hammer, on the 27th •of last month.
Teoed Wilton's cellar was offered for the
most part in lots of three dozen bottles,

the Oleteta, several batches of Chateau
Itafite of 1864 brought from one hun-

viev4nty shilling% per dozen, and one lot
of the Same wine, of ,the vintage a 1848,
was bete:Aced down for a little lest) than
nine. pounds: per •dozen. The prices
realized for the champagnes, however,
were of unprecedented magnitude.
Thus seine of the growth of 1874
brought one Inindred and seventy shil-

last la, ef. four dozen, no less than the
prodigious sum of four hundred and ten
shillings per, dozen was forthcoming.
•Twenty pounds ten shillings for a dozen
a wine means thirty-four shillings and
twopence per bottte—a price which
would have satisfied even- that -fastidi-

has left on record hip protest against
cheap wines, c.nd his appreciation of the
rare old port which he drank with his
ghostly friend, Mr. Pinto, at the Gray's
Inn Coffee House.. Thirty-four shillings,
and two pence for a bottle of champagne
sinks, however, into insignificance when
compared with the birthday gifts pre-
sented on theist instant to the German
Chancellor. • In addition to dozens of
Rudesheitner o 1788; of Geisenheiraer
of 1804, of Schloss Johannisberg Cabinet

1868 from tin Royal domain, we find
that several bottles of tioecobranner of
1783 were offered as a tribute of respect
and admiration to the great stateannin,

worth eight pounds in the public. mar-
ket. •Rhenish wine has, apparently not
fallen in value -since the death of Prince
Metternich, whose old Johannisberg was
sold at twenty shillings a battle—a
price regarded as fabulems in 1859. It
was alleged, indeed, by Albert Smith •
that the landlcird of every peat hotel in
Germany made it point of buying one or
two dozen betties frem Prince Metter-
nich's cellar, in order that he might
retail it for all future Wife .at extrava-
gant prices per bottle --there was little
