ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning, Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION at ONE CHARGE.

THE THORNHILL PARK ESTATE, within a short drive of
Southampton, with a PARK and DEMESNE EXTENDING
to 220 ACRES, the farms and building-ground connected, alto-
gether 580 acres.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is favoured by the
instructions of the Trustees of the late
JAMES BARLOW HOY, Esq.,
to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, on the PREMISES,
on MoNuav, the sth of May, at Twelve o'Clock, punctually (when
THE ELEGANT PROPERTY THROUGHOUT THE
MANSION
is to be sold by public competition,)
ONE OF THE MOST ELIGIBLE ESTATES IN
THE BEAUTEOUS ENVIRONS OF SOUTHAMPTON.
The abode is distinguished from all its contemporaries in public
estimation, and may now, from its close approximation to the
CHOSEN SEAT OF ROYALTY,

claim to he one
OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES IN
HER MAJESTY'S DOMINIONS.
It was the favourite abode of
JAMES BARLOW HOY, ESQ.,
who for a lengthened period was
THE M.P. FOR SOUTHAMPTON;
and it is a fact not to be impeached, that If the new purchaser
partakes of his hospitality, and be of
SOUND POLITICAL CREED.
" HE WILL WALK OVER THE COURSE WHENEVER
THE NEXT ELECTION ARRIVES."
The MANSION is the commanding feature of the vicinity.
Thd late lamented proprietor, in its completion, spared no expense,
and unequivocal taste is marked throughout, and it will soon be
perceived that luxury and splendour are mixed up with a degree
of tact, rarely, if ever, approached. The architectural form is very
chaste; the front adorned by six lofty pillars, with a paved gallery,
leads to the terrace walk, the shrubberies and the plantations.
The entree is by a covered approach. Within the Mansion its ad-
vantages and capability may be summed up in one short sentence—
" NOTHING WHATEVER IS LEFT TO BE DESIRED
OR IMAGINED."
An East Indian seeking for an appropriate residence in which to
prolong his days in the enjoyment of his vast acquisitions, with in-
creasing health, yet with oriental magnificence; or to a member of
" THE ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON," who seeks to unite
propinquity to the rendezvous and the comforts of a luxurious
home, a residence is here offered combining advantages rarely to be
equalled, and certainly nowhere to be surpassed, while the sur-
rounding scenery is everywhere without a rival in the field.
"_ There is nothing left to fancy's guess,
You see that all is loveliness."
THE PARK AND THE DOMAIN AROUND IT
IS 220 ACRES.
to which are to be added the pleasure farms and building-ground
connected, forming an aggregate of
FIVE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY ACRES.
Portions of the estate may be let oft on building leases, at rents
producing Is. 6d. and 2.5. per foot frontage, and it must be ob-
served it is quite away from the possibility of interfering with the
mansion or its extensive scenery. About 45 acres of the most
luxuriant Or and larch plantations, and an equal quantity of valu-
able land, forming a small farm, are still available for this im.
portant purpose; and there are 32 acres comprising every variety
of hill and dale, with views extending to the Isle of Wight,
while the
SOUTHAMPTON WATERS AND THE NEW FOREST
appear close at hand. An experienced landscape gardener of ac-
knowledged taste represents this to be the most beautiful situation
in the southern part of Hampshire. It is intended to be a positive
sale, to which capitalists are invited to become competitors.
The estate can be seen only by tickets, to be had of Messrs. H.
and R. B. Sewell, solicitors, Newport; of Mr. Robins, at his
offices, Covent-garden ; at the Auction Mart; and at the Dolphin,
Southampton.

A PEREMPTORY SALE OF BRANDESTON HALL, IN
THE ELIZABETHAN STYLE, IN THE VICINITY OF
IPSWICH, WITH THE MANORS AND ROYALTIES,
AND A DOMAIN OF 65'2 ACRES OF EXCELLENT
LAND; A RESPECTABLE TENANTRY-AT-WILL;

THE PRESENT LOW RENTAL AND VALUE AP-
PROACHES 1,5001. A YEAR.
34-R. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to SELL
_L by AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on THURSDAY,
the 15th of May, at Twelve, by direction of the Mortgagee
and Trustees, for absolute sale (the Court of Chancery hating
cleared away all difficulty, and cleansed the title from doubt or
uncertainty),

A SINGULARLY IMPORTANT FREEHOLD PROPERTY,
of which historical record traces the creation from the year 1530 as
THE BRANDESTON HALL ESTATE.
The Hall has invariably been the subject of great admiration—
its outward form is meddled in the

TASTE AND STYLE OF OUR QUEEN ELIZABETH.
is seated on a lawn which approaches
THE RIVER DEDEN, AND IS WELL
SUPPLIED WITH FISH.

