VICTORIA THEATRE.

The report contained in our paper of Wedueslay rela-
tive to the late accident at the Victoria Theatre, we are
happy to find, has been greatly exaggerated, owing,
doubtless, to the confusion of the moment. Upen
further inquiry we learn that mt any accident
beyond a. few bruises and scratches (except in
the single instance of a boy's ancle being dislo.-
cated), resulted from what might, had it occurred a
few minutes later, been of more serious consequence.
The house, notwithstanding the vague reports which
got so speedily circulated, was as well attende.d as usual
on the ;:ight in question, as also next night, the real
truth having been ascertained, and false rumours dis-
persed.

,v.RK TRYST.
LAST FALK
stt.nhousemuir, upon
The third and last great mares "et for the year
sheep market
com-
menced upon the Tryst grounds,
Monday last. Monday being the great
for the second and third Trysts, there was, upon this
occasion, a very large and superior stock exi;osed for
sale. Several gentlemen, who have attended the im;.rket
for a long period, say that they have not witnessed sues
a stock here these seven years past. There were from
60,000 to 70,000 sheep upon the Tryst grounds.
Captain Ross, Arnisdale, Glenely, had 1,600, consist-
ing of various kinds, which he sold as under :-600
blackfaced wedders at 231. per score ; 936, 'a cross of
the Clergwak breed,: at 241. per score ; the few shots
brought nearly the above prices. Several very superior
lots of the blackfaced wedder brought 265. per head.
We may state that they sold from the above prices down
to 19s. 6d. Cross breed from 235. 6d. to 28s. ; Cheviot
wedders from 28s. to 31s. ; ditto ewes from 15s. to 18. ;
blackfaced ewes from 9s. to 13s.
Mr. Kennedy, of Dumfries, sold a very fine lot of
whitefaced Cheviot ewes at 18s. to Mr. Gillies there.
The shots brought 17s. 6d. The above prie,:s may be
said to be the average of the market.
TUESDAY.—About 1,500 sheep, chiefly of the bladc-
faced wedder and whitefaced Cheviot ewes, remained un-
sold from yesterday, but were mostly disposed of during

west and north Highlands. The first which left the
