THREE MOST CAPITAL DAIRY FARMS,

ENTIRELY EXEMPT FROM TITHES, AND VERY
MODERATE OUTGOINGS.

It has been observed they are dairy farms, inasmuch as some of the
beNt Gloucester cheese is yearly traced to Grafton; but a purchaser
may at this present writing see some of the most
PRODUCTIVE CROPS OF CORN THROUGHOUT
ENGLAND,

a circumstance not very difficult of comprehension when It is
called to mind that
THE ESTATE IS IN THE GOLDEN VALE
of Evesham. A turnpike-road passes through it to Tewkesbury
and Cheltenham, and the roads around it in every direction are
capital, with

CHELTENHAM, TUE. FIRST WATERING-PLACE IN
ENGLAND,
Within an hour's drive

THE BECKFORD INN AND HOTEL
approximates upon the Property, and, from the comfort that pre.
sides within, is a feature in this interesting spot.
THE ORCHARDING IS ABUNDANT,
and gives promise of so much Cyder and Perry this season, that it
may fairly be inferred it will improve " THE WAYS AND
MEANS " of the honest trio who compose the happy tenantry
upon Grafton, and who (with ancestors of ancient date) have for
many a long year reposed in profitable delight in our village. It
would be quite impossible for a purchaser to select three more re-
spectable or more talented yeomen than Messrs. Izard, Crump, and
Martin. The estate consists of
FIVE HUNDRED AND SIX ACRES
of first-rate Land, and no Tithe, including Plantations enough to
diversify and improve the picture; the country around it present.
ing a landscape that is almost comparable to the famed beauties of
Devonshire. The tenantry have never had leases, and from their
high respectability and good management, have been so fortunate
as to continue, a very long period, at an inadequate rent of SOW.
a-year. The time has arrived when, without doing them wrong,
the rental may be increased to
ONE THOUSAND POUNDS CLEAR PER ANNUM.
And amongst the agretnens crinected with Grafton, it being with.
out the annoyance of an ovefgrown house upon it, is one of some
import To conclude, it may be well to observe, that the rents are
paid most punctually ; and Lavater has marked conspicuously on
their countenances that the word abatement never entered into
their imagination,
The Estate can be seen, by the kind permission of these intel-
ligent occupants. Particulars, and a plan, may be had at the
Beckford Hotel, close at hand, fourteen days before the sale; also
at the leading Inns at Tewkesbury and Evesham ; and the Royal
Hotel, Cheltenham ; of Mr. Notts, Auctioneer, Worcester ;
Messrs. Bolton, Merriman, and Dunning, Solicitors, Austin Friars;
the Mart ; and in Covent Garden.

THE WEATHER AND CROPS.-Considering the
sate of the crops as a whole, there has been no season
within our remembrance in which at so early a period
appearances have been more generally favourable. The
buy, it is true, is decidedly a light crop ; but the recent
rains and warm atmosphere will ensure a large second
cut. The prospect of an early and bounteous harvest is
every where most gratifying, and every description of
grain crop is as promising as could be desired. Wheat,
is universally in flower—short in the straw, but large in
!he ear, and strong and firm on its legs. Barley is most
luxuriant—the straw an average bulk, and the ears more
than usually large. One peculiarity of the present sea-
son is, that every description of grain crop displays a
richer and brighter green than is usual in this climate.
In the course of a tour in East Lothian a few days ago,
this peculiarity was observed to extend to every descrip-
tion of fruit and forest tree ; and the richly wooded vale
of Tester and Gifford, with the bright and glowing sky
overhead, and the fragrant and balmy atmosphere around,
resembled more a scene in Italy, than any thing in our
northern latitude. Amidst all :the beauty and promise
of the season, however, alas, for the poor man who has
no resource but in labour. Employment is not to be had;
wages are low ; and the cry of his children is still fur
bread.—Scotsman.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—SEDUCTION AND SUICIDE.
—An inquest was held on Saturday afternoon last, at
the Nine Elms Tavern, Nine Elms, South Lambeth, be-
fore
Wm. Carter, Esq., the coroner for Surrey, on view
of the body of Elizabeth Bevan, aged 19 years. It ap-
pi.ared from the evidence adduced to the Jury, that the
deceasel had neither lather,:mother, nor relative living.,
but had been for several months past in service in a re-
spectable family in Westminster, where she was much
liked fur her good conduct. Yesterday week she went
out fora holiday, having stated to her mistress that she
was going to a friend of her mother's, a little way out of
town. She, however, did not return at night, and the
following morning on coming back she was dismissed
from her situation. A private soldier of the Ist, or Gre-
nadier Guards, stated that he had been a sweetheart of
the deceased, and that she had remained in his company
during Mondav and until the following morning, when
he left her, advising. her to go hack to her situation.
Nothing more was heard of the wretched girl until about
four o'clock on Thursday morning last, when she was
seen wandering across Battersea-fields, her hair dishy yel-
led about her face, and her dress in a dirty and dis-
ordered state. In six hours afterwards her lifeless body
was found in the River, near to the steam-boat pier of
the London and Southampton Railroad. 'There were no
marks of violence about it, nor had she any money in
her pockets. The Coroner most severely censured the
heartless villany of her seducer, in which the Jury ac-
quiesced. After a very lengthened deliberation the Jury
returned a verdict " that the deceased was found drowned,
but now she came into the water there was no evidence
to prove."
A very loquacious female witness, whom the op-
posing Counsel could not silence, so far kept him at bay,
that by way of brow-beating her he exclaimed, " Why,
t,oman, there is brass enough in your face to make a
kettle !--" And sauce enough in yours," she instantly
r. plied, " to fill it."
STATE OF TILE COUNTRY.—On the evening of
Friday week, Sir James Graham announced, in the
House of Commons, the terrible faet, that twelre hundred
thousand people are at present receiving parochial relief
in England and Wales ! One in every thirteen of the
population is on the poor-rates, and we may safely
Itstum: that one in every ten is destitute. This state of
distress is unparalleled, we do believe, in the history of
any nation on the face of the earth.—Aberdeen Herat].

