Covent-garden Market appealed, last week, almost
like a wood of evergreens, and the shew of fine fruit,
winter flowers, and abundance of excellent vegeta-

at this season of the year.
CARLISLE, Dcc. 26.—We have had seme sharp
frosts during the past week, which have put a stop
to premature vegetation. Our Market on Thursday;
,was very plentifully supplied with fine Beef, Mutton,
Poultry, and other good ihings of the season. The
Christmas-keeping folks purchased pretty libel ally ;
,and Charitll also put forth her beneficent hand in fa.'
your of those whose enjoyments are dependent ufaan
others. To be able to supply the wants of thcse
is, to the properly constituted mind, one of th;
greatest delights of this cheerful season.
SALISBURY, Dec. 26.—We have never witnessed a
finer shew of beef than has been exhibited at our
market this week, both as to quantity and quality;
and it has met with a quick sale, at from Sid-to 10d.
per lb. The mutton was also superior, and sold at
9d. per-lb.---Our market was abundantly supplied on
Tuesday, and a few superior samples of Wheat and
Burley'Sold at higher prices than last week. In other
grain no variation.—Wheat, 58s. to 7Ss.; Barley,
to 665.; Oats, 345. to 425.; Beans, 725. to 81 s.
. CORN-EXCHANGE,. MARK-LANIt, DEC. ea.
- The supply of Wheat from our own coast being
much smaller this morning than was expected, that
of fine quality sold on full as good terms as on this
day-week, but there was no demand for foreign
Wheat, in which our Market abounds. Fine Barley
also supports last Monday's prices, but the middling
qualities were exceedingly heavy sale, at a decline of
from Is. to 2s. per qUarter. Oats ate rather dull sale
in consequence of the magnitude of the supply, both
English and foreign. In Beans and Peas there is
no alteration in prices, but the demand for each was
very trifling.—Current Prices :
