Devonshire is proverbial for the superiority of its soil, but
it should seem that Nature has been immeasurably kind to
this property. The quality is really unsurpassable, and to
this it may be added,
THE TENANTRY ARE ALL FIRST-RATE MEN;
AND NOT A SOLITARY ARREAR UPON THE
ESTATE.

This may be'accounted aTlenionstration
"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 Babbecombe 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
WOODLAND SCENERY OF SURPASSING BEAUTY,
presents 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.

THE MANOR AND MANORIAL RIGHTS
(a court being held annually) will not be distegarded, 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 OCCOMBE 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 Farm-house and
Buildings. Connected, and in a separate lot, will be sold,
the Pool Mills and the Pool Fields, and
THE ENTIRE VILLAGE OF COLLATON.
Thus 'terminates a very imperfect representation. of the
most desirable investment of the county.—. Particulars
