" Jamaica, June _5. 4 Late on Saturday afternoon we were favoured with the follow ing interesting account of a successful enterprise against the pirates: " Captain Harris, in the flotilla under his command, after exer tions and privations on the part of the officers and men, far beyond praise or description, succeeded in burning, in the Rivets of the Isle of Pines and in the neighbourhood, the following piratical vessels; vs•—l'epe',t felucca, a new vessel, which had been only on one cruise, armed with one nine pounder, one six pounder, and one two pounder; Carmen schooner ; a clinker-built schooner; a felucca rigged boat, one nine-pounder; thirty-eight feet row-boat, and three large piratical canoes. Of the pirates, seven have been shot, and five taken prisoners, to meet the retribution they have earned. The remaining part of the felucca's crew can scarcely escape, being hunted down by the force left at the Isle of Pines, under the order. of Captain Graham, of the Icarus. " Cy the Speedwell schooner, 4, Mr. Geary Commander, we learn that since the sailing of the Hussar, 46, Captain G. Harris, C.B. two more piratical prisoners had been taken at the Isle of Pines, and another pirate killed. Captain Graham, of the Icarus, 10, was left scouring the island, in search of the remaining portion of Pepe's marauders, end was to return to Port Royal in about ten days after the departure of the Speedwell. It was expected that the crews of the piratical flotilla (which we have already stated to have been completely destroyed) would all fall into the hands of the party engaged in the pursuit."

ARCTIC EXPEDITION., We have been favoured with the sight of a letter re cently received by a Naval O ffi cer in Cornwall, from an Otlicer connected with the expedition which lately left this country for the purpose of proceeding by land to explore the shores of the Arctic Sea, from Repulse Bay, of which the following extract will, we doubt not, be acceptable to our readers: " His Majesty'► discovery sleop,G straw, Sttomness, July 2,1824.

LAW REPORT. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 25. DAVIDSON V. THOMPSON. This was an action to recover the sum of 3451. prin cipal and interest on a bond, and promissory note, for 2 )01. and 261. ss. The bond and note were both lost, but proof of their existence and execution were given, and also, that the most diligent search was made to dis cover them. Several letters of the defendant were also read, acknowledging the debt for which the bond and note were given.—Verdict for the plaintiff-3421. 18s. MEDLAND V. KNIGHT AND LACEY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, under certain statutes, against the defendants, for having piratically published certain engravings of Thurtell, Hunt, and Probert. Mr. ADOLPHUS, i stating the case, observed, that the plaintiff was a very expectable engraver, and had taken likenesses of those haracters when in Court at Heft• ford, in the month of December last. Cribb, of Hol. born, was Mr. Medland's agent here, and there was every probability that the sale would have realised large profits for Mr. Medland. All of a sudden, how ever, the demand ceased, and Mr. Cribb looked about to ascertain the cause, and he found that Messrs. Knight and Lacey had published a history of the transactions concerning Thurtell, Hunt, and Probert, to which they annexed portraits taken from the labour of Mr. Med land, and sold the book for 2s. Mr. Medland, in taking the likeness of one of those persons, gave him a peculiar tie of the cravat and appearance of the shoulders, which he would prove to have been copied by the defendants. The next subject for consideration would be the damage sustained by the plaintiff, in having his hopes disap pointed of making a considerable sum from the public curiosity to have possession of the portraits of these cri minals. Every one knew that the portrait of Blood, who attempted to steal the Crown, was more an object of curiosity than that of Charles 1 1. the rightful owner of the Crown. So it was in this case, and he hoped, that because the parties were criminals, it would not be considered therefore that their portraits were of no value. The reverse was the fact, for it so happened that public curiosity was often more excited by extraordi nary criminals than by persons of exalted virtue. The plaintiff had his property stolen behind his back, and now claimed such fair compensation as would make amends for the loss he had sustained. There was no defence, and the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Dansages 501. