THE MARCH OF IMPROVEMENT,
progressing at .a railway pace, from the new Palace towards the once
favoured abode of
LORD AND LADY CREMORNE
warrants the fearless assertion that a spirited individual, with
a moderate capital, and 'an observing and reflecting mind, must
soon realise a large fortune; if he possess but tact and can
beget novelty, he will leave no feeling-of lament that the purified
spirit of old Vauxhall has risen in amore fashionable region. During
this month, THREE GALA DAYS have delighted thousands of
visitors, and put an enormous gain into the pocket of the spirited in-
dividual who originated it The letting of the Grounds for public or
private fetes, flower-shows, &c., will proceed without interruption,

Mr. Robins would enlist the capitalist a d speculator to bear in
mind that a SPLENDID INDEPENDENCE can be reaped by skil-
ful management. The situaticn is in itself beautiful, anti of daily
increasing importance.
THE ELEGANT MANSION
has always been an object of admiration.to the throngs gaily gliding
on Old rather Thames on steamers in rapid succe,ion ; its conve-
niences are very perfect, inc.uding suites of chambers of noble pro-
portions, the five principal apartments on the ground floor cemmu.
meeting, and forming an extent of 100 feet, all beautifully deco-
rated ; the floors of fine oak, the doors of polished mahogany, and
the windows of plate glass ; numerous sleeping chambers, and ex..
cellent offices. It would seem that, as

MANSION, EXTENSIVE PLANTATIONS AND GAR.
DENS, AND A DOMAIN EXTENDING TO 550 ACRES,
including most valuable, building Sites near Westend, and a

R. GEORGE ROBINS 43 favoured by the in-
'structions of the Trustees of the late JAMES BARLOW
HOY, Esq., to offer to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auc-
tion Mart, on THURSDAY, the lath of June next, at Twelve.o'clock,
in Lots,.
•THE MOST.ELIGIBLE ESTATE IN THE ENVIRONS OF.
SOUTHAMPTON.
This diatinguishe I abode, which has always held a high place in
public estimation, may now, by its dole approxiination to
THE CHOSEN SEAT •OF ROYALTY,
claim to be one of the . •
MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES IN- HER MAJESTY'S
DOMINIONS.
• • THE THORNHILL PARK ESTATE
was the favourite abode of
JAMES BARLOW HOY, ESQ., •
who for a lengthened period was • " •

THE M.P. FOR SOUTHAMPTON,
and it is a fact not to be impeached, that if the new purchaser
partakes of his hospitality and sound political creed,
"HE WILL WALK . OVER THE COURSE WHENEVER
• , THE NEXT ELECTION ARRIVES
THE 'MANSION is the cpmmanding feature of the property,
and may claim to be one of the great lions in this delightful
vicinity, for the late lamented PropOstior has, in its completion,
spared no expense to combine in unequivocal taste
LUXURY AND SPLENDOUR, WITH THE MOST PER-
FECT FAMILY CONVENIENCE.
Some idea of the rise of the house may be afforded by the enu.
meration of the principal apartments, with which every portion of
the building is consistent. Drawing-room, 40 feet by 24 ; ante- •
drawing-room, 30 feet by 20; billiard-room and vestibule, library
and Museum, and dining-room. The external architectural form is
very chaste ; the front adorned by six lofty pillars, with a paved
gallery leading to the terrace walk, extending to the shrubberies
and plantations, which are laid out in the best taste. The entree
is by a covered approach... Within the Mansion its advantages and
capability may be summed up in one short sentence—
" NOTHING WHATEVER IS LEFT TO BE DESIRED."
To a Nobleman whose sphere of duties attaches him to the Court of
his Sovereign—to an East Indian seeking for an appropriate Resi
dence, in which to prolong his days in the enjoyment of his vast
acquisitions, with increasing health, yet with Oriental magnificence—
or to a member of "-THE ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON," who
seeks to invite propinquity to the rendezvous, or the comforts of a
luxurious home, a residence is here offered combining advantages
not to be equalled in the neighbourhood.
THE DOMAIN EXTEND TO 550 ACRES;
including the Thornhill Farm, •of 200 acres, one portion of which'
•is of especial value, as offering an undeniable source of increasing
revenue in the rapid formation of a small and select town, which is
already rising on the estate, in elegant and detached villa residences.
Theshort distance from Southampton, combined with the extreme
beauty and healthiness of situation, offer the greatest attractions to
a fashionable and opulent society. Portions of the estate have
been already let off on building leases, at rents producing Is. 6d.
and 2s. per foot frontage, while the most beautiful sites are still
unlet. About 45 acres of the most luxuriant ar-and larch plan.
. tations, and an equal quantity of valuable land,forming a small
farm, are still available for this importatt purpose; and the recent
erection of

THE NORMAN GOTHIC CHURCH.
is the best proof of the increasing PoPtllatien of the neighbourhood.
At a short distance is Micferiburg, presenting another most important
field for a building speculation. The Thir.y.two Acres comprise
every variety of hill and dale, with views extending to the Isle of
Wight, while
THE SOUTHAMPTON WATERS AND THE NEW FOREST
appear close at hand. This site has been pronounced by an ex-
taste to be the most
of Hampshire. In short,
the property, whether taken as:a.whole or in the detached portions,

the

as intended to be offered for Sale, is .in every point of view in.

opportunity as is here presented to them.

Mlt GEORGE ROBINS is favoured by the
instructions of the Executors of WILLIAM DEANE, Esq.,
lately &ceased, to OFFER to PUBLIC SALE, at the Auction
Mart, London, on TUESDAY. June 18, at Twelve o'Clock, in
Lots (and in pursuance of the Will it will be without reserve),
a very important Freehold Property.
THE ALTON HALL ESTATE AND DEMESNE,

chester Terminus, and only separated from

by the ornamental river Stour. By the way, it is well to notice an

is in reserve for the next Proprietor of Alton Hall.
In describing this estate, it is not easy to know where to begin;
it is so fruitful in its advantages that a little judgment is required
to make them all manifest in such a confined space. First and
foremost requiring our consideration, is "the gentlemanly abode;"
it is of a character to render it suitable to a gentleman who would
prefer comfort to outward splendour ; but it is not without the
capability to put on another character, and to soar very high, with.
out encountering a serious outlay ; and the situation is so beauteous
that no one would hesitate in its adoption. It is on an elevated
