R. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to SELL

A VALUABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE,
THE HOUGHTON HALL ESTATE.
THE-PROPERTY OF GEORGE FERGUSON, ESQ.

It embraces altogether a most desirable opportunity to invest in
perfect security, and enjoy the delight of a residence which has al.
way been accounted one of the most desirable in this greatly
adorned neighbourhood. It is suited to a gentleman of high re
spectability, who wou'd domesticate in
ONE OF THE MOST FAVOURED COUNTIES IN
ENGLAND; _ _

and from the advantage of the Railway, the distance from London
is•now accomplished after an early breakfast, by arriving in time for
a good dinner. It has abundant accommodation with t ooms of
excellent proportions, and domestic otfices throughout in good
keeping with the whole.
THE GARDENS AND PLEASURE GROUNDS,
SHRUBBERIES AND PLANTATION WALKS,
are in very good taste. The talented Mr. Gilpin is the Artiste
who arrived at this distinction.
THE PARK IS PRETTILY TIMBERED; WITH
A REFRESHING RIVULET PASSING THROUGH,
and so situated as to be capable of adapting :t
TO ORNAMENTAL WATERS.
Connected is A MOST DESIRABLE FARM,
Tile,drained, with a superior farm house and buildings, wh 'eh, with
the home grounds, extend to
THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY THREE ACRES.
There is an equal proportion of pasture and meadow land, with
some good wheat and turnip soil. It is greatly underlet, but the
lease is expiring, whets it will be augmented. The field sports are
amongst its manifold advantages. At the present moment the
mansion and estate are let, but with an agreement in respect to
resuming possession. The neighburhood is dotted around by
country seats, and hospitality is a motto that prevails in the neigh.
bourhood. The tithe and poor rates are exceedingly moderate.
Particulars may be had of Messrs. Nanson, solicitors, Castle.
street, Carlisle ; and Mr. George Robins's, offices, London.

In NORTH WALES, near to the RAILWAY from LONDON
to HOLYHEAD, at LLANRWST, a most important FREE-
HOLD ESTATE, extending to 2,500 Acres of Rich Land, for
division in LOTS, with capital FARM RESIDENCES and
AGRICULTURAL BUILDINGS, together with the PRIN-
CIPAL INN, and a considerable PORTION of the TOWN,
close to Lord Gwydyr's, with many SITES of BUILDING
GROUND in this beauteous spot, on the BANK of the
RIVER CONWAY.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to SELL,
under the directions of Trustees, at the Eagles Inn,
Llanrwst, on WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY, the 26th and 27th of
June, punctually at Eleven for Twelve each day,
A SINGULARLY IMPORTANT FREEHOLD ESTATE,
adapted especially both for occupation or safe investment; it is
situate immediately adjacent to
THE MARKET TOWN OF LLANRWST.
AND IS CALLED THE BERTHDDU ESTATE,
comprehending TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED ACRES,
including some
OF THE BEST LAND THROUGHOUT NORTH WALES,
distributed in pasture and arable land, with very fertile water mea-
dows, and suitable farm houses ; possessing the unusual advantage
that all of them, as well as the agricultural buildings are in the
best possible state, with an excellent tenantry,
" ALL GOOD MEN ANT) TRUE."
To be appended to these advantages is
THE EAGLES INN, AND A LARGE
PORTION OF THE TOWN OF LLANRWST,
which is a most improving property. This romantic town is on
THE BANK OF THE RIVER CONWAY,
and in the centre of the most beautiful scenery for which North
Wales is so justly extolled.
THE FAMED WATERFALL OF RHIADER Y WENNOL,
the great feature of the country, is close by. There are many valu-
able sites, admirably adapted to build upon, around this picturesque
town, which, by the way, is close to the splendid
SEAT OF LORD WILLOUGHBY D'ERESBY.
It is not intended to illustrate this round unvarnished tale with
any fanciful report; it will be enough to state that it is on the verge
of the beautiful and
" PEACEFUL VALE OF LLANRWST,"
in the counties of Denbigh and Carnarvon ; that it is close to the
market town of Llanwrst, the Holyhead and London mail pass.
ing dailg through the property, and the new railroad from London
to Holyhead within an hour's drive. The importance which
such an event will communicate it is difficult to estimate too
highly. This railway is immediately to be commened,
UNDER THE COUNTENANCE OF GOVERNMENT,
and will bring the Property now for sale within a three hours'
drive of Liverpool, and eight of London.
THE SUPERIORIIY OF
THE SALMON AND TROUT FISHING,
and the abundance of game and field sports, are all valuable
auxiliaries, and as regards
THE BEAUTEOUS SCENERY
OF FAMED NORTH WALES,
t may suffice to state that it does not yield to any throughout the

county.

