Our Fair commenced on Monday.

Many have been obliged to hire private honfes at a very exorbitant rent, while others have been compelled to return without an axopportunity of thewing their goods. The molt i i O tu nable Rands are thole erofted oppolite the Angel Inn, many of which are emblazoned with the names of the molt dating milliners and jewel- i len from Bond.ftreet, Bath, Brighton, blancher. ter, Birmingham, Sheffield, Norwich, Salifbnry, Canibridge, ate.

Barnard and North, filverfmiths, in Lombard-tireet, directly oppofite to White Hart Court. Mr. B. was !landing behind the counter, whit the man made directly up to him, and pre renting a piftol to his head, demanded his money. Mr. B. though greatly alarmed, atked him the meaning of his criminal conduit ? On which the villain replied, he would have no trifling; money he wanted, and money he would have. He theri drew towards the door, keeping his arm extended, and the piftol direaed againft Mr. Barnard ; and having looked out at the door, inttantly turned round and repeated his demand, threatening if Mr. B. delayed for a moment, he would blow his brains out. Mr. B. faid, he had no money to give, and would not be robbed, at the fame time he fprung forward to feize the thief, on which the villain fired the pittol, and ran nut of the (hop. Fortu nately the bullet mitred Mr. B. and buried itself in the wainfcot. A hue and cry was immediately raifed ; he was purfued and taken in St. Clement's lane, the. pittol still in his hand. O n b e i ng f e i zed, he attempted to draw another piftol from his pocket ; but being fuddenly pinioned by the mob who furrounded him, it went off in his pocket, doing no harm. He then pulled out a knife. and would have deftroyed himfelf, or any one about him, had he not been completely overpowered by the perfons who held him. Before he could be got to the Poultry Compeer, his drefs was com pletely torn from his body, his efforts to get away being fo violent. When taken into the prifon, he affected madnefs, and played his part fo inimitably well, that the keeper was obliged to put a firaight waiftcoat on him to keep him from doing himfelf harm. Notwithftanding this coercion, he fill con tinued raving in the molt extravagant way ; he withal, he laid, to deftroy himfelf ; be had Ihot the faireft creature on earth ; but the was falfe to him, and he would exift no longer; betides other remarks equally romantic, to induce a belief of infanity. He is fuppofed to be the fame man, who, a few days fince, went into a merchant's counting.houfe, in Idol-lane, and robbed a Gen tleman fitting there ; prefenting a piftol to the party, and accompanying his demand with fimilar threats to thole he made ufe of on Saturday. He is a middle-aged man, decently decked, and about five feet fix inches high. 4 t_ 7 -