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY 26. HALL V. DUMAS& - This was an action brought by the assignee of a bank rupt named Harris, to recover the amount of a bill of exchange for 691. drawn by a person named Bond, and accepted by the defendant. The defence was, first,.that the bankrupt Harris was a bill-broker, and as such was not a trader within the operation of "the bankrupt laws; it was also set up, that no consideration had been given for the bill, and a notice was served on the plaintiff, calling on him to prove the consideration. Evidence was given of the trading of the bankrupt Harris as a bill-broker, of the act of bankruptcy, and of the petitioning creditor's debt. This was plaintiff's case. Mr. Serjeant Oast.ow, for the defendant, here ob mewed, that a notice had been served upon the plaintiff, Balling upon him to prove the consideration given by the bankrupt for the bill in question, and he submitted, that the plaintiff having omitted to give such proof, had failed in his action, and must be called. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN, for the plaintiff, contended, that it was not necessary for him to enter into any awl proof, unless it appeared by evidence that his title was impeached. The Loan Cams Jorncs—This is a point which ban not been weed upon by the Judges; but I believe it has been frequently bald by Lard ffnenborough, and by the present Chief Justice of the King's Bench, that the claimants on a bill of exchange were bound to give proof el coosideraden when called upon. Mr. Serjeant Vatontax.—My Lord, with great respect I submit that tids is quite new doctrine. The Loao Cum Josses—Brother Vaughan, it is no suck thing. It is not new doctrine ; on the contrary, it is doctrine which has obtained from the time of Lord Mansfield down to the pre seat day. Mr. liesjeant Vauesan—T apprehend man this Court, my Lord. I have been practising in this Court for the last live and twenty years, and in that time I have not known an instance of a plaintiff being called upon to prove the consideration for a bill of exchange, because a notice to that effect had been given by defendant, unless his title to the bill had been impeached. Such a doctrine, I sub mit, is mike novel. The Loan Cum Jurrics.—Really, I think I have some reason to complain of the manner in which lam treated. I now hold in my bands the authority on which I made my uatement. Mr. Serjeaat V•oon.sn—(Haeding a book to his Lordship)— Will your Lordship allow me to refer you to a very excellent au. thoti ns ta p o: which my assertion is founded ? This, my Lord, is " 's Book on Evidence," the second volume. In the text of page 15, your Lordship will and the very point in dispute clearly explained. He says— If the title of the plaintiff as holder is brought into sespietan by a witness called an the part of the plaintiff, Ise ought to prove the condderadeo. although there has not been a notice to that effect; but if no suspicion arises upon the plaindff's ems be will not be obliged. even after notice, to prove it, MIMI his tide has been impeached." The case referred to in the notes, from which these remarks arose, is that of 0 Delaunay is. Mitchell." Now my Lard . I apprehen d , that unless the law is m it is hero laid dew% the whole of the commercial transactions ot the cursory would soon get into irretrievable confusion. Lord Chief Justice Borr.--Nethwithstanding all this, brother Vaughan, I moot help expressing my surprise, that the statement which I made should be considered as such very novel doctrine; and that it should be added, that until the question is settled, the whole of the commercial transactions of the country must remain in confusion. Mr. Serjeant VaeoessaMy Lord, I only meant to point out to your Lordship that Lord Elleaborough held that the plaintiff, in sit'. counstances like the present, could not be called upon to prove the oessideraticm. I beg, with great respect, to repeat, that I have never Mown an instants to the contrary. I have never known any In. elsesse of the kind in this Court, nor do I believe that there is is die books any authority for such a practice. Lord Chief Joules Bier---There is, brother Vaughan, • case es 'sloe rim wk.* I mentioned, to be found in the last Term Itsperes Is le idle. Ilidy Swab a Judge to have it held • out than be le I Walthrikilasallinees lad balding doctrines never before IV ett I it is vales use*. . Seim* Vametax.