THE APPROACHING BARTHOLO

MEW FMT2.

Oa Saturday the Markets Committee sat at Guild-
hall, for the purpose, principally, of taking into conside-
ration matters having reference to Bartholomew Fair,
which will commence under circumstances very different
indeed from those which have hitherto attended the
aunuaf return of the Smithfield scene of disorder. The
strongest instance that can be given to show tnat 138"
tholomew Fair is upon its last legs is, that neither
Wombwell nor any other great wild-beast proPtie,W
has applied to the Committee for ground on vsibieloo
erect menageries, for the two days to which the four
days have been cut down, by vinue of the ancient authe;
rity produced by the City Solicitor, limiting the fairkt
that wholesome duration. In consequence, it is ue.

Applications were made for ground for the erecti°,,

The fair will close at ten o'clock on Saturday I),lcibe
according to the regulations of the Committee, and the
City Police have received directions to watch all, t.ti
avenues and public-houses in Smithfield and its Vie°
in the most scrupulous manner. der
It may be here proper to state that the force under
the direction of Mr. Harvey, the City Police C°113113.,11-3:
sinner, have become, by the excellence of the reg;
tions, and the judicious conduct of the su
and inspectors, extremely efficient. On Friday let
when Prince Albert visited Guildhall for the PurPapici
of receiving the freedom of the City, nothing Le°,-be
exceed the order, regularity, and tact with wbl° vs
tnen performed their duties, particularly in those Pter
in which there were vast assemblages of people ef/:
to see the great object of interest. There was one
house in the more eastern part of the City where ":
