THE EASTER FAIRS.

Yesterday the usual held at this season
commenced at Greenwich, Stepney, Wandsworth,
Chalk Farm, the Chalk-road, Islington, and Brook-
green, Hammersmith. Richardt.Ws (now Nelson
Lee's), Algar's Crown and AncEbr, and a host of
minor candidates for histrionic and Terpsichorean
fame, occupied their usual positions at Greenwich,
which was thronged during the day with countless
thousands from the metropolis. Stepney, the next
in magnitude, was also well attended, and the others
received a proportionate share of public favour; the
whole of them being under the control of the police,
aho caused the amusements to terminate precisely at
eleven.

WRESTLING AT THE BRECKNOCK ARMS,

C A .11DE N- TO T l'N.

Yesterday being Easter Monday, the proprietor
of the above premises threw them open, according to
annual custom, for the display of the Cornwall and
Devon wrestling, and offered a silver tankard, cup,
and snuff-box tor competition, as Ist, 23, and 3d
izes. The wrrstling was in the Cornish style,
without shoes. We should mention, that a man to
gain the fall must throw his opponent on two
shoulderz and a pin, i. e. hip, or two pins and a,
shoulder, and that every wrestler to become a
" standard," or entitled to wrestle the second time
over, must throw his first antagonist, and either fairly
" grass" the second, or " play" him for ten minutes.
The following men, after some severe bouts, were
ranked as standards :—Partridge, of Devon, Clarke,
of Cornwall, Gager, Ball, and Dassett, also of Corn-
wall, and Tongood, Kemp, and Snell, of Devon. The
play will be resumed to-morrow at two o'clock. It
is expected that Sayer and Ellicomb, provincial stars,
will enter, and if matched against the elite of the
London wrestlers, will make the result a matter of
pleasing uncertainty-. Messrs. Oliver and Steers
were the umpires, and the sports gave satisfaction to
a large assembly.

THE WEST INDIA MAIL-STEAMER
TWEED.
The announcement of the reported loss of another of
the Wkst India mail-packets, which reached London on
Sunday from Havre rid Southampton, and appeared in
this journal of yesterday, caused great excitement in the
City ; and anxious inquiries ware made during the day
at the company's office, in Moorgate-street, with a view
to ascertain whether any authentic information had been
received by the directors on the subject. To these in-
quiries but one reply was given, vin, that the directors
had received no official information of the wreck, the
only intelligence forwarded to the office being a abort
note from their agent at Southampton, and an extract
from the Havre paper, the latter containing no facts
beyond those published yesterday.
The Southampton agent wrote as follows :—" By the
Culpe steamer, just arrived from Llavre, an American
account has come of the loss of the Tweed. They say
she struck on the Alacranes, and went to pieces almost
immediately, or. the 12th of February—that 60 persons
were lost ; but beyond this I am unable to obtain any
particulars relative to this very unfortunate report,
which, I trust, may be without foundation."
The hope expressed in the last sentence of the South-
at.ipton agent's letter is shared, it is right to say, by
several of the directors, but the prevailing impression, it
mast be added, among parties competent to judge is, that
the account received v;c2 Havre is too circumstantial in
its details to be untrue in fact. Moreover, the locality
where the wreck is alleged to have taken place agrees
so exactly with the supposed position of the ship at the
date quoted, that little, if any doubt, is entertained of
her loss.
The frightful loss of life described to have taken
place—no le::s than GO p: rsons—tuay, pei hips, lead to
an iniires,i,ll that ma' y pusseugets have been lost in
slip. '1 his leer will he in a groat degrie set at rest

' ;3,eqlu-,,hp C•anpAny, to the eff.,;:t. that when the Tweed
left Urc.na.:iu, her startiw.,, point. on the present voyage,
she had but seven pas..itngers on board for Vera Crus.

'These were— •
Mr. Pric', or the firm of Manning, Mackintosh, and
Co., of Vera Cruz.
Mr. Ellice, nephew of Hassell Ellice, Esq., the East
India director.
Mr. Ynchausti.
Mr. Forias.
Mr. Fontecha.
Mr. G. Le Charlier.
Mr. Iplo%u.ssit b,ll.
It is 0
passengers may have booked from
Jamaica and the Havannah for Vera Cruz, in which
event they would, of course, be on board when the
alleged wreck took place ; but it is not considered pro-
bable that any had s;) booked.
The Alacranes, on which the ship is supposed to ',eve
struck, is a dangerous coral reef, about 400 miles from
the Havannah, and about 70 from the coast of Yucatan.
It is c-msiderell by navigators the most dangerous part
of the Gulf of Mexico, the currents beinl so capricious
and powerful in that region as frequently to carry vessels
upwards of 40 miles out of their course in one day.
The Tweed was due at Southampton to morrow.

latives of persnns supposed to be on board the Tweed,
