and museum, and dining-room. The external architectural form is
very chaste ; the front adorned by six lofty pillars, with a paved

features of this admired vicinity. It includes a mansion full of
convenience, one that may be assimilated with those which the
merchants of the olden school used to repose in, one where com-
fort and substantiality have been preferred to minor considerations.
It is a

VERY IMPOSING STRUCTURE,
with accommodation throughout that one fastidiously disposed
would not object to, to say nothing of hot and cold baths. It is
on an elevated position, with

and the park and demesne of the late

a melon ground, and in the court yard double coach-house, seven-
stall stable, and every possiblo convenience; indeed, within the
abode, and throughout the offices, everything connected with com-
fort will be found conspicuous, and it is well supplied with water.
In the park there is a variety of hill and dale to vary and improve
the scenery, which is perfectly beautiful, and to those who would
increase their ways and means it will occur that
AN IMMENSE FRONTAGE, PARALLEL WITH
THE RURAL COMMON,
may be separated from the mansion, and not intermeddle with its
comfort, inasmuch as the full-grown timber is a very secure guard
against the operations of a building operation.

THIS SPLENDID MANSION

displays considerable taste, The architectural skill cannot be tco
highly panegyrised—there is a bold commandinfappearance—such
an imposing front as to leave others at a fearful distance. The
entree to this delightful habitation is by a Lodge of clever design,
and a circuitous route through the pleasure.grounds and planta-
tions, encountering the novel scene of
SEVERAL RURAL BRIDGES,

across the fresh meandering stream, which pursues its irregular
course, and materially aids this magnificent spectacle. The back
front, which extends to 160 feet, is supported by
NOBLE CORINTHIAN COLUMNS.
THE GRAND SUITE OF CHAMBERS

which is here produced is really quite electrical ; nothing in nature

The hand of an artiste of superior pretensions is ♦isible every.

THIRTY.SEVEN ACRES OF PARK-LIKE GROUND,
disposed in unequivocal taste, with flowering shrubs and expen-

had if the possessor should require it. The kitchen-garden, with
lofty walls, is fully commensurate for all the legitimate wants of a
family. The Court-yard incloses an infinity of offices of the best
description; detached Laundry, Etc. The situation is quite

A SECURE INVESTMENT,

At Otten Be!champ there are as good wheat, barley, and turnip
lands as will be found in any county; the young wheat is looking
remarkably healthy, and gives fair promise of abundant crops ; and
the red wheat, oats, barley, and beans of last year's harvest, are
quite equal in body, soundness, and quality to the best samples
shown at Mark.lane.

LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1841.

Jn the House of Lords, the Marquis of Non-
ILA:var said he would postpone his motion relative to
the 'Neal of Lord ELLENBOROUGH till Tuesday, al
the Duke of A XLLINGTON had stated that the Earl of
RIPON could not attend till that day.
The LORD CHANCELLOR moved that the House
should go into Committee on the Dissenters' Chapels
Bill. He pointed out the vast expenses which hail
been incurred in suits which might have been avoided,
and for which this Bill would provide a remedy.
The Bishop of LONDON moved that the Bill be fend
that day six months; and the Bishop of EXETER op-

posed it, to use his own words, most strongly.
Lord BROUGHAM gave the Bill his entire support,
be 'cause he felt the necessity of putting an end to
-vex:Vous litigation, and fulfilling the original inten-
tion, ,V the donors.
Lor'ci COTTENIIAM and Lord CAMPBELL also sup-
ported tit‘' and the amendment was negatived
without a., division. The Bill then pas3ed through
Committee, 4vas ordered to be read a third time on
Monday, and the House adjourned.
In the House or Cornnaons, after the presentation
of petitions, Mr. HEAL, gave notice that, on Thum-,
day, he should move for a copy of all the corre-
spondence between the East India Company and the
Government relative to the ret.:,,tl of Lord ELLEN-
BOROUGH. Th'.s motion probably will give rise to
some interesting speeches and disclosures:.

