• BOXING. 6. A smart and tic:ecru:tied round, equal fighting again, but little science. 7. The Oi.man hat a most decisive advantage in in , ting in this round, front cue weakness of Scroggins, who was gsqlh.,r; open mouthed. 8.: croggins played some tn•rry-Andrew trielts, to save his wind, hut the Oilman rail:td and Scroggi,,i was thr,, t en, lhe 9th was a dreadful round, and ticroggins again had the brut of tightink In round 12, the Oilman chewed great strength in tbrownig. In ti,e.l4th Scrogghis could not he got in, 'and in the i 60.. the 01.matt had the best or hitting. In the 16:h round, Fcroggins tlaced a good bit on his adversary's left eye, which closed it to one minute. They both fought with reciproctty ut advantage and discohrfiture, until the 44a rounu, when, by re peated parting, Scroggtuc bad all bus closed the•otter eye. All ntanceovre. were practised, but site steatii:wss of the Oilman could not be removed. lu the 47th, ehth, an•l 4 0 th roursG, the Oinnan's WI eye was closed, and he ts% as left u. Jiirl[llClii. The battle lasted one hour and fourteen minute, . • .. The match between ,Soreuier fwbo had gained innch pugilistic fame) and an adventurer, technically named the Oilman, but whose real ;Arne is Whitaker,. took pldce yesterday at Moulsey Hurst, in the pre sence of at least fifteen thousand amateurs. This combat had excited mtich sporting attention, as Scrov;ins (although a winner made a bad figtit with Ades) %as not considered the man he proved him.' self with Noteworthy, whom he beat cleverly. These Speculation; induced many to take the Odds about the Dilman, although an adventurer, who, nevertheless, was not considered much, but yet was lookedopon as a game one by Cribb and Belcher. with whom he set-to. The motley {troupes assemble! on these occa sions were early at work, but the times had beaten many of the turns out, and pedestrians were ? in pro portion to thpie who t •ok things more easily, in pro. portion to 10 to 1. The Oilman was quite as confi dent as Scroggins could possibly be, and this gave stimulus to the encouragement of his hackers. At one tie combatants entered the ring►, Crihb and Richmond seconded the Oilman, and Oliver and J. Clark seconded Scroggins.—Five to 2 on Scroggins. • ItOUN DS. - 1. Screggins made a left-banded feint, but it was received withoui a motion, and ram-tied by a blow on the head slightly. A rally followed, and ScroEgins bled his man by a bloW on the nose. Odds as at setting-to. . 2. Scroggins hit at his adversary % but missed him, and re ceived with the Oilman's kit hand. borne goad rallying took place, and with much resolution. in a close the Oilman extri rated himself; but he was knocked down. S. A gallant round, and Scroygiiis out-Insight his adversary in a rally; but at the end of it the Oilman had none the worst, al. though in outweighing his nian.lie fell. 4. Ano th er gallant round was fought, hut no 'time:. bited.—We call it a gallant round because both men skewed the best native courage, and whilst the Oilman kept steady and un• moored, alld threw out some slapping letrabanded bits, acroggins bit rAort, and by twice in thrice. tcroggins was thrown in a trial of strength. h. A determined round, in which the Oi:man had tie best of bitting, for Scroggins seemed to be in distress for wind. l)crog gins slipped in making a blo and rose again from one knee, and knocked down his adversalr. Kasimoos.--ANlough .icioggins won this , 64llr, hp bad more to attribute to goad luck, than to his own system of debauchery for training. Thistight spewed thy' necessity of a boxer taking 'are ul himself tor his kitherto security. Scrogginc rated. ought ro !lave beat the Oilman in less than haft an hour. He was up. posed to an adveuturer arid a . novice. but thorough breeding is of little signihcation to the I.ugilistic ac quirements Seroggins push, to have possessed. He missed blows too often, and although the o.lican is a shipper and inoffensive hitter with the right hand. and not exceller:t with the left, yet Scroggins cooed not sooner avid oneself of that which has been deem ed to him a swup,:rior man. and particulany so when they were within a pound or two of weight. bah men were glad to go to bed, and both were much punished. The deep ones were never nearer being out than on the present occasion. MOLYNEUX AND M,GLOWN. An Irish Paper c,asitaitis the following article— s' As different reports concerning this intended haute have been in circulation, in order to erase any doubt that might rest on the minds of the public respecting the transaction being deferred, M'Glown begs leave thus publicly to submit a statement of the facts: u On the 28th instant the parties proceeded to the appointed place, Doagh, which was vastly crowded with people 6f every • denomination. Molyneux evjnced a desire to relinquish, alleging, he would not get fair play from the people who appeared there against him, and 'mentioned he would rather