THEMORD SEOUL F4IR. '"'''''NM."...-- To consequence of the briskness of trade, and the high prices which have lately been obtained fur . wool, !hi' fair war more numerously attended than' usual. Upwards of 120 persons sat down to the din tier, at which T. W. Coke, EN. ',resided, supported by the Duke or Norio4k. the Earl of Albemarle, Gen. Fitzroy, Adin. kin, J. Merest. Esq. M.l'. Messrs. Styletnan ► Moseley, &e. &r. The principal wool buyers were Messrs. %Vatter, Ilawkes, Figono, Gsrdener, Voyageur, and several gentlemen from Yorksjsire mud other parte. After the cloth was removed, the Chairma► gave the following toasts— " Constitet tun and Kiag.'•—•wProaperity to the Wool Fair, awl a fair prize between Daysearatt x..4ier. - --eg Prosperity to the Coieritiet of Norfolk gedieoffolk."—The Woollen Ma nufactures of Gore Britain.' The tliuirman, iu calliug ,the attention of the blotting to the busiuges of the day. said, he never felt greater pleasure than on the present occasion, in which he witnessed the largest and toast respect able Wool Fair ever held in Thetford. lie rejoiced to he able to state to thew, that the Woollen Ma nufactories were never je a more prosperous condi tion than at the ',moot goonient. As he had es tablished the Fair, so he wished to promote those beeefitial results which were •to flow from it, by offering his wool at a fair sod liberal price. He knew a hat was expected at the Lewes Fair, and lie doubled not bet the Meeting would give him credit for endeavouring to obtain owl, information as would enable him to fig n rice equally benefi cial to buyer and pellet. lie wished the sales might he publicly effected ist pherootn, ns the growers would thew know Wbo the best flocks and who . the went: at +nett known at Leeds. Mr. Coke COUC uaed o ag his noel le Mr. Weller (as the last year's purchaser) at 84s. per tot!, at the seine time assuring him end the Meeting, that if it were not sold in the room, it should not ,he °erred at so low a price out of it. The offer was accepted by Mr. Waller, who complimented Mr. Coke on the superior quality and cleanliness of his wool, and recommended his example to other growers, particularly in reference to the breaching the fleece. The Duke of Norfolk offered his wool at Ws. which was accepted. On the health of the Earl of Albemarle being drunk, his Lordship observed, that he was never so hap py. as when he could be useful to his friends and tbeiglibisnes; he often regretted so little bugines, hod been done in the room, and was glad that Mr. Wailer had broken the ice. It appeared to him that the wool-buyers had bound themselves by a vox not to buy in that room ; but rash vows were better broken thou kept, in proof of which he related an anecdote of a foreigner, who, iii a quarrel, vowed he would never comb his hair until he had obtained revenge. This vow, said his Lord ship, was only inconvenient to himself awl his friends. He concluded by offering his wool to Mr. noon at 84s. but winch was refused : how ever, his Lordship shortly after rose and stated, that *Won't Mr. Fison to have his wool as usual, lie had agreed to take Ms. and that Mr. F. had accepted it, requesting his Lordship to state to the company, most distinctly, that he was not int pared to give the same price to others—(how ever, we believe that before the bosisiess of the day concluded, the Messrs. Fisous were compelled to give Me.) Lord Albemarle, in the course of Ilia speech, having lamed some very high encomiums on Mr. Futon, gave occasion to the Chairman to re mark, that he fully agreed in the sentiments of his noble friend respecting the gentleman just named, but regretted that Mr. Fisun had only nibbled ut his wool. but never yet took it. Before he sat down he would saurus the Meeting, that since the esta blishment of the Fair, the quantity of wool grown in Norfolk and Suffolk had increased to double or treble. He concluded by proposing for a toast "The Mabel' of Norwich, the best Shepherd in Christen dom." The Rev. Mr. Et.t.rtu, thorigh little inclined to interrupt the important busier*, of the Meeting. could not, as a Clergyman, refrain from offesiiig his thanks to theCliairmaii for proposing this toast, mid to this very respectable company, for the hand some manner in which they had received it. Ile observed, that the Chaim:in was in the habit if paying this tribute of respect to that excellent man at almost every public meeting. sod he did not wonder at it ; " Siasifis sissili platelet :"—or, to use on English proverb, Dods of a leather flock together." The same liberal spirit—the same seal for civil and religious liberty—the same charity for the failings of otheri,and (as far us ability Korb) the soma princely hospitality rhaiuKutsbrrj them both ; and i.e would velitur to say, that if his brethren of the cloth, instead of sol Opting the prejudices, god echoing the inisrepreveutatious of those who think it il sir itstu'rrop to defame mi•represent them, were to imitaie their PIA 'Alm" the K.oal ohl II•Ia`r Live anti In /iee,"'lhry world odd greatly to the seemity (if their possesaiote4, their fropectsbility, their Mile prudence. and contsequentlt• their happiness.

The Sittings of the General Convention of Representative* from the Retail Burghs of Scot land were held, iw adjournment, ou the ISt!, and 16th instant, at Edinburgh. The Convention is • legally recognised body, of great antiquity, and has bees at different times, as it is now likely •gain Is be, of very considerable utility. The tines which was at iume I►ef.re it at this last meeting resolved it self virtually into this—Whether the Convention has the power of itself to alter, amend, and reform the constitution of any Burgh, upon cause *hewn by any number of the Burgesses—or whether such al teration and reform can only be effected, as was done in the late case of the Burgh of Montrose, by the authority 4.1 the King Neill Chained > According as this question is deteru►itled, depends the import ant consequence, whether the reform, fur which so many of the Burghs of Scotland have fur some time past been contending, shall be effected through' the medium of Representatives from the Burghs them selves. when there is every reason to believe the re form would be as speedy as it would be general— or whether reform shall only be obtained through the medium of the Crown, which is at all times naturally, and we may even add, constitutionally opposed to every thing in the shape of nine vatinti ? The decision of the Com-tenon is, that they have the right—but only when all parties in- • terested apply to them to exercise it. Even this, however, is a great deal—it establishes a principle which we feel eutilled In congratulate the people of S. othind upon, since, if we sire correctly inlorn►- ed, there. •i needy one half of the Burghs in which the people are unanimously agreed an soliciting an entire relthiliOn oh the roman s systent of municipal Vuvtn►ment by Awhich they are at present enthralled.
