The LANGOED CASTLE, in the COUNTY OF BRECON, on
the Borders of HEREFORDSHIRE, a SPLENDID DOMAIN,
altogether 6,000 ACRES, with TWO ADV OWSONS,
MANORS extending over :20,000 Acres, and the REPRE-
SENTATION of the COUNTY in Peripeetive.
GEOUGE 110141 s fi is authorised to
SELL, by PUBLIC AUCTION, at the Mart, London,
on THURSDAY, the 16th June, at Twelve o'Cloek, in one Lot, a
MOST IMPORTANT FREEHOLD ESTATE,
situate near to the town of Hay, on the fertile Borders of Here-
fordshire.

IT IS A PRINCELY DOMAIN, AND ONE OF .THE MOST
INFLUENTIAL PROPERTIES IN THE MARKET.
A man of rank,
WHO WOULD REPRESENT THE COUNTY,
and is inclined to field sports, will:find this a real godsend. The
Castle is large and ancient, but the situation is quite irresistible,
with a view to impiove it, and render it adapted to a man of for-
tune. The views are perfectly beautiful—it is a sylvan panorama.
The hills which ascend in gentle acclivity from the river, are
clothed in full-grown Timber. It Is seated in a beautiful valley,
one of the most enchanting throughout South Wales,
ON THE BANK OF THE WYE,
and there are walks extending two miles, adorned by magnificent
timber, THE ESTATE EXTENDS. OVER
SIX THOUSAND ACRES, •
of which tl.ere is near
THREE HUNDRED ACRES OF LAWN AND RICH
• WATER MEADOWS.
THE MANORS EXTEND TO TWENTY
"' ' THOUSAND ACRES,
independeatly of the domain, ni.confiectsd with the estate, which
is also well supplied with game throughout. The pheasant shooting
is famous, and the salmon fishing adrilrable, And there is a
SHOOTING-BOX IN THE CENTRE.
There are several small farms, and the home .demesne connected
with Langoed Castle may be estimated.at 1,9.00 acres. The estate
being chiefly grass is free from the fluctuation of corn, and the pre-
sent rental is about
FOUR .THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED A YEAR.
There are • TWO ADVOWSONS, •
within three miles of each other,' giving additional value and con-
sequence to the purchase,whicli is altogether one of such importance
that a Nabob will be fortunate in the possession of it. The Duke
of Beaufort's moors adjoin this estate.
Mr. Robins strongly recommends this little principality' to his
Friends and the Public, as a very sound investment.—Covent.

NEW ILLUSTRATED WORK ON THE ENVIRONS

OF LONDON.

This day is published, price 2s. 6d., beautifully printed in

With Descriptions of Lambeth—Vauxhall—Chelsea—Batter-
sea— Wandsworth—Fulham— Putney— Hammersmith— Chis.
wick—Kew—Brentford—lslevrorth; and the numerous objects
of interest on the route.

" The plan of the publication appears to be a very judicious
one. The book is suitable both for an antiquary and general
reader, and will convey much intelligence in an agreeable
manner. The illustrations and views of houses, churches,
tombs, monuments, &c., are very good ; they possess the merit
of being representations of the places and things they are in-
tended to convey a notion of, and are not mere compositions
ith the names of objects written under them at random.
The work is beautifully got np, and printed in a good type.
Altogether, this is a publication from which everybody will
derive some new knowledge ; it is full of anecd.-ite, and is
written with taste and accuracy."—Times, May 9, 1642.

COURT OF QUEENS BENCH, May 12.
Lord DENMAN disposed of a few short causes this
morning of no general interest, after which the Court
discharged the jury► and adjourned at half-past twelve
o'clock.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 12.
CLOVE V. DENT AND ANOTHER.

This was an action framed in several counts, the
principal of which were, that the defendants had im-
prnperly disposed of certain goods, the property of the
plaintiff ; that they had continued illegally in possession
of the plaintiff's house ; and that they had assaulted
the plaintiff's wife and imprisoned her.
It appeared that the plaintiff rented a house from the
defendant Dent, in Seymour-place, Bryanstone-square,
in which he carried on the business of a publican. An
arrear of rent, to the amount of 18/., having become due
to the defendant on the 25th of September last, he levied
a distress on the goods of the plaintiff, and employed a
person of the name of Morgan, who was the second
defendant in the case, to distrain the goods.
Morgan continued for a week in possession, without
being authorised to do so, it was contended, and con-
trary to the Statute. An arrangement (the precise cha-
racter and attendant circumstances of which it was very
difficult to determine from the evidence given on both
sides) was entered into between the wife of the
plaintiff and a person of the name of Woodgate,
who was to become the new tenant of Mr. Dent,
by which it was agreed that she should give up
possession of the house and the fixtures, on condition
that this should be accepted in payment of the rent due,
and that she should receive a sum of money in addition,
for any goods that might be on the premises. On the
Monday following the day of this agreement, the plain-
tiff's wife came to claim of the defendant the money
which she supposed was due to her. There arose on
that occasion some misunderstanding between the par-
ties ; the woman became very violent in her conduct ;
and she was then given into the custody of two police-
men, who deposed to her having been drunk at the time.
The charge against her, on her removal to the police
office, was abandoned on condition that she should not

