TATTERSALL' S.-THURSDAY.

The attractions at Newmarket were not sufficient to in-
duce a large proportion of the usual frequenters of the
room to stay away ; and many who had gone there hastened
back, in the forlorn hope of meeting those whose absence
on Monday had excited so much regret. Nothing oc-
curred, however, to lessen the feeling of dissatisfaction
the winding-up of the liunning Rein affair had produced-
In fact, " the absentees" were as numerous as ever, and
the complaints were " loud and deep" at the want of
principle displayed by persons in whom the fullest confi-
dence had been placed. A sort of vague impressiqn,
S
remains that some of the lost sheep may be found at
verpool, and a tacit understanding existed against a public
announcement of defaulters till after that opportunity of
" coming to the post " had gone by. All delicacy will
then cease, and the names of the unprincipled will be
made public without scruple. The dissatisfaction which
prevailed had an obvious influence on the betting, and the
busine,s done was not only limited, but confined to a verf
narrow circle. The following were the closing prices

Twa Woor.. TRADE.--It was fully expected by the
graziers generally throughout the kingdom that the re'
duction in the duty on foreign wool imported into this
country would have the effect of very considerably 11_1
clueing the price of that staple commodity at the seven'
wool fairs generally held at this period of the year in thf,
agricultural districts. These forebodings, however, e
the part of the graziers do not appear likely to be realised'
At the Ilsley wool fair, which was held last week, at wki.e'
uuwards of 4,500 tods were pitched, and more than 4,U,
tods sold, the prices realised were far greater than in 1843 t;
and when it is considered that the prices obtained by th
graziers for their wool at this celebrated annual mart are

not appear that the wool-growers have much cause,for fen

245.'6d. Ever since 1838 (when wool was nearly Lts,
highest) the prices have gradually declined, down to 1 ;1/
when it was at its lowest price. In 7838, the prices whil,
were obtained by the growers at Ilsley fair were as ~.i. ;
