GEORGE ROBINS has the gratification to announce that it has been his good fortune to be selected to SELL BY AUCTION, at the Mart, in London on THURSDAY June 20, at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot, the renowned and far famed PIERCEFIELD ESTATE. The only alloy to the pleasure with which he is impressed grows out of the knowledge that his powers may be found inadequate to pourtray in suitable terms the infinite variety of contending beauties that have long been conceded as the exclusive inheritance of- Piercejield. There is, however, one solace, which he greets with no small delight; it is in the simple fact that historians have for a lengthened period given to it such unqualified approbation that the humble portraiture which is to follow will. at least, be free from any supposition that Mr. Robms has in the smallest degree drawn upon fancy's sketch." If this announcement were intended alone for those who have seen this envied place," enough has already been said but as there are multitudes who have not had this good fortune, the attending observa- tions are especially directed for tbelrreore immediate atten- tion and first, it may be observed, the Mansion is in the centre of A FINELY-WOODED PARK; it is substantially erected of stone, and so ingeniously con- structed that the views are in no way interrupted. It declines irregularly to the BANK OF THE WYE, and from a variety of situations the confluence of the two great Rivers, the Severn und the Tye, is brought into view. A beautful lawn falls precipiiately every w y into a deep vale. The declivities are diversified with groves and clumps of trees scattered in pleasing negligence, and leading to the Terrace Walk, through woods and walks, which open beyond it upon those romantic scenes which surround the Park, and are aptly termed the Glory of Piercefield." The accommodation within this elegant domicile of com- fort is in proportion to all the just expectations of a Nobleman's family. An East Indian, weary of attendant toils in accumulatin wealth, and with a constitution necessarily impaired, will find all the agremens which the professors, learned in the mystery of physic, wouldsnggest for his early restoration to health. the Hotwells at Bristol (although not far off) cannot claim superior pretensions. There is a Terrace Walk of if\ree_ approximating upon the River, and from this Elysium the views everywhere are beauteous and varied. The white rocks of Lancant here lose their rugged form, and harmonise with the scenery beneath the town and CHEPSTOW CASTLE. From the alcove woods o'erhanging the steep bauk of THE GOLDEN WYE the scene appears one of enchantment rather than reality. The green freshness of all around, the meandering of the rapid stream below, the opposite amphitheatre of cliffs and Banegar rocks, with Windcliff in its termination, towering one above the other, contrasted with the quietude of the luxuriant vale below, where the meadows, green as emerald, each contend for the prize. The sublimity here imparted, the never ending variety, the gigantic efforts of Nature, and the pictorial effects, must be seen to be adequately felt: and, to add to the variety and interest of the scene, Peter and the other Apostles are adroitly carved in the rocks, to which the passing sailor never fails to pay his homage. In traversing this interesting spot along the extended walks, and luxuriant plantations, the mind is filled, ever and anon, with wonder and admiration. The hollow glens below, the fearful precipices, the Giant's Cave, where for many a long year and wintry night he has presided over this soflemn scene, until an avalanche rudely disturbed the stone from which he used to overawe his fearful auditory, Druid's Cave, the Cold Bath, and Grotto, terminating with the Lover's Leap, extended through a thick mantle of forests; indeed the scenic beauties that press on the enraptured sight, surpass the possibility of narration without encountering the false notion that too much has been saitt:" The river murmuring over strong beds of stone, thickly clothed ravines, where the hawthorn and the hazel mingldwith the dark green holly, and proudly surmounted by the monarch of the forest, present to the eye a heautifully-vatifed surface of undulated foliage the gracefully waving £ fcrn, scattered over the foreground, impart such an -air ofrempered wildness as mU!lt gratify the correct eye of the leftr of scenery, without offence to those who are inclined tol6ok rather for evidences of the super- intending hand of* ckrc and cultivation. After lingering awhile upon the stupendous cliffs and Windcliff rocks, the littleness of human,&tt, it will be seen, was never placed in a more humiliating point of view. The Castle of Chepstow (once a noble