THE GREAT AUCTIONEER.
(From Bentley's Miscellany for September.)
The following amusing portraiture will afford some
entertainment to our readers—it is so intelligently
written that it can leave no doubt about the original :
At the head of the list of auctioneers of the pre-
sent day stands a gentleman of such high endow-
ments and unquestionable superiority in his vocation,
that I hardly dare presume to attempt his portraiture.
He is a grand remove above the general caste of his
order, In his person is concentrated all the aristo-
cracy of his calling. He is in the Auction Mart
what Rothschild used to be on 'Change, or what Da-
niel Lanlbert would have been at Guildhall, had he
been a member of the City Corporation, a triton
among the minnows, a perfect leviathan, or, as the
geologists would have it, a perfect iguanadon. He
stands alone —not only, in the box, but in the eye of
the world, and of his pigmy brethren of the hammer.
The appearance of this gentleman in public is heralded,
by the advertisement for several months in the princi-
pal newspapers of. a programme of his approaching
sales, which presents as fair a specimen as pen could
supply of the plausive and alluring powers, by the
exercise of which his great professional eminence has
been achieved. 'These effusions are unlike anything
which ancient or modern literature affords, or rather,
they combine the perfections of both, and in the mix-
ture of perspicuity, luxuriance, and refinement, which
pervade them, as compositions they may be said to be
without a parallel. He has the happy faculty of in-
vesting a genteel residence with supernatural en-
chantments, and of transporting his readers, all in the
way of business, into the regions of fairy land where
splendour and beauty strive for the mastery. And
he does it without drawing an invention for a fact,
or presuming to enter one item in his catalogue which
an inspection of the estate does not justify. His
effects are wrought by the sheer art of colouring.
Where an ordinary auctioneer would give a descrip-
tion of a site, he will give a history of a site, and gar-
nish it with a train of pleasing and romantic associa-
tions. He exhausts the pictorial beauties of his scene
and "then imagines new." The vegetable world he
endues with spirituality, and will give the ivy credit
for ingenuity, as well as devotion to the domain that
cherishes it, in the grace and order with which it en-
twines itself round the walls. Rocks he inspires With
symmetry, and embryo chalybeates are. incubated- by
his magic touch. Pomp and retirement are offered in
equal perfection ; here the tournaments of ancient
days might be transcended, and yet .ZimaiBrinati iitlyd
found inspiration for his muse. The thought that
suggests itself to the mind on perusing these things
is, how can the man knock down so many 'paradiies ?
Is he a destroying angel in disguise ? or is it "
jawbone," he wieldeth in his left hand, miscalling' it a'
hammer ?
On the day appointed, and within five oi ton mi.-
nutes after the hour fixed for Nish-108S, he is announced
by the ringing of a bell, a cluster of eager-looking

mine host of the tavern, and yet with something of caus-
ticity in his humour, he cries to him to " come into
Court," leaving no escape for the capitalist, who obeys
the injunction and advances within whisper-shot of
his tutelary friend, for there's more between them
than meets the cursory ear, and the capitalist is not
one of the loungers: He then, still seated, calls upon
the clerk to read- the "conditions of sale," apolo-
gising for the, tediousness of that ceremony, which
he: owns to •be ""flat and unprofitable," indeed he
avows, that, with. Shakspeare, he may exclaim, " they
would be more. honoured in the breach than the ob-

were applicable, those lines of the great bard were
applicable to the reading of " conditions of sale ;"
but to which, hoWever, he patiently listens, with his
eye-glasses over. his nose, and a copy of the " unpro-
fitable" document lying " flat" before him. Inter-
ruptions now begin to arise. Gentlemen with ready
money will ask questions. It is of no avail for the
auctioneer to tell them that the title is unquestioned,
that the Lord Chancellor has confirmed its validity in
a Court of Equity, and that, as far as that point goes,
one might make oneself happy about it, and without
more ado go home and sleep, and

2. If at any time after the grant of a license to an
agent l any claimant shall satisfactorily prove that any
such licensed agent has abused the trust reposed in
him by not duly accounting for Titulos or moneys re-
ceived by him on behalf of such claimant ; and if it
shall appear that any licensed agent has practised
any fraud or imposition on any claimant or claimants,
or upon the Commission, the Commissioners will, by
Writing under their hand to be delivered to such
agent, or fo 1 left at his last or most usual place of
abode, or where his agency may be carried on, revoke
the license granted.
3. If any claimant shall revoke the appointment of
a licensed agent, who shall have given security to the
Corttnilasion for the proper discharge of his trust,
such claimant shall not be permitted to appoint
another agent, but will be required to act for himself,

PO LICE INTELLIGENCE.
(SATURDAY.)
MANSION-HOUSE.

