SUPPRESSION OF THE SUNDAY FAIR AT SOMERS
Tows,.—Yeeterday the authorities of tit. Pancese, aided by •
powerful body of police, took the initiative with a view to the
abolition of the Somers Town Sunday Marker, or, more pro-
perly speaking, Sunday Fair. The &great and open &an-
day trading in this distriot ha for years been felt sea tho-
roueh disgrace to the pariah; but all the efforts of the clergy,
with the Rev. Themes Dale, the vicar, at their head, of the
local authorities, or the police, have been unavailing hitherto
to effect a remedy. After repeated representations to the
polite authorities, and even the government, the looal authori-
ties, acting on legal advice, and with the promised aid of the
police, determined on seeing if they could not put a stop to
these disgraceful and dialoging proceedings, and as a pre-
liminary step a notice has been posted and distributed
throughout the locality for some weeks, to the effect that "on
end after the 20th day of November next, all bar-
row% trucks, and stalls found in the streets and other public
ways of Senses Town would be mined, and all other °barer
dons to the carriage-ways sod footways would be removed,
sad alder authorised by law would be enforced.—By

of Friday Ism a most destructive melded occurred at the
extensive iron-works of Mown. Gibbs Brothers, Deeptlelde,

seals, which were propelled on all sides with gnat brim
Several of the Iron pillars that supported the roof, the ipria-
