Tho Ordinaries were better attended than for some time past. There was a very good Dell on Tuesday, but it was far surpassed on the Thursday, when upwards of 230 Ladies and Gentlemen of rank and fashion were present. The Theatre was extremely crowded; and there was ample range for the gratification of the tastes of all de,crip dens of visitors to the town during the week, for, in addition to the Theatrical amusements, &c. Spring, Scroggios, and Pur cell, afforded the admirers of boxing an animated exhibition of the pugilistic science, at the Old White klart and Punch BowL BOXING. WILLIAM NEATE AND THOMAS OLIVER. The battle between these heroes took place yes terday, and never was there a pugilistic combat so gallantly maintained, and comprehending so many changes, as the present one. Oliver had fought him self up to pugilistic eminence, although defeated by Cart Or. Neale, from the Bristol nursery, had never before fought a pitched battle, but he was highly spoken of, and in this instance he realized all the ex pectations of his backers A spacious ring wad first formed in Bulstrode Park, Bucks, on a beautiful eminence, but the Magistrates interfered ; and the cavalcade, which lined six miles of ground, hurried off to Mill End, over a rough load of many miles. Here the battle was fought, and betting was 11 to 8 upon Neate.--Seconds, Cribb and Belcher for their , tcountryman, and Jones and Clark for Oliver. Round 1. After some feints to measure tactics, Neate, in hit ting short, was returned upon slightly, and he threw out his right hand, which floored Oliver by a blow on the gullet. 2. Both men hit short, and in a confused meeting Neate went down by an overbalance. 3. Neate produced first blood from the bick of his neck; Oliver plated a smart body blow upon his ribs, and broke ground, and Neate missed a tremendous right-handed lunge. A rally followed, in which much spirit was shown, bat Oliver's science gave him the best, although he was well hit. NLate was knocked down.--6 to 4 on Oliv.r. 1. Oliver, primed upon his mettle, commenced a rally, but the mot overhit themselves and both went down. S. A round of seven minutes took,plac , •, but it was occupied in cautious manoeuvring, Oliver hitting without the force of the body with it, seemingly not to have a repetition of the right handed taste in the first round. Th,•y exchanged frequent hits, and separated, and in rallying Neate went down. 6. lk•cidedly in favour of Oliver, who planted one, two, hits, with much gaiety, and floored his adversary, who had retreated to the ropes.-2 and Stol on Oliver. 7. Oliver bled from his mouth, and a manly round was fought, rather in favour of Neate, who cut Oliver severely upon the chin. After a rutianing rally both went down. 8. Neate made play, and floored his antagonist by a heavy hit upon the forehead, which produced a stream of claret.- 6 to 4 on Neate. 9. Ideate slipped in setting-to. In. A severe hitting round, in fivour of Oliver, who closed with his adversary, and gained tha fart• 1!. A bloody round, in a strong that of courage, and Feats had none the worst of it, Although he got pinked about the nob, and there were strong symptoms of an approaching L'hancry &winos. Beth hit themelves tired, and both down. 12. Oliver Allewed weakness, and had the worst of the round, which brought betting even. 13. A Invere r.illying round, and Neate VMS hit lavro.-6 to 4 on Oliver. 14. Neate had rather the best in rallying, bet he was thrown. Neat had much the worst of the four next rounds ; and Oliver brought the betting to ten to one in his favour, in the 19th round ; but in the subsequent round Neate caught his adversary a flush hit on the, jaw, which dropped as if a pistol ball had hit him, and the fight was supposed to be ended. Oliver, however, like a true English bull dog, staggered up to his adversary in the next round, and was floored again, bleeding from the e::rs. He partly recovered, but in the 29th and 30th rounds, he was hit senseless with his adversary's right hand, and he could not be brought up again. Ihe battle lasted one hour and three minutes, and it was a real game one. Both were hideously hit, and Neate's jaw had an orna mental screw. West Country Dick was beat in ten minutes by .1-ludscnu—S. Davis, Neate's cousin, beat Belasco, the Jew, with much gallantry, in 14 minutes. A novelty presented itself on the ground, in a splendid barouche and four, iu which were two ele gantly dressed Ladies, who viewed the fights with much attention, and seemed highly delighted with the elegant pastime. The sports were not over until dusk, 23 miles from London. KENT.