T he fight betwein these men, for five-and-twenty pounds a side, took place yesterday, upon a " tight little island," called eerily Hook, formed by a bend of the river Thames, close to Staines Lock. A more de- sirable spot for such an exhibition could not have been selected. It could only be approached by foot passengers; and a small but delightful piece of turf was surrounded by elevated banks, from which the specta tors, if they had been so minded, could have corn-- manded a perfect view of the sport. Although few in number, however, the assembled crowd, or a por tion of them, were anything but orderly, and a scene of confusion, highly disgraceful, was the consequence. The combatants were both practised students in their profes sion: the one, Raines, being a member of the Milling University of London; and the other, Perkins, of she Pugnacious University of Oxford. Perkins had attained high honours among his compeers at Oxford, while Raines had equally distinguished himself in the metro. politan classes. In point of weight Raines had the ad vantage, being rather more that, ten stone, while Per kins weighed but 9st. 12lb. Raines'too, from the cele brity of his school, was the favourite and was backed, although not to any very great extent, at S and 6 to 4. Both had the advantage of regular training—Raines at Child's Hill, Hampstead; and Perkins under the able auspices of old Shirley, of the New Inn, Staines. It is but proper to • state too, that Raines, fiom having been backed by small subscriptions, was not brought to the scratch with that degree of attention Which was calcu lated to give him confidence. Still he spoke lightly ot his antagonitt, and booked winning as a'ceitaiisty. Shortly before one o'cle,ck the men entered the arena, Perkins aitencled by Tom Spritbg and Tom Gaynor, and Raines by Tom Oliver and young Dutch Sam. The sun shone with grenpower, and the advantage for chirosing the position for "setting-tn was won by Perkins, 14 1)0, ilt course, kopt the is ot his opponent an view of old Sol. ••. THE Mkt Rowe 1. On coming to the scratch, there was a marked con. trust in the frames of the men, Perkins being slim and lengthy in his limbs. while Raines was broader and more muscular. Kach eyed the other with confidence, and little bate was lost before bedew commenced. Perkin sfirst broke ground, and popped in a jobbing hit with his right ois Raines's cheek-.-mutual stops fol lowed right and left, When Raines put in his right and left slighily. "Pickles returned at the body with his left and retreated ; he then came again to the charge and a "irked rally followed, in which heavy hits were exchanged in favour of Perkins, who drew first blood front the side of Raines's nose and under his eye • hr them got well away, and showed great activity on his pins. They again closed for mischief, when Perkins delivered right and left, but was met pecttily in return on the nob. Perkins again retreated, and' Raines followed bias to the curner of the ring, where another rally took place, and the stopping and hitting were excellent. Perkins, who bad the worst of close quarters, at length broke out from the corner, and got to the centre of the ring, where a desperate rally Followed, and fine stand-up fighting was exhibited on both aides. At last Perkins *as bit down with a counter hit from * the left, and front the length and severity of the round showed symptoms of piping. The friends of Raines were uproarious, and cirued to the ropes in spite et every eienion. 2. Raines planted his left on the breast of Perkins, and stopped his resent. • Perkins stopped Raities's left With great neatness, but napped it on the'nose in a second trial.

Raines haw his man a little abroad, and jobbed him severely right and left. Perkins fought faith its, and aside some good returns, but was a little confuted, which the vociferations is favour of Baines rather increased. Ac keeth.afterst *were rally, Perkins was bit down.. S. Perkins a kttle but game. He made one or two pretty mops with his right-'but caught it on the nozzle (more claret).

The force of the blows were however evidently in favour of Perkins, who allowed least punishment. 7. Rain!s rushed in to close fighting, and Perkins retreated to the ropes, where severe hitting was interchanged. It was manly stand-op fighting. severe for each, but in the end Perkins was Hewn—(Oreat uproar on the part of liaines's friends). S.

