scarce and high, in consequence of Artigas having
prohibited the jerking of beef upon the shores, and
exacting a double export duty.

We have great satisfaction in stating that, as we'
.expected, when we mentioned tile rumour in part of
our impression yesterday, there is no truth whatever
I in the report industriously circulated about the Stock
`Exchange, that the Earl FITZWILLIAM, with three
other Magistrates, having had occasion to interfere
lon Monday,: at the Hunslet Moor Meeting, for the
preservation of the peace, had been shot at and
wounded. It will be seen by an account of what
actually passed at that Meeting, given in another
column, sent to ns by an eye-witness, that the Meet.
ing passed off very quietly ; nor does it appear that,
any Magistrates were even present. The report, bow.
ever, answered its purpose, for the Funds fell one
per cent. It is a great pity that the fabricators of
such alarming reports are not ferreted out, and
punished.
