Haileham Market. on Wednesday, was well attended by
butchers, and tolerably well supplied with beef, which went
off pretty briakly, at from 3s. to 3s. 81 per stone . Mutton
and Lamb were short of what this market usually exhibits.
and nearly the whole (band purchasers, at rather advanced
prier's. •
Yaeworrn, September ll.—We bed a fair supply of
wheat for the season, bat, from the Oneness of the wea-
ther, scarcely a sale could be male, even at a redaction of
ss. to 6. pet quarter. Some new wheat made 44r.,per qr.

Wheat fell Bs. per triarter, at Salisbury Market, ma
Tuesday, and Bread one penny per gallon ; —it is oust'
at 17.1. there.
Deems. September I2.—There were a great many sam-
ples of new Wheat exhibited to-day, hut their quality was
not equal to those of la•t year. (Aid Wheats may be yetted
fall Is. tfr sack under the prices itf last week, and sales
heavy. %Are are still scantily supptied with Barley.
• The average price of Wheat at Sauthautpton market, en
Saturday, was la per load.
Stalbridge Fair (Dorset) on Thursday, um thinly at-
tended ; the show both of sheep and ca•tle was unLtil, at:.l
the prit•es declining ; superior beasts did not average tours
than 7s. but. per scare. Few liar,.aitts were made in Bit-
ter; the prices of which continue steady ut about 9s, .
per dozen.
At Utmeeter cheese fair, on Mon lay se'nnight, pibia
dairies sold from 55 to GOs. Some prime feiclie I * little
, more money, hut little coloured was alien it.
Our Fair on Tuesday and Weileestlay WAI lint thinly snr-
plied. Fat sheep sob' readily
.at 4id to 5.1 per lb. Stares
sold rather better thao laa t fair. Fat cattle fetched 410
per lb Stores better than last fair. Pigs were aisa
better. There was but a small supply of butter and cheese

(Slirews&ury Citron.)
At Horringer Fair (near Bury) on Thars.lav, the show
of lambs was greater than ever leinemberetl, the number -):
hurdles set being about Si) dozen mare thui usual. Eat Ir
in the morning there was a Isralc sale. and use heard of
6d. beiug obtained for a lot or two ; hut as the day got n
the general apprehensima fur the turnip crop, in conjane.
lien with the largeness of the supply, oticasiamal a great .
dulness, and perhaps a declined Is Ip-tow the prices at-
Ipswich. Even at these terms a great ntlather r ere unsold.
The fine weather of the past week has shawn what had al-
ready been observed by some persons, that the turrdl's have
been attatked by a maggot, which has in many instances .
destroyed the -tap root; mai the tops over very large—
tracts are curling up and withering in an extraordinary
mtnner.
The supply of cattle at Camelforil fair, on Saturday last,
WAS rather scanty, and but little business was dour: the
sales effected were at a reduction in prices below those
lately obtained
The fair at Endellion, on Tuesday. was not fully. attend-
ed ; the thew of fat sheep was very good-t-ilie majority of
the sales effected were at about 41d. per lb.—Fat cattle
hrouglit about 40s. per cwt.
At Helstun fair on Tuesday, the shew of cattle was con-
siderable, but the demand was not great, and the prices ob-
tained were lower than those lately quitted.
At the fair at 'l'avistock, on Weanesday, there was a
very good shew of cattle; bat the demand did not equal
the supply, and the best kinds scarcely brought 40s. pet
cwt.
The corn of all kinds coming into this market is
but vet!, limited, and we can quote no alteration in pric,m
for some days back. The grain offered for sale is in gen:-
ral of good quality, but the Oats fall and tine without ea-
ception, almost without precedent. The weather is as flee
u could be wished for lay the most sanguine, and is likely
to continue so to all appearances.—(Clueniel Advertiser.)
The fair of Ennis, on Wednesday se'naight, was motvited
to excess with men and cattle. There was a good deal of.
business done, and particularly in the sale of heiSers au 1
other young 'cattle, but at !ow prices. However, let it be
remembered, that "low prices" is a relative term - that the
cause of high, or, as we would call them, war prices,has loner
ceased to exist, and that the cause ceasing, the effect uiu.t
also cease.
VAIRS.—At Cirencester New Sheep Fair, on Mouday
last, upwards Of 6,000 sheep were penned, nearly the whole
of which were sold at advanced prices.
On Tuesday last, at Carmarthen fair, there was a good
show of horned cattle, and muny were sold at very low
prices. Young horses at rather an advance, and many
were sold. , .

DREADFUL OUTRAGE COMMITTCD Di IRISHAIEN.—OIt
the afternoon of Tuesday last, Charles Orton, a b..y about
12 years of age, son of Air. Orton, a butcher, residing in
Spon-street, in this City, wrot with two other boys into &
field near this City to catch a horse ; some Irishmen, with.
whom this part of the country is now infested, acre sitting.
in a ditch ; one of the boys called out to them " Pat," at•
which they were so much enraged, that two of them imme-
diately seized the bey absve mentioned, who was upon tit*
horse, dragged him off, threw him shown. kneeled upon ; u.l.
beat hits, grasped his thrust with great viol-tare. and on,
of them covered his mouth with his hand to prevent liiat
making any alarm, awl the other took frornsisiaa4;. key. Not
satisfied with being revenged upon this nnfoitunate buy.
