divided in 21 sets, on being taken up on the 13th inst., pro-
duced 1171 b. of potatoes, at Southam, Northamptonshire.
Three stacks of hay were totally destroyed on
Wednesday by fire at Fritton, Norfolk. Three men are
committed to Norwich Castle on suspicion of wilfully set-
ting fire to the same.
At Salisbury Michaelmas fair on Tuesday
there was but a small quantity of cheese pitched, which
met with a dull sale at the following prices :—Best Somer-
set, 68s. to 745. per cwt. ; second ditto, 625. to 665. ;
best North Wilts, 60s. to 655. ; second ditto, 545. to 58s. ;
skim, 245. to 30s. A considerable quantity remained un-
sold. Onions were in vast abundance, exceeding in quan-
tity, and also in quality, any before remembered at this
fair ; they fetched from 2s. to 4e. per dozen ropes, and
from 4s. to 6s. per sack. There was a large quantity of
potatoes, which fetched from 3s. to ss. per sack. Aires-
ford Michaelmas fair on Thursday last was very fully at-
tended : lambs fetched from 10s. to 20s. each; ewes,
17s. to 245. ; and wethers, from 225. to 355. Pigs sold
at very high prices.--County. Chronicle:
' HARVEST.—The promise of an excellent and
early harvest has been in some measure blasted by a very
unexpected and unfavourable change of the weather. For
this fortnight past we have had a great deal of rain, which
has often fallen very heavy, and followed by warmness and
a heavy (lamp atmosphere, threatens very bad effects to the
out-standing corn, which in some districts, we regret to
hear, is much more considerable than we had been led to
expect. It is satisfactory, however, in this doubtful state
of part of the crop, to learn that the largest proportion of
all kinds of grain, in general so abundant, is safely secured
in the stack-yard, with some few exceptions, in good con-
dition. In this quarter the price of oatmeal has, from the
favourable appearance of the crop, fallen of late considers-
blv.—Aberdeen Chronicle.
' USEFUL TO GARDENERS.—..The following
method of driving worms, caterpillars, and all other sorts
of insects from trees, has lately been practiSed in America
with singular success:—Bore a hole.into the trunk of the
tree as far as the heart, fill this hole with sulphur, and
place in it a well-fitted plug; a tree from four to eight
inches in diameter requires a hole large enough to admit
the little finger; in the same proportion for larger or smaller
trees. This will usually drive the insects away in the
course of 48 hours, but, uniformly succeeds, perhaps some-
times after a longer time.
The sale of the following celebrated Hunters
took place at Tattersall's yesterday, and drew together a
large assemblage of Noblemen and Gentle Men of distinc-
tion in the Sporting World :—Clinker, by Clinker, dam

PEACE AND PLENTY.---4 Protestant Clergy-
man, living in the neighbourhood of Birr, King's County,
where an inveterate animosity exists between the hostile
I names of Cummins and Derrick, happened incautiously, in
the presence of labourers, to express an opinion unfavour-
able to one of the opposing parties. His words were re-
ported (with embellishments, of course), and accordingly
the testy gentlemen, came at night and set fire to his corn
stacks. A country fellow, of whom I inquired into the
degree of estimation in which this gentleman is held, assured
me that he is a very good jintleman, and the neighbours
likes him as well as the Prtesht. "The devil they do !"
quoth I; "how Caine they to destroy every grain of corn

satisfactory to the sufferer: and so, indeed, my informant
seemed to think it, for he subjoined, "Let his Reverence
keep up his heart, and how, for I'll be bound the Corn-
minses will crap the willians, and the divvil's cure to

COLONIAL MARKETS.
PLANTATION SUGAES.—The grocers are purchasing
rather freely this morning at last week's prices, and the
importers appear inclined to meet their views in order to
effect sales. There is a good supply at market. The re-
.finers are endeavouring to pick up such qualities as are fit
for the pans, at from 625. to 645. The deficiency in the
present stock between this and last year is upwards of
9;300 casks. Foreign Sugars very little doing.
REFINED SUGARS.—The accounts received from Ham-
burgh yesterday not being quite so favourable, has caused
a flatness in the demand for low lumps, and notwithstand-
ing their scarcity, they can be purchased 6d. per cwt.
cheaper; in other descriptions there is no alteration.
CoFr.zz.---The public sales of Friday last went off with
considerable spirit at very full prices, both for Plantation
and Foreign; of the latter 955 bags were offered, end
nearly the whole sold as follows, viz, good -ordinary La
Guayra 418.'a 425.; good to fine ordinary coloury Brazil
425. 6d. a 465. 6d. ; ordinary ditto a 88s. ; ordinary pale
St. Domingo bought in 88s. 6d. a 395. 6d., but for which
38s. 6d. was bid. This morning only one sniall sale has
been brought forward, consisting of middling Jamaica,
which sold 665. to 748. ; good middling ditto 76.4. a 775.
and a small parcel pale Brazil, which was bought in at 395.,
38s. bid.
