-Morning Post.

WHIT-MONDAY.

The weather commenced very unpropitiously for the
holiday folks on Monday, and threw a damper on the festivi-
ties of Whitsuntide. Great was the despondency of the
people until noon, when it began to clear up, and the after-
noon turning out fine, and the lads and lasses in their sum-
mer gear began to make the best of their way to Greenwich,
Stepney, Wandsworth, and other fairs and places. It is
fortunate that there is more than one fair at Whitsuntide,
for the population of the capital is now become so great, and
so many thousands are determined on amusement and to
forget the cares of life at this season of the year, that Green-
wich would not be able to hold all the pleasure-seekers.
There were the usual bustle and confusion at the various
piers and landing-places, and the number of steamers in re-
quisition amounted to 115. Of these, 26 were employed
in conveying passengers to Greenwich, calling at the
Tunnel-pier, and the Limehouse• hole pier, to land
passengers for Stepney fair, and take up others for
Greenwich and Wandsworth. There were twenty
steamers plying between Gravesend and London.
They were all well-freighted with excursion parties. There
was a tremendous bustle at the pier at Greenwich, where
steamer after steamer arrived in rapid succession, and fortu-
nate was it thatt he threatened removal of the Watermen's
floating pier, by the Lord Mayor's orders, had not been car-
ried into effect. The fair has been shorn of some of its prin-
cipal attractions, but Richardson's large theatrical booth and
Alger's canvass temple, are still the leading curiosities of the
place. There was the usual entertainment at Richardson's
theatre, a melodrama, with a ghost and blue fire in the last
scene, a comic song, and a pantomime, performed with amaz-
ing speed in twenty-five minutes; clean sawdust in the pit,
and new deal beards for the boxes. Alger's dancing-
booth advertised the Polka, which the visitors danced
in the " ball-room " with great vigour. On each side
of the principal roadway was a long array of gilt gin-
gerbread. and .spice nut-stalls, from which numerous well-
dressed females importuned the visitors to taste and try,
and they seemed to drive a profitable trade. Owing to
the rain which fell so copiously in the morning, the Park
was comparatively deserted, and the usual amusements and
gambols there, except for an hour or two in the after-
noon, were dispensed with. At eight o'clock the rain began
to fall again, and drove the people into the houses of public
entertainment. The Royal Hospital, the asylum of our
brave seamen who have fought their country's battles, afforded
shelter and recreation for great numbers during the day, and

the average
The
of a Whit-Monday, which may be accounted for by the
unfavourable weather and the rival fair at Stepney. It is
computed by those best able to judge of the thing, that the
steamers, the railway, and the coaches brought down about
75,000 persons from London and its environs, and that the
expenditure in the town would not amount to less than 15,0001.
up to the close of the fair, independent of the sums paid to
the railway and steam-boat companies for conveyance to and
from the place. The steam-boats were, as usual, overcrowded.
We did.not hear of a single material accident, and the police
arrangements, under the control of the superintendent of the
It division, and Mr. Fisher, the High Constable, gave much
satisfaction.

Stepney fair is well laid out. The principal field
contains innumerable swings, ups-and-downs, merry-go-
rounds, Peterson's and Johnsen's theatres, the representatives
of the legitimate drama. At the former a " Romantic Melo-
drama," and at the other a " Fairy Tale of Enchantment,"
were dished up to admiring audiences every 20 minutes. The
appearance of Hylton's and Wombwell's menageries, with
their large and gaudy paintings of the various animals exhi •
bited within, reminded the spectators of Bartholomew Fair
in the olden time. Some minor exhibitions, including two
strapping boxers, who gave exhibitions of the art of self-
defence, a miniature " Ducrow's Circus," Wilson's theatre,
learned pigs, conjurors, tumblers, and puppet-shows, occupy
the rest of the field. The field was lighted up by a brilliant
jet of gas at sun-set. In another field, behind the Prince of
Wales Tavern, the veteran Clarke, an old stager at Bartho-
lomew Fair, with his stud of horses and equestrian company,
has erected a large circus; and in another part of the field is
the Crown and Anchor booth. Its ball-roem is upwards of
250 feet in length, and the whole affair was lighted up with
30,000 variegated lamps in the evening, when some hundreds
were dancing, who seemed to bid adieu to dull care for the
night. The police arrangements were excellent, and they
preserved a sufficient space between the rows of swings to
ensure the safety of the people. The stalls extended some
distance from the two fields. The public-houses were
crammed with merry customers.
There was not a single charge brought before Mr Broderip
at the. r4'hanses,-Police-court, which adjoins the fair, during
the day.
