INVESTMENT.

111/I[R. IV. IV. SI1111)§6NIi; received instruc-
tions to SELL by AUCI lON, at the Mart, in the
inonth of April, a valuable ESTATE, eligibly situated in the
parishes of Copford Birch and Layer Niamey, within six miles
of Colchester and 10 of Malden, two of the best corn markets
ha the county. It comprises an excellent farm-house, two
double cottages, and numerous agricultural buildings, all in ex-
cellent repair, together with 214 ACRES of productive land,
in a very high state of cultivation, of which eight acres are rich
pasture, and the remainder fertile arable land, a large proportion
of which is adapted to the growth of turnips and other green
crops. The estate is freehold (excepting about 32 acres),
and is let on lease for an unexpired term of five years from
Michaelmas next, at the very low rent of 2601. per annum.
The Property may be viewed by permission, and particu-
lars may be obtained of W. Salmon Cooper, Esq., Solicitor,
Colchester; of Messrs. Bignold, Pulley, and Mawe, Solicitors,
Bridge-street, Blackfriars ; at the Mart ; and of Mr. W. W.

'KENT.—An unrivalled FREE EIOLD INVESTMENT.
The entire ISLAND of EL %MEN', containing nearly 3,000
ACRES, about a mile and a half from the London-road, and
114 _ sin' two miles from Sittingbourne.
R. -W. W. SIMPSO.N has received directions
-It.. from the Proprietor, to SELL BY AUCTION, at the
IVllstrt, London, in the ensuing month,
The ENTIRE ISLAND of ELMLEY, comprising 2,300
Acres of old fresh marsh, and 290 Acres of marsh, enclosed 15
y ears since, all of superior quality, and peculiarly adapted to the
grazing of bullocks and sheep, together with 350 Acres of salt
marsh. These valuable marshes have the pre-eminent advan-
ti age of an ample supply of fresh water in all seasons, there being
BD pure springs on the island ; such, also, is the soundness of
these lands, that when the rot in sheep prevailed to a frightful
extent throughout the kingdom, Elmley Island never engen-
dered this destructive disease. There is not a public road, nor
is: there a public path, on the island, excepting to the church.
'l'he estate is bounded by the East Swale, and the river walls
as-e most substantial and in excellent condition ; they are easne-
rally protected by a deep foreground of salt marsh. Curing
the last 11 years, a period which includes some of the highest
tides known within the memory of man, the repair of these
walls has averaged only 130/. per annum, which is the best test
of! cheap security. '1 he buildings on the island consist of cot-
t: iges for herdsmen, cattle sheds, stabling, &c. ; these, with the
gates and fences, are kept in repair at the joint expense of
landlord and tenant ; the average outlay to the landlord does,
mot exceed 301. per annum. The parochial rates are of insig-
nificant umount. There is but one pauper who at the pre-
sent time receives relief in the parish of Elmley. The estate
supplies first-rate coursing ; hares are reared and preserved at
scarcely any cost, and as the island consists exclusively of green
land they may be multiplied without injury to the occupiers.
This extensive surface of marsh land might, if it were in the
possession of a proprietor of tillage(' estates, be most advanta-
geously parcelled out in certain proportions with the farms,
which are deficient in green land, and the rental of this island,
as well as those of the upland estates, would thus be greatly
augmented. The tenants, of whom there are six only, are
we tlthy, and of the highest respectability. That the rental is
very moderate is attested by the recent valuation of a compe-
tent: local surveyor, whose estimates are confirmed by the opi-
nion of Mr. Simpson. Mr. Simpson is open to private offers
antecedent to the day of sale.
Particulars and plans are in preparation, and may shortly be
had of Messrs. Bridges and Mason, Solicitors, Red Lion-
square; of Richard Bathurst, Esq., Solicitor, and Agent to
the Estate, Faversham ; arid of Ur. W. W. Simpson, 18
Bucklersbury, London.

3/1-11. W. W. SIMPSON has been instructed
to SELL BY AUCTION at the Mart, London, in
the month of May next, the following PROPERTY in Lots :
Lot 1. The MANOR FARM, situated in the parish of
C;hidham, three miles from Emsworth, five from Chichester
and Havant, twelve from Portsmouth and fourteen only from
the Fareham Railway station. The Residence, the site of
which is dry and healthy, is of a gentlemanly character, in
excellent repair, and contains entrance hall, spacious
dining, drawing, and morning rooms, elomestic offices,
iIUMOrOI. bed -rooms of considerable dimensions,
It is approached by a carriage-drive and lawn, pleasantly varied
with evergreens and flowering shruii The gardens, the walls
of which are clothed with choice frill-trees, are very produc-
tive. This division of the Estate includes about 400 acres of
arable, upland pasture, and marsh, with :bout 17 acres of wood
land. The agricultural buildings are on a scale duly propor-
tioned to the extent of the Estate ; the suface soil is composed
of a friable vegetal loam, several feet in depth, and rests on a
marl substratum ; it is therefore sound and powerful in the ex-
treme, and adapted to the growth of every description of white
straw and green crops ; turnips are fed off by folding ; the lands
are so genial and fertile as to resist the generally hurttul effects of
wet or dry seasons, thus the plants of wheat, beans, and peas of
the late wet and generally defective season, are full and vigo-
rous. Tho marshes and other green lands have never engen-
dered the rot in sheep, or other diseases incident to cattle on
unsound surfaces. This part of the estate is bounded by a
creek, which empties itself into the Chichester Harbour. Ma.
nure and produce are shipped from the banks and hardway
without the expense of wharfing, an,i the waters of this chan-
nel deposit a large supply of sea-weed, exceedingly fertilising
as manure, which it at present disposed of on advantageous
terms for the dressing of those lands which require it.
Lot 2. The great tithes extending over the Manor Farm,
held on Lease from the Dean and Chapter of Chichester, for
three lives, aged respectively 13, 50 and 70 years.
Lot 3. A desirable and compact Freehold Estate, situated in
the parish of Chidhain, and within two niile4 of Lot 1, consist-
ing of nine acres of arable, p. attire and about five acres of plan-
tation land of nearly a similar description to the Manor Farm.
There is a large double cottage (which by a moderate outlay
might be converted into a farm.house), and there are also con-
venient agricultural buildings.
Lot 4. The great tithes (.n the last mentioned farm, held the
same as Lot 2.

The parochial rates on the en'ire property are very mode-
rate, amounting to :321. per annum only. Each Farm is within
a ring fence, and distinguished fur its neatly clipped quick-
fences and higl. cultivation, and occupied by Messrs. ti...orge
and Edward Wyatt. There is excellent Shooting on the
Estate, and the country is regularly hunted by Colonel Wynd-
ham's and other fox-hounds. 'there is a powerful Water Corn
Mill within miles from the Estate, and It; others within a
range of 5 miles. These contribute, with good roads, to con-
stitute Chichester cam of the best markets:in the kingdom.
The above description is the result of a careful survey of
the property by Mr. Simpson, and he fearlessly courts the in-
vestigation of practical agriculturists as the test of the accuracy
of his statement,,. He avoids that fiction an.l puffing in ad-
vertisements, which would seem to imply that all persons arc
fools who desire to invest theircapital in landed or other estates.
Particulars are in preparation, and may shortly be obtained
on application to Mr. W. W. Simpson, 18. Bucklersbury ;
cr Geore Wyatt, Esq., Chidham ; William Duke, Esq., Soli-
citor,'Artudel ; and Mr. Edward Fuller, Surveyor, Chichester.
