THE VERITABLE RUS IN URBE.

To create a. place altogether so beautiful, it will be inferred, as a
matter of course, that the purse-strings have been called into
active requisition ; it is material, however, to add

VERY GREAT TACT HAS PRESIDED
over every department, and if perfection be a term allowed in an
announcement to convey a sense of possessing all that within a
limited space is to be found congregated any where, then the
Villa under discussion puts in an irresistible claim. The Offices
throughout are most abundant, and in the Court-yard (which is
entirely shut out by the Plantations) is Coach-house, stabling for
five Horses, with a retinue of subordinate Offices, including a
beautiful Dairy, in short, family comfort has been studied through-
out ; it now becomes imperative to allude to the surrounding scene,

TWELVE ACRES,

of which four or five are disposed in a Kitchen Garden, most beau.

THE BRENTWOOD STATION,

from which it extends fur more thaTnh;llamile: and affords an
opportunity not to be resisted to divide this land in suitable lots
so as toform

A LITTLE OPPOSITION TOWN TO ITS ANCIENT
CONTEMPORARY,

and to which it will, in a few years, extend ; a portion will be
divided for Villas, giving to each a little land. The situation
of the property will render this a matter of certainty rather than
speculation ; the country around is so beautiful, that it puts on the
character of a redeeming virtue to save Essex from its unfavourable
report for non-enjoyment of the picturesque or beautiful; for miles
around this spot the scene may almost challenge Devonshire for a
comparison. There is, with many others, a view of Weald Church,
that appears quite interminable; it is never absent, and materially
aids the landscape, which extends over the beauteous valley to St.
Paul's. Throughout the Estate the lands are of a picturesque and
undulating character ; in fact, it will be difficult to find an invest.
meat where a favourable result for a building operation is more
manifest; and it will not for a moment be doubted that the lands,
judiciously divided, within half a mile of Brentwood and forty
minutes' ride of the Bank, will turn out a most beneficial specula-
tion. Thirty-five acres contain Gravel of a superior description,
which is in constant request, since there is none of a quality to
contend with it, and the land generally abounds in brick earth.
The town of Brentwood contains a very richly-ondowed Free
Grammar School, the possessor of this estate and of the different
lots, may partake of this great advantage iss an eminent degree.

mediately, and then had at the Inns at Rorriford, Brentwood,

of every denomination appertaining to

within five miles of Stafford, and 12 miles from Lichfield. A
very inadequate description of the costly effects which wi❑ be
found congregated can only be conveyed through the usual mode
of a public announcement. Mr. Robins will endeavour to state,
as succinctly as po►sible, the leading features, with the full con-
viction that there will be found, in every department, the utmost
attraction to interest and induce the connoiseur of the fine arts,

that are so lovely as to be one of the features of this vicinity, and
in the Lodge Entree, is discovered a taste that may be useful as a
STUDY to some of our modern architects ; the residence, which
presents a pleasing object to the passing traveller, has numbered
some forty years, and therefore does not altogether aspire
to be
accounted of the modern school, nor is it proposed as a fit abode
for a very large family—it claims only to be congenial to the
want: and wishes of a retiring merchant,
or a family of quiet man-
ners, who may repose here in a situation of great beauty with
multiplied advantages, and every comfort they can desire; the
otlices are all suitable, and there is a warm sheltered farm-yard
close at hand, and two small kitchen-gardens: with this lot about
NINETY ACRES OF PARK GROUND
will be allotted. But the more important feature connected with
this purchase is yet to be told. The Eastern Counties Railway
passes through the Estate, and the turnpike-road forms its
boundary. These important points have given an impetus—a sort
of enterprising spirit that Brentwood in days of yore never dreamt
of. The land to be divided into lots abuts on the high road, and
is in CLOSE communication with

important commercial measures were under discussion,
it was not fitting that au important commercial city

He was aware that the Right Hon. Gentleman could not
bring forward his motion for a Committee as a question
of privilege. It was his (Mr. Shaw's) wish to give the
Right Hon. Gentleman an opportunity of moving for
his Committee at the earliest possible opportunity by
moving that the writ be issued.—(Cries of " Move,
now")—he would not move now, but he hoped the House
would allow him to give notice for to•morrow.—(Cries
of " Move on Saturday.") He would give notice that
to-morrow night he should move for the issue of the
writ for a new election for Belfast.

