IMPORTANT SALE at LLANRWST;
IN NORTH WALES, AND THE EXTRAOR-

DLNARY RESULT.

Our quiet little happy town has put on additional
anirnatio,l during the past week ; indeed tradition does
not refer us to anything approaching it. Now
a; folks fAe And near are interested in the rise and fall of
land, we suspect the accompanying short statement will
be acceptable to our readers :—Oh, such a scene of delight
and bustle Llanrwst has never before encountered. For
several weeks it was announced throughout our princi-
pality, that a portion of Mr. Mostyn's extensive estase.
in this vicinity were to undergo the uncertain fate of the
hammer, and it was also made known that Mr. eorge-
Robins, from London, was deputed to wield his magic
hammer on this important occasion. These circum-
stances combined, could not fail to induce a great sensa-
tion, although it certainly had not beon expected that
public curiosity had arrived at such a pitch, for the sale
was, until a very few days antecedent, announced to take
place at our favourite inn, kept by mine host of the Eagle,
(Thomas Jones) until public expectation proclaimed the
impossibility of the largest room holding a tithe part of the
expected audience. Then it was resolved to gain
peonission from the proper authorities to have the use
of our Town-hall. This granted, the next thing was to fit
it up irf A style worthy of the renowned advocate who
was apponted to officiate. All this:was quickly accom-
plished, and in a manner not to be exceeded in the
great metropolis. Around all ale arches were suspended
wreaths of oak and laurel ; in short, it was not inferior
to the manner in which I have seen Willis's Rooms fitted
up for a concert in London. Well, the day arrived, or,
rather, the never-to-be-forgotten days, the 26th and 27th
days of June. The hour appointed to draw up the
curtain was twelve, and long before this time arrived
the Town-hall was crammed, and in this anxious crowd
were lots of ladies who had travelled far and near to
hear arid see this Lion of the South. Punctually as the
clock struck, Mr. Robins left his inn, accompanied by
the Messrs. Williams, the celebrated solicitors, who are
the professional advisers of Lord Mostyn and his bro-
ther. Mr. R. lost no time in making his appeal to an
overflowing auditory, and was exceedingly happy in his
complimentary allusion to the numerous ladies svlio
adorned the hall. He told them that an exordium,
which they all seemed to expect, was, in his
opinion, " a practice more honoured in the breach
than the observance," since their time would be so
much more effectually employed in proceeding directly
to actual business ; however they should not be altogether
disappointed, and he very soon won their hearts by ad-
dressing them in a merry mood, and immediately after-
wards their golden opinions by producing a competition
and an excitement that quite astonished the natives.
The leading auctioneers of our parts seemed more on
the qui vice than any one else. The biddings com-
menced quickly, and they proceeded in such an earnest
and spirited manner that Mr. George Robins
very frequently took the opportunity to compliment
his congregation, by saying that throughout all
his travels over a period exceeding 40 years, he had
never been honoured by a more spirited or liberal audi-
tory. In this large sale was included a portion of the
town of Llanrwst ; and the lands extended for two or
three miles off, with a turnpike road on one side, and
the river Conway for its boundary. Nothing could be
more eligible than such a property. The situation Mr.
Robins described in his usual happy way ; and he only
stated what is very true, when he assured them that
throughout North Wales nothing can exceed the splen-
did scenery which extends for miles around, and in-
cludes the peaceful vale wherein our town is placed.
The famed water-fall ofßhiader-y-Wennol, so highly and
so properly eulogised by the tourists, approximates upon
the property and Lord Willoughby D'Eresby's beautiful
villa is close by. His wcods are a vast acquisition, inasmuch
as without creating any expense, they furnish a
landscape for Mr. Mostyn, that is not to be ex-
ceeded throughout England. The living here is
very cheap, and Mr. Robins did not omit it
in his eulogy, nor did he forget to remind them
of Three per Cents. at par, and money in London pro.
ducing at the outside one-and-a-half per cent , nor did he
urge these facts in vain, as will presently be
seen by the extraordinary results. The estate was
estimated (including many of the houses in the town) at
1,7001. a year, and the sale exceeded 70,000 guineas, being
an_average.exe2.eding.42 years' purchase.

Mr. Robins alluded to Sir Robert Peel's renowned
observations on the corn-laws, at the opening of Par-
liament, and it had evidently considerable effect,
inasmuch as the little doubt that had previously
been entertained of Sir Robert's sincerity to adhere
to his own law was triumphantly demonstrated last week
by the sad figure Mr. Villiers' motion cut in the House of
Commons. It may now, in truth, be said to be buried iu
the Tomb of all the Capulets, and his yearly farce no
longer worth a trial; in short, put upon the shelf, sine die.
The good folks of this town look forward with no small
anxiety for the re-appearance of Mr. Robins amongst them.
It is whispered he will sell in lots during the month of
September next an estate within 30 miles of Llanrwst,
the value exceeding 150,000/. I took down the prices
that each lot produced—it may amuse you to wade

THE NEW HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OF THE CHEST
AND CONSUMPTION.—The first wing of this truly noble
institution, of which his Royal Highness Prince Albert
laid the foundation stone on the 11th ultimo, is now ra-
pidly in progress. The building is so planned, as by
successive additions to accommodate from one hundred
to two hundred and fifty persons of both sexes. The
interior arrangements having, after very mature delibe-
ration, been adopted by the medical officers, and approved
of by gentlemen of experience in such matters, it is ex-
pected that the new Hospital will offer facilities for
treating consumption which no other institution pos-
sesses. In the warming and ventilation, the heat or
temperature will be made to approximate to different
climates, and the atmosphere of particular apartments will
be impregnated with various gases and vapours. A very
beautiful chapel, designed by the same highly-gifted ar-
chitect, Frederick John Francis, Esq., will be attached
to the Hospital, and it is trusted that, by the means of
the promised patronage and support, the whole building
may be completed in the space of two or three years. It
will then stand among the proudest of our metropolitan
charities.

the metropolis, but got no relief. She is now, however,
by the use of these wonderful Pills, restored to as high a
state of health as she ever enjoyed. These Pills should

STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Tuesday last the
workmen employed in erecting a new gallery in Harbo-
rough church, on making an opening in the massive
stone wall on the south side of the nave, to support the
beam of the gallery, discovered in the very centre of the
wall a pigeon's egg, quite entire. How it could have got
there is a matter not easily to be accounted for ; and, as
that portion of the fabric does not appear to have been
disturbed since its erection many centuries ago, hapbably was deposited there at that period, and ,by
being thus carefully excluded from the atmosphere, been
preserved uninjured through so many generations.—

Our sporting readers will be g
lad to learn that Al 4.
Baily has engaged Mr. J. F. Herring, sen., to paint a
portrait of Orlando, the winner of the Derby Stakes,
1844, the subject of the important case in the Court ct
Exchequer, which was yesterday brought to a conclu-
sion. `Ye have no doubt, from the happy manner in
which that gentleman has brought out the portraits ot
several winning horses, that Orlando will sustain the
character of both Mr. Herring and Mr. Bally.
