WALK OVER THE COURSE

whenever a vacancy occurs in the representation of the county.
The Ice House, well filled, is amongst the host of agre-
mans. There are hot, cold, and shower Baths, and an en-
gine which supplies every part of the house with the purest
water; the most Fashionable Watering Places on the Eastern
Coast are within easy distance.
The Mansion is placed in the
CENTRE OF A FINELY-TIMBERED PARK,
ON THE BANK OF A SPLENDID LAKE,
which, with its luxuriant Plantation walk, approach nearly

THE DELIGHTFUL RIVER WISSEy,

progressing in silent stillness through the centre of this es.
tate, and by its irregular course not unfrequently forming its
boundary, besides occasionally throwing
" His thirsty arms along the indented meads,"

refreshing the meaaow lands.
THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT OF FISHING

is considerable ; and the depth of water, and extent of the
" Glassy bosom of tl.e lake,"

render it quite equal to tiro enjoyment of
A LITTLE QUIET YACHTING

THE GARDENS ARE EXTENSIVE, with Hot Houses
and Melon Ground, and a prolific Orchard hard by.

"THE SPLENDID LANDSCAPE AT DIDLINGTON,

renders this sacred spot one which inclines the writer to
exclaim, " TAKE IT FOR ALL IN ALL,
WE NE'ER MAY LOOK UPON ITS LIKE AGAIN.'.
The next point for consideration is the extent of the pro-
perty, and the great revenue derivable from it; the previous
remarks baying been confined alone to the pleasure and de-
light that encompass this fairy scene, and where imagination
pictures that _ _ _

The Estate approaches
FOUR THOUSAND ACRES WITHIN A RING
FENCE, IN THE .

HIGHEST POSSIBLE STATE OF CULTIVATION,
(and this sentence is used advisedly,) it having been managed
(with the exception of two farms, respectably occupied) un-
der the direction of the respected owner for the last fourteen
years, by a talented bailiff, regardless of expense, until its
present state could be achieved, a system which would have
met the approval and engrossed the poetic conceptions of
IMMORTAL HESIOD.

An erroneous prejudice has long existed that the land in this
vicinity is too light to be fruitful; it is Mr. Robins's pleasing
duty to correct this misapprehension by facts (which are
stubborn things).

THE STOCK 'OF SHEEP NUMBERS NEAR 3,000,
OF THE PURE SUSSEX DOWN,
and the average produce from this source, and the Cattle,
taking the last six years as an average, exceeds Nineteen
Hundred Pounds a year.

THE SUPERIORITY OF THE CATTLE
is proverbial, and the fact in its encouragement is demon-
strated by the yearly prizes that arc continually awarded at
Didlington for Sheep and " lordly Steers." It is almost in
vain to compete with Saul (the bailiff), and at this present
writing there is a Stock of
" The lowing herds and nibbling flocks,"
the Sussex Down, and Heifers and Cows, that seem to tran-
scend all that has gone before. Here is
AN AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPE

The soil is exactly suited for Swede Turnips, and upon 300
acres an average of twenty tons per acre may be relied on,
independently of the White Turnip, which yields upo❑ the
same quantity full as much. The Corn Land is very prolific
in " Ceres' bounteous store."

Four quarters of Wheat, " the golden grain," five of Barley,
giving promise of many a sweet " peck o' maut," and two
tons of Saint Foin Hay, are the usual returns ; and this, let
it be remembered, upon land that prejudice had erroneously
proclaimed to be poor and profitless. The produce upon the
whole estate, upon an average of the last six years, including
the farms that are let, may be estimated at about
THREE THOUSAND POUNDS A YEAR.
