SIR HEN nv Mmnstav's Sar.e.--Thursday the Ho-
nourable Baronet's house, No. 16, Upper Brook-
street, household furniture and other effects, were
brought to the hammer. A large company was at-
tracted by•the late notoriety of the proprietor; and.
at half past one o'clock Mr. Plower., the Auc-
tioneer, in a short speech addressed to.the persons as-
sembled, said he hoped, in submitting to them the
conditions of the sale, and the articles to be dispised
of the first day, he should not be called upon to state
Ithe name of the late proprietor. He was a person of
rank lately retired to Paris. The articles sold con-
sisted entirely of linen and glass; of the former there
wasu considerable quantity of fine damask. All the
articles went off briskly at very fair prices. At half-
past two o'clock, the lease of the premises was sold ;
it was knocked down at '
2,2.00 guineas. The sale.
room was crowded • many persons of fashion were
present, and at the doors several carriages remained'
during the whole afternoon.
The relative value of Books and Bridges, in the
year 1274, and at the same time, the benefits confer.
red on mankind by.the art of Printing, may be esti-
mated from the following facts 1274, the value
of a Bible neatly written, was £3O. In the same year,
the erection of two arches of London Bridge cost £25
being £5 less than was paid at that time for a single
copy of the Scriptures.
