THE LORD LIEUTENANCY TO FOLLOW.
One word more at parting; respecting the Corn Bill. It
is now pretty well understood at the
ADMIRABLE AND STATESMANLIKE MANNER
by which SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART.,
has settled and put to rest for ever
THE INTRICATE QTESTION OF THE CORN BILL,
will incline all those who were sceptical before to agree with,
Mr. Robins, that terra firma (now fixed upon an immovable
rock by the pc.spicacity of the Minister) is infinitely prefera-
ble to Three per Cents. at 97; and Mr. Robins desires to in-
vite all such Capitalists as arc in search of the best invest-
ment extant, to give him personally the opportunity to ex-
claimed as app

cester, Cheltenham, Bath, and Liverpool ; of Mr. MOBx-0N

One of the last-mentioned Houses, which is occupied by
Mr. Fairelough, fronts Collingwood-street, and the other
eleven are behind, and form the west side of Drayton-street.
Both Lots are Copyhold of Inheritance.

THE DIDLINGTON ESTATE, ONE OF THE MOST
ELIGIBLE IN NORFOLK, AND, AS A SPORT-
ING ESTATE, IT IS NOT TO BE SURPASSED
THROUGHOUT ENGLAND. THE MANSION
AND PARK ARE OF A CORRESPONDING CHA-
RACTER-A DEMESNE OF 4,000 ACRES WITHIN
A RING FENCE-EXTENSIVE CHURCH PRE-
FERMENT-AND A SEAT IN PARLIAMENT IN
VIEW FOR WEST NORFOLK. THE POOR-
RATE VERY LITTLE, AND DIDLINGTON FREE
OF GREAT TITHES.

-/t/R. GEORGE ROBINS has the honour to announce
11 that he is favoured with instructions from
LORD BERNERS
AND THE HON. H. W. WILSON,
to SELL by PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction
Mart, in London, on THURSDAY, the Sth of June, at Twelve
o'clock, in One Lot,
A singularly IMPORTANT FREEHOLD PROPERTY,
with so many advantages connected with it, that it will be
difficult to condense only the leading features iu the limited
space of an announcement.
THE DIDLINGTON HALL ESTATE
may trace its renown from the period of Lord Berners, who
originally gave to it a character as
A SPORTING DEMESNE
THAT IT WOULD BE IN VAIN TO SEEK FOR
ELSEWHERE THROUGHOUT ENGLAND.
The quantity of game is absolutely without end ; and here
are the paddocks and course where Camarine, Lamplighter,
and Phosphorus, with many others of the best racers of their
day, were bred and trained ; in this respect rivalling
" Greece famed for generous steeds, for beauty more."
The numerous covers are so prolific that it is difficult (I,*
award a preference. The slaughter throughout the season is
quite fearful, and the profit from its countless head of game
aids materially the large revenue that is the subject of this
review. The Mansion in its outward form is unpretending,
but as a comfortable " Duke Dorn= " it will yield to few
in the county. There is a coziness prevailing throughout
that is rarely seen, vividly exemplifying the " Utile Dulci,"
and the accommodation extends to at least seventy guests,
who may repose here in comfort; and this necessarily re-
minds the writer that
A REPRESENTATIVE OF WEST NORFOLK
would find the Hall and Dining-room especially adapted to
the full enjoyment of a portion of his respectable Constitu-
ency; and "LA GRANDE CUISINE,"
and the
COOL TEMPERATURE OF THE CELLARS,
indicate that it is worthy to entertain the friends of the in-
dependent Member, who (if his principles be of the right
order) might perchance
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-
reens. 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
TWENTY ACRES OF " ORNAMENTAL WATERS,"
with fish of all sorts to a great extent; and hard by it
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 meadow lands.
THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT OF FISHING
is considerable ; and the depth of water, and extent of the
" Glassy bosom of the lake,"
render it quite equal to the enjoyment of
A LITTLE QUIET -YACHTING.
THE GARDENS ARE EXTENSIVE, with Hot Houses
and Melon Ground, and a prolific Orchard hard by.
THE VENERABLE CHURCH
is an appurtenance that aids materially
"THE SPLENDID LANDSCAPE AT DIDLINGTON,
AND THE BEAUTIFUL AVENUE OF LIMES"
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 having been confined alone to the pleasure and de-
light that encompass this fairy scene, and where imagination
pictures that

" There Titania dwells."
The Estate approaches
FOUR THOUSAND ACRES WITHIN A RING
FENCE, IN THE

_
H IGHEST 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 are 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. Ilere is
AN AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPE

that the possessor may well be envied the enjoyment of
The soil is exactly suited for Swede TUrnipi, and upon 300
acres an average of twenty tons per acre may be relied on,
independently of the White Turnip, which yields upon 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 farina that are let, may be estimated at about
THREE THOUSAND POUNDS A YEAR.
Next " in our dear love," as Shakspeare would have said, are
THE EXTENSIVE MANORS AND MANORIAL
RIGHTS,

from which there is amusement without end, and an income
without difficulty, extending. to 4)00 or £6OO a year, inde-
pendently of a liberal distribution of game to all who partake
of the sport.
THE CHURCH PREFERMENT,
which necessarily gives a consequence—an importance—to
every property, is considerable here. It includes
THE UNITED LIVING OF IGEOROUGH AND
LANGFORD,
THE RECTORY OF CRANWICK,
THE VICARAGE OF METHWOLD, and
THE 'VICARAGE OF DIDLINGTON, with
THE RECTORY OF COLVESTONE.
The Living at Didlington is also endowed with a valuable
Farm in an adjoining parish. The value of the Church Pre-
ferment may be estimated at
ELEVEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR.
There are on the property many excellent Cottages, in
which the tradespeople employed on the estate, and labour-
ers, find repose and comfort.
NORTH WOLD WATER-MILL,
England where heron hawking was
both useful and ornamental, is on the bank of the river, and
on the skirts of the park.

Lot 1. THREE SIXTEENTH SHARES oldie TERFYN
LEVEL LEAD MINE, situate at the east end
of, and adjoining the celebrated Talargoch Mine in the
county of Flint. A strong vein of Ore has already been dis-
covered by means of a Level, but that not being deep enough
to unwater the Mine effectually, a second and deeper Level
is now driving. The Mine is in one of the best mineral dis-
tricts, and is esteemed a most promising adventure. The
Ground leased to the company comprises upwards of 600
acres.

2.—Five TWENTY-NINTH SHARES of the TALA-
CRE LEAD MINE, which is a continuation of the above,
and is workei by means of an old Level, which has been re-
cently opened to one of the veins producing Ore. Another
Level is now in progress, and has already been driven up-
wards of 600 yards, with every prospect of cutting another
Vein in a short time. This Mine is considered a very va-
luable one, and there is every reason to believe it will very
soon be in profitable operation.

The Ground leased to this company comprises upwards of
800 acres.

3.—Four SIXTEENTHS of the BRYNFORD HALL
LEAD MINE, on the west end of, and adjoining the well
known Milwr Mine, near Holywell.
