Wednesday West-End Fair terminated forthis sa-
lon, having continued- for three days. During thi
-day, but particularly in the evening, every avenue
leading from the metropolis to this rural scene of hi.
larity was crowned with the young and the old, the
rich and the poor, in curricles, tandems, di/GM-pan/4
taxed carts, and waggons covered with boughs, in
which the merry, unsophisticated children of nature
sat, crammed, rammed, and jammed, like figs in a
grocer's jar, munching their gingerbread cakes, and
chaunting ballads, not
Made to their mistresses eye-brow,"
but highly expressive of coarse love, and an uncheck-
ed spirit of jollification.--At the entrance of this ce-
lebrated Fair, the eye of the gazer was entranced by
the noted Mr. Saunders, and his equestrian troop, an-
. noencing a poney race, for the especial entertain-
ment of the vulgar, and why should not the vulgar I
be entertained ?

I In another corner was the immense booth of the
inimitable Mr. Gyngell ; on the platform of which,
he, the great principal, condescended to strut in full
plumage, looking as terrific as Hector, whenle shook
his blood-stained lance to defy the hosts of Greece!
—On his left side, three Graces from Tothilftelds
amused the spectators with anhumble imitation ofrhe
Highland Fling ; while Paris, disguised' as a Scara-
mouch, danced attendance upon this peerless group,
and, ever and arm, regaled them with genera and
mutton pies, as the rector and ambrosia of Olympus
could nothe vended at West End, without a permit
from the Exciseman, as they are contraband articles
of traffic, and not comprehended in the statute.
This gala was decorated with toy-booths, ginger-
hread-stalls, and temporary eallerde ; where the swain
botfght a true-lover's-knot for his Delia; the children
a gilt alphabet, which they tint admired and then ,
devoured: while the thirsty visitants retired under the
; awning of the. moveable tavern, and drank the health
I of the PRINCE REGENT in WHITBREAD'S entire !
In the front of a puppet-show, where they were to
dramatize the sad late of Jane Shore, by the aid of
some wooden Comedians, (no extraordinary charge.
ters either), sat a veteran monkey, alluring his. jocund
brethren in the mob beneath hien, with apt antics, not
unworthy of—himself !
In another part stood a fellow blowing a trumpet,l
as dissonant as !Mimes, to signify that the delights
of the microcosm were just going. to be represented
Ito an astonished world, for the small consideration of
la penny each, where they would, incontinently, see
the Emperor of Russia on his charger, andßonaparte
I in the suds--Cupid and Hymen getting tipsy at the
Horns in Doctors' Commons; and the full Moon
I laughing over the British Metropolis !
Thus wonder succeeded wonder, and joy succeed-
ed all, until the shades of night gave the cue for a
general departure, when the motley, but exhilirated,
crew returned to their homes in peace:
" blest home, which all greet with a visage so comely,
" For Lome still is home, be it ever so homely..
It was said, that the Lady of the Manor would
have suppressed this innezious scene. of humble fill
city, but we cannot believe the charge to be true, as
nothing can be more absurd, in the administration of
local authority, than to check those felicities in the
poor, which have no direct tendency to the violation
of social order. Whenever the privileges of custom
are abridged by power, it should nr,t be done without
a very strong justifiable cause to wart-int the measur e. '