fortress), as compared with these natural bulwarks, sinks into absolute nothingness. There is all enormous pile of ruins which seem to be the remains of a city, while the smaller ones appear to be fainter traces of the former extend and strengthen the similitude; it stretches along the tftow which terminates the Forest of Dean, and, in an opposite direction, the venerable ruins of the famed Tintern Abbey add an interesting feature to the scene. The view from the Mansion is soft, rich, and beautifully picturable. The rocks not being distinguishable here, all is quiet and repose. From the upper Lawn the cultivated hills and rich vallies of Monmouthshire, backed by the Mendip Hills, are seen with great interest; but Mr. Robins feels that he is exceeding the usual limit of an advertisement, and therefore reiiictantly quits this most imperfect sketch, by adding that the domain EXCEEDS TWO THOUSAND ACRES. divided into convenient Farms, from which a large revenue is derived. He may, however, be permitted to add, that he trusts this Fairy Land will be transferred into hands who will think with him that all income of TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR is a great auxiliary, but will appreciate infinitely beyond it the splendid scenerv with which it is encompassed. THE WHOLE IS FREEHOLD. It can only be viewed with particulars. A drawing and plan will accompany it, for which 2s. bd. will be charged; and to prevent idle curiosity (and with this view alone) no one can be admitted without. They may be had one month before the sale, at the Beaufort Arms, Chepstow; the Bush, Bristol the York House, Bath; Robert Evans, Solicitor, Chelpstow and at each of the Lodge entrances also, in London, at the Auction Mart^ of Messrs.

ISLE OF WIGHT, In the most esteemed part of Bonchurch. EAST DENE, the well-known Gothic Villa and Domain of Harry Surman, Esq. .L: be l&olfc bLo nuction, i By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, At the Auction Mart, LONDON, on THURSDAY, July 11, 1833, in one lot, I^HIS singularly rare and valuable FREEHOLD PROPERTY may be unhesitatingly designated the most perfect Bijou within the three kingdoms. To East Indians and all valetudinarians who have accumulated wealth at the expense of their health, this favoured spot is especially adapted. The South of France scarcely equals, in its salutary in- fluence, and cannot exceed the Uudercliff. It is a short drive of eleven miles from Ryde or Newport, and in this space the traveller accomplishes what the most sanguine could contemplate, after a tedious voyage to Madeira. THE ISLE OF WIGHT is ested emefor the salubrity of its air, and the back of the Island has always been accounted THE GRAND DESIDERATUM. It now becomes expedient to particu larise the place under consideration, and first it may be as well to observe, that it is constructed upon the pure Eliza- hethian Order of Architecture. The taste that directed the completion of Eton Hall (which is quite in the Gothic style) is especially observed here, except that (upon a limited scale) it far exceeds any thing that modern writers have conceded to the Hall alluded to In the island it has long been considered the pet place, as it lacks nothing that consummate taste and a liberal and profuse expenditure could accomplish. It is comprised in a little demesne of ABOUT FORTY TWO ACRES. The grounds so are romantic and beautiful, and in such perfect order, that Repton would be proud to acknowledge them as his own there is such a never-ending variety—so much of inequality the verdant lawns, the scenic beau'ies. and the woodland scenery "H,n such a rare combination of all that is singularly beautiful, it may claim to approach FAIRY LAND. Those who have seen it will not fail to give their unbiassed sanction to this moderate praise. The tow. ering hills, the fearful rocks and cascades forming a termi. nation to this seat of quietude and repose, would require a talent infinitely surpassing the humble pretensions of the writer to do it justice amid the luxuriant shrubbery walks, and fruitful plantations, winter appears a stranger;" the American plants display a green freshness and heahhful- ness that snrpass belief; the shelter of the undercliffs, after quitting the open and elevated aown, may remind the Italian traveller of his sensation on entering The Valley of Domodosalla," after quitting the chilly defiles of the Simplon it is at once a new climate, and the vegetable world demonstrates that these first impressions upon the senses are not deceitful, for the whole tribe of Exotics flourish during winter in the open air, and snow, with its other disagreeable accompaniments, is so rare as hardly to live in our remembrance. It may be well to observe, that while profound taste is