THE MAGNET ON BOARD IRON STEAM-SHIPS.--
A paragraph has been going the rounds to the effect
that the stranding of the Great Britain, in Dundruin
Bay, might have been occasioned by the effects of
the iron on the compass. This statement is
contradicted in a letter of the 27th instant, dated
Clifton, from Captain Claxton, of which the follow-
ing is the substance :—" I can only say that
they (the Great Britain's compasses) were not
found incorrect on previous voyages, as far as my me-
mory serves me, that they were carefully compensated
at Liverpool, that Captain Hosken was furnished
with a card of corrections, that on my arriving at
Dnndrum he informed me he had no fault to find
with them. It is due to Captain Hosken that
the statement should be contradicted, as it would
have been his duty to have obtained mil' assistance in ascertaining any error when the ship was lightened and uninjured, and everything ready
for again crossing to Liverpool, and which, as you are
aware, nothing prevented our doing on a Tuesday
morning early in October but the southerly gale of
the night before. The publication of such a state-
ment is a great deal too bad, as whatever the intent, the
effect is to shake confidence in iron ships."—Liverpool
Mercury.
Lincoln fair on Tuesday last presented a large show
of steer beasts, great numbers of which were West" country stock brought by train along the Midland line.
Those of good quality sold pretty readily, at prices fully
equal to the terms of neighbouring fairs ; but those low
in condition sold at lower prices than the run of late
fairs. Fat beasts were not numerous, and what were
offering were generally not of first-rate quality. The
show of sheep was small : beef 6 to 6s. 9d. per stone,
mutton 6d. per lb. Useful cows sold readily at good
prices. The horse fair presented none of the most in-
viting class of animals; the few useful nags were pretty
eagerly bought up; and, as usual, at the fair of this sea-
son, the owners of riff raff animals were bustling about
with all the importance of men who had a large stake
upon the cast of the fair, though their worldly posses-
sions amounted to three or four shabby horses, or a
string of lean and shaggy ponies.— Stanyford Mercury.
THE CHOLERA.—The number of new cases reported
in Edinburgh on Monday were 9, on Tuesday 13, yester-
day 4. The deaths on Monday 3, OR Tuesday 3, yes-
terday 3. The recoveries on Monday 3, yesterday 1.
Remaining in Edinburgh, 124. Leith shows almost a
blank return; one case occurred on Tuesday, but neither
deaths nor recoveries have had to be reported since
Thursday last. There are, however, 126 cases then,
under treatment. The following are the reports we have
received since our last from the country districts:—M
Loanhead, one new case on Sunday. In Libberton
parish, five new cases on Sunday, and four on Monday.
In Inveresk parish, two new cases, and two deaths oc-
curred on Sunday; four cases and one death on Mon-
day; two cases on Tuesday. At Cramond on Sunday,

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, Nov. 2a.—Tlik a offices
have been very bare of samples of any description
the past week, and the sales are limited to 150 during
hhds.,

CARNARVON DECEMBER FAIR.—The customary'
December fair was held in this town on Friday last.:
There was a very large show of horned cattle, of all
descriptions, but the trade ruled very dull except for'
milch cows which realised from Si to 10/ 10s. In the.
pig market there was a 'very large show of store animals,
which were disposed of from 12s to 2/ ss; but few pigs
fit for the butcher were brought to market. The meat
exhibition was very good, in tact we have heard it state&
that the show is as good as any that has taken place for
twenty years. Considerably over 100 head of cattle
were slaughtered; beef sold at from 3d to 4id per lb;:
salt. butter from qd to 90; bacon, 5d to 6d; country'
made the se from 3d to 3id per lb.
CARNARVON, Nov. 25.—Our market this day was but
scantily attended by dealers. Wheat and oats were but
little inquired after. Barley was very scarce, but good
samples fetched good prices for malting purposes. 00
the whole, however, prices are lower than quoted in our
last. Old wheat, 57s to 58s per quarter. New wheat,.
54s to 56s per do. Barley, 30s to 335. Best oats, 19s-
to 20s. Inferior do, 17s to 19s. The prices for meat,
poultry, &c., are almost stationary.
DENBIGH, Nov. 27.—Our market this day was well
att(nded; but in consequence of the decline in the Lon-
don and Liverpool markets, and the large foreign sup-
plies, buyers held for lower prices, which the farmers but
unwillingly met. The result was, the transactions of but
little business. Wheat, 17s 6d to 18s 6d; barley but
little demand, lis to 12s; oats, 6s to 7s per hobbet.
Provision market—Butter, salt, 83-d to 9id in tubs; ditto
pounds, 101-d to 11,W; bacon from 7id to Bid per pound;
eggs, seven for 6d.
Ituatuye, Nov. 27.—There was a tolerably good at-
tendance of farmers, millers, and dealers, and the busi-
ness transacted might be a fair averagt-, with little varia-
tion in prices, although tending downwards. The
alteration was not in accordance with the London
market. Wheat, 18s to 19s; barley, 10a 6d to Ils 6d;
oats, es to 7s per hobbet.
Illoep, Nov. 28.—There was a tolerably good muster
in the corn-market to-day, and a fair average amount
of business transacted, prices bearing downwards.
Wheat, from 17s 6cl to 18s; barley, average for good
samples, 11s; oats, 6s to 7s; potatoes scarce and dear.
MOLD FAIR.—At this fair, on Wednesday, a quantity
of every description of cattle were shown; there was bug
a small attendance of buyers, and little business done.
The stock of sheep exhibited was larger than usual, and
those disposed of were at, reduced prices.

oats 2s 2d to 2s 10d per imperial bushel. Beef 3kd to sd;
