PETERSFIELD.
PETERSFIELD HEATH FAIR—A splendid morning ushered in the day for the coming fair, which, from the beginning to the end, turned out to be one of the best for business and pleasure since its establishment, some thirty odd years ago. About 6,000 sheep were penned, and the trade, in comparison with the late fairs, was dull, but the difference in prices from last year in good sheep was 3s. per head in favour of the present. A large show of Devons was exhibited (in fact the Devons ruled entirely the show), and not a black bullock alter the colour. There was a great number sold; prices about the same as last year. The trade commenced slow, but a great number were sold before the close of the fair. The majority of the beasts were sold, the best being disposed of to Samuel Seward, Esq., of Weston, and Mr. John Berry, of Steep, when, from our previous knowledge, we know that ample justice will be done to the bullocks bought. The pleasure fair was never better attended, as to company and standings, but the shows were of a rather low grade.
