From tlic public ipirit lately difplnyed by the 

 inhabitants ot Carlillc, in conjunftion with the 

 noblemen and gentlemen of the countv, chat 

 city is likely to become as handfomc as any 

 other place ot' the I'.ime lize in the kingdom. 

 " Notwithftandint;, (lays the Cavlifle Journal,) 

 there is ^et one im;)roveinent wanted, uliich, 

 if adopted, would rcpfkr an immcofe benciit 

 to the «hole ncighbourhcud j and this is,— a 

 fair for the M^: o( fat cattle and fliepp, which 

 we would recommend to be continued every 

 fortnight thvouijhout the year, and that pre- 

 miums bs given, durJPg the firft year, to 

 thpfe perfons who flioiild bring tlie greateft 

 number of fat cattle to mark. t, — to be divi- 

 ded into three fl<i'.Ves. In.:epondent of the 

 advantages rvfuUitig tVom the plan to the 

 ^.ity and neighbourhood, as \\e are fituated in 

 the ctntrc of a fmc grazing and ai;ricultural 

 country, the lair would be numcroufly atlcnd- 

 ^•d by peilons from Maiichelter, Liverpool, 

 yVliJcchavcn, and other populous towns, who 

 now arc under the nccdlily of being put to 

 great cxpence and trouble in travelling 

 amoiigil the feeders for v'ie purchafe cf fat 

 cattle. Such an inftitution, to^t.lining fo ma- 

 ny natural advajitagcs, needs only to be be- 

 jiun, and we h;ive no dou'ot the lubfcriptiors 

 raifcd would foon be adequate to the pur- 

 pofe."
