DIE LATE DUKE OF WISSEX'S LIBRART.--1:-By the
will of the late Duke of Sussex it was directed that if the
Government did not purchase his library within one year
after his Royal Highness's decease, it was to be sold by
public auction. The King of Prussia is now in treaty for
the purchase of this rare collection of books, which consists
of upwards of 45,000 volumes, the whole of which have
been catalogued by Mr. Pettigrew, the Duke's librarian, and
the list transmitted to his Majesty. We have not
-heard the
value placed upon them by his Royal Highness's executors.
Even at the low average of half a crown a volume they
would realise 6,6251: '
rities, under the immediate direction of the-Hon. Chairman,
Mr.'Wood, have recently been very active in• putting down
the adulteration of tobacco by special inspections and prompt
prosecutions, and conviction where the frauds hnve been de-
tected. The following cases have been brought before the
local judicial authorities within the last few weeks, and the
parties have been fined in the sums named, viz.:--Mr.
.fickle, •of tolton, 1501.; Mr. Laffer,- of Liverpool, 300/. ;
Messrs. Nichol and Gough, of Chester, 3001. ; Messrs. Wood
and Son, ofDoncaster, .1501. ; Messrs. tartans, of Lincoln,
• 250/. ; Messrs. Gamble, of Gainsborongh, 6001. The case at
' Gainsborough last referred to occupied the Magistrates the
whole bf Thursday and Friday last, was conducted by Dr.
Bateman, of London, for the Excise, and by Mr. Cartwright,
of Bantry, for the defence. One of the witnesses for the
Crown was .Professor Graham, of, the London University,
whose -prod- of the analysis of the adulterated tobacco was
complete and conclusive.
