MR. GEORGE ROBillB respectfully makes
known that he is directed by the Mortgagee, with full
power of sale, to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at his
Great Room, in Covent.garden, on MONDA:Y, May 30, at Twelve,
the distinguished FREEHOLD ESTATE, one of the

MOST SPLENDID IN LONDON,
both within and without; in fact it is a contemporaneous palace
with, or it may be denominated
CROCKFORD'S IN MINIATURE.

It was erected by the Messrs. Bond a few years since in a magni.
ficent manner, regardless of expellee, as
A FASHIONABLE OPPOSITION SUBSCRIPTION HOUSE,
It is adorned throughout by French windows. The interior is
completed in a style that must be seen, or it cannot be appreciated.
THE SPLENDID GRAND SUITE,

au premier, can hardly be exceeded either in its taste or anagn
ficence. The ceilings are one uninterrupted continuation of

IMMENSE PLATES OF GLASS,
reflecting everywhere the splendour that adorns
THE INTERIOR OF THIS FAIRY LAND.
There are altogether ten bedchambers, two morning rooms, inde-
pendent of the great suite, capital dining parlours, and a cuisine
and larder below, worthy of Monsieur Ude, with all sorts of ap.
pendages essential to family comfort, and cellaring worthy of an
Emperor. THIS FREEHOLD GROUND RENT
OF THREE HUNDRED I'OUNDS A-YEAR,
is secured for a term, of which forty. four years are yet unexpired.
It was entirely rebuilt a few years since at a cost which may be
estimated at near
" TEN THOUSAND POUNDS."
It is under lease to Messrs. Bond, for a period which will be deter.
mined in thirteen years, at a very
INADEQUATE RENT OF SIX HUNDRED POUNDS
A.YEAR,

and at the end of the term in forty.four years, the purchaser will
be entitled to the increased rent. As an investment, it appears
especially adapted to those who look forward to an adequate pro.
vision for their children, for he must be sceptical over much who
can doubt that St. James's-street will not maintain its proud superi-
ority to the end of time.

Particulars may be had at the Auction Mart ; of Messrs. Met.
calfe, Woodnonse, and Metcalfe, Lincoln's Inn ; Messrs. Simpson,
and Co., Solicitors, Austin Friars ; and in Covcnt.gardep.
P.S.— Wean only be viewed by a card, from two till four, and
the kind permission of Mr. Bond.

this domicile of comfort by

THE WOODLAND SCENERY
by which it is encompassed. Within the domain there is an infi-
nite variety of everything that can please the eye. It is diversified
by lawn and plcasure-grounds, and wilderness and plantations, with
shrubbery walks extending far and wide. From the summit the
