WEYIIILL FAIR, FRIDAY,. OCT* 15.—The
fair is now nearly over ; the weather has been beautiful
throughout, which has induced a concourse of people to be
daily on the hill. On Tuesday and Wednesday the throng
was excessive, and the respectability of the company never
surpassed. The hop-fair opened on Wednesday, but com-
paratively few sales were effected. On Thursday businese
was brisk for two or three hours, which span subsided, as
the prices were too high to induce persons to purchase be.
yend their actual 'want ; and notlithstanding there was et
first 181. and ROL given for prithe Farnham samples, and
as high as 161. in some Instances given for country tmpa,
yet we mayleirly state the average of Farnham' from 10/.
to 161., and that of the country hope front 81- to 126-12 s.
Discoloured and mouldy hops in both rows were of course
very low. The number of pockets grounded this year in
the Farnliam-row was 1,591 ; of those in she country.
row 2,751, making a total of 4,342 pockets, a quarter of
which remained unsold on Friday morning, and must
stand aver till Andover fair, which- takes place about six
weeks hence. The horse-fair, which has been very good
this year, and has exhibited a finer show of colts than
many preceeding yeari, is now almost cleared out, at least
all the first-rate nags and cart-horses are disposed of, end
we understand at remunerating prices generally, but in
this department, as well as in every other, the scarcity of
cash MO manifest. About 100,000 sheep were exhibited
on Saturday last, and ewes sold 2.. and other sorts Is.
per head cheaper than at the late fairs. The cheese pitched
this year does not exceed 300 tons • it appeared to be in
goOd condition, and general sales took place at the fallow"
ing prices :—Best old Somerset, 565. to 63e. ; new ditto,
425. to 60s. ; best Wiltehire, 40s. to 48s. ; second, 38a.
to 401. ; skim, 20s. to 26.. We noticed several fine lute
of chef e remaining unsold when our account was tent off.
The judicious arrangementa of the maeirtrates (in peake
of whose conduct too numb cannot be said) has completely
broken and dispersed the knot of pickpockets sad vaga-

meat, though well known to possess sufficient talent to
execute the duties of every depsrtment. The fact is, that
so fatal is the climate to Europeans, that some most
necessary offices are always vacant, the ditties of which are
discharged by individuals holding other appointments;
thus a beardless boy fills the situation of Colonial Secre-
tary, Chief Justice, Judge of the Admiralty Court, Colonel

boy baronies King's Advocate and Regi►ter of the Vice-

dealer, profits by his inexperieute. These slave dealers
are well known, and are not discouraged. The following
circumstances will prove that even our own men-of-war
unintentionally facilitate the slave trade:—llia Majesty's
ship Sybille, in Dee. 1827, brought the slave dealer, Fee- ,
miles, as a passenger from Whydah to Sierra Leone,
where he purchased a vessel, called the. Cmsair, which
was immediately after employed in the slave trade. And
at another time, his Majesty's brig Plumper went from
Sierra Leone to Whydah, and shortly returned to Sierra
Leone, having on board as passenger this seine well-known
slave-dealer Fernandez, who came to Sierra Leone to claim
the re-possession of another vessel that had been captured

IRELAND.

(From a Prirate Correspondent of the Times.)

DUBLIN, OCT. 15.

The Irish farmers are beginning to turn their ist.!
tendon principally to live stock, and the landowner
is more than eier convinced 'that he will be more
secure of his rents by letting his estate in large
parcels. Hence the extensive dislodgement of the
cooler tenantry. There is not a county in Ireland
in which the plan is not in operation to a greater or
lesidegree. In Leinster 'it is proceeding rapidly.
Seme of the landlords, who can afferd' as the
Duke of Leinster in Kildare, and Mr. Mapper iq
Meath; offer to some of the ejected ,tenantry, via.;
ileums to Canada, but the practice is rare, either
from inability, or indifference to the misery inflicted
on wretches who, until the operation of the Sub.
letting Act began, one would think could not well
be more miserable. Hence the apprehensions which
are entertained of rustic disturbances in the approach
ing winter,---epprehensions which I am afraid will
be but too generally realized. Surely those gentle-
men who have allowed a pauper population to in-
crease and nieltiply on their lands, should, in adopt 7
ing a new system, .make, or be compelled to make,
some provision for the creatures they dispossess nod
turn out upon the road-side without shelter or feed.
To preach to them, however, is totally useless.
They will cry out lustily enough when their cons-ricke
are burned, or their cattle maimed, and they will call
on the Government for soldiers and policemen. Aid
will be granted them no doubt in their emergency;
but it will become incumbent on the Legislature to
adopt, and speedily, precautionary measiires. Provi-
poor at home or to export.them to the British settle-
in short, must be made either to support the
9mi:sit:lts in North America: The people, getierally
speaking, are willing to go. Ulster was hitherto
the great emigrating province. It continues so,
perhaps, still. But Derry and Belfast have no
longer the monopoly of this trade. A few years
ago, say twelVe, tt was only Protestants of one de-
notnination or another that used to emigrate ; and
indeed so constant and so regular was the tide,' that
the Protestant population diminished positively,
there being, I understand from persoas who havo
made this branch of statistics their study, fewer
Protestants in the north of Ireland than there were
thirty years ago. But the impulse is no. longer con-
tined to the Protestant population, or to the pro-
vince of Ulster. Catholics, who can efford it, are
going out in considerable numbers, particularly frofq

