AT DIVIZIO GRESS FAIR, on Thursday, the nurnder
of sheep mooed wits eonsiderably under an average, and
did not exceed 7,ooo—hise than was almost ever known
at this fair (excepting the year of the &same, 1862).
The great scarcity of keep mused buyers to mot with
much caution ; stiU a few lots realimd the late Wey-
hill prim, but generally speaking the trade was dul;
former rates could scareely be malotaieed, and many
useful lois remained unsold. Mr. Curniek made 49a.
per hoed for a prime lot of wether sheep fit for the
butcher, which were mold shortly afterwards at Is. per
bead advance and Mr. Large, of Why r, obtained 33e. ed.
for • superior lot of 10) Ismbs —the best in the fair. Good
ewes sold from 345. to 39, per head ; lambs from 20s.
to 30, ; wethers from 41e. to 50s. These were the
general figures. The cattle fair, se regards quantity,
was mesh as usual at the season of the year. Anything
fit for the botcher sold readily, but inferior animals of
every description met a very dull sale, and could not
and purchasers. The horse fair was large, and really
useful animals made fair prises, but other sorts could
seemly be made into money. A good show of agricul-
tural implement., in which those of Hoar,. Brown and
farmed a eonspicioui feature.

Toll TRIAL OW MULLWIL—Tbere I, every reason to
believe that Franz Moller will he put upon Ida trial at
the missions of the Central Criminal Court, on Wednes-
day. being the day on which the jarlgos usually attend

before the Lord Chief Heron, and possibly, also, before
Mr. Baron Martin, sitting with him, for until lam
years. it used to he an almost invariable practice for
two jade., at least, and occasionally three, to preside
at the trial f prisoners charged with capital crimes at
the Central Criminal Court. There is • prevailing
impression at the Old Bailey that Muller will
he tried before two judges. The counsel for the
Croon will be the Solicitor General (Sir It.
P. C.illier), Mr. Hardinse Giffard, and Mr. Bewley.

pared. Mr. Beard bed a long interview with the
