perfectly retired.

_LTA_ Noble Marquis to SELL by PUBLIC COMPETITION,
at the Auction Mart, on WEDNESDAY, June. 1, at Twelve,
THE ADMIRED SUBURBAN VILLA
OF THE MARQUIS OF BUTE,
at Campden.hill, a mile only from the metropolis, a chosen spot
amid quietude and repose for the select few who have been so for..
tunate as to possess one of these chateaus. Within the clustre, this
stands conspicuous.

THE MXRCHIONESS OF BUTE
devoted very much of her time, so that it necessarily partakes of
the superior taste for which she was greatly distinguished. It was
originally a Villa in its literal sense, but the noble owner has
given to it a more imposing character, by an outlay of "many
thousand pounds" in constituting it one of

THE MOST RECHERCHE IN LONDON'S ENVIRONS;
there is capability• to accommodate a family of rank, aided b) a
profusion of comforts whichare generally estranged from modern
buildings ; and the offices are most perfect—and this be it remem-
bered (and much more may be added) is within a quarter of an
hour's drive of

THg HOUSE OF LORDS AND COMMONS.
It has already been said it abounds with family comfort; it is so
judiciously planned that the grand suite of apartments are all in
communication with the long gallery verandah, which overlooks
and extends by a flight of stone steps to the beautiful lawn, where
the cypress and the weeping willow are contrasted with a little army
of American plants and flowering shrubs without end; in. the
'centre ca'ilfisbeaUteous scene ig - •

THE LITTLE PARK 'PADDOCK,
and around it is the, plantatien walk. The villa is adorned by
A CONSERVATORY AND HOTHOUSE,
the melon and cucumber grounds are a little removed in company
with the fish . pond; the kitchen garden is on the opposite side,
only separated by the road, and there is an additional paddock for
two more ccws connected with it; the courtyard is so complete
that it would be difficult to discover a single want; in fact, it is
altogether one of the most eligible villas in the market.

It can only be viewed by particulars, to be had of Messrs. Roy,
Blunt, Johnston, and Walton, Solicitors, Lothbury ; the Auction
Mart; and in Covent.garden.

The celebrated MODEL of the TAGE MUHAL, a splendid and
unique Work of Art, executed in Ivory, from the original,
erected for the Great Mogul. ,

MR. GEORGE ROBINS respectfully announces
to all those who patronise and admire the fine arts, that he
is directed by the Proprietor to SELL by PUBLIC AUCTION, at
the Cosmorama Rooms, 209, Regent-street, where it is exhibiting,
on MONDAY, May 30, at Three for Four most punctually, a
Splendid and 'Elaborate MODEL, from one of the most remark-
able edifices in Agra, or Fourth Presidency of 'lndia, erected in
1650, by

THE FIFTH GREAT MOGUL, AS
A CEMETERY FOR HIS BELOVED WIFE.
It is a subject of no small difficulty to give a faint idea of
THIS WONDERFUL WORK OF ART

in the accustomed limit of an advertisemenr. A very short ana-
lysis will, it is believed, awaken the attention of all those who
know how to appreciate such a matchleis display of ingenuity, and
incline them to seek, by ocular demonstration, a confirmation fat
exceeding the impression this imperfeit representation may have
elicited. It should be remarked that the original from which

THIS SPLENDID MODEL OF THE • MAUSOLEUM
IS FORMED ENTIRELY OF WHITE MARBLE,
and some idea may be imagined of its extraordinary magnificence
by the simple fact that the original cost in its completion
SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS.

It is raised on an elevated terrace of white and yellow marble;
having at its angles four lofty minarets of the same material. The
centre hall is the size of the Ratcliffe Library. Enclosed within is
a carved screen of elaborate tracery, and the tombs of the Great
Mogul and his beloved wife. The ivory model of this paragon of
beauty, the subject of this announcement, occupies a space of nine
square feet, and is six feet high. The walls, the tombs, and the
screens, arc covered with representations of flower's and inscrip.
tions, execnted in mosaic, lapis lazuli, and jasper,-by different
coloured ivories. It is the work of Indian artists, and probably Is
the chef d'oeuvre and the greatest effort in Indian ivory working.
It is not the hasty produce of a day, but the result of many years
of patient application. The windows are carved in lattices, and
the pavement it in alternate squares of white, or, as it is termed in
England," Sienna marble and around the hall arc various apart-
ments and corridors. It is the writer's ardent desire, and a con-
summation devoutlY to be wished, that it should be placed in

THE ARCHIVES OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM,
as an imperishable fecord of the perseverance and talent of our
Indian subjects, and the model of a real building now extant ;
consequently it can no where find so worthy and appropriate a
resting.place as the classic depository already alluded to.— A mote
minute description is ready at the Exhibition Rooms, 209, Regen .
street, and in Covent garden.
