YEW TREE HOUSE, WHELPLEY HILL,

surrounded by good roads, within twenty eight miles of London,
and an easy distance of the best markets. Chesham Is three
miles off, and Hensel Hempstead within Ave, so that the produce
ends a ready vent at a trifling expense. The land is of a quality
that may always be depended on under a healthy course of cultiva-
tion, and the abundant crops this year, after being subject to a
severe discipline for the last four, or Ave years, arising out of a sad
forgetfulness of manure, still the land exhibits four or five quarters of
capital wheat and barley, and the crops of clover are most abundant.
The farm.house, as well as the buildings, are of ancient date, and,
in candonr, it must be proclaimed, will be greatly benefited by a
judicious outlay of three or four hundred pounds.
THE WORTHY TENANT, BASSILL,

who, with his family, have sojourned here near half a century, will
be but too happy to have a lease, and continue the tenancy; but his
present rent is a very inadequate one. The estate numbers near
THItEE HUNDRED ACRES,
and with the exception of less than two, is entirely within, a ring
fence. There are about 50 acres in thriving woods and planta.
Cons; it will be in accordance with good judgment to have them
by degrees grubbed up, and good crops of corn become their
substitute—a farmer does not need the luxury of wood.
land scenery, to interfere with his more important avo.
cations. The outgoings are not high, and the tithe has
been commuted at less than 4s. per acre—such is a faint outline
of the property which is committed for positive sale, and offers
an exceedingly eligible arid secure investment for .oreralltiPitalias.

VALUABLE AND EXTENSIVE SLATE QUARRIES IN

MERIONETHSHIRE, NORTH WALES.
A CAPITAL AND PEREECTLY SECURE INVESTMENT. •,
TO be DISPOSED OF, the EXTENSIVE t
SLATE QUARRIES, upon which a conaiderable capital
has been expended in arriving at the present favourable state.
This Property has capability to carry it out to an extent almost
indefinite. The royalty is very low, and the terms of the lease
are unusually favourable. It will afford to a company or a few,
capitalists an opportunity of investing
FIFTY THOUSAND POUNDS,
with a prospective view most encouraging, and the opportunity to
purchase the fee-simple on very advantageous terms, is amongst
the most prominent of its numberless advantages.
This quarry (in Merionet hshire, close to Carnarvonshire) is identi-
cally the same vein of slate as the three large quarries on Mrs.
Oakeley's property, which are the most extensive slate quarries now
worked in Merionethshire. It is situated upon the opposite side
of the same hill, the summit of which is the boundary between
the Cwmorthin and Oakeley properties ; and the vein. which in the
latter estate is divided into three extensive quarries, has an extent
on the Cwmorthin side equal to all three together, and capable of
being made the largest quarry in Merionethshire; and, after
Bangor and Llanberris, the largest Slate Quarry in Wales. A
disagreement in the partnership, arising out of a difference of
opinion as to the best mode of working the quarry, was terminated
by the common consent of all the parties, and this is the sole
reason why this valuable, property is pow to be disposed of. The
present tenants hold under a linty years' lease, dated 20th March,
1842, which in all its conditimis is more favourable to the capitalist
undertaking to work thequarry, than those of any of their corn-
petitprs in the market. But the, fee-simple can be bought upon
terms which would enable the purchaser to secure large profits,
where the quarries paying heal j royalties merely enrich the land-
lords; independently of being able to work the quarries wholly
without interference, and to such extent, and in such manner, as
to obtain the greatest possible profit from a property which,
properly managed, increases in value the longer it is worked,
since more Slate is continually opened, and which will not be ex-
hausted in many generations. The present openings are so made
as to be capable of indefinite extension—a small outlay would
bring an immediate return of Slate, which might he increased at
the discretion of the proprietor. The metal is of the purest Port-
madec blue Slate, easily worked, durable, and free• from spot, stain,
or blemish. Though the vein is barely opened in the top (as sbewn
in the plan), above eight hundred tons of Slates have already been
made, of a quality in every way satisfactory, and it continues to
"improve, the deeper the rock is gone into. An extensive farm,
with about two hundred acres of land, available for various pur-
poses, is included in the property—it will be of great value to the
party working the quarry. A fall of water gives all the power
needed for machinery to saw and plane slate; the use of which
in articles of furniture and in house building is rapidly and daily ex-
tending. There is cheap and easy carriage by the Ffestiniog
Railway to Portmadoe. And when the increasing demand at home
and on the continent for Portmadoc blue Slate, the extensive pro.
gress of buildings throughout the kingdom, and the peculiar ad-
vantages ofibred by the Cwmorthin Quarry are considered, it will
be found that a more favourable opportunity is seldom met with
for the investment of capital, with large immediate profit, and con-
, tinned accumulation of the value of the principal in perspective.
There are many admirable sites in the vicinity for, the erection of
an abode suited to the proprietor of these works. The situation
is well known to be ow; of the most beautiful in North Wales, with
capital sporting and the best salmon and trout fishing in the
country.
Principals only will make application at Mr. George Robins's
Offices, Covent-garden, who tikes this opportunity to call the atten.
tion of the moneyed world to this valuable undertaking.

GEORGE ROBINS,
A VERY PROMISING INVESTMENT AND SLATE

QUARRY,
