COUN fKY CURS.

TROY THI COUNTY CHROXICLIG

At Croydon cattle fair on Monday, the show of
cattle WAS exOnbive. and the farm horses appeared to
produce gond prices.
At Lewes Cliffe October fair, held on Thursday, 3,000
sheep and 1,080 lambs (together 4,080) were penned,
but very few of which were driven away unsold. Prices
about the same as at the late fair.

Nottingham Great Michaelmas Fair, commonly called
Gozse Fair," commenced on Thursday, under every
advantage of fine weather, which caused a great influx
of company. As cheese constitutes the principal com-
modity at this fair, there was a plentiful supply, arid
;besides the quality being decidedly superior to that of
last pear, the Ilrices were lower full six shillings to eight
shillings per cut. At the opening of the market, a
few fine dailies, which are always hither, fetched 70s.
but the genet4 average of new n.ilk, plain and co-
loured, may be quoted at 60s. to 68s: skimmed milk 48s.
to 535. to Sts: ' Onions also in good supply, and cheap,
lsi 2d. to Is. 3d. pet peck being the general prices.—
With respect to horses, it is admitted on all hands that
the greatest :Amber were offered foi sale that has been
witnessed at any lair here during the las: twenty years;
good ones, tirfot the saddle, as well as carriage horses,
were much sought after, and sold readily at high prices.
Draught horses, on the contrary, in lit le demand, and
a mere drug. B..asts of every description, and stole pigs,
were petty numerous. The best fed beasts futcheil
7s. 6J. per score,•ss bile the midd.ing and ordinary qua•
lity did not realize so mulch by 6d. and 8.1. per score.
At Uxbridge cattle fair, 'held on Monday, the as-
semblage of visitors wav greater than for main, preced-
ing years ;Ilse servants foi hite.of both Sexes were nu-
merous, and the fair on die- whole presented a very
animated appearance, considering the unfavourable
state 'of the weather. Cattle of every desciiption.wasl
in great abundance, but went oil heavily ; indeed, ewer y
thing met with rather a dull sale during the day, with
the exception of roast goose and perk, which sold un-
ceasingly from 12 till 3 o'clock ; the consumption was
'almost incredible.
Lymington fair, on Friday, was more dull than ever
remembered. Although the quantity of chee•e pitched
was very small, the greater part remained unsicf. The
following priCes may be stated lot the few effected
—Best old Somerset, 84s. to 90i. best new ditto, mis.
to 725. Coward, 54r. to 60s. Skim, '2ls. to 30s.
At Burnham fair, on Thursday last, the show of'
.horses was very small, and the “le equally dull: there
was an unusually large. supply of pigs, and: although'
much lower prices were asked, very few were purchased,
the greater part being driven away unsold.
At Downton fair, on Thursday last, there wasp good
show of sheep, which met a tolerably brisk sale: two-
tooth -ethers fetched from 225. to 255. per head ; four
and six -tooth ditto, 30s. to 345. Ewes fetched from 205.,
to 255. and lambs from 11s. to 225. There was but a
small and poor show cf horses, w ith the exception of
some gaud c4tt colt:, which sold well.
At Yarnborough Castle fair, on Saturday, there was
a good show Of sheep and lambs, which in the early
part of the day went off briskly, fetching good prices;
but the demand afterwards slackened, and, contrary to
t xpectation. many lots remained unsold. There was a
pot.r show of nag horses. The cart colts were nume.uus
and good, and.fetched very high prices.
Hop-picking terminated at Fartingdon on Thursday
last : the crop is considered a fair average one, and of
good quality. 'At the conclusion of the picking, the
pickers walked'in procession, preceded by a band o'
music, to a large and commodious barn, belonging to
W. BENNETT. Esq. where they were regaled with good
English cheer.
From the following esttact of a letter received front

" You are,„po.. gut, aware of the .fever having broke
out at Gibraltar, since which the cordon sanitaire has
bees eltablished.at San Roque by the Spanish Govern-
ment, and is eftfoiced very strictly. We hope that
these strong measures will prevent the epidemic from
visiting us, as hitherto we enjoy good health, as well in
Cadiz as in the ,towns round this place. The alarm,' of I
course, as is always the case, has spread into all the
neighbouring places. At Seville, one of the steam.
vessels haw been detained) the other has been obliged to
.perform eight days quarantine, being in the harbour' f
Cadiz when the news arrived.

An official report of thefeier at Gibraltar, up to the •
14th ult. inclusive, bus been received. The cases in.
crease, but the attacks are getting still more mild
tlic average daily-deaths sue only five; the military .
form iSout one-third of the patients. The following is .
the return of the 14th—Rensained in Hospital, 127 ;
admitted, 22—total, 159. Discharged; 23 ; died, 6.
Gibraltar Papers and letters to the 16th uft. have
been received. The deaths in the civil and military
hospital were on the 11th, four; on,the 12tbs,fiver. ott
the 13th, Hier. on the 14th, three ; and op thi 15th,
six. 'The number of cares was 128;. and there were 25
unJer obtervatioa in the can*. These dates are not,
bobsevor, later than thosivliy the merchant ship Eliza,
last vita. An consequence of thi; fever, Malaga was
entitly closes; no mstio could enter'or get out. Toe
Govet nor caused fivd tir six men; the crew of a vessel
frogs Gibraltar, to be 'shot`for introduttog coottAitaill
goods, sepposed to be infected' with the fever.
A New York Paper states, that f: nit trees which are,
attacked by the wurm .in the root, may be kept frogs
destruction, and restored to a healthy state, by pouring
three or four galloos of (within water gently on the
ground, so as to teach the root.

The French troops are to leave this place on SA.
torday next, overland for France; the General corn.
manding this division has told me it will, take them 58
days to finish th eir march, is you see they go at a
snail's gallop. Various measures, tending to prevent the
spreading of the malady, have been ordered by our
authorities; one of them directs that two of the pain-
cipal inhabitants shall be stationed at each entrance of
the town to examine the passports, and lot to allow
any one to enter under any pretext whatever: Every
inhabitant is compelled in turn to perform this duty,
and is relieved every 24 hours; there is no distinction
1 made in fulfilling this duty. We are visited to-day by
' a high easterly wind; which is very ominous in this
state of awful expectation. Amongst us it is affirmed
that the epidemic has reached Seville ; indeed, it. will
be quite wonderful if we escape without a stroke from
tbie hortible scourge."
