at the Lion Hotel, Shrewsbury; the Inns at Llangollen, and Corwen; the Great Hotel, Bangor; Waterloo, Liverpool; York House, Bath; and at Mr. GEORGE ROBINS's Offices, London. N.B. The appropriate Furniture, Service of Plate, Elegancies of the Chateau, extensive Library of Books, and all the valuable Appendages, will be submitted to Public Competition the latter End of the Month of July, by Direction of the Executors. PARTICULARS, &c. Mr. ROBINS is not a little proud that it hath been his good fortune to be selected by the Executors of the Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss Ponsonby to direct the sale of their far-famed Domicile. He feels that an apology will be due to all those who are familiar with its beauties and peculiarities, for the very imperfect recital which follows, while those who are yet to be gratified with the sight of it, may imagine he has drawn some little upon "Fancy's sketch." There is nothing of pretension in its outward form, it indicates but moderately the comfort that presides within, inasmuch as will be found congregated all the _agremens_ pertaining to more consequential habitations. Considerable tact is conspicuous everywhere; but none more unequivocally displayed than in the lightsome little Dining Room, contrasted with the gloomy, yet superior grace of the Library, into which it opens. This room is fitted up in the Gothic style, the Windows are of ancient painted glass "_shedding their dim religious light_." THE SALOON OF THE MINERVAS Is the repository of the choice Library. The auxiliary Offices are very commensurate, the grounds are disposed in such good order as is the natural consequence of pure taste, the Kitchen Garden is neatness itself, and the Fruit trees are of the rarest and finest sort, and luxuriant in their produce. Many and shaded GRAVEL WALKS ENCIRCLE THIS ELYSIUM, Which is adorned with curious and rare Shrubs and Flowers. It is nothing in extent but EVERYTHING IN GRACE AND BEAUTY, United with a great variety of foliage. Upon the Freehold is a considerable quantity of valuable Timber which overhangs A DEEP AND HOLLOW GLEN; In its entangled bottom, a frothing brook leaps and clamours o'er the rough stones in its channel towards THE VALE OF LLANGOLLEN. To speak of the latter would be quite superfluous, few, if any, are unacquainted with the wildnes