Sir CHARLES NAPIER gave notice that 'Thurs-
day, the 16th of May, he should bring the Navy List
under she consideration of the House.
In answer to a question from Mr. P. BA ,RING, re-
lative to the Bank Charter, the CHANCELL on of the
EXCHEQUER said he believed Sir ROBERT "'EEL did
not intend to call upon the House to egret s to any
resolutions on the subject when he brought i Iforward
..on Monday, if there should be any objecti6 1:w to his
propositions. •
On the Order of the Day being read for t be Home
going into Committee on the Factories i3ill, Mr.
Rognucx moved a resolution to the effect t-1 , let no in-
terfereuce with the power of adult labour ls in fox-
;,.tories to make contracts with respect to th a tours fur
which they shall be employed, be sanctio aed by the
Louse. He then contrasted, at some lengt it, the con-
dition of the peasant and the labourer ii ) factories,
expressed his firm conviction that th s condition
a the lat,* was infinitely better than t hat of the
former.

Sir JAMES GRAHAM opposed the resol cation, and
Mr. LABOUC RA
Nag supported it, but we I find no-
thing in their speeches that requires even a summary.

ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS BILL.

On the motion of Dr. NICHOLL for going into Commit-
Lee on this Bill,

Mr. P. BORTHWICK objected to tho motion, on account
of the lateness of the hour.

After a short conversation strangers were ordered to with-
draw, but no division took place.
The Bill then went through Committee pro forma.
POOR LAWS (IRELAND.
Sir DEN HAM,NORREYS moved for the appointment of
a Committee on Poor-laws (Ireland), to consist of Sir
Denham Norreys, Lord Eliot, Mr. Moro O'Ferrall, Mr.
Young, Mr. French, Viscount Bernard, Mr. John O'Connell,
Lord Claud Hamilton, Mr. Tuite, Mr. Shaw, Lord Courtenay,
Mr. Vesey, Sir Edmund Hayes, Sir Arthur Brooke, and Mr.
E. P. Shirley.
Mr. SHAW was decidedly averse to the appointment of the
Committee as tending to unsettle men's minds in Ireland on the
question of poor-laws.
Lord JOCELYN opposed the appointment of the Comb
mittee for the same reasons.
After a few words from Sir DENHAM NORREYS the
motion was withdrawn by consent, with an understood inten-
tion of being renewed on Monday.
Sir GEORGE CLERK obtained leave to bring in a Bill
to regulate and secure the debt due by the City of Edinburgh
to the public; to confirm an agreement between the said city
and its creditors ; and to effect a settlement of the affairs of the
said city and the town of Leith.
The House then, at a few minutes after One o'clock, ad-
journed until Monday.

SIR A. HENNIKER'S CHARGE.

111 r. T. DUNCOMBE rose to call the attention of the
House to a letter which he had received on the subject
of a quotation which he had made from a charge of Sir
A. Henniker to the grand jury of Suffolk. From the
noise in the House, which continued during the whole
time the Honourable Member was speaking, we had
great difficulty in collecting even the purport of his
observations. We understood him to say that in the
debate on the Masters and Servants Bill he had quoted
from a charge of Sir A. Henniker to the grand jury of
Suffolk, in which that gentleman stated his belief that
unless the landlords did something to alleviate the con-
dition of the labouring classes incendiarism, would con-
tinue to increase, and not the whole of the metropolitan
police force could keep the country quiet. That
was the purport of his remarks ; and he
begged to say that he had not intentionally
misrepresented Sir Augustus Henniker. In a letter
which he had received on this subject, it was stated
that Sir Augustus had said that he could not close his
eyes to the wide-spread spirit of discontent. (The Hon.
Member here read the letter alluded to, and it appeared,
as far as we could gather, that the version of Sir Au-
gustus' speech given in the letter did not differ mate-
rially from that which the Hon. Member had previously
given.) He (Mr. T. Duncombe) begged to express his
regret if he had misrepresented the purport of the
charge, but it appeared to him that the only
injustice of which he had been guilty was in
not having expressed himself sufficiently strong.

Empowered by Act of Parliament.

The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-

ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on abort policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder daring life, as well
as to affeet the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of pre its, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the .".,ociety's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-
re ;tors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy

amount already invested ; anA this bonus, according to an equitable
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future

is the best proof of the increasing population of the neighbourhood.
At a short distance is Midenburg, presenting another most important
field for a building speculation. The Thir.y-two Acres comprise
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. This site has been pronounced by an ex-
perienced landscape gardener of acknowledged taste to be the most
beautiful situation in the southern part of Hampshire. In short,
the property, whether taken as a whole or in the detached portions,
as intended to be offered for Sale, is in every point of view in.
fluential beyond any contemporary ; and Mr. Robins confidently
invites the attention of noblemen and capitalists to so important an
opportunity as is here presented to them.
The estate can be seen only by tickets, one month antecedent to
the sal:, to be had of 111e,,srs. H. and R. B. Sewell, solicitors, New-

