11. GEORGE ROBINS has great satis-
-v-s- faction in announcing that he is directed fo SELL
by AUCTION in' the month of Arm, in One Lot, at
the Auction Mart, London, a singularly advantageous In-
vestment for Capital, comprehending - •
THE COTON MANSION AND ESTATE,
THE ADVOWSON OF ALVELEY,

AND 1,560 ACRES OF EXCELLENT LAND,
TYTHE FREE,
AND IN A RING FENCE,
very desirably situate .on the borders of Shropshire, the
Turnpike Road from
BATH THROUGH WORCESTER

to SHREWSBURY and HOLYHEAD ple,inir through
the ProPerty. There are en many and such self-evident
advantages connected with this Investment, thlt a few
of the more prominent will exhaust the usual limit of-a
advertisement. There are
FOUR MANORS,

EXTENDING OVER THE WHOLE PARISH,
OF 6,000 ACRES,

which has an immensity of Game upon it, independently
Of ROYALTIES, LIERIOTS, CHIEF RENTS, AND APPURTE-
NANCES. The Residence is of modern structure, ADAPTED
TO A FAMILY OF GREAT RESPECTABILITY, built of. Fre-
estone, at an expense exceeding 12,0001. It is delightfully
situate, and environed by PLasure Grounds and Plantations,
laid out in good taste, and prcritink A PARR-LIKE AP-
PEARANCE. The Kitchen-gardens are extensive and en-
compassed by lofty walls ; the Offices connected with the
Residence are very commodious and good. The FARM-
HOUSES ARE EXCELLENT, the Agricultural Buildings of the
heat description, and the Tenantry highly respectable. The

WOODS ABOUND WITH PHEASANTS.
There is Gravel and Freestone upon the Estate, and it is
hardly doubtful that
COAL AND IRON

may be in:le:led in the long list of inviting properties con-
nected with the Estate. The Markets in the vicinity are
good, and the river Severn apprcximating upon the Coten
Property, gives additional facility to the export of the pro-
duce to distant markets. There are Corn and Water Mills,
and the INN ON THE ROAD MIDWAY BETWEEN BRIDGE-.
NORTH AND KIDDERMINSTER is an additional feature.
Indeed it would be very difficult to suggest so satisfactory
an Investment, in a County proverbial for all the advan-
tages the most favoured can aspire to.
THE YEARLY VALUE IS X 2,700.

Printed Particulars will be ready Twenty-eiiht Days
prior to the Sale (with Lithographic Plans attached to
each), at the principal Inns at Worcester, Kidderminster,

HISTORICAL PICTURES,
Including 170-of the SUatista EFFORTS of his vast and

The great renown acquired, by.this distinguished orna-
ment of his Art, will necessarily circumscribe the necessity,
of going into a very long detail : this is fortunate, inas-
much as the appalling difficulty of doing strict justice
`mould weaken the humble effort, and thus render-more im-
perfect a sketch, that pretends-not to give more than a very
'fain outline of the brilliant picture, to which a much more
tabula man would feel himself incompetent to do adequate
justice to.. In viewing this
SPLENDID EXHIBITION OF THE FOUNDER AND

had sa long remained in its infancy. It was by the
generous devotion of his pencil to the noblest aim of his
profession, that first brought British Painting into direct
association with the Throne, and raised it into an object of
national. importance in the mind of hits Sovereign. It Will
