HOTVDEN GREAT HORSE FAIR.

On Thursday this fair, which is one of great cele-
brity, commenced, and was resumed yesterday, and
will continue open to-day. The show of horses was
extensive and of the finest description. London and
the provinces were, as usual, well represented by
the chief horsedealers and jobmasters, and most of
the eminent coltbreeders of the county (Yorkshire)
were present. Horses of high class and quality
very readily commanded buyers at full prices, but
horses of inferior description suffered a decline in
value. Many strings of cattle were purchased pri-
vately from the stable previous to the day of open-
ing. Young well-grown horses in fall form, adapted
for broughams and other priyate carriages, sold at
from 50 to 60 guineas, and matched pairs of bays
and grays were in high competition. Most of this
young stock were unbroken to reins and double har-
ness. Strong cattle for van purposes and public
vehicles made 35 to 40 guineas, and active horses for
town work 40 to 50 guineas; short-jointed active
cart hereon ranged in value from 25 to 40 guineas;
hunters, young horses of good blood, sold at from
75 to 100 guineas; and ditto, 'of high pedigree and
celebrity, 150 to 200 guineas and upwards; cover
hacks and neat going roadsters, 20 to 35 guineas
horses of good fashion and high steppers, for park
riding and driving, 70 to 110 guineas ; thick-set,
well-bred horses, suitable for military purposes, sold
quickly to agents and contractors at from 30 to 35
guineas ; handsome cob poneys sold at from 15 to
25 guineas ; and weight-carrying cobs ranged in
figures from 25 io 35 guineas ; brood mares sold at
25 to 50 guineas, and colt breeders speculated freely ;
yearlings and foals made 18 to 25 guineas; aged
horses and cattle suited for hackney work and street
purposes, had no demand, and cart horses for agri-
cultural work realised low figures. Irish horses
were readily selected for hunters, and those up to
heavy weight obtained very high prices, and many
were b3ught for exportation to the Continent. The
cream of the horse fair is sold, although many
valuable strings of young cattle remain for sale.

GAVAZZI IN TRALEE.—A riot took place in this
town on Thursday night on the occasion of a lecture being
delivered by Gavazzi on " Garibaldi and the present politi-
cal state of Italy." The lecturer made some remarks on
the Pope's Irish Brigade, which roused the passions of some
of the Roman Catholics who were present in the lecture
room. The police, assisted by civilians, proceeded to eject
the disturbers, during which time the greatest emotion
ensued. Eggs were smashed on the walls of the lecture
room. The police having succeeded in ejecting the
principal rioters, Gavazzi proceeded with his dis-
course. At the close of the lecture an immense mob
attacked the hotel in which the lecture was delivered,
breaking almost every pane of glass in the windows, and
otherwise damaging the premises. The audience were
afraid to venture out, as stones were flying in all directions.
The police from some of the country districts were imme-
diately summoned, as also the militia staff; but the com-
bined force was totally unable to disperse the mob, and
merely sufficed to keep them from entering the hotel. The
parish priest addressed the rioters, imploring them to dis-
perse, but without effect. The riot act was read, still the
crowd was increasing. Numerous parties from the mob
sallied out in all directions and demolished the windows of
several houses belonging to Protestants. At a late hour
this morning the besieged audience in the hotel were enabled
to leave. Several persons were struck with stones, but no
material injury inflicted. Disturbances have taken place
to-Jay, and it is feared the night will not pass over without
a renewal of last night's disorders.—Dublin Freeman.
GRAND LOTTERY, TO BE DRAWN IN PARIS IN
THE MONTH OP SEPTEMBER, 1863, WITH THE SANC-
TION OP TILE FRENCH GOVERNMENT.--All American lady
who has resided during the last eight years at Paris, hav-
ing been for some time past a daily witness of the distress-
ing situation in which numbers of her country people are
placed ; whose fortunes have been almost, if not altogether,
ruined by the war at present raging in America--has con-
ceived the project of a lottery, the profits of which will be
applied towards their relief. This lady, having a friend
occupying a very influential position, has obtained from the
French Government permission to have the proposed
lottery drawn in Paris, in presence of the agent of the
Government. Lotteries are only authorised in France for
benevolent purposes in that country. A foreign lottery
therefore cannot receive any protection from the
French Government, until after the tickets are
disposed of in America, and in other foreign countries.
The two drawings of the lottery will, however, be per-
mitted to take place iu Paris, in some locality selected by
the prefet de police, and in the presence of agents of the Go-
vernment. The profits arising from the lottery will he
employed as follows:—lst. To aid Americans who have
sustained losses in commercial affairs ; 2d. To assist such
parties to pay their lodgings; 3(1. To supply them with
the requisite funds to enable them to return to their own
country. The French Government will have to be made
acquainted with the employment of the mosey ob-
tained from the lottery. There are 742 prizes, which re-
present a capital of 100,000 dollars (500,000 fr. or £20,000).
The winning numbers will be sent with the amount of the
prizes to one of the principal bankers in the towns where
the tickets have been disposed of. As there will be two
drawings of the lottery, it is desirable that all persons hold-
ing tickets should retain them till after the second drawing,
in order to have another chance of success. Included in
the scheme are two I :zes of 100,000frs. each (X 4,000). The
price of each ticket is francs (or 45.) All information re-
specting the lottery la be obtained of Messrs. Marziou,
et Cie. San Francesc -alifornia ; at the office of the
,Place de la Bourse, '_'aril ; or
" Union Maritime," N
