NORFOLK ORRAT TOMBLAND FAlR.—This im-
portent fair, which es repels sheep is one of the largest
held to the country, took place at Norwich on Thursday.
The day was bright and mild, and special trains poured in
a pat somber of Maiten fiesn Norfolk, Suffolk, Oen-
bridgeshite, and the selpiaing caentite. The show of stock
took plain on the Castle-hill, which presented throughout
the day an animated sad picturesque spectacle. The sup-
ply of stare cattle wee mesidenble, and far in excess of
the demand. Neese were about maintained, but miles
proceeded sluggishly, and a great proportion of the lots
offered remained cm hand at the close of business. The
abosthorns were the breed most Imply represented, bat
there were a few Scats, Devoe', and Irish on the bill. &ast-
henia were quoted Is. 6d, to 4s. ; and fresh in condition,
4s. 6d. to 64 ; Seats, 4s. to 4s. 6d. ; Devout, U. to 4s. 6d.
and Irish, Is. to 3s. 6d. per 14lbs. (setimatel weight when
fat). The number of sheep penned was larger than in many
former years, and was alternated at 15,000 to 20,060.
The exact total nowt be given, as the dues of the fair and
weekly market are farmed by lemmas, who have of oeurse
an interest in keeping the extent of their returns to them-
selves. The show of hoggets was excellent, and several
lota shown by Lord Stattonl, Messn. Bertram, Sharman,
Crime, and other parties well known in the neighbourhood,
were much admired. Lord Stafford's lot realised the high
price of 625. per bead, bat this was, of course, an excep-
tional figure. Business was, however, animated, and an
advance of Is. to Is. 6d. per bead was generally noticed.
The primeet lots made 51s. to 545. ; big adfull of condi-
tion, 465. to 49.. ; strong and useful, 40s. to 43e. ;
335. to 36a. ; and poor and ordinary, 255. to 265. per bad
Fat sheep (naked), tia. to Bs. fid. per 1411 e. The part of the
ground appropriated to horses wee well filled, and some
clever and- fine.actioned colts were offered. A pretty good
business was done in this department, and fair prices were
realised. Oa the whole, the fair well supported its long-
sustained reputation.

How Tin CREDIT Or THE BANE WAS SATED IN
FORTY-FRI.-1745 was a critical year for the company.
The success of Charles &mud in Scotland produced an
absolute panic in Loudon. He Wu expected there daily.
Walpole doubted. Many a mtholio nobleman was sager to
join the standard of revolt ; anneals fled to the country with
their valuables. The monarch embarked his treasure. and
was prepared to follow them. A run was roads on the Bank,
' and stock fell to forty-nine. When news mine that the Jaco-
bites had reached Derby, the gates of London were kept
closed. The train bands did duty, the Tower was jealously
guarded ; few or no shopkeepers took down their shutten ;
and there win no bushier, going on but at the Bank. and the
form it took them was moat disastrous. Payment was not
refused, but the corporation husbanded its specie by hiring
persona to preset Dotes which were to be honoured with
payment in sixpences. These parties going out at one door,
t back the cub by another, so that the real holders
cod never and as opportunity to preseot their notes—an
odd expedient, by which we are told that the Bank pre•
served its credit.—Cary Peru.
