CHESTER CHEESE AND CATTLE FAIR.—On Wednesday
last the April Fair commenced. The quantity of cheese
pitched was very light. The quantity did not exceed 100 tons;
at this period last year more than 250 tons were exhibited.
A very heavy advance in prices may be anticipated, as in con-
sequence of the business of last year, the quantity of cheese
made is very inconsiderable. Prices on Wednesday, ranged
from 625. to 70s. Two or three fine flavoured dairies realized
725. to 755. In the Cattle Fair there was an unusually large
supply—and from information we received, we believe more
business was done than ever known at this fair. Fat Cattle
were worth 6d. and fild. and sink. Barrons were higher than
at last fair. Milchers were fetching high prices, some as
much as £2l. The Sheep were few, and these few were high
in price. Pigs were plentiful, selling at high prices. The
Horse Fair was poorly attended in point of number, there
we .e some very fine horses, which fetched long prices.—

ANTIQUARIAN DISCOVERIES IN FRANCE.-44 A dis-
covery," says the Quotidienne, " has recently been made
at Bongon, near Mothe-Saint-Heray, in the two Sevres, of
a tumulus, which promises to throw great light on the
civilization of the ancient Celts. A gallery and vast grotto
has been opened. It is formed of nine stones in erect
positions, covered by a slab 26 feet three inches in length.
The interior is completely filled with bones. The head of
each skeleton touches the walls of the grotto, and by the
sides of each are vases of baked earth containing provisions
for the use of the deceased in the other world, the wahalla or
paradise promised to the brave. Nuts and acorns are found
in these vases in perfect preservation. There have also been
found two hatchets and two knives made of flint, several
smaller sharp instruments the use of which is not known, two
collars or necklaces, one of shells and the other of baked
earth, several boars' tusks, the bones of a dog, and a plate
upon which there are fragments of a rude design. Four of
these vases are perfect ; two of them very much resemble
flowerpots, a third has the form of a soup-tureen, and the
fourth, though much the smallest, is the most curious, as it
is the cup of a druid. The tumulus is 200 paces in cir
cumference, and between 18 and 20 feet high. Its formation
may be placed at 2,000 vases and utensils