Mr. O'CONNELL would move the appointment of
the Committee as an amendment to the motion of the
Right Honourable and Learned Gentleman.

RIOTS AT ENNIS.

Mr. O'CONNELL wished to ask the Right Hon.
Gentleman at the head of the Government if there
would he any objection to lay before the House
the evidence taken before the Coroner's inquest,
relating to the late unhappy and dreadtul occurrences
in Ennis—(Hear, hear)—and also the Report of the
Commission, who had been stated to have been sent
down to make inquiries into the circumstances attending
that dreadful occurrence.
Sir ROBERT PEEL said that immediately the Lord-
Lieutenant had been made acquainted with the la-
mentable occurrence, he had despatched a Queen's
Counsel to make the fullest inquiries, and to report
to the Government the result. That report had not yet
been received. Ile believed the Coroner's inquest had
returned a verdict which would subject certain parties to
a trial, and he trusted the House would, under those cir-
cumstances, see the propriety of not interfering.
Mr. O'CONNELL had given notice of his intention of
asking the question of the Noble Lord. He had understood
that 38policemenhad beencommitted for trial.and of course
he would not wish to do anything to prejudice them.
DISTRESS IN IRELAND.

The RIGHT HON. 'and LEARNED GENTLEMEN then
asked the Right Hon. Baronet whether be had received
any communication respecting the distress existing in
three of the provinces of Ireland. Even in the county
of Wicklow, which was close to Dublin, many persons
were in a state of starvation. He wished to know if any
relief had been transmitted by the Government to Ireland.
Sir R. PEEL hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman would
be satisfied with his assurance that the Government
were fully alive to the importance of the subject. He
thought it unadvisable to say more at present. Every
effort would be made to insure full justice being done.

which the proprietor has resided many years. It contains four
best bed chambers, two servants' ditto, two parlours, opening with
French windows to the lawn, hall, ante-room, large kitchen and
servants' hall, with all other necessary and convenient offices, well
supplied with water; a large and convenient farm-yard, with re-

the works of which are situate about one mile from the residence
at Thornhill, and will be found to be one of
THE MOST VALUABLE IN GREAT BRITAIN.

It combines a large district of country, with uninterrupted way
courses, an enormous body of coal entirely level dry. Eight work-
ing and air pits are already sunk, and railway communication estab-
lished with a good pert and floating dock, distant fourteen miles.
There are ten good working seams, from two feet to nine feet in
thickness, of the very best species of ANTHRACITE COAL, the
superiority of which fur making iron is now fully established. The
present state of this colliery is such that

THE ESTATE IS ALL FREEHOLD ;

THE MANSION AND GROUNDS ARE SO CLOSE
AS TO APPROXIMATE UPON MELKSHAM,

a market town of considerable repute in the vicinity of Devizes,
Bath, and Chippenham, surrounded for miles
BY ENTAILED PROPERTIES THAT CAN HARDLY
EVER COME INTO THE MARKET,
with a railway station within four miles; thus
THE DISTANCE FROM LONDON IS EVERY DAY COM.

PLETED IN LESS THAN FOUR HOURS.
The mansion, called the Grove, is a building of the old school ;
the offices are commensurate; the house is not too large, but it
would be improved by a little good taste in decoration. It is
,eated on a beautiful lawn, amid the splendid foliage of fulLgrown
timber and plantations.
The gardens are abundant, and it possesses

THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT OF FISHING
IN THE RIVER AVON.

Its contiguity to Bath and the large intermediate towns, and a
vicinity as highly famed for respectability as any in England ;
and the Wilts and Berks Canal intersects the land. It will now
become necessary to recur to a most important feature in this
sale. It includes

THE CELEBRATED MELKSHAM SPA,
which Is surrounded by about 100 acres of land, admirably
adapted for a building speculation on a large scale, and which in
the hands of an enterprising proprietor, might shortly become a
formidable rival to watering places of a similar character already
established. Also

SEVERAL, FREEHOLD DAIRY FARMS,
that seem to stand alone for their superior quality ; there is no-
thing in the vicinity that will aspire to a comparison; the quality
of the soil is proverbially first-rate—it is, in fact, unsurpassable.

