WORCESTER GREAT HOP FAIL—Our annual fair
was this year great in every sense of the word, and pur-
chasers were ehserved among the Hops from as far north as
Leith, and, in fact, from all parts of the kingdom. The
number of pockets brought in amounted to about 3,000.
There was a large attendance of buyer, and an advance of
2s to 3s. per cwt. on fine and good Rope was generally ob-
tained, and the prices ranged from 41. to 41. 10s. ; a few
very choice samples fetched 4/. 13s. The samples are this
year unusually fine. The following is the price list issued
by one of the first houses in this city :-1846, Worcester, 80s.

CATTLE.
SkrITITTIELD, Two riekek.—The supply of beasts
to-day is large ; comparatively very few, however, of the best
qualities, which descriptions make fully as much as on Mon-
day. Second-rate are a very heavy sale, and a clearance
cannot be effected, although lower prices are submitted to.
I We have 260 from Holland, 70 from Spain, 140 from Scot-
land, about 350 Lincolns and Leicester, and about 190 from
the neighbourhood of Louden. The number of Sheep and
Lambs is rather on the increase, which causes a dulness in
the trade. Our highest quotations for sheep are with diffi-
culty realised, and Lamb is fully 2d. per Mrs. lower. From
Holland we have scarcely 500, which is a very considerable
falling off. Calves arc not plentiful; there are very few
from Holland ; trade is quite as good ; a few of the choicest
qualities make rather ever ss. 'lite number of Piga u large,
but the demand being very great, we notice very little dif-
ference in the trade. Neat porkers maintain late prices, but
a dulness is perceptible in the sale of larger hogs, and rather
lower prices submitted to.

WtiEnwELL Su gyp FAIR, St:l7. 24.—There were
for sale a greater number of Sheep than for several
years past. At first ads anced prices were demanded ; brat,
ere many sales enuld he efleeted, a reduction had to be sub-
mitted to. Opinions varied as to the real falling 'Ain price,
the description and quality of the stocks materially min.,.
Wethers and LIMII)F, lit for the butcher, could not be quoted
lower, or, if so, but very trilling. Ewes, Lambs, and other
stock for %inuring, could be purchased at 2s. per head less
than what was given at Woodbury 11111 fair, on Monday last,
or at last Wilton fair. The finest Wcthers, Lambs, Ewes,
Se., were those of Mr. Dowling's, of Wallop, he attune hav-
ing nearly two thousand perm: d for sale, and some exit, rdi-
nary Lambs, worth more than 40s. each. Mr. .Matthrw,
apothecary, Wick, Dorsetshire, had several /sensor fine flor>t t
long-tailed Wethers aid Lambs. Mr. Payn, Westover. n per.
of 200 tine Lambs. Mr. Wilkins, Longatock, a superior pen
of Ewes, which realised 38s. each. Mr. Tilbury Chillaulten
' made 355. each for his 100 Lambs, and 455. each for 100
Ewes—very prime. Mr. Reeves up Seaborne, had r pen
of 200 fine Wethers, for which 425. each woe asked and
olutrined. Mr. Wade, Barton Stacey, sold Ewes for :as.
each. Mr. Ranger, Longetock, had some first rate Ewes.
Mr. Pero, Crawley, 200 fine Lambs. Mr. Leonard Lywood,
Newton Stacey, 200 Ewes sad 100 Lambs, for which great
prices were obtained. Mr. Bridport sold his Wethers at 3.55.
each. Mr. John Lywood, Upper C:atforil, sold some supe-
rior wet her Lambs at first-rute terms; and many other
famed Hampshire breeders had splendid flocks there. Thorn
were two pem of Spanish Sh beionging to Mr. Allani,
Alrestord, very lean and long on the legs with twisted horns,
not unlike the poorest kind of the Somerset breed—though not
half so fine in either size or quality. There were a great
number of finr Rants for sale, at prices from 2!. 10.. up to
101. each. Mr. Bailey, Stoke Charity ; Mr. Courney,
Worthy ; Mr. Wade, Barton Stacey ; Mr. Trynham,
Houghton, near Stockbriege ; Mr. Osmond Lurkenholt, and
many others, were of very superior breed. There woo some
beasts, principally with and in calf Cows and Heifers, ranging
in price from lltup to 20/. per head. A quantity of Pies
were also on the fair field for sale, but at prices .411 3s. per
head lower than the last week's quotations in this county.
A considerable quantity of the famed Spalding Wheat for
seed was sold, it having been found to answer so well on the
Down farms, that nearly all the farmers have determined to
sow no other, the yield this year from it having been from
four to six quarters per acre, so the Hampshire poor light
land.

S.V.FORD, SEPT. 23.—We had a liberal allow of
stock to day, and, as of late, of prime quality. The demand
appearA every week on the increase, uud, in oonsequence, the
full rate., of last week were not only supported, but rather ex-
ceeded, fur both beef and mutton. A good clearautt• took
place.

EDINBURGH, SEI'T. 23.—The Sheep and Lamb
market this morning was fairly supplied, the demand hcing
Fond, sales were readily effected at fully last week's rates.
Best aged Sheep fully lid. ; inferior, 41d. ; middling quali-
ties, lid. to 51d. per lb. sinking offals, and all disposed of.
Lambs of good quality in great demand, and selling at high
rites; the demand for fogging still continues, which caused
Lambs to be in demand, and nearly all sold. The cattle
market was but indifferently supplied with good quality, for
those that were good sales were brisk, and soon piek«l up at
fully As. ; inferior, ..Ps. lid. to CA.; middling qua' ties, Gd.
