PAlL—Thui fair eras held on Tn.sda3r, and though
there was a very large supply of horses and store
cattle, purchasers were few, and, considering the
exteat of the fair and its importance throughout the
West of Ragland sod South Wales, but corn
lively litUe business was done. There was • large
and capital show of cart horses, of • description
=Sad for agricultural and other heavy
draught purpose*, and though many changed
bands, the trade in them generally mud
be pronounced dull. It would be idle to quote
pricesjulf.a.the animals varied so much in quality
that iisaa paid for them ranged over a great ex-
tent was likewise a plentiful supply of Irish
colts, but of light draught and saddle horses there
were few exhibited for male. Mr. Palmer, porter
merebant, of Stoke's Croft, had a handsome and
powerful colt, capable of trotting twelve miles an
boar, for which we heard the sum of £lOO was
asked. Of store °Milstein was • full supply,obietly
Irish, which were better in condition and quality
than natal. Good ye/Arlinge fetched from VI to
£7 te. Of beef and mutton there was but a samty
supply; indeed, there is little demand for this dam
of stock at oar fair, buyers martin their purchases
, tor the ordinary weekly market. There was scarcely
any fat stock in the fair, and what beef changed
bands might be quoted at, from 00s. to 83a, and very
prime qualities resilieed tte. Madam mud be quoted
at from Old. to 7d. per lb. There was • large
number of very fine rams, which attracted much
attantion, and in the course of the day several lota
of Coanrolds were submitted to the hammer by hfr.
Wm. Tayler, of Chipping Sodbary. The symmetry
of them animals excited much admiration ; they were
bred by Mr. Henry Arnold, of Tormarton, Mr.
Limbuck, of Horton, and Mr. rained
lier:room, of Little Badminton. They fetched mime
ranging from six to eleven There were

six graving steers were stolen from • field near
Cliewton Mendip, the property of Stephen Speed, a
fanner, who traced the thieves to the Bristol fair on
Tuesday, where he found that the impudent
plunderers had int* sold the beasts to • Mr. Look,

had been suited in the market, owing to the low
