BRIG ffTON, Sem 7.

At Friday's Fair, about 11.400 sheep and lambs
were penned for sale, and neatly all disposed of, at
the following prices, viz,—Wethers. from 345. to
424.—Eses, from 325. to 41s.—Wether Lambs,
17s. to 23s.—Ewe Lambs, Is.. to 211 s.—and a few
young Rams, from four to 15 guineas.
Upwards of one hundred and tweute. persons.
chiefly buyers and sellers of sheep, dined at the Old
Ship 'Fave:n ; and more than sixty at the King and
Quern Inn.
After the removal of the cloth, at the Oid Ship, a
resolution was entered into by a great number of
the farmers and corn dealers present. for regulating
the time of holding she Corn.market here. Ile
lateness of the hour hitherto adopted for business,
was generally complained of. sad an agreement fot
dining at two, and proceeding to business at three,
in future, between Michaelmas end Lady Day, was
sulsscribed to by between thirty and forty very re-
spectable farmers and dealers.
The large Camera Ohs:ura. placed near the
Steyno, ha. become, as we expeßed, a spettscle of
i great nate, and general approbation. The proprietor
was lar week honoured with visits trom her Grace

This place still minimum the resort of gaiety and
fashion. The daily addition of numerous visitors
adds moth variety to the evening promenade upon
the &eyes, and crowds the two public Libraries
even to excess The evenings becoming now some-
what chilly, the company fk Nato these rooms at
an earlier hour than hitherto. and commence the
discussion of politics, and an innocent weenie of
gambling. which tends much to prevent that venni
which would otherwise prevail. It is astonishing
to see with what enthu►iasm the ladies, as well as
the gentlemen. engage in the game. or rather lot-
tery, which is there pearlised. An elderly pa-
tient-tn. of the Jewish pe•snasien. his Lady. end
three young and beautiful Jewesses, have. upon
various occasions, rendered themselves essinestly
conspicuous. by adventuring in almost all the lot-
teries that take place at Donaldson's and Pollard's
Libraries. and also at Butt's, the Jeweiler. The
game is denominated Ons-real Les, and is so ex-
ceedingly simple. that it may be engaged in by the
merest stranger, immediately upon axis entering any
of these rooms s—As many small printed tickets
are issued as there are cards in the pack. for each
of which the adventurers pay one shilling, and,
taking up any particular number they may super-
stitiousiy conceive likely to be lucky, write down
opposite thereto upon the list, any fictitious name
or lndicr-sus sentence they please. When the whole
tickets are disposed of. the cards are shuffled by
some fair one, and afterwards told over, one by one
and the names and ludicrous sentences read over
for the entertainment of the company. The palm
is entitled to a prise of 165.. each ace to 55., and
each king to 4s ; those who get prises taking goods
to the am.'wit. This promotes the busiueu of the
place, and affords an oppottuoity, to strangers. who
are to remain but a few days. to contribute some-
thing towards its expenses, so es to compensate, in
some degree. for their nonaubscription to the
Library. . The gentleman above alluded to. as well
as his whole family. are •beamed to he particularly
fortunate in getting prises upon every occasion.—
He was also observed to be peculiarly conversant
with lieut. Ingleby. styling himself to be The
King of all l.onjurers," who exhibited lately at the
Old Ship; and it is therefore generally presumed,
that he hat acquired, by that attention, some of his
conjuring tricks.
Among the accidents which occurred here in con-
s•ouencenf the severe winds of Saturday and Sun-
day. we have to notice the damage done to a Patio-
tante, ended near the Rock Buildings. Marine Pa.
