The advantages offered to the puhlie tiy the above Offices
are such as result from a course of tini.-2_?rrupted prosperity,
the fruits of a prudent and economical honagernent for a pe-
riod of thirty-five years.
At the present time so many estali.!,!-.ments exist, vieing
with each other in the profession of ber ;tits to the public,
which numerous failures, and consequent ruin to many in-
dustrious families have proved to be fall4cious, that the Di-

which have been realised by these Offices.
The COUNTY FIRE OFFICE hai not only settled all
claims with promptitude :ad liberality, but has, from its first
establishment, made large Returns to the Insured.—These
amount at the present. time to 132,0001.
The PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE has at each septen-
nial period divided the whole of the profit:;, vhject to a deduc.
tion of about a twentieth part only, among the insured. The

LIFE DEPARTMENT.
The additions made to Life Policies granted by this Corpo-
ration for the last seven years vary from 41 to 65 per cent. on
the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent on the sums as-
sured—a result; it is believed, far more favourable to the as-
sured than any ether Company has hitherto accomplished, when
the low rates of premiums charged by this Corporatism are
taken into consideration.

The next division of life profits will take place in December,
1846, being an interval of five years, and persons entering be •
fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional
rating, and rank at next division of profits for five complete
yea; s.

STRAWBERRY HILL.
TUESDAY'S SALE.

Considerable interest was excited on Tuesday by the sale of
Vertue's Manuscripts, with some finely i.lustrated volumes by
Horace Walpole ; and the proceeds of the day's sale were 497/.
The following were some of the most remarkable:-
1,042. Chattertoniana : the several controversial works re-
lative to Chatterton's fictitious Poems of Thomas Rowley, an
asserted priest of Bristol, in the 15th century ; collected by
Horace Walpole. who was charged with being the immediate
cause of pcur Chatterton's self destruction, 41. 10s. Strong,
1,061. Case, in form of a folio volume, in old morocco,
richly tooled, containing forty-four volumes of the Roman Poets
and 111,torkns, printed by Maire, Plantin, and Raphe:engius,
in the 16th century, of prickyt size, in vellum, richly gilded ;
purchased by Horace Walpole for 31. 175., at the sale of Sir
Julius Cwsir's manuscripts, in November, 1757, produced yes-
terday 111.
1,099. Thuanus's History of his Own Time, the second or
1, suer size of the large paper, seven volumes bound in fourteen,
enriched at the commencement of each volume by rare and
urci d

terestinglase portraitsbyWalpole pl e

March, 1764, for 511. The rarity of the prints in these volumes
seems not to have been sufficiently attended to by the print-sel-
lers. In the first volume was a proof, before any letters, of
Henry VIII., after Holbein, by Vertus, probably unique in
this state. In the first part of the fifth volume was Crispin de
Passe's splendidly-engraved portrait of Queen Elizabeth, in
the magnificent dress in which she went to St. Paul's, which,
at Sir M. M. Sykes's sale, sold for 23 guineas; and in the
second part of the sixth volume, was the extremely rare sheet,
containing portraits of King James the First and his family,
engraved hy William Passe, and entitled Triumphus Jacobi
regis augustceque ipsiusprolis. Vertue, in one of his mania-
seript volumes, menti ns particularly this print as being in the
En-1 of Oxford's collection, and purchased by Lord Harley
with Sir Simonds D'Ewe'a collections. Walpole was loud;in its
praise ; and, speaking of its acquisition, observes, " This beau-
ti ul and scarce print, probably the very proof that was Lord
Oxford's, is now in my possession. I bought it at the sale of
Sir Charbs Cotterel's iibrarv, in 1764, in the London edition
of Thuanus, which is also -adorned by Geteral Dormer and
Sir Clement Cotterel with several other fine and scarce prints,
particularly one of Henry IV. and Marie de Medici, their
children and nurses ; and the print of the three Coligni's, which
I have mentioned in the life of Isaac Oliver." Another im-
pression of the print. by William Passe, since Walpole's time,
has sold for 30/. 9s. ; yet the whole, yesterday, was sold for
401. Tiffin.

1,110. Vertue's manuscript collections: relative to the arts,
purchased by Horace Walpole after Vertue's decease, and on
w Well he founded his " Anecdotes of Painting in England," a
titork that will perpetuate W.,lpole's name to distant ages.

