Royal Exchange, followed by a numerous centourse of relations
and friends. On this occasion, the dealers in cakes, fruit, &c. are

pearances they had no reason to complain of scarcity of money, or
falling off of trade. _ _

The hope of every man starting into life, is to ac-
quire that independence which will place him above the world :
bur, u Jennison observed, to'obtain this bx " climbing the steeps
of labour," requires years of application ; whilst, by a lucky hit in
the Lottery, the hope may be realized for a few pounds in a few
days; and, considering how long they have existed in this country,
we can see no reason for the Act of Parliament which abolishes
Lotteries for ever, after the present and one more drawing.

party of the Police, endeavoured to dissuade them, by every possi-
ble entreaty, from fighting, and without using any force whatever;
when suddenly both parties joined, and in the most furious manner
knocked down both the Clergymen and Chief Constables, who,
with the Polk*, were forced to retire to the Police Barnet:l4%44re
they were puttied, and every pane of glass in the barrack blakett.

SoLotsn's FUNERAL.—The gay display made by i!
holiday folks yesterday, in Hyde Park, was contrasted

last quarters by a numerous body of comrades, carry-
ing their arms reversed. Upon the lid `Of the coffin was
laid the sword of the deceased unsheathed, and his hel-

The number of conveyances that were plying the whole
the day was immense, and they kept in continual
motion, conveying the company to and from the fair,
which affords this year unequalled attraction. RICH A RD-•
SON'S Theatre has been got up in a very superior style,
and the entertainments are really better than we might
expect. The Crown and Anchor Tavern, as usual,
leads the van amongst the other establishments of the
description, and the gorgeous manner in which it is
fitted up surpasses Lily thing of the sort we ewer be-
held. The interior presents a blaze of light cornple:ely
dazzling to the eye, from the many thousand pre ty
coloured lamps displayed in various forms and devices.

likeness of his MAJESTY, surmounted by a regal crown,

room is a well constructed orchestra, with a band of IS
excellent performers.