—My Lord, I never meant to put my observation in that way; but I repeat, with every respect for the Court, that I never knew an instance in which a plaintiff was called =:is prove the consideration tor a bill, unless, as I have already ed, something wseidow bad appeared from the examinadon of his own witnesses. I sow beg to call your Lordship's attention to the case of " Paterson v. Hardacre," to 4th Taunton, in which your Lordship was Carmel. Lord Chief Judd Bes....Dtothre.Vaughau, I Asti ammo Your case as proved at present, giving defendant leave to move hereafire• Mr. Serjeant Vauonax-..My Lord, I shall object to having any thing placed on the record which is at all doubtful; for I do not wish that my client should be put to unnecessary expense. Lord Chief ju.tite Beer—Brother Vaughan, undoubtedly the possession of a bill olexchange is prima facie evidence of a debt, and Goo forbid that should be otherwise; but if a bill should be fraudulently obtained of the defendant, it is quite clear that at some stage or other of the proceedings, the plaintiff must prove the con sideration gi ven f or i t . Mr. Serjeant Vat:muss—My Lord, with gat re I deny that proposition : it begs the whole question. With submission, I deny that at any time, except under the circumstances I have already stated, the plaintiff can be called upon to prove the consideration. Lord Chief Justice Beet.--Beotber Vaughan, let the case pro ceed.—Evidence was now called for the purpose of stewing that this was an accommodation bill, and that Harris had never given any consideration for the MIL This was rebutted by evidence on the part of the plaintiff, which went to spew that Harris bad given bank checks for the bill. Mr. Serjeant °mow replied to the new evidence, and Mr. Serjeant Vanonar was about to reply to the case, when Lord Chief Justice Bar observed, that it was unnecessary. He' was of opinion that the trading by the bankrupt was fully esta blished, and that it brought him within the operation of the bank ruptcy laws. He also thought there was sitient evidence of the property of the bankrupt in the bill. The Jury also expressed themselves atis6ed on those points, and returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £72, being the amount of the principal and interest since the bill became due. PUGILISM. THREE FIGHTS YESTERDAY. Immortal twenty-sixth of July, be thou consecrated to the Patron Saint of the Ring, for years have passed since so much of the real spirit of contention has been exhibited! First, there is White headed Bob, alias Bob Baldwin, alias Bob the Bruiser, alias Bob Beat'emblind, and O'Neale, the Streatham Youth, both furious for fame, fancy, and fifty. Secondly, two commoners, hatters—silt against beaver, their quarrel private and particular, posting their own blunt. T hirdly, Langan 's Miksian (O'Neill) and Ben Burn's nephew—two colts untried—blood against blunders, and five-and twenty a-side • and last and lightest, tae new Bristolian Baylis, and the new lonian Ebecinety, with eleven stone and eighteen golden pounds between them—these are the joys of these milling days, and these are the tempting promises of this day in particular. Early to bed the night before a fight, and early to rise the morning of it, the old adage recommends— what was pleasant was mere prudence just now, as both-man and beast found their interest in getting the road over before the noon-day sun. The road low much of its character by the straggling manner in which the high-mounted -and the dismounted found their way, but the baking-shops.cc*. sionally made a collection full of slang sauciness and six insides, with one horse to be singular; and one cart to be sodable.—But we have get on the road without saying where we are going—To ilhoppenon Range, because, though Colebrook was first named, It doss not lie in the way of our jolly Boniface at Hampton, with whom the Fancy are in high favour, and who has found a poor ex change in the piety of the Magistrate, who protested against mill- Ins at Monkey, for the practical profits of the pugilists and their followers. So the high way to Shepperton being in his line, it was booked at head-quarters, well knowing that no old stager, either man or brute, would pass without a mouthful, or without running his head into the Lion's mouth at Hampton. Well, then, all these preliminaries being premised, the stakes were pitched at Shepper ton, in a snug meadow about twenty miles from London. The men were all in readiness, and as Whiteheaded Bob and O'Neale are named first to begin, let it be recollected that Bob is a lad of great promise; though beaten at starting by Ward, be has raised a good name by a series of successes, and is fancied asa leader of the second rates. O'Neal., the ex-StreathamYouth, has never been con quered, and is thought a trump by his supporters. A more eves