YORKSHIRE. 
The great fair for horses at Howden in 
Yorkshire is just over, where good horses of 
all descriptions, whether for harness, hunting, 
or the road, sold at high prices. Good colts 
were scarce and sold well. Horses adapted 
for the cavalry and artillery services were im 
great demand, and the prices for those of that 
description experienced a considerable advance. 
This, which is indisputably the largest fair 
for horses in the kingdom, commences an- 
nually on the 25th of September, and conti- 
nues till the Sd of October, being attended hy 
all the principal dealers from London, Edin- 
burgh, and from several of the great towns in 
the different counties cf England. During 
every night of the time above-mentioned, 
there are not less than two thousand horses 
in the stables af the respective innkeepers, 
and Yhose sent out to grass. The stables of 
the public houses in the adjacent villages to 
the extent of ten miles round Howden, are 
also completely full, so that it may fairly be 
estimated that not less than four thousand 
horses are every day exposed to sale; and 
Supposing that this number js renewed. only 
four times during those ten days, which is a 
very moderate calculation, it follows that 
about sixteen thousand horses are disposed of 
at this fair, worth together not Jess.than two 
hundred thousand pounds. 
in ploughing a field at-Flaxton, near 
Lobster House, between York and Malton, a 
lead box was lately turned up which con- 
tained about 300 small Saxon silver coins, in 
high preservation, some silver sings, and 
pieces @f spurs. The box appeared to have 
been before struck by the plough,. as it was 
somewhat broken, and it is supposed that in 
consequence, purt of its cqntents had heen dis- 
persed. bas Y