Leinster: It is c!ear, however, that no impression
can be trade on NIA a population as ours by the ex-
patriation of 30,000 or 40,000 persons annually.
To telieve us, it may be ticessary that Government
should interpose,==not by means of a grant, but by.
making it compulsory on the land-owners to provide
for the families they are not,/ trfulhlg adrift. Thls,
doubtless, would be itt effect, the establishment of it
poor-rate. lint; after nil, it is only by NO
that the petters or this country can be preserved.

The disetissions on the repeal of the tiffiei pro-
eeed with 'great Vigour. There have, as yetots you
perceive, been no fOrnial meetings: But there have
been speeches of rvvery animated Itind tieliverett,by•
Mr. O'Connell and some other gentlemen, et a din•
ncr at Killartrey; and at a place much mot impor•
tart, the city of Cork. Theen'wilthe **inlet' dia-
play in Waterford in n day or tiros and the town- of
Drogheda meets for the purpose welt week; AIR*
the 20th Mr. °TOMOI will reach iublin, and We
certainly shall have a most imposing exitilinion. It
has been reported' that the Lord Mayor, twit in
London for the purpose of presenting the city ad-
dress to the King, has signified his readiness to take
the chair at'the proposed meeting. I have reason
hoWever, to believe that this rumour is groundless.
As to the notion of a clause of surrender in the lease
the Bank of Ireland holds of the old Parliament-
house, which I see mentioned in. one of the London
papers, it is altogether absurd there is no such clause.
The difficulty in repealing the Union is not to find
a house for the Irish Parliament to meet in. Nor
is the difficulty, it must be confessed, in any general
indisposition of the people against the repeal. The
Orangemen are beginning to talk of it ; and the
report to-day is, that Lord O'Neill had signified
his readiness to take the chair at the proposed
meeting. This, however, I do not believe. His
Lordship is now in London, and, judging ft om the
tone and style of the Orange Journals, though the
factious are furious against the Government, and at
least as abusive of the members of Administration
us the Ultras on the other side, their animosity
sgainst the Papists knows no bounds. Ile would
be a bold man, however, who would assert that no
union would take place between the parties. They
may hate each other cordially, but circumstances
might make them combine. Twenty years ago, in
the middle of the last war, the Corporation of
IMAM, then more completely under the thumb of
the Castli than it has been since, joined the citizens
of Dublin in an abortive effort of the kind. The
present Lord Mayor of Oublinot that period Sheriff
elect, joined most heartily in the scheme, and the
chair of the public meeting was taken by one of the
High Sheriffs, Sir James Itiddel. With all the
efforts of the citizens of Dublin, and with the
almost undivided exertions of the Press in favour
of the repeal, it made no way in the country, and
the,effort died off in about half a year. At present,
however, the interior has been more generally roused.
The subject is on every one's lips, and the man who
lifts his voice against it is sure to he talked down.
On the whole, lam satisfied, if something of a very
important nature be not done or attempted in the
Session.now at hand, the state of
the Government.

THE UTTEREES OF FORGED NOTES

IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND.