exhibited without, the influential power of tact and wealth combined are most conspicuous within it is almost a service of danger to dwell upon the varied exhibition which the eye has to encounter in every direction it can alone be appreciated hy refined taste. Money in this. as in all other cases, was indispensable; wealth is attainable by many, but it is suggested, and with all the positiveness of truth, that the splendid, the gigantic efforts of knowledge and research so prominent everywhere, could alone be attained by a mind singularly endowed with respect and admiration of the works of the oldentimes." The whole of the interior is of solid oak; the furniture throughout exhibits specimens of carving, that even the classical taste of Mr. Beckford will venerate and acknow- ledge; the windows of this abode are all of the finest painted glass, shedding throughout their dim and religious light, and above all, there is such good keeping every where, the tout ensemble harmonises so perfectly, that with- out the aid of a new dictionary it would be found exceedingly e difficult to find works to do it moderate Justice. It may he well, by way of conclusion, to observe, that in the midst of so much ancient and uurivalled taste, the word comfort will be found a proud auxiliary—nothing which this com- prehensive term can suggest is a stranger here. The offices are fully commensurate to all legitimate purposes, both within and without, and in the midst of shady groves will be found the secluded hermitage, and an ice house in the extensive Gardens. A little fortune has been expended in producing the finest specimens of which the Horticul- tural Gardens are capable. The range ot Conservatories and Hot and Succession Houses contribute to render this little paradise independent of the expence connected with Covent-garden luxury indeed it were next t6 impossible to enumerate a single feature of utility winch is not con- spicuous here; but let the reader judge for himself, and Mr. Robins feels assured that he will return expressing a decided conviction that the picture has been throughout very im- perfectly portrayed. A drawing and plan have been exe- cuted, and will accompany the particulars of sale, at 2s. 6d. each, fo prevent improper intrusion and idie curiosity (and with this view alone) no one can be admitted without this description—the hours from twelve to six, always excepting Sundays. paitieulars are preparing, and may be had about the middle of May, at, the York House, Bath the Dolphin, Southampton George, Portsmouth at the lodge entrance of Harry Surnam, Esq. Solicitor, Lincoln's inn at the Auction Mart; and at Mr. GEORGE ROBINS Offices, Covent-garden, London.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MAY 16. A considerable number of petitions were presented for the better observance of the Sabbath. THE LATE FATAL AFFRAY IN COLD DATH FIELDS. Mr. ROEBUCK said that previous to the late meeting in Cold Bath Fields a placard had been stuck lip announcing that the meeting was illegal. He wished to know whether this placard issued from the Secretary of State's Office, and whether the hon. gentleman opposite would lay on the table the evidence on which it was founded. Mr. LAMB said the placard did issue from the home office under the sanction of Lord Melbourne, but he would not undertake to lay the evidence on the table, because it was under consideration whether some leoal proceedings might not take p|ace Mr. ROEBUCK strongly condemned the conduct of Miuisters. In his opinion, there never had been a more contemptible meeting, (Loud cries of hear) and there had been no occasion for affright, ,,or the slightest ground for alai m .Hear, hear), much ,ess for the most improper interference of the po'ice The people for the last three years had been indulged in public meetings.

He would not say ruffians, they w'ereonly policemen. (Cheers and a laugh.) The meeting wa^ in this way raised into importance; violent proceed- ings took place, and a loss of l,fe Was the melnneholj result. „r sir S.YVHALLEY gave not.ee that he should on 21st May next, move for the repeal of the house and window taxes. CROWN LANDS IN IRELAND Mr. O,CONNELL enquired whether it were true that, in a recent trial between the Crown and the Lord Primate of Ireland, the Chief Baron of the Irish I Court of Exchequer bad desired the jury to be paid 378l before they dehvered their verdict Lord DUNCANNON took occasion' to repel the blame that been cast against his Majesty's advisers of instituting in this case a vexatious trial. The fact was that the suit was instituted by the noble lord (Lowther) who preceded him in office. With respect to the payment to the jury, the case was, that when the jury had been charged they retired, but the fore- man