PAC/ MONDAY.—The old custom of ushering in
Pack Monday by the blowing of horns was ob.
served with unusual energy and spirit this year.
The polies received orders to try to put a stop to it,
but alter the remarks which fell from the benoh last
week, these orders were not carried out, and the at•
tempt to put down horn blowing_ turned out a signal
failure. Where there used to be one horn, there
were this year twenty, a number of friends to
out custom having provided the boys with horns,
gratie. The boys evinced their gratitude by making
a nightly perambulation in procession, on five or six
evenings instead of one, and as soon as Monday began
the usual nocturnal procession of horns, tin.kottles,
and other dulcet instruments started, under the
guardianship of SOON specials, who were paid to go
round with the boys and see that no mischief was
done. The fair thus heralded turned out after all
one of the poorest within our memory., owing to the
holding of Bridport, Waybill, and other fairs. There
were stalls in abundance, but no shows, swinge,
round horses, "Cheap Jacks," or "legitimate drama."
On the wielo it was an exceedingly Hat and profitless
affair.
" Tire Swum. Mon."—On Monday evening, Mr.
Superintenlent Lewis received intimation of a felony
having beet committed by persons supposed to be
connected with the Bristol swell mob. He at once
instituted Reactive search, the result of which was
that three min and a woman were apprehended at
the Black Hose Inn, and two others who evidently
belong to the sang, were shortly afterwards appre•
handed near tie Tewnliall. On Tuesday they were
brought before the magistrates, when they gave their
name, OA John pnith,l3.heffield; Thomas Mahone,
Southampton; itlivard Clark, Nottingham • Samuel
Godfrey, Manehoter ; George Hearn, ; and
Pluabe Clark, Natingharn. On being queitioned,
the women said ale was with to 'Edward Clark; but
subsequently aekrewledged that she only lived with
him, which subject,' her to be kept in custody. Mr.
Superintendent Louis than applied for &remand till
after the fair, in ord.r that he might collect evidence
which he believed wtuld implicate the prisoners in
the felony. The pri:icer Godfrey than applied that
their hearing should ould take place on Thursday,
but Mr, Lew leashed a Bench to extend the remand
till Saturday. Hearn said he thought it was very
herd, as the police had sot no evidenee against him
or the woman, that the should be kept in custody.
Godfrey then asked Mr. Lewis whether he could not
collect all the evidence In required by Thursday' and
was answered in the negative. He then applied for
come money, but the nttgletratea considered that
they hail no power to glvriun the money found on
the prisoners for the potent, and a remand was
granted till Saturday. —James haw., of Marn
