"s Woad you seethe world in -little, ye curious here repair,
" Well suit you to a tittle, at this our rustic Fair !"

&took Gwww Fair, (Hammersmith,) commenced yesterday,
and was attended by a numerous assemblage of company of all
descriptims. Cyngell, Richardson, Scowton, and a host of
conjurors, fire-eaters, giants, and dwarfs, were resent to ad-
minister to the amusement of those who delighted in the mar-
vellous—while others who preferred "'the substonlials," were ac-
commodated with bow-wow sausages, hot from the pan, painted
polonies, mutton-pies, and other sweetmeats. To the curious in-
the works 4. nature, the numerous swings afforded ample scope,
for contemplation !—Owing to the judicious arrangements of the
neighbouring Magistrates, in ordering a number of constables to
attend, the utmost decorum prevailed throughout the slay.

Bow-STREET.—Yesterday, J. Moore, a pauper upon,
the Parish of St. Mary-leStrand, was brought up in
custody of six men, the blood streaming from two or
three wounds on his head. It appeared, that in con-
quence of net receiving what he deemed a sufficient
allowance, he on Sunday insulted Mr. King. the
Overseer, on his way to Church, a. d was given in
charge to Dallas, a Constable. 1.1.- latter lodged
him in the watch-house, where he ~assessed himself
of a poker, with which he demolisl .d the table and
Constable's chair, broke open the door, and escaped.,
Dallas procured the aid of Avis arid oth-.rs, Bow-
street patrols, and hearing he was at Sun and
Apple Tree, in White Hart-yard, they went there,
when the prisoner presented himself with a table-
knife in one hand, and a clasp-knite in the other;
and on Dallas stepping forward to seize him, he made
a lunge at his breast, which Dallas avoided by stoop-,
ing, and, before the prisoner could recover himself,
seized him round the waist with both arms. The
other officers assisted, but be still kept brandishing
both his knives, and it was not until they had felled
him to the ground that he was secured. They all
got most severely cut on the hands, and one was
slightly stabbed in the arm. The prisoner seemed
perfectly indifferent to his situation ; and when called
upon for his defence, he replied, looking down upon
his handcuffs, " A pretty pair of ruffles, these are for
a fellow who has served his King and country under
five different Admirals. All I want, is to serve my
King and country again, and not to be under the
orders of any inf—l Overseer."—lle was committed
to the House of Correction for the violent assault on
the officers.

EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY OF A MURDERER.—
On the 10th of October last, a man named David
Haggett who had been confined in the jail of Dum-
fries, rushed from his cell, and murdered the turnkey
of the prison, by the blow of a stone in a stocking,
and thus effected his escape. A reward was offered
for his apprehension, and every search made without
effect; some time after, a man, calling himself David
Bryans, was committed to the jail of Downpatrick,
for picking pockets; he was convicted at the last As-
sizes, and received sentence of transportation.—'
The Rev. Mr. BLACKER, a Magistrate of that county,
finding that his description answered that of the per-
son mentioned in the Hue and Cry, wrote to the
Magistrates of Dumfries; they, in consequence sent
over John Richardson, a police•officer, who arrived
in Dublin on Monday se*nnight, and proceeded to
Kilmainham Jail, to which place the convicts had
been removed, in order to their being sent off by the
first opportunity to New South Wales. Richardson
having identified the man to be Haggart, he applied
at the Head Police-office, and produced his warrant;
an information was then taken as to the facts, and for-
warded to Mr. Gregory, to be laid before his Excel-
lency the Lord Lieutenant. An order was given by
Mr. Gregory, to deliver Haggart into the custody of
Richardson, and he went, accompanied by Robinson,
of the Head Police-office, by the Belfast coach, on his
way to Scotland. The Assizes for Dumfries will be
on Saturday next. The prisoner is a smart young
man, about nineteen years of age, has been several
times in custody, and broke many of the prisons in
Scotland.

a A short Bill is, we understand, to be introduced
into Parliament, to prevent the suppression of the
Viceregal power in Ireland, in consequence of his
AlAngry's visit to this country. The King's Irish
Attorney-General has been officially consulted in the
formation of this Bill, which is designed to put an
end to all doubts upon the subject. There can be no
longer any doubt about the reality of the Royal visit
to Ireland, so decisive a measure being adopted as an
act of the Legislature, to remove difficulties and im-
pediments of every sort."--Dublin &coin; Post.