match could not be—equal in weight, (12st. 41b.) height and strength, remarkable alike for solidity of frame and symmetryohe men were without a point between, but the little difference was in favour of Bob, by those only who calculated his science and qquickness as superior. Both felt equally confident, and the caotiobnwn were almost at fault for a choice, when a match for a hundred a-side was agreed on. Soon after reports to Bob'. disadvantage were in cir =laden. He was mid to be unwell, and the odds gradually rose on the Youth, until they reached 8 and 7 to 4 the night before the battle. Takers were easily had; and it was, if Bob was not right, O'Neale had the rheumatiens.mad it was hang choice between them. The stakes were pkehed at Shepperton; but just ...the order to king in the men was given, a Gentleman rade up ; and though op a bay gelding, caused as muck dismay as Death on the Pale Horse s CLl:nest's pencil, is engaged in. Scroggins blushed blue like s d, and Gibbons growled like* mastiff, when the named Magistrate was announced. It was an appalling appellation, and terror and dismay marked the before.exhilamted countenances of the crowd. The Gentleman rode up a la mditaire, and rehab. up his horse, exalted himself in his stirrups, and begged the stun don of the Master of the Revels. " I ant Colonel Wood, and a Magistrate. I have been called on to preserve the peace, and to stop this fight; I am very sorry to interfere, but I must do my duty." Gibbons, who is a good judge of situation, raised himself to an e El l e levation vation with the Colond, by the aid of a taxed cart, and re " Unused as I am to public speaking, I rise to protest—(the . crate looked gloomy). Let us fight, your Honour," says Bill. dropping from his stilts," and we shall have all over in two hours." 0 The farmers," answered the Colonel, " complain that their men are seduced from their harvest work, and have required me to in terfere. When you came here before I was also called on, but I said it was only a cricket match, and went another road, but you are coming so soon again, that we must give you a decided notice to quit." " But, your Honour,"—demurred Mil again. "It can not be, my friend," rejoined the Colonel; "as I have come to the ground, you must decamp, for if the fight went on, and an acci dent occurred, I should be held responsible." " Right," sang out Old Time-a-day, and thus ended the palaver between the Colonel and the Commissary. " Where to next r was the question—" To Chertsty, Noble Lord," poetically put in Jack Randall; and on his suggestion the whole cavalcade crossed the river and fled from Middlesex for refuge into Surrey. "We will try it on," said Gib bons, grinning ironically, and the name of " Try," in large letters over the next inn, ,hewed there was meaning in his mumping.— On reaching the town of Chertsey, and thus entering upon a new county, but a short time elapsed before a convenient spot was ob tained for a fresh encampment. A field within a hundred yards of the bridge-end was, with the consent of the proprietor, taken pos session of; a new ring was formed, and all the other necessary ar rangements were quickly and conveniently accomplished. This was productive of the advantages of a second collection of gate money, and all who entered, although they had paid for admission on the other side of the water, were now drown& second time. The re ceipts, which were considerable, went to the waif(-itary chest of the staff. About this titre, Whiteheaded Bob arrived, with hisbackers, in a dashing calash, with four horses, but so altered from illness, that it was seen at once his job was done. A word in the ear of his friends put them down to a thing out of the common way. " Bob shan't fight—back again, post-boy," and back again to London went the Bobbery. So there is an end to the grand fight of the day. His friends said it was cruelty to let him right in bad condition against a man in prime health, and, very handsomely, were ready to forfeit the hundred for him. But here comes in the special pleading. As Bob went to the ground nominated by the articles, he was not bound to go further. So says the law, but it is yet un known whether the high blood of the backers will take advantage of the point. Then, in the words of the mortal bard of Duck-lane —Go along, go along Bob—get well, and you must win. The principal battle being off, the second affair rose to unex pected importance, and after various delays and counter marches, Burn's nephew and O'Neill, Langan's Patlander, threw up their hats. Ben Burn and Oliver waked on the nephew, and Langan and Crawley waited