conducted by Geo. E, WiCkham, the popu,

Main street. We attempted yesterday to
see for ourselves how it was progressing,
and aller half hours hard work and
close squeezing, we succeeded in getting
into the eager crowd Of purchasers. Much
of this crowd was made up of ladies, whose
external drapery was sadly damaged by
their efforts to get near enough to the
goods to examine them. While we stood
in the midst, dozen patterns ofpure silk
poplin, Of as many colors and texts, very
fine and beautiful, were sold to the pleased
ladies, for $40 to $l2, each-wOrth at least
$25. A variety of other articles, such US
Paisley Shawls, Cloths, Cassimeres,
Linens, &c, &c, were in rapid succession
knocked down at extremely low figures.
We were quite surprised that goods were

ridiculously low; but there was no reserve
