A singularly IMPORTANT FREEHOLD ESTATE, pre-

s of the olden times, and certainly not the prominent feature.
A good opportunity is, however, presented to display a little
taste in contradistinction to former times, and the situation is so
lovely as not to be resisted. The Gardens very luxuriant. The
Farms are not large—but unusually compact. The Land Is or
the best quality throughout, in excellent condition, and all con.
vertible ; for wheat or turnips it is equally congenial, and the
meadow and pasture is of the best quality. From this it may to
inferred tha tenants pay their moderate rents with alacrity; indeed
the word arrear is quite out of fashion at Nantclwyd. All tte
farms are occupied ; the extent is
NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY-TWO ACRES,
and the present low Rental is
TWO THOUSAND AND TWENTY-SIX POUNDS A-YEAR.
*The Estate is in the most picturesque part of the county, on
THE GREAT ROAD TO HOLYHEAD,

with the Mail passing through the grounds. The P;antations :n
this property are judiciously placed, so as to be exceedingly orna-
mental. They are very extensive. in a thriving state, and hold out
very encouraging prospective views to increase the present in, wile.

quantities ; it is also well watered, and is within easy reach of

THE WIIA.TILEIt IN PARlS.—During the whole of
Thursday the heat was excessive, the air being sultry
almost to suffocation. M. Chevalier's thermometer, at
six o'clock, was at 20 2-10 of the centrigade scale, or 68i
Fahrenreit ;by mid-day it got up to 33 C., or 911 F. 5
and by two, it was at 34 5-10 C., or 941 F. Toward
the evening, heavy clouds were seen gathering on the
south-western horizon, portending a corning storm.
About half-past nine o'clock; a very heavy whirlwind
arose, and the dust in the Champs Elysees awl on the
Boulevards was driven about in such clouds as to render
objects around almost invisible. At a quarter to ten the
storm burst, the rain fell heavily, the lightning and
thunder was very vio!ent. The storm was not of long
duration, as, at half-past ten, the stars again shone
forth, and the air was refreshingly cool.

WONDERFUL FILTRATION.

An invention has been recently brought forward,
which is calculated to have a vast beneficial effect in
filtering, and so purifying all the water for domestic
and other purposes in the kingdom. Lord Brougham,
with many other eminent sarans, has been surprised
and delighted at the eacts produced. A machine
only five feet square has been made to filter the
enormous quantity of two millions five hundred
thousand gallons every twenty-four hours ; and that,
too, so thoroughly and effectually, that water charged
withl mud, animalculac, and decomposed vegetable
matter has been produced as bright and pure, and
sweet, as it originally issued from the spring. The
merit of this most useful and valuable invention be-
longs to a Russian merchant of the name of Stuckey,
and the water filtered by it has been examined and
certified by Professor Phillips, tin eminent chemist.

Currant-tea, says a German Journal, has been ex-
tensively used in Russia fur some years back, being con-
sidered slightly sudorific and anti-febrile. It is agree-
able to the taste, and is made in the following manner :
—Red or white currants are placed to dry—the red have
usually the preference—on sheets cf paper, in an oven
slightly heated, or in the furnace of a kitchen, from
which the great heat has departed. A small quantity of
the currants thus dried is infused, as is done in common
ten-making, and the water is allowed to stand for some
time. This liquor is said to be good for the gout.
The Grafton Estate in Gloucestershire, announced
in our columns to-day, has drawn largely upon Mr.

HALL'S IRELAND. Part XI.
Bow and Parsons, London, 1842.

The Part before us of this popular work contains a
picturesque view of the town of Belfast, with the bold
range of mountain headlands in its immediate neigh-
bourhood : and a map of the counties of Londonderry
and Antrim, in which that noble sheet of water, Loch
Neagh, forms the most conspicuous object. Mrs.
Hall s description of this inland sea, though brief, is
spirited and graphic. " Its scenery," she tells us,
" is beautiful and interesting, and the lake becomes
truly magnificent when influenced by storms, its
waves rolling and foaming, like those of the ocean in
a tempest ; in the immediate neighbourhood of An-
trim town, it may vie, in parts, with the fairest of the
southern lakes, while it possesses a grandeur exclu-
sively its own." Loch Neagh is the largest sheet of
fresh water in Great Britain, and is exceeded in size
by few in Europe. It is almost twenty miles in
lengths about twelve miles in breadth, eighty miles in
circumference, and its greatest depth in the middle is
forty-five feet. Besides several other interesting local
matters, the present Part furnishes us with some sin-
gular details respecting that well-known old Irish
superstition, the Banshee.

the Italian and Flemish Gallery, Pall-mall. It repre-
sents the Golden Age, and consists of several striking
groups of figures, some reposing indolently on the
ground, and some standing, engaged in conversation ;
and all stationed in the foreground of a most pic-
turesque landscape, whose colouring is wonderfully
rich and fresh. To the left of the spectator, in one
corner of the picture, is the figure of a female, the
flesh tints orwhich are defined with all the grace and
beauty of a Correggio. The most remarkable peculi-
arity of this painting is the sunny, cheerful character
which pervades all its details. It is an excellent spe-
cimen of the old Italian school, and, considering its
age, is in an extraordinary state of preservation. We
understand that it was for some years in the posses-
sion of the late Sir Thomas Lawrence, with whom it
was a great favourite.

