The Proprietors of this Celebrated MUSEUM have determined to DISPOSE OF IT, and have given instructions to that effect. Previons, however, to doing so, they have thought it right to offer it in One Lot, so that any public institution desirous of obtaining it in its integrity, or any individual of beneficent impulses, anxious to promote adult education in his locality, might have an opportunity of doing so. It would form a most valuable adjunct to a free Library, Mechanics' Institute, or other educational organization, for it contains not only objects of antiquarian interest, quite unique in themselves, but there are collections of Mineralogical, Geological, and Metallurgical specimens, of great rarity, beauty, and value, scarcely equalled in the North of England. There is also a collection of Egyptian, Grecian, Roman, English, and other old Coins, in fine condition, well adapted to stimulate a study of Numismatics, and affording a nucleus for esta blishing a large and valuable Museum. A minutely detailed Catalogue has been prepared, which may be had, through the post, on receipt of three stamps, from C. P. HARDY, Auctioneer, Carlisle, or Mr. J. F. CROSTHWAITE, Bank, or Museum, Keswick, from whom also, further particulars may be known.
