WEYIIILL FAIR.

At A ppleshave Fair, on Wednesday and Thursdays
the nomistr of sheep was petty considerable, but it is
almost impossible to ascertain the exact number, in
• ton,equence of so many of the flocks being sold with-
out penning. The prices were high, and may be stated
as follows: Dorset Ewes from 28s. to 455. and 505.;
Somerset ditto, 30-. to 52, and 551.
Weyhill Sheep Fair opened on Friday morning, tl e
• 101 t Hist. ; penning commenced %% ills the dawn of day,
and by ix o'clock sales became pretty general, the
fineness ut the weather, together with the freedom for
business, rendering the lively scene both picturesque
and ititertsting. We have seen a gteattr number of
sheep prism.] on estraordinat y occa.itinc, but on ati
average not mote than at the present lair. We may state
the number at nt.t less than 100,000 penned; and, ge-
nerally speaking, apparently in the best condition we
ever witnessed. Sales, towards the middle of the day,
were flatter than at tirsr, and prices may be fairly quoted
as follosis, at least as the list ()gained from some of the
most respectable dealers : Down Ewt a from 18s. to 365.
and '595.; Down Lambs, 16.. to 26). and 295.; Weiler*,
20s. to 355. and 405..
Titus Hoase FAIL—The show of Horses was re-

malleably good ; as regards cart colts, they were nu•
merlin-, and the prices, according to age and condition,
various; the most promising fetched high prices, and,
as usual, were quickly bought up by the London dealers.
Amongst, other horses, we noticed a beautiful string of
foreign ones, we believe Flemish, yearling and two year
' old cart gone colts; they are short and thick, and ape
pear well calculated for farmers' service; they sold
pretty well. Nig and hurling horses were much sought
after, and met a rcady sale on the sheep fair day, which
is considered the:bow fair for horses. Middling horses,
of all classes, were numerous, and according to their
age and condition met with purchasers. •
In the Cheese Fair, we noticed but few I,its as yet
grounded, and no business has commenced it, that dc.
pat.tment. lire Hop and Cheese Fairs gent rally open
on the same,4lty; the prices are expected to be high for
'the treq.daiiies. The flop Fair will not cowmence till
Mosiaay., as the whole of the Farnham Hops will not

•..M /

be expected to be in till twelve o'clock on Saturday,
according to Blissimere Acre Statute, till which time it
will be impossible to state the quantity of Flops
grounded; but from what we gather from conversation,
And judge by present arrivals. we estimate the quantity
at about last year's growth. Both in the Ciond.le and
Farnham rows, the, quantity is said to be very fine.
It is impossible to say what Hops are expected to
realize in price; this must be decided on Monday,
when the fair will open. Should the weather continue
fine, as on the sheep fair day, much business as well as
pleasure may be anticipated in the course of the ensuing
week.' Andover has alresidy been pretty full of people,
from Appleshaw and Weyhill sheep fairs, and there is
little doubt that all the inns and private lodgings will
be thronged for some days to come. There are upwards
of a score of London cars, besides the usual conveyances,
constantly plying from Andover to the Hill.