This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most
perfect security in a large paid-up Capital, and in the great success
which has attended it since its commencement in 1834, its ANNUAL
INCOME, being UPWARDS of 60,0001.
In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of
one-half of their Stock, and also added a Bonus of 21. per cent. per
annum, on the Sum Insured to all Policies of the Participating Class
from the time they were effected.
The Bonus added to Policies from March, 1634, to December 31,
1840, is as follows :
Sum Time Sum added Sum Time Sum added
Assured. Assured. to Policy. Assured. Assured, to Policy.
£5OOO 6 yrs. 10 Intl's. £683 6 8 £5OOO 4 years £4OO
5000 6 years 600 0 0 5000 2 years 200
The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most moderate scale, and
only one-half need be paid for the first Five Years, where the Insur-
ance is for Life.

Directors, Edward Boyd, Esq., and E. Lennox Boyd, Esq., of No. 8,

have left the union and gone to work.

THIS DISTINGUISHED PROPERTY,

is, that it soars very high for the quantity of fame. It is our.
rounded by

THE ARCHDEACON BERNERS,

who preserves his game very strictly; and Alton Hall necessarily
partakes considerably from the immensity of birds that resort to the
woods. The quantity killed annually would produce a large in-
come. A navigable river runs parallel with these two farms for a
mile and a half, and extends to the sea.
IT HAS A CAPITAL QUAY
and a Pier, and all the appurtenanees necessary to put on board
all the produce for the London market, gaining the highest prices
and shipped at a trifling expense. This alone increases the value
of the land ss. an acre, but the soil is so fertile that it grows
splendid Wheat and Barley, and the appearance of an immense
flock of Sheep proves its superiority as Turnip Land; but this is a
story only half told.
THE BULLOCKS FATTED ON THIS LAND •

remove all doubts of its quality. At this present writing are a
dozen ready for their projected journey to Smithfield, where they
must bear the palm, although they have got fat on the turnips
alone, never having been indulged, even by way of a bon bouche,
with the sight of oil cake or corn. This is incontrovertible proof,
as strong as Holy Writ, that the Rental will exceed
FORTY SHILLINGS PER ACRE.
THE TITHE IS WELL COMMUTED, AND ALL THE
OUTGOINGS EXCEEDINGLY MODERATE
It is quite refreshing, as the aye wanders over this large tract of
fine land, to sec how the fields absolutely groan with the quantity
of manure, and a little host of dunghills to replace the bygone
season, and it must be remembered that it is of the best sort that
London can produce. These Farms are about four miles from the
Hall, with a capital road to there. The estimated value of the
whole Estate, with the Mill, but independently of the Game, ap.
proaches TWO THOUSAND POUNDS A-YEAR ;
and now, by way of conclusion, let the holder of
THREE PER CENTS., ALREADY BEYOND PAR,
remember the memorable declaration of Sir Robert Peel, in thls
Session of Parliament,
" I neither have, nor do I contemplate any change whatever in
the Corn-laws."
And when he has digested this cheering fact, let him dispassionately
debate in his own mind upon the unequivocal superiority that laud
now presents as opposed to the very, very unhealthy price of the
Funds.
The neighbeurhood is highly respectable and prone to good fel-
lowship. There are three pews in the Churth, with a faculty for two
of them, and the late excellent proprietor was for half a century re-
quested to continue churchwarden. There arc four very good Cot.
tages for the labourers. Mr. Robins could easily lengthen this
moderated detail, but he is inclined to believe enough is promised
to incline the fundholder to transfer some of his uncertain stock
into " Terra Firma."

AT STREATHAM.

