IT WILL NOT BE QUITE SACRILEGE

to designate it
A VERY HUMBLE RIVAL TO STRAWBERRY HILL.
There so much to commend throughout that it will be difficult to
avoid injustice in shortening the representation which custom has
awarded to such announcements. It mill probably be enough to
enlist the attention of the scientific world to state that those who

receptacle of so many and such varied trea4ures.
THE ANCIENT M ANSION

ON THE SUMMIT OF RICHMOND HILL
(to which the Countess, some ten years since, added the two
wings, and encountered an outlay of ten thousand pounds) is, despite
of this (in candour it must be proc'aimed), in need of a searching
repair; this, with the aid of a decorator gifted with a brain farm,
wilt then surpass its original character and it will not be doubted
that the splendid scenery in front (which it is fearle sly
asserted is not surpassed throughout the kingdom) will render
the expense a matter of little import; in fact, not worth a second
thought.—The following is a short analysis of the treat which is in
store to all those who know how to appreciate a singular combination
of taste and vertu,

as one magical attraction of the thin itable powers of those Artists
whose works have adorned the historic pages of art during past
centuries.
A considerable number of the pictures recorded by the engravings
in this work were restored at the conquest of Paris to the various
Governments to whom they originally belonged, and thereby so dis.
persed the collection as to increase the high and just estimate of this
matchless work of art. This copy was purchased at Paris .n the year
1514, and to its continuation by Louis XVIII.. also subscribed for,
splenaidly bound in rusia, in six vols. folio. Also.

famed ior its capability in fattening Bullocks very quickly, and those

who are at al: conversant in the soil of the land will know how to
appreciate these irn; ortant facts.
The whole is occupied by a tenantry of long standing as tenants-at-
will; it will, however, be exceedingly desirable to make in this
respect very considerable alterations. The Farms aro used in
their ancient state, and are infinitely too small. Sound judg-
ment will direct that they be divided into fivo or six, instead
of the present numb7r ; it will then be a matter of great
facility to provide substantial Yeomen to get rich upon this
greatly favoured soil: but Mr. Robins would fail in his duty
to the Public if he did not state Hat the Hduses arid Out-Buildings
throughout the Property are greatly in need of repair ; indeed, the
suggestion he would venture to make is, to rase them to !he ground,
and with the materials, and less than .£2,000, Three First-rate
Abodes, with
_corresponding farming premises, replace the present
works of antiquity. It should be observed that there is a saving
clause to this proposition, inasmuch as Robert Searby's abode and
buildings need no out ay whatever, and this is the largest farm.
THE PROPERTY NUMBERS
TWELVE HUNDRED AND FIVE ACRES,
INDEPENDENTLY OF THE TITHES UPON THE ESTATE.
THE WHOLE WITHIN A RING FENCE,
besides the unpretending, but really comfortable little public-house,
known as " the Monson Arms," where " mine host" Eno knows
and practices what belongs t 3 the entertainment and comfort of his
friends.

The next important point will be to direct a purchaser's judgment
to the rental. The clear yearly receipt for years back has been
£2,660 a year. The times having varied, Mr. Robins has subjected it
to a careful personal survey, and he is not a little pleased to proclaim
a very welcome fact, that when the outlay already noticed is accom-
plished, the property will very readily produce, with an unexcep-
tionable tenantry, from .-C2,700 to
Two THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR.
The division of the soil is very encouraging ; there are 52. l acres of
capital Grazing Land, 230 acres of excellent Meadow Land, and 455
acres of soil congenial to Wheat and Oats ; the former yielding five
and six quarters and the latter frcm seven to ten quarters per acre.
Now this representation of the Estate cannot be charg d with colour-
ing the Landscape beyond its deserts ; and it may be well to remind
such as were last year sceptical in respect to the corn-laws, that the
agricultural horizon is no longer clouded by doebt or uncertainty—
the manly, judicious, and unequivocal declaration of
SIR R. ,BER PEEL
ought to quiet the apprehensions of all those whet desire to see the
agriculturing and manufacturing interests go quietly in harness toge-
ther, without any undue partiality. Indeed, his declaration is so en-
couraging, I cannot do better than quote his own words—ie will, or
ought to silence scepticism :
" I NEITHER HAVE, NOR DO I CONTEMPLATE
ANY CHANGE WHATEVbR IN THE
CORN-LA WS."
To conclude, Trustees, and all persons having their capital depo-
' sited in the funds, will do well to ponder, and to exercise their
understanding, and the result must (or ought to be) that Three
per Cents. at PS is a tearfully high and unnatural price as com-
pared with Land which will now return a clear income of Three and
a Half per Cent., with prospective views exceedingly defighttul,
when placed in juxtapi,sition with the Funds.

THE MANOR AND MANORIAL RIGHTS

give consequence to thepossessorTto say nothing of the value of
the sporting. By the way, we must not overlook a feature which,
in days of yore, was accounted of importance, nothing less than a
GOLD MINE.
Extract from a description of England and Wales in 1769 ;—" It
ought not to be omit, ed, that at Taynton, near Newent, on the
northern borders of this forest, a Gold Mine was discovered about
the year 1:00, of which a lease was granted to some refiners, who ex.
tracted some gold from the ore, but had not spirit to follow it up."
Again, in England a Gazetteer, printed in 1790, is the fidlowing:—
Taynton, Gloucestershire, four miles S. E. ftom Newent, six from
Mitchel-Dean, and seven W. from Gloucester. In 1700, there was an
OBE found here, from which the refiners extracted gold," but they
alto lacked enterprise.
Mining and refining is now a much more simple and less expensive
operation than it was a century ago. A spirited individual will, in
all probability, find this
" A MINE OF WEALTH."
Cheltenham, the most fashionable watering place in England, is
only a short role, and is a capital market, as well as Gloucester,
for all the roduce. Its exemption from tithe, to a great extent, is
an important feature.
