SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. FIGHT BETWEEN NED TURNER AND INGLIS. All apprehensions of the intention of the Police altogether to suppress the good old English pastime of boxing seem now to be at an end. In describing the late disappointment at Moulsey, it will be recollected that the Right Worshipful President of the Daffy Club alluded to the forthcoming fight between Ned Turner and Inglis, the feather-bed-maker, and said, that to this event he looked as the test of the future intention of the Nobs at head-quarters. Yester day was the day appointed for this match; and, after a good deal of doubts and difficulties as to the probable result, a hint was given to the Con•ninnder.ia-Chief that " all was right," and that the Beaks had only been influenced in their recent hostility by the indecency of appointing a min to take place under the very nose of the Church, in Position week. This was, in fact, such an oversight as, upon re f! •ctinn, to have met with the reprobation of every rational man, liowever warmly disposed to patronize the Ring, and blame was attached only to those individuals who had chosen such an tin raper season for their amusement —" There is a time for everything," hut Bill Gibbous apologizes for not being down upon Sol, from the length of time since that sage flourished, and Bill was only awake to living authors. But " burn his boots," he now says, " if any males head shall be broken the week before Easter within the P. C. stakes and ropes." " ihicency, decency, darlings!" said the Lord of the Dog and Duck ; " wait for Easter Monday, when all isf air from Greenwich to Tothill-fields, and then. wish the law at one side, and the voice of the country in our favour, we can up hold our honest calling." Ilonest Bill bet to work, and ascertained what in reality were the sentiments of the guardians of public morals, and when he found that they only wished that the best man might win, he sent a courier to his Commander-in-Chief, and Tuesday, the lOth of April, being the day appointed for Turner and Inglis, Colnhrook was settl..d as the place of meeting, the waters being still 1 , out at Hampton. The name of Turner excites all our sympathies for a brave man obliged to return to the ring after his memorable battle wall Ran dall, and his conquest over 'Martin. Ned Turner, a few yea: s since, was only second to the Nonpareil, and a better or mute sci entific boxer did not grace the ring. lie had an advantage as a left-hand fighter, which puzzled his opponents, and he was a dread ful punisher, when he went to finish. Ned had a had fault, he was too fond of the mu •tsedeeinale a la bourgeoise, and lived so free that the stamina gave way at last, and nature grew sick within him. Turner was fond to excess of bathing in Liquorpond-street, or of measuring gin-twist with an old friend. • Too much life, in short, was nearly his death, and when he fought Martin the last time, his legs could not bear his frame, and his hands refused the order of his head. Ned was beaten, and has not been much heard of since till this match with Inglis was made up, and Turner was sent down to Wales to try what goat's whey and native air could do for him. Inglis was not much known but as a maker of feather-beds, and, as such, a downy cove, but he was talked of as a smart young man, full of health, pluck, and no novice in science. The grand match yesterday was between the brave Ned Turner and P. Inglis, for 1(O sovereigns a-side. The ring was formed in 2 large meadow ; and it was thinly attended from the uncertainty of a fight. The seconds were Maurice Delany and M'Kenzie for Inglis, and Josh. Hudson and Paddington Jones for Turner.— Betting 6 to 4 on Inglis front youth at at, and no disparagement in weight. THE FIGH'r. Round 1. Turner placed the first hit upon his adversary's breast (heavy) through his guar.', broke away, and floored hip adversary as if shot, with the left hand, lighting as usual with the right tout in advance—( Loud cheering and •even betti•:g). 2. Turner placed a tight handed hit upon his adversary's pimple, broke ground, and succeeded in the same stratagem. Inglis re turned away front distance. Turner placed another hit upon his adversary's throat. A rally with much determination followed, in which the science of Turner strongly prevailed. Turner broke ground, and had it all his own way, as Inglis could not reach him : it was a long round. Turner did as he liked, and threw bis adversary. S. Turner out-fought hi• adversary, and bit him heavy by a swinger up with the left hand. Irish; was too good to be denied, and he placed a good body hit. Turner fell in a twist. 