SOUTH A MPTON.

This distinguished abode, which has always held a high place in
public estimation, may now, by its close approximation to
THE CHOSEN SEAT OF ROYALTY,
claim to be one of the

MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES IN HER MAJESTY'S

DONIINIONS.
TIIE THORNHILL PARK ESTATE

was the favourite abode of

JAMES BARLOW HOY, ESQ,,

who for a lengthened period was
THE MP. 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 commanding feature of the property,
and may claim to be one of the great lions in this delightful
vicinity, for the late lamented Proprietor 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 size 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 MACH f 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'neighhourhood.
THE DOMAIN EX. TEND TO 550 ACRES,
including the Ti ornhid 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.
The short 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 o❑ 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 fir and larch plan.
tations, and an equal quantity of valuable land, forming a small
farm, are still available for this important purpose; and the recent
erection of

Capital .£500,000.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.

The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the fhll benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of prsflts, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging iffy-five per cent, on the
amount already invested; an 4 this bonus, according to an equitable
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of inture
premiums