On Saturday Frederick Shackelford, who was
some time ago charged with having, with several
others, defrauded tradespeople of goods of considerable
value, and James Gosbell, who stands charged with
having conspired, with others, to defraud the same
tradespeople, were brought up for final examination.
Mr. Goddard, the solicitor for the prosecution, was
in attendance. '
Thomas Harris stated that he resided at Maidstone,
and that he went into the service of Beaumont (be-
tween whom and Shackelsford, it will be recollected,
a connexion for the purpose of defrauding shopkeepers
was upon the first examination established) as porter,
about the middle of June last. The shop had been
opened in Week-street, in the linen-drapery line the
day before. Beaumont was there himself, and also a
person of the name of Charles Sydney Smith, and a
man named James Gosbell. There was likewise a
person of the name of Robert Beaumont pre-
sent, who was represented to be Beaumont's fa-
ther. All these three persons acted as shopmen to
Beaumont. There was very little stock in the shop when
witness first went thither, and he was there till the
shop was closed by Robert Beaumont, and during all
that time only one parcel of goods came in, and that
was a lot of flannels and other drapery goods. There
was very little custom to the shop in consequence of
people cominc, repeatedly for goods which they could
not be supplied' with. The shop was kept open by
Robert Beaumont and Gosbell till Wednesday, the
10th of August, when witness closed it in the evening,
and Robert Beaumont said he would not have it
opened any more ; and told witness to get a cart next
morning, as the goods should be removed. Witness
acted accordingly, and helped Robert Beaumont to
remove the stock and furniture to a house in York-
place. The furniture was very trifling, and the whole
of the stock removed appeared to be worth about 601.
The stock had been diminished each time after Beau-

mont and Smith came down to Maidstone, and went
back again. Parcels which had been on the shelves
disappeared, and the shop looked more naked.
William Kimbrell said he had been a pot-boy at
the Bull and Mouth Tap, in St. Martin's-le-Grand,
for about six months previous to the middle of July
last, when he went to take a situation at the Great
Western Railway. During the time he was at the
Bull and Mouth the prisoner and several other per-
sons, amongst whose names were those of Beaumont
and Smith, used to frequent the parlour. His mis-
tress suspected the party to be swindlers, and at length
forbad them the house, but they continued to call as
long as he remained in the place.
The LORD MAYOR said they stood committed for
trial, Shackelsford for having defrauded the several
parties who prosecuted, and Gosbell for having con-
spired with several others to defraud them. His Lord-
ship said the offences were bailable, and Gosbell's bail
was accepted. Shackelsford was committed to New-
gate in default of bail.

PRESTON GUILD.
PRESTON, THURSDAY EVENING.—The fourth day of
the carnival commenced this morning under less fa-
vourable auspices than the preceding days. The
morning was very wet, and retarded much of the en-
thusiasm which would otherwise have prevailed. The
first entertainment this morning was the grand mis-
cellaneous concert and performance of music at St.
`Wilfred's Catholic chapel, at which the Earl of Shrews-
bury, with his daughter, the Princess Doria Pamphili,
Lord Petre, and most of the elite of the aristocracy in
this part of country, were present. Amongst the
performers were Signor Rubin', Signor Negri, Mdlle.
Ostergaard, &c. ; and, amongst other performances,
were several selections from the celebrated Stabat
Mater of Rossini. These are chiefly to be repeated
in the performances at the concert in the theatre to-
night. Amongst the company also was the Duke of
Brunswick, with a numerous suite.
The Guild Mayoress gave a public breakfast this
morning, at ten o'clock, at the temporary Guildhall,
at the Corn-Exchange. Nearly one thousand per-
sons, including the most fashiontible of the surround-
ing district, were present. The band of the 60th
Rifles, from Manchester, was in attendance, and per-
formed some of the most admired modern airs. The
Guild Mayor and Mayoress presided, supported by
halberdiers, and all the pomp of former magnificence.
The principal toasts given were—" The Queen,"
"The Duke of Lancaster," and "The. Lancaster
Witches," who had for some centuries kept up the
attraction to the Guild. After the dejeuner, dancing
commenced, and continued to a late hour in the
afternoon.
The Preston Guild races were held in the afternoon,
under very auspicious circumstances. The stewards
were, R. /Townley Parker, Esq., the late Member for
the borough ; J. N. Farrington, Esq.; J. Meiklam,
Esq.; and W. Standish Standish, Esq. The clerk of
the course was Mr. Orton,-of York.
One excellent arrangement on the course was the
entire prohibition, by the authorities, of every de-
scription of gaming. • Notwithstanding the inaus-
piciousness of the day, at least thirty thousand per-
sons were congregated, in addition to those who were
also assembled to view the regatta from the romantic
sides of the Ribble.