4. Turner had this tioind as all his own, and with both hands in his adversary's frontispiece kept the claret upon a regular flow. The only question was, will Ned's stamina last? A doubtful case, thought some of his admirers. Turner went down worse fur toil, weakly. 5. Inglis made a turn in this fight by making some exchanges.— Turver went down weak, and became a pipe•. Betters silent. 6. high., hit his adversary, but not home, and Turner went down weak. 7 and 8. Turner was distressed, but Lis opponent could not reach him. 9. A short round. Turner uncorked the claret in another part of the olfactory organ, and fell from weakness. 10. Inglis got exhausted, and a gay round took place; in a manly rally Turner's science gave bin, the best, but be fell from exhaustion. 11. Both clime up for the minute. IC. Turner drew fresh claret in torrents from every organ, and fell weak. 15, 14, and 117. Turner kept the claret flowing; but there %%•cr:: tla symptoms of denial to it. lle was fighting fine against sup 16. 'llar.er nude two of the finest scientific hits with me hand tv:r seen, but he fell. Until the 20th round the question was, whether Juglis wouiJ stay to get p inisitinent but there was nothing like a negative about him. 2.1. Inglis put in some teazers on Turner's face, but the latter returned heavily on his throat. Turner down. 25. Turner again excited thunders of applause, by manfully at tacking his man, and hitting right and left. Inglis rushed in—but be %vas again met with an ILI:ler-hand jobber on the muzzle, which drew lots of the purple stream. 26. Another " drop of brandy for Ned ;" after a heavy rally he dosed, and threw Inglis cleverly—(Shouts of applause). 27. Randall offered 10 to 2 on Turner, but on being answered, it was "no go." In a dose, Turner down heavy. 28. In this round Inglis 'hewed conAderable weakness, and, after some hard hits, went down. 29. Turner, though groggy, could not be got at by fair fighting. Inglis bored hint to the ropes, and in a struggle both down. &O. Turner hit out right and left, and againjObbed his man, who fell," not," as Josh said, " on a bed of down. , 31. Inglis now had recourse to boring in upon Turner. The latter retreated, and met him once or twice on the mug. A close at the ropes, in which, after a hard struggle, Inglis fell over. As he was falling, and while his knee was on the ground, Turner hit him on the neck (cries of " foul !"); but the umpires decided that • the blow was accidental, and not meant unfairly. 32. Inglis again on the boring system—threw Turner at the ropes. 53. Turner excessively steak, Inglis went in boldly to finish him ; and, although Turner met hint manfully, he was bit heavily and thrown. 34. A close, and both down. 33! Turner thrown, weak. 36. In a rally, Turner caught Inglis, and fibbed him ; but he went down, greatly exhausted. et. Turner still shtwed his science, and, although tottering, stopped and hit miraculously. lie went down, weaker and weaker. Inglis gut his second wind, bored in on Turner, and they both went over the ropes. 39. A good rally ; Turner down. 41). Turner hit right and left, and jobbed ; but he was hit down. 41. In a close Turner threw Inglis, showing his sound bottom and *nod training. la This round astonished everybody. Turner seemed scarcely able to stand when brought to the scratch, but imm►diately became steady. He followed Inglis to the ropes, and Inglis, in avoiding his left-hand hits, got his body outside; when lie stood up the tipper rope was across his breast. Turiter saw the advantage, seized it, and bit him a tremendous slash on the mazzard, at.d, before be soild est:lc-ate hisinelf. jobbed him cruelly oil the nose and mouth. inglis at length got free, and in a close both went down. 43. The scale was still doubtful, but Inglis was the favourite, Don't his youth and strength. Inglis rushed in, and threw Turner violently. This was nearly a finisher.-4 to 1 tin Inglis. 44. Such a rally in such a stage of a fight, Was never before wit. messed as this ; both men hit and counter-hit, got away and Went to' work again, till neither was able to strike a blow—(Roars of ap plause). In a close at the end botl► down. 4g. Tomer to the last slimed he had a bit left, and Met Inglis as be came in with his right. Both down. The 46th round ended a most gallant fight, when Inglis was de clared the winner. Up to the last ro►►nd Turner bad the best of fogl►ting, but went down weak at the end of each, and It was not until the last touch of manhood had left him, that his seconds gave in for hint. The head of Inglis was a disfigurement rarely seen, but his bravery was undeniable. Those whose admiration was ex cited by the manhood of the decayed Ned Turner, had a feeling of sympathy for the goodness of his rival, who will stand high in the records of