Vertus minuted every fact that fall within his cognisance,` but
waited method, and his sorrows late in life rendered him unable
Lo adopt a new course. To Walpole, therefore, are we deeply
indebted for what we know of the history of art in England—
the plan was his own, and the intelligence gratuitously given.
‘Whatever was known before the appearance of the first volume

of his anecdotes, in 1762, was confined to the memoranda of a
very few virtuosi and antiquaries; by him was the prospect
first opened, the sources of information pointed out, and a new
ireerest in the works of our native or adopted artists was
created, which in its progress are animated by taste, and fos-
tered by industrious research. By far the greater part of these
collections havo consequently been published, and perhaps,
w hat remains are now uninteresting memoranda, scarcely worth
the glear.ing. 261. 10s.
1,117. Alanuseript :catalogue of paintings, and other rari-
ties belonginr, to his Majesty King Charles the First, as with-
drawn from the Palace of St. James, and placed in the King's
new Cabinet-room at Whitehall, drawn up by the keeper, Abra-
li tm "anderdort, 1639, folio; with the Royal Arms on the
hir,ding, purchased by Horace Walpole, in November, 1766,
for two guineas. Sold for 221.

1,117: Manuscript catalogue of the principal pictures, arras
hangings, and statues, belonging to King Chatles the First,
with the prices they were sold for by the Parliamentary autho-
rities after the King's decai:itation, 1649. Lists of the pictures
belonging to the Crown in the several Palaces, in Queen
Anne's time, when the Duke of Kent was Chambarlain. Wal-
pole's rote shows that many of these pictures were absent with-
out leave even in his time. 211. 10s. Rodwell.

1,123. Description of Strawberry-hill, illustrated by seseral
hundred drawings, portraits, views, and engravings of the an-
tiquities and objects of art and vertu, till recently deposited
there. The whole collected and formed by Horace 'Walpole,
in an atlas folio volume, in russia binding. 22/. lls 6d. Burn.
1,124. .:Edes Walpolianm; a description of the pictures and
eta at Houghton Hall, the seat of Robert Earl of Orford,
erawn up by Horace Walpole, and dated " Houghton, August,
1743 ;" illustrated by the original designs for the building,
and drawing and prints from the pictures deposited there, but
subsequently (;.'cl to the Empress of Russia. 141.:35. 6d.
1,125. Houghton Gallery. Engravings from the paintings
at Houghton Hall, a choice and tide copy, in two large lotto
volumes, in rusia binding, 471.55. Major.
The collection of works on Natural History, formed by Wal-
pole, and which closed the day's sale, preserittd little of in-
tcrest beyond the splendour of the coloured engravings.
WEDNESDAY'S SALE.

Yesterday's sale of prints itivolumes produced 4841., so that

this portion has alrerciy netted upwards of 3,0001. Several of
the volumes were of considerable interest, a few of which we
shall briefly notice:-
1,160. Ito:al Academy and other exhibition catalogues,
from 1760 to. 1796, with the occasionally printed reviews, sa-
tires, &c., on the several exhibitions; sale catalogues of cele-
brated collections of paintings, &c. ; the whole enriched by
mart' interesting mar.uscript notes, by Horace Walpole; three
hick v slumes, quirks, 52/. 10s. Messrs. Smith.
1,197. Watteau ; five hundred and ninety-five etchings and
engraving:, from the designs and paintings of this master, now
in the Inrhe..t estimation among connoisseurs, in three folio
volumes, 49/. Graves.

1,•2 9. Itaffaelle ; three folio volumes, containing four hun-
dred and sixty i riots, by Marc Antonio and other distinguished
engravers, from paintings of that grand toaster of all time,
Raffselle, 21/. Colnaghi.
1,224 to 1,232 comprised about sixty specimens of the works
of Israel Van Mechlin, a celebrated engraver of the fifteenth
century, chiefly purchased by Graves, and by Messrs. Smith ;
they produced 411.
1,233 to 1,240 consisted of a hundred specimens of the works
of Martin Schvonganer ; they sold for 301., and were purchased
by Graves, Evans, and Messrs. Smith.
The specimens of the engravings by Andrea Mantegna.
and his contemporaries, comprised in the concluding lots of
the day's sale, 1,241 to 1,246 inclusive, were in a very poor
cmidition, and sold for only 13/., purchased by Colnaghi and
Messrs Smith.
