CAMBERWrIL FAIR.

There is no place in the neighbourhood of the metropot,
where things in general are better regulated than here:
though a few of the light-fingered gentry will now and
then pop in, and mar the innocent pleasantries of the fair.
ing folks, by extracting their " fining funds" from cut
their pockets and purses, still there is less of that deter.
mined whit of plunder to be met here than at other places
of the same description. l'he amusements this year bare
been numerous and various ; a company of actors, equal
to Polonines standard of excellence, trod the stage io
" buskin'il ancle," to the great delight of the Candienrell
fair audience ; the great young giant paid his respects to
the little old gapers : Punch and his merry family woo
ax merry as ever, and elicited an ample harvest of applause;
a petite Menagerie, in which were some unique holimaft,
was also exhibited ; but the principal attraction, at lean
with all the maidenish part of the community, wasa smart
handsome young fortune-teller, who talked of futurity....
IVith so eha-ming an air
That this sorcerer ne'er was in want of a fare."

This formed a new divertisement in the varying scents of s
metropolitan fair. The young girls freely exchangtd that
shillings and sixpences for a peep into the book of futurity,
and so bright was the prospect offered to their delighted
dons by the agreeable fortune-teller, that not one eetoplain-
ed of their lot in perspective.
