A YELLOW DVVARI4.

A miniature personage, named ./joy, who mi.
nisters to.the genius of curiosity at Bartholomew
Fair, as " the most wonderfullest Dwat f as ever
was seen in these here Regions, to (IT astonish.
ment of all beholders,!' was brought up yesterday
on a charge of firing a pistol at a boy, and slightly
wounding him, on Saturday last. The circum-
stances were shortly there :—The Lillrp.ttttun rx.as
exhibiting. himself at the fair as a natural cario-
sity, and endeavouring to raise, by the display of
his minikin person, those supplies which the sta-
ture of a grenadier, or the strength of a cyclopa,
would hardly.procure for him .by industrious 'la-
bour. The boy, who was the accuser, not hav-
ing the ways and. means to obtain a legitimate
view of the defendant, contrived to cut a hole
yt his his penknife through the wainscoting of the
booth, and was taking a solicitous peep at the
object, when the dwarf, conceiving this viival
intrusion as an encroachment on his •property,
fired a pistol, loaded only with powder and wail
ding, at the hole, and slightly wounded- the
young curioso. The father of the boy, who at-
tended, stated, that as his child was not seriously
bort, and as the defendant bail made satis!actory
reparation, he was not dispOsed to plosecnte.—
The defendant was therefore discharged.

ACCIDENT.--About two o'clock yesterriJy af-
ternoon, a fine boy, 14 yeats of age, was riding
a high-mettled horse opposite,Wells's livery s+a-
blcsl, Blackftiars-road, when the animal taking
fright at something, set of at full speed!, and the
boy, not being able to manage him, till off, and
the horse kicked at him with both his bind feet
and fractured his scull, and broke hi, arm ami
several of his ribs. lie was curried into his fa-
Ibet's shop, who keeps an rating-house near
Christ-church, opposite which the occident iiap-
ptned—a snrgenn.was sent for, but he died shortly
after. lie was the only child, of his parents,
whose distress for his loss can be more easily hue-
gined than described.
Bartholomew Fjir was yesterday crowded to
excess, and the pickpockets carried oti their de-
preLtions. with ahcrity. One t)f diem bad tie
cruelty to tear a necklace from the neck of an in.
Nut 13 months old in. its mother's atm.. Ihe
