THE SALE OF

Sir Bellingham Graham's splendid property, the Nunnington
Estate, with a rental of FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS A YEAR,
including 2,700 acres of the best Land in the Country. The
whole of Nunnington Village, and most probably a SEAT IN
PARLIAMENT, no TITHES, and a very low Poor Rate is
ushered in to the Monied World by the following (it must
be admitted) seductive introductory remarks by Mr. George
Robins, in his very descriptive particulars of this most im-
portant Sale. To the Fundholder it may be said, of his pro-
duction and commentary thereupon—" Mark, learn, and
inwardly digest it." Certain it is, there is no such Estate
in the Market, and the odds are in favour. of a purchaser
from Leeds or York.

The Estate, which is about to be particularized, claims the
especial attention of all those who, possessing wealth, at e
not insensible to the value of an Investment arising from
Land of a quality which cannot be surpassed in the kingdom.
The time for possessing this splendid Property appears to be
very opportune ; the exceedingly high price of the Funds
should incline those, who are large Fundholders, to realize
before the opportunity may pass away; for, without arguing
upon the probability of any untoward event which may lead
to hostilities, there is quite enough in the political horizon
to show that the time is not far distant when the Funds will
retrograde to a more healthy and secure state, and whenever
this event takes place, a certain and favourable re-action
must stimulate the agricultural interest. It will then be
seen that " terra firma ' is the best, the safest Investment ;
and all those who are receiving three per cent. upon their
capital in .Land, will have no difficulty in doubling their in-
come. What a different picture might be drawn of the Fund-
holder at the same period !
Mr. Robins feels that he has only fulfilled his duty by
endeavouring to enlist the, attention of the monied world,
while the opportunity is within reach—his warning voice
will be remembered by all those, who, having money at com-
mand, have not taken the prudent resolve which this short ad-
dresd has suggested. The positive necessity for adhering to the
wholesome regulations affecting the Corn Laws has been
triumphantly established in both Houses of Legislature, not
by a niggardly, but by such a splendid majority as must put
the question at rest, so long as England shall maintain her
present proud attitude, and her Parliament proclaim the ab-
solute necessity of protecting the agricultural interest by
encouraging industry and a sufficient growth of Corn in our
dominions for the consumption of our own native soil. Ad-
mitting this self-evident position, the prospective views, in
respect to landed investments, never before put on so cheer-
ing and satisfactory a prospect.
At the time the worthy Baronet caused a reduction in his
rents, in the year 1834, agricultural pursuits were fearfully
depressed ' it need hardly be remarked, they have returned
to a more healthy condition, and as the produce is now in-
finitely more valuable than at the time the FORMER RENTS
were cheerfully paid, with the absolute God-send as it re-
gards a landed investment—no Tithe, a small Poor-rate, and
the best land in the county, it is not drawing largely on the
reader to estimate the present annual value at FIVE Tnou-
SAND Two HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR, and which will be
cheerfully paid by the responsible and wealthy tenants with-
out a murmur, and, for the future, they will consign the
word "Abatement " to the tomb of all the Capulets.
The following statement, from the public announcement,
will prepare the reader, by a round unvarnished tale, for a
most favourable exchange from the Three per. Cents. to terra
firma, and all those who intend to have the gratification of
viewing this fine property, will, on returning from a survey,
agree that Mr. ROBINS has not, in the slightest degree, too
highly coloured his picture.—Extract from a York paper.
