SALE OF THE FERI%IOY ESTATE.

(From the Cork Evening Ileeald7)

At half-past two o'clock on Mendny last, the Great Room
of the Imperial Clarence Hotel, exhibited a vast concourse of
the resident gentry of our city and county, to witness the dis-
posal of this very extensive estate. After Mr. W. W. Simp-s
son had read the conditions upon which the sale would be
effected.--

Mr. REED desired to know whether, in the event of the
title not being made good, the money which would be depo-
sited in part payment for the same, by the purchaser or pur-
chasers, would be repaid, with the amount of interest which
would arise out of it ? Such, they were aware, was the gene-
ral practice, on all sales effected in the Court of Chancery.
Was. B. WALLACE, Esq. replied, by stating that if the title
was not made good, the deposit advanced-would in that case be
refunded, with 5 per cent. interest.
Mr. W. W. SIMPSON then read the following, from which
it will be seen that the estate is very extensive ; and cannot
prove otherwise than a very valuable investment for the pur-
chaser.

The Fermoy estate is freehold and tithe free, and situate
18 miles north of the city of Cork, on the high road to Dublin.
It comprehends the manor of Fermoy, the tolls and customs of
the markets and fairs held in the town, and 940 acres of pro-
ductive arable, fine grazing wood land, of which about 301
acres are on the north side of the river, and 639 acres on the
south side, exclusive of the sites of the barracks, dwelling-
houses, buildings, orchards, nurseries, gardens and yards in
and about the town, which embrace an extent of about 98
acres, making in the whole 1,038 acres, 16 perches. The
town is built in an uniform and handsome manner, on the'
banks of the Blackwater river, and contains a population of
nearly 7,000 inhabitants. The buildings comprise a very ex-
tensive brewery, flour mills of great magnitude and of a most
superior description, 7 detached family mansions surrounded
by pleasure grounds and gardens, the King's Arms and
Murphy's Hotels, upwards of 650 excellent residences, public
and private houses, shops, cottages, and tenements, together
with the mail-coach yard and stabling of great extent, a paper
mill, several store-houses, manufacturing premises, and a vast
number of other buildings, applied to a variety of purposes.
The property is let as follows, viz.—on leases for ever ; on
leases for lives and various fixed terms, mostly renew-
able ; and to Tenants at will. The Rental amounts altoge-
ther to 50731. ls. aid., per annum, British currency, and is
generally well secured, a considerable portion of the income
consisting of land rents. Fermoy is an inland town, delight-
fully situate, and a permanent and considerable Military Sta-
tion, which greatly adds to its trade and prosperity. It is
a good market for all descriptions of grain, and water-car-
riage is only 10 miles distant.
The only out-goings to which the estate is subject are as
follows :

Quit and Crown Rents l7l. 2s. sd. per ann.
Salary to the. Curate of the Parish 181. 9s. 3d.

After reading the above, Mr. Simpson said that this was
the second time he appeared in this part of Ireland for the ptir-
pose of disposing of extensive estates ;—on the former occa-
sion he was singularly successful, and he felt confident from
the great kindness he had experienced from many of the gen-
tlemen who then surrounded him, that he should have to con-
gratulate himself upon a similar good fortune now. He was
happy in being acquainted with many of the gentlemen who
were then present, and as he regarded truth, he begged to as-
sure them that he would never mystify, by any exaggerations
of his own, any of those extensive estates which he had been
honoured by offering to them for disposal. For the last two
years he had been principally engaged in offering estates for
sale in Ireland, and he had invariably, as he had been in.
formed, given very general satisfaction both to venders
and purchasers, the purchaser and the disposer. In the
present case, he would offer the Fermoy Estate in one
lot, which, if npt then disposed of, he would offer in
55 Lots as had been advertised, setting forth the par-
ticulars of each with some appropriate remarks, and as he pro-
gressed through them, he should feel most happy in returning
answers to any interrogatories which might be put to him, with
respect to the situation and capabilities of each lot. hi which-
ever manner the estate was disposed of, whether in the whole
or in divisions, the gentlemen around him might feel assured
that it was most beautifully situated, and perhaps, for he had
been at much pains to survey and examine it, the handsomest
in this country. Kinsale may be considered as in a corner of
this county, while Fermoy is situated in the high road to Dub-
lin, with an excellent and highly respectable landed proprietary
resident in its vicinity, and it may fairly be anticipated, that
when improvements are made in Ireland, such as are needed—
and every Administration ought to legislate for it—and when
English capital is introduced into this country, that then For-
moy would be greatly benefitted in particular, while Ireland
generally would weather all the storms which at present lower
over her politi6l hemisphere. It was unnecessary to varnish
or over-colour this picture ; every person who read the pros-
pectus must see, that there was on the estate several very large
manufactories, comprising a paper and flour mill, with a large
and extensive brewery, while the rents are well collected, and
the habits of the people being industrious anti moderate,
labour is procurable at a very small remuneration. Ano-
ther great advantage which this country, as well
as the United Kingdom will, shortly possess, in addition
to the Steam Navigation which now prevails, will be that of
the great Rail-roads, which are now progressing throughout
England, and which have commenced so auspiciously in Ire-
land, and which will shortly, no doubt, intersect this part of the
United Kingdom. When English capital would flow in this
country, for without, or independent of the resources of Eng-
land, this country cannot prosper, Fermoy must unquestionably
benefit by such a happy circumstance. Then would that de-
plorable system of the combination of factions and of parties,
which at present distract this country, be for ever abolished,
and by a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether, we
would remodel those institutions, which have stood so long the
pride and the boast of our country, where reformation could be
considered requisite, and we would establish them still further
on a mare permanent basis. He would not detain them longer
with those observations which had siiggested themselves to his
mind, but would, without further preface, offer the entire of
.the .Fermoy Estate for 65,000/. • •
In about ten minutes afterwards, it was knocked down, as
stated. 144f1y in our last, to Sir- Robert Abercrombie, Bart.,
of Birkenburgh, Banffshire, Scotland, for 70,000 L, after a
short competition between the gentlemen present, outbidding
each other by 500/. the lowest offer that would be accepted.
Thui has the Fermoy Estate been disposed of, through the
efficient skill and ability of Mr. W. W. Simpson, and when
we learn that within the last six months this gentleman has
disposed of three different -estates in this country—the Down-
patrick, Kinsale, and now the Fermoy, amounting in all, to
upwards of 300,0004, vie cannot but think that he has been
eminently successful. •

Lieut. Campbell of the Royal Artillery (son of Colonel

canoe approached, in which was a party of gentlemen return-
ing from an excursion. By some accident a gun in the hands
of one of the gentlemen went off, the contents of which struck
Lieut. Campbell in the head of the knee-joint, and so shock-
ingly fractured it as to render amputation above the knee im-
mediately necessary. We are happy to say that he was doing
as well as could possibly be expected. Colonel Mitchell's
company has arrived at Clonmell from Dublin to replace Major
Jackson's. Colonel Foster's term
