Yerierday this annual exhihiti t 7 commeet•l—g
About hair pall eleven o'clock, the Lord Mayor and
Sheriffs, in nate, It ,pped at Mr Newm.or.! to•rice; in
The bon( of Newga,e, where hi. Lori)(hip and the
Sheriffs were regaled. aceirding t.) ancient nt'aze,

(1011, an., the Matlhals mounted. lit forward tosi:l-ils
Smithfield, and having at,aitie I Cloth Fair, the F. f•
tival and Fair ~f Sr. Rauh lornew were proclaimeit
with the cuitomary this and cerernotiei.
We have repeatedly a.te-opted to deli-Jibe the I,i-
elect's borll of difcordant funds which break forth
the ingant the proclamatii.o is made, deel iriog the
Fair open. A, pr dent it is enough for n, to Hare,
that in print of mite, jar, and din, it was not fur.
paired by any antecedent occafion.
In the courfe ((Mir perambulation, we (.1)111 ved
an itinerant anClioneer, m.annted on a fmall table,
with a ha of wa•es at hi, feer. To pr vet) the
crowd that he was no impokr. he produced a pedlat's
licence from S. metier tiolife, and proceeded t.' dif.
pole of his goods, which expel ienced a rapid rale.—
The firll articles he held up ere a brace of ra7a.rs,
which he defer ibed as " delishifid" inilruments. He
of that they had been made at ";ml7/ulia, in
Spain, feven miles under ground, by the lig& of a
diamond ! They potrefred betides, tut': fingular ad-
vantages ; they went as frnooth aver the face ai a
!nail over a cabbage kg, and if a gentleman would put
one of them undtr his pillow, on his g ing to bed, he
would find himfeltfiavedin the morning ! Hi. table
knives he averred to he alfo of Spanilh manufacture.
Like the broad (words of the celebrated Amortise
FERRARA, they had been tempered in the river Ebro,
and would cut through a marrow bone without turn-
ing the edge !
In the courfe of the afiernotn, this Hero of the
Hammer put up a pair of leather breeches. A coal
beaver, in the crowd, laid he w, u'd boy them if he
thought they would fit him. " Fir you (cried Rol-
trum), if they don't fit you you (hall have them for a
penny !" After a (hors deliberation, the mob took
the audioneer at his word, a penny was handed up,
and the coal heaver was uncafed, and the cnntem•
plated purchafe tried on. After divers efforts the
breeches were pulled up to Celt' fler middle, but
there they would not button, and it was alfo difcn.
acted that they were too mums') at the knees. The
coal heaver wa. then twilled on the (boulders of his
friends, in order to convince Roth= that he was
fairly entitled to the fmall clothes. To this plea,
however, the auulioneer demurred, Rating that the
breeches had been made for a gentleman rt ordinary
Nature, and not for Inch a CoVar as now had them
on. He att.) all:tried that had he been aware of the
giant hie firature of the coalman, he &Add not have
been fo raft as to offer the breeches on filch termr.—
A volt tumult enfued, both parties being equally
bent on their °Nett, and at length it was agreed that
, the matter ((mild, to morrow morning, be referred
to the decilion of the Court of Pied Pouelre.

The proclamation read by the Lord Mayor, on
the opening of Bartholomew Fair, orders all perlons
to life lawful weights and meafures, to tell wht,letnme
proviEnins, and keep the peace. All a••reits f r detits
&c. are forbidden, and every nerfi.n h 4ving caufe

fhals and a number of Corulables were flatiuned at
the Ram Inn, to keep the peace.

COURT OF PIED POLIDE It, SEPT 3 —Nothing very
material came before the Court this day. The only
cafe was that of an affault, in which a very decent
looking young woman was charged with affaultin4
one of the performers at a principal Theatre. It ap
peared that the young woman, conceiving that th :
was entitled to the freedom of the theatre, was enter
ing the pit without paying, when the performer, w n
made the complain!, and who was &died for t
part of King Henry the Fply. 'lopped her, nn which
the knocked the crown off his head. and aflually
forced her way in.—F-r this fpeeies t f offence, toe
Hemaje ordered her to make fubmitli ,o the iheatri•
cal monarch, which ihe did, and was cliff/tilled.

