commissioned, unless previously disposed of by P
Treaty, to SIJIINfIT to public COMPETITION, at the Mart,
on TUESDAY, September 17.
The above most desirable and distinguished COUNTRY SEAT,
with manor and fine domain, embracing in a perfect ring fence,
nearly 2.500 acres intersected by a fine stream, with a range of
valuable ineadoWs, surrounding the elegant mansion of Clermont
Lodge, which has been greatly enlarged and improved within the
last few years. The house :is very superior as to Its arrangements
and elegant fittings, opening with south aspect to an Ital Lin flower
garden, parterre, and terrace, and the park-like paddocks. The
offices arc very complete for a large establishment, and the stables
are new. The gardens are well planned with ranges of hot-houses,
connected by,gravelled walks with the pleasure grounds. ' The farm
homesteads are of a superior description, with cottages, keepers' and
ether lodges, and the estatejudieleusly divided into six capital farms,
and the whole estate richly belted and studded with luxuriant plan-
tations and woods full of game, and intersected by beautiful drives
and walks,. The home demesne is laid out with great judgment and
taste, embracing a magnificent oak wood. The judicious openings
awl beautiful formation of the clumps and groves, with the inter-
mixture of various kinds of trees and wild cover, afford a remark-
ably tine contrast of light and shade, and cheerful scenery front the
house. Tho gains preserves are.considered almost unequalled. A
very large outlay having been lately made en the house, offices, gar-
dens, and grounds, every part is in the highest order. and altogether
it will be found a most desirable and complete residential property,
and an excellent landed investment, with an opportunity now of
greatly extending the domain. It is about eight miles from Swaff-
ham and Brandon (where are railway Stations), only one hour's ride
from Norwich, and six from town, and in, the midst of a distin-
guished neigbourhood.
The estate may be viewed, and particulars, with plans, had on the
premises; at the chief hotels at Norwich; at the Mart ; of William
Murray, Esq,,, Solicitor, 11, London-street, London ; and of Messrs.
Daniel Smith and Son, Land Agents, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall.

the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.

the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
