BALLINASLOR FAIR.

This great fair was continued yesterday and to-day, and
will extend to Tuesday next. A letter of yesterday's date
gives the fellowisg particulars : The immense quantity of
sheep sold i2l the rue-park yesterday, 60,929, served to
make the fair-greaa today present but a very poor appear-
ance. The enormous sale of yesterday is a little surprising,
seeing that several of the lamest buyers were absent from
the fair attending the market in Smithfield. A good many
of thou gantlets's, however, arrived hare yesterday even-
lag and last night, and this morning there was a very brisk
demised on the fair green for what was not to be bad—good
withers. Nearly an the good lots of this description were
sold yesterday, but still a good many changed hands this
morning, and I should say at a slight advance—considering
their quality—on yesterday's prices. The demand for ewes
this morass was also pretty brisk, but towards midday the
sales of all klub became very slack, and after that hour
scarcely say Isseiseee was done.
AIME do maw born fair will not be until to-mor-
row. Oda a rag roam of very good horses have arrived,
and sewed ides bad taken place. Colonel Roberts, who is
Platell& de die essmeabulary, bas already picked up some
very three year old colt.. George Browne, Soq., of
Stroltestows, sold a very fine four year old horse, by Primate,
for 801. Mr. Patrick There got 4001. for three five year
old hunters, from Mr. &ads. Mr. Charles Kelly gar ILOI.
for a three year old colt.
The settle fair, which will take plus at Monday next,
will, I understand, be an eseeedingly large one, and the
Connaught gentlemen say the prices will be high. The
buyers, however, seem to be of a different opinion; and in
thou sort of mattersters I have long since discovered that spe-
culation is useless, and very few even of the most ezperi-
sued as tell how priors may range until as hour or so
after the fair hu actually cemmeaced. In illustration of
this, I may say, now that the sheep fair is over, the 'ellen
all admit that before entering the fair they fully expected
that prices would be le. dowo, instead of which they bays
been from 2s. to 3s. up. lam usured, however, that the
black cattle fair will be a very large one, and that the stock
will be la prime condition. A considerable quantity of
small heifers have already arrived, and some sales have taken
place. Mr. Tufa sold 79 two-year-old heifers at prices
averaging 121. 12s. 61.
The (dewing is the result of the sheep fairs fe.r the pre-
sent and the last two year. :

Contradictory accounts have been received by telegraph
of this day's horse fair. According to one statement there
was a brisk demand sad good prime for good horses, but
the supply was bad. Another account represents both the
prices and supply as being inferior.
