FRIDAY.-'The sale this day was the most important that has
yet occurred. It included some of the finest miniatures in ex-
istence, as well as various curious articles in plate, china, &c.
The attractive nature of this day's sale may be guessed, when
it is stated that the proceeds amounted to about 2,6001. It
has been said that upwards of 40,000/. will be cleared by the
sale of the whole of the personal property in the villa, and we
are inclined to think that this estimate has not been over-
charged. The following are the prices at which the principal
lots were sold :-Lot 8. A missal Drawing was bought by Mr.
Bevan for 42g. Lot 21. Portrait of Cowley the Poet, by Se.
guier, for 1051. Lots 24 and 25. Portraits of Sir K. Digby and

superior quality. Lot. 120. A plateau, with an engraving,

than Si. 15s. 6d. The sale-room was crowded, and the bid-
dings were kept up with the greatest spirit.
