W. F. Joy, canon and librarian of Ely cathedral. 477 lots, each one veritably a crown jewel in literature or history <o high that one dealer in curios, Johin Waller, of W Bourne Grove, a lineal descendant of the old poet, told me that his many stop orders from America were inoperati RELICS OF EL NE ARAM, The lots which attracted the most curios- ity consisted of a letter of Eugene Aram’s, written in jail o a clergyman, authenticated by the elder Bulwer; a box made from the top beam of Aram’s gallows, one of the male- factor's ribs, a portion of his victim's skull, each also duly authenticated, and a folio vol- ume of Plato with marginal notes in Aram'’s writing. The letters one and all assert his innocence, and are bound in a vellum book with letter-press leaves, full of matter relat- ing to the Aram mystery and containing photos of the places connected with it. The whole lot brought £190, and was bought by a dealer for Irving, whose ‘‘Aram,” under Bateman's management, first made his fame, BLE AUTOGRAPH L RS, Autograph letters from Thackeray, this to Charles Lever; trom Prince Albert, Baxter, Bentham, Blueher, on the eve of Waterloo, the Prince de to Burns, asking a loan of three guineas; Cook, the voyager, dated Cape of Good Hope; Cooley to Evelyn, sell- ing for $150; Cromwell, dated in Camp; from Danlel De Foe, nd once belonging to Sir 3753 the poet Grey to Horace Walpole; Gladstone criticizing a per- formance; Madam Ristori, Warren Hasting: about his trial; the Duke of Kent, the queen’s father, reprobating army floggings; Koski- 08ko, about Polish troubles; Madame Main- tenon, from Morat, as young man, asking employment; Titus Oates, about the Jacob- ites dear Poe, about how he wrote “The Raven:” Rubens, Jeremy Taylor, the latter in sympathy with Evelyn on the death of the latter's son; Isaac Watts to Dr. Dodd- ridge, and from all the Bonapartes, male and fewale. ANCIEST AUTOGRAPHS. There are only a few selections, Specimens of other lots including letters from nearly every distinguished English author, states- man, actor and painter. Then there were more signatures by every King and Queen of England since Richard 1. Queen Anne’s flourished beside Addison’s; Queen El betii's beside that of Essex. Nearly every Frerch revolutionist of the last century pre- sented a sign manual, The notorious Judge Jeffrle's hand was placed against a death warrant. The bidders saw a sig- pature of John Milton that he never saw. There was a letter from Belling- ham, who shot at the queen, and there were autographs, from Richelieu, Robespierre and Rouget de Lisle, of the Marsaillaise, each succeeding the other in the ing, Going, Gone,” of the octogenarian auctioneer in a firm of bookmen, who has carried the firm name, Sothebys, from 1744, The auctioneer read this sentence from John Wesley’s letter, dated Dublin, 17447 “For natural sweetness of temper, for courtesy hospitality, I have never seen any people like the Irish.” THE BUYERS, The largest number of lots were bought by dealers, some from Paris, and one of them represented the British museum. Besides the sight of the collection itself, it was a very visit to a literary museum. A tall, mil- itary gentleman, whose identity 1 could not discover and who refused his name except as Mr. Cash to the auctioneer, bought many lots. Iheard him whisper to a bystander: “This whole collection should have been bought by some institution.” Perhaps Canon Joy, the recent owner, can now preach to-morrow from the text: *‘He heaped up riches and camnot tell who can gather them,” FIRE-TRAPS. London Theatres a Their Limited Means of cape, |Copyright 1857 by Jumes Gordon Bennett.] May 28.—|New York Herald Cable—Special tothe Bre. |—London,staunch 1o its conservatism of *let alone” or “‘don’t hother,” will not profit by Paris lessons re- specting the danger of burning theatres. London's board of works to-day pooh-poolied the suzgestion of a delegate to overhaul the London theatres, This man owned the appro- priate name ot Sheppard.

BrusseLrs, May 25.—New York Herald Cable—Speciul to the Ber. e situation is unaltered, There are fewer strikes in Liege Basin, owing to the declaration of the great Cockerill establishment that all work- men who continuea on strike would be con- sidered as deninitely discharged. In the Chatlerio and Cormage districts the suspen- sion of work 1salmost general. Many social- ist meetings, with a great display of red flags and phrygian caps, in the ditferent cities, among them Antwerp, Louvain and Verviers, will be held to-morrow. At Brus- sels the delegates ot all the radical associa- tions will meet in congress at Brussells to decide on their policy con- cerning the suffrage question. 'I'he radicals, who are reguglar par- linmentary ~ politiclans, quite distinet from and hostile to the socialist party, have so far only demanded a moderate suf- frage reform. It is feared the most ad- vanced section will control to-morrow’s meeting and prevail upon the cougress to declare for universal suffrage, thus furnish- ing the strikes and agitation with a fresh incentive. ‘The military authorities have just discov- ered and confiscated a qnantity of bombs and explosive materials at Grevistes, in the valley ot the Meuse. THE RUINED RIVIERA. The Earthquakes, Waterspouts and Storms Working Great Damage, [Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.) Arassio, May 28.—(New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bek].—The renewal of the earthquakes will probably be the death blow to the Riviera for some years. For that reason, property owners desire to mimimize them. Itis imvossible to telegraph every shock which, since last week, recur daily, and often several times & day. Some dre very light, some are sharp, and though they have not caused damage all are alarming and unsettling. Such alarms were greatly in- creased by the severe storms of Sunday and Monday especially, great numbers of large walerspouts passing near the coast westward at about thirty mdiles an hour. As many as twelve were counted at one time. The tubes were half transparent and the rotary motion plainly seen, accompanied by a great roaring of the waves out at sea, and the foam flying many feet into the air. They were aceom- panied by thunder and lightning and fol- lowed by hail and rain, In the whole of north Italy, from Padua and Verona to Turin, the vines, crops and young fruit were destroyed by hail, severe frosts and violent winds. The damage Is very great. The mountain near Genoa is deep with snow. News From Berlin. [Copyright 1887 by * ew York Associated Press.) BERLIN, May28,—Theannouncement from Paris that Rouvier had succeeded in forming a new ministry excluding General Boulanger and cowposed of moderates who favored peace was received with satisfaction, quali- fied by fears that the existence of a new cabi- net would be storiny, soon ended in a more acute crisis. The composition of the ministry did not become known until eyening, but early in the day the report that Saussier had replaced Boulanger gave better tone to the bourse. ‘he condition of Crown Prince Frederick William remains the same.

One has a jubilee ode by Robert Buchanan, tuneful as well as thoughttul, and daintily wordes another one by Swinburne, which does much in trength and harmony to make one forget his recent cold-blooded song about Ireland. In two reviews are articles by Gladstone, who shows in each the versatillty and energy ich are characteristic of his genius—one ‘The Great Olympean Sedition:” in the other “Criticismn of Mr. Leeky, in the last two volumes of his history of England in the eighteenth century.” 'The first article carries the author back to his favorite studies, which have been to him recreation and his leisure, The second deals with confliets in which he has himself taken a predominan share.

The cabinet is composed, the correspondent says, of moderate republi- cans, or of a unifon of the right and left and the operation will be a trial of reaction against radicalism, militarism and social- ism. The president was for a_long time re- lnct:u'\‘t tomake the trial, but he finally con- sented. .

'These two were deenly covered with debris and the relief parties were sev- eral hours at work before reaching Mr. Neal's body, which was crushed to a rull).
