CURIOUS Fox Liu NT.—Captain Jones's bounds having joined
Mr. Smith's crack pack, met a few days ago at Aymestry, where
they found two foxes. The hounds divided, the greater part of
them following one fox to Aymestry Croft, close to Leominster,
back again to Croft Gatley, thence to the Hay-park, and from
that place to the neat of Solway, Esq., where they Idled, only
three out of a large field being in at the death. Seven of the
hounds took the other fox away round the neighbouring woods,
where, after a gallant run of five hours, Reynard surrendered
his brush.
A few days ago, as Stephen Stubberfield, gamekeeper to Sir
Charles Lamb, of litauport, near Battle, was looking after the
game in the preserves with a sing), hailer, he unkennelled a fine
dog fox, which, after a chase of Why minutes, the hailer came up

till the gamekeeper arrived at the spot, and put an end to it by
shooting the fox, which welgheu 20 pounds.

MARKETS.
CORN EXCHANGE, MONDAT. JAN. 2.
There has been a good supply of Wheat and Flour since this day
ae'nnight, with a fair arrived of Wheat this morning; the trade
however, dull, and the sales chiefly confined to the best ram, which
are about 2s. per quarter higher, though we do not consider
them dearer than last week (the Increase in the measure being
folly equal to this advance); in the middling and ordinary qua,
tides there is scarcely any business doing.
Beans and Pease of both sorts are certainly cheaper; bet fine
fresh Barley, being rather scarce and in demand by our maltaten
obtalos somewhat better terms ; the low grinding qualities, hoes-
ever, have by no means improved in value.
We have a most abundant supply of Oats new at market, Ind
the sales are exceedingly dull, 'and last week's ptices with dd.
alley obtained, notwithstanding the new measures making the trade
evidently cheaper.
In Flour and other articles no alteration to nodes.

GREAT YARMOUTH, D0c.31.
Our supplies of Grain throughout the week have been *barter
tnan ever remembered at this season. Wheat is certainly dealer
Is. to 25., and Barley Is. fur finest, and a greater advance on a few
large lots. The Norwich and Yarmouth merchants have agre.d
to start on the new law on Monday next, and buy and sell by
no other than the Imperial bushel, which difference of measure,
at present prices, amounts to le. lid. on Barley, and Is. 100.
per quarter on Wheat—the farmers quite willing to assent to the
new bushel. Annexed are prices per quarter to the grower, pee
imperial bushel.
