a large supply at this fair, ranged from dye to sir
shillings per sack. The monthly cheese market

THE WILTSHIRE CHAMPIOX COURSING MEEITSG.
—This celebrated meeting commenced on Tuesdar
last, at Stonehenge. The attendance was the
that has been seen for many years, notwitlist=
the counter-attractions of Salisbury Fair and Market-

day. There were upwards of 360 horsemen on the
ground, and the presence of a considerable number
of ladies on horseback, added much to the gaiety a
the scene, and evinced the favour with which this
invigorating and rapidly-increasing sport is regarded
by the fair sex. Among those present were
the Earl of Sefton, Lord and Lady Grey de Wilton.
Sir Edmund and Lady Antrobna, the Misses Ant.
bus, Sir F. H. H. Bathurst, Capt. Bathurst, Capt.
Wyndham, Mr. Campbell Wyndham, Mr. and Miss
Jobb, and Miss Louisa Jobb ; Mr. Payne, Mr. F.
Parkes, Mr. and Mrs. F. Long, Mr. W. Long, Mr.
Parkinson, Mr. Smythe, Mr. Saxton, Mr. Griasell,
Mr. Hole, Mr. Rendall, Mr. Allison, Mr. Jackson,
Mr. East, Mr. Raxworthy, Mr. Eadaile, Mr. J.
Hill, Mr. Harris, Mr. Begbie, Ice., together with
other well-known members of the coursing world.
The hares were numerous and strong, and nearly all
the courses unusually long, so that the Ameabur,
Challenge Cup Stakes were deferred until Weidner •
day. The meet was at Beacon-hill on that day, an l
at Bidford on Thursday. On Friday it took ;gee
again at Stonehenge. The sport was exceedmer
good throughout the meeting. The Larl of Sefton,
Captain Wyrulham, R. G. Jebb, Esq., J. S. Bowie,
EN., and C. E. Rend:ill, EN., were the steward,;
Mlleorge, the judge ; and Mr. Stratford, tie

Mantrionoi•tat. Stabile Frir.—There was a.
kirgeattendanue at our statute fair on Saturday wee) ,
and before the middle of the day most of those pr
senting themselves for hire, found situations, awl
very few returned without procuring employmen
The day was remarkably fine, and in consequen.s
many from the surrounding villages embraced the
opportunity of being present. There was the nsixd
compliment of shows, dancing booths, ke., to amuse
the spectators, but from the nature of most of the per-
formances we believe that little was learnt of a bane*
tidal character.

APPLlKAHAW.—Destruelire Fire.—Shortly after
eleven o'clock on the night of Saturday week, a fire
of a must destructive character broke out at Applo-
shaw, on the farm of John Edwards, Eat. It was
first discovered and is supposed to have originated ni
the end of a large barley barn adjoining the cart-
horse stable. The carter it appears left the stable
at 9 o'clock, after attending to the horses, and aver,
that the light he used was in the stable 'author's,
and that he did not on any occasion remove the light
from the leathern, and at the present time the origin
of the disaster is shrouded in mystery. On the alarm
being given no time was lost in removing the hor-
ses, which fortunately was performed, although the
stable was on tire at the time, two fat pigs, however,
from the intense beat could not be removed, and
were burnt, as were also some poultry. The rene
of buildings on the farm is very extensive, the site
co. • ing an area of nearly an acre of ground, alid
bctore the occurrence consisted of three large barns,
a rick-house standing on thirty-six atones, • lards
stable, a granary, besides other minor buildings, Vie
whole of which, together with three large whest

The following summary of the Treaty of Pam has
been received at Yr. Renter's °Bice :
Zonicn, Tuesday.
The following is an analysis of the Treaty of Pew*
concluded between France and Austria as signed by the
Plenipotentiaries, but which has not yet received the
ratification of the two Government'.

_
The treaty commences with the usual preamble :
Desirous of putting an end to the calamities of war,
and forming into a definite treaty the preliminaries made
at Tillstranca, the two Emperors have named their
Plenipotentiaries and communicated to them fell
powers, and the said Plenipotentiaries have agreed to
the following

That pea.; is concluded, go.
France returns to Austria the Austrian steamers
mined during the war, but on which judgment has not
been passed,

Atistrus_vres lip to Lombardy, with the exception of
Mantua. Peachier, and as fax as the frontier line axed
by • special commission, the limit of which is almady
known._

- The Emperor of the French declares that be transfers
these portions of Lombardy to the King of Sardinia.
Then follow the articles concerning the jurisdiction—
namely, the option of the employees of Piedmont and
Austria to remain in the service of the two Govern-
ments, and to have the option of transferring within •
year their goods to Piedmont, and riee erred; they
would, however, retain their right to any property left
behind them when they move their domicile from Aus-
tria to Sardinia, or from Sardinia to Austria.
The pensions acquired by persons in Lombardy will
be respected and plid by the new Government which
will be established to those entitled to them, and in
those cases where it is so stipulated to the widows and
children of those pensioned.
Then follows the settlement of the debt, which is the
subject of two articles, one of which is an additional
agreement for the mode of payment. Aeconling to
these articles, Piedmont is to pay to Austria 40,000,000fi.
(Commaions-Afiiisze), and besides is rendered responsible
for three-fifths of the debt of the Monte Lombardo-
Venetien. Altogether the debt transferred to Santini&
amounts to 250.000,000 f.
Then follows article which runs thus :
Desiring that the tranquillity of the Church and the
power of the Holy Father should be insured, and being
convinced that this end could not be obtained in a more
effective manner then by • system suited to the wants
of the populations, and by reforms the necessity of
which has been already recognised by the sovereign
Pontiff, the two contracting parties will unite their
efforts in order that • reform in the administration of
the States!, of the Church should be carried out by His
Holiness.

King of Sardinia, and his representative at the Zurich

A curious model of monster omnibus has been
exhibited on the boulevards of Paris. This omnibus will
iscoonnocalate 45 passengers. The upper port represents

back common to both. There is likewise a third bench

The beamed de Marmot's says that the oyster fishery
on that coast has been most productive since the bit of

fish taken, the price is higher this year than usual, 40f.
being freely given for • barrel of oysters. Thirty years
since the value was only 51. and even at that price it
was difficult to find purchasers.

The proposed expedition to China has excited great
emulation among the maratium Powers of Europe. In-
dependently of the squadrons that Austria and Pnissia
intend, it is said, to send to the Chinese Will, Sweden
and Denmark are stated to be likewise preparing to
despatch ships to watch the operations of the Anglo-
French forces.
