      Serious Affkat at Cbotdon . —On Monday afternoon , a Tery serious disturbance took place upon the fair field of Croydon , between a number of th « lower class of persons belonging to the town , and the gypsies and booth-keepers . It appears that at the conclusion of the fair , it is the custom for the youn <» men to go round and obtain beer or money from those booth-keepers who have never attended the fair before , and the leader of the party carries upon his bead an iron pot , such as is used to hold fire , and goes by the name of a devil , this name being adopted by the poi-bearer . The " devil / ' in the course of "his rounds , took some liberties with the goods of on <> of the stall-keepers , and , upon his interfering , a fight took _ place between them . Reinforcements for both parties soon came up , and a desperate struggle

      eusueu , aunng wmch saw 3 , hammers , sticks , the legs of tables , and other dangerous instruments , were freely made use of , and some of the combatants received very severe wounds . A man , vrEo goes by the name of Gipsy Jack , was very active during the affray , and vras observed to kick several of the other party in a mo 3 t brntal manner while they vrere lying upon the ground . At length the police made their appearance , and succeeded in capturing Gipsy Jack and five other men , who were subsequently brought before the Magistrates ; but , in consequence of the difficulty of obtaining evidence to show who were the aggressors in the first instance , and also as to the identity of the persons eoneerned in the atfray the Magistrates dismissed them upon paying their fees , the booth-keepers promising to leave the town immediately .

      Aboot thbjse w-eeks since , a party of cavalry who had been training at the Maidstone depot , were deswtched to join their respective regiments . On reaching Wrotham . on their road to London , they got drank , drew their swords ; and by their disgraceful conduct caused great terror in that usually quiet village . The Rev . George Moore , a Magistrate ww sett tor , and expostulated with the troopers Wba ^ Jie . was speaking , one of the fellows fired a pistol off behind him . As the rev . gentleman has only , one lifey although posscas&d of several livings he turned in alarm to ascertain whence this report had proceeded ; and at that instant a carbine was fired again behind him . The weapons were only loaded with blank cartridgebut the rer . gentleman

      , considered it wise to quit such dangerous company unceremoniously ; and as they naed featfal threats against any person who should attempt to apprehend them , an express was sent off for military assistance from Maidstone , and the fellows proceeded on their route . A detachmentwaa sent from Maidstoneyand brought them back from Farningham . They have been since tried by a court-martial , " and the sentences were read on Monday . One corporal and : two privates were acquitted , but were ordered to jvalk to their regiments—leading their horses 1 Corporals Brown / M Dermot , and Coutts ; -were . broken , and sentenced to a term of imprisonment ; the latter punishment being also awarded . to privates Easom and JKilday . —Maidstone Gazette .

      AT the Sessioss of the last Criminal Court , a person named Palmer was conyicted of pot-stealing ; when it came out that he had been the means of entrapping others into the commission of similar crimes , and than appeared in evidence against them , for the purpose of obtaining the reward offered by the society of Licensed Victuallers for the detection of offenders . One of his victims was a poor lad named ^ Thomas Keats , who was convicted three sessions since , on Palmer ' s evidence , and being

      sentenced to ten years' transportation , was on board a transport at Portsmouth , now on the eve of sailing . During the time of Palmer's trial , the father of Keats was in Court , and stated to the Learned Judge the circumstances under which his son was transported . The Judge immediately communicated with the Secretary of State for the Home Department , and obtained her Majesty ' s free pardon for Keats ; and the lad has returned to his parents , who reside in Moxmouth-street , Soho , and are honest and industrious individuals .

      £ 0 15 7 Shocking Accident . ^ Oii Monday last , a man employed ontheNorth . Union \ Railway was killed near the firgt bridge south of Wigan ; by the mail train coming down . The unfortunate individual was engaged in regulating the rails on the iip side of tho road , when , observing the seven o ' clock train from Preston proceeding towards ; Parkside , he stepped from that to the opposite line . He had scarcely done this , when the mail train coming from Parkside to Preston arrived at the spot , and the

      wheels of the engine passing over his neck , nearly severed his head from his body . The mail was move than an hour out of time , having been detained near Warrington by a luggage train carelessly left on the rails . This circumstance was probably unknown to the sufferer , and therefore he had no reason to expect any train at the time on the side of the road where he had gone for safety : and the morning being very foggy ,- the er , gineman could only see a fewypds before him , and was unable to stop the tram m time to save the poor man ' s life .
