FAIRLOP Fata.—This day, according to annual • elisions, the block and pomp makers in the vicinity of I. Wrapping, went from %Yapping Old Stairs in boats, . Just on coach carriages, drawn by four horses each, covered with awning*, ornamented with boughs of trees and various flags and streamers, with bands of music, to Fairlop Fair, In flainault Forest, Essex. This fair originally took its rise from the eccentricities of Mr. John Day, formerly of Wapping, block and pump maker, who) fur the greatest part of his life an nually proceeded in that manner to that place, with a select party of his friends, and all bis workmen, and after making procession round the great oak (said to be upwards of MO years oid, and whose venerable branches shaded two acres of ground), were sumptu ously entertained in tents provided for the occasion, and since his death this fair is annually kept without a charter. THN COURT AND FASHIONABLE& . Yesterday at halttast twelve o'clock his Majesty left town in his travelling carriage for Kew, where the Wog spent the day. Thera have been serious internal bickering' relating to his Majesty's tour to the eetttin nt. It will be re collected. that during the King's residence in Her many last year, especially whilst he remained at Han over. be was much iedisposed, and thereby unable to mingle is the " sports and pastimes" of his loving subjects. His Majesty's indisposition was said to he so severe, that a guard was stationed is the Park of the Palace, to prevent the abrupt approach of the po pulace. This was a sad disappointment to the loyal and phlegmatic Hanoverian; but to repair the wound inflicted epos their Whigs, his Majesty gra ciously pledged himself to return thither this sews. and also to continue the route, as originally and ex elusively stated in this paper. A promise had likewise been exacted by Louis XVIII. that Paris should be vi sited en the Monarch's return to England, from 'Vi enna. The Elysee &whoa, first decorated by the tasteful fancy of Napoleon for the occasional residence of Maria Louisa. and since the residence of the Duke nod Duchess of Berry, was most sumpteously re-urn- , banished for the abode of the Royal guest and suite. ' Ye give cm to splendour to this &Aides, an order was issued by the proper authorities here. to Messrs. Cooke and Co. to build three Royal carriages for the occasion, and we believe they now remain in their workshop in an unfinished state. Hovernmeat lino pushed so hard by Parliament on the subject of retrenchment, is, we learn, the cause why Ministers have protested against furnishing the ways and means to enable the continental tour to be pro ceeded in. It would be curious to see the very interesting correspondence which took place be tween the "high contracting parties," and the cownes lions made hv Ministers on other moat important point*, which prevailed in the highestquarter, and induced his Majesty to give up the plan. Ministers then suggested the policy of &journey to Edinburgh, and with unusual haste and precipitancy, even before consent bad fairly been given to their entreaty, by the personage most interested, they dispatched messengers in all directions to the North to prepare for the Royal reception, which orders were as speedily recalled. Thus the Continental tour, and the journey to Edinburgh, 111 1 the authentic particulars of which, with their varia tions and changes, we were the first to give to the public. have at last dwindled down to so aquatic ex- cursien to Portsmouth, round the Isle of Wight, and perchance a peep into the Bay at Weymouth, from thence back again to the coast of Sussex, and. with the exception of an occasional visit to t.be Cottage is Windsor Park, a return towards the close of au tumn with the favoured coterie to enjoy the secluded al banquets at Brighton.

Yesterday afternoon, shoat half-past three o'clock, their Royal Highnesses set out for the seat of the Earl of Estes, at Caahio bsry, Hertfordshire. The Duke of Bedford now appears, by all accounts, to be doing well. The lest intelligence which reach ed town was, that his Grace bad passed a good night, and that the symytoms bad mod d. The attack, it seems, proceeded from a too great determination of blood to the head. His Oraas must have been left very weak, as he lost seventy-two ounces of blood at the first bleeding. He was likewise bled a second time. Dust.—Captain O'Grady and Mr. Jame% Grattan, both Irish County Members, had an affAir of honour lately, in consequence of a political dispute. The for mer was attended by the Hon. John Lowther, as hia second, and the letter by the lion. Charts lloward Butler Clarke. After an exchange of shots the se conds interfered, and the parties shook bands before they left the ground. Madame Catalani was to leave London yesterday for Paris, with her son and his tutor. She will re main in that city for two months, and then proceed to Italy, which she proposes making her future abode.

