So precarious is the state of the times, that it
has become • delicate matter to give • report of
markets and of fairs. We, therefore, made every
inquiry in our power respecting the fair at Penney
last week. The result, however, proved satisfac-
tory, as we learnt that an enlivening briskness pre-
vailed. Beata and sheep went off heater than had
previously been expected ; and lambs were in such
request that prime ones commanded considerably
advanced prices.—/Boston Gazette.)
Two very fine monuments, erected at the public
expense by CNA NTRIY, have just been finished, sort
are very odvaritageoasly placed in St. Paul's Cathe-
dral, but to the eternal shauie maul disgrace of the
officers of the Cathedral, or those Church digoita-
ries who preside over them, the people, who actu-
ally paid for these national monuments, cannot be
admitted to see them without a fee!
