MANCHESTER CORN MARKET.--March 31.
The continued depressed state of the Corn trade in the Metro-
polis has produced a corresponding effect upon this and the ad-
jacent markets, and throughout the week business has been in
the most lifeless state. The attendance on 'Change to.day was
small, and the shew of samples limited. Fine 'Wheat is better
sale, at last week's rates ; good Oats are scarce, and the turn
dearer. Malt, Barley, and Beans, are heavy sale. Flour is bad
to quit, and, to effect any sales, must be, quoted Is. per sack lower.

Weft.

Weft from 1
Waste ..'

This is a fertile lambing season, many of the
ewes having two iambi each; but there is great scarcity of
food for stock. • Lambs in Leiaestershire hare been sold for
a' shilling each ; and in some instances given away, where
others undertook to pay for their keep. Hay, in some
parts, has sold as high as 101. a load, and then having
many miles to convey it.

The following anecdote was told me by Lucas
van Vuuren, a vee-boor, residing on the late Colonel Gra-
ham's farm of Lyndoch, and for two years my next neigh-
bour at the Bavian's River. It skews that even our colo-

nial lions, when pressed for a breakfast, will sometimes for-
get their usual respect for " Christian-men," and break
through their general rule of " let-a-be for let-a-be."---
Fish River, one morning about daybreak, and observing a
i
a wide circuit. There were thousands of springboks scat-
teredainsim near
b they in Littleking
over the extensive flats; but the lion, from the open
nature of the country, had probably been unsuccessful in
hunting. Lucas soon perceived at least that he was not
disposed to let him pass without farther parlance, and that
be was rapidly approaching to the encounter; and being
without his roer, and otherwise little inclined to any closer
acquaintance, he turned off at right angles—laid the sjarc-
bok freely to his horse's' flank--and gallopped for
but it was too late. The horse was fagged and bore a
heavy man on his back—the lion was fresh and furious
with hunger, and came down upon him like a thunder-bolt.
In a few seconds he overtook, and springing up behind
Lucas, brought horse and man in an instaat to the ground.
Luckily, the poor boor was unhurt, and the lion was too
eager in worrying the horse, to pay any immediate atten-
tion to the rider. Hardly knowing himself how he es-
caped, he contrived to scramble out of the fray, and mad•
a clean pair of heels of it till he reached the nearest house;
Lucas, when he gave me the details of this adventure, made
no observations on it as being any way remarkable, except
in the circumstance of the lion's audacity in pursuing
" Christian-man," without provocation, in open day. Bat
what chiefly vexed him in the affair, was the loss of the
saddle. He returned' next day with a party of friends to
search for it and take vengeance on his feline foe : but bop
the lion and saddle had disappeared, and nothing could be
found but the horse's clean-picked bones. Lucas said he
could excuse the schelm for killing, the horse, as he had al..
lowed himself to get away; but the felonious abstraction
of the saddle, (for which, as Lucas gravely observed, he
Could have no possible use,) raised his spleen mightily, and
called down a shower of curses whenever he told the story
of this hair-breadth escape.--Thompson'. South Africa._
