The weather having been, for some days past,

The enlivening beams of the sun seem to have awak-

by the difference of disposition animating so con-

, Yesterday, Mr. idon, the Serjeant-Trumpiter to
His Metes's', made application (by deputy) to the
sitting Aladiessub..to enforce the payment of Li-
Cense' for playing thimpets, fifes, and drama, in
Bartholomew far, which had been refused by seve-
ral of the perforiners on these instruments. The
Applicant, who has been in the office' for several
years, produced the Royal Charter. by which he
said it would appear it had bees customary, for 700
years. to grant licenses for the exercise of such in-
struments.
Alderman Sults was not certain how far this
privilege could be enforced in the City ; but said, if
such really existed, he should advise him to proceed
in the regular manner, by summoning the parties
before the Court, or in such other mode as might be
deemed proper to pursue.

Yesterday, a publican of the use of Nebmy
was summoned before the • of this Office,
by the Excise Officers of the stria', for hating in
his possession six gallons draspbeety brandf, with-
out permit. The Publican contended, that the
Of had overlooked the cask of brai...fy (which
had been some months ia his milar,) upon a former
survey, and upon the lea examination charged ;it
as new stock. After a keg investigation, however
the Magistrates cenvided- him in the mitigated
penalty of 51. he being represented as a man if
lenertilMfler, and newly set up in that hasinese.
Massa, Jobason, alias Brower, was also summoned
before the Maestrates by the Excise Office, for
vending and manufatturing snap, without having
his rooms and utensils entered with the proper Of-
ficer. according to the At of Parliament. Tli
Defendant not appearing. the Magistrates proceed.'

quence of some information the Olisses had Sie..
ceived, they proceeded to search for the Defend.***
promise% which they found after some diffialty,
and then only by stratagem. Being made acquaint-
ed with his horse and cart, they met them in the
street by chance, and turned the horse loose, when
he brought them to the place thee were in watch
of. Here they discovered a quantity of inferior
kind of snap, lees, tallow, Ste. with a boiler and all
other necessary implements for such .1 manufatiory.

with bustling, the night before. is Bartholomew
fair.
One of the Officers mud. that. according to en-
ders. he wad his brother officers were in the fair the
night before s and having received information that
there were some suspicions persons on the oproisite
side of the fair, they went round, and, in a little
time, observed that there was %general hustle in the
place. The prisoners seemed busily engaged in it ;
and, u they were notorious thievos, they apprehend-_

ed ;hems, and brought has before ttleitaiiihal
soessakted them U the Cooper.
The Loan hi *roe asked the Officers wb
. .

they Wen estetsin the Prisooers had no visible means
of subsieteese land whether they were, in fact, noted
thieves, who had been before in custody t The (..)ffi-
ores answered.tbst taro of them. at all events, answer-
ed that description. and were of ten before in custody
on similar charges ; but, with respell to the third,
they could not speak with so much certainty. In
consequence of this, the Lord Mayor ordered, that
the two men who were known to be such bad chs
rafters should be remanded until Monday. and that
the thitd should be discharged. His Lordship. at
the same tires, recommended him strongly to keep
out of tie fair, and such company as he was Mood
in there.
rargarm, the man who we before stated was
charged on Saturday last with forging absent bonds
and seamen's orders for receiving their prize-
money, with intent to defraud Messts. Jackson and
Co. Navy Agents, was yesterday again brought
up for further examination.
Mr. Smith, a gentleman belonging to the Navy
Pay-office, at Greenwich, identified the Prisoner
as a person to whom he had paid a sum of money,
on a forged order, on account of Juhn Nixon, a
seaman. The Witness further said, that the Pri-
soner represented himself to him as the brother of
John Nison ; and at the foot of the receipt, signed
as his name. Jatoes Moans bvother of John Nixon.
The Loso Morse: said, IYa evidence was
sufficient to commis bin fully for his trial; but, as

the place where the forgery was committed was
out of his jurisdidioa, be could do no more than
order him to be taken to Bow-street.
A genteel young man, named Campbell, was next
brought up, charged with insulting James. Elliot.
in Bartholomew tair, the night before.
The Complainant stated, that in going through
the fair, the Prisoner shoved against him, and, when
he asked him why he did so, be abused him in the
grommet manner, is consequence of which he called
the watch, and gave him in charge.
Mr. Camp4ell, in his defence, said, that the Com-
plainant was drunk, and abusing a woman in the
most scandalous manner. He being near him, told
him it was a shame, and some words an►ing be-
tween them, Mr. Elliot called the watch, and bad
him taken to the Watch-house. When he was
there a few minutes, the Complainant told him he
would not have him detained all night, provided he
sent out for something to drink this Mr. Camp-
bell refisted to do, in consequence of which he was
sent to the Conspter.
The Loan telayoll inquired of the Constable of

not receive a.i ample apology from Mr. Elliot, to
