IN THE ISLE OF WIGHT,

Elfecially addressed to the MEMBERS of the YACHT CLUE,
an ELEGANT NIARINE VILLA, recognised for many a
long year as the favourite ABODE of LORD SPENCER ; the
PLEASURE GROUNDS, extending to ELEVEN ACRES,
disposed in unquestionable taste.
TI. GEORGE ROBINS has the honour to an-
flounce, that he has been directed to SELL by PUBLIC
COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, on THURSDAY, the 30th
of .tune, at Twelve,
THE UNIVERSALLY-ADMIRED
MARINE VILLA,

for many a long year the
FAVOURED ABODE OF THE LATE EARL SPENCER,
which has claimed to be distinguished from all Contemporaries as
THE PET PLACE OF THE ISLAND.

It may be well to state, for the information only of those who have
not had the good fortune to visit.

that the late Lord, in the selection of the site upon which this

moved, and the grounds so beautifully elevated for this especial
purpose, that it never dreads an unfriendly visit from the great
waters. There is a
FINE BOLD TERRACE WALK,
identified
OF GREAT EXTENT, PARALLEL WITH THE SEA;
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.
ing to more than 11 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.

legitimate wants of a family of pretensions, and the best rooms are
of suitable proportions. A Nobleman, or
A MEMBER OF VIEYACHT 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,
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
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
lard view to an extent without limit. To conclude, it may with
gr., at truth be affirmed, it can have nofear of a rival throughout the
island.
It can only be viewed by tickets, from twelve till four, to be had
of Mr. George Robins, Covent-garden.
