THE LODGE ENTREE

is of pretty design, and the drive to this little abode of comfort is
through the luxuriant grounds.

SHENFIELD CHURCH

the family.

Connected with this valuable Purchase, there is yet in store
another feature,
A DOMAIN OF SIXTY ACRES OF RICH PARK-LIKE
LAND, WITH SOME FAMOUS ARABLE;
the latter growing at this moment 6 quarters of Wheat per acre,
and the soil is congenial for all the purposes of Agriculture. In
fine, it would be difficult considering its limited extent) to find
a more enviable purchase throughout the favoured county of
Berke.

Auction Mart; and at Mr. Robins' Offices, London.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the pleasure
announce that he is directed to offer to PUBLIC AUC-
TION, at the Mart, London, on THURSDAY Nexr, 21st July, at
Twelve o'Clock, in One Lot, an
ESTATE OF CONSIDERABLE IMPORTANCE,
nd one that may be assimilated to a FREEHOLD TENURE,
inasmuch as it is entirely

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 mcst delightful, and, at the
same time, convenient in respect to their daily labours. It is no

longer a matter of doubt that it stands conspicuous for its superio-
rity to any other easy remove from London, Society can he se.
cured to any extent, or avoided without difficulty. It may be ob.
served the outward form of
THIS ELEGANT ITALIAN VILLA

does not give promise of the consequence that a closer investiga.
tion will render manifest. It is almost too modest and unprc_

tending for the delight and comfort that prevails within. It is
quite equal in every respect to accommodate most perfectly the
family of a merchant of high standing—indeed, in going over it.
the composer 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 keening with the
whole. This delightful abode does not belong to the class of modern
buildings, for beside everything the most fastidious 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 picture. The gal-
leries and balcony are not of common place; they are, indeed,
alike, 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 at its own, is that although within
half an hour's drive of the scat of daily profit, there is a
quietude--a sort of repose, throughout the grounds, !hat seems to
estrange London from this locality. The grounds are of consi-
derable extent and loveliness, in which everything that can heighten
their natural claims has been achieved. American plants are in
every corner, the cedars of Lebanon feathering to the ground, and
the Portugal laurels, (some of them eighty feet around), the arbor
vitae, and a little army of Rhododendums, seem all to aspire to aid
in this scene of delight and with

A BEAUTIFUL CONSERVATORY, PINERY, AND
GRAPERY,
seem to leave nothing for the most fastidious to desire. There
are two Kitchen Gardens; and at the extremity of the first Pad-
dock is a second Lawn of great beauty, with an almost superabund-
ance of shrubs and flowers, with ornamental Summer Houses;
then the strawberry and vegetable gardens, with fruit trees well
selected; at the termination of the whole is the Gardner's abode.
