THE NORMAN GOTHIC CHURCH.

is the best proof of the increasing population of the neighbourhood.
At a short distance is Midenburg, presenting another roost 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 bee❑ 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 ♦iew 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 Messrs. H. and R. B Sewell, solicitors, New.
port; of Mr. Peaty, auctioLetr, Southampton ; and of Mr. Robins,
at his Offices, Covent-garden. Printed particulars, which will
contain a drawing of the mansim and grounds, and a plan of the
estate (price (id.), may be obtained as above ; of Messrs. Fosters and
and Evans, 2S, John-street, Bedford-row ; at the Auction Mart ;

IN SUFFOLK, a FREEHOLD ESTATE of CONSIDERABLE
IMPORTANCE and VALUE, EXCEEDING ONE THOU-
SAND ACRES of EXCELLENT LAND in the HIGHEST
POSSIBLE STATE of CULTIVATION, with ALTON HALL,
a GENTLEMANLY ABODE, PLACED in a MOST RO-
MANTIC SITUATION, EXTENSIVE GARDENS, LAWN,
and PLEASURE.GROUNDS, ALTOGETHER ONE of the
BEST ESTATES for SPORTING THROUGHOUT ENG-
LAND, WITHIN FOUR SHORT HOURS DRIVE of LON.

Mit. GEORGE ROBINS is favoured by the
Instructions of the Executors of WILLIAM DEANE, Esq. ,

a very important Freehold Property.
THE ALTON HALL ESTATE AND DEMESNE,
very advantageously situate 6 miles from Ipswich, 14 from Col-
chester Terminus, and only separated frem
THE PORT OF HARWICH
by the ornamental river Stour. By the way, it is well to notice an
on dit very prevalent in Suffolk
THAT ONE OF THE SEATS
FOR THIS TOWN
is in reserve for the next Proprietor of Alton Hall.
In describing this estate, it is not easy to know where to begin;
it is so fruitful in its advantages that a little judgment is required
to make them all manifest in such a confined space. First and
foremost requiring our consideration,
is "the gentlemanly abode ;"
it is of a character to render it suitable to a gentleman who would
prefer comfort to outward splendour; but it is not without the
capability to put on another character, and to soar very high, with-
out encountering a serious outlay ; and the situation is so beauteous
that no one would hesitate in its adoption. It is on an elevated
position, approached by an
AVENUE OF VENERABLE OAKS;
the grounds are delightfully irregular, with hill and dale and
dells and precipices, without termination, varied by the meander-
ing of a streamlet, and the waters may be rendered quite orna-
mental at a trifling Cost ; wiih
THE WOODLAND SCENERY WHICH IS QUITE
BEAUTIFUL
in every direction—a little army of thorns, contrasted with an
infinity of ever-green oaks, are seen contending for the ascendancy.
The plantations which screen the abode are very extensive and
luxuriant beyond measure. The gardens are fully competent to be
independent of the expense of Covent-garden market, with
THE CONSERVATORY, HOT-HOUSE,
cucumber and melon beds ; and a pretty Dutch garden must not
be overlooked in this concise but imperfect detail. Next in suc-
cession it will be essential to point out the nature and extent of
this ellible investment. First, there is a very comfortable
WATER CORN-MILL
entirely shut out of view, with a cozy habitation,and 90 acres of
capital land, with the jolly Miller,
Ralston, a very superior tenant,
who contributes his low rent (1101. a_year) to " the ways and
means." The supply of water is never exhausted.
THE ENTIRE DOMAIN EXCEEDS
ONE THOUSAND AND TWENTY ACRES OF
superior Lind, and it will be confirmed that it is in thriving condi-
tion when the reader is teld that Mr. Deanes and his worthy fa-
mily have located upon it over a period extending to nearly a cen.
tury. Around the house, and to form the first lot, is 520 ACRES,
entirely within a ring fence, adapted to wheat and barley, with
p entv of good turnip land, and a superior residence for a bailiff,
and all the cor.comitants in the shape of farm buildings, extending
nearly to the
LITTLE RURAL VILLAGE OF STUTTON,
with coach-houses and good stabling, with every essential outdoor
office. Next in succession is
ARIVA R TON AND HA RKSTEA D,
TWO FARMS ACCOUNTED QUITE EQUAL
TO ANY THROUGHOUT TIIE WHOLE COUNTRY;
and this observation is made advisedly, inasmuch as they have
always been
DENOMINATED PLEASURE FARMS,
to which term they have pleaded guilty, rattier than be only a
source of profit Arivarton Farm has a residence upon it, that
would be very captivating in the eye of a sporting gentleman,
