THE TOWN OF BRIGJATON

owes a long arrear of debt and grati^ de in Mr. Robins's
highly-respectable client. It is onger a question of
doubt, that by his purse and his p severance, his tact and
his judgment, this important town as acquired a renown,
a station among Watering Places, that consigns all others to
the shade ; and it would be idle to suppose it would have
attained this without the vast exertions, the energy of mind,
and liberal expenditure displayed by Mr. Kemp. The Un-
finished Houses which are the subject of this Sale are almost
the only portion of this vast and splendid town that have not
arrived at completion, and at this moment there is not a
single furnished residence to be obtained—compare this fact
with the dreary prospect of by-gone days, and it will not
need " the Ghost of Hamlet" to promulgate the fact, that
Kemp Town is now one of the best speculation in England.
The Aristocracy, and those who are the highest. in rank and
opulence, have for the two last years preferred;tticongregate
at this, the seat of fashion and opulence. ' In KEMP
TOWN, SUSSEX SQUARE, and LEWES qI3,ESCENT,
there are NINE MANSIONS ; two of them are occupied.
Some of them are not yet completed ; but the doubt that
prevailed in by-gone times of the success of this great enter-
prise, is long since buried in the tomb of all the Capulets,
and the fame and success of Kemp Town are alike prover4al,
Next may be mentioned the splendid abode denominated the
CELEBRATED TEMPLE, near to MONTPELIER,
erected by Mr. Kemp for his own abode, at an expose ex-
ceeding Fifteen Thousand Pounds. For its cox:reef. taste,
substantiality, and convenience, it will yield to very few in
the vicinity ; it is environed by its extensive Grounds, with
Offices of every class, and is leased for eight more years to
the Rev. Mr. FENNELL, at the inadequate rent of £3OO a
year. This Classical Structure is entirely adapted to the
occupation of a Nobleman. It is full of comfort, and con-
structed especially to gixe effect to those who would lint in
the busy world of fashion. It partakes of the most delight-
ful scenery that can be well conceived, varied by sea and
land prospects, that it would be in vain to look for elsewhere.
Indeed a man of rank would repose here without finding a
single want. Again the SPLENDID FREEHOLD EDI-
FICE, called CHICHESTER HOUSE. It approaches
Kemp Town. There is nothing to intervene but Chichester
Terrace ; the situation is, therefore, unquestionably good.
It is demised for some years to the Rev. Dr. PROCTOR, a
tenant unexceptionable in every way, at the moderate rent
of £320 a year. If the Reverend Divine should be inclined
at an early period to retire from the fatigue and profit of his
first-rate establishment, the mansion would be found alto-
gether appropriate to all the legitimate wants of a nobleman
and family of distinction.

The ALBION MEWS in ST. JAMES'S-STREET, one
of the best appointed Livery Yards in Brighton. Within
the space are 53 capital Stalls, standing for 17 Carriages, a
small Residence, and an open space. It is greatly underlet
at £l5O a-year, but the lease expires in 18 months, when
250 guineas may be contemplated. Also Nos. 6,7, and 8,
in ST. JAMES'S-STREET, three Freehold Houses and
Shops, producing £195 a-year ; they are very much under-
let. Also the Freehold GROUND RENTS arising from
abundant security, and including nearly the whole of Henry-
street, and three Houses in Edward-street, close to St.
James's-street ; the Ground Rent £194 ; the value about
TWO THOUSAND A-YEAR. Next in succession, al-
though first in value, is

THg FREEHOLD LANDED ESTATE, EXTENDING

TO SIX HUNDRED AND TEN.ACRES

Of this invaluable Property, some slight impression will he
given by the fact, that it includes nearly ALL THE UN-
COVERED FREEHOLD LAND OF THE WHOLE
PARISH OF BRIGHTON, by which the original plan of
increasing this Town can alone be carried out, and thus
consummate the Herculean task which the vast mind of the
Proprietor originally aspired at. The Brighton Railway
comes in aid of his plan, and renders complete success no
longer equivocal ; as a building operation, everything else
in progress will hide its diminished head. This observation is
made advisedly, and will be demonstrated by a cursory
view of the beauty of the Sea and Land prospect, the
interminable frontages, and its close connection with the
Railway Station. The Estate extends from Kemp Town to
the Montpelier Road • it includes SEVERAL FARMS
APPROACHING AND ADJOINING THE TOWN OF
BRIGHTON, abutting on the Lewes, and bounded by
Turnpike Roads in every direction. The lands that approach
the Railway Terminus, and include the MONTPELIER
GROUNDS, are by nature designed to create upon it the
AUXILIARY TOWN. Its success as a building operation
upon a large scale cannot admit of doubt. The countless
thousands of inhabitants of London, and throughout Eng-
land, who will be seduced by the convenience and rapidity
of the Raiway to pay a visit to Brighton seem to render
this a matter of necessity, and consequently a certainty to
a speculator, and its close approximation upon the Terminus
gives it a preference to which none other can aspire. Then,
and with a view to give an additional character to this im-
portant sale,

THE BRIGHTON RACE COURSE IS INCLUDED.
This, alone, is computed at ONE HUNDRED AND
FIVE ACRES, and will be an irresistable feature at the
Auction. And, lastly, in JUBILEE-STREET, near to
NORTH-STREET, Two Livery Yards, very complete, with
nine Stalls ; standing for Carriages,cand all the appointments
of a Job Master and Blacksmith. The value, £lOO a-year.
The reader will, perhaps, think enough as been said to en-
list all those who have money at command to be competitors
at this Sale, but the detail is not yet at an end.
The Lands are allPreehold, free from Tithes ; the Land
Tax on the whole is Redeemed ; the entire Property is
Exempt from Highway Rates ; and the Railway passes
through it.
This is a combination so rare that it will not fail to be ap-
preciated ; and Mr. Robins is instructed that the sale of the
whole will be positive.
Particulars and Plans are in active preparation, and when
ready may be had of Mr. Faithful, Solicitors to the Vendor,
Ship-street, Brighton; also at the Old Ship, and the Libra-
ries in the Town ; of Mr. Harris, Agent, Kemp Town, and
Mr. Edwards, Upper North Street; the Libraries at Wor-
thing ; the Waterloo Hotel, Liverpool ; the Manchester
Times Office, Manchester ; the Royal Hotel, Cheltenhan► ;

Offices, London.

these volumes have great merit. The reader who has once
