the wide ocean, it is so far re-
moved, and the grounds so beautifully elevated for this especial displayed considerable tact ; for,
purpose, that it never dreads an unfriendly visit from the great
waters. There is a
FINE BOLD TERRACE WALK,
OF GREAT EX FENT, PARALLEL WITH THE SEA ;
the plantations are in the most thriving state, and actually approach
the terrace, and forma perfect screen from the slightest annoyance
in tempestuous weather. These beauteous woods and shrubbery
walks are so luxuriant, the grounds 60 elegantly disposed, extend.
ing to more than I I acres ; indeed, there is something so unap
proachable in the ensemble, that it may well have obtained the
appellation of
THE GEM OF THE ISLE OF WIGHT.
And be it remembered, this stone mansion, with its almost magic
ards removed from
' influence, is only a few hundred Y
THE ELEGANT PIER AT RIDE
and yet it is so embedded amid the full-grown plantations and
umbrageous wa'ks, that little of it is perceptible, and the
front view is shut out from the public gaze by full_grown
shrubberies. The villa en the viltage side is A
adorned
by is y entwining, itself very delightfully around this en-
vied spot. Indeed, it is quite manifest that, indepen-
dently of an outlay, which has been computed at 20,000/., con-
siderable tact and great judgment must have presided over its corn-
rktion. The accommodation is quite commensurate with all the
legitimate wants of a family of pretensions, and the best rooms arc
of suitable proportions. A Nobleman, or
A MEMBER OF THE YACHT CLUB,
would, indeed, be envied the advantages which the possession of
Westfield House must necessarily acquire. The court-yard in-
eludes ten stalls, double coach-house, and all useful appendages,
net forgetting the ice-house.
THF: LAWN AND PLEASURE GROUNDS,
of considerable extent and beauty, are laid out with considerable
effect ; and there is a conservatory', with little summer-houses
dotted about, to take peeps at
THE VARIED SCENES OF ENCHANTMENT
that ever and anon present themselves through the woodland
scenery. The principal suite of chambers partake of the sea and
land view to an extent without limit. To conclude, it may with
great truth be affirmed, it can have nofear of a rival throughout the
island.

THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF LICHFIELD,

very inadequate description of the costly effects which will be

best an purest taste, to journey to this most extensive and
splendid auction.

THE EXPENSIVE FURNITURE OF THE MANSION

ever, in the best taste, and excellent of its time, and comprises the
appropriate fittings of the noble drawing-rooms, saloon, dining-room,
library, morning room, and boudoir, with many
BRILLIANT CHIMNEY AMD PIER GLASSES,

numbers 120. It was formed by

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
-arebt treasures of the Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Flemish, and

Eng. ;sh Schools, in their pure state, will here be found ; and
ere is so much of excellence it is difficult to select for
wfre"n"
particular mention ; still the following well-known and un-
doubted picture,.
by Guido, of the " Angel appearing unto Peter,"
the Elders," must have especial notice ; two
and " Susannah an,
landscapes by G. Foul,n ; a splendid landscape by Both ; a
landscape by Claude; a 'lalscape by Domenichino; a landscape,
with cattle, by Cuyp ; a Ernah landscape, with cattle and sheep,

Gainsborough, with six matchless SCA pieces, by Vandervelde—
one being of large size and singularly tine, and its companion by