N. 13. There are most valuable and thriving plantations upon
the estate, which presents altogether one of the most eligible for
its sizs throughout this favourite and genial climate.

A PATENT FOR ENGLAND AND IRELAND.
THE HORSEMAN'S DESIDERATUM, in the shape of a
SADDI.E, meriting well the admiration and attention of all such
as move with the march of improvement.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed by Mr.
BENCRAF r, the ingenious and highly-gifted Patentee,
to OFFER FOR SALE, without reserve, at the Auction Mart, on
THURSDAY, July 4, at Twelve,
An INVALUABLE INVENTION, and one that, so soon as
it becomes generally known, presents a certain fortune. It is so
mixed up with comfort and safety, that every man devoted to
horse exercise will feel that he owes a debt of gratitude to the In-
ventor, so great as to be almost beyond praise. It is called
BENCR AFT'S PATENT SADDLE.

Its properties and advantages are so apparent, yet so numerous,
that a very few will be noticed here, referring the anxious inquirer
toithe particulars of sale, which arc voluminous, and yield every
possible information the most sceptical can desire. A complete
protection is secured to the spine by means of arched springs, which
transfer the rider's weight to the ribs of the horse, the seat of his
greatest power, enabling the horse to carry his burden with greater
facility and increased speed. A single examination of the horse's
back after hard riding wil confirm these useful facts. The rough
paces of some horses is effectually prevented or neutralised by the
intermediate action of the springs
The adapfation of the springs will not in the least degree inter-
fere with the shape or seat of the saddle. Mr. Tilbury, of the New-
road, will show the saddle, and explain the principle, adding to this
short statement one hundred important facts by way of illustration,
and so convincing that he must be a hold man who will gainsay
one of its advantages. Many of the nobility, especially those con-
nected with the turf, may be refetred to, whose testimonials will
very far exceed the moderated statement in this announcement.
Particulars will be ready twenty-one days prior to the sale, fully
describing its principal advantages, and introducing such pleasing
facts as will or ought to incline those who desire to get rich at a
railway pace to endeavour to possess it. Particulars at Mr. Til-
bury's; the Auction Mart; and in Covent-garden.
The following extract we quote from the " Sporting Review" for
April ; it illustrates what Mr. Robins has so feebly represented of
the usefulness and value of the horseman's desideratum :
" Has anybody got a great raw-boned horse, that he never
mounts without a dread of loosening his teeth, or an inward
consciousness that the moment he puts him into a trot, the labour
of the last half-hour spent on his toilet will be completely nulli-
fied? is there any man with such a horse d

.. Has anybody got a fiery, long.str.ding, raking, little devil of
a pony, that it's quite a pleasure to see rattling
lute torture to be upon ? If any unfortiniate man has such a
blessing, and has already worn nut his patience in endeavouring to
cope with it, let him start with all speed fur our office, and we will

not only show him a saddle, but give him all the necessary infor.
mation as to where he may procure one like it; and if he don't
like it—pony and saddle—the first time he tries 'em together, he
must be a fellow that there is no pleasing."
" Nimrod, in his celel rated 'k Q. R." Turf article, says, " Go to
Newmarket for a seat;" but we sa:, "Go to Mr. Bencraft for a
seat and a saddle too—a saddle that you can't help feeling at home
in—a saddle built on no selfish one-sided principle, but that bene-
fits your horse equally with yourself—nay, a saddle that has power,
sufficient of itself to carry you cleverly over a four. foot wall, whin
all the jump is taken out of Veteran, and all the jumping powder
worked out of his master.
" But a truce to joking, in which strain we fear that we have
already gone too far. A trial is all Mr. Bencraft desires; and,
from experience, he has good reason for thinking that the first will.
not be the only saddle of his pattern introduced in an establishment.
Of us, however, he needs but little assistance, while he possessesf