The men continued to fight—Perkins down. it. Perkins came up collected and steady. and pot in a trenten does jobbing•hk with bit left; Raines returned at his body with the right ;'fferkins was with him again right and lets on the head ; a fierce rally followed, and several bits were given rather in favour of Perkins. In the close, too, Perkins gut the 14111(Sinints tot Psalm)). IS. Perkins stopped in the ntest scientific style with his right, and lobbed with his left ; fine usably fighting onisoth sides. each in f or k codling dirripkirwnts from the right or left. In the Close • diens, end not a pin to choose between them. 14..1i0dl rather wild ; good exchanges and both down. 19. Perkins showed pest Self.possession, stopped well, and ap. rend to bees gm kis second Wind; a determined rally, in which Perkins got well away front the corner, and both had It Da the nob and body. Raines felt to making a right.banded bit. The same style of fighting crntinued to the twentieth round. There was no want of courage on either side but Perkins, as he went on, showed sup-rior tact—his hitting and getting away were admirable—while his stopping showed his self possession throughout. In this round it was two to one in favour of Perkins ; and from thence to the 25th, he maintained a decided superiority.: In the last round he hit Raines terrifically right and left in the head. and once in the body. and at length hit him down weak. On rising to his second's knee, Ratites had evidently got enough, and in plain terms said he would cheese it (cut it), which he did. The fight lasted forty four minutes. REMARES.—Perkins, by this victory, has acquired new claims to favour—the more especially, as a party was present who most dishonourably announced that Jem Raines should not lose, and who seemed prepared at all hanards to carry their threats into execution. —Although at first abroad, he soon recovered his self•possession, and throughout the remainder of the tight, exhibited a knowledge of the fistic art, and a readiness at defence and attack seldom equalled, and not often excelled by some of the oldest veterans of the ring. His stopping and returns were inimitable, and his esti icating himself whegin trouble ss as equal:) , gOod— while his unflinching cdnrage was the admiration of the impartial observers. If any thing, he has practised too mach with the gloves ; but still his deliveries were extremely effective, and in point or punishment Raines had it in the ratio of two to one. Perkins only showed a slight incision over each eye, which, with a few bruises on the fae\and body, constituted the sum of his sufferings, and on being declared the winner, he ran off with the activity of a greyhound. JACK LENNEY AND YOUNG BROWN. While the sports were going on in the neighbourhood of &aloes, these light weights were contending for 201. a side at the Ferry House, opposite Woolwich. Both men had arrived at half past twelve, and were in the ring to set-to at three minutes to one. Lenney looked exceedingly well, and showed -beautiful muscle —he wore blue colours; he rated his weight at 9st.4lb. Brown is a handsome youth of about 19; he looked like a lady's darling. He stood over Jack considerably— but if any thing he was rather lat ; he weighed, lie said,' 10 stone—he wore yellow. Brown was the first to shy his castor; it lay fair in the middle, at the scratch. Jack, when he shyed his, was not so steady in his aim, for it hurled outside. That by the Fancy was set down as a fatal omen. Lenney won the toss for the son.-1 Lenney was seconded by Dick Curtis and Frank Red- 1 oiond—Brown by Div. Hudson and Bishop ShArpe. To work they went (betting at even) st three minutes to one. THE FIGHT. Round I.—The attitudes of both men were good—each cau tious. Lenney put in a slight facer, stopped a well-meant bit from Brown, and, after sparring and shifting, Brown was hit cleanly down, and a slight tinge of red appearing on his cheek, first blood and knock.duwa were declared in favour of Lenney. 2. Biceßent sparring on the part of Brown, and ingenious shift ing by Lenney. In a close both down, Lenney under. 3. Lenney got his antagonist in a corner, and put in a hard hit on the side of the bead, which was returned by a cut under the eye. Some exchanges followed, and Lenney was Booted. 4. Lamy stopped oar blow, shifted horn another, received three hits, and weut down. 5. The first bit was again stopped by Lenney. Both close at the ropes. Slight exchanges, Lenney down, whether from a blow, or to avoid punishment, could not be fold ? 6. The rush of Brown was stopped by' Lenney, who bid the• remainder of the round his own way, and Brown was floored. 7. Lenney received a bit on his damaged eye ' • and another on the side of the bead, which levelled him. Loud shouts from the Kent road gentry. 