return to the house, or molest the defendants. She was
then dismissed ; but having again returned, and.secreted
herself in the house she was again removed to the sta-
tion-house.
The Jury, after a short deliberation, found a verdict
for the deteudant in the sum of 51.

A quarrel took place last week between two•youths
of Mulhausen, in Alsace, one 15, the other 16 years of age,
and ended in a fight, in which the youngest got severely
beaten. Dererrnined to have his revenge, he filled his hand-
kerchief with stones, and, waiting the approach of his adver-
sary, struck him with such force on the chest, that the poor
fellow immediately dropped down senseless, and, after linger-
ing two days in great pain, expired. The assassin was taken
into mstody. To meet the ends of justice, it was necessary
that an autopsy of the deceased should be taken ; but his pa-
rents opposed this with so much obstinacy, that the Magistrates

PEGGY GRAY-BALLAD.

Composed by T. Young. Monro and May.
A very common-place melody, with a tolerably well,
written accompaniment.

. . .
The growing taste in this country for better music
will ere long totally exclude such compositions as these.
The power of writing a pretty melody, however good,
must not be the only merit. A musician-like treatment
of the pianoforte part must accompany each song, and
amidst the inundation of these ballad compositions we
wish we could see a greater capability and desire of
doing something towards the elevation of the art. So
much repetition of common-place music can only keep
the modern English song (with some exceptions) at the
same low standard it has for so long a period remained.

SUICIDE THROUGH DISTRESS. —Between nine and
ten o'clock on Wednesday night, a poor old man named John
Hannell, who for several months past had occupied an attic at
No. 6, King's Head-court, Tuthill-street, Westminster, a
common lodging-house of the lowest description, was dis-
covered to have terminated his existence by suspending himself
by the neck with a piece of cord to one of the rafters of the
ceiling. The body was quite cold, and he had evidently been
dead two or three hours. He had stood upon a stool to tie
himselup, and had then kicked it from under him. He was
last seen alive about three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon.
He was by trade a shoemaker, but an affection of the eyes had
of late years prevented him from working at his business, and
lately he had become exceedingly distressed, so much so, that
he frequently went for two and three days together without
tasting food. The attic he occupied was in a most wretched
state, not a vestige of furniture in it, the ceiling and roof broken
through so as to admit the weather, and a heap of dirty rags
serving the wretched man for a bed. The only food found in
the room was a very small piece of stale bread, and half a cup
full of cold tea. The deceased on Wednesday morning re-
marked to a female who lodges in the same house, that the
distress he was in, and what he suffered from hunger, would
very soon induce him to make away with himself. An inquest
will he held on the body this afternoon.
‘Ye have reason to believe that her Majesty's Mi-
nisters are in possession of a late dispatch, forwarded by Major
Pottinger to the authorities at Calcutta. The dispatch in
question, we understand, adds nothing to what was previously
known of the state of affairs in Affgbanistan ; but it completely
exonerates General Elphinstone, assigning the blame of the
late disaster tea different quarter, or rather to different quarters
.—for the councilof war comes in for a share.—. Evening Paper.

NEW MUSIC, &c. &c.

MY HOME I MY HOME ! I LOVE 21111110 ME !
NAY, TELL ME .IVOT.
By Ann Eliza Crossthunfite. Moll7'o and May.
These are pretty melodies, totally unambitious, very
easy, and might be pleasing to those whose taste has not
kept pace with the times. We had some difficulty in
finding a meaning for the verses, for we cannot call such
composition poetry.

I'LL LOVE BUT THEE, MY NATIVE
HOME—BALLAD.
Sung by Miss Dolby, and Music composed by Mrs. John
Holman Andrea's. Monro and May.
This song is a much better composition. The accom-
paniment is more carefully written, and especially when
sung by so charming a vocalist as Miss Dolby, cannot
fail to please.

