A painting, nhich had been for some 

 years at a broker's shop in Lewes for sn\c, 

 w;is lateiy purchased by Mr. Dunn, of the 

 Star-iiin, who piiid a guinea for it, and 

 caused it to be lun;^ up to cover a blanl; 

 space on one of his staircases. In this 

 situation the piciuie was seen by a con- 

 noisseur, wro purcli.iicd it of the landlord 

 for 15 guinea^; and he is said to have 

 since disposed of it for 700! This picture, 

 which is accuiinied one of the best pird'.ic- 

 tions of the pencil oi Rubens, or of his 

 equally eminent di>ciple, V'.inclyke, is the 

 portrait of a lady of a noble inglish family, 

 and litT two children, in the costume of 

 the middle'' of the ijth century; and, al- 

 tliough it has of lale years been througli a 

 vai'iety of haiids, and sold by some a: so 



low a price as four or five shillings, it is in 

 a good stale of preservation. 



The annual Fair for the sale of Wool' 

 was latelv held at Lewes, and was well 

 at'endcd by numbers of the most respect- 

 able tvool-ftiplers from London, and by 

 the principal farmers of the eastern division 

 of the county. At diniie.c, Lord Sheffield, 

 the worthy fouivler of thi» fair, presided. 

 After the cloih was '.vithdraivn. Lord Shef- 

 fiild rose, a .d stated that he had been at 

 considerable pains, to ccllect most recent 

 and authentic information on the present 

 supply, demand, and prices tf wool ;n dif- 

 ferent parts of the kingdom, and recom- 

 mended a deputation oi twelve wool-grow- 

 ers piesent to be named by the comp.iny, 

 who should retire to inspect and con>ider 

 the inforina'ion above alluded to, and re- 

 port their opinion of what ought in fair- 

 ness to b? the prices that day asked by 

 the wool -growers for their wool. Soon 

 after the d.|uifatioii had retired, Lord .Shef- 

 field proceeded to malre several cominuni- 

 cations to the coinpany respecting the 

 growth of fine wool in Engl.ind ; he ob- 

 served, that it was no.v well known, that 

 the fleeces of Spa lish or Merino sheep \rere 

 not debased in quality by the English cli- 

 mate, a^ had been satisfac'orilv proved by 

 Dr. Parry. »nd Mr. ToUett, iliai the im- 

 poita'ion if Spanis'i wool was liacom* un- 

 certain, and the price greatly enhanced; 

 that the qi amity import' d in iSoo was 

 up v;ird3 ot )<,o}<-,ooolb; in iSe; it had de- 

 clined to 4,7 o.ooclb. but hid again riser* 

 in 1814 to upuards of 7,c. o,ocjoil>. ; and 

 in the course of the present year the im- 

 portation had been considerably short of the 

 last in theconesp. iiding iiiontlis. Ii might, 

 therefore, his i.ordship observed, answ»r 

 to the wool-growers to cross their .South- 

 Down ewes with Spanish rams, especially 

 as the sha; e ot those introduced by his 

 Majesty from Spain, was so superior to 

 theiMenncs whuh had been brought bv in- 

 dividuals into this country about tw»nty 

 years ago. That Mr. lolleti, who had 

 sheep from his Maesty's flock, had sold 

 their wool at 6s. 41! per ib. wi-.en brought 

 to the state of iniiorted Spanish wool, and 

 that he had sold his Heeces enure at 4s. jd. 

 per lb. His Loidship added, that, in a po- 

 litical point ot view, it was highly de- 

 sirable to save the large sums which were 

 paid to fuieigners lor «ool ; the value 

 of .spaiiisli wi.ol, rated at tiie custom-house 

 price of 3s. Od. per lb. amounted to up- 

 wards ot 6-o,cool. per ami. He concluded 

 by observing, thai the increased price 

 withi.i a few years h..3 proinoted the im- 

 provements of the quality ot the English 

 wool, and said, " that nothing but a j^ood 

 prae could make it wortli the while of the 

 grower !o aiiend to the quality raiher 

 than to the quantity of the wool." Lord 

 Shefiitld tead the report of the deputaiion, 

 which staled the prices at 2s. 6d. ;o 2s. yd. 

 ))er Ib. and remarked, that Die greater part 

 of these prices were below what bouth- 

 down wool had sold for oui of the county. 

 The selling then commenced, and much 

 business was done at zs. ftd. to is. Hd.
