to sell by PUBLIC COIMPETITION, at the Auction Mart,
in London, on THURSDAY, the 29th of June, at Twelve
o'clock, in One Lot,
THE WOODCHESTER ESTATE.

It has acquired a renown that will. relieve the Individual
who has the conduct of this Sale, from entering into a very
lengthened detail; in fact, he may be permitted, from this
circumstance-, to condense the infinite Variety of never-ending
beauties, and advantages, which are every where contending
for the rivalry, into a more limited space; premising,' ere he
encounters the H erculean task, that the Public must be con-
tent with an imperfect, although it shall be a.faithful narra-
tive of Woodchester.

with.Farsn-houses of a superior character, and a tenantry
that is perfectly unexceptionable. Probably one remark in
corroboration of the last sentence will be satisfactory. The
arrears on the Lady-day rents itre not quite £lOO. The

As taste will sonietimes differ, Mr. Robins would observe,
that the outward form is not incapable of improvement ; and

ments, he would add, that a Thousand Pounds would benefit
the extezior, by giving to it a niore imposing appearance, and
which cannot be denied to an abode that is seated in

greatly exceeding the fatigue by which it has been accom-
plished, and at the summit it would also appear that the

easy Royalties,) from the Crown, Sir William Stanley, Bart.,

which level terminates at its western extremity in a vein at
the depth of 150 yards from the surface. This vei❑ is known
to extend a considerable distance beyond the terminus of the
dav level, and that in ground hitherto unworked.

In addition to the value of this Property as a Lead Mine,
it is capable of producing monthly 300 or 400 tons of Black
Jack, or the Ore of Spelter, of an excellent quality, which
can be raised and shipped a: a very moderate cost.
This Sale is determined upon in consequence of several of
the Shares of deceased Proprietors being now in the hands
of Trustees and Exceut,m, who are directed to sell the same
for trust purposes.
All further information relative to the Mine may be had
on application to Mr. JAMES BOwEN, Agent, at the Mine ;
