wines were of a good quality. After the cloth
was removed, Non- obis D Online was: performed,
and the Mayor then rose and gave " The health
of our Royal Sovereign George IV. and may he
long continue to reign over a -loyal, faithful, and
independent people,"- which was drank with

o'clock', and was succeeded by Courtney Stacey,
Esq. The party, did. not break up till a late

STEPNEY Fala.-7-Yoterday a great many in-
fo'rmations were received at Worship-street Office,
of robberies committed upon individuals who had
the imprudence .to. go to _this fair, which com-
menced on Monday. • It appeared that at a late
hour a mob of -no less than 50 went through the
fair knocking do.w n every person, male and female-
indiscriminately, taking watches, shawls, &c.
without. the least dread or intimidation. The
Police.were:on the alert; and.got also.ill- treated.
This daring gang perambulated White Horse-
lane, Whitecha,pel, and all the principal thorough-
fares. In White Horse-lane a gentleman named
Bartlet,. his,wife, and two daughters were mal-
treated and robbed ; a young man named, Pinchet
was knocked down,. his coat, his watch, and his
bat, taken from him. In Hare-street-fields, a-
gentleman named Lee, walking with his wife and
children, were assailed, and robbed of their
money, &c., and. some persons who took their.,
part were very. mach beaten. • The Police and a
strong body of special constables were, ordered
out.. Many of the ruffians are :well known to the
officers ; they •are stated to be principally from
the Borough, -and,-no doubt, but in a. few days

they will be taken.. The Police of this district
were extremely active,
.and apprehended several
suspicious fellows, who.. will'.be fully examined
on a future day:
Quadrattere of the Circle.-7.-The following sim-
ple ,rnethod„of solving this hitherto unanswered
-problem
.has been discovered-by Mr. A. C. Lurrn-
MAN,. Ifereford a sphere be made; like-
wise a perfect hollow cube, one of the internal
sides,of which-mast be equal to the diameter of
the sphere-: then let a sphere be placed in the
hollow cube, and pour water, into the Vacant
space around the sphere until thewater is exactly
level with the edge of the cube, and consequently
with the top-of the sphere; :after which, take
the sphere carefully-out, and measure.the
portion which: the depth of-water left- in the -cube
bears
.to' the vacant space; lately occupied:by. the
sphere; deduct the quantityof space occupied by the
water from the:entire space contained by the .cube,
and the remainder will be the solid contents of the
sphere. In order to find the proportion between
the circle and the superficial :.sqintre,. let a,cylin-
der be made:of the same diaineter as the sphere
above-mentioned, and. equal in height to one .of
the internal sides of- the cube ; place the • cylin-
der in the cube,• pour water around it until the.
water is level with the -edge of• the -cube,, then
carefully take out the• cylinder,• find the- propor-
tions as previously directed- for The .sphere, and
as the proportion of- -the'cylinder - iF to the cube,
so will the proportion of the circle he to the
square."
