the distinguished FREEHOLD ESTATE, tne of the
MOST SPLENDID IN LONDON,
both within and without; in tact it is a contemporaneous palace
with, or it may be denominated

CROCKFORD'S IN MINIATURE.
It was erected ley the Messrs. Bond a few years since in a magni.
ficent manner, regardless of expence, as

A FASHIONABLE OPPOSITION SUBSCRIPTION HOUSE,
It is adorned throughout by French windows. The interior is
completed in a style that must be seen, or it canmot be apprec;ated.
THE SPLENDID GRAND SUITE,
au premier, can hardly be exceeded either in its taste or magni-
ficence. The ceilings are one uninterrupted continuation of
IMMENSE PLATES OF GLASS,
reflecting everywhere the splendour that adorns
THE INTERIOR OF THIS FAIRY LAND.
There are altogether ten bedchambers, two morning rooms, inde-
pendent of the great suite, capital dining parlours, and a cui,ine
and larder below, worthy of Monsieur Ude, with all sorts of ap-
pendages essential to family comfort, and cellaring worthy of an
Emperor. THIS FREEHOLD GROUND RENT
OF THREE HUNDRED POUNDS A.YEAR,
is secured for a term, of which lerty.four years are yet unexpired.
It was entirely re-built a few years sine: at a cost which may be
estimated at near

" TEN THOUSAND POUNDS."
It is under lease to Messrs. Bond, for a petiod which will be deter.
mined in thirteen years, at a very
INADEQUATE RENT OF SIX HUNDRED POUNDS
. _

A-YEAR, -
and at the end of the term in for4-fotir years, the purchaser will
be entitled to tie increased rent. As an investment, it appears
esp:cially adapted to those who look for Ward to an adequate pro-
vision for their children, for he must be sceptical over much who
can doubt that St.*Janes!,;.stsektifittript maintain its proud sL.p,ri.