gluttony. The battk lasted one hour and eighteen initiates, and it was all fighting. OBSERVATIONS. _ - - Theis won by youth and constitution. He could not have stood insitnty sninutes before Turner in his pcitne, but as it now is, poor Ned is any child's plaything that is a few years younger. Tt was! one of the bravest battles ever fought, and the last days of Turner only shew what a man he must have been when health and youth and good spirits were his handmaids. Free living and late hours will reduce a giant, and it is painful to see what effects they have had on the choice: man of his day—the select of the light weights, the prime among the prime, the competitor of Randall, and the conqueror of Martin ! In every round ip_ this fight Turner had the best till near the close, when though severely punished, led and then won, because he had more wind and consti tution. Turner had the consolation to receive the sympathy of the Ring in his defeat. SECOND FIGHT, BETWEEN GTPSEY COOPER AND READS. The match for these men bting off last week, they turned-to yes terday for a purse of twenty guineas. Betting six to four on Heade. It was decided in nineteen rounds and twenty-nine nfinutes, in fa vour of Beads, who won as really the better man. The Gypsey began like a hero, and ended like a mongrel. When he could not lead he was sure to fall away, and gave in at last, though nut much beaten. Wade is a brave man, and will yet puzzle the Itin,g.

Kennington Common has been frequented by a nu merous assemblage of respectable visitors to witness the various groupes of cricketers and trap-ball players dur ing the holidays. The Magistrates of the Soucy Dis trict very wisely issued placards to prevent the " black guardism" which formerly disgraced that ncilghbour hood on Good Friday ; and the police were on the alert to prevent the depredations which were formerly com mitted under the pretence of opening the season with the usual gymnastic exerch.es. An importrnt addition to the public buildings in York will shortly be male by the erection of a Al iisic hall, capable of accommodating 2,000 persons, upon a scale so magnificent as to vie with any other similar erection in Europe. ALARMING OCCURRENCE.--A few days since, at Moresby, near Whitehaven, while a child was playing by the road side, it was trampled down and much bruised by a fat cow, which had become furious Min) driving to market. The child's sister, who saw the at tack of the enraged animal, immediately ran to its rescue; but the cow no sooner saw this, than she gave chtte . e to the girl, who, in her flight, took up a mason's pick, whic: she threw at her pursuer, and it most for tunately alighted on her neck, the point penetrating to the spinal marrow. The beast instantly tell, and thus, in an almo.t miraculous manner, the child and the sister were preserved from the fury of their dangerous enemy. MORTALITY.— We have seldom had occasion to re cord a more melancholy and affecting instance of nior talky than has occurred in the family of Mr. Robert Henry, merchant, of Wooddead of Fyvie, during the lira week. Mrs. Henry, who had been delivered of a child the week preceding, died on Sunday, the 23th ultimo; the little infant ended its brief existence on the 30th ; and Mr. Henry, who had previously been in per tea health, was seized with an illness about the time of the death of his wife, which terminated his life on the 31st; and all three were interred in one grave upon Friday last. Few people in their station possessed so large a share of public respect, and their premature and unlooked 1 . ,,r deaths have created a very general feeling of deep regret in that neighbourhood. They have left behind them five children, too young to estimate fully the loss they have sustained. ExmosioN OF Fute•rtair.—One of those melancholy accidents, occasioned by the explosion of fire-damp, oc curred at the Old Church Pit Colliery, near Swansea, on Wednesday last, whereby four men lost their lives, 18 have been dreadfully scorched and lacerated, and four have received compound fractures. It appears drat the colliers received strict orders from the agent not to approach a certain part of the pit; but disregarding these injunctions, the fatal result was as above described. DEATH or A WELSH BARD.—Sunday last, after a short illness, Edward Jones, Dard to the Prince of WALES, breathed his last, aged 72.