FOR SALE.

n WILL sell my beautiful estate in VIRGINIA.
!. known as WOOD PARK, formerly owned by
Purser Thornton. 1t contains 1872 acres; is dis
,ant about 80 miles from Orange Court House /:
IL miles north of Montpelier, the seat of Mrs
Madison; 80 miles north Of Monticello, the for
mer residence of Mr.. Jefferson, and lS miles cas-,
OF the Blue Ridge, which is in full view. Its
precise situation may be found on any map show
ing the junction Of the rivers Rapid Ann and
Robson, as the former bounds the property on
the west.
The soil of Wood Park is some of the very
best in Virginia, being known as the I" red soil OF
the South West Mountain," and is in many res
poets, not unlike that of Lancaster Co., Penn.
and Hartford, Conn. Having purchased this es-
tate TO crafty the wishes of my family, and par
licularly those OF my eldest son, who was in
structed by scientific English farmer, our eff
forts and money have been freely expended for
nearly four years in It's rapid improvement; hence
ii has not hitherto proved lucrative. lts prince
ly estate, but frankness demands Of me TO say
that - Gentleman Farmer" should possess some
income from otRer sources, to render him entirely
comfortable.
This Farm must be seen 10 be appreciated; but
will remark that ii is well adapted to all agri-
cultural purposes. 1t is well wate-ed and wood
ed, is also well stocked with fine horses, cattle,
sheep, hogs, &c. &C., and would sustain from the
shorlness Of winter, 5000 sheep, for which pur-
pose it is admirably adapted. The buildings,
lences, and implements of husbandry, are ample
and good, and the field and house servants are OF
The very best description, and will only be sold
to kind master, with their entire consent. In
justice to Northern purchaser | must say, in
sober truth, that the masters and misiresses COM
prise oil the sidres in Virginia.
My wish is 10 sell the Estate and every thing
appertainng TO it, even 10 the furnished ii louise
and the growing crops if desired-and l am re-
Gently advised by my son, the manager, that we
have, among other crops, field of 100 acres o
winter wheat OF unusual promise.
| The climate Of w God Park is perhaps unsur
passed in any country, both for frulluness anc
health. Pulmonary complaints are unknown il
! that region.
! My price is thirty thousand dollars 100000
Tor the whole property described, including tn
furnished House, Pictures, Library, the CROWN!
crops, and family and barn stores on hand and
not sold previous TO the 20th day of June-il will
be offered at public sale on that day. The till
of the property is perfect, and it is free from al

great pleasure in making them acquainted will

On the l7,h May Lord Brougham introduced the
subject OF Texas " annexation" in the House Of
Lords by an inquiry Of Lord Aberdeen if he had
any definite information with respect 10 the an.
nexation of Texas to the United States. This
was question of vast importance, SO far as the
abolition OF slavery was concerned, and he trust
cd that Congress would oppose it. Nothing
which had dropped from him, or the noble lord
at the head of the Foreign Department, even JUS
siaed the inference that England, although depo-
ring the existence of slavery. ever contemplated
any interference with the institutions of America
The Earl of Aberdeen replied that a precise
answer to the question asked could not be ex-
pected from him. 1t was subject quite new
and unexampled in the history Of nations, and
would receive the most serious attention of her
Majesty's Government. TWAS true, he believed
that the treaty for the annexation of Texas to the
United States had been signed; but he agreed in
the hope expressed by his noble and learned
friend that the majority of Congress would no,
agree TO the ratification Of it. Al present, he
could not speak with confidence on the subject !;
but, when the time came, he should state his OPT
mons to the House, and act consistently with his
duty as Minister Of the Crown. Nothing that
he or the noble lord opposite had ever said, could
justify the suspicion that they intended to inter.
fore with American institutions.