PRICE OF PROVISIONS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
S.lll,—My attention has been drawn, by the statemb:nt
of jour Correspondent at Fisliguard, in The Sun of the
7th' inst., and in the Welshman of the previous week,
to the low price of provisions in Carmarthen, and several
towns of Pembrokeshire. I wish I could make the same
statement with respect to this town and neighbourhood,
but Neath is considered one of the dearest markets in
the Principality for provisions, beef and mutton being at
the present time from 7d. to 9d. per lb. ; veal, sd. to
7d. ; pork, 6d. to Bd. ; fresh butter, ls., and ls. hi. ;
and potatoes, 4s. 6d. per cwt. Should you be able,
through the medium of your widely-circulated paper,
to call the attention of your Agricultural friends in Pem-
brokeshire and Carmarthenshire to the state of this mar-
ket, I am quite sure they would find it to their advan-
tage to send some of their produce here, and you would
receive the'gratitude of the public at large for doing so.
I remain, Sir, your obedient servant and subscriber,
Neath, Maff- 10. D. M.

In the night of the 29th ult., as four men were em-
ployed ofmPtying the cess-pool of a house at Sassenage, in
them went down to expedite the business, but
tthe
Isere, in
on
the mephitic vapour overcame him, and he fell senseless. The
effect was seen by the three others, a father and two sons, all
of whom went down in succession in hope of affording relief to
each other, but they were equally affected, and must have
perished, but for the cries of a boy who had charge of the horses
of the night-cart, and saw what had happened. Michel Pey-
rardi a servant of the house, hastened to the spot, and, divesting
himself of his clothes, went down, and succeeded in bringing
three of the senseless bodies to the surface. With these exer,
tions Michel became nearly exhausted, but waiting only a few
minutes to recover his strength, and further assistance having
arrived, he fastened a card round his body and descended a
fourth time, and was drawn up with the remaining sufferer in
hi 4 arms. Medical ri d was by this time at hand, and through
judicious treatment all the four men, and Michel himself, who
was in an almost equally bad state, were recovered. The
Mayor of Sassenage has made a repert of his heroic conduct to
the higher authorities, and Michel, whose- means are very
humble, will no doubt receive an adequate reward.

The market was dull, and prices looked down for ncarl7 all
articles. The home trade were the principal operators. Lle
imports were fair.

BRITISH SUGAR.—We have been shown a sample
of what is called British sugar, manufactured, we believe,
from potato-starch, which has been offered to grocers in this
town for the purpose of mixing with (that is, of adulterating)
West India sugar—the party offering it suggesting that the
spurious article (which costs only 52.5. per cwt., whilst West
India, of the same colour, costs about' 745.) may be used to
the extent of one-fourth ; "but, at any rate (the writer adds),
one-fifth will never be seen or found out." This stuff has
certainly a sweetish taste, and the use of it is net so gross a
fraud upon the purchaser as that of potato-starch in its natural
state ; hut no honest grocer will consent to adulterate his
sugar with any such trash; and we hope that a test will be
di=covered tor detecting the fraud wherever it may be prac-
tised. It is quite enough that people should be compelled to
pay the present extravagant price for sugar without being
defrauded by mixtures of this sort into the bargain.-4 Ans.

the Sitter can only' assume during an INSTANTANEOUS
OPERATION—TO THE INTRODUCTION of BACK

Landscapes, Interior of apartments, &c., which produces the

tensive alterations in the Tavern and Gardens for the accom-
modation and amusement of the public, by the erection of
confectionary and fruit-shops, where pastry of every descrip-
tion, and the most choice fruits, can be had at moderate
charges. Not forgetting the great change that has taken place
in the opinion of their countrymen, they have likewise erected
a place in the Gardens where tea, coffee, shrimps, ginger-
beer, lemonade, soda-water, &c., are furnished with the
greatest dispatch ; and ever desirous to give universal satisfac-
tion, have also engaged a Professional Company, not surpassed
by any Establishment in London.

sons ping admittance.
N.B.—The public is llkewise respectfully informed that this
Establishment combines two advantages, which to other Tavern

the opportunity of conve3 ance to and from, in omnibuses every

SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive
and injurious metals called Nickel and German Silver
supplanted by the introduction of a new and perfectly matchless
ALBATA PLATE. C. WATSON (late ALDERMAN)
41 and 42, Barbican, aided by a person of science in the amal-
gation of metals, has succeeded in bringing to public notice the
most beautiful article ever yet offered : possessing all the rich-
ness of Silver in appearance—with its durability and hardness
—with its perfect .weetness in use—undergoing, as it does, a
chemical process, by which all that is-naseous in mixedmetals is
entirely extracted—resist ng all acids, may be cleaned as Silver,
and is manufactured into every article for the Table and Side-
board. _
