surrounded by the best roads in every direction, and in a
vicinity that ingenuity itself will be at fault to find a parallel
case.
THE CLIMATE OF THE SOUTH OF DEVONSHIRE
is as efficacious as the SOUTH OF FRANCE,
to restore health and prolong life. A rich East Indian should
be tempted into this purchase and splendid vicinity, mot
unfrequently assimilated TO HEAVEN UPON EARTH,
if he would repair the mischief inflicted by getting wealth at
the expense of a debilitated constitution. Torquay, which
is on the verge of this Estate, with splendid villas most
invitingly placed in readiness for a nabob, is famed for the
countless numbers of valitudinarians that have been restored
to health by the genial influence of its atmosphere. Dart-
mouth and Totness are close at hand, and Exeter within a
drive of two hours, and ere long it will be
WITHIN EIGHT HOURS OF THE METROPOLIS
OF LONDON.
Devonshire is proverbial for the superiority of its soil, bilk
it should seem that Nature has been immeasurably kind to
this property. The quality is really unsurpassable, and to
this it may be added,

becomes visible on the instant. Mr. Robins would not covet
the feelings of any human being who could view
THIS SCENE OF ENCHANTMENT

without duly appreciating the combined effort of an exceed-
ingly long purse, with an infinity of good taste to put it in
motion. It would be idle to point out the immensity of the
views, or the diversity of the scene ; there is a never-ending
variety, with an extent almost interminable.
THE SEA—THE RAPID RIVER—THE RICH VALE,
AND THE MOUNTAIN TOPS,
seem all contending for the ascendancy. It must be remarked
that on the extreme height of this renowned mount are two
gardens of considerable extent, adorned by flowering shrubs
and American plants, transcendently beautiful, feathering to
the ground in the greatest profusion ; indeed the creation of
this luxuriant mount from a barren reek, shows how little of
impossibility there exists in this world, if
THE MARCH OF THE MIND IS WELL APPLIED.
Its extent is 500 feet from the level of the sea beneath it. It
is here that
THE LOVER'S LEAP MAY BE PERPETRATED
with success. The spot is prepared, but the splendid scenery
that on the instant becomes visible' has interposed its magic
spell, and to the present period left no historical record
wherewith to illumine the reader of so fearful an attempt. It
is now tune to return to the edifice, of which it has been re-
marked that there is great room of an outlay in ornamental
decoration. The house has abundant accommodations for a
family of some pretensions. It is seen from the high-road,
nestling amid the luxurious plantations, with a terrace walk
and long avenue approach, and the splendid river to form its
boundary. The offices are fully sufficient ; the kitchen gar-
dens (not alluding to those on the ascent towards the clouds)
are prolific and extensive. There are

This may be accounted a demonstration
" STRONG AS HOLY WRIT."
And it may be noticed, that amongst the infinity of claims
that are put forth by Collaton Kirkham, the scenery is not
the least; on the acclivity, which appears 2,000 feet above
the sea, is presented
A. PANORAMA AS PERFECT
as the world can accomplish—Torbay:in one direction, Tor-
quay and Babbecornbet Bay on the other, are seen at the foot
of this stupendous and romantic hill, while the
UNRIVALLED DART,
winding its rapid and circuitous course through

resents such a constant accession of fresh delight, as to
" be likened to perpetual motion ;" it must be seen to be
appreciated. THE PACKET STATION
is finally fixed at Dartmouth, and the Devon oxen will now,
by means of railway, breathe the air of Smithfield in eight
hours.

150 feet in length, and the present show of grapes gives ample
proof of the quality of the vineyard. The climate is here so
congenial, that the heaviest fall of snow in winter does not
lie on the ground more than three or four days, when at a
short distance it remains for weeks. There is capital fishing
in the River Winster, which is particularly noted for its
trout, and a pack of fox hounds within five miles. It may
be essential, by way of concluding, to allude to the more
profitable portion of the property. There is
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FIVE ARES OF LAND,
entirely within a ring-fence, in fine healthy condition. There
is beside

Castle Head is situate in Westmoreland and Lancashire, 10
miles from Lancaster, and four and a half from Milnthcrrpe
across the sands; 12 from Kendal, 13 from Ulverstonc, and
5 from Windermere Lake ; and it is important to know that
although in days of yore the distance became a slight impedi-
ment, it is now within

THE MANOR AND MANORIAL RIGHTS
(a court being held annually) will not be disregarded, inas-
much as beside the profit, game is in great abundance. The
Estate is plentifully supplied with water, even in dry seasons ;
indeed, it may be observed, he must be a most uncongenial
spirit who could breathe a solitary word in disparagement of
this investment.—ln a second Lot will be sold
THE OCCOM BE AND COMPTON POOL ESTATE,
two miles from the great feature which has been so inade-
quately noticed ; it is on the direct road from Totness to
Torquay, and consists of a Farm-house and Buildings, with
183 acre of excellent Land, independent of the Orcharding,
which, by the way, ought to have claimed a distinguished
place in the preceding attempt, inasmuch as its beauty,
although every where conspicuous, is secondary to the im-
mense revenue which, in this cyder country, it affords ; the
luxuriant blossom, seen by the writer, produced a sensation
never to be obliterated ; his memory could repose on it for
ever. Again, it is indispensable with a view to confirm the
eulogium pronounced on the quality of the soil throughout
the whole domain, to observe, that the oxen fatted on this
property are in high request at Smithfield, and frequently
secured before their arrival. The produce from the Meadow
Land EXCEEDS TWO TONS PER ACRE,
while the Corn Lands produce from four to five quarters of
wheat and barley. But to return to Occombe. The Estate
is principally occupied by Mrs. Norcott, who has a lease of
three years, at a very insufficient rent. The Farm is adapted
to sheep and corn. It has besides ten acres of new Orchard
and sixteen of Woods and Plantations. At Compton Pool
there are Grist Mills, and a newly-erected Farmlhouse and
Buildings. Connected, and in a separate lot, will be sold,
the Pool Mills and the Pool Fields, and
THE ENTIRE VILLAGE OF COLLATON.