—Mr. Jones was a native of Merionethshire, in North Wales. He pub fished, about thirty years ago, a Work intitled Relics of Ike Bards, which contains much valuable historical in formation ; also a collection of Welsh Airs, arranged for the harp, an instrument which Mr. Jones performed on after the manner of his forefathers, that is, he played the treble with his left hand and the bass with the right. Mr. Jones possessed a library of rare books, both MSS. and printed, many of which he has latelydisfosedof.. He was a membe r o f th e R o yal society of Musicians, the Governors of which, on hearing that he was totally unable to follow his professional pursuits, panted him an annuity of fifty pounds; but he only lived to enjoy the first payment of the Institution's. bounty. 7HE SACRIFICE OF THE VIRGINS. ..-.....-- Of the few who devote themselves to the highest branch of painting so fest , are successful, that a grand historical work is as rare as it is admirable. It was, therefore, with no very sanguine expectations that we visited a picture now exhibiting, painted by M. Van Bree, a Dutch artist of first rate eminence and extra ordinary popularity. Our surprise was not less great than agreeable, when on the very first view it was ob vious that this was a noble effort. The subject is the choice by lot of the Athenian Virgins to be devoured by the Minotaur, and Theseus offering himself as their deliverer. The moment of action is when King Egeus is in the act of announcing the name of Milita, the seventh and last of the Virgins, to be sacrificed. The general effect of the picture is grand and classical. The back ground is delicately painted and judiciously disposed. The principal group presents numerous beauties. The figure of the fainting victim is graceful expr,tssive, the drapery of the next female figure is arranged with exquisite taste, the Ethiopian slave is full of character, and the countenance of the Vi , gin who is rejoicing at her escape from death might serve as a model for a personification of Joy. Some of the other heals are striking, and the scowling looks of the two Pallantides cuntrast well with the general feeling. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL Yesterday Vitt Hughes was charged under the following circum stances :—llenry Alatnews stated that he is a cibin.s-maker in Ludge-row, riot he Wai standing in his shop about the hour of three o'clock in the afternoon of Monday, when two gentLmen en tered It, and inquired the inlet: of a very valuable toilette cl•iss. On their receiving an answer as to its price, they left the shop. The witness had occasion to siep to >< neighbour's for a few minutes, and on his r;:!arn he miswo the glass. lie accordingly followed in the directio❑ the two Gentlemen took, anti us he g,.t to th e top of Geor ; ;e•street, leading into St. Swithin's-lane, he s.tw the prisoner, who is a porter, carrying the glass, and at a little distance before him were the two (ientlrturn wins had been in his shop ; he stopped the prisoner and took the glass, and gave bins in charge of the street keeper. The two Gentlemen—fur they were such in appearance— seeing this, made off, end eluded all the exertions of the witness. The witness said he had lost many valuable articles in this way. Ti.prisoner made no resistance on his apprehending him; and, in his defence, said, that he was standing at the Mansion-house gate, when two Gentlemen came up to him, and one of them, bearing the glass in question, asked him if he was a porter, and giving him the glass, told bins to follow them, which he did ; but he had not the glass five minutes in his possession before the last witness came up and stopped him, and he told him, in answer to his question, where he got the glass, and pointed to the two Gentlemen, saying it was frons them he got it ; be knew nothing more about the glass or the two Gentlemen. Mr. Mathews corroborated the last part of the prisoner's defence. Mr. Alderman .ITKINs said that there were so many deceptions and frauds of this kinti practised on the citizens of London, and so many persons participating in :hem under the general name of por ter, that he thought he would nut be doing his duty if he should discharge the prisoner, unless he brought forward most respectable and unexceptionable testimoni as to character; 1w would there. fore give him a few days for that purpose ; and he was remanded accordingly. Hciary Lane was brought up, charged with a felony.—Mr. Thos. Jones deposed he lives iu the City-mad, and is a ginger•hetr and soda-water manufacturer. Ile had occasion to go into Cheapside on Monday, and leaving hi; gig at hi; friend's duor, went in but on his return he found a valuable great-coat had been taken front the gig, and on looking round. flaw the Frisoner in the custody of an officer, and the coat in the officer's possession. Ryan, the officer, stated that he saw the prisoner walking up and down by the gig, and st,:vning very anxious and intent upon something ; lee thererofe watched hint, when he saw him come up to the gig, and whilst patting the horse with one hand, he removed the coat with the other. ►le then eh-parted, but witness soon se cured lint.