ices this day for all Grain, except Wheat, which sui,-
ported last week's prices, as did Oats. Beans rathLr
dud, and some trifle lower. Mustard Seed from Z ss.

`to 21s. per bushel.
At Norwich Market, on Saturday last, there was
a good supply of Grain, and more particularly of

At HemptOn-Green Fair, in Norfdlk, which
commenced on Thursday, there was a smaller show
of Beasts than has been exhibited for many years.
The drovers complain of the increased price which
they are obliged to give to breeders in the North,
and consequently they are competent to ask higher
Sums of the graziers. The sale on the first day was
1 Very rapid, the buyers being anxious to make pur-
chases, even at the dear rate at which they obtained
their bargains. On Friday more than 2000 head of
Cattle were disposed of. The prices have been not
iess than from tis. to 75. per stone.
St. Columb Fair, on Thursday last, produced a
very large show of Sheep, and those which were
.sold fetched good prices, as did the Cattle.
Andover Sheep Fair was held on Friday last. The
Pens presented the appearance of an ample supply, a
very large number being brought for sale. The pur-
chasers were, however, so numerous and spirited,
that the whole were sold at an early hour, full 15s.
per head dearer than last year, and many who wish-
ed to purchase were disappointed.
Wakefield Corn Market, on Friday last, was very
Well supplied with Wheat. Fine samples sold more
freely off at the prices of last week, but middling

well.

WooncocKs, &c.—There can be no doubt but
thata very great portion of the woodcocks, snipes,
.plovers, starlings, and such other bird as migrate to
the Southward, in the winter season, are lost in the
vast Atlantic Ocean. They generally rravel before
the storm, and frequently kuyidst the obscurity of
dawn, and snow showers. At these times, wood-
cocks abound on the Scilly
.Islands, and near the
Litard 'and Land's End; the extreme Southern and
Western Capes of Cornwall ; where; such as ap-
proach before they are quite spent, like Noah's
dove, 'find rest from the oceans of water and air;
and such as cannot reach the shore, frequently drop,
exhausted with 'fatigue, upon such ships as they
happen to discover. There are few vessels from the
Atlantic, which, upon approaching the coast at this
season, are not visited by these lorlorn voyagers ;
while great numbers of others are seen—(yet, how
small a portion of the whole can ever be seen !)
passing in foul weather ' to the Southward and
Westward, where an ocean, too vast for the
strongest wing to pass over, must inevitably rwc•al-
low them up.
. S/NOULAR WILL.--WILLIAM JONES, a native of
Gower, in Glamorganshire, quitted that part of the
country about 50 years ago. to avoid the grasp of
the parish officers, for multiplying the King's sub- •
jets, contrary to the statute of " Good Queen Bess."
He went to London, and afterwards embarked in
the wine and spirit trade, which he carried on with
so much success, as to accumulate a fortune of up-
wards of half a million. He died a few months
Lisince, leaving his four, executors ‘.:0001. each ; he
—bequeathed all. his freehold property to several
parishes in the vicinity of the metropolis ; gave le-
gacies of 50001. and 10,0001. to a number of !fiends ;
and generously direaed that such of his relations
as might.' apply .to his executors, within twelve
months after his decease, should be paid one shilling

each.
Wednesday, A. CAMPBELL, of Blyth3wood, Esq.
was eleaed Lord Rector of the University of Gil4s-

gow. There was a very hard contest on this occa-
sion. Two voted for Mr. CAMPEELL, and two for

Redor decided the elti6tion in favour of Mr. e1#3,111-