forfeit selso than fight. This however was done away by. M'Glown proposing to get a file of soldiers to pro tect him, which Molyneux refused, and said he would take chance and go on. Some time before the ap. pointed hour, Molyneux was put under arrest by a Magistrate, of which circumstance Molyneux is known to be aware ten days before: M'Glown, with his second, bottle-holder, &c. appeared in the ring, where they waited in readiness a considerable time' but without the desired effect, as his antagonist did not appear. M'Glown gained possession of Moly. neux's fighting 'dress and sparring gloves, which he is determined not to part with, until the original owner gains them in the field by victory. In the evening, MClown• and second, together with Moly neues second, a man of colour, left the place; whom they conducted sale home to his lodgings in town. " PAT.' APC.J.UWN, " Belfast, December 29, 1815." On Thursday Joseph Brock, employed in the China manufactory of Messrs. Barr and Co. of Wor cesttr, for a wager of £2O, undertook to run a dia. tan'ce of twenty-one miles in three hours. He started from the Ketch, five miles having been measured . from that place, and be accomplished the arduous task, including stoppages, twelve minutes under the given time. • Denis Hendrick, the stone-mason, wbo walked blindfolded, for a bet of ten guineas,. from the Obe. lisk at the end of Fleet-miukat, to the Mansion-house, walked for a similar bet on New Year's day, from the Exchange at Liverpool, along Dale-street to the corner of Byrom-street, blindfolded, and wueeling coach wheel ; he started at half-past seven in the morning, and finished at twenty minutes past eight, being a distance of three-quarters of a mile, along.a very di ffi cult street. He is backed to walk a mile, blindfolded, through the mot intricate streets in the town, being allowed one day previous to make him self acquainted with the different windings.

MIDDLEUX OSSIoNS , DOLLitaawtYistetday this litsatlL2W was indicted for uttering, and hating in his possession, a number of counterfeit dollars. Mr. Serje,ant Bosannurr. on the p trt of the Bank, said, the present was entirely a new case of uttering ; in all former cases the tounterfait coin had been base metal, whereas in the present case it was pure silver, and the dollars were, in fact, of the same description as those usually stamped at the Bank of England. The stamp was. however, counterfeit, and there was reason to suspect tha prisoner had a knowledge thatit *as so ; and under these circumstances, though there were facts in the Clan which induced a belief, that the prisoner had himself. to a certain extent, been deceived, yet the law was imperative as to the pu nishment. There were other counts, charging other offences as well as uttering, but as the prisoner had expressed a great contrition for his offence, and as he (Mr. Bosanquet) understood, intended to plead guilty to this charge of uttering. he would not urge any of the other charges against him. . The prisoner then pleaded guilty, and was sen tenced to six months imprisonment, and at the end of that time to find security for six months. Edward Coxe, a clerk in the Investigator's Office at the Bank of England, was indicted for assaulting Mr. George Pitts. Mr. Pitts stated, that on the 29;11 of November he went with a Mr. Norris to toe davit t Erqvalid to see a re 2 note which he had paid to Mr. Norris. Aid which was stated to he forged. Mr. Cox • produced • a Bank -note, which was stamped whit .t.e word " forged': in various parts. Witness gavt M. Norris 82 for it, and took up the tour] not„ which he put in his pocket, saying that he would take it home with him. Tne defendant said that e e sh ,, old not do so.; and on the prosecutor insisting that he would carry it away, thedrfendant collared bins, and searched his waistc. , ar pocket. .Two other pet soils came, and forcihly took the note from the prosecutor. Kr. Setjeant 11:)SAMWET, for the defendant, sub mitted, that as then: it a statute &dais% it felony for any person to have a forged not.: in his possession without lawful excuse, his client had a right to inter fere by force to prevent the prosecutor from com •mitting a leloaty. As ro the note bein4 stamped, " forged" with red ink; many ins.ances had occurred wificii such marks had been discharged by che mical process, and the forged notes put once more in Circisistif.”•. The RECOKDER said, the simple question for the Jury to Oecide was, whether an assault hal been com mitted, such as would amount to a preach of the peace not? The Jury Acquitted the defendant, hut at the same time recommended to the Batik to adopt s.)ore other tun rer,:.vern ! ; notes so taken from 'lrma, than by suffering their own servants to rt.ipossess them• selves by force. LONDON SESSI9NS. Yesterday, after swear •ig constables, and ward business, the LOKI) MAitaft o 'tavola:mit, Sheriffs, and City Wig open,d the Adjourned S e ssions.