Le meandering dream is seen gait!), gliding through the whole
estate, offering occasional relief in dry seasons, and always capable
of irrigating the lands.

THERE IS AN EXCLUSIVE RIGHT OF FISHING
FOR FIVE MILES.

THE PARK-LIKE GROUNDS PRETTILY TIMBERED,
and beautifully wooded, are scattered around in pleasing negligence,
and the Mansion is seated under the fostering wings of the ancient
church, its close ally. There are prolific gardens, lawn, and plea.
sure.grounds, which will not be the worse for a little tact in restor-
ing them to their pristine state.
Mr. Robins, in pursuing his undeviating course of candour,
desires it to be understood that, although a considerable outlay has
taken place, much remains to be done, and a lady gifted with tact
and judgment would agreeably employ a little of her leisure in
decorating the interior. The situation is really very picturesque,
and quite beautiful, to which may be appended
THE MANORS OF GREAT EXTENT AND PROFIT,
MANORIAL RIGHTS, PRIVILEGES, AND IMMUNI-
TIES, THE ROYALTIES,
AND ALL ITS CONSEQUENTIAL ADVANTAGES;

independently of which, a court is held annually to receive a con-
siderable income from the

FINES AND QUIT-RENTS, WHICH ARE ARBITRARY.
THE VALUABLE FREEHOLD DOMAIN EXTENDS TO
SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY-TWO ACRES

of first-rate pasture, meadow, corn, and turnip lands, lying in a
complete ring-fence, divided into
SIX SNUG AND VERY COMPACT LITTLE FARMS,
with suitablebuildings and good tenants, who will all bebut too happy
to continue at the present low rental. The portion unlet with the
Manor House, is 77 acres, including the park and pleasure-
grounds, woods, and plantations. The annual produce and value
will approach
FIFTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR.

The appearance of the estate should be seen to be properly appre-
ciated ; nothing throughout the country can look better, or prove
more authoritatively the superiority of the soil. And

. .
THE WOODLAND SCENERY
is so very beautiful that nothing in the vicinity can be assimilated
to it.

" Hero verdant pastures wide extended lie,
And yield the grazing herd exuberant supply,
Luxuriant waving in the wanton air,
Here golden grain rewards the peasant's care."
The distance from London, although 80 miles, is reduced
to a three or four hours' ride by the Eastern Counties Rail-
road. The markets are everywhere excellent. Lots of brick earth,
with a kiln on the property well secluded, indeed the property is so
full of advantages, that although Mr. Robins has taxed his in-
genuity, it has really been in vain to find an opportunity to reduce
the slight colouring he has given to the landscape, and he concludes
by confidently recommending it as one of the safest investments lit
the county.

TO CAPITALISTS inclined to INVEST in the PURCHASE
of a TERRITORIAL ESTATE in FRANCE, producing a
RENTAL of 1,2001. PER ANNUM, and secured until the
Year 1860, when it will be very considerably augmented.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is favoured with In-
structions to negotiate the SALE by PRIVATE
TREATY of A LANDED INVESTMENT IN FRANCE,
which, from its many and peculiar advantages, both of position,
soil, tenure, occupation, and increasing improvement, offers strong
temptations to the English capitalist, at the present high price of
the funds, to invest with the certainty of 3 per cent. until the year
1860, from which period a very important-augmentation may be
relied upon.

