NORTHAMPTON, JULY 1.

Boughton Green Fair has been this week attended
with its usual reinue of giants, dwarfs, princes, wild
beasts, pickpockets, and all the various bazaars of
jewellery, haberdashery, hard ware, Tunbridge ware,
gingerbread, and ready-made clothes. There was,
however, a great quantity of merchandise of every de-
scription, a considerable portion of which remained
unsold. The pleasure fair-on Monday was respectably
but not so numerously attended as we have seen it no
former occasions, the extreme beat of the weather pre-
venting many from visiting it. Tuesday produced a
large stew of horses and cattle on the Green. About
12 o'clock on Tuesday night a :irons party of nearly
50 of the lowest class of prigs mustered together, and
marshalled in pairs, they sallied, "seeking whom they
might devour;" and having succeeded in kicking up a
bit of a row, a very serious affray immediately took
place. Having armed themselves with bludgeons, every
person they met received a knock-down blow; the
watchmen (of whom, unfortunately, there were but
three on duty on the Green) were disarmed of their hal-
berts, and being broken in two, the upper'part formed a
most dreadful weapon in the hands of the miscreants.
The cry of murder was heard in every direction, and.
many persons were seriously injured : one poor fellow,
a waiter at a booth, bad his nose cut entirely asunder,
and was otherwise much bruised, and the pocket and
watch lob of his breeches completely cut away, from
the waistband to the middle 3t the thigh. For a long
time no one durst attack so formidable a gang, but a
little strength being obtained, a desperate effort was
made, and, much to the credit of several individuals, no
less than 31 of these notorious characters were taken
into custody, and brought to this town in a waggon,
and a more despicable set of ragged wretches could not
well be conceived. _ _

Tke motley stoup consisted of boys and men, from
10 to 53 yeas s of age, English, Irish, and Welsh—from
London, Bit mingham,Warwick, Manchester, Dumfries,
and Kilkenny. The whole of them underwent exami-
nation before our County Magistrates, but sufficient
evidence only was produced to justify the commitment
of seven of these desperadoes.
As a proof the determined character of some of the
higher cuss of thieves, a north country dealer had his
pocket picked of 200 i. in one of the booths, about one
o'clock in the day, by absolutely forcing him backwards
on the table, stopping his mouth, and extracting his
book from an inside wabtcoat pocket, with which they
got clear away, their numbers preventing detection.

It is rumoured that one of the ships which are to join
Lord Cocunawa, on his route, was fitted out at Ant-
werp. The Committee of Philhellene', at Liege, have
purchased for the Greeks 500 stand cf fire-arms, which
have been already s. nt off, probably on board this vessel.
At the Admiralty Sessions, on Saturday, gorge
firer, Daniel Fleming, and Sameel Bell, were tried for
piracy, for dispossessing the master of the Alert mer-
chant vessel of his command ; bur it appearing that
ttey acted under the influence of liquor, and flaying
again reinstated the master, the criminal past of the
charge was not made out, and they were acquitted.
Tne damage done by the late thunder And hail-storm
in various parts of the countt y was immense. The bail-
, stones in somtplact s measured neatly four inches round.
