This day's supply of Beasts, Lambs, and Calves, was moderately good: the supply of Sheep and Porkers, rather limited. Trade was, with prime small Beef and Mutton, somewhat brisk; with Beef and Mutton of middling and inferior quality, as also Lamb, Veal, and Pork, dull at Friday's quotations. About a third of the Beasts were shorthorns, chiefly from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire; and the remaining two-thirds about equal numbers of Herefords, Devons, Welsh runts, Scots and Irish Beasts, with a few Town's-end Cows, Sussex Beasts, &c., chiefly from the abovementioned, and others of our northern and midland districts; with a few from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Kent, Sussex, Surrey, our western districts, and the London marshes. Full three-fifths of the Sheep were new Leicesters, of the South Down and whitefaced crosses; about one-fifth South Dowos, and the remaining fifth about equal uumbers of old Leicesters, Keuts, and Kentish halfbreds, and polled Norfolks, with a few pens of horned Norfolks, Dorsets, and Somersets, horned and polled Scotch and Welsh Sheep, &c.

"Sir, I have long been subject to the Gout, and had, about seven months ago, a severe attack for a period of five weeks. My feet, hands, and knees, were swollen so much that I was frequently confined to my bed, when I fortunately heard of your Blair's Pills, and, by taking three doses only, I was able to put ou my clothes without assistance; and, by continuing them for a few days, all pain and swelling subsided. On Thursday last, the 6th instant, I was again attacked, and obliged to cut the shoe from my right foot, but resorting mediate relief, and by taking only eight pills to Blair's Pills, as before, I experienced im (four doses), have now put my regular shoe on, and am perfectly free from this painful disease.

[Price 1s. 2d. should certainly be put; when the old Cotton-Lord was told this (Cotton-Lord become 'Squire), he resisted the arguments used upon the occasion; and, when told that his son could do nothing in Parliament, his answer was, that "neither could Cobbett do any thing," and that he had a right to endeavour to raise his family in the world. This was the sort of language of Dr. CROMPTON, of RUSHTON, and of all those who had pretended to entertain so strong a desire to see me in Parliament. I, on my part, was quite convinced, that the enterprise of the Woods was a mere matter of pounds, shillings, and pence, and that the seat was intended to be converted into a fat place of some sort or other. Now, I will re-state, with regard to the facts, that which I have stated before, but, not so much in detail. Boll-court, 13. September, 1833.
