R. GEORGE ROBINS beers very re-

the 21st of May, at Twelve o'clock, and IN ONE LOT,
A singularly Eligible and highly important
FREEHOLD PROPERTY,
THE CROWLAND ESTATE,
very long distinguished for the superior character of the
►oil, and its extraordinary compactness. Lincolnshire has
always been proverbial for the rare quality of the Land ;
and this Estate has, from time immemorial, been ranked
as foremost in public favour. It will far exceed the limit
of an Advertisement to give, in detail, the immense advan-
tages connected with this invaluable property, but it is
apprehended a brief outline will be quite ample, with a-
view to enlist the prompt and serious attention of the,
Monied Interest to an investment which, unquestionably,
does not yield in its importance to any that has ever been
submitted to public competition in England. The leading
features may be summed up in the following concisecom-

mentary :
THE ESTATE IS ALL FREEHOLD, AND
INCLUDES FORTY-THREF. FARAIS,
CONTAINING

SEVEN THOUSAND ACRES
OF RICH LAND, FREE FROM TITHES,
and it is probable that for compactness and the quality of
the soil it stands proudly alone, without fear of competi-
tion. The Farm Houses are generally of the best de-
set ipt

THE PRESENT RENTAL AND VALUE EXCEEDS
TWELVE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED
POUNDS A-YEAR,
and it is known that, during adverse times, when mode-
rate land was necesturily diminished in value, the supe-
riority of this soil was a sure guarantee of a comparatively
small diminnthm in the rent roll.
CROWLAND MANOR HOUSE

is not of a pretending character, but may very easily be
rendered the comfortable hod of a family.

THE MANORIAL RIGHTS, ROYALTIES,
AND PRIVILEGES ARE EXTENSIVE.
THE TOWN OF CRUWLAND IS
ALL TRIBUTARY TO THIS MANOR.

The FINES and QUIT RENTS are CONSIDERABLE.
There is also pertaining to this property
THE RECTORY OF CROWLAND.

A valuable right of Fishing, and an abundance of
Game. The tenantry are highly respectable, and the con-
tiguity of the property to Peterborough, Stamford, Gran-
tham, Spalding, and other capital markets, afford at all
times a secure and ready vent fur the abundant produce of

IN CAVENDISH-SQUARE.
A distinguished Freehold R4sidence, with large Garden and
Offices of every description.
R. GEORGE ROBINS is entrusted to
SELL by PRIVATE TREATY, (or to LET fur
el period of years),

A NOBLE FREEHOLD MANSION,
erected in the good old times, when substantiality was
voted en essential appendage ; it has recently been decorat-
ed in a manner corresponding with the best taste, and is
moat delightful!), situate on the
EAST SIDE OF CAVENDISH-SQUARE.
It comprehends an entrance hail, in which there is a
porter's lodge. The entrance hall 'communicates with a
morning room, 19 feet by 21, and that with a library 22
feet by 19, and both with an eating room, SS feet by 23
feet, also with a new back stone staircase, from the base-
ment story to the attics, on which hack.ataircase there is
a water closet for every story, and water is laid on to the
highest attics. Over the eating-room there is a drawing
room, 38 feet feet by 23, that communicates with titter
other rooms of smaller dimensions, all communicating
with the spacious drawing room, and each with the
two staircases; over these are bed rooms, with dressing
rooms, and large cons enient closets. The attics are
newly built. The basement story consists of a spacious new
kitchen, apart front the mansion, a large convenient
housekeeper's room, butler's pantry, wine and beer cel:ars,
&e. ; also a fine spring of pure water, and a stove at the
bottom of the back staircase, to warm and air the whole
mansion. The stables and coach houses, with servants'
rooms over them, are in a superior style, situate at the
bottom of a spacious garden, which is in view of all the
rooms in the hack of the mansion, as the front rooms see
of the garden of the Square.
.The Premises are freehold,
and in the most perfect state of repair, fit for immediate
occupation ; and it is supposed there is not in the Metro-
polis, and to be disposed of, a mansion so well suited to
A FAMILY OF DISTINCTION. •
From this description it will be seen that the arrangement
is altogether so complete as to leave nothing to be desired ;
in fact it would partake of the work of supererogation to
add one word beyond this simple expression—that it
was remodelled and completed under the direct:on of Sir
Jeffrey Wyatville.

Cards to view may be hada: Mr. George Robinb's Offices,

WEST'S CELEBRATED GALLERY.

