the lamented hero observed of it, "in his
characteristic manner,  'Very good; very
good indeed.' "  O Art! You too trading in
Death!

Then, autographs fall into their place in the
State Funeral train. The sanctity of a seal,
or the confidence of a letter, is a meaningless
phrase that has no place in the vocabulary of
the Traders in Death. Stop, trumpets, in
the Dead March, and blow to the world how
characteristic we autographs are!

TO be SOLD, SIX AUTOGRAPH LETTERS
from F.M. the Duke of WELLINGTON, with
envelopes and seals, which have been most generously given to
aid a lady in distressed circumstances.

THE DUKE of WELLINGTON.—A lady has in
her possession a LETTER, written by his Grace on
the 18th of June, in the present year, and will be happy to
DISPOSE OF the same. The letter is rendered more
valuable by its being written on the last anniversary
which his Grace was spared to celebrate. The letter bears
date from Apsley House, with perfect envelope and seal.

A CLERGYMAN has TWO LETTERS, with
Envelopes, addressed to him by the late DUKE, and
bearing striking testimony to the extent of his Grace's
private charities, to be DISPOSED OF at the highest
offer (for one or both), received by the 18th instant. The

ONE of the last LETTERS of the DUKE of
WELLINGTON for DISPOSAL, dated from Walmer

a relic must be greatly enhanced. The highest offer
accepted. May be seen on application.

THE GREAT DUKE.—A LETTER of the
GREAT HERO, dated March 27, 1851, to be SOLD.
Also a beautiful Letter from Jenny Lind, dated June 20,
1852. The highest offer will be accepted. Address with
offers of price.

Miss Lind's autograph would appear to
have lingered in the shade until the Funeral
Train came by, when it modestly stepped into
the procession and took a conspicuous place.
We are in doubt which to admire most; the
ingenuity of this little stroke of business; or the
affecting delicacy that sells "probably the last
letter written by the late Duke" before the
aged hand that wrote it under some manly
sense of duty, is yet withered in its grave; or
the piety of that excellent clergyman—did he
appear in his surplice in the front row of
T. C.'s shop-window?—who is so anxious to
sell "striking testimony to the extent of His
Grace's private charities;" or the generosity of
that Good Samaritan who poured "six letters
with envelopes and seals" into the wounds
of the lady in distressed circumstances.

Lastly come the relics—precious
remembrances worn next to the bereaved heart,
like Hardy's miniature of Nelson, and never
to be wrested from the advertisers but with
ready money.
