SAT.ISIItIiV MICII.IELNIA4 FAIR, Oct. 22.—There was
very little business done here today either in Cheese or
Onions. The former maintained yesterday's prices, hut the
latter, in order to elf.ct a elvar.uwe, were easier to buy.
The weather continued very fair, and there was a lull at-
tendance in the plea4nre fair. On the whole everything
has gone off in a peaceable wanner.

NEW RULE ItELATING TO THE SITTINGS OF
COUNTY Cocurs.—ln the recent rules issued for the regu-
lation of County Courts, there is one declaring that "On
or before the Ist of January, 1842, the judges shall appoint
the days and hours for holding each of their courts during
the months of January, February, and March in the said
year, and on or before the lirgt day of ever) month after the
said month of January the judges shall appoint the days
and hours far holding each of their courts during the month
next following the three months previously appointed, and
a notice of ouch appointment shall forthwith be put up by
the clerk in sonic conspicuous place in the court house, and
in the office of the clerk ; and whenever any day so ap-
pointed fiat holding the court shall he altered, notice of such
alteration and the time when it will take elleet shall be put
up in some conspicuous place in the court house and clerk's
mike, prarided that the judge may from time to time hold
additional courts besides thou hcridubefore required to ho
appointed. Two courts shall nut be held before the same
judge in one day." It is to be hoped that the time wheat
the courts aro to rise each day will he stated, which notice
would benefit all parties and prevent late ,•ittingl.

TEE 1)00Y OF WILI.s.—A lady, of cousidernble
beauty and still young, died a few weeks ago (says the (
aldeltnnotel) at the Datignolles. As she hail lived alone,
the jugs ale polio, of the district took toossession of ilVe Mr-
niture and effeett on behalf of the heirs. Amongst other
things was a rather large collection of richly bound books.
On opening one of the volumes, the juice de totals fouud a
will; in a second there was a sassanal will; anal in nearly
all the others there were others. Each of these wills was
of a different date, anal each constituted a dill; rent person
universal legatee. These legatees were all young inea-
-1 officers of the army, advocates, shopmen, artists, actors,
students, architects, physittimm—in short of every pro-
fession, and of almost every class of society. In-
quiries having been instituted, it was ascertained that
the lady had married eight or ten years before,
but, being of a romantic disposition, hail mon vio-
lated her fidelity to her husband, and, haring aban-
doned him, had indulged openly in intrigues with every
young mall who struck her fancy. Her relations with
each were, however, of short duration, owing to the fickle-
ness of her disposition ; but having, it appears, a sort of
monomania for making wil s, she regularly drew up one in
favour of every new lover. Each will thus set aside that
which preceded it ; but the last of all was valid. The jugs
du pail caused the person named in this last one to ho
sought for, and he turned out to be a young artist without
fortune. lie was warmly congratulated on his good luck,
anal calculated on being placed in comfortable circumstances
fur lift:a—the' lady having an income of 30,000 fr. a year;
but a few days aao the husband lomat nted himself, and de-
stroyed all the artist's hopes by producing his marriage eam-
tract, which established hint inheritor of all his wife might
leave at her death.

A WI.NY. CI-MAR.—On the end of a stick gleams
a monkl of candle, which sends a light flickering Over tho
plate like a Jack o'Lantern; running down the low-
vault, roof; dancing among the cobwebs as it it would
tear them ; and lighting up walls of bottle-ends, that point
grimly towards us like batteries of cannon. This is the re-
gion of bins. Here there are bins six bottles deep; for of
bottles full of port, there are four thousand three hundred.
Our attention is directed to the port of Sir Charles
%Vetherall ; port, we arc given to understand, worthy of a
lawyer, a wit, and (remember the antique, respectablo
orthodoxy of the wine) a tory. The light falls next on some
champagne of fourteen years' bottling; each bottle trailing
a venerable beard, and slowl)• maturing into mellowed
glory in its recess. These bottles, like

the actin, a or the just,
Smell sweet, and W.W.m in the dust.
Here, also, in tome champagne of the vintage of '46—a pe-
culiarly wed champagne vintage; a happy year for cham-
pagne lovers. Lucky the man who secures the wine of that
year; it being common among dealers to mix the wines of
various vintages. Denouncing the practice with crowider-
abk we pass on—between hecatombs of Johan-
nisberg, Tukay, and Burgundy—to more port in what is hap-
pily named " u lining bin." Port keeps its ancient popularity
still ; for wine-bibbing people obey the French adage, and
always return to their first love. In thin bin is some very
fair port, through which Jones, u full. bodied member of
" your committee," looks knowingly as he holds it in the
light ; and over which Smith smacks his contented
