At Ipswich fair on the 29. d instant, the spew of
lambs was very considerable, and reckofied much
larger than has been seen there for many years ;mit.
The demand for them, liotvever, was so great, that
before the fair could be considered as properly set,
very extensive sales were effected, and, throughout the
day, the business maintained an unprecedentedbrisk-
ness, more lambs being sold than can scarcely be re-
membered on the first day of the fair. On the fol-
lowing morning, such as remained unsold on the.6rst
day, together with many fresh parcels belonging to
jobbers, were brought into the fair by eleven o'clock,
and the same briskness which prevailed the preceding
day, was immediately renewed, with unabated vigour,
and continued till almost every pen of lambs was
sold. There was very little, if any, variation in the'
prices of the two days, and, upon the whole, the
terms may be stated to have been from 2s. to 3s. in
the pound higher than last year, and, as nearly as
possible, equal tb the prices in the fair of the year
1807.
Of the description of lambs most sought after, the
true Southdown& unquestionably bore the preference.
For this breed,,Mr. A. Brooks, of Horringer (whose
pen was allowed the best in the fiir), obtained
25s.rsd. ; Mr. Walton, of Timworth,.24s. 6d. ;
Barnes, Esq. of Dunwich, 245. 6d. ; second ewes,
21s. ; and crones, 265. ; Joshua Grigby, Esq. 245. ;
Mr. Brooks, of Sutton, 245. ; and Mr. Fowell, of El.
den, 20s.
Next to the true-bred Southdowns, the half-bred
Norfolk and Southdown lambs were most eagerly
purchased. Mr. Rout's, of Onehouse, and some few
others, reached -241. 10s. per score ; Marquis Corn-
wallis's and Mr. Pawsey's, of Lidgate, 245. each (the
latter a most generally-admired pen of lambs) ; Mr.
Cook's, of the Race Ground Farm, 225. 6d. ; Sir W.
Middleton's, 225. ' • Mr. Cotten's, of Kesgrave, and
Mr. Curtis's, of Rushmere, each 20s. ; and Mr.
Twist's, of Brettenham, 18s.
For the half-bred Southdown wethers and ewes,
Mr. Robert Craske, of Stowlangtoft, obtained 245.
(his laMbs being remarkably fine) ; Mr. Palmer, of
Herrin swell, 235. ; Mr. Bryant, of Nacton, 225. 6d. ;1
tannings, nnings, of Pakenham, 225. Bd. ; the Duke of
Grafton, 225. ; Mr. Weeding, of Kesgrave, 21s. ;
and every pen of 1...1nbs of this description, sold at
prices proixirtioruit.y. high. Mr. Pawsey, of Lid-
gate, averaged 2h 6d. for his half-bred Southdown
ewes.

Although k will not be denied, that lambs of the
above description bole a very mailed preference, yet
we cannot help expressing much satisfaction, that the
true-bred Norfolk lambs came next in rotation, and
experienced a much brisker sale than they have done
for several years; and, if in equal condition, they
obtained prices nearly similar to those of the half-bred
Norfolk and Soutbdown stock ; Mr. S. Craske, of
Rougham, and many other persons, having obtained

The lambs which seemed to be by far the most
neglected by. the Graziers, were those of the Lei-;
cester and half-bred Leicester stock, which could
scarcely find bidders at any price, as long as any of
the other lambs remained unsold ; and, when dis-!
posed of, were sold at prices very inadequate to such'

As were readily obtained fur lambs of any other de•
icription.

During the above fair, the light-fingered gentry
have not been inactive ; Mr. THOMAS Roußtrrs, of
Kirton, lost his pocket-book, containing bank-notes to
a considerable amount; Mr. KING, of Stuttcn, had
his pocket picked of property to the amount of nearly
470. ; and another gentleman lust his pocket-book,
xitit upwards of £6OO therein !

The Merino sheep have at length been -removed
:Tom St. James's Park.

On Monday list a foot-race took place on Epsom
Downs, which excited considerable interest among► the
sporting gentry : two men of great notoriet;• in the
pedestrian line, of the names of POLLARD and JONE.S.
were backed to run against each other the distance of
.Wenty miles, for a thousand guineas. After running
N miles, JoNts gave in, being a mile and a half be-
bind PoLLARD. POLLARD is a native of Lancashire,
and a weaver ; JONES is a publican, and a native of
Walt s.

A fine female infant, apparently about three montlu-
o'd, was pl iced in -a basket at the door of a gentle-
m In's house in Upper Seymonr•street, on Sunday
evening ; a violent ring was given at the bell, and the
servan: on going out of the door stumbled over the
basket ; the child was carefully wrapped up, and the
basket was directed to the master Of the house, v
has humanely ordered a nurse to be provided and
'every care to be taken of the infant.
Last Week, at Crayford Fair, PHILIP Revsous.
who has long been accustomed to attend fairs, with
swing boat, had erected his machinery ; but a tre-
mendous shower coming on while the same was in
motion, discomposed the'apparatus, and, to save the
people who were swinging from danger, he endea-
voured to stop its progress, but in the attempt it
struck him on the b.-east, and, after expressing I
am a dead man," he instantly expired.
A few days since, as Mr. BLACKLOCK4orBigIands,
was shooting on the Moors, near Gountry, in com-
pany with some other.gentlemen,.he was observed to
fill into an old coal-pit, which was overgrown with
heath. His companions immediately hastened to the
spot, and were agreeably surprised on finding he had
received no serious injury. They then procured ropes
from a neighbouring village, and thus rescued him
from his perilous situation. .

UNION-HALL.—Yesterday the Office was crowded
with persons at an early hour, - to hear the second ex-
amination of the man confined on suspicion of being
concerned in the murder of Elizabeth Winterflood.—
In addition to the former evidence, a woman named
Ann Ballard, of Hudson's-place, Lock's-fields, was
examined, who stated that- about a month ago, Ann
Robinson, the principal evidepce :igainst the prisoner,
told her that the prisoner had taken seventy pounds
of hei money since Christmas last, and that she would
, arrest him for it if he did not pay her; she afterwards
said she had him in her power, and she would have
her revenge, as revenge was sweet. No farther evi-
dence was produced against the prisoner. After an
attentive investigation of all the circumstances, the
Magistrate was of opinion that there were not suffi-
cient grounds to commit the prisoner, and he was
accordingly discharged.
