ina few yards of the wall of Kenfington- 
»Garden, It will confit of two folid arched 
vaults, the walls of which are four feet

pofe is a new kind of cement, called ftopping 
mortar. Each arch is 17 feet in the cicar, 
and 14 feet high: the fquare of the two 
arches will be 52 feet by 44. ‘The building 
will be furrounced by a yard 14 feet wide, 
with a ftrong exterior wall. There are to be 
two offices, a cooperage, and a guard-room, 
divided by a fkreen of ftone columns, with a

without nails. One hundred and fifty men

Part of his Majefty’s Spanifh flock, under 
the dire€tion of Sir Jofeph Banks, was lately 
difpofed of by public fale at Richmond. At 
an early hour, a great number of gentlemen 
and breeders aflembled at the pens of sheep 
intendea for fale. The au€tioneer opened the 
bufinefs in a fhort fpeech, ftating that his 
Majefty had been gracioufly pleafed to permit 
the rams and ewes to be aifpofed of in this 
manner, after the examples of the autions at 
Woburn and Holkham, on the prefumption 
of its being the moft probable method of 
placing the beft individuals of the improved 
breeds in the hands of perfons moft likely to 
preferve and ftill farther toimprove them. The 
firft 24 lots confifted each of a fingle fhearling 
ram.—The firft lot was knocked down to 
Captain Alac Arthur, at 1501.3 and the laft 
lot, to Mr. Freeman, of Fawley, near Hen- 
ley, at 42 guineas. The intermediate lots 
fetched from fix to twenty-feven guineas. 
The next twenty-one lots confifted of or 
rams and ewes, which fetched comfiderable 
prices, The fale ended about a quarter paft 
four o'clock, when Sir Jofeph Banks ftated, 
that the prices at which the fheep had been 
fold exceeded his Majefty’s and his own ex- 
peCtations and wilhes on the fubjeét. He 
added, that from the eagernefs exhibited that 
day in bidding, he kad no doubt but his Ma- 
jefty’s intention of placing the fheep in thofe 
gentlemen’s hands, who would appreciate 
their value, and attend to the increafing the 
breed, would be fully anfwered. The pur- 
chafers were alfo informed, that the fheep 
might remain three days, or longer, in his 
Majefty’s pafture, if it fuited their conveni- 
ence: but fuch was the eagernefs of the buy- 
ers to bear off their lots, that feveral carts 
appeared immediately in the field for that 
purpofe ; and one gentleman took away the 
fheep which he had purchafed in his chaife. 
This fhew and fale of fheep is intended to be 
annual, and next year a larger number of 
ewes wil] be offered for fale, his Majefty’s 
flock having now arrived at the number ine 
tended to be kept.