8. Two well.iutended hits by Brown were stopped by Lenney ; some exchanges in favour of Brown, towards the close of the round. Lenney down. 9. Brown planted a good hit. Tried to repeat. Lenney shifted. Was caught again by Brown, and neatly floored. 10. Lenney, after cautious sparring, planted a Lit. Stopped a return from Brown. A close. Lenney under. 11. Lenney put in two bard bits. acrd got sleverly away. After sparring, a short rally ensued, and Lenny was floored. 12. BroWn, on coming to the scratch, exhibited signs of weak ness; the apparent knock down blows seemed to have made no impression on Lenney. Brown threw away a blow, and received a heavy bit. A struggle at the ropes, both down, Br own under. 15. Long sparring. Lenney stopped a bit. Both in a struggle down, Lenney holding Brown's arms to prevent mischief. 14. Slightly in favour of Brow., and Lenney fell from the force of a well directed bit. 15. Brown placed three hits, hut with little effect. lie at tempted again, missed, and was heavily floored. 14. Lenney bled hum under the eye. Received two hits, and went down. 17. This round seemed to exhaust Brown entirely. Lenney caught him coming it ; in some exchanges he had evidently the best ; but, u usual, was down. 18. In favour of Lenny, who put in two hits, but went down. 19. Sparring, and mutual exchanges. Both down, Brown under. ED. Lenney stopped Brown's hit, who endeavoured to get to 'close-kitting in a struggle, in which some blows were exchanged. Both down, Lenney under. Si. Brown made a hit, which ',minty shifted. Brown, in a close, received heavily, and fell from weakness ; it was evident he could not last long. 22. Brown's face was greatly swollen, and the side of his head exhibited the marks of hard hits; though evidently straggling with weakness, he came with alacrity to the scratch ; be bit-short; but, in a close had the best of it, and Lenney was again down. 23. In favour of Lenney, from the increasing weakness of Brown. Lenney placed two hits on the aide of the head. Both down, Brown under. 24. Brown's attitude though he was almost unable to stand, was gold . Lenney placed a tremendous hit, and got away—re peated it—and again administered a third, which put Brown in a site of stopefactioa, and won Lenney the battle, after a wellton tested fight of fifty-two minutes. llismaxs.—This was a first rate battle. Brown, although unsuccessful, ought still to lose none of the good opinion that had been formed of him, for it wix, evident he only wanted a little tutoring to meet te e : estimation that had been previously formed; but Op. posed to so experienced, so steady, and so hard a ggliter as Lenney, Young Jem's greenness was doubly appa.. rent. Like most young fighters his right hand is his favOurite hit. Brown may still be made much of: he socn shook off the stunning blow, and seemed to be des perate, when he knew that time was so fir gone; but be could then have no chance. Lenney fought with the tactics of an old warrior, and Curtis, as his second, was worthy of his place in the ring, both for chaffing and directing. Brown's ear was puffed not a little, and his left eje doing; his face was touched in many places; but altogether be did not show much punish ment ; it appeared that he suffined most from fatigue, chiefly on account of superfluous flesh. Leone) , was little the worse at the finish. His left eye was rather heavy, and threatened to be mousy; but he was in prime heart when he left the ring. An 3 1 A ful visitation of FILOVIDIiNCE occurred at Sheer ness on Friday last.' A very violent storm of thunder and lightning passed ovet the town, accompanied by large hail-stones, during which the electric fluid struck oat of the warders of the dnck yard, named Henry, whilst on guard, and he wai initantly killed. The hair and face of the unfortunate man were partially burnt, and the collar bone had received an injury. The decea.ed was a very aged man, and had been in acts of devotibn precious to the inelAncholy c4tiftophey as a Bible was lying open in the sentry 'box. ' • POLICE INTELLIGENCE. - Ikl A NSION- HOUSE. Georgs Draper, a Buckinghamshire man.was charged with . having assaulted John Meadows. The complainant, who appeared with his nectcloth covered with Mond. stated that as he was riding close behind the Wandler coach; on Fish-street-hill, the prisoner, who was driving a one-horse•cart, approaching him so closely, that he re re nested him nor to shove him in upon the coach. The defendant not the slightest attention to the request, but whipped on his • . The complainant begged Varnestly• that he would permit ' to go on in the fine of cisaches, but the fellow persevered, and shoved the complainant out of the line, so that he came in most