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 most imposing buildings of the vici-
nity, and, in point of style and comfort, greatly exceeds the
pretensions of the generality of houses in Yorkshire. The
pleasure-grounds are disposed in admirable taste, with
romantic 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 luiuriated during a very long
period, and it may be observed that, although the house is
full of comfort, it is not too large for the views of a mode-
rate family. The rental is about
TWO THOUSAND POUNDS A-YEAR,

exclusive of the manors, the fishery and the value of its
' waters • and it is paid without a murmur. It is in the midst
of field sports ; with Lord Harewood's and three other packs
of fox hounds close at hand'

-----
THE ANCIENT CITY OF YORK IS WITHIN
FOURTEEN MILES,
and its majestic Minster, towering high, is seen for many
miles around. 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.
The high road from London to Edinburgh passes through the
estate.

THE TENANTRY ARE HIGHLY RESPECTABLE,
and of long standing. It is en verite the precise thing for a
sporting man, as the game is strictly preserved, in the midst
of fox covers hunted by the highest rank in the country ; and
the fishing as fine as any throughout Yorkshire. The neigh-
bourhood is remarkable for the high station of its leading
occupants ; although. there is abundant society for those who
would mix with the influential and yet soar not quite so high
as the great aristocracy. The river winds perpetually through
Al BEAUTIFULLY WOODED COUNTRY,
embracing a lovely valley, while from the park and homestead
a beautiful panorama, full of variety, is exhibited. In the
picture will be seen the little Matlock, the suspended baths
floating over the river, a peep. at the hot and cold baths, and
though last, not least, the salubrity of the air may be classed
amongst the never ending!igremens that claim a kindred feel-
ing here. In conclusion, it may safely be affirmed that for its
extent, capability, and the quality of the soil, it will not yield
to any contemporary through Yorkshire ; and this observa-
tion is made advisedly, Mr. R. having just had the gratifica-
tion of making his personal survey. It ought to be kept in
mind by all those who incline to a high rate of interest, that
the larger portion of the grass land adjoins the river, com-
mencing from
THE BRIDGE AT WETHERBY,
to Collingharu ; it would consequently 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 Wethetby, renders this a mat-
ter of certainty. The great portion of the property is
TITHE-FREE, AVD THE LAND TAX REDEEMED.
Particulars are,iff preparation, and will be ready 28 days
prior to the sale ; in the meantime Mr. Robins will be but too
happy to afford any additional information to those capitalists
who may be disposed to give him a visit. Also at the Salu-
tation, Wetherby ; Hotel, York; Royal Hotel, Leeds;