IT IS EXEMPT FROM LAND TAX,

and the tithes are commuted at a very low rent ; it extends to
THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FIVE ACRES,

bounded and occasionally refreshed by the Avon, four miles from

THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY,
seven tulles from Chippenham and Devizes, and about ten from
Bath. THE WOODLAND SCENERY

of the neighbourhood gives a very imposing feature to the pro-
perty ; it is altogether an investment free from any alloy, and not
surpassable anywhere.
It can be viewed by particulars, which may be had at the Grove
Mansion ; also at the King's Arms, Melksham; the best Inns at
Devizes and Chippenham ; White Hart, Bath; of Messrs. Bick-
nell, Roberts, Finch, and Neate, Solicitors, Lincoln's Inn-fields;

and in Covent-garden.

THE FARM YARD,

on a petite scale, is everything that can be wished for; all the
buildings famous ; and close by are two additional slips of garden
for potatoes and vegetables. By the way it has been omitted to
state there is
A CAPITAL KITCHEN GARDEN,

plentifully stocked, enclosed by lofty walls, and a prolific orchard
h= rd by, that gives promise of lOU bushels of apples and pears this
season.

THE LODGE ENTREE

is of pretty design, and the drive to this little abode of comfort is
through the luxuriant grounds.

SHENFIELD CHURCH
(a pretty object) is only I Miles off, with three pews for the family.
THE RIGHTS ARE UNRESTRICTED OVER THE
COMMONS IN SHENFIELD PARISH.

Connected with this valuable Purchase, there is yet in store
another feature,
A DOMAIN OF SIXTY ACRES OF RICH PARK-LIKE

LAND WITH SOME AND FAMOUS ARABLE;
the latter growing at this momet 6 quarters of Wheat per acre,
and the soil is congenial for all the purpose of Agriculture. In
fine, It would be difficult considering its limited extent) to find a
more enviable purchase throughout the favoured county of Berks.

IPSWICH.

A rather equivocal set of yellows were examined yesterday. A
kind of bribery commission-agent, named Thurston, acknow-
ledged that he had received 1/. each from Browne and,others as
a per centage for the money they got through him for voting for
Rennie and NiTason.

Brown swore that Thurston promised him 201. if he voted for
the yellows. He voted accordingly for Rennie and Wason, and
then Mr. Sampson banded him 201. at the King's Head.
Joseph Keas said he was promised 51. by Mr. Sampson to
vote for the yellows. He gave the rote, and got the money.
Being cross-examined, witness acknowledged that he had
bellied himself on one occasion to his employer's money.
The Committee, who had been some time in deliberation on
the evidence of Thurston, ordered him to be taken into cus-
tody for prevarication; and he is now in hustody.
limes Goldsmith was canvassed by Mr. Buckingham on the
day of the election to vote for Rennie and Wason. He hesi-
tated. What do you want, says Mr. Buckingham?
25/. said witness. Mr. Buckingham shook his head,
and went to consult the Committee, and came back with a
Mr. Smith. The three gentlemen had a shurt dialogue,
the result of which was, that Mr. Goldsmith was driven
in a chaise to the poll, where he voted for Rennie and Wagon ;
after which he went home, and his mother handed him 20/. Mr.
Goldsmith, on cross-examination, recollected that he was for-
merly employed by Mr. Bond, in whose name, but without whose
authority he obtained some leather. Mrs. Goldsmith, the mo-
ther of Mr. Goldsmith, was examined and cross-examined.
The old lady said she remembered giving her son 201. for his
vote ; she also could not deny that her daughter-in-law was
prosecuted at the last Sessions for robbing Mr. Buckingham,
for which she got four months.
The foregoing is a specimen of the day's proceedings. The
Committee made a resolution not to receive the fact of a mere
tender of a bribe as evidence.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sza,—Allow me to suggest, through the medium of your
if properly acted upon, may
importance to the Reform in.
terest. It is simply as follows :---That every person paying his
portion of tax upon 1501. or more, under Sir Robert Peel's
pheallreearite what,r pro ve in
of considerable
probability,
Bill, ought to be entitled to a vote for the county or division
of the county in which he resides, the same as the 501. tenants
at will voters under the Chandos clause. Surely the man, who
by his abilities and attention to business can earn 1501. per
annum, and who is eo:npelled to pay a tax for merely exer-
cising his praiseworthy talent, and necessary enterprise and
exertion, has an equal stake in the country, an i is as fully com-
petent to exercise the elective power, as the mere occupant of
a farm or a hou-e of to. per annum value.—Yours truly,

THE FRENCH POST-OFFICE.

