MAIDSTONE.—With the fine weather of the past week
our flopping hoe progrcased more favorably than we might have
anticipated at thin late season of the year. It is also gratifying to be
able to BLitt that where the grounds were in a high state of cultiva-
tion, the produce his hilly realised the anticipations of the grower in
quantity, and into weight and quality far eaceeded his most sanguine
hopes. Picking in many instances will last a fortnight longer.
Although the two or three crack grounls in this pariah will not grew
so many as they did last year, there are many that will make up be
their deflcieney, and we ezpeet to see the Rochester collection our-
pua the last mar's growth both In quantity and quality. Our cer-
reepordent, upon whom judgment we hare had always good reason
to rely, wires us the following intimate of the duty. We confess it
la far higher than, from all the inquiries we have been able to make,
we think the malt wlll justify--by nearly _ 20,0001. flowerer' we
glue it (or what It is worth. Time alone will show who is right.

Bioneverv.—We are now do the midst of picking; they come
down quite as well as was expected. Weigh well and are something
more than an overage crop.—Baantso.—The hope here COMe down
fully equal to expectation. —Esse Isatrioa.—Our samples an
much finer than they have been for *Mc years past, but take the
parish through, the yield in weight will not be equal to last year'.
growth.—Yeaanno.--The effects of the wind are now more appa-
rent. The hope are rendered browner in colour et week or ten days
sooner, and many destroyed. We shall have but few bright samples this
season, es, even from the first, the colour was not good. The *Mere
so usual pick the worst hope first. The quality of the In this
neighbourhood is better than It bus been for years ; InleM I never
knew It Hoer. One proof is the weight. We shall grow a good crop
in spite of the wind in this neighbourhood.— Yrrewoarst.—Our
hope come down quite to the satlefaction of the planter.—Caax-
saook.—The picking is going oa favourably.—Mai defeat. Jeered of
this day.

CATTLE, &C.—BASINGSTOKEFAIR—The supply of
Sheep and Lambs was rather under that of last year, the
number penned being about 4,000. There were several pens
of a superior description, but the generality were rather
inferior. Sellers insisted on high rates, but the attendance
of dealers being limited and feed scarce, the trade ruled
dull, many remaining unsold. A pen of Prussian Lambs,
recently imported, attracted great attention from their
novelty ; the price demanded, 295., could not be reat;zed,
and th.y were not sold. The show of Horses and Cows was
small, with little business doing. The following prices may
be quoted . Ewes, 28s. to 42e. ; wether, 28s. to 38. Lambs,
14s. to 255. per head.

COLCHESTER, Sept. 25.—There was rather a limited sup-
ply of stock at market, and prices were quite as high as last
week, and considerable business wee transacted in the Sheep
and Lamb line. The Beast trade was languid, and prices
dull. Pigs keep up in value, and ages were brisk.
NORWICH, Sept. W.—Our market exhibited a good show
of store Cattle, there being a fair attendance of buyers.
Trade for fresh Scots and Oxen was a little better, but the
middling Beasts remain in the same dull state. Fat Beasts
a dull trade, at 86. 6d. to 9s. per stone of 141 b. The pens
were well filled. Keeping Sheep a dull sale. Lambs of all
kinds from Is. to 2.. per bead lower, without a clearance. In
fact the numbers were greater than the demand. Fat Sheep,
per atone, Bs. 6d. to 9s. Ewes, of all ages, from Is. to ls.6d.
per head lower ; and many lots unsold.
SHRorox FAIR (second day), Sept. 27.—A large number
of lean stock were for sale, for which trade was very heavy.
The large Devon, Hereford, and other Oxen could scarcely
sell at any price' though offered at a considerably lower
figure. Some of the moderate-aired, with the best Runts,
Welsh, and short-borne, made better prices ; yet they were
lower by full 20s. per head than at Barnet (that being the
dealers' report). The best Cows, in milk or down calving,
sold pretty well at from 141. to 161. each ; in-Calved Heifers
at from 121. to 141. each. Some two-year-old
Bulls fetched from 101. to 141. each. Ball Calves
and yearlings from 51. up to 81. each. Largo Calves, for
fattening, from 21. to 41. each; fat, I Is. to 12.1. per score.
Of prime riding and driving Nags and Horses a short num-
ber, but of all inferior animals more than usual ; beg ani-
mals of this class sold well, while poor and aged hung on
hand. Of the heavy and cart kind there were plenty; the
best two and three-year-old Colts, fit for heavy work, either
in London or among the contractors or agriculturists in the
country, found a good sale, at great prices, some going as
high as 401. each ; while very moderate animals fetched 201.
to 251.
Swim:Pox, Sept. 27.—The supply of lean Bouts rather
above the avenge number, for which trade was very de-
pressed, at lower prices. Oood-shaped Alderney and other
Cows and Heifers, sold better. Calves went of rather freely.
Of lean Hogs and Pigs a great number; trade dull; prices
down 21. per head. Fat bacon Hog also lower, by at least
6d. per some, the large not making more than lls. ; very
primers, small, lls. 6d. per score.
Euotx Sarrixamtbfartiar.—Theshow of cattle, though
not large, was, on the whole, tolerable, and among which
there was a considerable number of good quality. As was
anticipated from the unfavourable report from Falkirk
Tryst, the demand was very dull. From no Elgin market
for a long time have so many Cattle gone home unsold,
There were scarcely any south dealers on the stance,
and Meets, out fee winterir2g% were unwilling to
give the prices allied, while sellers were equal:3 unwilling
toy ield. There were some good Sheep in the market, which
met a brisk Bale at good prices.

HARICIL TV! AND Lame FAlL—Though there was a
large show of both Cheviot and Leicester Rams, the number
on sale was not so great u last year, but there were far more
Lambs exposed than on any previous occasion, from 3,000 to
4,000 small or pally Lambs being shown on the first day, in
first-class. The best description of both Cheviot and Leicester
Rams were in demand, but the middling and inferior Sheep
were dull, and a considerable number stood over for the fol-
lowing day. A. good many were sold; still, owing to the
want of rasa, and the overstock in the market, several
lots were removed without being sold. On the se-
cond day there was only a limited show of both
Sheep and Lambs, but more than equal to the demand,
though Lambs were selling fully better than the previous
day. The following may be the general run of prices ;
Cheviot Tups of the best description from 61. to 81 ; some
particular Sheep a sovereign or two more ; while the ordi-
nary run brought from 3!. to 41. 101. ; and Inferior Sheep
from 30s. to 60s. Leicester Rams, for superior Sheep. 31. to
41. 45., and even some 41. 10a. to 51. ; inferior, from 40s. to
66e. Half. bred small or pally Lambs, best sorts, fetched from
12e. to 141.; inferior from 9s. to lls. ; Cheviot., 71. to
10s. ; inferior, 61. 6d. to 6s. &I.

TIER Mum or Quo MARILET.—Fat and hardy quays
and stirksjor wintering, were in request, at nearly about
last market prices. Lean cattle sold at about 10 per cent.
below what they brought then. Many of the Sheep shown
were of inferior quality, and the sale was everything but
brisk; but the prices were on the advance. Wedders sold
from 13s. to 184. There was a good show of white-faced.
Owing to the prices asked by the sellers there was compara-
tively little business transacted.