returned into conrt, and said they would not give a verdict unless they knew who was to pay them. After some conversation the Solicitor for the crown said, if the judge thought the crown ought to pay the costs, he would at oncc do it, The order was conse- quently made Mr. SHAW and Mr. LEFROY vindicated the learned judge against the imputations which had been thrown upon him. Several documents relative to the trial were afterwards moved for, and ordpred. Sir R. PEEL hoped that as a motion affecting him. self personally was about to be made, and he was re- maining in London for the purpose of meeting that motion, the hon member for Lincolnshire would con- sent to waive the priority of his motion as to the duty on insurance of farming stock, &c. Lord ALTHORP begged to state that lie was willing to remove all necessity for the bon. member's motion, by consenting to a repeal of the duty. Mr. COBBETT brought forward his motion for an address to the Throne, requesting that his Majesty would dismiss from his councils the right hon. Sir R. Peel. The grounds upon which the hon. member for Oldham submitted this extraordinary motion to the consideration of the house, were stated by him in a resolution which occupied him more than a quarter of an hour in reading, but thesubstauce of which is com- prised in the following sentences:- That by the laws the King could do no wrong; that t.o prevent the King's name from being used to work injustice to the people, it was necessary that the ministers of the crown should he really, and, in fact, responsible for his acts; that the act of 1619, by which the paper currency of he country was changed for a gold one, had inflicted a great wrong upon the people; that Sir Robert Peel, then one of the ministers of the crown, as the author of the bill, was the cause of IQtlch calamity to the country, and that it was incumbent on the house -to mark their sense of the right Hon. baronet's conduct hy addressing his Majesty, praying him to dismiss the right honourable baronet from his councils." The motion was seconded by Mr. FIELDEN. After some conversation the house proceeded to a divi^on, when the motion was negatived by an over- whelming majority, the numbers being-for its adop. tion 4, for its rejection 298. Lord ALTIIORP moved that the resolution proposed by the hon. member for Old ham shon'd be expunged from the journals. Upon this proposition the house also came to a division, Thi? it9 0pini°U of the original question, Lord Althorp'. propos.t.on being cJried by a ma- jority of 29d to 4.

The Royal Assent was given'by cotnifeion to the Personal Estates Bill, the Cotton thity Repeal Bill, b-m y ^I,1» txcbeq,jer Court (Scotland) Bill, and several private bills. Several private bills were brought up from the Commons>4 advanced a The Earl of ABERDEEN moved for relurns of the wines imported into this country for the last five years to 5th January, 1833, distinguishing wine »iul the duty paid. 3 After a few observations from Lord A tlC&LA:.» and Lord ELLENBOROUGH the motion Was agreed to. The Earl of WICKLOW moved for a return of the number of parishes in Ireland, in which composition of tithes had been effected by commissioners appointed by the Lord Lieutenant. After a few words from the Marquis of LANSDOWNE and Lord CARBERY, the returns were ordered. The Duke of WELLINGTON, in presenting several petitions praying for the gradual aboliton of slavery, said he had nothing to do with West India property, but he believed that the commerce of the country and the private fortunes of individuals were involved in the measure brought forward by the government, who had incurred a great responsibility. Lord SUFFIELD stated, that though the abolition- ists, whose cause he espoused, were williug to give relief" to the colonial proprietors in case they should sustain loss by the emancipation of the slaves they could not recognize the principle of men having the right of property in their fellow creatures, and therefore could not agree to allow compensation. In a discussion on the subject of tithes, Lord SUF- FIELD denied that the church of England assisted in promoting Christianity amongst the slaves. The dis- senters had made great efforts to promote sciiptural instruction, and the reason the church of England was popular with the West India proprietors was, that her ministers did less to promote Christianity than any other class of clergy. The Marquis of BUTE could not sit still and hear such an attack upon the established church. If the noble lord had read the report published by the society for the religious education of negroes, supported by the established church, with as much care us the noble lord had read other reports, be would not have made such a charge against the church of England.

