By HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL LETTERS PATENT. TAWES'S PATENrURNIP MANURE. Professor WAY, the consulting Chemist to the Royal Agricultural Society, and Dr. Voelcker, the con- sulting Chemist to the Bath and West of England Agricultural Society, have conjointly analysed the bulk of 7,000 tons of Lawes's Patent Turnip Manure, at the Factory, in London, and have certified that it con- tains, on an average, 23 to 24 per cent of SOLUBLE PHOSPHATE, 12 per cent of INSOLUBLE PHOSPHATE, and by the time it comes into the hands of the Farmers will contain at least 26 per cent of SOLUBLE PHOSPHATE. This is the highest testimony that can be given in favour of any Fertilizer, and demonstrates, in the plainest possible manner, that LAWES'S PATENT TURNIP MANUKK stands pre-eminently at the head of all Manures for the Turnip, Mangold, and other Roots.

A more lovely spot than this to erect a cottage upon, it would be difficult to find, as the scenery is so perfectly picturesque and enchanting. The beautiful river Usk, to renowned for its fishing, is within a few minutes walk. The land is exceedingly rich and fertile, and has been excellently farmed and managed by Mr. Matthews, the tenant. There is some excellent thriving young Timber on the property, which will be sold with the estate, and there is also a useful Dwelling House and Buildings. It would be impossible, within the limits of these particulars, to set forth the beauties of this little property—it must be seen to be duly appre- ciated. Lot 3.—This lot is also a most desirable and eligible property, and is called 11 LLANLLECRA," or" LLAN- LLECHA ISHA," also situate in the parish of Tredun- nock, and about a mile from lot 2.

This little property, like Lot 2, is most beautifully situated in the midst of most lovely and enchanting scenery. The noble river Usk flows at the foot of one of the fields, and like lot 2 it would be impossible to do it justice in the limits of these particulars, but it must be Been to be adequately appreciated. Lot 4.—Thesp small properties called PENTRB- WAIlf" and COBD-NORMAN," are situate in the parish of Llanbaddock, and though of small extent, are well worthy the attention of the small capitalist seeking a safe and sound investment for his money. The land is of excellent quality, dry, rich, and fertile, with an Orchard of Fruit Trges in full bearing and there is also a comfortable Cottage and Buildings. Pentre- Wain contains 6a. Ir. 15p. according to the tithe map and book of apportionment of Llanbaddock, and Coed Norman, 6a. Or. 2p.

Coed Norman is the most valuable Ash Coppice Wood in the parish, and now of about 10 years' growth, and would in all probability repay the pur- chaser the fee simple on being cut and sold when at maturity, and there is a full complement of young Oak Timber Stores in it.
