IPSWICH FAIR.
At Ipswich Fait on the 22d instant, the Shew
of Lambs was considerable, and reckoned much
larger than has been seen thero for many years
past. The demand for them, however, was so
great, that before the Fair could be considered as
properly set, very eetensi re sales were effected, and
throughout the day, the business maintained an
unpreccdeuted briskness, more Lambs being sold
than can scarcely be remembered on the first day
of the Fair. On the following morning, such as
remained uusold on the first day, together with
many fresh parcels belonging to jobbers:, were
brought into the Fair by eleven o'clock, and the
same briskness which prevailed the preceding day,
was immediately renewed with unabated vigour,
and continued till almost every pen of lambs was
sold. There was very little, if any, variation in
the prices of the two days, and upon the whole
the terms may be stated to have been from 2s. to
3s. in the pound higher than last year, and as
nearly Si possible equal to the prices in the Fair
of the year 1807.
Of the description of Lambs most sought after,
the true South-downs unquestionably bore the pre-
ference. For this breed Mr. A. Brooks, of lior.
ringer (whose pen was allowed the best .in the
Fair), obtained 2.35. lid. ; Mr. Walton, of Tim_
worth, 245. 6J. ; Same Barnes, Esq. of Dun-
wich, 245. 6d. second ewes 2 ts. and crosses 265. ;
Joshua Grigby, Esq. 245. ; Mr. Brooks, of Sot.
ton, %Is: ; and Mr. Foe ell, of Elden, 20s.
Next to the true-bred South-downs, the half.
bred Norfolk and South.down Lambs were most
eagerly purchased. Mr. Rout's, of Onehouse,
and some few others, reached 241. 101. per score ;
Marquis Cornwallis's and Mr. Pawsey's, of Lid.
gate, 245. each (the latter a most generally ad.
mired pen of lambs) ; Mr. Cook's, of the Race
Ground Farm, 9.25. 6d. ; Sir W. Middleton's,
225. ; Mr. Cotton's, of Kesgrave ; and Mr. Cur-
tis's, of Rushmere, each 20s. and Mr. Twist's, of
Brettenham, 18s.
For the half-bred Sonth-down wethers and ewes
Mr. Robert Craskc, of Stow langtoft, obtained 245.
(Isis lambs being remarkably tine) ; Mr. Palmer,
of lierrisigswell,.23s. Mr. Bryant, of Nactop,
22e. 6d. ; Mr. Jatmings, of Pakenham, 225. 3d. ;
the Duke of Grafton, ; Mr. Weeding, of
Kcsgrave, 21s. ; and every pun of lambs of this
description sold at prices proportionably high.—
Mr. Pavriey, of Litigate, averaged 21s. 6d. for his
half-bred South-down ewes.

Although it will not be denied that Lambs of
the above description bore a marked preference,
yet we cannot help expressing much satisfaction
that the tree bred Norfolk Lambs came next in
rotation, and experienced a much brisker sale
than they have done fur several years ; and if in
equal condition, they obtained prices nearly simi-
lar to those of the lialf-bred Norfolk and South-
down stock ; Mr. S. Craske, of Rougham, and
many other persons, having obtained 21s.
The Lambs which seemed to be by fsr the most
neglected by the graziers, were those of the Lei-
cester and half bred Leicester stock, which could
searcely End bidders at any price, as long as any
of the other Lambs remained unsold ; and when
disposed of, were sold at prices very inadequate to
such as were readily obtained for Lambs of any
other description.

Extract of a latter received last week, by Mr.
J. Fearw, of Hull, dated Gibraltar, July 20, 1809,
giving a very distressing account of the capture of
the Louisa Henrietta, Captain Howard, of that
port, by two piratical row-boats :—" Sir, having
yesterday received a letter from the Consul of Ma-
jorca, relating the loss of the Louisa Henrietta,
1 think no time ought to be lost in arquaiiiiiug
you with the circumstance. The brig sailed front
Majorca 9n the 17th of May, with a cargo of
brandy, wine, and oil, either for this place or
England ; after she got about two leagues from
land, two boats came towards her with Spanish
colours : when they came within pistol shot they
fired a gun, hoisted French colours, and immedi-
ately boarded her. lam sorry to say that poor
Captain Howard, Mr. Clark, Chief Mate, and
two men were killed—the second Mate, five men,
and three boys, got in the boat, and made for the
shore, leaving Mrs. Howard and a boy on board.
They kept up a heavy fire on the boat,and wound-
ed the second Mate in the arm, and a boy through
' the body, who expired in a few minutes after they
had landed. I shall send you the men's declara-
tions as soon as I can get them translated into
English. The vessel, I expect, will be carried
into Algiers. I shall make every inquiry con-
cerning Mrs. Howard, and let you know. I also
find that Capt. Howard had a quantity of mosey
in specie on board, also a number of bank notes."
On Sunday, arrived at Plymouth, a Greek ves-
sel from Crete, the first of that nation ever in that
port. The crew arc little ugly, diminutive, swar-
thy-looking fellows, and Aire one no idc of a
Greek seaman in the days of Homer.
