Several Police Officers attended on Thursday and yesterday,
at Brook-Green,to prevent the usual Fair from being held there,
and in which they succeeded without any disturbance, though a
number of persons had assembled to enjoy their annual scene of
harmless amusement.

Thursday, as a loaded timber-waggon was passing through
Broad-street, St. Giles's, some boys at play ran out of George-
street, two of whom came in contact with the waggon, and the
wheel going over them, killed one on the spot, and injured the
other so severely, that his recovery is hopeless.
A melancholy accident took place on Tuesday last, at Finches
Colliery, in the parish of Westbromwich. Between eight and
'nine o clock on that morning eight persons were at work in one
of the pits, when a large quantity of coals, at least .50 tons weight,
suddenly gave way and fell upon them, by which Thomas Fel-
lows and Thomas Pugh were killed upon the spot, and several of
the other workmen severely injured, but it is hoped not mortally.
Tin Omar &ince ! Yesterday Rachael Ilandcack, a ma-
tronly-looking woman, genteelly dressed, was brought to Hat-
ton-Garden Police Office, charged with predic:itegfature events !
Read, the Officer, stated, that be appiehended the prisoner in
an apartment, handsomely furnished, in Theobald's-road, where
she was living in a luxurious style. lie found therein a pack of
eardi, and a great number of letters from women in genteel life,
both in town and. country ; some complaining. of the t 3 runny,
and others of the infidelity of their husbands ; and also front single
ones, doubting the constancy of their lovers, and mostly con-
cluding with a request that the ktters might be burnt. Amongst
thOm was one front a young female in Princes-street, Cavendish-,
square, inviting her to attend professionally on a party of Ladies,
whom the writer had appointed to meet her on the 56th of Fe-
bruary; and desiring her to take a coach, for which the writer
would pay. There was also some few epistles found front some
of the mate sez.—Sophia, the wife of Mr. J. Winterburn, said,
she paid Mrs. Handcock ls. 6d. to tell her fortune on Tuesday
last, when, after cutting the cards, she told 11:r there was much
happiness in store for her ; and that a friend would shortly'die,
and leave her a store of wealth, and so forth !—As Hand-
cock appeared to have dealt largely in the prophesying line, she
WAS committed for re-examination, in order to give 'vr custo-
ms, an opportunity to came forward, if they cows, to appear
aglinst her.
