MARKETS AND FAIRS.

NORWICH, JULY o.—. There was the largest show of cnttl
on the hill last Saturday that have been see* for some time
past; they consisted of Scotch, Welch, Delves, and Short-
horns, but the buyers were very thin and very little busiuess
was done. The show of Sheep and Lambs was also very
large, but very few were sold, and those without any varia-
tion in their prices of last week. In Horses and Pigs but
little was doing.
Ls ex, dot.v Io.—We had a very good supply of Wheat
at Market on Tuesday, and the continued fine and genial ,
weather caused our trade to be very dull, ash; a reduction ofi
2 to Ss. per quarter may be noted from our prices of this day
we-k. Fn Barley, Peas, and Oats very little doing. Beans
are Ito ios. per qr. lower. Flour the same.
ARUNDEL M'ase'r.—Wheat, 14/. to 131. per load;
barley, Vs. to 31s. per qr.; Oats. 2?s. to 2d.s. per qr.; Pease,
.ss. 6(1., Beans, as. fkl. and Tares. 6s. per bushel ; Flour,
465. to 48s. per hag—vr gallon, IM. qoarterit loaf, gd.
At;Arundel cattle market, on Tuesday, there was but very
little alteration from the prices of the last market-day. The
supply was beyond an average one in all kinds of stock of
the ;tamest quality, particularly of \Vetch runts, and of
%tether mutton. The prices were as follow:—Reef, Ss.
101. to 4s. per stone ; wether mutton, 4s. to 4s. to tkl. ; ewe
mutton, Its. tad. to 44.; lamb, 44. Sd.
Chichester Beast Market, on Wednesday, had a very fell
supplysof all kinds of stock, which caused a heavy sale; and
much of the cattle was driven away unsold,—the sellers
not liking to lower the prices, and buyers not caring to give
the prices asked.
CHICESTER Coax MARKET.—The Corn trade appears
pretty steady; the following is the Inspector's return up to
the sth, viz :—Wbett, Gls. Odd. ; and Beans, 40s. p-r qr.
At Spalding Horse fair, last'hionday week, horses would
scarcely sell at any price.
At Rugby fair, on Monday last, mutton. of which there
was a good supply, ged bed. per !b. ; lamb, Bd. ; beef,
Sid. to Bd. There was about the usual number of horses,
which sold at prices similar to those obtained at late fairs.
At War wick fair, on Saturday se'nnight, fat Cattle sold
from qd. to 6d. per lb. sinking the offal. Mutton, from 4d.
to 61d. Store Cattle but dull sale.
At Lincoln Midsummer fair. on Saturday se'nnight, the
quantity of live stock was not very lerre, and prices were
about the same as at the late markets. There was an indif-
ferent show of horses, for which there was little demand,
except for ponies, which sold for extraordinary prices, in
some instances nearly twice as much as they would have
fetched at Lincoln April fair. The day was remarkably fine,
and a large assemblage of country lads and lasses enjoyed
the pleasures of their usual holiday.
Swansea fair, on Wednesday last, produced hut an Indif-
ferent show of horned cattle, and the little business trans-
acted was upon disadvantageous terms for the grazier. We
saw but few good horses present ; those of the pony kind
were numerous, and met with ready purchasers at moderate
prices.
Llandillo fair, on Saturday week, was supplied with an
uncommon number of cattle, so considerable as to extend to
a greater length than has been seen for some years. A
great number of horned cattle was sold, but did not support
the prices which the late rise had encouraged their owners
to expect.—Good horses were much in request, and sold un- ;
commonly well.
Wednesday's fair at Cleansel was well stocked with Cat-
tle, for the most part in prime condition; but we cannot add
that it held out any encouragement to the Grazier.

CORONER'S freuuss.t.—An inquisition was taken on
Saturday night, before Mr. limns, Deputy Coroner for
Wesminster, at the Feat ers.St.Martin's-street, Leicester-
square, on the body of Charles Watson, aged SO. Mr.