This Railway will establish a most desirable line of communication
between London, Dover, Salisbury, Yeovil, and the Weat of England,
traversing in Its course many wealthy, populous, and Important
districts.
It will commence at the Reigate-station on the Dover and Brighton
Railways, and pass by Dorking and Guildford to Basingstoke. From
thence it will proceed by Whitchurch, Andover, and Salisbury, to
Yeovil. fly whichmeans the connexion between the East and Wed
Coasts of England will be complete.
A. further and most important feature of the undertaking is, that
by using the line of the South Western Railway from London to
Basingstoke, it will bring Salisbury and Yeovil into an entirely direct
line of communication with the Metropolis. The distance from
London to Salisbury will be about BO miles, and to Yeovil 120 miles.
It will also unite four of the principal Railways in the kingdom ;
viz., the Dover, Brighton, South-Western, and Great Western, and at
the same time will most materially aid communication between the
ports of Dover, Shoreham, Portsmouth, Southampton and Bristol, a
most desirable object in a stational point of view.
A reference to the accompanying map will manifestly prove that
few Railways in the kingdom will form a medium of communication
with a greater aggregate of wealthy, populous, and important places.
By it, Salisbury, Sherborne, Yeovil, Bath and Bristol, Bradford,
Trowbridge, Frome. Guildford, Farnham, Basingstoke, :Whitchurch,
Andover, Weyhill with its extensive fair, Shaftesbury, Milborne Port,
Ststlbridge, and I lchester, with the numerous smaller towns and villages
in their vicinity, will be brought into immediate connexion with each
other, rendering the endertaking eminently calculated to promote the
convenience of the public, and certain to yield a large return to its
proprietors.
The country to be traversed will, as has been ascertained from ac-
tual surveys, admit of the construction of the Railway at a moderate
cost. The portions yet to bo formed will comprise the country be-
tween Reigate and Salisbury, about 7G miles (less about 11 miles
proposed to bo used of the South Western Railway), and that between
Salisbury and Yeovil about 40 miles, making the entire length of the
use yet to be constructed no more than 105 miles.
Application to be made for Shares to the Provisional Committee ;

Families wishing to try any of the above are recommended to
order them through their own tradesmen, taking notice, however,
that these being the London Cash Prices, the Country Dealer must
charge higher to cover his expenses of carriage. Where no dealer
can be found willing to sell them, Edward Price and Co. will supply
quantities of not less than 51. worth, direct from their manufactory,
at Belmont, Vauxhall. On receiving a Post-office order for this
amount, they will forward Candles and Oil in the proportions that
may be directed ; or, to parties wishing for samples and unable to
obtain them, they will, on receiving a 11. Post-effice order, forward a
box containing 31bs of each of the four sorts of Candles, and' a
gallon of the Oil. They fix the price of the sample box so high, to
avoid all suspicion of their wishing to interfere with the retail trade
of the Country Dealers.
The trade may obtain the above Candles and Oil wholesale, in
London, from Edward Price and Co., Belmont, Vauxhall ; Palmer

COPY of a LETTER from WILLIAM
COURTNEY, Esq.
To Mr. THOMAS PaouT, 229, Strand, London.
Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway
Station, Rants, October 26, 1844.
. . . .

Slr,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have
experienced in taking your Pills for the Gout. I was taken on Thurs-
day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get out
of my bed, and after I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in-
flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and
within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards
took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this
morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found In
a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in
my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must
have died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that
time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—within two
hours I was quite easy. The use of those Pills ought, really, to be
known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that
suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has
been your Pills. Make what use you please of my report.-1 ours
truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COURTNEY.
Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none
have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the community,
nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the Impor-
tant discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS,
he efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recom-
mendation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effec-
tive for gout and rheumatism, in all its various forms, including
sciatica, lumbago, pains in the head and race, frequently treated as
tooth-ache, &c.
,They require neither confinement nor attention of
any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach,
brain, or other vital part.
Sold by Thomas Trout, 229, Strand, London; and, by his appoint-
ment, by all respectable medicine vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

COUNTY OF

LINCOLN RAILWAY

MEETING.

