AO extraordinary c anmotion was observed in th e
tide, in Truro river, on the morning of Saturday
' se'nnight ; the sea had been ebbing about an hour .
' and a half, when it suddenly recoiled, with a very
' rapid current, and flowed about eighteen inches
perpendicular at Truro qu;ty—then ebbed off. and
reflowed a second tone. We have not heard whe-

which destroyed Old Lisbon, similar commotion
was observed in the sea on the Cornish coast,
we cannot but view it in the present case with some
apprehensions.
At Chester fair, last week, a great number of
horses were shewn, the prices of good ones were
excessively high. but those of middling shape,
were dull of sale; fat horned cattle, sheep, and
pigs, were lower than they have been for some
time, on account of the great importation from
Ireland ; lean stock, in particular, were never of-
fered so low, and a great number were driven away
unsold. Leather of all descriptions was also low.
The season being fine for bleaching, the Irish linens

brisk sale; the fine goods maintaining their last
pckes, bat the coarse goods are rather cheaper.—
There never was a greater influx of Manchester
goods, and few persons ever remembered them of-
fered so low; there was. however, a great paucity
of buyers in the market.—Yorkshire cloths and
Welch flannels were is abundance, and
