BRISTOL FAIR.

At our fair, which commenced'on Monday, the
skew of cattle was not large, and there were but few
prime ones, which sold well, but lean ones were dull
of sale. Horses were numerous, and good ones
fetched high prices. The supply of leather of all
kinds was unusually great; a great many inferior
hides'remain unsold, but prime goods have goile off
tolerably brisk, at redUced prices.

- CORN-EXCHANGE,SEPT..IO.---There are but short
supplies of Wheat here. to-day,. prime samples
tain their price, but otherlualities have few buyers;
new Rye fully at the currency; there is hardly: any
gdod ,Barley, Which is dearer, and Malt likewise;
Beans .of both sorts are at better prices ; there
are tolerable supplies Of 'Oat4; the foreign' car-
goes are mostly. out of condition, second..and ordi•
nary samples are cheaper ; . Flour without alteration;
fine American 425. to 455. per barrel. •

The Board of Agriculture has this year offered
various premiums for the promotion of that useful
science; among which are the three following
• 1., « To the person who shall produce to the
Board the model of the best and cheapest cottage,.
on- the scale of-one inch to a foot ; with estimates
of the .expence of ereaing it—from five to ten
guineas, according to. merit.
2.. `5 It :having been represented to the Board,
that there are roads in
.some parts of the King-
dom where much carrriers' work is regularly done
with one-horse carts ; and as, in such cases, it
is conceived that it might be easy for such car-
riers to substitute oxen, or spayed heifers, in some
of their carts for compariSon, the Board will give
to the carrier, or other person, who
.shall make
the experiment, in the most satisfaelory manner,
during one year, and report the result to the Board
—fifty guineas. -It is required,. that the oxen be
fed in the same manner as the horses, and not to
be under five years old.. • ,

. ...
3. " To the person who shall discover a prin -
'ciple
,which may lighten the draught of oxen to
carriagev--twenty guineas ; being the amount of a
legaCy left by the late Colonel 6•OATE, of Brent
Elleigh, in Suffolk, for this specifiC purpose."

A very extraordinary circumstance has recently
happened at:Paril.—The Theatre Francois, which is
the highest in repute in that Capital, had 'fallen so
much that the Condu&ors were obliged, a few days
ago:. to announce a Relache, or no Play. ,This is a
lamentable thing indeed for the, Parisians, for if
they cannot have anzuseMent to atone for the loss of
freedom, they will sink into themdSt pitiable state of
.ennui; or, what is. worse, may rise, again into the
most ferocious and dreadffil atrocities.

. .
Music.-!—The grand annual festival of Music, at
' Chester, is to commence on , the last day of this
month in the. Cathedral. The first. performance is
.to be The Messiah, with MOZART'S Accompani-
trents,.' How the shade of BANDEL will bear these
interpolations of one of his best works, if they should
reach his ghostly ears, it is not difficult to conceive,
as
.he would most probably have routed the ,whole
orchestra if such an attempt had been made while
he was alive. On the following morning will
be performed HAYDN'S :Oratorio of The Crea-
tion, after which is to be given the Coronation
Anthem, " Zadoch the Priest." On the ThUrsday
morning a grand sele6tion Of sacred music is to take
place; and a similar sele6tion on the. morning after.
The festival is to conclude with a Miscellaneous Con-
"bert on. Friday evening in the Theatre. Mrs. 1311.-.
LINGTON, Miss NiCtiOLSON,, Mrs. DICKONS, late
MISS POOLE, ,HARRISON, •GOSS, and BARTi.6IAN.
are engaged, to abliply the vocal department. The
last perfortner, however, We fear; will be too much •
indispOsed to attend. Mril(.4Slir,L is, to lead, and,
the Orchestra' in general,_ in musical talents,' do ho-
hour to the occasion.

An Irish Judge whose severity xbas at One time
proverbial, was at a public dinner with CURRAN 3 the
celebrated Irish Lawyer. The Judge observing
Ctfttans: carving a piece of corned beef, told him,
" if it was hung beef he would" try it."—" If yOu
ity' it, my Lod (replied CuitrtAtl), I am sure 'it Will
be hying." ,
