IN THE SOUTH OF DEVONSHIRE

The Bradley Estate, near to the Market Town of
Newton Abbot, distinguished from all Contempora-
ries for the Splendid Woods and Scenery that en-
compass it ; together with the Ancient Mansion House
and Offices, Park-like Grounds, and very rich Gra-
zing and Arable Lands in the Valley below, all within
a Ring Fence, independently of the Freehold Estate
and Influence arising from the Fairsyand Markets,
the Market Place, and all its Appendages of great extent,
and several of the best Houses in t Town, with Coal
Wharfs and the Bradley Inn, besid the extensive Mano-
rial Rights and Privileges within c Borongh of Newton
Abbot and Newton Bushel, a st desirable Investment,
and in Ono Lot.

lt/r R. GEORGE ROBINS is much pleased that he has
11'1 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 thatl;;;be;;;;;;WiateclfOrnany 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 pourtraying 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 MaiiOiciiinglTwicic:rd Hundred of Tun-
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 Marketplace,
and a portion of the best Shops and Residences within the
Town and Borough ; together with the necessary

AND INSEPAAAI3LE 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 near 350 acres of rich grazing and arable lands, en-
tirely within a ring fence ; the tithe and poor-rate very 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

THE SCENE OF ENCHANTMENT WITHIN THEM,
that the reader's attention is called—they rise in majestic
grandeur, and__ _ _

IN AMPHITHEATRIC 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
and 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, witTitrie 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 had
at the leading hotels and libraries at all the neighbouring
watering-places :at the New London Hotel. Exeter; Beim-
ley's Hotel ; the Bradley Inn ; and Mr. D'Ancy, Solicitor,
at Newton Abbot; Mr. T. CHURCH, Solicitor, Bedford-
row ; the Auction Mart • and at Mr. GEoaG2 ROBINS'S
Offices, London. Mr. NICHOLAS WALKS, the surveyor
of Newton Abbot, will be so good as to show the estate.

The Tenure is Leasehold under the Earl of Derby, for
three lives ; and a new Lease, for 75 years, (if desired,) may
he obtained from the said Earl on the payment of a small
fine.

BKABNER and ATKINSON, Solicitors, Feuwick Buildings,

Airß. GEORGE ROBINS is instrde/(i'l to SELL BY
IVI AUCTION, at the Waterlo otel, Liverpool, on
TUESDAY, the 29th June, at Twel ,in Nineteen Lots,
AN EXCEEDINGLY ELI IBLE FREEHOLD
PROPERTY,
advantageously situate within four miles of

THE. BOROUGH OF LIVERPOOL
It consists of

THE AIGBURTH HALL ESTATE,
abutting on the road to Park Hill, and the New Church, in
the vicinity of Toxteth Park, and extending a quarter of a
mile along the River Mersey. As this is intended only as a
preliminary announcement, a few remarks will. it is believed,
be sufficient to enlist the early attention of those who are
candidates for acquiring wealth at a railway pace. The
property comprises

- ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY ACRES,
admirably situate, and commanding a most important front-
age of considerable extent upon
THE SPLENDID RIVER MERSEY,
and partaking of the interesting views of the floating scenery
and Hooton Woods and Park, with Denbigh and Snowdou
Mountains in the distance. It is intended to divide this par-
ticularly eligible freehold ground into suitable lots whereon
to create twenty chateaus, adapted to the- recreation of the
wealthy merchants of the first town in England, who will
gladly avail themselves of so short a remove from their daily
occupations, to go to Aigburth and repose on the pleasing
reminiscence of every day's gain. As it is on the Liverpool
side of the Mersey, the communication by land and water is
continuous.

Additional information will be announced in due time ;
particulars had of Messrs. AMORY, SEWELL, and MooAEa,
Throgmorton-street, and Mr. MULLINER, Surveyor, Old
Broad-street, London ; Messrs. WILLIAMS, Surveyors, Li.

IN THE VICINITY OF THE WESTMORELAND

LAKES

The Castle Head Estate, the favoured Property of this Dis-
trict, and a Domain around it of 165 Acres, independently
of 70 Acres of Marsh Lands secured from the Sea ; the
Estate is Freehold, and exempt from Tithe.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS has much pleasure in having
been instructed to SELL by PUBLIC-COMPETI-
TION, at the Auction Mart, London, OyTHURSDAY, July
15, at Twelve, in One Lot, a

VERY FINE FREEHOLD FCROPERTY,
and most especially adapted to suij the views of the rich mer-
chant of this or any vicinity. Ttare is so much to admire,
with the capability still to improve, that the fair lady of the
proprietor may oppose her present unequivocal taste to that
of bygone days. This observation applies
ONLY TO THE INTERIOR OF THE CONVENIENT
EDIFICE,

which will be noticed in due time ; for as it regards the
grounds that encompass it. it would approach sacrilege to
attempt to remodel or improve them.
THE CASTLE HEAD ESTATE

takes its name from
THE FAR-FAMED MOUNT
which rises' majestically towards the clouds, to a fearful
height. In the olden times tradition gives account of its
being
ONE OF THE ANCIENT ROMAN STATIONS.
It was left to Mr. Wilkinson, the celebrated and very rich
iron master to incline to an expenditure of near £25,000, and
the bridge and embankment cost upwards of £20,000 more
of his immense wealth in creating that which has
NO PARALLEL THROUGHOUT ENGLAND.
Its renown is imperishable, and this observation is made ad-
visedly; but the reader is invited to seek ocular demonstra-
tion, for it is quite impossible to find language that will eon.
vey in adequate terms the surpassing delight that the ascent
from the verdant lawns to the mountain top will inspire the
beholder. It would be the work of supererogation to at-
tempt to draw upon Fancy's sketch : language is toe feeble ;
the creation of the mountain belongs to Nature, and in its
completion is the only solitary instance within the writer's
recollection where nature has reluctantly succumbed to art;
but the fact is here proclaimed, and the triumph is perfect;
to describe it in suitable language will not be attempted. The
reader is earnestly invited to resort and pay it an immediate
visit, with: an assurance that the undescribable landscape
which is in store will leave an impression that uo time can
obliterate. .

THE UMBRAGEOUS WALKS
ARE FIVE MILES IN EXTENT

amid the 'woods and plantations in the ascent to the mountain
top ; in ascending there is ever and anon breaks and peeps
to vary and diversify the scene until at length, on the summit

TOE EINSIUM OF THIS WORLD

becomes visible on the instant. Mr. Robins would not covet
the feelings of any human beinii_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 rock, 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 time 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
HOT AND SUCCESSION HOUSES,
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
