CATme.— The number of Cattle on the San" 001
was 1856, all of which were disposed of at prices
the same as those of last week.

On Thursday last several Porpoises or Ste:
Hogs made their appearance up the Wye, above Cher„:tl
bridge, and afforded a fine opportunity for about vv-ol
sport men to display their skill in firing ball. It is suPP°Ol
that not less than 500 balls were discharged at then" -16
two remarkably large porpoises (one supposed to weigi,
cwt.) were evidently killed, but unfortunately sunk in ut‘'',
water. The porpoise is most destrnetive to salmon, ilro,
therefore been suggested to purchase a net by subscriPtiff
to drop across the pool in which the porpoises are generlby
seen at low water. Many would probably be destroyeubb,
this means, and it would afford sport for spectators oo
bridge to see them taken.—Cheltenham Chronicle.

This desideratum, however, is about to be supplied by he
erection of a commodious inn on the south side of t
Ferry, which, along with some other improvements in Pr°;.
gress, will add considerably to the convenience of traveller
About a twelvemonth ago, a steam-boat of about thictir:
five horse power, was launched at the Ferry, for the pure
nose of facilitating the passage across the Forth. 134-
that time horses, carts, carriages, cattle, &C. were cr;

was boisterous, travellers were obliged to go round it

may be mentioned that, on the morning of the late trysts
about one hundred head of cattle, twelve horses, witho
numerous party of passengers, were conveyed wogs a
Ferry at one trip ; and since the boat was built, two neat
piers have been finished, so that a carriage and four is ext;
