BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. 
A new and very important application of 
canals has lately been made in this country, 
under the direction of the Marquis ef 
BucxrnGcuam. He propofes that in future 
cattle and fheep be conveyed to the London 
‘markets, by means of the Grand Junétion 
Canal, inftead of being driven as heretofore. 
The firft experiment was made upon the prize 
bullock belonging to Mr. Weftear,, which, 
with feveral other fine fat oxen and fheep, 
have been fafely and commodioufly conveyed 
to London inbarges They were put on board 
at Wendover, on Tuefday the roth, and they 
arrived at the Grand Junétion Canal Waart, 
mear Elackfriars Briage, gn Thurfday the 
2th.. Whe diftance of Wendover from Lon- 
don, by the high road, is 35 miles, and by the 
canal 603 it is obvious, therefore, that thefe 
cattie arrived in London, free from any fa- 
tigue, in two-thirds, or one half of the time 
which would have been taken up in driving 
them by land. The expence is alio reduced 
in an equal or greater proportion. 
Mr. Weftear’s bullock, al'uded to in the 
foregoing paragraph, obtained the price of one 
hundred guineas at Smithfield ; and he after- 
wards fold it for another hundred. It weighed 
three hundred ftone, of .eight pounds; was 
eight feet eleven inches long ; fix feet feven 
inches high, and_ten feet four inches round 
the girth, : 
At the quarter feffions held at Aylefbury, 
Mr. Thomas Bartams, an opulent farmer, 
was convicted of regrating, by buying twenty- 
four quaiters anda half of oats in Olney 
market, and felling them again in the fame 
market at fix pence per quartey profit: he 
was fentenced to be imprifoned fourteen days, 
and pay a fine of zool.
