ON CHAMPION HILL.

One of the PILLARS of that ADMIRED VLINITY to the
GREAT METROPOLIS, with EXTENSIVE LAWN
PLEASURE GROUND, and PADDOCKS, extending, to near
FIFTEEN ACRES, all in a RING FENCE, and in moat per-
f, et order.

'/ R. GEORGE ROBINS has the pleasure t 3
announce that he is directed to:offer to PUBLIC AUC-
TION, at the Mart, London, on THU2SDAY, 21st July, at Twelve
o'clock, in Ono Lot, an

ESTATE OF CONSIDERABLE IMPORTANCE,
nd one that may be assimilated to a FREEHOLD TENURE,
inasmuch as it is entirely
EXE.',IPT FROM ANY GROUND RENT,
save only for the accommodation meadows. It consists of

ONE OF THE ADMIRED SUBURBAN VILLAS
ON CHAMPION HILL PRIVATE ROAD,

a remove of three short miles from the Royal Exchange, sur-
rounded by a little host of Bankers and rich Merchants, who have
in clusters selected this spot as the sliest delightful, and, at the
sante time, convenient in respect to their drill) labours. It is no
longer a matter of doubt that It stands conspicuous for its superio.

cured to any extent, or avoided without difficulty. It may be ob-

THIS ELEGANT ITALIAN VILLA
does not give promise of the consequence that a closer inve,tiga-
tion will render manifest. It is almost too modest and unpre.

quite t qual in every respect to accommodate most perfectly the
family of a rneichant of high standing—indeed, hi going over it.
the co:npoeer of this sketch tried how, by ingenuity, it could be
rendered more conducive to comfort, but he essayed in vain; and
the offices, from beginning to end, are in thorough leeelelng with the
whole. This delightful abOde does not belong to the class of modern
buildings, for beside everything the most faitidious mind can suggest,
there is a solidity that has recently been too much out of fashion.
The view from the extended lawn is quite a picttire. The gal-
leries and balcony are not of common place; they are, indeed,
useful and ornamental, partaking of views that are not
merely of considerable extent, but include a landscape, that is one
of incomparable beauty. One of the great delights that Champion
Hill especially claims as its own, is that although within
half an hour'e drive of the seat of daily prott, there Is a
quietude--a sort of repose, throughout the grounds, 'hat seems to
estrange London from this locality. The grounds are or consi-
derable extent and loveliness, in which everything that can heighten
their natural claims has been achieved. American plants are in
every corner, the cer'ars of Lebanon feathering to the ground, and
the Portuwil laurels, (some of them eighty feet around), the arbor
vitae, and a little army of Rhododendems, seem all to aspire to aid
in this scene of delight and with
