At Ipswich Lamb Vair, which began "ou Thurg •da'Y last, there - Was a., greatet• show of Lambs than :there has been for t‘.c;o or three years iiast "; the corn . , puted numbers were from 90 to 160,000. It was three o'clock in the afternoon before the Fair was set, and very little baSiness indeed was done . during the rernaluder of the day. OA Friday the Fair corn-. menced at a tntcli earlier hour, and the sale f polled Lambs was efr:?taed with an tinprecedented briskness. Thcse of the whole and half-bred SOuth Down stock were evidently much.the most eagerly sought after, and so great was the rage for stock of this description, 4114, until, the greater part of the polled Larnbs were sold, very few Norfolk Lambs could be chspOsed of at any proportionate price.-- ' Towards the. evening, however, many parcels of these Lambs were sold; ahci no the Saturday morning . the Fair re-Commenced much more briskly, but de. clinecl after Wards, though very few remained undis posed of in the evening of that day; hut it must be : admitted, that those which were sold did not reach so much by .3s. in the pound as they did laSt year, although generally speaking, they were in much better-condition. Of the South Down breed, Sir CharleS Davers's and Mr. Hol.vard's reached, for the Wether Lambs, 241. per score ; Admiral Wilson's, of Redgrave, and Mr. Walton's, of Tim Worth, obtained 2;31 10s.; Mr. Moseley's, ot'Tofts, were sold at 193. each ; and the half-bred stock obtained from 161. Pet score to 231. ws. at which latter price Mr. Paw-: se 's, of Litigate, were sold; Mr. Derisley's, of Croxton, obtained 2os: each ; Mr. Wolton's, of 'Play ford, ; . - Mr. Cotton's, •of Kesgrave; 18s. 6d. ; and Mr. Fowelfs, of Elden, 16s. 6d. Of the half-bred Leicesters, the Earl of Bristol's Wether Lambs were sold as high as 265. each ;. and the Ewes, though not selected, at 225: 6d. Mr. Arthur BROOK'S Wether Lambs (though the best conditioned of any in the Fair), were sold for 255. each.; Mr. Brown, of Barton, obtained 235: 6d. for his Wether Lambs, and One guinea for his Ewe Lambs ; Mr. Roper's, of Lackford ; Mr. Simpson's, of Flempton ; and some few others, Were sold as high as 221. per score.; Mr. Stutter's, of Eldo, were sold, Ewe and • Wether,.. at 2i 1. Os. per _score. ' The pribes of the best Norfolk Lartibs were, gene rally speaking, not so high, alth6ugli Mr. J. Brookes's, of Horringer, quite fat, sold for 251. per score, and.'. Mr. Beeton's, of Hardwick, altogether, at 231. 10s.. • Mr. Archer, of BLirtori Mills, whose balffbred South Down Lambs, Ewe, and Wether, :were sold at one guinea each, obtained tos. 6d. far his NorfOlk Wether Lambs, and his Ewe Lambs were sold at los. The Duke of Grafton's, 'Mr.. : Worledge's, of Ingham, Mr. Payne's, of Tuddenha,m, and sortie' few:other . Wether Lambs, were sold as high as about 181. per score ; Mr. Twiss's, of. Brettenham,, 161. 15s. and Mr. Gwiles, of Icklingham, 151. but by.far• the greater part of the Heath Lambs of this description Were sold according to their quali ties, at lion' 121. to 1.51. per score. Some few of the Growers not being to comply with the reduelion of the prices of their Lambs were under the necessity of having them driven back again. One of the most singular bargains at Ipswich Fair Vas that of n n•dical Gentleman'selling a favourite. •Poney to a Norfolk Farmer for 50 of the best Sheep in his pen, on condition that lie gave him 181. per store for the remainder, which, however, the for mer was unable afterwards to sell, and as they have hitherto thtived without physic, it is not expeBed that they will much improve by their future keep, previous to the next, Larnb' Fair. r li • The first payment . of tltv Subsidy to ilussla i s uow preparing to be setit to St. l'eturilnirgh.
