Chichester beast market. on Wednesday, was unusual-
ly full of stock of every description, but more particular-
ly of sucking calves, brought from ►he Westward, which
formerly used to be brought slaughtered from Salisbury;
a great advantage is derived in bringing the animals
alive. both to the buyer and seller, as by the old mode
much of the veal was unfit for sale : this very plentiful
supply caused a small decline in prices. in favour of the
butcher, on this stock ; but in the other the prices equel-
led those of last Market-day.

Horncastle fair, which commenced on Friday, was bet
thinly supplied with horse., and most of those brought
in were not made up for the occasion, but evidently out
of condition. Horses that were in condition, bowers-,
folly maintained the late great advance, in ci nseqnence
of the numerous attendance of t'enters, whose cheering
presence imparted animation, and occasioned a d►mand
more brisk than the supply was competent to meet. At
the stock fair.on Monday morning sheep in general went
off at lower prices than had been obtained at recent mar-
kets; yet fat stork were easily disposed off and ap-
peared to be mush in request.

racter of being silly, found his way into Soothover

locked him into the chord', where be remained under the
ialluence of Somnus, until about three the next morning,
when he awoke, and more like a shrewd fellow than a
fool, proclaimed his situation by the loud tongue of one
of the bells, which quickly alarmed the neighbourhood,
and produced his liberation.—(Susses Ado)
A large dolphin, during the last week, having got
up as far as thinsborough, various strwagems, both
'open and secret, were used to obtain him ; hot had he
not accidentally, on Sunday evening se'nniglit, got up-
on a stone heap between Morton and W. lkerith, there
seems little likelihood but that he •woet 1 have made
his escape to his native element. He turns out to bo
a very tine specimen of the dolphin tribe, about 10,1
feet long, 5 feet in circumference, and weighing up-
wards of 50 stone, and by far the largest that bas ever
been seen in the Trent.