most desirable investment of the county.—Particulars will

Abbot and Newton Bushel, a mast desirable Investment,
and in One Lot.
1%4R. GEORGE ROBINS is much pleased that he has
LVI. been selected by the worthy divine and respected pro-
prietor to SELL, by PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the
Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, July 15, at Twelve,
in One Lot, a
VERY IMPORTANT FREEHOLD ESTATE,
and certainly one of
THE MOST RENOWNED THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY. THE BRADLEY ESTATE
has acquired a fame that has been perpetuated for many ge.
nerations. History has recorded its antiquity ; indeed, it is
fortunate that so much has been already said in its praise
from unequivocal authority, that but little is left for Mr.
Robins to offer by way of panegyric. Before he ventures
upon the responsibility of pqurtraying by his feeble attempt
THE WOODS OF BRADLEY, AND THE SURPAS-
SING BEAUTY OF THE WOODLAND SCENERY,
he will give a short outline of the nature and extent of pro-
perty that is to be brought under review.
First—The Manor of Highwick and Hundred o...r=n-
bridge, in the Borough of Newton Bushel and Newton
Abbot. The Courts Leet and Baron, Lordship, Royalties
and Privileges of the Borough of Newton Bushel and Abbot.
The Courts and Chief Rents belonging to the Fairs and Mar-
kets of Newton Abbot. The Bradley Inn, the Market-place,
and a portion of the best Shops and Residences within tke
Town and Borough ; together with the necessary
AND INSEPARABLE INFLUENCE THEREUNTO
BELONGING AND APPERTAINING.

The rental and value derivable from the portion may be
estimated at near Xl,OOO a year.
THE BRADLEY ESTATE AND WOODS

extend to near3soacTes of rich grazing and arable lands, en-
tirely within a ring fence; the tithe and poor-rate ♦ery li-
mited.

THE MANSION IS 'VERY ANCIENT,
and in candour it must be proclaimed that it has been very
much disregarded for many years; history has been more
kind, and in the olden times awarded to its meed of praise.
A new possessor will distinguish his taste from that of by-
gone days, and, with a pretty considerable outlay, render it a
suitable appendage to the magnificent woods that adorn it ;
nor is it improbable a more elevated spot would be selected
to substitute another mansion. It is, however, of the famed
woods and to

that the reader's attention is called—they rise in majestic
grandeur, and
IN AMPIIITHEATRIC PRIDE
around the venerable abode, ascending to a tremendous
height, the scene varying at every turn, with walks and rides
disposed by the hand of The Great Master in every direction,
until the summit is accomplished, when a scene is presented
that may be imagined, but certainly cannot well be described :
for extent and loveliness nothing can surpass it—the mur-
muring of the rapid river Lemon in the sequestered regions
below—and when the setting sun condescendingly makes
golden all the leaves—when the music of a thousand birds is
heard—it is not too much to liken the scene to one approach-
ing Elysium : it presents a striking concentration of sublime
an majestic scenery, softened by the intermixture of features
the most romantic and picturesque,
" 'Till breathless, as we grow when feeling most;
And silent,—we stand in thoughts too deep
For utterance."
The poet aye, and the painter too, amid the scenes of rocks
and woods, and pellucid streams, may realise, and without
the aid of fancy's sketch, a picture of transcendent beauty
and interest—rivalling all that has been said or sung
"OF OTHER CLIMES AND SUNNY ISLES

REMOTE."
This portion of the estate, with the domain already referred
to, closely approximates upon the town, which it ought to
have been observed is one of the most improved and still im-
proving towns in Devonshire. The land is necessarily en-
hanced considerably in value, and it will not be estimating it
too highly at near £l,OOO a year. A nobleman or gentleman
inclined to field sports will find it to his heart's content at
Bradley, and for hunting, shooting, or fishing, it fears no
rival. It is in the vicinity of Torquay (the pet watering
place of the south), with Teignmouth, Dawlish, Totness, and
Exmouth, all within a morning's drive, and the railway when
completed this autumn will bring
LONDON AND BRADLEY-WOODS WITHIN
SEVEN HOUR'S RIDE OF EACH OTHER.
To conclude, it may be important to those in search of wealth,
with scenery beyond comparison, to know it, it has been as-
certained that there are minerals upon the property ; and
longevity in this favored clime is become proverbial.—Full
particulars of this highly-favored estate will be ready, with a
plan to accompany it, 28 days before the sale, and then hail
at the leading hotels and libraries at all the neighbouring
watering-places : at the New London Hotel. Exeter ; Beaxe-
ley's Hotel; the Bradley Inn ; and Mr. D'AitcY, Solicitor,
at Newton Abbot; Mr. T. CHURCII, Solicitor, Bedford-
row ; the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. GEORGIE ROBINS'S
Offices, London. Mr. NICROLAS Watxx, the surveyor
of Newton Abbot, will be so good as to show ilho estate.
