GREEN WICII FAIR.
This popular suburban fair commenced yesterday
in all its pristine glory, with every prsopect of fine
weather, and of a rich harvest fur the "show folks,"
who appear this year to have provided many addi-
tional attractions of an amusing and varied character.
The time-honoured temple of Thespis, of the late
" Muster" Richardson, is reared on its accustomed
site, while Alger's Monstre Pavilion is devoted to the
votaries of Terpsichore ; then there are menageries,
though happily without " Lion Queens," tents fur
equestrian and acrobatic exercises, performances on
and dioramas of California with the tight-rope, slack-wire, &c., with innumerable
panoramas
the " ig-
gins," likewise mechanical exhibitions of the "sea
serpent," which, together with a host of Tom

into the town, the transit to and from the metropolis
being remarkably rapid, and the fares, both per rail
and steamer, exceedingly moderate.
Exclusive of the fair, there are many objects of
interest in Greenwich and its vicinity, not the least
of which is the famed Palace Hospital and the Painted
Hall, with its ceiling, the work of Sir James Thorn-
hill, marble floor, and pictorial walls. The portraits
are placed in seniority of rank, and the historical
paintings ranged according to the date of action.
Here are also statues of these great naval commanders
__Nelson,Powe, Duncan, and St. Vincent. The cu-
rious may be accommodated with an inspection of
Nelson's hat, coat, and silk stockings. At the en-
trance to the park there is the Royal Naval Asylum,
affording accommodation for 800 boys and 200 girls,
the children of seamen of the royal navy. Not far
from the eastern gate, in the garden of the keeper,
stands the venerable oak which has outlived the cele-
brated Fairlop cak. Then there is the Observatory,
built by Charles 11, for Flamstead , the Royal
.As-
tronomer.

to administer religious consolation, but for a long time his

After a while the wretched man demanded a glass of water,
to which some cordial was added, and this appeared to re-
store him a little. He was then removed to a waiting-room,
where the last preparations were made. When the /WS La •
sisted him to walk towards the vehicle which was to convey
him to the barmier, he said_" Thank you? I die like a lamb !
Will God pardon me." He uttered no other words, and on
his way listened to, but apparently without understanding,
the exhortations of? the priest. On arriving at the Barriere
St. Jacques, he had almost entirely lost all consciousness,
and it required two men to carry him to the foot of the scaf-
fold. There he turned to embrace his confessor, but though
supported by the executioners, his weakness was such that
he fell into the Abbe's arms, and almost knocked him clown.
