The Proprietor, flattered by the Success which has attended his ex-
tion s ,has determined to give TWO DAYS' FETE on a more ex-
ended Scale than has ever before been witnessed. In announcing a
SYLVAN FETE,
The Proprietor's aim will be directed to enable the Subscribers,
obility, Gentry and the Public, to witness those RUSTIC SPORTS
which are nearly obsolete, but the observance of which procured for
this eountry the title of " Berrie England," and which, in the Olden
Time, constituted the principal Amusements of a country fair !
The peculiar y English sports of the May-pole with its Morris dan-
cers, Friar Tuck, Maid Marian, Pipe and Tabor, &c., will be ex-
hibited.

" The May-pole is up, now give me the cup,
I'll drink to the garlands around it."—HERRICK.
A display of the noble science of ARCHERY will take place by
the Members of the foxopholite Clubs, in their Forest Costume.
The science of ArchJry, but for the manly and spirit-stirring efforts
of the Archery Clubs, would soon become a " Tale of by-gone Days,"
co-existent with Robin Hood and His Merry Men, when in Sherwood
Forest they drew " The cloth-yard shaft," and the welkin rang with
" the shouts of the foresters bold."
" Hail to our leader, brave Robin Hood,
For a noble marksman and forester good."
A decorated Pavilion will be erected for the use of the competitors.
The magnificent modelled representation of EDINBURGH, the
chef d'oeuvre of the scenic art, and the Unequalled Menagerie will be
exhibited.
The manly and athletic games of Quarter-staff and Single-stick
will he displayed. Also the laughable and most amusing scene of
a (-angling Match, and the ludicrous game of Jumping in Sacks,
a Grotesque Dance by two traiited animals of the Establishment, in
imitation of the Modern Polka, will be introduced..,
The never-tiring and always amusing FLINCH will exhibit his
mirth-inspiring antics and drolleries. He will afterwards become
arial,• and exhibit his, tricks in another element.
Two encampments 01 Real Gypsies will gratify the believers In
the Occult Science, to whom " The Book of Fate will be Open."
" The hawthorn hush, with seats beneath the shade,
For talking age and whispering lovers made."—GOLDS3IITII.
A Recruiting Party from the Tower will attend.
" None but the brave deserve the fair."
Tents and Stalls, with the usual Commodities of a Fair, will be
provided.
The Splendid Band of the Royal Artillery will enliven the scene;
and in the PROMENADE CONCERTS, by the Unrivalled Band of
the Establishment, the most popular selections will be performed—
for which see Bills of the Day.
The Rock Harmonicon, by the Messrs. Harrison, will be heard at
interintervals during the day, and the Fete will conclude with the Royal
vals
Tableau, fifty-two feet high, in the centre of the lake, con-
sisting of Transparencies, Illuminations, Devices, &c., and the most
brilliant display of Fireworks ever witnessed !
Admission, One Shilling.—Doors open at One.
The various Games will take place on an elevated Stage, and an
immense Gallery will be appropriated to witness them.
The opening of the Fete will be announced by a Royal Salute.

OVERTURNING 05' A SHIP AND NARROW ESCAPE
OF THE CREW.—On Friday morning the brig Flirt wasgoing
down the river with reefed topsails and foresail set, when she
was overtaken in Woolwich reach by a sudden squall of wind
and rain from the south-west, and being very light, and with
no ballast on board, was blown over on her larboard side, and
Legan to fill. The master of the vessel and his crew got on to
the rigging, and thence to the hull. The brig was fast gbing
down in deep water, and the destruction of all hands appeared
inevitable, when the Waterman, No. 11, on her way to Lop-
eon, made her way towards the sinking vessel, and upon coming
alongside her keel was visible about two feet above the water.
Mr. Leonard, an inspector of Thames police, and his boat's
crew, came up at the same time, and having rescued the cap-
tain and crew, put them on board the Waterman. A warp was
then run out from the steamer, and the Flirt was towed by the
Waterman into shallow water, and she settled down immedi-
ately afterwards.
