as have. 'ameliorated the coarseness and unthrifti:- ,
nest; of the large Irish 'siaeep, by a naoderate addi,,
don of the New Leicester blood, command the
highest prices at this Fair, but most of those who
have substituted thorough-bred New Leicester Ewes
in the place of their lristi ones, are supposed to have
materay injured their docks—in both cases the .

An outcry has been raised against our grazierS
fa supplying the marketa with young Mutton ; but
the fault, is in the 'consumers themseiVes, who:-will
not give a farthing, per. po;ind time for tour than ,
two-year old Sheep, and, at the present iftg.b rents,

"The Bullock Fair':was on Wednesday. There
were sold 5659--Unsold 30,49—.:r0tal 87:4,
A GenileAnan who pin-chases eight ,litindfed,an»
nuttily at this Fair, is decidedly of. opinion,that a ,
manifest improvement has'taken place in :onr .bo.i•
locks within thesefew-yeats. It is to be lamented ,
that there has been a. serious 'fall in the, hersfalock,
which wereat least I 5 -per cent, lower than ..last
tear, This is-imputed by the graziers to a collusion
etween the Navy Cuntratitors• and persons con-
cerned in the provision trade; to countered avhiclr,
-a company was lately'. formed, who acted perhaps
with much more zeal than discretion.
Their pro 4
jed has failed, and the,graZiers are, :tow more at the.
mercy of the coptraators than Wore. To a super-,
fjcial observer, it would Seem that the low prices
' arise: from the great supply,' pat ticadavly .as beef is'
an article which carries itself to. Market ; the pviee
would soon be equalised, if scarcity created demand...
There is .a constant fluctuation In the produce. of
laud f- when butchers' meat is. cheap, bUtter and
milk are proportionably
,higher, and vice vertu; if
all decline in price, lands must tall ; if-they increase,
lands must rise. Any attempt to contront these ef,
'leas of commerce will prove abortive, and. will
• generally be attended with consequences the re.'
verse of those intended. lipon the - Whole, the
provision trade is a subje& .of greatdifficulty ; if
the contracts were divided so as to be Within the'
reach of a greater number of competitors, it is sup-
posed Government would be supplied on better
terms, and the graziers would be better paid.

On Wednesday morning,' Lieutenant Shafiee, of
the Sussex Militia, son_ of Sir Cuthbert Shattoe,
threw himself out of the chamber window, at his
lodgings, in French Q-ardens, at Finn.; and, in eon,
