IVER. GEORGE ROBINS has much pleasure in having
I.VI. been instructed to SELL by PUBLIC COMPETI-
TION, at the Auction Mart, London, on TUESDAY, August
17, at Twelve, in One Lot, a
VERY FINE FREEHOLD PROPERTY,

and most especially adapted to suit the views of the rich
merchant of this or any reinity. There is so much to ad-
mire, with the capability still to improve, that the fair lady
of the proprietor may ()pose 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 au 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 impostible to find language that will convey
in adequate terms the surpassing delight that the ascent from
the verdant lawns to the mountain top will inspire the be-
holder. It would be the work of supererogation to attempt
to draw upon Fancy's sketch ; language is too feeble ; the
creation of the mountain belongs to Nature, and in its com-
pletion is the only solitary instance within the writer's recol-
lection 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 the assurance that the indescribable landscape
which is in store will leave an impression that no time can
obliterate

THE UMBRAGEOUS WALKS
ARE FIVE MILES IN EXTENT,
amid the woods and plantations in the ascent to the moun-
tain top; in ascending there is ever and anon breaks and
peeps to vary and diversify the scene, until at length, on the
summit,
THE ELYSIUM OF THIS WORLD
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, transcendantly beautiful, feathering to
the ground in the greatest profusion ; indeed the creation of
this luxuriant mount from the 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
remarked 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 profi-
table portion of the property. There is
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FIVE ACRES OF

'LAND,

entirely within a ring-fence, in fine healthy condition. There
is beside
SEVENTY ACRES OF MARSH LAND,
RECENTLY SECURED FROM THE SEA,
with a brilliant prospect of obtaining, by diligence and indus-
try, another hundred acres very speedily, and
A BEAUTIFUL PARK
is easy of accomplishment, and the lands may be irrigated.
Castle Head is situate in Westmoreland and Lancashire, 10
miles from Lancaster, and four and a half from Milnthorpe
across the sands ; 12 from Kendal,. 13 from Ulverstone, 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
THIRTEEN HOURS' RIDE TO LONDON.
Particulars, with plans, are preparing. To be had six
weeks before the auction, at the Waterloo, Liverpool; the
Hotels, Manchester ;
the Plough, Cheltenham ; at the Auc-
tion Mart ; and Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent-garden.

IN THE WEST-RIDING OF YORKSHIRE.
A fine Investment in the Township of Carlton, with the
Manor and Manorial Rights, and Eleven Freehold Farms,
with suitable Residences and a respectable Tenantry, near
to Leeds and Bradford; the Estate extends to 1,130 Acres
of very convertible Land, entirely within a Ring Fence,
the Tithe and Poor Rate very little, and it will be a most
valuable Appendage to a Sporting Gentleman ; Harrogate
is ten miles off, Leeds and Bradford only seven.

AIR. GEORGE ROBINS has great pleasure in making
IV" known to the moneyed world, that he is directed to
SELL by PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart,
London, on TUESDAY, the 14th September, at Twelve, in
One Lot,
A SINGULARLY ELIGIBLE FREEHOLD
PROPERTY,

most especially adapted to invest capital without the slightest
risk, and with prospective advantages not a little encouraging,
beside having lots of game and an abundance of field sports.
It consists of
THE WHOLE OF THE TOWNSHIP
AND MANOR OF CARLTON,
independent of the
EXCLUSIVE SHOOTING OVER MORE THAN
TWO THOUSAND ACRES ADJOINING,

desirably situate seven miles from Bradford and seven from
Leeds, two manufacturing towns of great importance to con-
sume the produce of the land at high prices. The estate
extends to

ELEVEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY ACRES
OF LAND,

a large portion devoted to wheat and barley, with plenty of
good turnip and clover land. The prospect is at the present
moment (in spite of an adverse season) exceedingly encou-
raging, and speaks volumes in favour of the capability of the
soil. It is divided into

ELEVEN COMPACT FARMS,
with suitable buildings; several of them are of a superior
cast, and two or three would be irresistible to select from,
for a sporting man, since a moderate outlay would render
them suited to a gentleman's occupation ; again, the situa-
tion (to say nothing of its natural beauty) seems to claim in
an especial manner the attention of one inclined to field
sports. It would be impossible to select a preferable spot,
and there is a site originally contemplated for
A MANSION OF SOME IMPORTANCE. _
. .

with park-like grounds eigreiTt;eauTyandeiterii,ana much
of ornamental and full-grown timber around it. The views
from this delightful spot are irresistibly beautiful; the vale
is luxuriant, and the landscape, of great extent, is terminated
by York Minster. Plantations of luxuriant growth are dis-
persedly placed all over the estate, affording delightful pre-
serves for the game, and the shrubberies are in full growth
to adorn a shooting and hunting box.
THE TENANTRY are WEALTHY and CONTENTED,
and the

RENTAL CAPABLE OF GREAT IMPROVEMENT.
The farms are subject to a very low tithe and poor-rate.
The rental and annual value, to include the woods, may be
stated at about

FOURTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR.
The turnpike-road from Leeds to Otley, and from Bradford
to Harrogate, passes through the estate ; the rivers Aire and
Wharf, plentifully supplied with trout, are not far off; and
there are in full view ornamental waters, and a beauteous
valley clothed in luxuriance. Throughout
THE WEST-RIDING OF YORKSHIRE,
for its size and compactness, there is nothing can exceed this
property, and as a safe investment it is perfect. There is no
arrear, and the ensemble is so perfect as to justify Mr. Ro-
bins in strongly recommending it to early attention, obser-
ving that the bad taste that suggested any interference with
the corn laws is now buried in
" THE TOMB OF ALL THE CAPULETS,"
and a moneyed man will be accounted wise who prefers to
exchange his Three per Cents into terra firma with all prac-
ticable expedition.