—Menday morning, John Eventlcn, a sol diet and George Thomas, a paper-maker, fought a pitched battle for five guineas, near the Rose, at Tovil. The battle was a hard fottght one, and desperate blows were given by - both nten, but Thomas generally fell undermost at the close of the round. They fought ten rounds, at the end of which, Thomas was ex hausted. and could not come to time. Evenden consequently was declared the victor. There were between 4(X) and 500 people present, and much Isl. ting to•k place. The odds were generally in f.tvour of Evenden, though in the fifth round, he seeming rather distressed, bets became even. ettccrr.—A Grand Match was played at Lord's Ground on Wedncsd ty and Thursday, between the Mary-Id-Donne Club aza:l3; the Prince's Plain Club, with Beidham, and decided in femur of Mary-la-Bonne, by 75 thus. netting 6t04 on the Marylt-Bonne Club. CCRIOLII ArrILAT AT Pasts.—Oil the steth ark. as three Eng lish Gentlemen (Captain Ilor, of the Royal Artillery, and Mesita Pniturson and Comma), were walking in the gardens of the Thuilleries at Paris, a Frenchman !who had the ribbon of some Order at his button-hole), with his arms folded, jostled against one of the party, who supposing him Intoxicated, took not the least notice of it ; on meeting a second time the same insult was repeated, but still no notice was taken ; on the parties meeting a third time, the Frenchman raised his fist, and was going to strike Mr. Coxsoa, but the blow was warded off by Mr. Puitursox, who, in return, planted such a tremendous blow on the Frenchman's mouth, as to knock three of his teeth down his throat, cut hat lip vet) , much, and laid him fiat on the ground. The Police coon came up, and took the whole party to the Police-office. On the Frenchman being desired to ex plain the cause of such conduct, he said, he had formerly been a prisoner in England, and being in a crowd one day, was spit tarn by some one, and he was that day determined to revenge himself upon the first Englishman hu met. The French officer, conceiving that the affair cught to he determined honourably, said that one of the English Gentlemen must meet him; on which, each of them were desirous of giving the Frenchman satisfaction. It was agreed that Mr. Parttirsort should have the honour, and cards were exchanged. On arriving at the place appointed, at teem o'clock, the same evening, the French man never made his appearance; and after waiting a short time, I the English party proceeded to the Frenchman's lodgings, but he had artfully riven a wrk.ng address.

Sir SAMTPL Ho•\nLLY this morning called the at tention of the Court w the case of a bankrupt named Crowley, who had been committed some time since, by the Commissioners, for refusing to answer inter rogatories. The question to which the bankrupt de clined giving any reply was a very long one, and a doubt had arisen as to the authority of the Commis sioners to enforce it. M. Ross her:: begged leave to interrupt Sir S. Romilly, as he had an objection to offer which might render it unnecessary to go into the merits of the case. By the original statute of 11.theas Corpus the Lord Chancellor had no power to issue the writ in vaca-' tion, but the Act of the sth of George 11. supplied that power in favour of the liberty of the subject. it provided, however, at the s ame time, that the writ should be prayed for within the petiod of two terms after the commitment of the party. The bankrupt in this case had suffered an imprisonment of two years, and had therefore forfeited his claim to the be nefit of the statute. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY observed, that he was cer tainly not prepared to meet this objection at the pre sent moment, but, with his Lordship's leave, the matter should be again mentioned on Monday. The Lotto CHANCELLOR directed that the bank rupt should be brought up accordingly on Monday next, when the question might be fully considered. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULY 10. TWEDDELL V. TWIIDDULL. His Honour the Vice CHAsicet.ton.—" !consider this case very important on public grounds, as it re lates to the practice of this Court: It is a bill filed for the purpose of annulling a settlement made be tween a father and a son, alleged to have been exe cuted under the undue influence of the faller. It has been contended, that a father has a powerful influence over a son, where the latter is of a good temper and disposition, for which reason the Court ought to witch the father's conduct strictly. I will, however, ask, has this ever been done? Let those who have so contended, prove that they have ever influenced the decision of this Court. In guardian cases, it is necessary for the Court to look with jealously, as a guardian might influence his ward; but here there is no proof of that kind, as it appeared the settlement was founded on family attachments. No pecuniary bargain of an improper kind was made, although it is alleged the son had been imposed on. The recital of the deed of settlement is not sufficient for inc to decide on. I have therefore read the deed itself, and I must say, that I see nothing in it to j•istify the al legation that the father and son stand in the situation of vendor and vendee. Feeling as I do that it was a family transaction, I will not disturb the Fettle. ment. I therefore dismiss the bill without costs.