We
eperceive
tut rhea: are the tlbeeetidninspoofsethe
fitye
public auction. It is now many years since we had
the gratification of walking through the gallery in
his private house, but we have a strong recollection
of the excellence of many of the venerable artist's
compositions, particularly of some of his earlier pro-
ductions. One, for tie cleverness of the design,
vigour, and correctness of the drawing and pro-
priety of the colouring, has often recurred to us,
the subject was that of a King of Scotland over-
come by an infuriated stag. Then there were his two
masterly corn positions--" the Sea-fight off La Hogue,"
and " the Death of Gen. Wolfe :" a charming figure
of a Cupid crowned with a wreath of roses : also, if
•we recollect, a lovely study for an Eve. But we are
not about to enumerate even the best of the multi-
tudinous productions of Benjamin West, our oh,
ject in the present notice being merely to suggest
that it would amount to s culpable indifference if the
noble Directors of the National Gallery suffer :ha
" Christ Rejected," the " Death on the Pale liorfe,?,"
with many more paintings of real merit, to 1- scat-
tered abroad in private collections; even this, how..
ever, were preferable to their being transported over
the Atlantic—an arrangement for which purpose, we
hear, has been suggested. The paintings of Mr,
West are decidedly the property of England, and
we think his memory deserves the compliment that
she should make them per's exclusively.

In the following short tract, taken from C-kem
' Robins's announcement, we most heartily concur—
" In viewing this splendid exhibition of the founder
and father of British Historical Painting, the Na
tion at large will lament that in times like these,
when the march of intellect and improvement has
made such rapid strides, so great a treasure as Mr.
West's gallery should be left to the hazard and un.,
certainty of the humane, it were surely not appre-
ciating too highly the• English taste and liberality to
contemplate the National Gallery and British In-
stitution becoming the depository of this entire
Collection, and thus transmit to posterity a proud.
record of what could be accomplished by
Englishman, and in that peculiar art which 'dad sr)
long remained in its infancy."

The celebrated Dressing-case, fog which Pea
Green Hayne paid Mr. Love, of Bond-street, 1050 guineas,
is to he sold next week at George Rolsins'a.
RAISING THE WIND,---An advertisement in
our Paper to-day is a fresh instance of a novel method,
adopted, we believe, for the first time about two years
ago, of raising the supplies.—A nobleman of high rank
having occasion for 20 or 30,000/. sterling, applied
to a whose fame and property are alike pro-
! verbiaj"!eler
l,foriLis loan. The goldsmith complained of
the scarcity of cash, but volunteered to sell him the
amount required—the security being unexeeptionaltie.
The preliminaries being thus adjusted, a selection from the splendid Magazine was immediately made, and sis quickly despatched to George Robins, w',l4,
promptly
anticipated the wants of the young Nobleman, by the
advance of several thousand pounds; it forms altogether
a magnificent exhibition, and illeludes an infinite va-
riety of eve!), thing, as well useful as ornamental; good
taste has evidently presided over the selection—the public
view commences on Monday.
,THE CROWLAND ABBEY EsTATE.--The
largest property that has ever been offered to ccom-
petition, in one lot, is announced in our Columns thii
evening. It is the fine estate of Mr. Orby Hunter, and
the value we have heard exceeds 350,000/. The estate of
the 'Marquis of Ormond, it is true, realized 500,000/.,
but in that case the property was divided into lots, and
the largest (Sutton Hall) produced 216,000 dui seas. It
is a singular coincidence (and a very flattering one) that
the professional services of Mr. George Robins should have
been required on both these occasions, In the instance of
Lo-ed Ormond, that gentleman's exertions were influential
in obtidning an average of 40 years' purchase, on a rad!::
rental, and the funds were only a third higher than at
present. The Mlle territory, which has called forth these
retnarks,• includes 7,000 acres of the best land in Lincoln-
shire, diVided into 43 farms, and entirely within a rinz
fence, with the manorial- rights, royalties, and privilege,
the town of Crowiand (which is all tributary to this
manor), the rectory, fishing, &e. ;! the present rental not
quite
.13,000/. a-year. In times when agricultural distress
la-svailed, and moderate land necessarily diminished in
value, the superiority of this soil was always a sure
guaranl4.,e of only a comparatively small diminution in the
rent-roll. It will be almost 'Superfluous to acid, that tha
po.,sssion of snob an immense and valuable territory
be very influential with a view to the representation of the
county,