Yesterday Mr. Gates, the solicitor to the Associ-
ation of Town and Country Bankers for protection
from forgery and fraud, arrived in town from the
northern counties, where he has been occupied for
some days in obtaining information respecting the
gang of utterers who have been uttering forged
notes on Messrs. Atkwright's bank to the public.
His object in coming to town by express was in
order to consult Government on the subject of the
extensive forgeries which are now circulating through
the country. He has succeeded in getting ten of
the well-known persons employed in passing the
notes apprehended. Oue of the most able and in-
genious of the utterers is u publican, named Greer,
banks, who keeps a snug house of entertaimnetit for
man and horse near Sheffield. Mr. Gates learned
that this man bad gone to several of the market-
towns with a great many of the forged notes, and
officers were placed in the neighbourhood of his
house to watch for and apprehend him on his return.
He had just left the top of a stage-coach, and was
walking towards his house by a back way, when the
police pounced upon him. He bud passed his share
of the forged notes on his travels, and had his
pockets loaded with sovereigns, the produce of his
labours. Greenbank's house, it has been ascertained,
is what is culled " a regular stop," from the facilities
which it has often afforded to thieves in escaping
pursuit. The moment one of the " coma" rode
into the yard, his horse was taken to a place.of con-
ccalment and locked up, and when inquiry was made
the landlord said, with some truth, that the person
sought for did not pass that house. Greenbanks
having been seized about a quarter of a mile from
his house, the intelligence reached two others of the
gang who were there waiting for him, and who con,
trived to escape. Evidence was brought forward to
prove that Greenbanks bad passed some of the tipti
rious notes, and he was fully committed for trial.
The officers next took into custody a very des•
Aerate fellow, named Cutts, who hes been some
'time known as s " coper." He was in a house in
the neighbourhood of Chesterfield, and the moment
he heard the officers at the door, he ran to the win•
slow, threw it up, and .was about to spring into. the
river, when Bishop, the officer, caught him by the
her, and clapped a pair of handcuffs upon him. A
Ceat deal of gold was found upon the person or
utts, so that if he had succeeded in springing into

traced to hers . A woman, named Singleton, the wife
of Nathan Singleton, was apprehended for passing
one of the forged notes. She appeared to be quite
ignorant of the spuriousness of the note' and frankly
admitted that she had received it from her hustrand.
fit most instances the article purchased for the pure
pose of getting rid of a bad note seldom cost so
much as a shilling—that sum was the maximum: of
the purchases all through. In a great number of
instancexa note was changed for a punt or a glass of
ale. As the agent of the Associated Bankers
versed the country, ho often asked the landlord, of
an inn whether he had any of Arkwright'a notes, end
upon being answered in the afliruintive, he looked at
the instrument, and pronounced it fictitious.
The first issue of forged notes, it is stated by a
nose (an informer), amni.mnted to SOO, and those
were quickly got rid of, to the loss, to those who
hold them, of 2,500/. The smashers call the first
issue, the prime sale and doliyory."

The eddrese to the King was then discussed. 11±
it the weevers, after condoling with his Majetke
upon the death of the late King his brother, and
congratulating his Majesty upon his accessi.9o tfa tin
throne, proceeded to state the depressed state 4tl.
their trade, occasioned, in their opinion, by lite
trade and the superseding of manual labour by
machinery.
Mr. WALLIS said the Committee lefttthi:caddroa4
at the office of the Secretary of State for the
Home Department, on the 6th of September, and
on the 18th received a note informing them that Sir
Robert Peel had not failed to transmit it to his Ma-
jesty. Not hearing any thing further of their ad-
dress, they wrote to Sir Robert Peel on the lith of
October as follows
" SlR,—The Qmomittee of Broad Silk Weavers of

ing his Majesty in the name of their trade, and having

In reply to this the following was received:
" W 1140141. Oct. 13.

" am directed by Secretary Sir Robert Peel to
inform you, in reply to your letter of the 11 th instant, that
he is not able to give any information respecting the ad-

contained in his former letter.
" I am, Sir, &c., S. N. Pnit,ries.
" Mr. John Poyton, 6, Untlerwood.street, •
Mile-end New Town."

Mr. WALLIS said that nothing further had been
heard by the Committee of the address, nod Its
could not help:thinking that it must have miscai•rle'l.
when he contrasted the present with another ores-.
sion when an address was presented to the Duke of
Clarence, and his Majesty's known condescension in
invariably acknowledging and answering the ad-
dresses of his loyal subjects.
There was a general feeling of dissatisfaction at
the non-acknowledgment of the addres►►, and after
several speeches on the subject a resolution was

passed—
" That the address of his Majesty be persevered in ; anti
the Committee continue to retry the presenting into effect
in order to obtain an answer."

The meeting then proceeded to discuss the pril-
priety of adopting some more general application for
an advance of prices, and separated after having
adopted some resOlutiuns on the subject.
