Near to York.—The famed Kilnwick Percy Estate, with
Mansion, Park and Ornamental Waters, and a Demesne
extending to 1,600 Acres of excellent Land, within a per-
fect ring fence, and manorial rights and privileges to a
great extent.
MR. GEORGE ROBINS is much flattered by having
received the instructions of

ROBERT DENISON, ESQ.
to SELL by PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction
Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 30th of July, at Twelve
o'Clock,
A SINGULARLY DESIRABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE,
and certainly one of
THE MOST DISTINGUISHED THROUGHOUT

THE EAST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE.
It is not a little fortunate and delightful reminiscence for the
individual who has to compose this feeble effort that the
FAME OF KILNWICK PERCY
stands not in need of artificial aid to pourtray its multifarious
beauties. It has acquired a renown that would be impaired
by any attempt that Mr. Robins could perpetrate in an en-
deavour to eulogise it; and therefore he feels relieved from
a necessity to go very much into detail, and will confine
himself to the higher points and advantages, some of which
would perchance escape observation. It is beyond doubt
one of the
MOST INFLUENTIAL ESTATES IN THE COUNTY ;
but it may be as well to demonstrate the fact by a few con-
cise remarks : it includes
THE WHOLE TOWNSHIP OF KILNWICK PERCY,
which contains SIXTEEN HUNDRED ACRES
of exceedingly good land, the whole of which is convertible ;
and it is not a little refreshing at this moment to witness the
effect which has been produced by extraordinary good farm-
ing ; the crops speak intelligibly, and leave competition at a
great distance; it is seen on the instant that the hand and
head of an agricultural artiste has been busily and success-
fully employed, and displays a proud confirmation of what
may be accomplished by talent and capital. It may be re-
marked as a fact of rare occurrence, that throughout the de-
mesne there is not a single acre of land that has not passed
the ordeal of Mr. Denison's penetrating eye and judgment.
It has been drained throughout, and the whole at this
moment presents the most refreshing contrast to any con-
temporary property, and shows the satisfactory result of an
estate so perfect throughout as not to have left (even Capa-
bility Brown, had he been alive) the opportunity to indulge
in his favourite passion of improvement,
THE MANSION HOUSM
is every thing that can be required ; it is seen nestling under
the wings and fostering care of the surrounding lofty hills by
which it is delightfully screened from the importunity of win-
try winds;
THE SPLENDID AMPHITHEATRE AND DIVERSI-
FIED VIEWS
must be seen to be appreciated. The steep ascent is clothed
in verdure to the summit.
THE WOODLAND SCENERY, of SURPASSING
BEAUTY,
is diversified by lofty projecting hills and fertile dells. Lux-
uriant banks pleading in their beauteous form at the foot of
the hanging woods, perpetual ivy which entwines and adorns
the countless thousands of forest trees, vistas formed by
nature's hand, the hermitage, the fishing ponds, a valley
teeming in wild luxuriance, the ripling of the waters and
pelucid stream gently gliding through the groves, the Ameri-
can plants fresh and green in little myriads, divesting the
winter months of anything like ennui or discomfort, com-
plete a coup d'ceil that -seem to approach Elysium, and pro-
duce an effect that it would be idle to attempt to describe
through this imperfect sketch—
•` There's nothing left to Fancy's guess,
You see that all is loveliness."
Claude would have delighted to exert his pencil in such a
cause, and Scotia's bard would have been well employed in
giving it effect.
THE FINELY WOODED PARK,

with its
EXTENSIVE AND BEAUTIFUL WATERS,
and vessels in full costume, aid this delightful illusion, and
the land is, besides, unusually productive. Upon the
PLEASURE AND PARK FARMS,
including SEVEN HUNDRED ACRES of FINE FEED-
ING GRASS LAND,
may be seen, in great numbers, oxen that will put in strong
claims at Christmas to the Smithfield prizes. After this de-
claration, the quality of the soil will no longer be equivocal.
But to return to the abode ;—it is adapted to suit the views
of a family of pretensions, for whom there would be abun-
dant accommodation. Ingenuity and a little tact have, how-
eer, precluded the slightest appearance of being overhoused.
The principal rooms are well proportioned, and the domestic
accommodation throughout so complete as to leave nothing
to be desired ; and it must be borne in mind, that there is
not the slightest need of any outlay, either in real or orna-
mental decoration. The Offices, which are of recent creation,
are not to be surpassed anywhere :
THE SPLENDID CONSERVATORIES
give a ton to the ensemble. A Flower Garden, adorned by
ROCK WORK AND THE FOUNTAIN,

