country has been for ware time back, and still con-
tinues to reus4in in a peifect state of tranquillity."
'rhe fair of this toms, which took place on Satur-
day last, presented us with a lively and sorrowing
image of distress ; dry coos went off. some foe eighty,
some for forty, hod eves some for thirty and twenty
shillings; sheep and lambs 'instituted a reduction
of full forty per cent.t pigs in fat were the only ar-
ticle that bore any tolerable value.—(Atlilme

The fair of Clam, which ended on Monday, was
marked with the sew gloomy depression ; mulch
come fell below every reasonable standard ; fat pigs
alone went off at middling prices.--(fbid.)

rate was decided in Station Park, near Chesterfield,
