THURSDAY, July 28,
A VILLA RESIDENCE, once well-known as IVY COTTAGE,
THE BEAUTIFUL RETREAT OF MR. MATHEWS, OF
THEATRICAL CELEBRITY,
to whose Cassical ta.te its present attractions are in a great mea-
sure attributable, and what was then wanting through limited
means has been since Wected by such an unbounded outlay of
money as was requisite to render it worthy to be the abode of one
of the first merchants or professional men of the day, whereto
spend his leisure hours, free from the turmoil of the busy world,
and for his convenience and economy of time at the least possible
distance therefrom.
The house is modelled in the Gothic school, a style so pecu-
liarly adapted to combine with the landscape, and although in
character of architecture a cottage, it nearly possesses all the advan-
tages of a family house, replete with every requisite ac-
commodation for domestic comfort, without the ostentation of a
mansion.

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 wil! know well hew 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,
THE TITLE TO THE LAND BEING DIRECT FROM
GOVERNMENT;
and lastly, the position of the estate, which 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 Iraka 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.

GAS METERS.
MPORT ANT to GAS COMPANIES and CON-
SUMERS of GAS. All the inconveniences arising from
Gas Meters getting out of action, and ceasing to register (to
the great loss of Gas Companies and serious inconvenience to
Consumers) are prevented by using THOMAS EDGE'S IM-
PROVED METERS, with Patent Lever Valves. These
Meters are approved of by all the London Gas Companies, and
will entirely supersede those made in the common way with
guide wires.
Meter Works, Great Peter street, Westminster.

THERE IS ABUNDANT FEED FOR 6,000 SHEEP THE
WHOLE YEAR,
which, tinder 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:—" Slabb,rt'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
fart', it presents a very favourable position for
A STORE, OR SHOP."

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,

very inadequate description of the costly effects which will be

merits of

THE STATE BEDCHAMBER AND DRESSING ROOMS,

have only recently been fitted up; likewise the excellent Fur-

the whole of which are most completely and admirably appointed;
also of an immense number of bedchambers for domestics, and of
the extensive range of offices.

THE CELEBRATED ADMIRAL LORD ANSON,
who had unusual facilities of enriching his gallery with gems from
the continent, and who, aided by a consummate judgment, spared
neither cost nor trouble to accomplish his darling object. The
rarest treasures of the Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Flemish, and
English Schools, in their pure state, will here be found ; and
'where there is so much of excellence it is difficult to select for
particular mention ; still the following well-known and un-
doubted pictures by Guido, of the " Angel appearing unto Peter,"
and " Susannah and the Elders," must have especial notice ; two
landscapes by G. Poussin ; a splendid landscape by Both ; a
landscape by Claude; a landscape by Domenichino; a landscape,
with cattle, by Cuyp; a small landscape, with cattle and sheep,
by K. Du Jardin ; a landscape by Berghem; and another by
Gainsborough, with six matchless sea pieces, by Vandcrvelde—
one being of large size and singularly fine, and its companion by
Backhuysen—all these are incomparable as works of art. There
are also many charming specimens by the following esteeme;

some of modern date. The ensemble may be pronounced
oneof
the richest in this country; it includes nearly go
matchless speci.

be far too feeble to express their claims to admiration; the fine
antique life-size statues of Neptune with the Delphi

Bacchus with a Satyr, of Paris, of Venus from the Bath, of one
of the Muses, of one of the Fates, of a Roman Youth and the
comi•anion, a Female representing Comedy, and many more equally
splendid, with a long list of antique marble Busts, all inestimable as
works of art ; whilst, amongst the modern, may be named

POLLUX, BY NOLLEKENS,
and several other full length figures, the busts of Homer, Demos-
thenes, Marc Antony, Shakspeare, and:Locke, magnificent speci-
mens of sculpture, all by Rubiliac, and the noble Busts of Francis

Testimonial from John Sawyer, Esq., of Haywood
Lodge, Maidenhead, Berks, to Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 39,
Albemarle.street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel, and 76,
King William-street, City.—" Gentlemen,—Having been deaf for
some tnne, which I found increasing, and which very much ineon.
venienced both myself and friends, and observing your announce-
ment in the daily papers, I was induced in the month of November-
-1839, to make trial of your Invisible Voice Conductor, Sound Mag,
nifiers, and although at my advanced age--at that time past my
77th year—l had no hope of obtaining any relief, but immediately
I applied them according to your directions, and to the surprising
astonishment of many of my friends around me, I could hear with
them the general conversation, and I am happy to inform you that
by the constant use of them both my ears and my hearing have be.
come so much improved that I can now hear acutely without their aid,
and in consequence of th 2 valuable benefit which I have derived, has
caused me to make application to you for Spectacles, which I find
equally good, and afford me all the comfort and relief by day and
candlelight that I could desire. I feel much pleasure in handing
you this testimonial for the great advantage I have derived, and shall
be most happy to make this statement to any inquiry that may
be made. I am, Gentlemen, your most obedient servant, J. Sawyer
June 22, 1842."—Observe the Messrs. Solomons have no con-
nexion with persons of the same name in Ireland and Scotland,
they do not employ any travellers nor agents; the genuine arti-
cles are only to be had in London, at their establishments, 39, Albe.
marle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the Yolk Hotel, and 76, King
William-street, City.

IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WHO EXPECT TO DE
RIVE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—Schweppe's
Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only
throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised
world, that any enconium on its merits might appear super-
fluous; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half
a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or
less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty
of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele-
brated Water continues to be manufactured on the largest
scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es-
tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London; and also at their
three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ;
and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at
most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian
Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. The
just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de-
mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them
of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against
which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public
The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious
article for " Szthweppe's." by selling it in Schweppe's marked
bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe-
rior water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the
same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously
palmed on the public for the genuine—the reputation of the
latter is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a
certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its
legitimate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe
and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over
tho cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment
in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with-
out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with
pride to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Palaces
of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the
three kingdirms ; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less
constant on the continent and in other parts of the world.
Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the East
and West Indies and our numerous Colonies are continually
transmitting orders received from their respective agents and
correspondents, and highly gratifying is the testimouy
Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from gentle-
men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their
Soda Water when met with in tropical climates, and of the
high condition in which it is generally found. The Pater
ordered for foreign countries is manufactured with an express
reference to its destination, and it is well known that no other
can equally well endure the variations of climate. Schweppe, s
Lemonade is an elegant preparation of mere recent intro-
duction, but from its refreshing and wholesome properties is
rapidly getting into extensive reputation. It is an effervescing
draught of most agreeable flavour, and made of the best mate-
rials, without regard to cost. Physicians and medical men
constantly recommend it in cases of fever, &c., nor is it less de-
sirable as an article of luxury. Every genuine bottle will
have a yellow lable on its side, with the name and address of
the Arm. ...Schw.eppe and Co. are the largest importers of the
German Seltzer Water, which they receive direct from the
springs, in quarts and pints, and which they offer to the public
in the original packages. N.B.—Ezport orders for all climates
executed on the shortest notice.