— This Court has a jealous eye over guardians, but it holds sacred family transactions." Bill dismissed without costs. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY io. ATTWOOD AND HAINES 4. ARTHUR WILLIS. The proceedings in this case occupied the Court nearly the whole of this day : the time was princi pally employed in the examination of contrary wit nesses as to a single fact on which the result of the cause mainly depended. It was an action on a po licy of insurance, dated 25th March, 1817, on goods on board the Badger, and on the. freight of the yes-, sel en a voyage at and from St. Domingo to Car-' thagena, South America ; the loss was averred to have been by capture. The defence was, that the plaintiff's broker, who effected the insurance, had concealed a material fact from the underwriters. The following arc the principal facts out of which the suit arose :—On the 23d March, 1817, the plaintiff% received a letter from their correspondents in St. Domingo, informing them that the Badger either had sailed or was about to sail from thence to Cartha gena, South America, with a cargo of provisions int the Insurgents, who, it was asserted, were in posses sion of the place : the letter also stated, that a part of the cargo belonged to the Commodore of the insur gent squadron. On the arrival of this intelligence, in consequence of directions, the plaintiffs employed their broker, Mr. Hunt, to take to Lloyd's a policy upon ship and height, with a view to its being un derwritten. This he did on the very day the above letter came to hand; and when he addressed himself 'to various Gentlemen fur their signatures, he found that recent news had been obtained, vie Jamaica, that the Royalists were in isossession of Carthagena: they stated this fact to Mr. Hunt, who was previ ously ignorant upon the subject, excepting so for as the letter received by the plaintiffs gave him intelli gence and by that he had every reason to believe that the insurgents held the place at the date speci fied in it. Some conversation occurred between Mr. Hunt and. Mr. Beverley, Mr. Champion, and others, upon the point. This, however, was the question in', 4spute—whether at the time of the signature of what is tailed the slip, on the 23d March, anterior to the , preparation of the policy, Mr. Hunt had exhibited as mentioned to the underwriters the letter from St. Domingo, in which it was said that the Insurgents, and not the Royalists, were in Carthagena. The de-, fendant took a line to the amount of 1:200. The loss took place by capture in part, the Spanish Royal as i ties confiscating the ship and cargo on her arri -4al at Carthagena, contrary to the Spanish naviga tion laws, the Badger being a British vessel. The first witness called by Mr. SCAIILETT, on be half of the plaintiffs, was Mr. Hunt, who swore dis tinctly, that when he went on the 23d March to Lloyd's to effect the policy, he did not know that Carthagena had been retaken by the Royalists ; he first received the intelligence front the underwriters, who on that account refused to take a premium of three guineas, but insisted, particularly Mr. Beverley, upon receiving five guineas on account of the greater risk that the Royal Spanish authorities would con fiscate the ship and cargo. He had every reason to believe, that the underwriters saw the original letter from St. Domingo, consisting of three sheets of paper, though he would not take upon himself to say positively that he shewed that ; but certainly he had never exhibited any other to them, and he was confident that he took it in his hand.— He was sure that he had never told any of them that the Badger was fitted out and loaded fur a voyage to Carthagena, with intent to supply provisions to the Royalists. When the los,s was claimed, the Under writers required to see the letter from the West In dies, 2nd after he had procured it from his pAncii pals, the plaintiffs; he laid it bE;fore them, and one of them, Mr. Robinson, read it; as, however, it contained various other matters, it wets • not made - - more public. In confirmation of this stateme:l;, the witness produced a policy underwritten by some of the same Geatlemen on mules on a voyage from Porto Cavallo to Jamaica, at a premium of only one guinea and a half, though the sea through which the vessel