COMMISSION OF INQUIRV.—We hear it stated that
Ministers are disposed to institute a Commission to in-
quire into the prevailing distress in the manufacturing
districts of the country. arid in that way to liberate Par-
liament at an early period from the labours of the session,
without detaining the Noble Lords and Honourable and
Right Honourable Gentlemen to inquire how the mer-
chants are to keep open their warehouses, the manufac-
ttirers their mills; the shopkeepers their • shops, and the
working people their houses, till Parliament re-assembles.

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 sufficiently com.
modious for a •ei y large family—it claims only to be congenial to the
wants and wishes of a retiring merchant, or a family of quiet man-
ners, who may repose here in a situation of great beauty wills
multiplied advantages, and every comfort they can desire; the
offices are all suitable, and there is a warm sheltered farm yard
close at hand : and with this lot about
SEVENTY 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.

A STONE GALLERY AND BALCONY,

so beautifully constructed as to be the great feature OR the road.
The columns are of iron, and the order is Corinthian. It is ap.
Froached by a noble flight of steps. The Lawn is resplendent in
every thing that is recherche in the Botanical world, with full grown
timber in Limes, and Chesnuts studded about in pleasing negli.
genre, with Plants and Flowering Shrubs without any apparent
termination. But it will he well first to return to the habitation.

IT IS QUITE AN ITALIAN VILLA,
and in the best taste imaginable, with the additional advantage that
substantiality in the ere,.tion is conspicuous every where. The
wads seem to claim relationship with perpetuity, and as it re_
gards convenience and into nal comfort, it cannot be exceeded.
All the Rooms are lofty, and consequently very airy, of excellent
proportions, and the Bed-room Department not to be exceeded.
THE GRAND SUITE OF ROOMS
arc adap.ed to a first-rate family; or, by the way, at this interesting
moment of doubt, while the Elective Franchise of Reading is in
abeyance, if a gentleman of fortune and characterbe tempted into
this enviable purchase, there is no good reason why he may not
count upon adding M.P. to his present honours. The cellars are
famous, and it. only needs to let hospitality be placed conspicuously
at Grazely to accomplish this great event. Sociality and respec-
tability preside in this vicinity. But to return to this little his•.
tory. The residence, it has been observed, is quite perfect ; the
subordinate offices are in excellent keeping, and a kitchen fit fur
the chef of the representative of Reading. In the court-yard are
two stables with eight stalls, two coach-houses for six carriages,
depository over for hay and straw, and coachman's room.
THE FARM YARD,
on a petite scale, is everything that can be wished for; all the
buildings are famous; and close by are two additional slips of garden
for potatoes and vegetables. By the way it has been omitted to

In the House of Lords last night the Duke of Rich-
mond inquired whether another attempt had been made
on her Majesty's life, and the Earl of Aberdeen said he
could make no statement, as the subject was under in-
vestigation.
Lord Brougham adverted to charging the.lncome-tax

ment, and the Earl of Ripon said he would inquire
whether it is to be the case or not. Their Lordships
then adjourned.

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 ass invest.
ment 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, wi'l turn out a most beneficial ►pecula-
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.endowed Free
Grammar School, the possessor of this estate and of the. different
lots, may partake of this great advantage in an eminent degree.
The plan, with a sketch of the Villa and Park, are ready, and
may be had of Messrs. Few, Hamilton, and Few, Solicitors, 2,

There are two clever sporting engravings in this

HALL'S IRELAND. Part XXI.
How and Parsons, London, 1842.

The Part before us of this popular work contains a
picturesque view of the town of Belfast, with the bold
range of mountain headlands in its immediate neigh-
bourhood : and a map of the counties of Londonderry
and Antrim, in which that noble sheet of water, Loch
Neagh, forms the most conspicuous object. . Airs.
Hall's description of this inland sea, though brief, is
spirited and graphic. " Its scenery," she tells us,
" is beautiful and interesting, and the lake becomes
truly magnificent when influenced by storms, its
waves rolling and foaming, like those of the ocean in
a tempest ; in the immediate neighbourhood of An-
trim town, it may vie, in parts, with the fairest of the
southern lakes, while it
2ossesses a grandeur exclu-
sively its own." Loch l• eagh is the largest sheet of
fresh water in Great Britain, and is exceeded in size
by few in Europe. It is almost twenty miles. in
!ength, about twelve miles in breadth, eighty miles in
circumference, and its greatest deuth in the middle is
forty-five feet. Besides several other interesting local
matters, the present Part furnishes us with some sin-
gular details respecting that well-known old Irish
superstition, the Banshee.

and only three miles from the kennel ; it has been recently occu.