- The following is a statement of the diTerent firms
which have been robbed by the gang of rascals :—Mr.
Paley, perfumer, Lombard-street, of goods to the
amount of 581. 4s. sd. This tradesman succeeded in
recovering another parcel which he had sent to the
conspirators. Messrs. 'Welsh, Gregory, and Cubits,
of goods to the amount of 571. Os. 2d. 111 r. Mumford,
sillc-warehouseman, Milk-street, of goods to the
amount of ?;51. Bs. 2d. Messrs. Smart, Milk-street, of
goods to the amount 961. 9s. sd. Messrs. Ridgy, Mel-
burn, and Jones, of goods to the amount ofabout 1741.
Mr. H. W. Ingram, Addle-street, of goods to the
amount of 106/. 25.6 d. Mr. George Frederick Minton,
of goods to the amount of 1651.55.

" End the heartache,
And the thousand natural cares that:flesh is heir to,"—
he " must be satisfied," and catechises the advocate
accordingly ;—the catechumen looks condescension,
and meets his inquiries with promptitude and effect.
I understand there are few that venture to ask ques-
tions of this gentlemen who ever take much by their
motion ; for if they elicit, as they often do, infor-
mation favourable to the seller, so much the better
for him; and if the colloquy have the opposite ten-
dency, such is his ready versatility, that he can an-
ticipate a thrust with the needle's point, or chaff his
adversary into hopeless silence.
He now stands up, and commences his exordium.
This is surpassing. The beauties of nature are here
eclipsed by the flowers of eloquence, and the figures
of rhetoric cast into the shade by the nameless air
with which he utters his eulogium on the house and
grounds about to be knocked down to the highest
bidder. I had been attracted to the scene by a
perusal of his printed lucubrations, and now, in the
presence of the master-spirit from which they had
emanated, felt thankful that the property was so far
beyond my poor means of investment, as to leave me
nothing to fear from the wiles of the arch-tempter
before me. In his oral address he rejects all formali-
ties of diction, throws aside the restraint of conti-
nuity, and speaks with a racy energy truly irresisti-
ble. He unites the acumen of the pleader, the esprit
of the wit, and the fascination of the improvisatore—
makes his hits and points like a great actor, and
works them up with the aid of his potent physiognomy,
his equally potent action, and his hammer. He states
the valuation, and contends that it is too low—and dilates
upon the brightening prospects of agriculture under
the blessed effects of Sir Robert Peel's new measure,
which he states to be perfect, and contents him-
self with simply predicting, upon his honour
as a gentleman, that it must work incalculable
good for the interests of all classes' and conse-
quently of every class in particular. Upon his de-
scending more into detail I was struck by the felicity
with which he dwelt on the exquisite adaptation of
the land then under sale for the purpose of fattening
bullocks (it was the day on which he sold the large
estates of Montagu Parker, late M.P. for South De-
vonshire, and the land at Paington is famed for fattening
cattle). He was remarkably impressive here. There
was a depth of conviction, a force, and a meaning in
his enunciation of his belief in the land's capacity to
fatten bullocks, which showed how completely he had
thrown himself into his case ; and the man must have
been no other than an habitual sceptic who could haVe
sat and heard those words from his lips, and have har-
boured even a lurking doubt that bullocks of any ex-
traction, or of whatever previous habits. of *Jul-
gence, both could, and were the choice given them
would have gorged themselves to repletion on the nu-
tritious pasture in praise of which he made this power-
ful appeal. The bidding is at its height, and he
throws in a little episode about the chalybeate which
" only wanted encouragement, and Harrowgate and
Leamington would have to hide their diminished heads."
He takes a sip of the coloured water. A meek man
in the centre begs to know why the timber was not
mentioned in the catalogue? The auctioneer affects
incredulity, but finds, on inspection, that the impor-
tant article in question has been omitted. He makes
the acknowledgment; but, instead of apologising for
the oversight, retaliates upon his inquisitor for his pre-
sumption, by telling him plainly he is now expected
without equivocati(m to become the fortunate pos-
sessor. The auction advances, and with every new
offer he finds fresh matter for dissertation. He
alludes to the contiguity of the railroad, and corn-
ments with infinite force upon the luxury of ,

EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.-4511 Friday an
inquest was held before C. J. Carttar, Esq., et the White
Hart Tavern, Greenwich, on view of the body of a man
who was found in the river, off the Isle of Dogs. From
the dress of the deceased, it was presumed that he had
been a steward on board a foreign vessel, but no evidence
could be adduced as to his name or connections. It was
stated that on the body being found, an undertaker and
his assistant went down the river, and placed the body in
a coffin, and were bringing it up to Greenwich in a boat,
when the boat capsized, and the two gentlemen in black
were immersed in the water, and were in great danger,
but were, after much difficulty, rescued by some water-
men, who put off to their assistance. The coffin, with
the body of the deceased in it, floated some distance down
the river before it could be again picked up. The Jury
returned a verdict of " Found drowned."
OPERATION OF THE NEW TAnirr.—ln addition
to several head of cattle brought on Friday into Smith-
field-market from Hamburgh and Holland, and other ad-
jacent countries, were 22 oxen brought from Spain, for
sale by Mr. Giblett, salesman, being the first introduced
into-air English market from that country. .They were
of a large size and of excellent quality, and excited great
attention.
