and altogether a

MOST ELIGIBLE PROPERTY.
It is well known and highly appreciated as
THE SEVERN tIOUSE 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 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 is nothing to present
itself that can he put in juxta-position with Severn Rouse. 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 BEAIIIIFIIL SCENERY

It would almost wear the patience of the reader to extend the descrip.
lion of all the writer saw, and strived to appreciate, but it is believed a
very few gleanings will suffice to tall up the attention of all such as
would enjoy the pure, unsophisticated air of Gloucestershire, in a
villa which it is universally conceded, stand 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, and 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 reader 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 featber'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 the field to accomplish the delightful
ascent to be encountered from the very pretty entrance-lodge-gate;
but the reader is invoked, and with no small portion of anxiety,
not to rely cn 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 gond-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 groat
lions of the county are close at hand.
THE FAMED PIERSEFIELD
is only a short drive, and Barnsville-park, a minor candidate for
fame, is not far off, the ♦erdant 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 ha- 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 themost
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 exceecUnglyprolific ; 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
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, tears 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 Inchided

A SNUG LITTLE FARM-HOUSE AND BUILDINGS,
giving to the iicdustrious views of the proprietor a very.delightful re-
source to fill up an occasional idle hour. beside leisure in improving
the breed of his cattle, thus combining. the art of driving away
ennui (if it should presume to make its unwelcome appearance) from
this scat of happy contentment. The proaress to the summit of this
QUITE PERFECT BIJOU
has been the work of considerable tact and judgment. It is almost
imperceptible, arising from the constant occupation of the mind in
admiring and beholding tile scenery around. The prolific array of
American shrubs is seen in proud competition with the plants from
Harlem. From the elevated spot, in these woods are
seen the Castle of Blaize, and the ruins of Mr. Cave's
and Ragland Castle; indeed
There is nothing left to fancy's guess,
You see that all is loveliness.
By way of conclusion it should be' remarked that, in
spite of wintry winds, the full growth of the Plantations
excludes the possibility of its penetrating to the abode,
Thy ensemble to which the Severn Property puts in an irresist-
ibleclaim is perfect. It would puzzle ingenuity to discover a solitary
fault. It can only be seen on Tuesdays and Saturdays from twelve till
five o'clock, and not without a particular and drawing (which will
