Ausrat, FAIR. —This great fair, at
which so many English purchasers attend, commenced
yesterday. A correspondent of SaNnderp' says:—" The
great national emporium for the sale of live stock will
Le opened here to-morrow, which will be the show day
for sheep. Already a large number have arrived from
Roscommon, Clare, Mayo, and the interior of Galway.
Owing to the mortality, however, of last year, it is appre-
hended that there wal be a deficiency in the number ct
sheep to be offered for sale. However well grounded the
anticipation, it is entirely speculative, and nothing like •
correct opinion can be formed until the Race-park is sees
to-morrow morning. Notwithstanding the prices obtained
at ]bate, Sock owners feel confident that the sheep
fair will be a brisk one. The town is filling very fast.
every trek bringing its quote to swell the general throng.
For the sheep fair, which will commence in the morning.
thousands of sheep of superior quality have arrived, aid

town, nuitlepollard. his; also several superior Into of sheep
