Tha show of cattle at Stamford-Bridge Fair, near York, or.
Friday .e'nuight, was not so large as in some former years, the
prises were consequently high . all the English cattle were sold.
Scots ware not in great request. The quantity of merchandise,
was unusually great.
At Exeter fair, held Tuesday and Wednesday, there were a
considerable number of fat oxen, and sold well; but very few,
lean cattle, which occasioned a great disappointment to many far-
mers who camtato buy. The cloth fair unusually flat ; the dowlas
went oif very brisk, and sold high-we hear that the whole
brought.to the fair was sold, and more wanted. The shops, in
general, complained of having less to do than usual.
The third and last great sheep market on Thursday last, at
Alresford,was thinly attended, but .beep were sold g(naral;y at
good prices. _

Yesterday the following ploughing matches took Io
place, on a piece of ground belonging to the High
Sheriff of this county W. STANFORD, Esq. about a !
stile from this place, and where the parties assembled
about ten o'clock in the morning. The first match
was between Mr. T. A.rrmis and Mr. Barr ; the one
a Solicitor of eminence, and the other late a Lieute.
nant in the Army' Although not professional agri-
culturtsts, yet they betrayed more skill than could
possibly have been expected. The second match was
between die High Sheriff, in person, and Mr. W.
SCRASE ; the third was between Mr. T. ELLstAu and
Mr. W. &RASE ; and the fourth and last was between
two juvenile performers, Mr. TANNER and a son of Mr.
W. SCRAAE. At the conclusion, the parties retired,
and dined tether at the Old Ship ; subsequent so
which, the Judges, Mr. W. GORRINGE and Mr. N.
HALL gave the decisions : in the first•match Mr. BEST
was the winner • in the second, Mr. W. SCRAEE • in
the third Mr. ELLMAN ; and in the fourth, Elr.
TANNER. The latter, and his juvenile opponent were
adjudged the bsst ploughers of the day.

IVESTAIINSTER SCHOOL.

Wednesday evening the Second Representation of
the " Adelphi,", took place in the Dormitory. The
Characters were thus casts • • - -

Upon this oscasion the acting was irtthe same pure.
and baste style which has always characterised this
celebrated Seminary. Propriety of action, distinctness
of articulation, and force and beauty of elocution, free
from all sort of theatrical rant orgrimacQ, distingu i shed
all the Gentlemen whose names we have mentioned.
Some of the characters may be said almost to act
themselves 3 snch are Dentea and Syrus, to which
fun 4.stice was done by Messrs. PRESTON and RAN•
DOLPH. It is only in the subordinate characters that•
peculiar merit sometimes is recognized ; and,we can-
not omit, therefore, mentioning Mr. Muaz, as evin-
cing powers of a very superior
_kind, indeed, in the
short and interesting part of Sostrata.
The Prologue, in very neat Latin, alludes to the
decayed state of scenes, which it states were just
fifty years ago given by the late Archbishop of York;,
on which occasion the Prologue was spoken by the
father of the very same Gentleman (Mr. SALTER),,
whose duty as Captain it was to *liver it on Wed-
nesday.
The Epilogue contained a very humorous bur-
lesque of the Whip Club, some of the Members of
' which were introduced, but not caricatured.
After the entertainment was over, Dr. CAnEv,"the
Head Master, gave a grand supper to a select party
of Old Westminsters ;- among whom were,
Lords H. Petty and Aston, the Bishop of Bangor, the Chief
Baron, Sir John Wrottesley, Messrs. C. Stuart, C. B. Agar, M.
Lewis Taunton, Courtenay, Roe, Home, Dr. Phillimore, Etc.