dangerous contact with the carriages which were passing the op posite way. Complainant, upon remonstrating with the defendant upon such unworthy conduct, received a desperate lash across the face from him, and was covered with blood in an instant, and on seeing the blood he again lashed him more desperately across the face and body, not attending to the loud and indignant observations of tho s e who were near him. A street-keeper, however, dragged tke ruffian from the cart, brought him at once to the• Justice-room, and sent his cart, which contained a good deal of property, to the Green-yard. The complainant was bleeding profusely while he. was making this statement. It was impossible to have resisted the , defendant, so very dangerous was his situation. This testimony was confirmed by a Gentleman who saw bow desperate and un provoked the assault was. Alderman FAILIIIROII4IIIt a-ked the defendant, who is a big lub herly looking fellow, what he had to say in answer to this extraor dinary charge of brutality?—The defendant said, " Oh ! I shall be ruined—both me and my family—l'll never do it again. Let me have my cart—there's twenty pounds worth in it. Let me gc,, and I'll never do so no more." Alderman—l can't let y , •u go ; you have acted in the most cruel and utile, ling manner, and you must find bail.—" Oh, dear! oh, deaf !" said the great coward, crying, " What shall I do? I won't lash nobody no more if you only let me go this once." The Alderman said he was sure' that the defendant would . not lash any' more, when there was danger of being detected and punished; but his Worship rejoiced in locking up a fellow guilty-of such cowardly baseness.—The defendant was then committed to prison in default of bail. Christopher Bennett was charged with having assaulted a young Lady ill a very gross manner, at ten o'clock on Monday night, on Fillostreet hill. Mr. C. L. Phillips stated, that he was attending home to her parents' house the young Lady, who was highly respectable, when the defendant approached, and assaulted her in the grossest manner pos..ihle. Dafentlant—l deny the charge. The young lady was then called forward. She very reluctantly confirmed the evidence of the former witness.—Defendant. 1 deny the charge. Alderman Etamovueu said he regretted that Mr. Phillips had not chastised the defendant on the spot, for the offence was 'even more base and cowardly than the assault upon which he bad just before decided. i•lr. Phillips said, he was apprehensive of annoying the Lady still niore by entiring into a personal conflict in the streets. The Alderman—l wish he had received a good threshing ou the spot. Although he is the bigger man. lam sure it would be easy to beat him, for I never knew a man yet who was capable of such conduct that was not an arrant coward. The defendant 'was very anxious to have the matter arranged, and as Mr. Phillips said, that as the young Lady would be hurt at coming forward again, he thought it more advisable to forbear prosecuting, if the def.tudatit consented to pay a sum of money to a charity. Alderman FAlteaaoti,ea said, he could not be a party to a compromise in such a case; and Mr. Hobler also highly dis approved of letting such a fellow escape with comparative im punity. The defendant was then ordered to fine bail, but was , liberated, upon sending some money to a Charity. Mr. Reeves, a pawnbroter in Reticross-street, Cripplegate, ap peared upon an information before Sir Jona Pzaanso yesterday, fur demanding .Is. as the interest of a loan of 3s. for one year, when the utmost he could lawfully claim was 9d. Eliza Buckrridge, the wire of weaver in Bethnal-green,proved that she pawned a cloak for 3a. on the 20th of August, 1827, and on the 20th of August instant, when she applied to renew the pledge for another year by paying the interest for the past, she ten dered 9J. but the lad in the shop, although cautioned he was charging too much, persisted iu demanding ls. and " sniggered" at her as she left the shop. Air. Reeves said it was an unfortunate mistake on the pan of his shopman, and he would submit to whatever penalty the Ma gistrate would inflict. Sir Joux PRIMING fined him 40s. being the lowest penalty, and `6s. costs, which the aefentlant immediately paid. . Lnots, shopman to Mr. Morris, linen draper in Fleet-mar ket. was summoned before Sir Joni: Neatest by John Knight, for passing a counterfeit half-sovereign to the complainant's wife. Caroline Knight, a woman of respectable appearance, stated, that she purchased some goods at Mr. Morris's, and gave a sovereign to pay for them, and that the defendant gave her back some silver •and a half-sovereign, which she pyre to her husband, who went with the half-sovereign to a butcher's, who refused it as a bad