(ruRTIIER. PARTICULARS.)
WA-rear-ORn, JUNE 23.—You will have heard of the ac-
cident the noble pair met with. The real facts of thb
circumstances are these. The Noble Marquis last week pur-
chased a splendid pair of greys. On Saturday evening, ac-
companied by the Marchioness, he was driving about his mag.
nificent park, when suddenly the horses became restive,
and bounded down a hill; the carriage and horses were
upset, the Marchioness dashed with most frightful
violence against a tree; her head was severely injured, her
chest cut, her left side and hip bruised. The Marquis (who
was driving) escaped comparatively unhurt. The Marchioness
was conveyed in a litter to Curraghmore House, front whence
messengers were at once dispatched to Portlaw, Carrick-on-
Suir, and Waterford, for medical aid. Two medical gentlemen
were speedily in attendance. Dr. Briscoe, of Waterford, ar-
rived in a short time,,and remained in constant attendance on
the Noble sufferers. Dr. B. arrived at Curraghmore in one
hour and five minutes, the distance being upwards of twelve
miles, and a very hilly road.
The Marchioness remained speechless during the nigh.., but
was rather better during the day. On Monday sh° was con-
sidered again better, but yet in a very preearins state. This
day (Tuesday) she continues to amends though still in a
dangerous way, her medical attendar;s do not despair of her
recovery.
The Noble Marquis is quite inconsolable. His mind is in a
most distressed state. He 'nas received no bodily injury.
The carriage and ho'.ses were very much injured. One of
the horses had to be shot ; his ribs were broken, his legs se-
verely hurt, and he

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—Signor Puzzi was
on Thursday honoured with very brilliantpatronage. One of Ros-
sini's finest operas was compressed into one act, and entrusted
to Persiani, Ronconi, Rubini. Lablache, and Guasco. Puzsi's
own solo on the horn, and his " Fra poco," together with Thal-
berg's fantasia, kindled the admiration they have commanded
every where. The most rapturous applause attended Rubini's
"Tu vedrai la tventura," and the curtain fell over it in
immense acclamations. Alma, with its splendid decorations,
rich dresse
dresses, and its graceful Daughter of Fire, wound up the
entertainments.

FAIRLOP FAlR.—Yesterday being the first Friday in
July, the far-famed fair of Fairlop was held. As the origin of
the fair, and the ceremony of proclamation, is not generally
known, the following account may not be uninteresting. The
lair appears to have ari-en from one Daniel Day, a block-
maker, taking his men annually to Epping forest for a day's
amusement; and on one occasion, Queen Elizabeth being pre-
sent, and having a " lop," or branch, off the famous large oak
presented to her, at once granted a fair, which was legalised
upon certain conditions, one of which is, that the block-makera
and shipwrights should go in vessels rigged and manned, and
there ride round the limits of the fair. This is done at the
present day ; two miniature first-raters being placed on ear-
iages, which are drawn by horses gaily dressed out, and filled
with men, and accompanied by bands of music ; ard on arriving
on the ground, they ride round three times singing some dog-
grel rhyme, of which (alluding to the royal promise)—
" she viewed the tree from bottom to top,
And said a fair shall be held for this Fair-lop."
They then drink to the memory of Daniel Day, and the cere-
mony is complete. The fairis very thinly attended with
booths, &c., as by the suppression of the Sunday fair the
keepers have lost for the last two or three years.
It appears not to be generally known, that livery
stable-keepers are liable to have soldiers billeted upon them.
The 58th clause of the Mutiny Act enacts, that " all provi-
siona for billeting officers and soldiers in "victualling-houses shall
extend and apply to all inns, livery-stables, alehouses, and to
the houses of sellers of wine by retail, whether British or Fo-
reign, to be cenousaid on the premises," 4c.
