SALES BY AUCTION.

IN ITANOVER-STREET.
Mr. FAIRS' far-famed MAGAZINE of ART and his FAMILY
RESIDENCE adjoining.
AIR. GEORGE ROBINS respectfully makes
t known to the Public, and more especially such as ap-
preciate the

CORRECT ORDER OF ARCHITECTURE AND THE FINE ARTS,
that he will SELL by AUCTION on the Premises, on TUESDAY,
the 21st of April, at One o'clock, in consequence of Mr.
FAIRS having taken, in conjunction with Mr. Meakin, the
extensive premises, No. 139, in New Bond-street, lately, and
for halt a century, In the occupation of Mr. Turner, Uphol-
sterer to the Royal Family, with the intention of continuing
the art of decorating, with the useful appendage of a thorough know-
ledge of furnishing houses in various styles suited to the present
taste. Mr. R. is instructed to sell the abode in which so much of the
deservedly fair fame of Mr. Fairs has been acquired,
Ne. 2, IN HANOVER-STREET, HANOVER-SQUARE.
To give a lucid description of all its claims to admiration, both in
the exterior and the interior, would necessarily occupy too large a
space in a public annoancerneut ; it is, therefore, suggested that all
these inclined to this first-rate situation should go and judge for
themselves, when the moderated account that is to be attempted in
this little detail will be confirmed.

THE ORDER OF ITS ARCHITECTURE
IS OF THE EARLY ITALIAN SCHOOL.
Its front is very much more imposing than anything contempera-
ne.ous, and the expense of accomplishing this has necessarily con-
slimed a large capital : but its prepossessing appearance amply re-
pays the great outlay incurred, as well as the tact and anxiety,
that marked its progress and completion. It may be well,
" en passant," to observe that the situation is so pre-eminent that it
is adapted to the highest works of art ; indeed, it is fearlessly as-
serted that both within and without there is nothing to surpass it
throughout

THE METROPOLIS OF ENGLAND ;
and yet something in a more humble sphere cannot fail, in a pecu-
niary view, to be highly beneficial; but ingenuity would be puzzled
to discover any pursuit that would bear a comparison with it, and
