Mr. Lumley, of Chancery Lane, has purchased from the Society of Antiquaries the remaining stock of the _Vetusta Monumenta_, and proposes to dispose of the various plates and papers separately, in the same manner as he did those of the _Archæologia_. This arrangement is one well calculated to answer the purpose of collectors, and therefore we desire to draw their attention to it. Messrs. Puttick and Simpson (191. Piccadilly) will sell, on Tuesday and Wednesday next, some very interesting Autograph Letters of the late John Davies of Manchester, and of another Collector, comprising many Royal Autographs; a series of interesting letters addressed to Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia; and some rare historical letters from the Southwell and Blathwayte Papers.
