Agricultural Sales and Markets: A few days ago, a very important sale of shorthorn cattle, &c., took place at the seat of Mr. Pinsent, Greenhill, Devonshire, who was compelled to relinquish an admirably conducted farm in consequence of indisposition. A number of breeders from all parts of the country were present, for instance, and the cattle fetched high prices. For instance, a splendid cow, six months gone in calf, named “Gay Lass,” fetched 75 guineas, and was purchased by a gentleman of Ashburton. A yearling heifer of the above animal was sold at 20 £., and other prime beasts fetched similar high prices.
