The public auction of the crown diamonds was again well attended to-day, chiefly, of course, by merchants and jewelers. The number of private bidders was slender. The vast majority of those present were, in fact, simple spectators, who came again to feart their eyes on the shining jawale, always at a cafo distance. The sale rudized 446500 francs, making a total for the two days £38,143 sterling. The largest sum realized was for the eleventh lot in the catalogue, which was divided into eight portions.