—The prisoner made no defence.—lle was committed to New,;.,te fur trial, and the parties bound over to prosecute. • 11A TTON- G A RIMS. IMPaRTANT TO BENEFI r Sorieries.—Yesterday the Treasurer of the Somers' Town Female Union Society appeared to a summons taken out by a Mrs. Smith, to shew cause why lie refused to pay her the sum of fifteen guineas, to• which she was entitled, by the rules of the Society, on the death cif h..r husband, who had de sirnyed !Muscle in a fit of insanity. The Treasurer, in answer to her demand, stated, that by one of the Rules of the Society, it WAS lice aced, thzt no Member of the Society should be entitled to an, henent from it who committed suicide, unless they were satis fied the was at the time insane. Although the Coroners' Jury bad rzturned a verdict of insanity, the Society refused to pay. *rise Mieg: , :rate (Mr. Serjeart Srews) said, that rule did not app:y to this ease. The rule w. s, if any Memher committed sui cide, &c. I:: this case, it was the husband of a Member, who bad destroyed himself, and the money must therefore be paid. A not respectable looking young man applied for a summons agaii:;t a watchman, for a gross dereliction of duty. Ile stated that last night, as he was passing by the Angel Inn, at Islington, three dandies, for a bit of a lark, tripped hint up, and otherwise ill zre.ate4 him. lie charged them on the se.itch, which they retorted oil him ; however, on reaching the watt:b./muse, he found that they had slipped something into the hood of the watchman, by which • they slipped ibronah his fingers and made their escape.—The sum- , nio.ts was immei'leely granted. Nciegiart, a young girl, only fifteen years of age, was brought to the Office, charged with having stolen two pieces of cotton from the shop of Mr. Pemberton, linen-draper, in S:. John -street, Clerketiwell. His shopman said that this girl (who is in the service of a respectable family) has been in the habit of oc ca4ioi:ally purchasing some trifling articles at his shop, and that on Thursday evening last she came in, and after selecting a piece of cotton, left a shilling deposit to have it kept for her, and then went away ; she was seen, however, to take the property in question, and was immediately secured. The most repectable character was given of her parents. She was fully committed for trial. DARING Foarrertv.—Yesterday a lad named Howell, only thirteen years of age, who was remanded until this day, was brought up upon a charge of forgery, under the following circumstances :—lt appeared that he had been about three months in the employment of Mr. Anderson, law-stationer, Southampton-buildings, Holborn, and some days ago he was sent to the bank of Messrs. Brooks and Dixon, Chancery-lane, for a blank cheque book. On receiving it, he contrived to take out some of the blank leaves, and accordingly went on Thursday last, and presented a cheque with Mr. Ander son's signature to it for twelve pounds seven shillings. The clerk to whom lie had offered it suspecting its genuineness, sent for Mr. Anderson's chief clerk, who pronounced it a palpable forgery. The boy was immediately taken into custody, and brought to this Of fice on Thursday night last. As, however, Mr. Anderson was not in town, the investigation of the case was deferred until this day, that Mr. Anderson should personally attend. After waiting fur a considerable time, intimation was given that the prosecutor would not come forward, and the boy was accordingly discharged. Yesterday Anus Morris, a gigantic blacksmith, was charged by a respectable Professional Gentleman, with committing a most scan dalous and wanton assault on his person. It appeared that about nine o'clock the preceding evening, as the complainant was on his way home from Spafields, he met the prisoner in a beastly state of intoxication, just after getting up out of a filthy pool into which he had fallen. On complainant attempting to leave the way, the pri soner grasped him in both arms, and pressed him to the wall, and began to clean himself by rubbing against him. The watchman coming up, he gave the prisoner in charge.