BAsTuoLoatzw FAlR.—Yesterday afternoon the heavy
storm of thunder, lightning, and rain, proved extrstady prodtabte to
the numerous show.bootha and public-houses, in the neighbourhood of
Bartholomew fair, by persons crowding in for shelter from the storm
but the utmost confusion prevailed outside from the hundreds of per.
sou rushing ont of the fair, and the blackguards, as usual, took 'dun-
sage of the commotion, and several females were thrown down in the
mud, and many were deprived of their property, as well as having
their clothes torn.

Yesterday evening, Police Serjeant Shacklock, of the
G division, was informed that a gang of reputed thieves and pickpoc.
kets had a gambling table in Wm.-Street, Smithfield, at which seve.
ral persons, who were simple or curious enough either to play or to
look on at the ware robbed of their money, pocket handkerchiefs,
& eh e. and, his dress by putting off his uniform, he proceeded
to the spot in be. As soon as he could make his way to the ta.
bin through the crowd, he pulled a bilk:own out of his pocket, and
was about to lay it down as a stake on the game, when a fellow on the
opposite side of the table dexterously snatched it out of his hand, and
a general bustle succeeding, be shortly effected his escape. Serjeant
Shackloek immediately seised the man who owned the table, and was
dragging him away to the watchbouse, when the cry of " rescue" was
raised, and the serjeant was struck down, and his hat knocked off.
At this moment one of the gang, a powerful looking fellow, with a large
stick in his hand, rushed forward, and adoring the scejeent to let the
prisoner loose, struck him a violent blow on the with the stick, and
repeating it, the serjeant reeled and fell on the ground almost senseless.
His head was severely injured. The whole party then lied, for Shackle&
was alone, and could procure no assistance at the time ; but a Mr. Bey.
ant, a gentleman residing in John-street, Mackiklars.road, who witnessed
the transaction, followed the niffiati who desperately assaulted the sec.
jeant until he saw him, in company with several others, go into a
public.bouep in Long.lane, and then returning, he accidentally met the
serjeant, and told him, where his assailant was to be found, but advised
him to procure assistance to take him into custody. The serpent im.
med y appled to Ave or six of the City Police, whom he met in the
fair, to accompany him, telling them the circumstances, but they so-
ftball as go, or to take upon themselves any trouble in the matter. He
then proceeded to the Compeer, accompanied by Mr. Bryant, sad
having seen one of the weethem, and informed him of what had oc-
can4 that officer promptly modsred him the assistance he requited i a
perry Odle pate were &spMthed to the publio.house, bat it was then
too lab, for the fellows had gone of in the mesa thus.