HILL HOUSE, with its little PARK and DELIGHTFUL
GROUNDS, placed in an almost irresistible position for a
RESIDENCE, as well as a BUILDING OPERATION,
altogether 14 Acres.
31.-R. GEORGE ROBINS has received instruc-
tionsJL to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the
Auction Mart, on THURSDAY, May 16, at Twelve, a very desir-
able FREEHOLD PROPERTY, one of the most commanding
features of this admired vicinity. It includes a mansion full of
convenience, one that may be assimilated with those which the
merchants of the olden school used to repose in, one where com-
fort and substantiality have been preferred to minor considerations.
It is a

VERY IMPOSING STRUCTURE,

on an elevated position, with

stall stable, and every possible convenience; indeed, within the
abo.l.e, and throughout the offices, everything connected with com-
fort will be found conspicuous, and it is well supplied with water.
In the park there is a variety of hill and dale to ♦ary and improve
the scenery, which is perfectly beautiful, and to those who would
increase their ways and means it will occur that
AN IMMENSE FRONTAGE, PARALLEL WITH

may be separated from the mansion, and not intermcddle with its
comfort, inasmuch as the full-grown timber is a very secure guard
against the operations of a building operation.
A LITTLE ARMY OF VILLAS WILL NOT BE SEEN,
and the increasing reputation of this lovely spot would leave no
doubt of the certainty of the speculation. The splendid abode of
Mr. Leafs, with others of importance, and the great opulence and
respectability throughout the vicinity, render this a most inviting
purchase for a nobleman, or a wealthy citizen, or a professional man
of high pretensions; it is altogether

THE MOST PERFECT ORDER FOR OCCUPATION.

This has been accomplished by a recent and very judicious outlay.
The distance from the metropolis is within the hour, by means of
steam bold. In

" THIS ELEGANT ABODE"
will be fund everything that may be understood by the compre-
hensive term of comfort—a merchant, or banker, or professional
man of high character, or a man of fortune may repose here
without the alloy of a single want ; ingenuity would be at a loss
to discover one, and its outward appearance is so commanding
that the new possessor will assuredly be envied the possession of
this property. To recur to the situation—it is altogether so beau-
teous, that it is difficult to do it justice without subjecting the
panegyric to be considered as having coloured the landscape too
highly. The views are diversified by an infinity of lovely scenery.
The river is a great feature, lending to the ensemble a very great
interest, and from its contiguity, it really seems to be an appendage
to the Estate.

THE PARK GROUNDS EXTEND TO
FORTY-ONE ACRES OF RICH PASTURE,
full of hill and dale, prettily timbered, and a rich shrubbery and
plantation, which runs parallel for a considerable distance. The
undulation in the Park Grounds is quite refreshing, and, indeed,
the thing altogether is so recherche, that-Mr. Robins cannot con-
clude this appeal so well as by inviting ocular demonstration.
Particulars and a card to view it may be obtained in Covent-
garden.

BANK CHARTER.

Mr. F. BARING wished to know what course it was
proposed to follow on Monday with reference to the
Bank Charter. He wished to know if the First Lord
of the Treasury intendA on Monday- merely to make
a statement of his proposition without calling for the
decision of the House, or if it was intended at once
to ask for the decision of the House on the propositions
which would be laid before it ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had not
had an opportunity of seeing the First Lord of the
Treasury since he had had notice of the Right Hon.
Gentleman's question; but he believed that it was his
Right Hon. Friend's intention not to call upon the
House to agree to any resolutions on Monday, if there
should be any objection to his propositions.

entirely shut out of view, with a cozy habitation, and 20 acres of

who contributes his low rent (110/. a.year) to " the ways and

THE ENTIRE DOMAIN EXCEEDS
ONE THOUSAND AND TWENTY ACRES OF

tion when the reader is told that Mr. Deanes and his worthy fa-
mily have located upon it over a period extending to nearly a cen.

entirely within a ring fence, adapted to wheat and barley, with
plenty of good turnip land, and a superior residence for a bailiff,
and all the concomitants in the shape of farm buildings, extending
nearly to the

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, Mari 3.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Baron GURNEY and a
Common Jury.)
The following undefended cases were disposed of at the
sitting of the Court this morning. In each cause verdicts for
the plaintiff were given. With one exception they were to
recover the amounts of certain bills of exchange :—Sane v.
Ashcroft, 1851. ss. 6d. ; Driver v. Sparks, 541. 19s. sd. ; Hill
v. Norrington, 30/. 9s. 10d. ; Turner v. Swaby, 183/. 19s. ;
Hall v. Ryall, 301. ss.
Baron GURNEY intimated to the bar that as there were a
number of actions for bills of exchange, he should give them
precedence of other causes which were on the paper for to-
morrow, and which were likely to oceupy some time. He
therefore requested that gentlemen of the bar engaged in such
causes, and their witnesses, would be iu attendance at an
early hour.