Several Resolutions were passed respecting the arrestof the fourteen men stated in our set publi cation, the psrport of which was to shew e convic tion which exists in the minds of the chianti, that Ar magh was selected as a place of meeting by the conspirators, under the conviction that they would be least subject to detection here, from the d dly high character the city maintains for loyalty and good conduct ; and to declare that, from official authority, they were enabled 1 state that of the entire number of conspirators there was not one belonging to, or in any degree connected with, the county or city of Armagh.—(Armagh Volunteer of F,iday) INOURRIICTION ACT,—LIMERICK, JUNC 20.—Wed nesday last, M.

TO TER EDITOR OF ME STATESMAN. -- Sia—l was last Saturd■y a witness to one of those frequent mistakes which endanger the health and lives of the public. A young lady in the City-road, at r _ eonsequeoees *flaking her medicine by accidentally turning to the light when about to mix it. She had never seen salts in a powdered state, in which I understand they are frequently sent, and. indeed, chrystalized, might be mistaken for other salts, which lately have proved fatal ; she made an ex clamation, and on inquiry they turned out to be cream of tartar, which would have taken off all the coats of the stomach. As the dose was weighed oat by the master, if her illness or death bad followed, that would have silenced all suspicion, as assurances of correct ness, and having done it s• myself, who sin so parti cularly careful," would not have been wanting, so that " it came of itself " would have been still the regular answer to all questions respecting the disease. Would not keeping a portion of every dose of medi cine a few days be a proper check on the venders ? July 4, L. C. The new Semaphore Signal Station, near the Sally port, Portsmouth, has now commenced working; the line of signal posts being now established between i that port and the Admiralty, by which a message can be conveyed in minutes. The line of communi. ' cation is to be continued on to Plymouth, which has never yet been done. The trial of Mrs. Wright for selling Carlile's publi cations, which was to have come on this day, has been put off to next Monday morning. A Liverpool paper of Tuesday states that some of the labourers who arrived there, last week, from Ireland, were in such a deplorable state of disease that they were obliged, on landing. to be instantly removed to the fever hospital. Yesterday moaning, as one of the Paddington stages wu passing near Dalby-terrace, a boy, about I I years of age, in crossing the end, was struck by the pole of the coach on the head, and killed on.the spot. Boat No.—Tuesday was the day for making an addi tion to the stake money between Randall and Martin, but, as it was anticipated, the match is off, and without a forfeit, from the bungling manner in which the arti cles were drawn op. It was at Spring's house where the parties met, and, to finish, Spring and Randall had a fight, the marks of which the latter bears, and lie ac• cuses Sprink of hitting and kicking when down. The matter is not set at rest, and souse diversion is likely to ensue. Two merry stand-up battles were fought yesterday morning, on the Weald, near Stoke, Bucks. The first was for' 0 guineas, between Josh. Davis and Jock Har ris, two very good bred ones of II stone each. The first two rounds lasted a quarter of an hoar, and the claret flowed in abundance. Davis was thrown in both rounds. 3. Harris received a heavy facer, which darkened one , of his peepers, hot he floored his adversary by a hit in ' the wind, which doubled him up. The 4th, sth, and 6th rounds were fought in distress; bat the men recovered second wind in the 7th round, and turned to for mischief. It was a gallant round in , favour of Davis, who loosened his adversary's jaw. ' 8 and 9. Davis kept the lead, and Harris was blind of an eye, but he floored Davis in both these rounds. lie, however, had no chance afterwards, although he I protracted the fight to the 15th round, when lie was hit , down and was deaf to the call of tirue.-.-Davis won it in , 32 minutes.
