These were four fires in dif remit partsnithe room ;• and it was impossible that one . place could have fired the other; there. was lik ew i s e a bole gored in the ceiling. The property in the room was worth about 51. There was once about 1001. worth • oloterty in the . raom, but that was some months befo r e. .. • . 'This witness was cross-examined as to hit having been in insolvent debtor, and having given up the house to his assignen in consequence of which he was absent.from.the ! Strand for eight or nine weeks. In the 'month of •March bet he was liberated, and returned home. Tbeinisoner's residence was at WalwOrth, and be hadenly one room in his house. He told the Commis sioners that he had parted with his lease for SOL Ile I had not sold hii i nt e res t i n t h e fi xtures f or tw e nty- fi ve • pounds. An execution h a d b een p ut i nto t h e h ouse , an d ' the fixtures were sold under that execution; this was font or fivemonths•before the fire happened. Mr. Pres. ton was :formerly his landlord,. but neither he nor his servant: iesilled on the premises when the fire took place. •, One of the turpentine cans had been used by him ; the other cans , had been for a long time i n the p r i s o ner ' s possetsion, and were.-used' by him; Ball never paid the :eat; the glass dealers were to have paid the rent, for the part of the premises that they occupied, to Ball ; it was then to have been made over to him, and all the other lodgers paid their rent to him. William Bond saw the prisoner three times in' the . course of the day of the fire; the last time was about eight' o'clock, when he came into Bond's room foie light, which -was given him; at half aftel.• ten, the wis mess smelt bre, and ran op Stairs, when he found that the ptisoner's apartment was on fire, and endeavoured to oft it out. Esther Davis occupied the room opposite' to this ptiotter's; she was the fitst that discovered that his room was on fire; the door was shortly after broken . open, and the fire extinguished. I John Wood was sitting with Mrs. Pears when the ' prisoner came in, about nine o'clock ; Mrs. Fears ob served, that the re was a great smell of turpentine, and the Primmer said that he had been using some to his . coat ; fire being t;prisoner be en n, "ll s:m a r up stain, yshortlyan elig shortly ater d helps to put it out. ' ' James Shane, a shoemaker in the Strand, stated that he was the first person that broke into the prisoner's roonl;.•he found-it padlocked, and obtained the poker to face it ; the room was so fell of smoke when he got , it open, that he could not go in. He bad water min a, plied to him, and threw some on the chimney jamb; • which was on fire ; the articles of furniture, the sack, • jacket, and other things, were in a blaze or smothering. William Skeene, the brother of this witness, was pre . sent at the fire, and assisted to put it out. He corro ' borated his brother's evidence. • . Banister, a &imam, produced the chimney-jamb, which had becopartly consumed. He stated that be did not observe any fire in the grate, and if there had • been, it could Dot have set fire to the jambs in the man ner in which that appeared to be burned. Vatioui other articles from the room were here produced, all of which 1.4.: - appeared to have been partially consumed. A notice to produce the politY effected by the prisoner on the property, fixtures, acc..of the house, was here put la aid read by the Clerk of the 'Court. Charles Taylor, in the employment of the Sun Fire office, deposed that• an applicition' for , a policy was made to him on the 80th 9f March, on the property, fixtures, &c..ef No. 97, in the Strand. This witness pro- duced an order, the signature and fivires of which were proved, by the witness Fearn, to be in the hand-writing of the prisoner. 'The policy was effected by him as a dealer in wearing apparel. The prisoner, on being called on for his defence, said, in a low tone of voice, ybat he was not guilty of the charge laid to him, and that it was extremely impro bable that he could have acted in so foolish a manner. He attempted to account for the accident by stating, that when he obtained the lighted paper from the tailor he had put it out with a suck which had turpentine upon it, and which he threw' into the chimney-place. The turpentine on the wall and other places was occa sioned by the splashing of his brushes when he cleaned them after his work. With,respeet to the goods that he had on the premises, and which had been valued at only 1001. by Mr. Fears, he hadgiven 1201. to a pawnbroker, and everybody knew that pawnbrokers sold their things cheaper than anybody else. He concluded by solemnly , protesting his innocence. One witness was then called, who had known the prisoner two , years, and gave Mm a good character. Ne other witnesses were at this time forthcoming. Mr. Justice Gasman then summed up at considerable length. With respect to the defence of the prisoner, where he observed that the goods he had redeemed from a pawnbroker at £l2O, this could hardly be believed without bringing forward the pawnbroker. = The Jury then turned round to consult together, when the pri soner, apologising for the intelruption, said that the panbroker was present, and might be examined. This the Judge allowed. William Matthews, a tailor, - residing in New 0118mb-cow; &read, was called. He remembered seeing a great number of broad-clothe at the prisoner's room at No. 97, in the Strand. Maynard, a pawnbroker, residing In Clare-street, sa id t h at t h e prisoner bad redeemed bro ad l cloths from him to the amount (with out the interest) of 421. Souse other pawnbrokers were called, but they did not know the' person of the prisoner. Mr. Justice Gaut= then addressed a few observations to the Jury on the additional evidence that bad been addireed, and ob served, that with respect to the amount of the property. it was not carrlegt any further than the point at which they originally set out ; for, alrowing that the goods which had been pledged at 431. were worth more than twice that value, it would not bring It further than Mr. Fearn's statement, whishad stated it at 1001. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty. There was some difficulty as en the point to whom the bosse be longed, and judgment was accordingly respited.

An adjournment was made to Deiph, near Ssddleworth, where the fight took place, in a very excellent piece of ground, be tween two hills. We understand that the men were considered a pretty good match. Manning's weight is about thirteen stone; Rough Robin is half a dozen pounds heavier. Betting on Monday was seven to foir in favour of the former. Both entered the ring I with great apparent confidence in their own powers. The stranger exhibited great activity, and commenced on the offensive, as if * intended to make short work of it; but the Manchester man waited his attacks with great calmness, and gave such returns as convinced his antagonist that he was not to be easily disposed of.— The active hostilities of Manning, however, set Robin a puffing. 1 and for some time he had apparently the worst of it ; but recover ' lug his wind, his strength began to exhibit itself, and tutned the' tide in his favour.