Mr. W. W.WHITAIORF, a t et* a prefatory speech of some length, moved two resolutions relative to the corn laws, stat.ng that the present law, while it failed o confer permanent benefitthe' affricalturist, tt\° "nPf,,r ?e P^ects of the country; and that an alteration, on the priucip,e of a ro„derate fixed duty, would afford protection to the agricultural interest, and greatly improve the trade and increase the manufactures and prosperity of the country. The hon. member admitted that, under the peculiar cir- cumstances of this kingdom, and especially of Ireland, it would not be expedient to throw the trade in corn quite open to foi-ei,ti competition; but he contended that a fixed duty on wheat of 1Os. a quarter would afford all the protection required, and by preventing the great fluctuations in price wcuki be a benefit to the farmer, whilst it would encourage the foreign grower to export to this country, as he could then know with certainty the duty to be imposed on its in- troduction. The increased importation of corn would, he further contended, occasion a larger consumption of our manufactures abroad, and produce increased employment for the working classes at home. Mr. HUME maintained that the agricultural in- terest had no special claim for protection, and moved an amendment nearly to the same effect as the original motion, but omitting that part of the resolution de- claring the agriculturist to be subjected to peculiar burthens. Lord ALTHORP admitted that the present corn laws had not, in his opinion been so advantageous to the landed interest as was expected. Whenever the ports were opened, the price of foreign corn rose 10 proportion, so that the idea, that by throwing them open corn was made cheaper, was found to be a fallacy. He should not object to a revision of the Present system but objected to the bringing forward of a motion on such au important question at a time when there was no chance of its being brought to a satisfactory termination duriiig the session. Mr. A. BARING, in opposing the motion, deprecate j the course pursued by his Majesty's ministers in having the house in a state of uncertainty as to their "ILL intentions respecting the agriculiural interest FHE SHIPPING interest, and 'in fact every great interest in the country. The qnestion of agricultural protec- tion was one of degree, into which he was not prepared AT P«"esent to enter but he found on enquiry, that though the manufacturing interest was far from nourishing, the agricultural classes were much more distressed. It was the duty of government, N0T TQ proceed upon speculative theories, but to protect the substantial trade and industry of the country. The effect of this motion would be to cut off from the very root the agricultural employment of the people, in expectation of gaining advantages to our manufactur- ing interests from other countries, whose whole fiscal arrangements had shown a jealousy of Britsh manu- factures. Jf it were supposed that this plan would prevent fluctuations in the price of corn, the expe- rience of the last ten years, which showed that in France the fluctuations had been at least double what they have been in England, must convince us that the pan would utterly fail. Lord PALMERSTONsaid that the present was not a proper period to explain the final intentions uf ministers on the question. Col. WOOD condemned the course pursued hy the noble lord (Althorp) on the present question. So lon»- as this question was discussed merely for the sake of* discussion, so long would the country be ag'iiated, without receiving the slightest benefit. The hall. member for Middlesex appeared to him to argue upon a strange doctrine, when he said that if a I Os. duty on corn were adopted, there would be an increase in the revenue to the amount of otie million. The house should know how long the protective system had con- tiuued. It originated as far back as the reign of Charles 11. and by comparing the price of corn at that time with the preseat, it would be found that the pro-, lection which the agricultural, interest enjoyed at piesent, was not greater than the change of prices warranted. The hon. and gallanrwieniber hoped that no other individual would agitate this question titilesw some practical measure was contemplated. Lurd G. SOMERSET said that a majority of his constituents of the county of Monmouth were iu favour of protection, and he felt bound to oppose the motion. The resolutions were likewise opposed bv Lord Newark, Mr. F. O'Connor, Mr. S Heathcote, Mr. Ro- bicson, Mr. Handley, Mr. Benett, Col. Conolly, and Mr. C. Berkeley, principally on the ground that the agricultural interest required indemnity for the pecu- liar burthens to which it is subject, and that the pre- sent protective system had been fouudto work benefi- cially. Mr. O COXNELL and Sir F. BUROETT, on the other hand, advocated the adoption of the system of free trade in corn as well as in other commodities, and considered restriction on the importation of food particularly objectionable. Mr. HUME afterwards withdrew his amendment, and Lord ALTHORP moved the previous question, upon which the house divided- For the previous quest ion 305 r For Mr. Whitmore's resolution 10(5 Majority —r-199 Lord ALTHORP then brought in a bill for the com- mutation of tithes in England and Wales, which was read a first tim?, and ordered to be read a second time