one. She went back with it to Mr. Morris, who refused to exchange it, *and she summoned him for the amount before the Commissioners of the Court of Requests, who left Mr. Morris to do as he liked about - it. She had nu other half-sovereign at the time. John Knight confirmed his wife's testimony. The haltoovereign was never out of his sight at the butcher's. Mr. Morris stated, that the complainant came to his shop the next day and purchased a handkerchief, for which he paid with a sovereign, and took the difference, without mentioning the half. sovereign paid to his wife. The complainant admitted this, and explained that this was ;after his wife had received a refusal to her demand to have the money change d, and that he had Concerted that she should come again while he was in the shop to hear what am wee she got. —The caw was dignissed. BOW-STREET. Yesterday Fin George, and William Rya*. were charged before Mr. HALLS with having burgiariously entered the dwelling-lionse of Lady Raffles. John Crosswell deposed that be was butler to Lady Raffles, who resided at Highwood, mar Hendon, in Middlesex. He slept in the pantry, and between three and four o'clock that morning he was awoke by a noise. On looking through the glass door into the passage, he observed two men, our of whom had got a lamp in his hand; he cried out, " ! who's there?" The men made no reply, but ran away. lie pursued them through the 'entrance hall into the school room, front one at the windows of which they made their escape, and he rang the alarm bell. On searching the house a centre bit, datk lantern, and chissel were found, and it was discovered that the theieves had carried off Miss Rafiles's toy box, two pair of scissors, a thimble, and two cambric pocket handker chiefs.—He was unable to swear to the prisoners, as he had only indistinctly seen their barks as they retreated, hut their size and general appearance corresponded with those of the men he had seen, and who in their burry bad forgotten w take their hats with them. The hats were then tried an, and exactly fitted the prisoners. Batty. a carrier, deposed that he had seen the prisoners about three miles from Highwood. at eight o'clock that morning. They were without bats, and inquired the most bye-road to town. They also asked him if be could direct them to any place where hats could be purchased. SMith, one of the mounted patrol, deposed that he apprehended the prisoners in the Churchyard at Hendon, about ten o'clock that Morning. One of them was without a hat, but the other had one I ms which he purchased of a boy fin a shilling. The prisoners, who were examined apart, showed great relne-, tance to give any account of themselves. George stated that he' Was the son of a pen cutter, and followed that trade himself. Hr bad met Ryan on the previous day at some public-house in the City, and they went to Hendee to see a friend, with whom they got drunk, and, in • row, lust their bats. ltyan tald something of a similar story. lie was intoxicated at the time lie met George, sod did not get sober all day. They were remanded. The prisoners must have been several hours in the horse. Lady RAM s was ! alarmed by them about two o'clock, and rang her beU, which, how ever, was found mdiled. THS GREENWICH 11011tCrat. CAME—Austin, the individual who elands charged with an extensive embezzlement on Greenwich Hospital, was brought to this office In a postchaise, between eight and nine o'clock yesterday morning, by Salmon, an active officer of this establishment, and Farmer, a Greenwich constable. After a short examination before Sir R. Blanes, she prisoner was sent to the watchhouse for the present. He appeared very much downcast, and betrayed considerable restlessness and agitation. His further examination will be delayed until the witnesses in the case can be collected. A most atrocious case of assault was brought before the sitting . Magistrates, Sir Ric:Haan aIItNIE and Mr. Hams, the particulars of which, from a proper feeling towards war readers, we suppress. The prosecutor is the father of a female infant, only eight years of age, who was assaulted by a young man who lodged in the pro secutor's home; and so heinous was the offente, that the child is actually under the care of an eminent surgeon. The prisoner was fully committed. Mr. HaLts, in no measured terms, expressed his abhorrence not only of the crime imputed to the prisoner, but also the conduct of the child's parents, who, subsequent to their charging the ptisoher with the assault, agreed to accept of a compromise, which, coming to the knowledge of Mr. HALL', be said, if they did not know the duty they owed to their infant, they should to the public, and he would therefore commit the prisoner on the evidence of the child; but be