THE FIELD 
Thing, a shepherd, woe sentenced to fourteen days’ impri- 
sonment, for misbehaviour in the service of James Ward, 
Esq , of Haughley. Tho defendant had been ordered to 
place some hurdles so as to prevent the sheep jumping 
through ; this he neglected to do, whereby twenty-four of 
the sheep got through the gap, jumped down into the ditch, 
and were suffocated. Thev were fine breeding ewes, and 
could not have been worth Jess than £50. 
Wholes a i. k Shbep-Stbalinq in the Forest of Dean.— 
In the Forest of Dean there are extensive sheep-walks ; but 
the crime of sheep stealing has of late become of so whole- 
sale a character that, unless vigorous measures are taken for 
its speedy repression, these sheep-walks will be abandoned 
by the breeders. Among the most recent instances of large 
sheep robberies may be mentioned those of Mr. John Wat- 
kins, of the Speech House, who has had upwards of fifty 
sheep stolen ; Mr. John James, of Pillawell, West Dean, 
who, out of a flock of 1 50 sheep, at Moseley Green, has had 
100 recently stolen; Mr. Thomas Priest, of Breen, placed 
out a large flock of ewes for breeding, which have been, 
with the exception of twenty-one, all stolen ; and Mr. John 
Priest, of tho same portion of the forest, who, out of a 
flock of 23S ewes, in the open forest, has had them all stolen 
but one. The owners have shown great negligence in look- 
ing after their flocks, aud this, with the laxity of the labour- 
ers in the forest, who, considering the sheep as forest-bred, 
have allowed them, without inquiry, to be taken and driven 
off by a large aud organised band of sheep-stealers, who 
have sold them boldly at the markets at a short distance, 
lms greatly facilitated this system of wholesale plunder.

“ Four thousand three hundred men arrived on the 10th, 
with ammunition. A brisk cannonade has been kept up for 
the last two days. The enemy has made some vigorous 
sorties on our own and on the English lines. They were 
driven back by our musketry, and in some instances at the 
point of the bayonet, after a fierce resistance.”

THE MARKETS.

MARK LANE. 
Monday — Our market was fairly supplied with English wheat f 
Essex and Kent, and there was a good deal offering for deliver r ° n ' 
rail. The boisterous state of the weather continues to retard for 7 
arrivals. Factors commenced by asking considerably enhanced rate” 
and ended, as usual in such cases, in being unable to maintain 
ndvanco reported on Friday last ; and the trade in Mark-lane n | 
dull at that day's advance. Flour underwent no change. Harley '

Almshouses in Newland, Worcestershire. — The late 
Earl of Beauchamp bequeathed £60,000 for the erectiouand 
endowment of almshouses at Newlaud, iu Worcestershire, 
for the benefit of infirm agricultural labourers. Nearly two 
years having expired since the decease of the late lord, the 
poor of that county are anxiously expecting the executors 
and trustees of the charity to fulfil the intentions of the 
testator speedily, the laud having been granted for this 
purposo a twelvemonth ago, by a deed of conveyance, 
according to the legal forms, which whs enrolled ‘in the 
Court of Chancery. 
1 here WAS _ bece ‘' tly at the horse-market, Boulevard de 
l'Hopital, au instance of a horse which had lost au ear 
having been supplied with one in caoutchouc.— Oalignani. 
Gai.is on Horses. — “ To cure galls on horses, take whis- 
key, and add as much pulverised alum as it will dissolve • 
with this bathe the parts affected. I have known the very 
worst ..f galls healed in this way, aud the horse kept in con- 
stant use. I ever resort to this remedy, carrying it with 
mo wherever I journey, aud continue its use with un- 
diminishcd approval. I apply no other remedy. When a 
horse has been put out for the winter, and has not been 
used, his breast and back get very tender ; a single hour’s 
use then, on a hot day, will scald his breast so as to cause 
senous injury. My uniform practice, therefore, has been 
for a week or so before beginning to use the harness, to 
hardenrthe breast and back by bathing them regularly two 
or three times a day. No injury has then resulted from 
the application of the collar.”

Monday. The funds ruled at n decline of f per cent., owing to the

SMITHFIELD. 
Monday — The supply of beasts was small, and in consequence 
although many of the butchers were supplied for Christmas, the best 
qualities made very nearly as much as on Monday last. Trade was 
slow, and on the average must be quoted worse. We had a fair supply 
of slieep; choice qualities were in demand, at fully lute rates. Good 
calves were not plentiful, and in a few instances better prices were 
obtained. From Germany and Holland there were 760 beasts 1 750 
sheep, and 80 calves ; Scotland, 220 liens ts ; Norfolk and Suffolk, 9oo- 
and 1,000 from the Northern ond Midland Counties.

ever, scarcely any change took place. We were very scantily supplied" 
with sheep, which move off slowly, at barely late rates. Calves— the 
number of which wns limited— were dull at Monday's currency fig. 
commanded very little attention, on lower terms. 
COUNTRY’ CATTLE. 
Debdy Suithfield, Tuesday.— This market was seasonably well sup 
plied, and numerously attended by our town and county butchers and 
others surrounding 113. The general quality of the stock exhibited was 
well suited for Christmas consumption. Some superior animal, were 
exhibited, and many of the regular cattle dealers, and our own 
graziers, produced stock in the market that was universally admire! 
for its real useful qualities. The prices obtained did not much exceed 
what wg have regularly quoted. Beef, from Gd. to 7ld. per lb ;