The property has long acquired a considerable tame in ita out*
vicinity. It is one of the most compact and eligible properties
within the county.

THE CASTLE HAS BEEN COMPLETED BY MR LUGAR
an artist possessing a perfect knowledge of
GOTHIC ARCHITEC CURE.
It is adorned by cas'ellatei towers, full of accommodation, and
quite competent to everything a respectable family can desire. The
lodge en ranee is vis-a.vis the park entree, and they both display
great taste. The castle is quite embosonaed by the full.grown plan.
tations and park walks extending to the river, which, for more than
a mite, is a boundary to the'estate ; and
THE EXCLUSIVE FISHING IN THIS RIVER
to a great extent is among the many agremens appertaining to this
desirable investment. There are

cr,nnected with it, close by, within a ring fence, and around tb,

stantly made fat upon it.

FIVE HUNDRED AND SIX ACRES

of first-rate Land, and no Tithe, including Plantations enough to
diversify and improve the picture; the country around it present-

Devonshire. The tenantry have never had leases, and from their
high respectability and good management, have been so fortunate
as to continue, a very long period, at an inadequate rent of 8001.
a-year. The time has arrived when, without doing them wrong,
the rental may be increased to
ONE THOUSAND POUNDS CLEAR PER ANNUM.

And amongst the agremens connected with Grafton, it being with.
out the annoyance of an overgrown house upon it, is one of some
import To conclude, it may be well to observe, that the rents are
paid most punctually ; and Lavater has marked conspicuously on
their countenances that the word abatement never entered into
their imagination,

ligent occupants. Particulars, and a plan, may be had at the

THE BEAUTIFUL AMERICAN GARDEN

appears in all its glory, clothed with a little army of rhododendrons
(now in full bloom), with an infinity of everything recherche in
the botanical world—it is, in fact, in miniature.
THE HORTICULTURAL GARDEN, OF HANTS.

The grounds extend half•a-mile in circumferenee, adorned by beds
of flowers throughout.
A LOVELY STREAMLET

progresses through the centre, and amid the forest of trees is heard
the meandering over the rugged surface, with a cascade to increase
the effect, until all is lost in silent stillness. Zimmerman in this
spot would have dwelt in never-ending delight. Prolific woods are
everywhere seen in great luxuriance, forming a belt, and vis.a.vis is

THE AMPHITHEATRE OF HILLS,
which adorn the opposite side, designated

THE FAMED ASHFORD WOODS,

whose beauty and renown have extended far and wide. They have
been contending for the rivalry. The kitchen garden, encompassed
by a wall 14 feet high, is prolific in everything essential to a fa.
wily. It has been remarked, that within the domicile is associated
everything that can conduce to comfort, and the offices within and
without, including six-stall stable and double coach house, are alto.
gether in strict accordance, and necessarily very perfect.

THE ESTATE EXTENDS ALTOGETHER TO
THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY ACRES

of very excellent land, the whole of which is convertible, including
some capital meadows and arable land, with five quarters of wheat
and six quarters of barley now demonstrating the quality of the soil.
THE FLEXCOMB FARM ADJOINING
is 134 acres, a snug dairy farm, the land adapted to fatten bullocks
(this will form a separate lot); there are two farre.houses well
placed, and suitable buildings; the whole may be estimated mode-
rately at

INDIA AND CHINA.

Ample details of the highly important news received
yesterday from India and China, will be found in an-
other part of The Sun. We shall here content cur-
selves with some observations upon the leading points.
The news from Bombay usually extends over a month,
but in consequence of the detention of the previous
mail to the 3d of May, and the sailing of the present
one on the 23d of that month, in order to escape the
first burst of the monsoon, the intelligence now extends
over a period of twenty days. Upon the whole, how-
ever, the news is exceedingly satisfactory and important.
The tranquillity which has so long reigned in the Bri-
tish dominions in the East remains undisturbed, not-
withstanding the reasonable fears entertained of the con-
trary, on account of the recent reverses in Affghanista'i.
In that country our arms are again successful. Major-
General PoLLoca, had safely effected a junction with
the heroic General SALE at Jellalabad, after forcing the
Khyber Pass. They were both preparing to march
upon Caubul, to take vengeance AU' the murder of the
Envoy, and the treacherous massacre of our troops.
General ENGLAND, having received positive orders from
General 'COTT to join him with his forces at Canclahar,
marched from Quettah, whither he had retreated, and
forced the Pass in gallant st)le, without the loss of a
single man. Colonel BOLTON'S brigade had arrived at
