FAIRS AND MARKETS.

Oar May Fair, this wear, has been one of the smalle.
ever remembered. Few Seuts, and Ilereords were
shown ; Welch beasts were more plentiful. Goad fr-sh
stores, free from drift, met with a ready sale ; Fat oxen
of superior quality wr‘a scarce and staid freely, Jol,bere
seemed to be on the alert in buying. Fat inu•ton wax
somewhat brisker, but scarce ; s:ore slim ep w .re sold a;
higher, prices. The supply of cheese bro.ight into the
market place was the s nastiest that has been known for
many year. past. Suck was t! edeniand for it at the clo-e
of Tuesday, only a very stP,ll.spisntitv remainll over for
next day. The prices at w such it sold wane, for gond
dairies. 545. 5Gs. and 51s. per cwt. In some few in-
stances 60s. were obtained. The !minim among the
shopkeepers, we understand, was unusually doll. the
attendance of persons from the ceiglibourhoed being corn-
paritavely thin, compared with former years.—(Lescester
Cairerticle.)
NORWICII May 2-L.—There was a capital show of
Scotch Cattle at market on Ssturlay, and good be sts
fully maintain last week's pekes ; the Sheep pens
were well filled, and Lambs taken off Vie ewe were plen-
tiful, bet sold slowly at low prices. In Pigs and Horses
no variation.
CIIICRESTRR CORN Ma RICST.—The corn trade has b. en
brisk ; 1,299 qrs. of wheat were porchase I, which the
Inspector averaged at 606.61. Barley, 34p. Oil 04i.,
225., and Pease at 3Gs. per quarter.

WCISLY RC:ASTER OF VirgaTitEll.—The writhe', ear rag
the last week was s'ioweey ; and viothrh s ome of the days in
oar Register below are described as fair, w e believe tiler .
was not a period of twenty four hours without some rain.—
The quantity that fell here, however, was on the whole bat
6-tenths of an Inch. In the West or North West of Env-
land we have reason to believe the fell was on Friday con-i-
-derable. The temperature, as might be expected, has not
been high, bat vegetation is advancing, though the season
will be rather backward.