passed was equally infested with plundering privateers, and the ♦oyage longer; from hence it was inferred that the insurer must have taken into view the risk of capture in port by the Royal Spa nish Authorities, and on this account required a pre mium of tin guineas. On his cross-examination, this witness admitted that the mules were warranted fromjettiron and mortality, and that they might wit be so deiirahle a prize to privateers as .provisiors. He swore positively that• the plaintiffs had never threatened him with an action, or even intimated.. that he had been guilty of neglect, misconduct, or mistake, in the mode in which he effected the policy. A witness who had been on board proved that the Badger escaped the squadron blockading Carthagena, but was seized and confiscated on her arrival in port, and the crew imprisoned. Mr. Seijeant VAUGHAN conducted the cause on the part of the defendant, and addressed the Jury at considerable length, detailing the nature of the evi : dente he should produce in contradiction to the case made but on the part of the plaintiffs. His first witness was Mr. Champion, who had signed the policy in question, as agent for the defendant. He spoke to what passed at Lloyd's, when lkfr. Hunt presented the slip for signature ; he, produced a letter on half a sheet of foolscap, written recently, and with pale ink, as his letter of orders, and the witness was quite sure that Hunt offered nu other to the underwriters; had that from St. Domingo beea teadered in three sheets, he should have remenibei ell it. When 1-lunt first offered the i isk, Mr. Beverley said that Cartha gena was in the hands of the Royalists, but the for mer added, she would he well received, for theta oops were in a state of starvation. Beverley, the witness, Mr. Robinson, and several others, put their initials upon what Hunt produced as his letter of orders, with the sums for which they were willing to sub scribe opposite. Mr. Rubinson was not sure whether Hunt or some other person said, that the ship would be well re ceived by the Royalists, but it was in his healing,. He would not take upon himself to swear that the letter from St. Domingo had not been produced to the underwriters on the 23d of March, but he had no recollection of it. Mr. Hunt delayed fni• souse time before he claimed the loss, bud at last produced the Captain's protest, and Mr. Beverley (the first name on the policy) required to be !hewn the letter of orders shewn by Hunt on the 23d of March; the latter denied that he had had any, but after ~one days exhibited the letter from St. Domingo, s% it ch the witness read ; Hunt denied that he had shewn ca the 23d of March a letterof orders from the plaintiffs. Mr. Benjamin Blaydes, another io,urer son this policy, confirmed the above in some particulars, but his memory of the transaction was not distinct. Mr. Llo'yd, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Nl‘Ctillurn, Mr. Beverley, and Mr. Blanchard, also gave evidence, in terms more or less strong, that Mr. Hunt had nut produced the letter from St. Domingo at the time the slip was signed, nor until after he claimed the loss. The detendant's case having been closed, Mr. ScAitizn• commenced his reply by some remarks on the inconveniences to which Judge, Jury, Sui:ors, and Counsel were exposed in a Court so ill construe., ted : not a County Town in England was so ill pro vided in this respect as the metropolis, and the long existence of the evil, after repeated remonstrances, was a disgrace to the City of London. He then en tered into a comparison of the evidence on both sides, pointing out the various circumstances confirmatory of Mr. Hunt's account, and the probability that the witnesses for the defendant were mistaken in the ac count they had given of what passed at Lloyd's. Mr. Justice A/MOTT went over the whole case, oh serving, that if the defendant's case %%ere true, the plaintitfs, through the agency of their broker, had been guilty of a gross fraud upon the Underwriters ; his Lordship, however, could not believe, under all the circumstances, that any such intention had existed on the part of Mr. Hunt. or his employers. The . former had spaken with as much distinctness and po sit'veness as was possible; and there were many parts of the case for the defendant that confirmed his tes timony very importantly. There seemed no reason for charging him with falsehood, either in his acts or in his evidence, while it was easy to explain the discrepancy of the testimony against him, by sup posing only the mis•bearing or omission of a single word. It had been said that the broker was an inte rested witness, but surely he was not liable to so much suspicion as the Underwriters themselves, some of whom had been called to contradict him.