The Committee of Management of the DIRECT NORTHERN
RAILWAY, beg to inform their Shareholders that at the County of
Lincoln Railway Meeting, held at Lincoln, on Friday, the 28th inst.,
and at which about eight thousand persons were present, a resolution
in favour of the London and York Line was proposed and supported
by large Shareholder. in that Company.
The following amendment was proposed by the Earl of Winchilsea,
and seconded by General Johnson, M.P. :
" Resolved—That this meeting most corditilly approves of the
system of railways affecting this county, which has been favourably
reported upon by the Board of Trade, comprehending the Cambridge
and Lincoln, and the continuation by. the Direct Northern from Lin-
coln to York, together with their branches."
Both tile mover and seconder declared that they had no interest in
either line, and advocated the Cambridge and Lincoln and Direct
Northern Linos solely on public grounds, those lines being best suited
to the wants of tke county, and as having been recommended to Par-
liament by the impartial and unbiassed tribunal—the Board of Trade.
The 'amendment was supported by the Earl Fitzwilliam and
John COupland, 'Esq., one of . the most extensive corn merchants of
Lincolnshire.

decide whether the resolution or the amendment was carried in the
affirmative, when-a second show of hands.being called for, and:with a
similanresult; a division to opposite' sides of the Castle-yard took
place, when the Sheriff used the following words :—" I find it difficult
to decide; but I think I ant bound to say, that the London and Yerk

. The Committee of Management beg to state that they have ample
proof to show before the Committee on the BM that a large number
of persons were engaged by parties interested in opposing the Direct
Northern and Cambridge and Lincoln Lines, at 2s. and 2s. 6d. each,
to hold up their hands against those lines of Railway, and that a con-
siderable portion of their opponents were from Newark and other
parts of Nottinghamsbire, and therefore in uo way entitled to take
part in the proceedings of the meeting.

MURDER OF EMPEROR PAUL 1.

(From M. Thiers' " History of the Consulate and
Empire of France under Napoleon.")
The Russian aristocracy was accordingly highly
exasperated with the newly adopted policy of PauL If
they had blamed, in this prince, an excess of hatred
against France, they found still greater fault with an
excess of aftection towards her, especially when this
surprising attachment was carried to such an extent, as
to adopt steps ruinous to the interests of the landed
proprietors. Besides this obnoxious interference with
their tastes and their interests, Paul was still further
guilty of cruelties, to which, however, he was not na-
turally addicted, being
rather of a good, than of a mis-
chievous disposition. He had sent a multitude of
unhappy wretches to Siberia ; afterwards, affected by
their sufferings, he recalled them, but without re-instating
them in their property. These unfortunate creatures
filled all St. Petersburgh with their complaints, and with
their lamentable misery. Annoyed by these spectacles,
he exiled them a second time. Becoming every day
more and more distrustful, in proportion as the
hatred of his subjects became more apparent to him, he
threatened the lives of every one around him. He
conceived sinister designs against his ministers, some-
times against his wife and children, and this prince, who
was all but mad, assumed habitually the behaviour of a
tyrant. He surrounded the palace Michael, which was
his usual residence, like a fortress, with bastions and
ditches. One would have said, that he seemed to anti-
cipate a sudden attack. At night, he even barricadoed
the door which separated his apartments from those of
the Empress, and thus unwittingly predisposed every-
thing for his tragical end.
Such a state of things could not long continue, and
must inevitably terminate in some deed of violence,
similar to that which, more than once, had been wit-
nessed in this empire, where, it is true, rapid advances
have been made towards civilisation, but where actual
barbarism was the point of starting. The idea of getting
rid of the unhappy Paul, by the accustomed means, that
is to say, by a revolution at the palace, there where the
palace is the nation, suggested itself to every mind.
Let us set a proper value upon the advantages of insti-
tutions. At another extremity of Europe, upon one of
the greatest thrones of the universe, sat a prince afflicted
also with insanity, a headstrong, but pious and good
prince, George 111. This king, occasionally deprived of
his reason, during whole months, had just experienced a
relapse of his malady, at one of the most critical mo-
ments for England. Nevertheless, the bu'siness of the
nation proceeded in the most regular and ordinary
course. The constitution providing the king with minis-
ters, who conduct the government on his behalf, this
aberration of the royal mind did not, in any way, pre-
judice the affairs of the nation. Mr. Pitt held the
government for George 111., precisely as he had held it
during seventeen years ; the- thought of an atrocious
crime never entered into the imagination of any one !
At St. Petersburgh, on the contrary, the spectacle of an
insane prince on the throne, gave rise to the most
sinister projects.
There was at that time, at the Court of Russia, one
of those men, dreaded by all, who never shrink from the
perpetration of any audacious deed. In a regular govern-
ment, such men may rise, perhaps, to the station of
eminently good citizens, but in a despotic government,
they become criminals, if crime is, in certain cases, one
of the expedients not actually sanctioned by the Go-
vernment, but incidental to its administration. Crime
must be condemned in every country where it prevails,
but we must condemn still more the institutions by
which it is engendered.
Count Pahlen had served in the Russian army with
distinction. He possessed a commanding person, and
concealed beneath the rough, and sometimes familiar
manner of a soldier, a deep and acute mind. He was en-
dowed, moreover, with singular audacity, and an imper-
turbable presence of mind. As Governor of SL Peters-
burgh, intrusted with the police of the empire, and
initiated, thanks to the confidence of his master, into all
the great affairs of State, he was, in point of fact,
though not by office, the principal personage in the
Russian Government. His political opinions respecting
the public policy of the country were very decided.
The crusade against the French revolution seemed to
him as unreasonable, as the new-born zeal against
England was intemperate. A prudent reserve, a neu-
trality skilfully maintained, in the midst of the for-
midable contest between France and England, appeared
to him the only advantageous policy which Russia could
pursue. Entertaining neither English nor French views,
but being wholly Russian in his opinions, he was also a
Russian in his manners, and a Russian such as existed
in the days of Peter the Great. Being persuaded that
everything was hastening towards ruin, unless the reign
of Paul were curtailed, having even conceived some
alarm for himself personally, from certain indications of
dissatisfaction which had escaped the Emperor, he
boldly formed his resolutl.on, and communicated it con-
fidentially to Count Panim, Vice-Chancellor, who was
at the head of foreign affairs. They both were of
opinion that it was necessary to terminate this state of
things, which had become as alarming for the empire, as
for individual safety. Count Pahlen took upon himself
the execution of the terrible project upon which they had
resolved.* The heir to the throne was the Grand Duke
Alexander, of whose reign we have been contemporaries
—a young prince, who gave every promise of superior
qualities, and who appeared at that time, what he did
not prove subsequently, easy to be led. He it was
whom Count Pahlen desired to raise to the throne, by
some catastrophe brought about suddenly, without dis-
turbance or confusion. It was indispensably necessary
to come to some understanding with the heir, the Grand
Duke, to have his concurrence, in order to avoid, after
the deed was perpetrated, being treated like a vulgar
assassin, who is sacrificed, whilst, at the same time, ad-
vantage is taken of his crime. It was embarrassing to
him to break the matter to this Prince, who, governed
by amiable feelings, was incapable of lending his coun-
tenance to an attempt against the life of his father.

