Kent. – Important Freehold Estates, belonging to the Crown – The Hive and Ingress Estates, delightfully situate, at Northfleet, Swanscomb, and Greenhithe, on the south bank of the Thames and on the high road to Dover and Paris. – By Mr ADAM MURRAY, at Garraway’s, on Wednesday, July 6, by directions of the Commissioners of the Admiralty and Navy.

THESE Estates, containing 448 acres, are divided into lots for the convenience of purchasers. The property includes rich and productive arable, meadow, and pasture land, excellent marshes, finely timbered parks and pleasure grounds, mansions, houses and cottages, &c.: Also substrata of chalk, flints and brick earth, o very superior quality, which may readily be shipped to any port whatever. No situation can be more picturesque and enchanting, combining wood, water and a receding scenery, unsurpassed in the whole county of Kent, and rich in many of the brightest historical incidents in all the periods of a nations grandeur, Here a man of taste would chose his residence, enjoying, if he pleases the pleasures of the city and the seclusion which shuts out all but the innocent enjoyments which a cultivated mind prefers to the noise and bustle of the metropolis.

“Where Thames its silvery current pours along-
A nations glory, and the pride of song.”

Printed particulars, with lithographic plans of each lot, may be obtained of Mr Joseph Wood, Northfleet: of Messers Green, Pemberton, and Co., solicitors, Salisbury square, Fleet-Street: at Garraway: at the office of Woods and Forests, Whiehall-place: and of Mr Adam Murray, surveyor, land agent, and auctioneer, 61, St. Martin’s-lane, Charing-cross. Letters to be post paid.