-- The Grand and Pet: y Juries being sworn, the follow ing trials • tarried : Conrad Fred:rice, a deaf And dumb artist, born in Eligianu, of Gelman parents, was indicted for a mis time Ail' irg i n having exposed and offered for sale se vend indecent prints or pictures unlawfully and against the Statute. The COADION SEIIJEANT, for the prosecution, said, he had hoped that an excellent law which was enac ted some years Ago, had entirely suppressed the vile offence of selling obscene prints, but it appeared that the crime of disseminating poison to the mind of youth had sprung up again, if possible, with more aggravation than before. He was very happy, he said, to find, in this instance, that the defendant was a foreigner, who, by his profession, was able alone to produce the indecent articles in question. It was some consolation to believe, he had not procured front a second or third person the vile production. The offence imputed to this person was precisely that offence which his Majesty, with the serious advice of his Privy Council, had held up to the public as one which ought to be put down with the strongest hand. The Court feeling the enormity of it would doubtless inflict that degree of punishment sufficient to make an example to deter others. The charge against the defendant was, that he, in the open streets of the me tropolis, exhibited to public view, and for sale, in the presence of a number of young persons, figures of the most obscene and. iqdecent description. The Lion of paintings of this sort was a thing too shocking to be suffered in the public streets of London. The defendant represented himself as a pattern drawer, and consequently hewas a man cepable of making thesefigores. On the 11th of November, a person named Snow, to whom the public were much in debted, found the defendant at the corner of Pope's Head-alley, Cornhilt, surrounded- by young men find boys.He was o ff ering these pictures for sale. With the assistance of Hodson, another officer, he took him into custody. In their way to the Cowper, two per sons of respectable appearance, so far' forgot them. selves.as to offer the officers money to let him go.— The officers, however, knew their duty too well to 'comply, and the defendant was secured. The re spext due to • the Magistracy and the morals of the City of London, rendered it necessary that a mis creant of this description should be brought to justice. The defendant had a wife and young family, all of whom he had made witnesses of his most filthy traffic. The Common lierjcant concluded by calling the evidence. Thomas &now, a constable belonging to Ludgate, deposed, that he found the defendant on the 11th of November, at the corner of Pope's Hiad.alley, Corn hill ; he was exhibiting indecent prints, which he moved with strings. "fhe witness met Hodson, a brother otlicer, and they took the defendant to the Compter. He had , previously offered a shilling for a couple of the figures, and the defendant refused to sell them for less than. eighteen-pence. The' defen. ciant could not speak, but seeing the shilling offered, he refused it. John Hodson said, he saw Snow on the 11th of November, and assisted in taking the prisoner into custody, The prisoner had the following written notice ;--" Moving fi gures, nine.pence each." The witness identified the prints found on the prisoner. The pristgar, by his iavapretcr, a man who conk municated with bim by his fingers, alleged that lie I did not know he was committing a crime. • The REconoga said, it was an offence that admit ted of no justification. The corruption of the Morals . of youth before they knew e hat vice was, could not be too much deprecated. If the Jury believed th,? crime stated in the indictment proved, they would find the prisoner guilty.—The Jury found him guilty. He was sentenced to be impriloned in the House of Correction one year. Ann Maxwell, alias Stewart, was indicted for strip. ping and deserting her infant child, on the 17tli of November last. It appeared that on the night of the day stated in the indictment,. the prisoner was rb. served by a watchman, aiotit half past ten o'clock, entering Warwick-square, Newt ate-street, when sh: Advanced to the door of Mr. Ftddington, and after remaining a few minutes, dropped a parcel, and Van away. The watchman stivecting her conduct, ap proached the door, and discovered a female infant, about twelve months old, nearly naked. Having created as alarm, the prisoner was pursued, and she was atlength taken into custody in Paternoster-row. Having, however, in her flight, thrown away the clothes of the infant.—The prisoner pleaded guilty to the charge, acknowledged that she was the mother of the child, and said she was driven to the rash and in human act by despair, distress, and the unfeeling con duct of her husband.—The prisoner was sentenced to one month's imprisonment in the Giltspur-street House of Correction. QUEEN-SQUARE. ROBBERY or THE IV I NJ/S*lK COACH .