DESIRABLE CITY RESIDENCE FOR SALE.-By refer
ence to auction columns, it will be perceived that
pleasant mansion and eighteen building lots are to be
offered for sale this afternoon, Richmond Hill. The
advertisement, though seemingly fordin its descriptive
portions, does nothing than justice to the
mandng location of the mansion house. 1t is really
one of the most beautiful places in this picturesque and
beautiful city, and in the hands ofa gentleman otaste
and lberay, might be rendered of the most desi
rable private residences in the State. We anticipate
large company at the sale and shall be disappointed
the mansion and surrounding property be not the sub
iect Of spiritng competition.
