GREAT METROPOLIS, with EXTENSIVE LAWN.
PLEASURE GROUND, and PADDOCKS, extending to near
FIFTEEN ACRES, all in a RING FENCE, and in most per.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the pleasure to
announce thnt he is directed to offer to PUBLIC AUC-
TION, at the Mart, London, on THURSDAY NEXT, 21st July, at
Twelve o'Clock, in One Lot, an
ESTATE OF CONSIDERABLE IMPORTANCE,
nd one that may be assimilated to a FREEHOLD TENURE,
inasmuch as it is entirely
EXEMPT FROM ANY GROUND RENT,
save only for the accommodation meadows. It consists of
ONE OF. THE ADMIRED SUBURBAN VILLAS
ON CHAMPION HILL PRIVATE ROAD,

a remove of three short miles from the Royal Exchange, sur-
rounded by a little host of Bankers and rich Merchants, who have
in clusters selected this spot as the most delightful, and, at the
same time, convenient in respect to their (WI) labours. It is no
longer a matter of doubt that it stands conspicuous for its superio.
rity to any other easy remove from London. Society can be se.
cured to any extent, or avoided without difficulty. It may be ob-
served the outward form of
THIS ELEGANT ITALIAN VILLA

AT THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
A MOST EXTENSIVE AND IMPORTANT SHEEP FARM,
UNQUESTIONABLY THE FINEST ESTATE IN THE

MARKET,

KNOWN AS SLABBERT'S POORT, AND CONTAINING
43,304 ACRES OF FINE PASTURAGE.

Full particulars of the position and advantages of this extensive
and unequalled Estate will be published, and may be had twenty.
eight days prior to the Sale, of D. H. Williams, Esq., solicitor,
Copthall.court, Throgmorton.street, City; at the Auction Mart;
and at Mr. George Robins•s offices, Covent-garden.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS begs to announce to
those who are inclined to improve their fortunes in another
and very favoured country, and in a climate that has no contempo-
rary in Europe, that he is instructed to OFFER to PUBLIC
SALE, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, August 18,
at Twelve,

A VERY IMPORTANT PROPERTY,
ADVANTAGEOUSLY SITUATE AT
THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE,

offering attractions and advantages of the utmost moment to the
emigrant Farmer with capital, who will know well how to appre-
ciate the benefits which his labour and exertions will command, in
a country where the soil and climate are the most genial, and cer-
tain at all periods of the year, to facilitate his laudable endea-
vours to secure that prosperity and independence to which his bold
and praiseworthy efforts will so justly entitle him next in impor.
tance may be ranked the protection which is afforded by this
country to Settlers,

THIi TITLE TO THE LAND BEING DIRECT FROM
GOVERNMENT;

and lastly, the position of the estate, which is known as

SLABBERT'S POORT,
situated in the field Cornetcy of Tarka, in the county of Beaufort,
being in south latitude 33,15 to 20, and east longitude 23.13
to 15, near the hake River. It is
A SHEEP FARM,
and considered to be the best in this district, comprising
43,304 ACRE OF RICH PASTURAGE,
which, during many years, has been the source of immense pecu-
niary gain.
THERE IS ABUNDANT FEED FOR 6,000 SHEEP THE
WHOLE YEAR,

which, ander able management, it is needless to remark, will
afford ample remuneration for the employment of capital; and the
profit arising from the export and sale of Wool from this prospe-
rous colony has lately been most encouraging. There is a small
house upon the estate, with a sheep krall near it; a garden planted
with fruit trees and 3,000 vines; also five permanent springs,
giving a never-failing supply of water.
The late district land surveyor of Beaufort describes the Estates
as follows:—" Slabbert's Poort is a good sheep farm, and com-
mands the best pasturage on the River Iraka ; and as the high
road from the Eastern Provinces to Cape Town passes through the
farm, it presents a very favourable position for
A STORE, OR SHOP."

does not give promise of the consequence that a closer inve,tiga-
tion will render manifest. It is almost too modest and unpre-
tending for the delight and comfort that prevails within. It is
quite equal in every respect to accommodate most perfectly the
family of a merchant of high standing—indeed, in going over it.
the composer of this sketch tried how, by ingenuity, it could be
rendered more conducive to comfort, but he essayed in vain; and
the offices, from beginning to end, are in thorough keeping with the
whole. This delightful abode does not belong to the class of modern
buildings, for beside everything the most fastidious mind can suggest,
there is a solidity that has recently been too much out of fashion.
The view from the extended lawn is quite a picture. The gal-
leries and balcony are not of common place; they are, indeed,
alike, useful and ornamental, partaking of views that are not
merely of considerable extent, but include a landscape, that is one
of incomparable beauty. One of the great delights that Champion
Hill especially claims as its own, is that although within
half an hour's drive of the seat of daily profit, there is a
quietude--a sort of repose, throughout the grounds, !hat seems to
estrange London from this locality. The grounds are of consi-
derable extent and loveliness, in which everything that can heighten
their natural claims has beets achieved. American plants are in
every corner, the cedars of Lebanon feathering to the ground, and
the Portugil laurels, (some of them eighty feet around), the arbor
vitae, and a little army of Rhododendums, seem all to aspire to aid
in this scene of delight and with

A BEAUTIFUL CONSERVATORY, PINERY, AND
DRAPERY, _

seem to leave nothing for the most fastidious to desire. There
are two Kitchen Gardens ; and at the extremity of the first Pad-
dock is a second Lawn of great beauty, with an almost superabund-
ance of shrubs and flowers, with ornamental Summer Houses ;
then the strawberry and vegetable gardens, with fruit trees well
selected; at the termination of the whole is the Gardner's abode.
surrounded by all sorts of useful offices ; in short, every appendage
to a little Farm ;
and there are SIX RICH PADDOCKS,
OF A PARK-LIKE CHARACTER.

to complete all that human invention could have desired.

---
In front of the Villa is an Orchard and Kitchen Garden, which
numbers amongst other advantages the certainty that
NO BUILDING OPERATION CAN INTERPOSE

Its unwelcome appearance here. In the Court-yard is a double
Coach house, 5 Stalls, 2 loose boxes and men servants'-room; in
short, there is everything that a reasonable mind can think of cv
enjoy. The .term is near fifty years, and no ground-rent. The
Paddocks are subject only to six guineas an acre.
Particulars may be had on the prerniies, brit the Vida cannot
be seen without a card; also at the. Auction Mart, and at
CieVentielden:.
