BURY FAIR.

Mow famed is Bury Fair throughout the comity, and even
in more distant pasts of the kingdom, we need not at this
time say. It is sot to the exhibition of .hows—or the accts..
relation of merchandise—nor in any of the continuo amuse-
ments or graver pursuits of • fair, that we owe the resort
hither of • largor untidier of fashlomables thou will be found
Collected its any other place of its magnitude; but it is by
the assemblies, whkh from the high 'respectability of the
neighbourhood prove so attractive, that our streets are ordi-
narily tilled with splendid equipages, sad the apace be-
tween two row, of booths is thronged by families of
rask and title and distinction. It was therefore not with.
out reason that the first hall of the preseut year, on Wed-
nesday last, having but a doses visitors, threw a damp over
public expectation', and made every use seasible that there
is nothing which the preuare of Ma tines does sot •frect.
Very little company enteied the town on the fullowiug day,
and even during the greater part of Friday there was little to
remind as that the fair had yet begun; it was, therefore, •
matter of considerable satisfaction to find that the number
at the ball that evening was oboist 440, which, though nearly
200 less than last year, was within' 100 of the common aver.
age. The dresses were not km splendid than ust,l—
pearls, ostrich feathers, and the most costly ma-
Serials of apparel were dispta)ed in great profusion.

HINTS TO THE UNMARRIED.—TO those persons
who intend In he married by banns, the following
hints linty convey useful information :—Wlien the
parties reside in different pariehes, and et affirmance
from each other. as also from their ministers, they
may rare themselves some inconvenience by making
before the nearest magistrate, and then delivesing
without delay to the minister of each church or cha-
pel. the •ffinavit or affidavits which the new Act
requires before the banns of matrimony can be
published. This plan of proceeding will render it
unnecessary for the parties to leave their homes and
their work, and to travel several miles for the pur-
pose of appearing personally before both, or even
before either of the perish minister,. until they go
to be married. Anti, by thus making such affida-
vit or affidavits before a magistrate, the parties.
whether hiving in different parishes, or in the same
parish, will save themselves from soy liability to an
eareme of balf-s•crorru stoop for every affidavit.
