WORSHIP-STREET.

Saturday, Mr. Humphries attended, to defend Mules Salmon
and 2'lsoinus Bull, joint proprietors of several of thr Padding►on
stage-coaches, against informations which had been laid against
them by Miller John Byers, the noted informer, for not having
their Christian and Surnames painted on the pannel of each door of
the coach, they having " Chas. Salmon" on one door, and " Thos..
Hull" on the other.

Mr. Humphries took some technical objections to the averments,
but they were over-ruled by the Magistrates.
Byers stated in Court, that not one-third of the coaches that
leave London comply with the Act. His harvest therefore pro-
mises to be abundant, as he took out forty-seven summonses.
The defendants were convicted in two cases in the mitigated
penalty of X 5 each. One was withdrawn, and the fourth ins re-
served for consideration.

Castle Yarhnry Fair was hell in the entlenchmer.t
upon the plain, betwixt /linden and Amesbury, on Thursday last.
There was a very large quantity of sheep and bs penned, not half
of which were sold. Capital ewes in lamb would only yield fruits
12s. to 161. each; and lambs, which last year would have fetched
16s. each, were sold with difficulty at Si. ,When it is considered
that the ordinary stock of sheep on the Wiltshire Downs is toma
puted to be at least 600,000, a reduction innoe year of lOs. a bead
(supposing that the farmer sells off half), causes a deficiency iu one
county of 150,0001. in the farmer's means of paying hit rent and
tithes. It is true that the purchaser gets additional means, but to
the stock farnier the deficiency must be a very serious injury.—
ISince there is now an abundance of grass, and the turnip, ate re.
markably fine, this reduction must, ere long, be felt in the markt t
for fat cattle. The large fair for sheep begins at :iprl:hy. near
Weyhill, on Saturday, and the farmers are very apprt he ii.:ve that an
immense quantity will remain unsold, at any price. Toe re were matey
fine cart colts at the Castle Fair, which supported 110 prices.
Hindoa market, which sonie years ago, was a very
considerable one, exhibited on Thursday V. pigs, two baskets of
butter, and three butchers' stalls. No corn, no other evtle, end
not above 2.o'persons in the market. The fact Is, that .1) their
is no spirit, and few customers, there will he no induceme:l to off..-r
produce for sale. Since yesterday , the Rep. o ter has learnt that the
landlord at the Lamb Inn in this town, who rents a po-tii.g and
coach house, scarcely worth £5O per annum, paid half a 7ear's
rates, a few days ago, which amounted to no less than .ette. Toe
rate is, on small houses, more thin the rent! What is there it: the
north of England equal to this? Fortunately, however, :or ti4e
inhabitants, Lord Gaosvaxoe, has recently purchased a long tract of
land contiguous to the town, and when he is made acquaiwed with
this state of thins, there can be little doubt of his bruin on
some work, which shall create a demised for labour, and era(de 'ha
people once more to lift up their heads. The farmers around !we
go a distance of 10 miles to find a market for their produce.
