ALL HALLOW FAIR.

This great annual fair, which commenced on Tuesday
the 12th, was held on the Dean Farm, Queensferry.
road. The weather was very fine. From the gradual
advance which has taken place in the markets sfac°
July, high prices were expected, and particularly from
the rise at Falkirk and Doune markets. The number
of cattle brought forward was about 8,000, which is from
3,000 to 4,000 less than last year, and the show was a
very inferior one. We have never seen so small a num
ber of cattle at this fair. The show of short horns and
country cattle was confined principally to two-year-olds
and stirks. Prices were, for two-year-olds, from 101. 10s.
to 141. 14s. ; year-olds, 71. 10s. to 101. 10s. Fife, Angus,
and north country cattle were scarce ; three-year-olds,
9/. 9s. to 15/ Iss. ; two-year-olds, 71. 10s. to 101. 10s.
Of West Highlanders there was a great number
-three-year-olds, from 8/. to 101. 10s. ;
two-year-
olds, from 41. 4s. to 61. 6s. ; stirks, from 21. 10s. to
4/. 10s. One prime lot of 20 short-horned cattle rea-
lised 191. per head. The prices altogether realised an
advance of from 25 to 30 per cent. on the prices of
last year, and were fully 15 per cent. above the markets
at Falkirk and Doune ; the dealers, therefore, must have
had a glorious harvest on this occasion. There were a
few fat cattle brought forward, the better description of
which realised 9s. per stone ; inferior from 7s. 6d. to
Bs. 6d. per stone.
WEDNESDAY.-The stock which remained unsold
yesterd,ly were brought forward to-day, amounting to
somewhere about 1,200 ; they fully supported yester-
day's prices. From 200 to 300 cattle left the market
unsold, but we have no doubt they would find pur-
chasers in the course of the evening. Altogether, this
is generelly allowed to have been the best market of the
season for dealers ; and such a Hallow Fair as has not
occurred for many years.-Edinburgh Courant.

THE DUCHESS OF ST. ALBANS' MEMOIRS.
—A Hie of this very extraordinary woman, whose ca-
reer was so plethoric of good fortune, and whose sin-
gular destiny placed her in so many and so varied situa-
tions, in which persons of every rank in life were in-
volved, has at length been written. It would be next.
to impossible for us to give even an analysis of volumes
so full of interest ; every page teems with proofs of the
late Duchess's kindheartedness and good sense, whilst
the numerous anecdotes, thickly interspersed, at once at-
tract and instruct. These volumes are written w;,th that
taste and good feeling which must command general ap-
prJval, and will obtain the patronage not only of those
interested in theatrical matters, but of those who are
watchers of the great stage of the world,—Age.
A WONDERFUL AND CERTAIN CURE FOR
GOUT AND RHEUMATISM.—If those who suffer with
these dreadful complaints would persevere for a time
with " Holloway's Ointment" as an external applica-
tion, and his " External Disease Pill" to be taken at I
the same time, these remedies would effectual era-
dicate from the system the most inveterate Gout or'
Rheumatism that ever assailed it. Nothing is mar
certain than that they perform thousands of most for
traordinary cures in every class of External DiserAses.:
and no family should be without them. Every refTect
able chemist throughout the kingdom keeps them,, or
they may be had at 13, Broad-street Buildings, City'
the establishment of the Proprietor, where advice Is
given gratis.
THE ROMANCE OF PRIVATE LIFE. B• 1
Miss BURNEY.—This work is rather calculated to viin
the favour of the reader by graceful and elegant: de-
scription of real scenes and events, than to arrest atten-
tion by fearful and astonishing incidents that electrify
and make us pant for breath. The moral of such tales
is more potent and useful than that of the marvellou'A
fictions. Wild and romantic adventures where the hero
or heroine is now plunged into the abyss of misfortune,
and now elevated to the pinnacle of wealth and hap-
piness—like the vessel in a storm, aut neersa profundo,
aut sidera cambens—fall to the lot, of few. " The Ro-
mance of Private Life" offers sage and useful hints,
illustrated by graceful character. With the readers of
refined taste, delicate, but natural, sensibility, and po'
lished manners, these volumes will be especial and der'
able favourites.—Bath Herald.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.--On Thursday -morning
last, as a boy about eleven years of age, the son of Mr'
Waterworth, butcher, of Skelton, was standing upon 9
bank near a temporary line of the Nortki of England
Railway, between Overton and Popplet,on-bridge, the
earth gave way, and he fell with his hands upon the
rails. A waggon, loaded with bri2ks, drawn by a horse'
was passing at the time, and. tlae little finger $:6
severed from one of his hands, and two others Pertl
so. It was expected that the limb would have to be
amputated.—York Courant.
THE KEIGHLEY MURDER. The York Cou-
rant gives the confr,ssion of Charles Burton, who mur-
dered his sister at Keighley some weeks ago. The u 0-
=II
fortunate creature describes at length the manner
which he accomplished the murder, and the various at'''.
tempts he afterwards made on his own life, but we el:
not see any good that would arise from publishing ;
tails of deeds so revolting to humanity,
too by a fellow-creature labouring under suc:n awful"
fatal delusions.
