tonity, who used to congregate in inch large force in Nai-
ler" Meetetreet, bat who were ultimately driven out of
that neighbourhood by the City police, after a stout reit-
anos, have now found quarters in a less desirable part of the
town, namely, in Castle-street, lionspaare, just at the *na-
tion of the two parishes of St. Giles'adrthelields, and SC
Martin's-rathe•Fields. At this spot—very far from being
in the fields at present—some hundreds of betting Inca
'rambled yesterday, conpred of all classes, from the ex-
tremely well-droned speculator, to the meanest scamp whe
ever took part in the puma. All of them were provided
with little memorandurabooks, in which they
entered their transactions, and. judging from the ac=l

THE LADY GODIVA PROCICSAION.—The committee
formed for carrying out the proposed Godly* procesairt
at the ensuing Coventry fair, have put forth an acnonacis-
anent, in which they state their intention ea to the
meaner in which the procession will be married out, se
far es concerns the representation of the principal per-
serge. Referring to the objection urged against raising
fonds for a pageant so soon after the appal made to the
marry to alleviate the existing distress, the committee
expire their opinion that if an outlay of 5007. or 3001. will
furnish such an attraction as will canoe 5,000 persons le
visit Coventry, the sum expended by the visitors will hand-
somely repay for such outlay. The committee state that
their object in appealing for pecuniary support is to assist
the city and maintain an ancient custom ; and thajPledge
themselves, in conclusion, that the costume of the4u ores
Galin shall be such as shall not offend the most fastidious
taste.