are unceasingly improving and increasing the beauty of the
spectacle. Amid this scene of loveliness, adorned by so
much of wood and water, hill and dale, with grounds undu-
lating, everywhere there is a perpetual effort for the ascen-
dancy. which renders it difficult to award the prize. The
writer has only to add, that if he possessed the power of in-
vention (he presumes not to hint at that of eloquence), he
would be at a loss to create a single, solitary want at Kiln-
wick ; indeed perfection may be said to prevail throughout.
THE LITTLE CHURCH IN THE PARK,
of the Saxon order, is close at hand, fitted up in solid carved
oak, with ancient glass window ;—nor must the situation he
treated lightly. York, with its splendid fame and magnifi-
cent Minster, is within fifteen miles ; Leeds, with its railway.
a little more removed ; and Pocklington is close by. But
the grand desideratum is yet to be proclaimed ; it is
WITHIN TEN HOURS DRIVE OF LONDON,
and an M.P. will now breakfast in the bosom of his family,
and surprise the Honourable Members of St. Stephen's by
his eloquence the same evening.
THE GARDENS AND PLEASURE GROUNDS
are so beautiful as to harmonize with the landscape ; and it
may be added, they are so complete that no auxiliary aid is
required.
THE HOT AND SUCCESSION HOUSES AND

PINERY
are formed upon the new principle of hot water, and the fruit
is incomparably fine. The famed Beech Tree, which has
already

NUMBERED 400 YEARS ON THE LAWN,
is 270 feet in circumference. There is a Terrace Drive of
two miles around the estate. To conclude; it is affirmed
(without fear of any one to gainsay it) that Kilnwick pos-
sesses a combination that would indeed be vain to seek else-
where.

The rental and value will approach
THREE THOUSAND POUNDS A-YEAR.

It can only be seen by a ticket, to be had of Messrs. AT.•
KINSON, DIIIII, and BOLLAND, Solicitors, Leeds, or at Mr.
ROBINS'S Office, London.
P.S.—Tbe printed particulars will be ready twenty-eight
days antecedently to the sale, with a drawing and plan, to be
had at the Salutation, Wetherby • the Royal Hotel, Leeds ;
Waterloo, Liverpool; York Herald and Courant Offices, and
Simpson's Hotel, York ; the Manchester Times and Adver-
tiser Offices, Manchester ; and at the Auction Mart, London.

OXON'S EFFERVESCENT MAGNESIAN APE-
RIENT, for Indigestion, Bilious Affections, Casual or
Habitual Costiveness, Piles, &c. &c., and as an invaluable
cure and preventive of Gout.
This elegant preparation of Magnesia, the result of much
study and experiment, is fast superseding all other medicines
of its class, and is now very generally acknowledged to be
the best purgative ever introduced as a public medicine. The
almost unprecedented sale which it has obtained has aroused

the cupidity of many unprincipled persons, who are always
ready to take advantage of the popularity of another's
invention ; and this medicine has therefore been very exten-
sively imitated, by Compounds possessing none of its pro-
perties. Purchasers can only rely upon the Government
Stamp, which, in the genuine article, has " Moxon and
Smith, (then co-partners,) Chemists, Hull," engraved on it.
This is the only certain proof of the genuine preparation.
Not being ranked amongst quack specifics, its valuable.
properties have obtained for it the recommendation of many
members of the medical profession, (among others those of
Drs. Graham and Turnbull,) and numbers of the nobility,
clergy, and gentry of the land. It is universally allowed, by
all who have given it a fair trial, to be superior to all other
medicines as a FAMILY PURGATIVE ; and as an invaluable
companion to the traveller, particularly those visiting tropical
countries ; the sportsman, the delicate female, the sedentary
student; and to all persons subject to irregularities of the
bowels, and the disorders resulting therefrom. A teaspoon-
ful taken after any excess, either in eating or drinking, will
restore the tone of the stomach, and relieve all unpleasant
symptoms. If taken regularly for some time previous to
the usual time of experiencing a fit of Gout, it will generally
prevent, and always mitigate the severity of the attack,
without that injury to the constitution which is consequent
upon the use of colchicum and other strong sedatives.
To those afflicted by Indigestion, Bilious Disorders, Sick-
headache, and all other affections caused by an imperfect
performance of the functions of the digestive organs, it affords
a pleasant and effectual remedy, its operation being at once
effective and unattended by griping or other unpleasant
symptoms. Testimonials from several medical and other
gentlemen are inserted in the bill inclosing each bottle.
