FAIRLOP Fata.—This day, according to annual
•elisions, the block and pomp makers in the vicinity of
I. Wrapping, went from %Yapping Old Stairs in boats,
. Just on coach carriages, drawn by four horses each,
covered with awning*, ornamented with boughs of
trees and various flags and streamers, with bands of
music, to Fairlop Fair, In flainault Forest, Essex.
This fair originally took its rise from the eccentricities
of Mr. John Day, formerly of Wapping, block and
pump maker, who) fur the greatest part of his life an-
nually proceeded in that manner to that place, with a
select party of his friends, and all bis workmen, and
after making procession round the great oak (said to
be upwards of MO years oid, and whose venerable
branches shaded two acres of ground), were sumptu-
ously entertained in tents provided for the occasion,
and since his death this fair is annually kept without
a charter.

THN COURT AND FASHIONABLE& .

Yesterday at halttast twelve o'clock his Majesty
left town in his travelling carriage for Kew, where the
Wog spent the day.
Thera have been serious internal bickering' relating
to his Majesty's tour to the eetttin nt. It will be re-
collected. that during the King's residence in Her-
many last year, especially whilst he remained at Han-
over. be was much iedisposed, and thereby unable to
mingle is the " sports and pastimes" of his loving
subjects. His Majesty's indisposition was said to he
so severe, that a guard was stationed is the Park of
the Palace, to prevent the abrupt approach of the po-
pulace. This was a sad disappointment to the loyal
and phlegmatic Hanoverian; but to repair the
wound inflicted epos their Whigs, his Majesty gra-
ciously pledged himself to return thither this sews.
and also to continue the route, as originally and ex-
elusively stated in this paper. A promise had likewise
been exacted by Louis XVIII. that Paris should be vi-
sited en the Monarch's return to England, from 'Vi-
enna. The Elysee &whoa, first decorated by the
tasteful fancy of Napoleon for the occasional residence
of Maria Louisa. and since the residence of the Duke
nod Duchess of Berry, was most sumpteously re-urn- ,
banished for the abode of the Royal guest and suite. '
Ye give cm to splendour to this &Aides,
an order was issued by the proper authorities here. to
Messrs. Cooke and Co. to build three Royal carriages
for the occasion, and we believe they now remain in
their workshop in an unfinished state. Hovernmeat
lino pushed so hard by Parliament on the
subject of retrenchment, is, we learn, the cause why
Ministers have protested against furnishing the ways
and means to enable the continental tour to be pro-
ceeded in. It would be curious to see the very
interesting correspondence which took place be-
tween the "high contracting parties," and the cownes-
lions made hv Ministers on other moat important point*,
which prevailed in the highestquarter, and induced his
Majesty to give up the plan. Ministers then suggested
the policy of &journey to Edinburgh, and with unusual
haste and precipitancy, even before consent bad fairly
been given to their entreaty, by the personage most
interested, they dispatched messengers in all directions
to the North to prepare for the Royal reception,
which orders were as speedily recalled. Thus the
Continental tour, and the journey to Edinburgh, 1111

tions and changes, we were the first to give to the

cursien to Portsmouth, round the Isle of Wight, and
perchance a peep into the Bay at Weymouth, from
thence back again to the coast of Sussex, and. with
the exception of an occasional visit to t.be Cottage
is Windsor Park, a return towards the close of au-
tumn with the favoured coterie to enjoy the secluded
al banquets at Brighton. The intended fetes at

making and completing purchases of British manu-
factures. Their Royal Highnesses broiglit with them
a carriage which has been in the family 150 years,
wbills their Royal Highnesses gave up to their attend-
ants, and have purchased an elegant and convenient
travelling carriage for themselves, with which they
are so highly delighted, that they have ordered a si-
milar carriage to be sent after them to Denmark. lo
the evening the Prince and Princess, accompanied by
the Prince of Holstein, dined with the Duchess of
Kent, at her Royal Highnesses residence in the King's
Palace at Kensington, where the Royal Strangers were
met by most of the Royal Prosily, and where the
Royal Party spent the evening. Yesterday afternoon,
shoat half-past three o'clock, their Royal Highnesses
set out for the seat of the Earl of Estes, at Caahio-
bsry, Hertfordshire.

The Duke of Bedford now appears, by all accounts,
to be doing well. The lest intelligence which reach-
ed town was, that his Grace bad passed a good night,
and that the symytoms bad mod d. The attack,
it seems, proceeded from a too great determination of
blood to the head. His Oraas must have been left
very weak, as he lost seventy-two ounces of blood
at the first bleeding. He was likewise bled a second
time.

