STRANGE SCENE AT A WILD BEAST Snow.—
Whilst Mr. Batty was exhibiting his collection of wild beasts
on the Market-hill, Barnsley, on Saturday night week, a
load noise, accompanied with shrieks, was heard within the
show, and was instantly followed by a rush, and an indis-
scribable scene of confusion arose amongst the inhabitants of
the neighbourhood, as well as the spectators, on the cry being
made, ‘, Th' lion's out ! th' lion's out !" The cry was not
founded on fact; but a leopard had got hold of the arm of a
person called Charles Fleetwood, and dragged him to the
side of the cage; fortunately, the sleeve of his smock frock
gave way. and he escaped with a slight bruise on one of his
arms. It was a miracle that nothing more serious occurred,
for at the time the leopard seized Fleetwood the fright was
such that the people inside rolled amongst a large fire-pan,
which was standing upon the ground, and contained several
gallons of blazing naphtha, and under the belly of the ele-
phant, without doing the least harm.
The Association for the Protection of Labour and
Capital meet on Thursday next, at the South Sea House, to
issue an address to the agriculturists, &c., with regard to the
course to be adopted before and during the next session.
CASTLE ASHBY.—This week the game-house of
the Marquis of Northampton was found to have been en-
tered by thieves the previous evening. A fine deer (a doe)
with a number of hares and pheasant!? had been carried off.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS
LIVERPOOL, DEC. 10.—The arrivals being, large, and
attendance small, coupled with the flat accounts from
Mark-lane, tended to make trade dull. A very moderate
business was done in wheat and flour, and the prices of
both articles were rather lower. Oats and oatmeal
maintained their value. Beans, peas, barley, and malt,
each rather duller. Indian corn as dear. Arrivals--
British wheat, 470; barley, 807; oats, 429; malt, 1,285;.
flour, 1,066 sacks and 3 bar:els; beaus, 189; peas,
Foreign—Wheat, 20,599; barley, 740; flour, 15,745
sacks, 42.250 barrels; beans, 62. shout
LEEDS, DEC. 10.—The wheat trade continued wi
activity, yet a large consumption, no doubt, was going
16
on. The supplies, however, have been beyond the de-
mand. Our arrivals this week were good. The sale, in
extent, was much as usual, and prices did not vary from
Friday's. Barley was dull, but, at the reduced prices,
there was more inquiry for the finer sorts. Any at her
description was scarcely saleable, except for grinding
purposes. Oats and shellings were steady. Beans were
very dull without any quotable charge.
NEWCASTLE, DEC. 10.—With moderate supplies 0
all descriptions of wheat we could notice no improvement
in the trade, but the rates of Saturday were maintaine&
Barley was if anything the turn in favour of the buyer.
In flour, oats, and other articles no change.
