A cricket match was played last week on &mark!.
end Green, in Essex, bet ween the sire( Gentlemen
of Thaxted, and the single amtlemen of Brasted
and 'nit, at which nearly all tie siegle L tdies of the
three parishes were present.
Fairlaft, by far the prettie,t Fair in the neighhonr.
hood of the Metropolis, was held yesterday with all
the accustomed rites and ceremonies, in the presence
of at least twenty thousand spectatias. Unless, how-
ever, the ancient and beaoritul oak tree from which tf e
Fair takes its name, is cncli.sed by palit.g, this wide-
spreading monarch of the wood will soon be red•icel
to a mere stump by the scarifying knives of thoug:lt-
..
less and wanton depredatcls.
In the &ran of Tuesday last, we mentioned the
arrival of the Troia traninwt at Portsmouth, from
Cork, with a detazhment of the 35th Regiment and
some deserters—and among others a man long noted
in Ireland as a robber. In the article (winch was
copied from a Portsmouth Paper) the name of the
robber was called Oliver, but we have since learnt that
the person in custody is ti.e notorious Cullier alias
Awls-as& There was another mistake alba in the
statement :—The detachment had no skirmish with
Collier and his gang, but received him is charge at
Cork county gaol.
Yesterday as limn M'Cullen, butler to a Gentle..
man's family in May Fair, was passing along Ox-
ford-street, a hackney.coachman, who had conceived
some ill•will towards him, called ,;tit, 4, There goes
05ver, the Spy." A mob ialrov•ii.tt,ly surrounded
the unfortunate butler, and he WA': Crt.t hu,.tled And
jostled *hoot, then pel•-.1 with nt,:a and E!th ; an',
tiaally, dragged tonar..l.s the !Ware' pump. On h
way, however, some Gentlemen took pity
forcibly rescued him from the hand:. of. his nitncilcss
persecutors, and got him secured in a lial7.lcney.coa:h,
