MARKETS AND FAIRS.

Lewes, July 91.—At our Beast Market, on Tuesday, he-
visess was not very brisk. It was well supplied, at prices
rather lower than on the.preceding market day, good runt
beef hawing been refused at 34. 101. per atone.
At HaiMama market, on Wednesday, good beasts, we
are inf)rened, fetched from 28s. to 305. more• than were
asked for them here the day before.
Laenceston fair on Monday se'onight was but thinly sop.
plied with cattle, particularly fat bullocks. Steers sold at
30s. a cwt. No sheep sold.
There was a plentiful show of fat cattle on Wednesday
last, at Kingsbridge market, which met with a decline in
price. Prime fat bullocks from 405. t 0.435. per cwt. Fat
sheep from 4d. to 40. per lb. sinking offal. Cows and
cetera sold well. Store cattle dull. White wheat 75.,941.10
Or per bushel. Bider Ss. Od. to Ss. 9d: Oats, Ss. Od. to
Ss. 9d.
Wednesday morning being very wet and unfavourable,
tltere were not nearly so many country people in town, as
fa usual on the Midsummer fair Wednesdays. Horses were
rot so numerous as last year. The whole brought forward
wo, 1 amount to between 800 and 900. Cart horses, in
good condition: were looked after; and brought fair prices.
One fine der* grey, five yeses old. considered the best, or
emelt' the hest in the market, brought rather above Sftl •
Arettier animal, in fine condition, which brought 331. about
this time last year, was brought forward, but left the market
unsold. The proprietor repeatedly refused from 281. to 291.
A number of pretty good working horses sold from 161. to
94/. A good deal was done between the dealers and coun-
try people in the draught, by exchanges. Saddle horses
were in request t but-there were few very superior ones in ,
tte market. One dealer had a floe beast, thorough bred,
for which he refeaed 1001. The same person sold six, which
b. 'light, on an average. 401. each—but the greater part of
(lie riding horses brought forward sold from ea. to SW. A
',mare of pretty fair roadsters appeared in the market, but
eery little business was done in them. The holders stood
out (or from ?Si. to 291. for the best. There were but few
ponies in the fair, and those that appeared were soon taken
06 at good prices. They brought, Recording to their age,
size, and condition, from 41. to IU. The Highland ponies
that were formerly so numerous at the fair, seem now to be
nearly extinct. There were few &relish or south country
dealers. The most of the business was dove after five
o'nlock. and the dealers state that it was rather a dull market

Mr. HEALD to-day resumed his arguments in favour of
the Doke, the principal subject of which was the vague
manner i p which the last issue bad been worded, because
it admitted of evidence before the Master.
Mt. Gnu clay (when Mr. Heald bad concluded) said that
he was unprepared at that time to ewer in•o his defence,
and requested his Lordship to grant him six days for the
purpose of preparing documents, and six days more for
the purpose of prepOing answers to life arguments of
the Doke's Counsel.? • ,
Hja GeRDSHIP said that he would do all in his- power
to meet the wishes of-Mr. Dourlay ; but, by asking so
much time, care should be taken that it did not interfere
with the vacation. •
Mr. Donrlity said that. having his papers relative to
this cause in a box, together with many other papers, he
bad not had_time since the cause cube on to look into it.
