Aldermau S. J. SMITH attended yesterday for the purpose
of iorioirlog into the atenagements respecting Bartho-

Tha prices charged to the 11,0 in-tenors of the booths wort va-
rious. Some paid nothing, van Italf-s-erow is, and from
that rum to a cilia' a. -The swings all paid a guinea each.
Alderman SMITH took occasion to observe, that these
sw lours had of late very Mach increased. Within the last
tom or twelve sears, to his knowledge, such machines were
scarcely ever seen ; but, latterly, the fair had become so
crowded with thou, lhat it was almost impossible for the
foist passenger too walk through the fair witluotit the most

mutly serosous accidents had accrued front this dangerous
mode of amusement—and woolly other sources to which he

doubt would produce a noise' ahle catalogue of personal main_

next person examined by the Worthy Alderman,
was the Steward of Lord Kensingtoto, who stated that his
Lordship received a toll Upon the erection of booths in the
market, in right of his noicestor, Sir Richard Riche, to
whom the privilege was granted by homy VIII. This toll
slid loot amount to more than front 301 to 35/. and only ex.

Extract of a Letter from au Officer on board his
Majesty's slip It'arrier, dated Portsmouth, Sept.
5, 1815 :—" The Warrior, 74 guns, sailed front
Jaiiiititat, ill company with the Electra, guts brig,
and 90 sail of merchantmen, under cotivoy, toi the
10th July. On the ftth of Augitst, at 4p. in. near
the IlJuks of Newfoutat aitil, it la gait to blow hunt
from the S. E., with vet). !lock weather; at a-ipiar-
ter past four ::upped :I heavy set, which carried
away the her (planer had, quarter-ilea gaogway,
acid tOreeastle bulwark, aiso our boats, five in
number, that were stowed tot the booms a-otiti-
s:tip. We then observed a ship nit the lee how,
about out: hundred yards from us. At this mo-
ment we broke our tiller, and carried away our
rudder head, and soon after fell on board the
t.eorge merchantman, of Liverpool, when we lay
sotne tittle beating each other to pieces. The
George's masts were carried away, and our anchor
stew its her shies. In this sinking state the ship's
rompaity, 16 in number, got tut board of us, iti-
clittlitig two children. She then dropt her stem ,
and its a few minutes sunk, with the nia'ster,
man uud a Child. To gut the Warrior berme the
wind, we cut away our iitquii-mast, and hove our
curious s overboard, but it had not the desired o'-
01 ; we then strove to throw overboard part of our
guns, but were linable so to do, owing to the slap
being nearly oil her broadside, and in some degree
vrater-loggetl—we then eta away our mails-mast,
and grit a tiller shipped in the ward-room, when
she righted, %%Inch enabled tis to throw oyes hoard
twelve of our In:MI-sleek guns. At this time Cie
wind chilled to the south-%te:4, and we got her
before it, lint found the hisser deck ports under
water and ten feet and a halts water in the hold—all
halals to the pumps, when we soma gained on her.
At this time the gale, which had lasted for seven
hours, began to moderate, and by two o'clock
a. in. on the 10th tie had nearly freed the
whole from water. Our bell-rooms, powder Hiss-
cazim.s, provision-rooms, and almost every other
place in the interior of the ship got tilled with water
thiriog the gale, which nearly destroyed every thing
thereto,. About forty sail of the consoy, we tinder-
stand, ore dismastetl, tool several foundered during
the gale. We have spoken slaps having on board
the crews of live others."

DEPORT FROM THE HOUSE OF COMMOVE _
THE STATE OF MENDICITY IN TIIC SIETROPO

(Continued from our Paper of Voiterday.)

The Ret•. Win. Gurney'• Examinution continued.
Did they appear to be tier ou:: I believe
they were her own—there was it family likeness.
!late you ►ten that woinan lately ?—I now and
then see kr, perhaps once in a mouth or siN week-;
she gets in debt here and there. and is obliged to
inner about; slie has been down in Kent-street.

Itite you lately seen her beggiug fre-
quently, and the children, they we the great
Ibrguara. I thought if we could have got the
children front her, we could have proenred their
admission into a school, and numbers of my friends
would here subscribed to support the children
decently, and that aright probably have led to
great good. As to the w an, I have several
friends who would have roman' her woak to do,
common plain needle-work, if she had been ih-
cloned to be industrious ; but when 1 futon' the
gin-shop was her resort, I gave it up, being
convinced that nothing could lie door with her but
by main force. While they get halfpence and
pence, the money goes to the giuo.hop; if they
get a sloilizig or eighteen-pence, it goes to the
butcher's. Ties woman is, perhaps, only one of
tidy a hoot I have met with of that particular class.
I have hound among the mendicants that have twin.
eipally tormented we, and as to whom I hate re-
itentl y grieved that I could not relieve them
wheal I have seen they were distressed ; they have
principally been women ; and the general account
they gave of themselves is, either that they are sea-
men's wives, or have been deserted by their hus-
bands, or the wives of poor manufacturers oho have
hail no employment ; I mean such as shoemakers,
tool artizsais who get their brew' when there is a
pretty brisk fiial'', dissolve, probably m gin,
what little money they have gut; and then, per-
haps, when they come to be in debt, they would
work, but call get no employment. They seem to
know every thing which passes in one's mind almost
about beggars: finding I would not see them at
my house, they .used to waylay me ; they Itate
waited at the top of the street in which I lire;
they have drawn hack when I hate come out
at my door; they have given one time to come
out of my own sheet ; and as soon as I got out,
if I turned towards the church, they knew they
should have me there ; and they have been
us• d to conie in and tell their complaints, not to-
gether, but one at a tune ; they have assured ire
that they rend)• were starving. When I fous.d
tovy a ere bosh, which I have io litany instunete,
knew there WAS no use there to the
()terser rs, for that they always sent them away;
they used really to &tee we : But I come to a tle-
termwation that I would not relieve any of them,
unless I first or all sent a person to examine at the
place where they said they lodged, whether they
really were lodging there, and how they behaved
themselves, mod w holier they ever tame home
drunk; and when they found that, they okays
used to?come and lodge in St. Clement'si.lane, in
my palish. There are some houses in that lane,
with ...rely room in the house occupied by these
people, with some of thew three or lour children.
There are inuily houses in that lane which are full
from t p to bottom with persons of that description,
who go about begging in various a aye. There are
seine of the most extraordinary methods used by
these people, in order to obtain money, that can he
conceived of; and they are so numerous, that I
baldly know which to point out. Sonic of them
have u t ertain sum to raise, then they come with
something written; but when they want to get a
little money immediately, they have a sou who has
been on board ship six or seven years, and they find
there is a letter lying for them, but they commit
raise money to pay the postage ; and they expect,
perlhips, a remittance from this sou; this I have
had fifty tunes over ; others will mention a right to
prize-money, but that they cannot, without some
recommendation, get information.
Did you' ever send those persons to get informa-
tion ?—Yes, many times ; but their oliji et was to
get a letter with any name to it, with which pro-
bably in a short time they could get 201. If I have
written to any body in the office of the Toaisiner
of the Navy, whom I knew fur instruction or coun-
sel how they ought to act, reemumendiug the bearer
to this person for any information he could give
upon such poiuts ; if I only said, I beg leave to
recommend the bearer to your notice, they would
paste this upon another sheet of paper, cutting off
the bottom part (and one person was detected iu
doing this) and then they would take the name at
the bottom, and so paste it together, making a km d
of a reconnueodation of this person : knowing oho
