YORK.-At the York Whit Monday fair, there was a
very great show of horses, most of which were inferior
ones, consequently very low prices were offered for them;
what few there were of a superior kind, however, fetch-
ed high prices. The sliew of cattle was small. and
beasts sold at very low prices. 'l'lie fair was remarkably
thinly attended by the country lads end lassies, but to•
wards night,eacli Miss who hid entered her teens, either
had, or would fain have bad, her Beau, with whom to
show off at the fair. We do not believe there were any
pickpockets at the fair, following their wonted avoca-
tions; a circumstance never before known, but which
we attribute to the recent establishment of • Vagraet
Office in that city, by which means most of the idle and
the dissolute have been driven from its precincts. The
evening's amasements conclnded, as is usual on such
occasions, with a few boxing matches in the streets.
YORK, MAT 30.-The wool market here to-day. was
again abundantly stocked with wool. and t
consequentlypurchasers;
of what was shown was sold readily at the following
prices :-Hon wool, from 14a. 6d. to a few samples
of superior, 16(. 6.1. ; hog and ewe wool, 146. and 146.6 d.
per stone of 161bs.
At Leicester fair. on the 20th ult. there was a large
show of cattle and horses. Rtore beast were bought at
price+ that afford but little prospect of profit to the gra-
zier. Good horses were readily sold, but inferior ones
costa hardly be disposed of at any price. The show of
sheep on Tuesday was little better than a market ; stores
lawool were ready sale, with the prospect of dieposi?g
t the wool only ; mutton was unsaleable except at ruin-
ous prices to the grazier. There wee a tolerable ssppl
of cheese, whichsold briskly at from 365. to 46e. with
but little remaining over for the next day. Two or three
prime dairies fetched 485.
New Bolingbroke market was well attended on Tues-
da last, bo.h by jobhers and gentlemen. The show of
beasts and sheep was small : the latter were sold from
64. to Bs. per.head dearer than before. Tuesday next,
being a fortnight market, a large show is expected.
Spalding cora market, on Tneaday last, was exceed-
inely dull, the prices of vain being still lower.
At Lenten fair, on Wednesday, the show of fat beasts
was rather small, but the trade b.( no means brisk. The
best heifer beasts made shoat ss:Ceil. per stone; a few
small Scots' obtained 66. Good horses sold higher than
last year, hut there was a small 'hew. while inferior
horses were quite a drug.
Whitsuntide fair at Newark, on Tuesday last. was very
thinly supplied with stock. Good hones met with a
ready sale at considerable advance ; beasts were also
quickly sold, and the market empty by soda.
Nouwten. Mae 31.-Our Coen market on Saturday
last was bat thinly attended ; a few samples of grain of
fine goalie+, sold at last week's prices; inferior sorts were
slow of sale.
The Cattle market was well supplied with fat and leas
stock of every description, and a few good hones. Some
business was doee amour the Seats and homebred+. The
prices of meat iu general are without variation.
LTNN. Mar 30.-We had a large supply of wheat at
market ea Tuesday. but a general dullness pervaded the
trade. end very little basinees done, and last week's
prices were scarcely supported for Rae samples; sad the
edge kiwis moody uossiesble.
Whitson beast fair, at Lewes. on Tuesday last, WIG
dell beyond precedent. Prime stock heifers aod steers
fetched from Is. 10d. to 26. 4(1. ••old oxen from 16.6 d.
to de.; mid good cows, Is. 61. to Is. 11;d. pet *tome.
The quantity of stock driven away unsold was consider-
able.

take, 91. per thousand.
At Arundel beast market, on Tuesday. there was a
good sepoly of all descripdoas of cattle. The best
stork obtained last market day's prices; except calves.
which, trete their abundance. were so.newhat lower.

ARRNDIL CORN M•aaaw.--Wheat, 71. to 101. per
load; Barley, 16e. to 186., and Oats, 15s. to 113 s. per

quarter.
CRICHISTIR STOCK Maaarr.--Seick a market in
point of fulness has beer seldom witnessed as that at
Chichester, on Wedaesday. The profusion' of lean
stock of course made a reduction of price ; and it is a
bet that three two-yearling heifers (in calf) were of-
fered for nine guineas, and not sold. Prime butchers'
meat was bought lower than last day.—A fair quota-
tion we deem thus: Mutton, 2s. Bd. to 35.; Beef. 3s.
4d. to 3s. 6d. ; Lamb, 55.; and Veal, 3.. Bd. per
stone. Breeding Sows, from 18a. to 255.; aid store
Pigs very reasonable.
CRICUIVITIeR CORN MARKST.—The Con Inspect-
tor's room of the past week are as follow. viz. :
Wheat, 4 is. and Barley, 18s. 92d. per quarter.—No
other returns made.
On Saturday. the 18th ult.. the following live stock
were sold at Blandford market:—One 2-year old Nor-
man heifer in calf (which it was supposed would calve
in one month); three 2-year old barren heifers; are
2.year old bull ; one 2-year old steer; three yearling
heifers; making in the whole eine. which were sold
for the sum of 18/. 10s. hp a dealer. who declared he
hail got by the sale 17s. 6d.—(Dorchester Journal.)
The fair of Callaltill, on bitnalay, promoted the saw I
doll sad gloomy aspect which we bate frequently bad
occasion to notice at our retest fairs. The best =Bch
tow in the fair brought only 91. ; beasts shoat to
calve, 51. to fire guineas. Dry store cattle still less,
and other stock in proportion.—(leinater Journal.)

NCIrCASTLE. MAT 31.—For the last throe weeks the
weather has been most delightful and genial. The
most beneficial effect has been produced upon the coon-
try, which every *here bears the most luxurious ap-
pearance, aid gives promise of a most early and plen-
tiful harvest. Never indeed was so early a season
known ; grass has actually been cat for bay, and there
is every appearance that the hay harvest will soon be
general. The wheat is almost every where in the shot
blade, and we have heard of some in ear ; rye has been
shot some time. Gooseberries have been in the market'
for some weeks past, and are now selling for 461. a
quart; new potatoes last market day were selling fur
Is. Rd. per quart ; and cahlinges 3 end 4 a penny.
CARLISLE, Jr:TE I —Ai no former period did the
face of nature look more smiling. The summer fruit
treet of every description are bent with their delicious
loads; the farinaceous vegetables are getting into ear, I
and promise a great increase and of excellent quality. I
The oldest person does not recollect so great a growth
of excellent grass ; and, indeed, there is not one spa.
Iles of vegetable which is not represented to be both
abundant in produce and excellent in quality. The
pointer, io particular, will be a fine crop.—On Tues-
day, the 2141, a meadow, belonging to Mr. J. lteay,
