Very few articles hae been ,withdrawn front
the Musentn .of Arts. This 'chief depot of the
riches Of Europe in pictures and statues, has only
lost some works, excellent indeed, of-the Flemish.
and German schools, and a small ntnnher of busts
and statues withdrawn by the King of PRUSSIA.
The Museum is not, however, yet re-opened to
the public. • Only .foreigners and amateurs rive
admitted.,-(Journcil des Debats.)
The difficulty of procuring an Estate equal to the
services of the Duke' of WELLINGTON, ivaS
stinted had been at length obviated by the offer of
the " Great Te.W Park Estate," consisting of near
4000 acres, in Qx•fords•hire, within a few. miles of
Blenhehn, that illustrious record of British valour;
it is umlerstood, however, that his Grace has ex.:-
pressed some objection to the county, in conse-
quence of which this unequalled Estate is. to be
submitted to Auction by Messrs. Rostra, on the
19th of the present month.
,The competitiOn at
the sale is likely to be very considerable, from its
being well ascertained- that: no sort of reserved
price will be put upon any of the farms; indeed,
the sum asked for the whole is so unusually
low, that it is probable some fortunate purchaser
t~ ill avail' If6self of it before the auction.

Sunday morning', as a labouring man was walk-

he perceived something in the water, which, oil
being taken out, proved to be the body of a wo-
man, apparently about 40 years of age, and which
seemed to have been about a fortnight in the wa:
ter, the body was taken to the bouehuuse to be
owned.
