Lewes stork market, on Tuesday, was well suppl:ed ; beef

N.,R rtcu, August 28.—At our cattle m srket on the C..s.
tie Ditches, on Saitrdav, two pens of I mass part.cul ,rly
attracted tlt attention of the farmers. were bred by
Mr. Darby, of I iton, near this city. One pen bred fro It
Sussex Down ewes and a Leicester tap, franc a celehr.tel
I breeder in Leicestershire, and the other from a Leicester top
of Mr. llowletes, of Boa thorpe, and Susses Down ewes.
The lambs from Mr. 1100 top were considered as end-
newly superior in every recini•ite froiw those of the Leices•
tersiiire top, and were bought as high as 26/. p-r score.
They were three times sold in the coarse of the day.
YA lIMJUTII, August •3i.—The weath4r h.wing been very
unfavourable for the harvest. cawaed a hr :.,k ileman i for
tine fresh old wheat, at an advance of from 4s. to 6s. pe.-
varier. No new at market yet. A few satuples of new
barley appeared; they are of a hall colour and very damp.
which sold at :its. and 325.--In other grain note no alter-
ation for last week.

.es Northampton fair on Tuesday list, there was a good
show of horses of different kin's ; those of superior epality
were briskly sold, but without any advance in price, not—
withstanding the improvement at florin:astir. Short
horned beasts were init.h in mlemnantl, and obtained brisk
prices.
At Ipswich fair, which commenced on Friday last, it was
considered that the show of lambs exceeded by about 54.1011
the number penned last year, although there was by no
means more than an average quantity. Tbe 'wetness of the
weather in the early part of the day prevented the fair from
being s•t so early as usual, and it was full Circe o'clock in
the afternoon betore the lambs intended for sale were pot
into the hurdles. The sale, however, was during time inter-...
vats of fine weather throughout the day reasonably brisk,
and before night a very lar.ze q'ta•mtity bad been disposed
of ; the prices obtained exceeded tilos," of last year from dd.
to 4s. per head. On the morning of the second day the
continued rain occasioned a coosiderable delay in placing
the unsold lambs again in hurdles; but the weather clear-
ing about twelve o'clock an unprecedented briskness pre-
vailed till about three, when 4 very heavy fall of rain, which
continued for about half an hour (literally speaking) put an
end to the fair,altbough by that time very few parcels oflainba
indeed remained unsold, and time prices of that day fatly
equalled those of the preceding day. Of the kinds of lambs
offered for sale the real Southdo men evidently obtained
preference. The rage which a short time since pre'
for the half-bred Leicester stock appears to have
pletely subsided, and next to the stock of the Sou
breed, the lambs from the cross of the Norfolk and

down were wort saleable. There were in pre crap

shearliog stock at the fair than perhaps were eves
seen there. and the prices at which they acre disisased
exceeded those of last year by about 3s. per brad.