Dust.—Captain O'Grady and Mr. Jame% Grattan,
both Irish County Members, had an affAir of honour
lately, in consequence of a political dispute. The for-
mer was attended by the Hon. John Lowther, as hia
second, and the letter by the lion. Charts lloward
Butler Clarke. After an exchange of shots the se-
conds interfered, and the parties shook bands before
they left the ground.
Madame Catalani was to leave London yesterday
for Paris, with her son and his tutor. She will re-
main in that city for two months, and then proceed
to Italy, which she proposes making her future abode.

The Hon. Mrs. Egerton, and some other ladies of
our late Queen Cbarlottee's Household, inhabiting
apartments in St. James..street, have received notice
to quit immediately, that part of the Palace being des.
tined to be taken down shortly, for the purpose of
making a grand entrance into the Palace.

to be erected io memory of Shaltspeare, on the spot
where be lived and died. A Linden Committee, a
Sub-Committee, and a Stratford Committee have been
for the purposes formed of collecting subscription.. and

ARRUT or CONSFIRATOI6:-.41 meeting, convened
by peblie notice, was this day held in the 'f Own-hall,
at which the City Representative, Wm. Stuart, Esq.,
presided. Several Resolutions were passed respecting
the arrestof the fourteen men stated in our set publi-
cation, the psrport of which was to shew e convic-
tion which exists in the minds of the chianti, that
Ar magh was selected as a place of meeting by the
conspirators, under the conviction that they would be
least subject to detection here, from the d dly
high character the city maintains for loyalty and good
conduct ; and to declare that, from official authority,
they were enabled 1 state that of the entire number
of conspirators there was not one belonging to, or in
any degree connected with, the county or city of
Armagh.—(Armagh Volunteer of F,iday)

another goo bid near Kihneedy. He was tried at

TO TER EDITOR OF ME STATESMAN.
--
Sia—l was last Saturd■y a witness to one of those
frequent mistakes which endanger the health and lives
of the public. A young lady in the City-road, at

r_
eonsequeoees *flaking her medicine by accidentally
turning to the light when about to mix it. She
had never seen salts in a powdered state, in
which I understand they are frequently sent, and.
indeed, chrystalized, might be mistaken for other
salts, which lately have proved fatal ; she made an ex-
clamation, and on inquiry they turned out to be cream
of tartar, which would have taken off all the coats of
the stomach. As the dose was weighed oat by the
master, if her illness or death bad followed, that would
have silenced all suspicion, as assurances of correct-
ness, and having done it s• myself, who sin so parti-
cularly careful," would not have been wanting, so that
" it came of itself " would have been still the regular
answer to all questions respecting the disease.
Would not keeping a portion of every dose of medi-
cine a few days be a proper check on the venders ?

The new Semaphore Signal Station, near the Sally-
port, Portsmouth, has now commenced working; the
line of signal posts being now established between i
that port and the Admiralty, by which a message can
be conveyed in minutes. The line of communi. '
cation is to be continued on to Plymouth, which has
never yet been done.
The trial of Mrs. Wright for selling Carlile's publi-
cations, which was to have come on this day, has been
put off to next Monday morning.
A Liverpool paper of Tuesday states that some of
the labourers who arrived there, last week, from
Ireland, were in such a deplorable state of disease
that they were obliged, on landing. to be instantly
removed to the fever hospital.
Yesterday moaning, as one of the Paddington stages
wu passing near Dalby-terrace, a boy, about I I years
of age, in crossing the end, was struck by the pole of
the coach on the head, and killed on.the spot.
Boat No.—Tuesday was the day for making an addi-
tion to the stake money between Randall and Martin,
but, as it was anticipated, the match is off, and without
a forfeit, from the bungling manner in which the arti-
cles were drawn op. It was at Spring's house where
the parties met, and, to finish, Spring and Randall had
a fight, the marks of which the latter bears, and lie ac•
cuses Sprink of hitting and kicking when down. The
matter is not set at rest, and souse diversion is likely to
ensue.
Two merry stand-up battles were fought yesterday
morning, on the Weald, near Stoke, Bucks. The first
was for' 0 guineas, between Josh. Davis and Jock Har-
ris, two very good bred ones of II stone each. The
first two rounds lasted a quarter of an hoar, and the
claret flowed in abundance. Davis was thrown in both
rounds.
3. Harris received a heavy facer, which darkened one
, of his peepers, hot he floored his adversary by a hit in
' the wind, which doubled him up.
The 4th, sth, and 6th rounds were fought in distress;
bat the men recovered second wind in the 7th round,
and turned to for mischief. It was a gallant round in
, favour of Davis, who loosened his adversary's jaw.
' 8 and 9. Davis kept the lead, and Harris was blind of
an eye, but he floored Davis in both these rounds.
lie, however, had no chance afterwards, although he
I protracted the fight to the 15th round, when lie was hit
