PUBLIC SALES.-(THIS DAY.)

There were no Sates of Estates either at the
MART or GARRAWAY'S, to-day.
At the AUCTION MART every roam was occupied
for extensive sales of various description of personal
property.
Mr. WILLIAMS'S Sale of Valuable Miscellaneous
Effects was well attended.

Mr. Kit's Extensive Sale of Splendid Derby
China attracted also a number of purchasers. s s

The rooms on the first-floor, generally used for
the sale of estates alone, were also occupied by the
following Auctioneers :
Mr. ROSE—For a Sale of Woollen Cloth.
Mr. CANSDELL—A Sale of 900 dozen of Wine.
Mr. WHEELER—Miscellaneous Property.
Mr. C. TAYLOR—Books and other Literary Pro-
perty.
Each auctioneer had an extensive number of
purchasers, and no doubt the near approach of
Christmas was the principal cause of so many per-
sons attending.

Mr. BEHNES, the sculptor, has commenced a
bust of the Princess VICTORIA, having been honoured with
a sitting on Tuesday, at the apartments of the Duchess of
Kaxr, at the Ktuo's Palace,_ at Kensington.
ROBBERY.---A Mr. EYRE, druggist of Liver-
pool, was robbed a few days since, at Holyhead, of 1151. in
Bank-notes. The property has since been restored to him;
but the supposed thief, while proceeding in the custody of
the constables towards Holyhead, is said to have flung
himself suddenly into the arm of the sea. The body has
not yet been found.
HERRING FISHING.—Owing to the preva-
lence of strong westerly winds, the herring fishing has not
at all equalled the expectations the fishermen entertained in
the early part of the season. Last year, on the 16th of
November, the Newhaven men tried the fishing for the first
time, and they caught upwards of 2,000. Early yesterday
morning five fishing boats left Newhaven, and the most
successful boats returned with about 400, taken in Kirk-
aldy Bay. They were sold to the retailers at ss. a hun-
dred. Since Thursday last none of the Fife fishing boats
have visited Newhaven. The weather was so stormy they
could not venture out, and the fish with which the market
has been supplied, has been chiefly brought from Mussel-
burgh and Prestonpans.—Scotsinan.
FRAWD ON THE TREASURY.—BARTHO-