We find the following in the National :—.
" if M. Humann meets with insurmountable difficulties in
finding a successor to M. Conte, he ought not to be igno-
rant that he has in his power the means of putting a check
to the scandalous and arbitrary conduct of that gentleman,
and that it is his duty to make use of them, following up in
so doing the work commenced by M. Passy. Is not the
Post-office department in the attributions of the Minister of
Finance, and cannot the Minister issue an order to establish
the rights of the employes in the Post-office in Paris, as his
predecessor did to fix those of the employes in the depar-
mental Post-offices, by the order of Oct. 12, 1839 ? We have
not the slightest clout), that if the council of the Post-office
were called on to deliberate on the promotion and nomina-
tions of the central admiwistration; we should not behold the
scandalous abuses which are perpetually occurring in the
Paris Post-office. We shall at present cite one instanceout of
a hundred. Al. Conte proposed, some short time siaee, his
youngest son, only two years chef de bureau, and (eight years in
the Post-office department, for the place of inspector of mail-
packets, with a salary of 6,000 f, and 2,000 f. travelling ex-
penses. His appointment, which rests with the Minister of
Finance, not having been made so quickly as M. Conte desired,
he took 1,500 f. for his son from 7,000 f. a year, falling in by
the death of a chef de bureau, and had the impudence to give
an increase of only 100 f. each to ten sub-chefs de bureau, who
had been in the service for fifteen, twenty, and twenty-five
years. This is what M. Conte understands by distributive
justice. Here we have a young man who, a few days ago,
had 300 now, by means of paternal solici-
tude,isntl. a ar,
the enju)ment3e
of a salary of 5,000 f. There
is in this last act of nepotism and favouritism an
injustice the more scandalous, that, by following the
least rigorous principles of justice, there were to be first de-
ducted from the disposable funds 2,400 f. on one side, and
I,ooof. on the other, for salafies to two clerks, who have for a
length of time, and by the omnipotence of M. Conte, been
employed in the sous-directions administratives, although
forming part of the sous-direction active, and paid frost its
funds. It is true, that if justice had been satisfied, M. Conte
would not have been so. But, we ask, is this the way in
which an office should be directed? is it merely for the satis-
faction of M. Conte and his family that there is in France a
Post-office department? What does the Minister of Finance
think of these thugs ? We ask him whether, if he is unable to
exercise full authority in this department, he cannot have an
inquiry, instituted, and call to account the party responsible for
what has taken place in the management of the Post-office,
since M. Conte had been at the head of it?

ARRIVAL '3F THE COLUMBIA.-LATER FROM
THE UNITED STATES.
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING.

We have received by the Columbia, Captain Judkins,
arrived at this port, this morning early, New York
papers to the 31st, and Boston to the Ist, her day of
sailing. She left Halifax on the 4th.
The Columbia was longer on her voyage out than
usual, having experienced very rough weather ; and in
a squall on the 18th, she broke her paddle-shaft when
in lat. 44.33, lon. 54.04, and having to use canvass for
the rest of the voyage, reached Halifax on the 25th,
after a voyage of 20 days 15 hours. She did not pro-
ceed to Boston, but her mails were forwarded by the
Unicorn. There was no opportunity of prorbial;
pairing the damage during her stay ab Halifax, but
her commaflder Capt. Judking, old not hesitate to take
her to sea again with only one paddle in action, in
which state she started from Halifax on the 4th, and
has made the voyage under this great disadvantage in
15i days. In consequence of her late arrival out, and
the damage she had sustained, few passengers went to
Boston to meet her, presuming that the packet of the
Ist, from New York, would anticipate her.
The IVarspite, 46 days from England, with Lord Ash-
burton on board, was telegraphed as below New York on
Friday, at 5 o'clock, P.M. She sailed from Portsmouth
