FALKIRK OCTOBER TRYST.

FALb:IRL OCT. 9.—This being the last Tryst for the
year, is considered to be the largest for all kinds of stock.
Early this morning sales commenced with the sheep, of
which there were 35,000, all in the very finest condition.
The sales very brisk, indeed so much so, that by three
o'clock, P.M., every lot had found a purchaser. The prices
of last market were fully traintained, and those of last year's
market, were lower than this.one by 2s. 6d. to 3s..per head.
The prices for Cheviot or white-faced wethers ran from
235. to 295• ; ewes from 18s. to 20s. and one particularly
of 1,100 of these wethers were sold by Mr. Pateison, of
Ross-shire, at 30s. 6d. ; and a lot of 1,000 ewes were sold by
the same dealer at 21s. 6d. These lots were considered to
be the best of their kind in the market.

Black-faced wethers brought from 15s. to Os. ; ewes
from 9s. to 14s. Two lots of these, about 1000 in each,
were reared upon Lawers, the estate of the late Lord .13a1-
gray. The wethers which composed the first lot brought
5s . , and the ewes 18s.

There was a large show of Highland ponies, which com-
manded ready sales and good prices, which ran from 3/. to
10/. Of late years the breed of these has been much im-'
proved. Six geldingr., three years old, which were matched
for phaetons, were purchased for a London gentleman at 65
guineas.
TUESDAY, 10.—To-day a very numerous assemblage of
dealers took place upon the market ground. It was evi-
dent that this market would turn out a brisk one, from the

limited quantity of stock which appeared at the September
market, and also from the abundant crop of winter keep :
nearly 2.0 ,0 0 0 head of black cattle appeared. The greater
part consisted of four year old Angus-shire and large High-
land, and the remainder of small Highland stots. There
Was a brisk sale of the former kinds, and at prices rather
higher, than those of the last -market. Angusshire stots
brought from 101. to 1:3/. ; a lot of 500 was purchased. by
a Yorkshire dealer at 131. ss. ; and' another small lot at

141. 10s., these were very large prime cattle ; several lots
of horned Angusshiro stets, three-years-old, were sold. at
,from 8/. ss.'to 9i., Two letg of Fifeshire brnuglit. I It, and
W. 10s. ; the small Highlanders, three years old,-broukhf
41. 10s., and-51. ; and Four years-old .5/. 10s.- nod 67. The
generally were made for the large kind of stnek, which
found a ready market, at prices- from 15 -to 20 shillings
above those of last year.
A large 'quantity of fat cattle of superior quality were
readily bought ' up by the dealors, and Glasgow and west
countr*tleshers, at 7s. 6d and Bs. per Dutch stone. Of
horses there was a 'very large show ; :in consequence of
high prices being demanded the sale was 'dull ; a good deal
of business was done in Highland ponies, at prices formerly
quoted. About one-third of the stock remains undispoaed
of, and will constisute the sales of to-morrow, when there is
no doubt but all will find ready purchasers.

SITNDHRL AND OCTOBER FAlR.—Tills fair was
held on Wednesday and Thursday last. The show of
goods was unusually great, which caused a proportionate
division of the business transacted. The number of pro-
menaders was very considerable, but the sales were com-
plained of as being dull. The amusements were fear and
rational, with one or two exceptions, such as the disgusting
exhibition of the murder of Mrs. Brown, by Greenacre, and
a debasing and demoralising display of sparring. Billy
Purvis, and Millar, attracted great attention : the latter
has been performing the famed ''(run-trick with great suc-
cess, which was lately introduced here by Mr. Anderson,
who performed in our theatre.--Sunderland Herald.
DURHAM AND SUNDERLAND RAILWAY.—We
are happy to congratulate the directors and the public on
an increase of the facilities for the conveyance of passen-
gers between this town and the city of Durham ; the com-
munication being now open for the passenger trains as far
as Sherburn Lane. The trains start from each end of the
line throe times a-day, namely, at 8 o'clock in the morning,
at 12, and at 4 in the afternoon ; and an omnibus meets.
the trains to take the passengers to and from Durham.
The lowness of the railway fires being only one penny per
mile, we have no doubt will induce many of our towns
people to enjoy, more frequently a visit to the beautiful
:milks of the Wear in the vicinity of Durham ; and the
:itizens will have the opportunity of reciprocating, by this
cheap conveyance to the sea-coast. We understand that
.apid progress is making to extend the railway, and that it
will shortly be open to Shincliff-bridge, which is one mile
from Durham, and two miles from the Clarence railways,
by which a cheap and rapid communication will be opened
bet Ween this town and Stockton. A communication with
Hartlepool by Haswell has been opened for several weeks
past—the carriages leaving Sunderland twice a-day, viz.,
:night in the mornin7, and three in the afternoon. For the
accommodation of passengers having to attend the Quarter
Sessions a train will start from Sunderland at six o'clock .on
Monday, the 15th inst.—Sunderland Herald.
On Tuesday morning, Samuel Wylde, Esq., of
Runcorn, arrived at the George Inn, Warrington, in his
carriage, about eleven o'clock, when, after giving directions
to his groom, be went into the house, sat down, and in-
stantiy expired.—Chester Courant.
