aliarioter of the bona at the Nis, there can be no
doubt that first,alsee hunters were unusually sumo, and
the same may he said of large well-bred carriage horses.
There were • good many Inquiries for both, principally
by English dealers, and any that changed hands were
sold at pretty high prima. The supply of superior
hones will large, but there was very little demand for
them, and the sales were few and inconelderable. The
experience of the horse fairs of Ballinesloe proves
satisfactorily the!, while there is alwaye a fair—if, in.
deed, not A high market—for well-trainod first-clam
hunters, oliesgers, and carriage horse., there is very
little business done in the animals claimed by dealers as
" screws" and " prrons," numbers of which generally
return home with their proprietors unsold. On this
micasion by far the greater portion of the low ohmmeter
horses remained unsold. Much diffioulty is eiperiencied
in getting quotations, and In many instances those given

at the prices appended i—Mr. Tule sold a hunter
at EltEl. He alio sold a hunter for £135, and a
carriage horse for 1.33. Mr. Murray, of Manoliester,
purchased six horses at various prices, ranging from
£lOO to £l7O end £2OO. Major Darcy, of Castleperk,
bought two horses for phseton use at £4O cub. Mr.
Bolton, of Slane, sold a four-year-old untrained filly
for £7O. Mr. Mangan, of Grohan, sold to Captain

Thursday Nveninp.—The numerous breeds of cattle
which for the last day or two had occupied most of the
parks in the vicinity of the town were driven into the
! fair green at an early hour thie morning. Estimating
from the extent of ground covered with stock, we should
say that the numbers will be considerably over those of
laat year. ,A very large supply having been expected,
the Leinster buyers deterinined to shorten prices. No
businees was transacted until after 7 o'clock, when • few
head of first-elan cattle, in excellent condition, changed
owners, at • reduction of about 43a. per head on last
year's priced. The prices offered for first-class store
heifen were, on an average, 364. per head under the
rates of last October. Of course there was not so great
& decline in smaller heifers. We may mention that one
gentleman who bought heifer, of this class at our Mel
fair at 08 134. &I. per head wee only able to obtain
£7 10s. for them to-day, having lost their keep besides
a reduction in prioe. Of worse the result of the day's
trouisaatious has been unsatiafaotory to the etockmaaters
of Connaught, and, though many farmers were obliged
to part with their osttle,_others proffered to drive them
or the green unsold. -The reduction in the wipe. was
too great not to be injuriously felt by the pagers. It is
but right to observe that the Leinster farmers who
puraliued their stook here lan year at high figures
suffered severely trent the unamountable panic which
took place in the cattle market 'subsequent to the Octo-
ber of 18117. Several gentlemen who farm large tracts
in the midlend counties sustained heavy louse by the
nnexiaoted fall in the rate of cattle at the spring and
summer fairs of this year. It seems prohibits that the
landed proprietors in the west, who have themselves
sleeked extensive farms, will after the prim of to-day
prefer to have fixed rente paid by industrious tenants,
rather than be dependent In future on the fluctuations
of the oattle-market. Indeed, it must be admitted that
for seine pars peat cattle had attained an artificial
value, as they were seldom or ever sold at what they
were intrinsically worth, butnerally at much higher
figures. The as crisis hat length come, and the graziers
of thin west have been oblip to submit to a reduction
in prime At 3 o'ulook there waa still a large amount
of cattle unsold.

Henry Mussy— a candidate for the county upon a late

Lord Lieutenant and prosperity to Ireland," thus spoke ;
