IN THE ISLE OF NVIGHT,

Especially addressed to the MEMBERS of the YACHT CLUB,
an ELEGANT MARINE VILLA, recognised for many a
long )ear as the r.vourite ABODE of LORD SPENCER ; the
PLEASURE GROUNDS, extending to ELEVEN ACRES,
disposed in unquestionable taste.

the plantations are in the most thriving state, and actually approach
the terrace, and form a perfect screen from the slightest annoyance
in tempestuous weather. These beauteous woods and shrubbery
walks are so luxuriant, the grounds so elegantly disposed, extend-

appellation of

front view is shut out from the public gaze by full_groa•n
shrubberies. The vill•c on the vil'age side is adorned
by ivy entwining itself very delightfully around this en-

Westfield House must necessarily acquire. The courtyard In-
cludes ten stalls, double coach.house, and all useful appendages,
not forgetting the ice-house.
THE 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
