ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning, Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION at ONE CHARGE.

THE THORNHILL PARK ESTATE, within a short drive of
Southampton, with a PARK and DEMESNE EXTENDING
to 220 ACRES.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is favoured by the
instructions of the Trustees of the late
JAMES BARLOW BOY. Esq.,
to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, on the PREMISES,
in the course of the ensuing Month, (when
THE ELEGANT PROPERTY THROUGHOUT THE
MANSION
is to be sold by public competition,)
ONE OF THE MOST ELIGIBLE ESTATES IN
THE BEAUTEOUS ENVIRONS OF SOUTHAMPTON.
The abode is distinguished from all its contemporaries in publics
estimation, and claims to be one
OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES IN
HER MAJESTY'S DOMINIONS.
It 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 be of
SOUND POLITICAL CREED,
"HE WILL WALK OVER THE COURSE WHENEVER
THE NEXT ELECTION ARRIVES."
The MANSION is the commanding feature of the vicinity.
The late lamented proprietor, in its completion, spared no expense,
and unequivocal taste is marked throughout, and it will soon be
perceived that luxury and splendour are mixed up with a degree
of tact, rarely, if ever, approached. The architectural form is very
chaste; the front adorned by six lofty pillars, with a paved gallery,
leads to the terrace walk, the shrubberies and the plantations.
The entree is by a covered approach. Within the Mansion its ad-
vantages and capability may be summed up in one short sentence—
" NOTHING WHATEVER IS LEFT TO BE DESIRED
OR IMAGINED."
An East Indian seeking for an appropriate residence in which to
prolong his days in the enjoyment of his vast acquisitions, with in.
creasing health, yet with oriental magnificence; or to a member of
"THE ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON," who seeks to unite
propinquity to the rendezvous and the comforts of a luxurious
home, a residence is here offered combining advantages rarely to be
equalled, and certainly nowhere to be surpassed.
THE PARK AND THE DOMAIN EXTENDS TO
220 ACRES.
Portions of the estate may be let off on building leases, at rents
producing Is. 6d. and 2s. per foot frontage, and it must be ob-
served it is quite away from the possibility of interfering with the
mansion or its extensive scenery. About 45 acres of the most
luxuriant fir and larch plantations, and an equal quantity of valu-
able land, forming a small farm, are still available for this im-
portant purpose; and there are 32 acres comprising 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. An experienced landscape gardener of ac-
knowledged taste represents this to be the most beautiful situation
in the southern part of Hampshire. If is intended to be a positive
sale, to which capitalists are invited to become competitors.
The estate can be seen only by tickets, to be had of Messrs. H.
and R. E. Sewell, solicitors, Newport; of Mr. Peaty, auctioneer,
Southampton; of Mr. Robins, at his offices, Covent-garden; at
the Auction Mart; and at the Dolphin, Southampton.
