PRIMROSE•HILL PARK.—Yestesday the Commis-
sioners of Woods and Forests issued instructions to fill up
the different hollows in Primrose-hill Park, in order that the
lower portion may be converted into a cricket-ground. A
spacious carriage drive has been formed from the Hampstead-
road through the grounds of Chalk-farm Tavern, leading
into the Regent's-park and Camden-town. A number of
gravel walks have been laid down, and seats placed for the
accommodation of visitors. It is also intended to plant this
park with trees and shrubs similar to the enclosure in St.
James's-park. The park-keepers appeared yesterday in their
new uniforms.

DEATH OF TOM SPRING, OF THE CASTLE, ROL.
BORN. Thomas Winter, who, upon his first appearance in
the pugilistic arena, adopted the name of Spring, as a nom
de guerre, a practice by no means uncommon with actors on
another stage, is no more. After acute suffering from disease
of the heart, dropsy supervening from the impossibility of
taking active exercise, the worthy, manly, upright, mild,
brave, and urbane ex-champion expired yesterday morning
at a little before six.

HORNCASTLE GREAT HORSE FAlR.—Yesterday
this fair, so celebrated for the extensive supply and sale of
young valuable horses, terminated, greatly to the satisfaction
of a large class of breeders and dealers in horses. From the
commencement the trade was exceedingly brisk, and the
biddings and sales throughout have been marked by great
animation, and extraordinary high prices have been made of
young valuable horses of hgh blood. There was a nume-
rous attendance of small dealers from various counties at th •
latter part of the fair, anticipating that from the great
number of horses brought forward an opportunity might
occur for purchasing on sp ciliation; but the range of prices
was such as to preclude the pcssibil:ty of their uoing so, the
greater part of nigh priced horses having goneinto the hands
of the opulent dealer and jobmaster. Young cart horses
maintained high prices throughout the
.fair, Lite best making
CO guineas, and the best cart colts 30gumeas each ; and great
credit is due to the Suffolk breeders for the splendid horses
of the cart breed they exhibited at this fair. Horses aged and
inferior were not so well sold, and abatements were made to
effect sales. Small ponies under duty were in great demand,
making from 101. to 151. each. The cattle fair commences
this day (Thursday).

TUE FRENCH REPU t 51,14.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.

The Siecle says—" We are informed that the
Union Electorale has just dissolved itself. Each of
the fractions of that coterie had the pretension to di-
rect it. The Bonapartists wanted to make it an in-
strument for propagating their dogma of prolongation
of powers ; the Legitirnatists desired to use it to the
profit of the Count DE CHAMBORD; the younger
branch reckoned among its membors devoted friends.
The amalgamation of these heterogeneous elements
could only be momentary. The candidature of
the Prince DE JOINVILLE was the signal of war in
the midst of the self-styled union. The parti-
sans of Orleauism exchanged bitter recriminations
with the members of the society of the Dix Decem-
bre, and we are informed that, at the end of a stormy
sitting, the dissolution of the Union Electorale was
pronounced."
M. FOULD, the Minister of Finance, has left Paris
for Tarbes.

The Journal de la Nievre says—" M. DIIPIN, the
President of the Legislative Assembly, is at present
at his estate of Raffigny, in this department. He left
Paris on the 12th inst., after having taken leave of the
PRESIDENT of the Republic, with whom he had an
hour's conversation."