was afterwards admitted to bail. •• , - M.lltl-T.!LBO,N.NL Yesterday a young man named ilartilaale was broiled ber ate Mr. 01111141111, charged with having falsely tianiwil and the case disclosed the following particulars: The prisoner was married on Monday, and invited q•irt.t.f • • to supper. Snake was of the parry, and he left bekre the te l ' After be was gore the bride noisssd her bracelets and i bu nc h ~ keys, and Snake waa suspected to have taken them. Nt e , t , nda i; went after him, and had him castled by two watchmen to et * watch-house. While this was going on the bracelet% and keys w ere found, accidentally covered with a coat, in the bride,;rontn' saom stunts, and a messenger was sent with the Intelligence to the watck, house; in consequence of which Martindale withdrew his charg e felony against Snake, and was about to go ,tack to his bride, but Snake charged him In rt turn with having laid violent hands spot and falsely imprisoned him; and left him a prisoner to sp en d Kit night in the watch.house, and caused his nevrly.mide wife to spend hers in comparative widowhood at home. Mr. Glttfintit said, when the bracelets and keys were fou le d t i e matter ought to have ended ; and he thought the step which Sn a k e had taken was a very unnecessary and'ill natured one.—Th e cat was dismissed. HATTON-GATME. Patrick Lee wag yesterday placed at the bar before Mr. See m: &MUM and A. S. Lam, Fsq. charged with a brutal assault and murder of a child, under the following citcumstances : It appeared from the evidence of Anna Gunn, that on &today, the Intl Pm. she was going down Saffron-1011, about half-past nine at teen, pi,„, a she met the prisoner. An altercation ensued, and the p r y knocked her down and kicked her in the stomach several tim e ,. She with difficulty got home, and was only five months in her pr ig . nancy then. She felt much worse on the following day, and e a , delivered of i child quite dead, and this was the charge agei ng the prisoner. Mr. Wright, the overseer of St. Luke's, stated that he was Ro t for by the poor woman on the 13th; he found her very weak, mg altogether in a very dangerous situation. The prisoner, in defence, called witnesses to prove that the p m 'coterie struck hint first, and that hp never touched her at di. Mr. Lana cross-examined the witnesses, who were all three Irishmen, but none would swear positively that when hr put up his foot to keep her off, be did not kick her. lir. Lam gave orders to have the body disinterred for a Om. net Jury to sit upon it. And bail to a large anrount was given fee his 'appearance. • WORSHIP—STREET. Yesterday Mr.Gole, of Nelson street. City-roid, was turnmstoe4 to the office by the driver of the hackney-coach, No. 432, vibe claimed one shiiling more for a fare than the defendant had choke to pay him. The coach, it appeared, had been hired to convey Mr. Gele's family, consisSng of four grown persons and a child, from the COstonnahouse to his residence, sonic distance off the stones. The coachman asked 4s. for his fare, being an extra Is. for the fi person, but Mr. Gole would pay no more than 3s. The defendant resisted the coachman's claim, on the ground that' the charge for the fifth individual, his child, was illegal, there beitg an exception in the Act of Parliament in favour in children. Mr. Herter g, the Magistrate, however said, th“t the exceytine applied only to children in the arms, and not to children capable of sitting and occupying a distinct place in the coach, such as the defendant's child, admitted to be ten years of age. He therefore decided that the coachman was legally entitled to his demand. The defendant, in addition to the is. fare, had to pay cis. W. for costs, and the coachman's lost time. LA MBETII-STREET. Michael, iNnehirn was charged with rubbing a person named Marriott of trig watch on the highway.—The prosecutor st ale d, that on Sunday night he was passing through Ratcliffe Highway, when be was jostled by a gang of thieves. The prisoner, who was one of the gang, snatched his watch from his fob, and ran toff with it. A cry of "stop thief "• was raised. and the prisoner was par sued and taken with the watch iu his hand...—The prisoner was committed. conoNtite INQUESTS. Yesterday afternoon an inouel was held Eefore BIAS STIRLING, Esq. at the Queen's Head, Lower-toad, Islington, on the body of John Thorpe, a wooden-legged, man, found in the Regent's Catial, near the Islingua. Tunnel, last Saturday morning. He was ascent 'fined. to have been a pauper of St. James's parish, and had. been placed at a farm house in the neighbourhood of Islington.• There was no evidence to show by *hit' means he came into the Canal, and there was no ap pearance of any violence upon the be:kip—Verdict, "Found drowned.'
