LEICESTER WOOL FAIR.—The annual wool
fair, established four years since at Leicester, was held there on the
4th instant, and from the quantity of business done appears to be of
growing importance, as well to the dealers and consumers of the ma-
nufacturing districts as to the growers themselves. The number of
fleeces " pitched" on this occasion, according to the Leicester Paper,
was upwards r,f 8,000, the whole of which went off freely at fair prices.
The largest lots were purchased by the Yorkshire people, a:though con-
siderable quantities wee also disposed of to buye:s of the county. The
position of Leicester, a midland county town in the heart itself of a
manufacture of importance, and well situated for easy communications
with all parts of Yorkshire and Lancashire, seems peculiarly well adapted
for the seat and extension of the trade in wool. The fair w.ts attended by
several of the leading gentry of the neighbourhood, and at the dinner
afterwards all the parties present expressed their satisfaction with the
mode in which business had been transacted, and their anticipations of
its continued increase in future.

The Gazette d'Atevergße, a Carlist paper, says :___
" A few days since a handsome 'travelling carriage passed through the
town of Moulins, the travellers inside showing their passports to the
gendarmes, who are posted to intercept Prince Louis Iluonaparte in
this as wel as other towns of France. Nevertheless the Prince was
ther,, not, it !3 true, in the carriage, but on the outside, disguised as a
servant." This is only one of many similar reports circulated by the
provincial journals. We believe that Prince Louis Napoleon is at St.

Gal, in Switzerland, at the head of the Thurgau Rifle Society in Swit-
z.,rland.—Galignani.

The day before yesterday an English gentleman was
summoned before tie Tribunal of Correctiona! Police, charged with an
assault Upon his cook-maid, an English woman. In spite of an able
defence, delivered in goad French, in which the gentleman stated that
the original cause of
quarrel had been a refusal on the part of the woman

to perform her service on an occasion of emergency, and had also re-
fused to quit the house when desired, which led to a werm dispute, but
to no assault, he was s,ntenced to pay P. fine of 16f. and 25f damages to
the c!aimant. Atter the decision of the tribunal, a warm altercation
took place outside the Court between the defendant and a female witness,
wtose testimony had mainly contributed to his condemnation.—Galie-
nani's Messenger.
