ALL HALLOW FAIR--No`•. 10.

The show of general stock to-day amounted to 8,669,
being 800 more than was exhibited last year. The ground
was very heavy • and, the rain having fallen in heavy
showers after the market met—somewhere about ten
o'clock—the beasts did not show very well. With the
exception of fat, trade was uncommonly dull up to half-
past eleven o'clock, but a stimulus was given to business
after the above hour, on the arrival of the trains from the
north and south, after which hour the best stroke of trade
done was now accomplished for lean stock. Such a dull
market has not been experienced for many years ; and
the principal cause assigned has arisen from the general
commercial depression in more countries than our own.
The stoppage of payment by the Western Bank has had
its own influence, many parties having had implicit
confidence in it, and a few of them came with various
sums from the west, more particularly those who had
drawn yesterday forenoon. The advance of another one
per cent., in addition to the previous nine, by the Bank
of England, have been the means of keeping back many
English dealers. The principal dealers who purchased
were from the various feeding and: grazing districts
of Scotland, also from Northumberland, Cumberland,
Westmoreland, Yorkshire, and other counties within 150
miles this side of London. The stock was composed of
short-horned cattle, three year olds, two year olds, and
stirks ; Angus, Fife, Galloway, and Irish cattle. There
was never such a large show of Highland cattle seen at
this market.
At the close of the market about two-thirds of the
general stock remained unsold. The Highland two year
old stots would be 5 per cent. below recent markets, and
queys of the same breed met a similar reduction. Angus,
Fife, and Galloway beasts, in value from £l2 to .4'14,
would be about 7i per cent. below the prices obtained at
last Falkirk market. The short-horns, from stirks to
three-year-olds, would be upon average from 303 to 35s
per head under the prices obtained at Jedburgh, Kelso,
or East Linton, with the exception of a few good lots
that met a ready sale in the morning at prices all but
equal to the prices got at the above-mentioned markets.
The Irish cattle, of a good quality, met a fair sale for
three-year-olds and two-year-olds, with a reduction of
about 5 per cent.; and the good condition stirks met a
similar reduction. The inferior kinds were unsaleable.

The fat market was very largely attended, and the
beasts produced were generally of a very good quality.
The first class brought. about lOs per Dutch stone ; the
second quality about 93 6d ; and the third about 93.
A. total clearance was effected of what was fit for
butchering purposes.
The milk cow market was a fair show ; and first class
cows brought from £l2 to 414; second class, Zll to £l3;
and various other useful animals from 47 to .E 8 10s.

Horse Market—The show or draught horses was very
large. The prices were rather en the decline; but there
was a fair trade done among farmers and dealers.

The Cattalo() of Genoa states that Mazzini was there a
few days ago, and that the police had some suspicion of
the matter, and endeavoured to arrest him, hut without
success. The Cattotico does not, however, mention the
source whence it has derived its information.

FATAL EFFECTS OF RESI.TING THE POLICE —On Mon.
day evening two of the constabulary arrested a man for
' possessing a still used for illicit distillation. The
prisoner refused to walk wi!li them unless they took off
the liand.cuff;, which they did; but they had not proceeded
far when three men and a woman came running up to
them, and swore they should not proceed further. They
thee commenced an attack with stones upon the policemen,
during which the woman ceught hold of the hors?., and
made off with the seizere. The police, being exhauste I
from the treatment they had receicel, together with the
weight of their overcoats, which were saturated with the
rain, proposed to relinquish their prisoner along with the
seizure, which was then rescued from them, in preference
to using their firearms; but the fellows swore that they
would not let them go home with their lives. At length
one of these fellows, named Gallagher, who appeared to
have been the leader, whilst struggling with one of the
police to rescue his carbine from him, and which he had
hold of by the harlot, it went off, and he received the
contents of it through his heart, causing ins'aet death,
immediately on which the rest of the fellows made off as
fast as possible, leaving their unfortunate companion dead
on the road.—Derry Sentinel.
