WINCHESTER, Hay 6.—The seasonable weather since
Monday having contribuoed to the improvement of the grow-
, log plant, trade has submitted to less figures; Si. per cwt.
being reduced in Farnham* and other samples.
The warm sunshiny days of the put week have eatly
helped the Hops, which, however, have severely felt the cold
nights. The year 1802, at this time, was very cold, and the
duty paid only 15.463! 1805, colt; ditty, 32,9041 1812,

duty, 24,317!. 1840, cool; duty, 31,0911. We cannot there-
fore expect the duty of this year to be very high. By this
time generally the poles are beginning to get furnished, but
now they are quite naked, sad yet in some instances the flea
has already commenced its attacks.—Canterbury Journal.

CATTLE, &c..-SMITHFIELD, Two o'Chwk.-We
have to-day an txtraordinary supply of Beasts, both u re-
gards number and quell,. The weather being very hot,
and the dead trade excel dingly bad, the d emend is but
small; we have consequently a heavy trade, at lower prices
Although 4.. 4d. in some few instances has been r alined for
a choice Scot, it cannot be quoted es an average of choice
qualities. The number of Sheep is also considerably in-
creased, and the de:nand decreased; trade is very heavy, at
a reduction in most ewes of 4d. per Blhs. Some of the coin-
pletest Downs make ss. 2d. shorn. There are so few come in
the wool now, that we cease to quote them. Lamb is more
plentiful, and, although there is a considerable inquiry for
1•, price* are rather lower. Several Beasts and Steep re-
main unsold. Calves meet with a dull sale, but we cannot
discover any material alteration in v.due. Trade is worse
for Piste, owing to the hot weather: From Miland we have
744 Beasts, 1470 Sheep, and 64 Calves; from Scotland, 400;
and Norfolk and Suffolk, 2,200 Beasts.

very thin show of Horses, and a small attendance of cus-