—Yesterday William White, suspected of being concerned in this robt:err, was examined at this Office. A Mr. Jones, who was on the roof of the coach, and a Mrs. Flowers, an inside passenger, said, that while the coach was standing near the Gloucester Coffee house, they saw the parcel taken away by a than exactly resembling White in size and dress • but they could not positively swear to his person. H ei was, therefore, discharged, on giving bad, as Roberts bad done, for his appear ance whenever he should be called on ; himself in £2OO and two sureties in 4100 each. Yesterday Thomas Moore, who was convicted at the last Westminster Sessions, of stealing a handker chief fr•'m the person of Major I)aw•s.in, underwent part of his sentence by Ir:ing. whipped at the cart's tail 1O) yards, between the Horse Guards and Cha ring.cross. . _ _ A kw nights since, the dwellirg-house of a small thopkeeecr, in the village atf Greenfo-d, near liar rhw on t:te Hill, was brslcea open and robbed to a very corisidciabl.! arm•unt. The thieves gained ad mittsnee by ctrting a pirce tut of the front door, sn' :as to en.thie them to push back the lock. A Mr. Smith, who resides in the sime place, in riiing homt-, the sane night, froat town, was attacked near the Doke sai K..nt's, at Castiehar-hill, by three men, succs.t...ird ir. pulling him eff his horse;' when Mr. S. ‘o.h great pteseoce of mina, cried out— ," Hare they are," and the roblers tr.reediately de• camped, suppcsing th.l were sur-riscd. Toorsday est:Ling a d..ring roititery was commit. ted near Burnhar...lane, on the ivlaidenhaad.road.— The name of the Geolemas robbed • war Blake ; he had ceme tram Landon to Coitibto•lc by the 1i 'iii.l - coach, and h.d t:tken a post-clviise at Colidnor.k. to convey hiin to his house at 131.tywick. At the place before-mentioned, two footpads (Laud upon him from their concealment. Resistance was vain ; we *egret to state, that they succeeded in plundering him ut *lOO, a gold watch, and his portmanteau, containing linen and other articles. Oa the night of Thursday se'nnight, the house of Mr. Blac kmore, at Fethard, Waterford, was entered by a banditti, who robbed it of five or six stand of arms, 'a quantity of ammunition, and of from £l2O to £144) in money. The.party amounted to five or six in number. FIRE. —About six o'clock on Saturday evening, Miss C. Mills, of No. 4, Sloane -street, Chelsea, went up to her room to dress, in order to go out to an evening party, wken she inadvertently set the candle on a bed ; in a few minutes after she was alarmed at seeing the curtains on fire; the flames instantly com municated with the wainscot, and before she could give the alarm, the whole room was in a blaze.— Some of the domestics, however, rushed to her as sistance, and happily succeeded in getting her safe away ; but, in the mean time, the tire assumed such an alarming aspect, that serious fears were enter tained for the safety of the surrounding houses. The fire was got under in about half an hour alter, but not before the upper part of the house, with about £3OO worth of the property was consumed. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCL—Tuesday last, Messrs. S. Cohen and I. Isaacs, left Worcester with a friend in a gig, to settle a trifling dispute with Mr. Monks, .a hatter, at Eversham, where they arrived early in the afternoon, and scion compromised the business.. Mr. Monks invited Cohen and his friends to breakfast the following morning ; and Cohen being overjoyed at having made peace with his opponent in trade, took cyder, brandy, gin, wine, and ale, rather freely. The three friends left Bengworth on Wednesday, to return to Worcester. Cohen drove at starting, hut soon, with his friend, falling asleep, Isaacs took the reins, and when they arrived at a short distance from- Pershore be found his friend and relation Cohen dead in the gig.—An Inquest was held on Thursday, when, from the medical and other testimony produced, the Jury returned a verdict—Died by an attack of Apo plexy, occasioned by excessive drinking. COME.--There were two public sales of Coffee brought forward last week, and much interest was excited owing to the length of time which had elapsed since the last sale (nearly a month). first con sisted of 235 casks and 461 bags, and being a mix. cure of all descriptions, fixes in a great measure the currency of the market; good ordinary Jamaica 70s; ordinary middling Dominica 80s a 83s 6J ; good middling 86s and 87s; Dutch Triage 65s 6d; ordi nary middling, in extensive parcels at 79s 6d a WI 6d, good middling 90s a 95s 6d ; SO tierces fine ordinary Martinico 76s ; 20 lthds middling at 32s.—The to reign consisted of very ordinary Havannah and St. Domingo, and we believe chiefly taken in ; the other sale was altogether Jamaica Coffee, the first part going off much about the former currency, a few lots towarde the close going off at a depression of Is a 20.
