LORD WENLOCK

to OFFER for SALE by PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the
Auction Mart, London, in the month of May,
THE BEILBY GRANGE ESTATE,
which has numbered more than two centuries in the family
of the present worthy possessor ; together with
THE MANOR OF MICKLETHWAITE,
the fishery abounding in salmon and trout, and about
ONE THOUSAND ACRES OF CAPITAL LAND.
As. it is intended to go infinitely more into detail shortly,
the present will be considered as partaking only of a slight
glance at a few of the leading advantages_ connected with this
renowned property. Beilby Grange Hall approximates upon
the respectable market town of Wetherby, and is quite equal,
and seems especially adapted to accommodate
THE M.P. FOR THE COUNTY.

Its approach, by a lodge of pleasing design, is from the
high London, Edinburgh, and Glasgow road, through a
finely-wooded park. It is erected of stone, and is accounted,
for its size, one of the nwst imposing buildings of the vicinity,
and, in point of style and comfort, greatly exceeds the pre-
tensions of the generality of houses in Yorkshire. The
gardens are all capital, with hot-houses and a conservatory ;
the pleasure grounds disposed in admirable taste, with ro-
mantic walks progressing through the hanging woods by the
side of the beauteous river. It is within this scene of delight
that CHRISTOPHER WILSON, ESQ.,
the Father of the Turf, has luxuriated during a very long
period, though the house is not too large for the views of a
moderate family. The rental is nearly
TWO THOUSAND POUNDS A-YEAR,
exclusive of the manor, the fishery, and the value of its
waters ; and it is paid without a murmur by a responsible
tenantry. It is in the midst of field sports, and Lord Hare-
wood's and three other packs of fox-hounds.
THE ANCIENT CITY OF YORK IS WITHIN
FOURTEEN MILES,
and its majestic Minster, towering high, is seen for many
miles around. The mansion, it may be remarked, has been
erected at an expense approaching £29,000, and the offices
are equal to any throughout the county. The River Wharfe
adjoins the property for three miles, and the value of the
water for machinery and mills is great beyond calculation ;
it is navigable to within five miles. and the York and North
Midland Railway, only seven miles off, will be completed in
twelve months, and then the distance from Beilby Grange to
the metropolis of London will be accomplished in ten hours.
Mr. Robins feels, however, he is exceeding the limit he
originally prescribed to himself for a short address, and will
conclude by an assurance, that for its extent, capability, and
the quality of the soil, it will not yield to any contemporary
through Yorkshire ; and this observation is made advisedly,
Mr. R. having just had the gratification of making his personal
survey. It ought to be kept in mind by all those who incline
to a high rate of interest, that as the larger portion of the
grass land adjoins the river, commencing from
THE BRIDGE AT WETHERBY,
to Collingham, it would be let to build upon at exceedingly
high prices. The result of the sale of
THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE'S PROPERTY,
when he alienated the town of Wetherby, renders this a mat-
ter of certainty. The great portion of the property
IS TITHE-FREE, & THE LAND TAX REDEEMED.
Particulars are in preparation, and will be ready simul-
taneously with the enlarged advertisement in March ; in the
meantime Mr. Robins will be but too happy to afford any
additional information to those capitalists who may be dis-
posed to pay him a visit.,
Covent-garden, January.