IMPORTANT TO ALI, THOSE Wtl4lo EXPECT TO DE
RIVE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—Schweppe's I
Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only
throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised
world, that any enconium on its merits might appear super-
fluous; but as since its original introduction, upwards of hilt
a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or
less claims to yarblic patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty
of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele-
brated Water continues to be manufactured on the largest
!scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es-
tablishment, 51, Berners-street,' London ; and also at their
three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ;
and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at
most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian
Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. The
just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de-
mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them
of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against
which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public.
The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious
article for " Sr.thweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked
bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe-
i for water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the
same. By this artifice a common %%titer is surreptitiously
palmed on the public for the genuine—the reputation of the
latter is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a
certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its
! legiti rate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe
and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over
the conk of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment
in the centre, and the name of their firm on -each side, with-
out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with
rile to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Palaces
of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the
three kingdoms ; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less
constant on the continent and in other parts of the world.
.Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the Ea-t
I and 'West, Indies and our numerous Colonies are continually
transmitting orders received trom t heir respective agents and
correspondents, and highly gratifying is the testimony
Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from gentle-
men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their
soda Water when met with in tropical climates, and of the
high condition in which it is generally found. The Water
ordered for foreign countries is manufactured with an express
t dm-et-lee to its destination, and it is well known that no other,
can equally well endure the variations of climate. ScliwgPe s
I...emonade is an elegant preparation of mere recent intro-
duction, hut from its refreshing and wholesome properties. is
rapidly getting into extensive reputation. It is an effervescing
draught of most agreeable flavour, and made of the beet mate-
rials, without regard to cost. Physicians and medical men
constantly recommend it in cases of fever, Esc., nor is it less
de-
sirable as an article of luxury. Every genuine bottle
l
have a yellow lable on its side, with the name and address of
the firm. Sclivvenpe and Co. are the largest importers of the
German Seltzer Water, which they receive direct from.
springs, in quarts and pints, and which they offer to the pubh
in the original packages.

Lbove in-

closure in the presence of an immense assemblage of
spectators, including several neblemen and gentlemen
of high rank and distinction. The eleven of England
having won the toss went in first, and after some
splendid scientific play their wickets were lowered,
after they had scored 110 runs. The bowling and
fielding of Kent excited general admiiation. Alt
about half-past three, the Kentish gentlemen went in.
Messrs. Baldock, Harenc, and Felix, were put out
without a run. A. Wynn, Esq., was caught out
after some pretty batting. lie scored only seven
runs. Mr. Knatchbull was also caught out, and the
wicket of Messrs. Whittaker and Fagge, were also.
lowered without materially adding to the score.
At half-past five yesterday afternoon, when our
reporter left the ground, there were seven wickets,,
with about forty runs got. A. Wynn, Esq., and.
W. De C. Baker, were in, and had commenced,
getting runs very fast-

The grand match between eleven gentlemen and

terminated on Saturday evening, at the Beverley
Ground, Canterbury, after three days' severe and
scientific play.
