FAIRS AND MARKETS.

ARUNDEL CORN MARRIT.—Wheat, 141. to 14/, IN, per
load ; barley, Ur. to Sts.; oats, 29e. to 23e. per quarter ;
t , 6s. ; pease, be. 3d, ; and beans, bs. Od. per bushel.
CHICHUSTIR CORN MARRET.--The Inspector's returns
this week were—Wheat, 595: 5d.; barley, 375. and pease,
425. per quarter.
NORWICH, JULY I9.—There was a good show of Sco'ch
cattle at market on Saturday, but the buyers wero irry
thin; what few were sold were at a little reduction in the
prices. The sheep and lambs were also very plentiful. hut
sold slowly on much the same terms as last week.—Cho
pig pegs were thinly attended, but little demand for them.
YARMOUTH, JULY 17.—We had a good supply of Wheat
at' our Market'on Saturday, which met evreule dull sales
at a reduction of full 2s. per quarter, and little or no
business done even at that abatement. Scarcely any Barley
at Market. In Oats, Pease, and Beans, no alteration.
ty". JULY 17.—Our raarket continues well suppli • I
with Wheat; and the finest qualities meet ready title et
■bout Is. pet• quarter lower. ln, Barley nothing doing.
Oats and (leans rather lower, and in little demand.
Flour is reduced 3s. per sack.
The incessant rain which has fallen for the last three thy,
and still continues, has raised the hopes of the holders of
old stock, and in the same proportion depressed those of
several of the-farmers. That the harvest will be much re-
tarded there can be no doubt, and the impression is very
general that much injury has been already done. Priers
here at present are merely nominal.. The state of ove
weather bas not contributed, as it might be expected, to im-
prove the sales of Flour, which continues extremely dull.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO CHIEF JUSTICE BUSHIC.—The
following is an extract of *letter, dated Wexford, Jo!y-
-15 :—" On Monday, the Chief Justice left his carriage
and mounted his horse, near Arklow; and on his way
down the by-road leading to High Park, the seat of Mr.
Beanman, where be was going to pay a visit. big hors.,
stumbled, fell, and threw the Chief Justice on his head—
a frightful accident for so heavy a man. He was prod?.
dentially not hurt, but only stunned by the fall. from
which he quickly recovered, and was enabled to proceed
to High Park, where medical advice was huts, tly pro-
cured, and every attention paid. It was at first sug-
gested that he should be blooded, but the tnediaal gen-
tleman was of opinion, that it was unneceis.ry, and the
ChiefJ notice W4S shortly enable.; to proceed to Wexford."
—(Dublin Even. Mail.)

The Pcl,4. it ai:pe Ira from the French ra?ers, has met
with a serious accident. On the evening of the 6ili he
fell, in rising from his chair, and fractured the neck of
the femoral bone. He was alone at the time, but Ilia
cries brought his attendants, and he was removed to h-. 1.
The surgeons had not informed him of the fracture. 0.1
the evening of the 7th he WAS seized with a fever, and
the follossing day it was reported in Rome that his Holi-
ness was in great danger.
Tue Ness CoNricy.—The letter signed " Butler,"
extracted from the Fiveinan's Journal into our paper of
Friday, has prompted a correspondent of the former jour-
nal to add to the.case the gratifying stalement that fol-
lows :

" In the night of the 2:11 of June, Butler was talon
prisoner at the bridge of Rathangan, in • proclaimed
district of Kildare ; and the only account he could give
of himself was, that he was a stranger, having no fixed
place of abode, bat spendiog his life in travelling about ;
that he had lately been in the Counties of Clare and
Limerick, and bail passed from Garrylienden to Strad-
belly ; from thence to Monastereven, and from theace
through Kildare and Miltown to Rathangan.

" This was the whole case ; and the Conrt convicted
the prisoner. Bet from his appearance and demeanour,
doubts arose whether he was a subject such as the Instil.-
rection Act was intended to operate against. Immediate
and active ingniry was made, and the result snbitsittel,
without delay, by Mr. Bennett, K. C., to the Lord Lieu-
tenant, who granted the prisoner a free pardon."
We numb regret to learn, that at nne o'clock this morn
ing, a large party of ruffians attacked the Dripsey Paper
Mills, belonging to James and John Magney,
Twelve armed men entered the premises, tied two persons
who were in charge of the place, smashed to fritters a
Patent Paper Machine, valued at i,200/., broke two large
doors, and having demolished oth-r articl.s, rejoined
their outside accomplices, with whom they retreated.—

Flag - --One day last week an warming tire
broke out on the premiss of Mrs. Burford, at
Willingham, in Cambridgeshire, which quickly commu-
nicated to Mr. Wright Few's and Mr. Holbert
borne's, and threatened destruction to a considerahle
part of that town, the neighbouring houses being ail
thatched, and the wind blowing very strong, though
somewhat kept oil by the church on the opposite side of
the iv: O.—However, by the meritorious exertions of the
inhabitants and the neighbouring villagers with four en-
gines, belonging to that and surrounding parishes, its
*furrha sgreading was prevented. The three houses
mentioned, with the out-buildings, were entirely cow-
sinned, and ve:y little of the furniture could be saved :
indeed the inmates of Mr. Few's house had,scsrcely time
to escape before the roof fell in, sod Mr. Ambrose, a
butcher, who occupied part of Mrs. Barfurd's premises,
was much barn in getting his children out. The whole
dariage is estimated at nut less than 12!10/.