on the 31st iust. HOUSE OF LORDS, MAY 18. Viscount GRANVILLE, who was recently advanced to the dignity of an Earldom, was introduced today, with the usual formalities, as Earl Granville, by Earl Moriey and the Earl of Ripou, aud having- taken the oath and subscribed the Parliamentary roll (after the letters patent creating him all Earl had been rcad), he took his seat on the Earl's Bench. STAFFORD BRIBERY BILL. Thr above named bill, on the motion of the Earl of RADNOR, was read a third time and passed. The Earl of RADNOR, in the absence of the Earl of Shaftesbury, moved the third and second reading of various piivate bills, chiefly road bills, which were in progress through the house. The committees 011 those read a second time were fixed for Monday. Adjourned at a few minutes past four to Monduy. HOUSE OF LOR Ds, MAY 20. DUTCH EMBARGO. The Duke of WELUNGTOnted -a petition fiom the merchants and shipowners of Newcastle, against the Dutch embargo. The noble duke ob- served, that it had occasioned considerable loss and inconvenience to the whole mercantile interests of England and Holland and he hoped that the adjust- ment of the difference with Holland woald shortly be brought to a conclusion. The Earl of ABERDEEN expressed his intention of takiu an early opportunity of bringing the question before the house, if the present negotiation should fail to bring- about a setlenjeiit. Earl GREY said that he felt as anxious as the peti- tioners themselves to bring the affair to a speedy and satisfactory conclusion, and was quite prepared to defend the course pursued by his Majesty's Minister# whenever the subject came fdirly before the house. OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH. The Bishop of LICHFIELD and COVENTRY pre- sented a petition praying for tire better observance of the sabbath. The Bishop of LONDON supported the praver of the petitioners, and adverted to the bill upon the sub- ject which had been thrown out by the House of Commons. He hoped that the season would not be suffered to pass over without some measure upon this subject of a moderate and temperate nature being passed by either house of parliameut.Adjourued. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MAY 20. Th? early silting was occupied in the presentation o. petitions. During the last half hour of sitting there were only two members in the house. At the second sitting the report of the Carlow election committee was brought up, declaring Walter Blackney, and Thomas Wallis, Esqrs. duly elected. A new writ was issued for the southern division of Staffordshire, in the room of Edward John Lyttelton, Esq, who has accepted the office of chief secretary for Ireland also one for Stroud, in the room of David Ricardo, Esq. who has accepted the chiltcrn hundreds. I liNIr. HUME adverted to a petition against the factories* bill, bearing several hundred signatures, which he had lately presented, from Stroud. He had since discovered that the whole was a forgery, and he gave notice that she should move, on the 30th of this month, for a committee to examine the landlord of the Weaver's Arms and others implicated in the transaction. Lord ALTHORP, in answer to an observation of Lord Chandos, declared that it was the decided in- tention of government to persevere this session with the bill for the abolition of slavery. Lord ASH LEY, after complaining of the delay that had taken place in the progress of the factories' bill in consequence of the appointment of the comirsions, said that he was determined to move the second reading of his bill on Monday, June 7th. Lord ALTHORP having' moved the order of the day that the house resolve itself into committee on the church temporalities (Ire!aiid) bill, Mr. GILLON, after some preliminary observations, brought forward a motion of which he had given notice, to the follow"- ing effect An instruction to the committee that the revenue of the church be applied to purposes of general utility after tbe demise of the present incumbents." Upon a division this resolution was rejected by a majority of 126 against 16. The house then went into committee and the first clause was agreed to. After some strong opposition from Sir R. Inglis, Mr. Goulbnrn, Sir R. Bateson, Mr. S'uw, Mr. C. W. Wvnn, Col. Perceval, Col. Wood, and other hon. members, the sccoud clause was agreed to, with amendments, by which the archbishop of Dublin, is added to the number of commissioners appointed by the clause and the number of bishops on the commisson is increased from 3 to 4. Clause 3 was agreed to, as was clause 4, expunging the words other emoluments" as accruing to the commis- sioners. The succeeding clauses to 13 inclusive were then agreed to. Clause 14 was next agreed to, after a:1 unsuccessful effort by Ilr. Goulbui-ii to fix the minimum of taxable benefices at 3001, a year instead of 2001 The succeeding clauses to the 19th inclu- sive were agreed to, aud the house resumed. The fines and recoveries bill, the limitations of ;:c:ions bill, the dower bill and the courtesy bill, were then read a thiid time, and passed. On Mr. LAMB moving the third reading of the Metropolitan police bill, Mr. PEASE proposed a clause to put down badger and bear baiting, and cock fight- ing within the miles of London. On a division the clause was carried by a majority ot 24 agrinst 16. The bill was then read a third time and passed -Ad, journed.