* The following details are the most authentic that can be
procured concerning the death of I'aul I. This is the source
from which they are derived. The Court of Prussia, greatly
shocked at the news of the death of Paul 1., was still more
highly indignant at the unparalleled effrontery with which
some of the accomplices in the crime dared to boast of it at
Berlin. The Court obtained, through various channels, and
principally from a well-informed person, some curious details,
which were collected in a minute, and transmitted to the
First Consul. These are the particulars which M. Bigaon,
at that time 'Secretary of our Embassy to the Court of
Prussia, was enabled to procure, and which he has introduced
into his work. But the most private circumstances still re-
mained unknown, when a singular accident placed France in
possession of the only account, worthy of credit, concerning
the death of Paul I. which perhaps is in existence. A French
emigrant, who had passed his life in the service of Russia,
and who had acquired some military renown, became the
friend of Count l'ahlen and General Benningsen. Being
at the country-seat of Count Pahlen, he obtained, from
their own lips, a circumstantial detail of everything which
took place in St. Petersburgh, on the tragical night between
the 23d and 24th of March. As the emigrant was very care-
ful in taking notes of everything he saw and heard, he imme-
diately committed to paper an account of the particulars
given by these principal actors, and inserted it in the valu-
able memoirs he has left behind him. These manuscript
memoirs are now the property of France. They correct nu-
merous inaccurate or vague statements, and moreover, do not
compromise more than they were previously the names in-
volved in this dark event. 'they furnish, however, more
precise and probable details, instead of the false and exagge-
rated accounts already known. After comparing this report,
emanating from a quarter perfectly well-informed, with the
details furnished by the Court of Prussia, we have drawn up
the historical recital which follows, and which seems to us
the only one truly worthy of credit, perhaps the only com-
-- plete one which posterity will ever obtain of this tragical
catastrophe,
