IT WILL NOT' BE QUITE SACRILEGE

to designate it
A VERY HUMBLE RIVAL TO STRAWBE:RRY HILL.
There is se muelkto commend throughout that it will be difficult to
avoid injustice in Shortening the representation which custom his
awarded to such -tumouticements. It swill probably be enough to
enlist the attention of the scientific world to state that-those who
walte ENRAPTURED' at Strawberry bill may, without drawing
largely on their kindly feeling, be DELIGHTED at this renowned
receptacle of so many and such varied treasures. •
THE ANCIENT MANSION •
ON THE SUMMIT OF RICEIMOND HILL

(to which the Countess, some ten yeari since, added the two
wings, and encountered an outlay otten thousand pounds) is, despite
of this (In candour it must be proclaimed), in need of a searching
repair; this, with the aid of a decorator gifted with a brain farm,
will then surpass its_ original character and it will not be doubted
that the splendid scenery in front (which it is fearlesly
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,

A considerable number of the pictures recorded by the engravings

who are at all conversant in the soil of the land will know how to
appreciate these important facts.
The whole is occupied by a tenantry of long standing as tonants.at-
will ; it will, however, be exceedingly desirable to make in this
respect very considerable alterations. The Farms are used in
their ancient state, and are infinitely too small. Sound judg-
ment will direct That they be divided into five or six, instead
of the present numbcr • 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 that the Houses and Out-Buildings
throughout the Property arc greatly in need of repair ; Indeed, the
suggestion be would venture to make is, to rase them to the 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 outay whatever, and this is the largest farm.
THE PROPERTY NUMBERS

besides the unpretending, but really comfortable little public-house,
known as " the Monson Arms," whete 1. mine host" Eno knows
and practises what belongs to 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 yehrs 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 toproelaim
a very welcome fact, that lvtion the nutlay already noticed is aecoml
plished, the property will -very readily produce, with an unexcep•
tionable tenantry, from £2,700 to
TWO THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR,
The division ,of the snit is very encouraging ; .there are.s2l acres of
capital Grazing Land, 230 acres of excellent Meadow Land, and 453
acres of soil congenial to Wheat and Oats ; the fonner yielding five
and six quarters and the latter from seven to ten quarters per acre.
Now this representation of the Estate cannot be charged with colour.

such as were last year sceptical in respect to. the corn.laws, that the
agricultural horizon is no longer clouded bv doubt or uncertainty—
the manly; judicious, and unequivocal decltation of
