THE NORTH MYMMS ESTATE

The splendid residence of Alderman Heygate some few
years since, and recently put into most elegant order in ac-
cordance with the Elizabethan style, by the rev. proprietor,
is to be offered to public competition, but not on the 22d
instant, as originally intended. The sale has been delayed,
by Mr. George Robins's advice, until the Gth ofJuly, incon-
sequence of the continued rains for the last two months.
This postponement enables us to give a short outline of our
learned friend's description of this " Nonpareil" (for such,
we learn, it is entiled to be called) :—The North Mymms
Park Estate has acquired, during the progress of time, a
fame and character arising out of peculiar advantages, with a
princely habitation upon a moderated scale, and one that for
its size will not succumb to any of its proud contemporaries.
In the olden times it was selected by the Dukes of Leeds as
a favourite abode, and the partiality increased so as to render
it a place in succession to this noble family, who were the in-
mates for inure than one hundred years. Since that it has
fallen into the hands of several proprietors, who have laid out
large sums in ornamental and substantial repairs, and espe-
cially the present worthy proprietor has incurred an enor-
mous outlay in rendering it now (it might justly be said)
faultless. The mansion was completed in the days of yore,
after the style and manner of Queen Elizabeth, and the
taste of this order of architecture, which was exclusively our
good Queen's, is at Mynnns a perfect tic simile. In its out-
ward form, it is of an imposing character, arid within, there
is that " which passeth show," for comfort in its most in-
telligible form prevails throughout. It is placed on a Lawn
of much extent and beauty, and iu the centre of a magnificently
timbered Park, where the variety of scene, and. the continued
tho ground, form oua of itei varied features.

" There's nothing left to fancy's guess,
You see that all is loveliness."
The rides and walks extend for miles within its own domain,
and the ornamental waters, full of fish, will be found an use-
ful auxiliary. The venerable church is so contiguous as to
be a most acceptable appendage, and its little unpretending
steeple is seen ever and anon peeping through the grove, and
completing a landscape that can hardly be appreciated, and
in no danger of being overrated. In connection with this
fine property the advantages seem to he without termination
—we will first begin with the manor of North Mymms, and
the consequence and importance belonging to the Lord of the
Manor, independently of the pecuniary advantages, arising
out of the quit rents, fines, &c. A court is held, connected
with the customs and duties of the manor. It is understood
to be co-extensive with the parish of North Mymms, which
is of very considerable extent, but the sport derivable from
the abundance of game, of which, on this estate, last season
more than one thousand head were shot, is of infinitely more
importance, and to a sporting man it will be music to his ear
to he informed of the various packs of hounds which fre-
quently enliven this vicinity. It may now be desirable to ar-
rest our progress into the varied agremens of North Mymms,
to make a few observations on the capabilities of the man-
skin. It has been so cleverly managed that, although a
viceroy might find abundant sources of enjoyment, and lack
nothing included in the expres,ive word comfort, there is a
total absence of that fearful annoyance, arising out of being
over-housed. The grand gallery, nearly 80 feet in length, is
accounted the best proportioned room in the country ; it is
not merely a show-room, but the most comfortable, habitable
room in the mansion. It is really a feature, and highly ap-
preciated by all who have seen it. This gallery seems origi-
nally to have been created with an idea that is now very
ik ely to be realised. The representation of St. Alban's is
in view, as a matter of course ; it is one of the multiplicity of
objects, that will accompany this purchase; one of " the
ways and means" inseparable from the next representation of
this borough. But to recur to the mansion—there is the
most abundant accommodation throughout—lots of conveni-
ence and bed-rooms for the domestics. Ten lofty bed-
ciambbeersa,wakeasitiaeid ; the hall of extraordinary beauty, isrcase of oak, a model whereon imitation
will
paved with marble ; it is-quite adapted to a dinner-room
through the summer and autumn months. The drawing-
rooms or Salons-a-Manger, are all in perfect keeping,
many fitted up in carved oak, and oak floors ; but it is to the
fact and singular judgment that has directed whole, to which
especial attention is requested. The expense has been enor-
mous, but good taste is so conspicuous, that it will never be
a source of regret. A magnificent conservatory and hothouse
are in connection with the second dining parlour, and all the
subordinate offices are in character. Within the court-yard
is everything to render a hunting establishment complete.
The gardens and pleasure gronnds are of considerable extent,
although two gardeners alone keep them in excellent order.
The lawn on one side is adorned by flowering shrubs, and a
variety of American plant ; on the other, the taste of the pro-
prietor has inclined to the encouragement of wild rabbits and
other game, which domesticate for hours in front of the prin-
cipal suite of rooms. The kitchen gardens are extensive,
and great care has been taken to secure the finest specimens
of fruit as well as vegetable. And an important feature sug-
gests itself, that will not be disregarded ; their exists a total
independence of the whole race of tradespeople, everything
essential to a family, beginninc, with killing the finest mutton,
and ending by the delicious gullini, are all in daily exercise
here.

A very valuable and useful apparatus is about to be intro-
duced into the navy which will be the means of preventing
the collision of 'steamers at night. By tt the (Anil WittiliCi or
the steamer, while on the bridge which connects the two
paddle-boxes, is enabled, without uttering a word, to direct
the man at the helm on the darkest night how to steer, with
the same facility as he now does in open daylight, with the
waive of his hand, and the same signal which directs the
helmsman how to put the helm also points out the position
of the helm to any other vessel that may be near, so that ves-
sels may be enabled to steer clear of each other without
chance of collision,
as each ship will know bow the other is
steering, and whether the helm is bard u-port or starboard.
—Morning Herald.

A strange and serious accident happened on Monday, at a
place callek Tai"ewydd.y-ffynnon, about a mile from Festin-
iog. A young man, named William Rowland, who lives
there, had been ill of a fever for about three months, but was
getting a little better. and was sitting at the door for the
second time out, when at 4 o'clock a stream of lightning en-
tered the chimney of a corner house, passed along the ratters,
splitting the partition, and struck a wainscot bed to pieces,
which tell on a sister of the young man, who was likewise
bedridden of a fever. Fortunately she escaped injury. The
lightning then went down stairs and out at the front door,
where the young man was sitting. It struck him below the
knee, cutting his foot and shoe through in a shocking man-
ner, and splitting the flag under his foot to pieces. The
young man is very ill as also is his sister, from the freight
occasioned by the shock.—Shropshire Journal.

SEVERAL PERSONS POISONED By MISTAKE.—On Tues-
day last the lives of the female portion of a respectable family
residing in Paisley-road, were put in imminent danger in the
following manner :—The house, it seems, is infested with
mice, and for the purpose of getting rid of them a quantity
of arsenic had been procured, and after being mixed with.
oatmeal, was placed in an easily accessible, but safe place,
that they might partake of the mixture. On Monday night,
however, the mistress of the mansion hearing the little quad-
rupeds in the kitchen, removed the poison to that part of the
house, without mentioning what she had done, and the con-
sequence was, that in the morning, the servant wanting a
small quantity of meal to make out the porridge, and seeing
what her mistress had set down quite at hand, to save herself
the trouble of going to the larder,
she used the whole of the
poisonous mixture, and with nearly fatal effect. Shortly
after partaking of the porridge, the female members of the
family were taken very ill, and the matter having been dis-
cussed, it was discovered from the statements of the mistress
and servant, what had occurred. Medical aid was procured,
emetics administered, and the patients were in consequence
in a great measure recovered, although they are still in a state
of considerable weakness.— Glasgow paper.
