood there are extensive gravel pits, the extracts of which are
largely used in the repair of the few roads, and if this line were es-
tablished, the cost of carriage would be reduced by 28. a ton.
Mr. Gwilt, an extensive landowner on the line, testified to the
quantity of gravel which is obtained for the improvement of the
roads of the neighbourhood.

Mr. B. Jennings, of Bury St. Edmund's (which is one of the
largest seed markets in England, and the largest corn market in
Suffolk), stated that from the 9th April, 1845, to Ist April, 1846, there
were 162,000 quarters of corn sold; and of seeds there are between
3,000 and 4,000 tons sold every year. The line is of vital import-
ance, for should this railway not be made, the inhabitants of Bury
would become the servants of the merchants at Lynn and Ipswich.
Mr. O'MALLEY appeared for the Corporation of Bury, and put in
an interlocutory, as the line affected Bury.
Mr. Croft; au auctioneer and surveyor, stated that the line would

Mr. SELVE, for the ironmasters of the district near Dudley, stated
that what they principally objected to in the matters of tolls was the
six miles clause, which gave the company power to charge for one
mile as for six miles, and the per centage clause, which allowed the
Company to charge 25 per cent. more when the carriage
was under 23 miles. They wished in the one case a two mile clause.
Witnesses were called to give evidence on the subject of tolls.
After considerable discussion,
Mr. COCKBURN offered for the Companyafcar mile clause, but this
was rejected.
The room was then cleared.
on re-admission parties were told that the determination of the
Committee on the six:mile clause was that that clause should be left
undisturbed on the main line, but in reference to the side line the
Committee were prepared to recommend, atter what had passed, that
not a four mile but a three mile clause should be adopted.
Some debate afterwards arose concerning saving clauses as to the
interests of the Warwick and Birmingham Canal.
But the Committee seeing they could not go through all the clauses
