OLD BooKs.—lt was yesterday observed by a
Morning Paper, in noticing the fluctuation in the
value of old Books, that" the same Edition of
an early printed book, CAxToN's Faytes of Arms,
sold in the Roxburgh Collection for 3501.; at the
sale of Lord SPENCER'S duplicates by Mr. EvANs
far 801.; and on 'Saturday by Mr. SOTHEBY for
71. 75." This paragraph, we hope, was written
from ignorance rather than malice; for who
would not suppose that it was the very same book
which had thus descended in value ? The truth
is, that the last book was of the same Edition,
but not the identical book, and that the reason
of the lowness of the price resulted from the
want of the Table and two leaves, and was other-
wise in a bad condition.

LAVENDER, the Bow-street Officer has been
appointed Deputy lligh.Constahle for• Manche-
ster, in the room of Mr. NADIN, resigned.

will use this power it is not difficult to antici-
pate. The experience of the past unfortunately
holds out no hope of happiness to the Protestant,
and the cohduct observed towards Mr. BAnxEs,
Mr. G.I?AwsON, and Sir GEORGE 'HILL, In the
late debate, is sufficient proof of the intolerant
