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 ♦iews 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.
lluential 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 sale, to be had of Messrs. H. and R. B. Sewell, solicitors, New.
port; of Mr. Peaty, auctioLeer, Southampton ; and of Mr. Robins,

is in reserve for the next Proprietor of Alton Hall.
In describing this estate, it is not easy to know where to begin ;

this elgible investment. First, there is a very comfortable