—Ordered to hod MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday T. Power and J. l'onikitu, alias were charged before Sir G. ?wawa., on suspicion of having broken into and robbed the wine cellar of hit. Lumley, an extensive wine -merchant, whose cellars are at the corner of Bateman's-buildings, Soho-square. It appeared front the statement, that on the 17th of March last, as the watchman on that beat-was passing, at six o'clock in the morning, he was alarmed at finding that the door-way, entrance on the foot-way, into Mr. Lumley's cellar was forced open. When be bad passed an hour before all was secure; he immediately gave the alarm ; and on examining the cellar, it was discovered that a quantity of wine was carried off, and nearly a half-puncheon of va luable brandy, of twenty years old, which Mr. Lumley valued at one guinea a quart. The prisoners were apprehend e d un d er susp i c i ous c i rcumstances, but the evidence did not bring the offence home to them. Sir Chcoaoa Fasaaar said, the circumstances were so strong as to leave nkteasonable doubt of their guilt ; but, as the evidence did not bring tLe charge directly home to them, he, after cautioning them to take care of themselves, as a strict eye would be kept on them, ordered them to be discharged. tOIsttIALL BODY STRALINO.—The wife of a poor man named Adams, lately deceased, applied to the Magistrate for the assistance of al officer, to recover the body of her husband, which was stolen away from her house in Trafalgar-street, Walwortb, a few nights ago.— She slated, that her husband had been for some time afflicted wilt a complaint which baffled the skill of his medical attendants, and bis death took plate on Monday last. The day after his deceale, one of the surgeons who attended him requested that he might be permitted to open the body, for the purpose of ascertaining the real state of the disease, saying it was one . of a very peculiar nature, nr d that it would greatly benefit the " Profession" to discover thr diseased organ. Upon that inspection, the surgeon perceived tit the heart of the deceased was affected in a most sintilar mane and this circumstance became generally known about the bourhood, where many of the resurrection-men live. The bi is having been put into a coffin, and placed in a back room on the first floor, theikelations were all summoned to the funeral, fixed for Saturday last; hut, to their horror, they discovered t the corpse, together with the shroud, had been stolen c . , night, and ro trace remained behind except the empty co , fil;i. Mr. CHAMBERS observed, that if the porrsons emit tHe disgraceful robbery were apprehended, and the fact shrev having been stolen along with the body proved, lie (the .\ I t4str at ,, would have no hesitation in committing the parties for burglary. Pople, the officer, was then directed to go in search of the ba,f of the deceased, which he succeeded in finding on the dissecting table of an Anatomist at the Weir-end of the town. It was im mediately delivered up to him, and lie restored it to the relatives, who manifested their gratitude for the recovery. The body -steal re have not yet been discovered. A FEMALE RASTER.—Sonday morning last a female Rat:tcr preached two sermons in a barn at Chester-le. Street. After each sermon collections were made te, wards defraying the rent and other expenses of a room to be used as a chapel. A great number of people attende.l out cf curiosity, but very little money was collected. Ten weeks since a puppy l nine months old, belongiu z to :\lr. Thomas Wdilarns, coachmaster, Reading, swal lowed a piece of pork short bones, in which an ;Ten skewer six inches long was sticking. The poor animal suffet . ed very considerably, in consequence, till Tuesday la,t, when the end of the skewer was observed to ptc trnde on the near side by the shoulder-blade bone. A cork was faAtened on the point of it to prevent its a;',aitt working into the al's bo , ly, and half an hour alter the puppy was observed to rake the cm k in its mouth and draw the skewer out. It is now quite well. Tuesday sennight, a little boy, son of Mr. Lewis, of the Rose and Crown Inn, Seven Oaks, 10-t his hie in tl.c following manner :—A pig had been slatightete3, and two tubs of boiling water placed in the yard f , r the purpose of scalding the animal, which being plunged into the water, occasioned a splashing of the :iquid, some of which falling on the face of the bob, he ran backwards, and falling into the adjoining tub, was to scalded that he died the next day. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—Monday night, a boat with passengers from Greenwich Fair to town, having eleven persons on hoard, in passing Mr. Kaine's wharf, came in contact with a coal-barge, when the boat was upset, and the entire party, except the boatman and an infant abcut eight months old, were drowned.

The unfortunate man instantly fell to the ground, and was raised by some persons who came to his assistance, by whom he was conveyed home, and surgical aid was instantly procured for him. Jenkins, as soon as he had carried his design into execution, forthwith repaired to the Police-office, and procured an assault warrant against his master for the blow he struck him.