The Court of Piepoudre (curia tedii pu'verifati) is
Paid to be to called from the dolly leer of the foitors,
or, according to Sir Edward G ke (. 1011. 272), be-
eaufe jultice is there done as Ipeedily as dolt can fa 1
from the foal. But the etymology given us by a
learned modern writer (Bartingt..o's Obfervat. cn
the Stat.) is much mote ingenkus and f.vi.taetory, it
being derived, according to him, from Pied pu.Vreaux
(a pedlar, in old Freno), and therefore lignit)ing
the Court of fuch petty chapmcn as refrut to fails or
markets. It is a court of record incident to every
fair and market, cf which the Reward of him uhn
owns or has the toll of the market is the judge : and
its jurifdiflion extends to adminiller it:nice for all
commercial injuries dare on that very fair or market
and not in any preceding one. So that the injury
mill be done, complained of, heard, and determined,
within the compafs of one anti the fame day, sutlers
the fair continue longer. The Court hrs cognizauce
of all matters of contra° that can podibly wife with.
in the precinet of thin fair or mar ket, and Ihe Plaintiff'
mutt make oath that the canfe ( f aetion arofe these
(Stat. 17 Ed. c. ii) It r ught to be generally
known, that from this Court a grit of error lies in the
nature of an appeal to the Courts at Weliminlier,
which are now alto bound, by Oat. 19, Geo. 111. c.
70, to due writs of execution, in aid of its proceis
after judgment, where the rerfon or effeits of the
Defendant arc not within the litoits of this infetiot
juritdidion.

Yefe►day fr'nr•ight, a fine flout girl, about twelve
years of age, was killed in a back yard, near the tall

LETTER TR',AI A NAVAL PrTICFR IN THS MEDITER•

RANEAN, TO HIS FATHER IN LONDON.
His ?Oskar* Sloop Redwing, Auguß 5, 1807.

DEAR FATHER,
I take this opp, rtnnity of the packet going to
England, of letting you know that I am well. A
few days after I j fined this brig, we faw two fail
under the Spanifil land; we immediately made all
fail in chace, and about eleven o'clock came to an
anchor in a place called Sandy Bay. The flrar.ge
fails proving to be two Spanifh privateers, they fired
a few Phut, which went over U' : we returned their
compliment very fhortly : one of the privateers then
run agrour,d, the other run up a river, and anchored
at the back of a fmall village : it being ebb tide, fhe
alto-wards got aground. The Scout and Redwing
immediately armed their boats, and lent them to
hoard—after boarding one of them, and finding it
impoffille to get her off,fet fire to her—the Spaniards
alhore kept firing now and then from behind the hills.
After that they landed and burnt the other privateer,
ant two 01 three merchantmen, and took poffeffion of
a (mall village, when tlse Spaniards reit. sled behind
the hills. About rive o'clock our boats returned,
after having burnt two privateers, and two or three
merchantmen. Had it been high water, we fhould
not have burnt them, but have taken the privateers
and fix or fevers other merchantmen.
A few days after that we detained an Imperial
fhip, of which I was fent prize matter ; but unfortu-
nately I Ming fight of the brig, I was taken by the
gun boats and carried into Spain, and made a pri
loner of war—they took us into Algefiras—l law
General Cafianio, Governor of Algefiras: he fent
for me, and told me that he would fend me to Gib.
raltar the next r. orning, which he did—he fent me
over in a flag of truce.
I was at Algefiras five or fix days, on account of
the veffel being in quarantine. After was out of
quarantine, I went on fhore, and lived at the agent
of prifoners—he behaved very civil to me, and fent
one of his let yams to thew me the town—l don't
think any great things of it ; it is only a tea port
town ; the poor people live in a wretched condition,
they have only a (Mall hovel, like a pig fty, for a fa-
mily of eight or twelve. I law feveral of ttie children
playing quite naked. The rich people live in an ele-
gant manner.
We have join got convoy under our care going to
the fleet off Cadiz. I don't know where we Mall be
Rationed next, as we are ordered off our old 'Whin
for doing fo much mifchief to the Spaniards. The
Spanith Governor laid, that if we remained on the
Ration, that he would flop all communication with
the Rock—the Rock is chiefly lupplied with provi
sns from them.
The Saturn ran aground off Cape Trafalgar—fhe-
was Athol e near five hours : the got off again, and
went to Gihraltar—the was hove down there—her
bo•tom is fo much damaged, that the will be obliged
to go to England.

When apprehended by the police officer, who himfelf

In this, however, he was dilappointed, the book