on the Medan. Burn is a youth peculiarly mild and quiet in his manner, and of an interesting expression of countenance. O'Neill is a big:beaded pumpkin-faced Paddy man— e rum one to look at. but a devil to fight. He shook hands with his opponent with a hearty laughing accompaniment, and then re tiring to his second's knee, while the needful was doing, whistled Roodiestos, a favourite air of the great Brian Boro, when he beat the Danes at Clontarf—(vide O'Halloran, vol. iii. page 65). The Irishman's colour was green, and Burn sported a chocolate ker- 1 chief with a white spot. When all was ready, Langan rose in his pumps, and begged to make one observation--" Let us have a quiet and pleasant ring — no arguments or altercations." Bravo, Jack ! but take care that law makers are not law breakers. THE FIGHT. When the men were put on the ground, the great disparity be tween them was apparent. O'Neill wore the head, shoulders, and arms of a young Cyclops, and Burn was a thin boy before him. It was a horse to a ben, or St. Paul's to St. Pancras. " It is a thane to bring them together," says Tom Cribb, in his love of fair play. O'Neill was over thirteen stone, Burn about eleven and a half. Betting erten to four, and two to one on the Irishman. It was expected that Pat would pound his man to mince-meat in a few rounds, and on setting-to, an anxious and painful feeling pervaded the whole ring for the fate of the bold-hearted young commoner.— Barn stood well in attitude, clean en his pins, with his bands well _ •Ps all amass, awl Paden. 0% showed at awe bs did ma know bb trade. He carried Lb lek band nearly as low as the bip, and his right limb was half cocked. neither It to hit ow atop ; as to hi , legs, they seemed more in his way than awful in inidlig Ids carcase. Round 1. Sparring for a short time, Burn on the look out. Pat In motion, but no meaning in his step. Burn hit short with the left, and planted his right on the ribs—shouts for the first hi. Pi bored in, Burn waited and caught him on coming with a lush hit on the mouth that set his teeth a chattering—(An uproar of shoots for Burn). O'Neill put up his hand to his mouth, to feel if his lips were left him; then, furious with passion, ran at his man like a wild bull. Burn backed out of his way, and tickled him with jobbers, and then letting himself down, escaped a rush and a blow that would have sickened a bigger man---(Loud cheering for Burs). 2. O'Neill came up smiling, and Bern fighting to order. Pat was ignorant of lints, and be stood within distance, uncertain what to be at. Burn manneavred, and timed him with a smasher on the forehead. O'Neill shook his head, and went bang again into the same trap : Burn caught him with the right on the side of the head, and his knuckles cut like a chisel through the hair and skin to the bone—sharp practice that. Pat's arms seemed locked to the shoulder ; he neither stopt, nor tried to bit but once, when be made a half blow half a mile from his man. Burn sprung well away, O'Neill biting his lips, willing but quite ignorant how to go to work—Burn went down again, when he found the Mileslan close on him. It was evident that Pat was a game man, but without an idea of iilbting. The ring ware delighted with Burn's manliness and science, and astonished at his usecution, but it was still doubtful if he could last long enough to finish such a full-grown customer. 3. Paddy came to the scratch streaming with gore from the head) his mouth pumping blood in torrents, and his left eye all but closed. Langan jumping wild about—" That's the way to hit, my hooey!" suiting the action to the word; " new. Jack—fight Jack!" Lars. gan's Irish ardour for his friend did not suit John Bull's notions off a second's coolness, and some violent hissing took place, ungenerous against the country, the principal, and second. O'Neill could not fight—his left hand was mere lumber, and his right a log. Langan told him to wait fur his man, instead of sending him in to fight, and the simple subject, fighting to order, waited within distance. Burn watching the working of his right hand, and as he drew it back in sparring, hit bang over it. Poor O'Neill hit he Wei not how, looking stupid for a moment, then pulling up his damoirs, ran at Burn, who knew better than to wait for him. &MK ran bins. self over, assisted by a slight-hit, which looked like a knock-down blow to those remote in the ring, which set up thundering applause for the young one. 4. (YNeill's face was a horrid picture ; lass of blood made him weak a little, and Burn was also offering from his heavy exertions. Langan did all he could to encourage his man—" Walt for him, Jack ; you have not a scratch worth talking of." " Seeing Is be lieving, but feeling has no fellow ;" and the Native's contortions of face threw great doubts on his second' assertion. Burn brought his right band to bear on the eye, and the burr of the ear, and then flush on the nose with the left. Paddy felt for his nose, pulled up his drawers again, and rushed in for a rally. Burn broke ground, re peated the one, two, and then dropped, to escape returns. 5. O'Neill's left eye was dosed altogether. He is an enemy to the Window Tax and shuts out the light. Langan still ordered him to wait fur his man ; but, as before, he was always caught napping, Burn was hit lightly on the mouth, and then dropped for safety. 6. The Irishman followed Burn to every part of the ring ; but when he tot within length, he could not bring his hands to work. Burn jobbed him repeatedly, and closed the right eye. Both win dows blind.—Burn went down again. 7. O'Neill had strength enough to win if he could lay hold of his man, but Burn was too slippery for him. He bored him to the ropes, and catching him with the left band, Bung Burn down. 8. O'Neill at last went in to work and bit out, Burn dropped again. " Halloo, Pat, which way did the bull run?' Burn's friends lectured him to be steady, and Langan all anxiety for his man ' ab solutely sucked his eye to clear the blood. Jack's heart is in the right place. 9. O'Neill was almost bfind, and followed in the straight line he misplaced against his man. He had merely a glimmer of light. Bern still maintained his system, and went down. 10. Burn made play, but was hit heavily in the mouth. Fight that way O'Neill, and you must win--only hit away and you have it. Burn measured him again, and kept the veins open. Burn rather weakly, and the fight not yet safe. 11. Paddy felt for his man, and then tried to go to work—Burn broke away to the ropes, and caught him again and again—O'Neill peeked his right hand like a poker in his face—if he even did that often he must win. Burn went down. 12. O'Neill was sent in to fight, but it was the day after the fair. He could not see, and all his hits, if hits they were, were wild and straggling. 13. O'Neill gave something, but received a stunner on the side of the bead. He extended his right hand at full length, and stopped Burn's left in that way. Burn again down.—(Langan, " Keep quiet, my lad ; we are not to be hunted.")—Langan's deportment was, throughout the fight, most amusing. He was in attitude with the palm of the hand, laying down the law for O'Neill, and then jumping like a wild man to every part of the ring. " Now, my Lze7ell—fight, Jack. Remember the widow, my darling! Oh, ! 'els nothing. Look in his face, Jack. Burn, you're beat. Take him awe/; he has no chance. Think on the widow— fighting greed. 14. Burn with great dexterity bit O'Neil between his guard— Rush in the face. O'Neill shook with vexation. He rallied like a madman, but Burn again went down. 15, 16, 17. The Irishman rather got up in favour these rounds. He caught Burn's arm, and punished hint a little, but he was too stupid to use the advantage to its full extent. In the 20th. Burn turned the current again in his favour, and lby breaking ground and perpetually jobbing the Irishman, he re doced him to perfect weakness. O'Neill's head was a piteous and ghastly spectacle—be was a shocking exhibition, and only stood to be hit at. After fighting 31 rounds in 50 minutes, in which he never took the lead, his seconds gave in for him, his game never forsaking him to the last. 0111111tVATIOWIL—O ' Neill is a mere chopping-block. He must dig snurphies, and quit the ring for ever. Burn, who has covered him self with glory, is only twenty years old, five feet ten, anti under twelve stone. Ile is one of Spring's caution, and a Jan Belcherlighter. He has been taught by his uncle, Ben Burn. to become a better man than his master. He is a iamb in manners, and a lion in =what ; fearless of injury he delivers his blows with force, and With a heavy man like O'Neill he performed prodigies. He lonia met be fought again for a year; and as he is an abstemious and well behaved young man. he will then tell the best of them about ea- Miry in the championship. There was another fight between two hatters, for their own money. Won by Mason from Amos. The third and last battle was for a purse, between a Bristol lad, Baylis, and Ebecinety, a new man , both eleven stone. It was a fine specimen of skill and manlineai. Baylis was the winner, after forty minutes hard fighting. This same Baylis will prove a first rate man of his weight. Jowl.
