On Saturday last be went at the usual time, and sou let in by the female servant. He proceeded to open the wars. house, to sweep it out. and then went below stairs for some other purposes. About eight o'clock he went to his breakfast, and re. turned at nine. Near this time lir. Lynch came to the counting boo-c, and on the desk found a sovereign and a piece of foreign gal i coin. On examining the desk, he found that his cash box had been opened, and 12ti es. 61 in cash, bank notes, and checks missing.

Mr. Lynch said the case was fraught with strong circumstances against the prisoner, but he feared he should out be able to carry it turther—he was entirely in the hands of the Magistrate.

Mr. Mathews, how - ever, had no intention of inconveniencing the defendant by causing him to hr locked up, but was desirous that he might not be trou bled with him again. The defendant, with a low bow, and a theatrical flourish of his band, gave every indication at entering on his defence by means of a long speech, when the Magistrate stopped bins short, and re quested him to confine what hr 'purposed to say within as mode r.er a compass as possible. " I will," said Mr. Lee Sug—" That which I purpose saying shall he neat, terse, and pithy—ecce.signuoi. You must know then (he said) that I had the honour of being the tutor of the renowned Charles Mathewe; yes, it was I who, in the words of the poet, • first taught his young ideas how to shoot ; I put bins in possession of his talents, and ensured him the means of attaining to that enviable station in the theatrical world which he now enjoys. It was I who— * " My good Sir," interrupted the Magistrate, it I have no time •for long speeches at present. All I wish you to explain is, why you went to insult 'Mr. Mathews r " Me insult bins !" exclaimed Mr. Lee Sug. • No such thing, your Worship." e' • " What brought you to the Theatre, then r asked Mr. Hants. "Why I went," rejoined the defendant, "mask Mr. Charles Mathews, my old friend and pupil. to help me to some situation— any thing at all to keep life and soul together. I am growing old now, but I have been in respectable circumstances, I assure your Worship." " Well," said Mr. Hems," will yon promise nut to create a dis turbance at Mr. Mathews's any more, if I let you go now ?" " Most certainly ; I give my unequivocal assurance, and all that, not to be obstreperous any more, although 1 have a crow to pluck with my old friend and puVil." " Then you are discharged, Mr. Lee Sug," said the Magistrate, " and I wish you agoodasoznine."• " Good day to your Worship," rejoined Mr. Lee Sag. with a profound obedience; then, elevating his chin, and throwing a good deal of comicality into his countenance, he repeated his " good day" in a falsetto key, quite worthy of his inimitable pupil, and retreated backwards, bowing as be went, to the no anal! amuse ment of those who were present. biABLBOROUGHoSTREET.

The animal was perfectly quiet at the time, and was, it any thing, in a state of exhaustion, having been bunted in the earlier part of the day. They succeeded in driving the beast into the street, un which they apprehended them, and on matching Parish. they found a number or stones in his pocket. The Magistrate inquired what the object WAS fur which these stones were carried; and the officers replied, that they were for pelting at both the bullock and then at the °Metre. The prisoners offered in defence the old plea of being merely no the spot by accident, anti merely lookers-on at the bullockshunting. This however, the Magistrates did not credit; and after espremr ing their astonishment that the awful canopies that bad been made had nut operated more effectually, and admonishing them on the results likely to follow front such revolting conduct. fined them in the mitigated penalty ut I.o*. each, or in default of payment tomato' committed to the House of Correction fur one mouth.

The renovations at,out the Parliament Houses have eommenced, particularly at the It yal entrance. in the new gallery which leads to the Painted Chamber, thence to the Robing-room, and the body of the House.

INFUItIATZD OZ.—Monday afternoon, the greatest alarm was occasioned in the neighbourhood of the Royal Exchange, by the appearance of an overdrove ox, sun. ning from Whitechapel towards the Mansion House.— Hundreds of people hollowed the exasperated animal, hallooing and hooting, which tended to increase its fury. In its progress from Whitechapel, where first it had shown symptoms of fury, the ox tossed a girl, and se verely hurt her; it knocked over almost everything that opposed its progress, and arrived opposite the Nlausisa House, where at stood apparently considering what ob ject it should attack. At thisusoment a butcher passed the street, and the ox Tao with the greatest impetuosity at the man, and drove him against the shop window of a clothier, in Charlotts-row. By a sudden turn the , butcher escaped with a scratch in the lace, and the ox drove his head through the window of the shop, and cat its mouth with the glass. More incensed, the ani mal ran up Cheapside. and many lucky escapes there were from its fury. The animal turned down Bucklers bur y. and went into Walbrook, and laid down in an exhausted state. Various efforts were made to raise it ; among others four other oxen were brought to entice hint to rise; but all was in vain, and alter some delibe ration, it was resolved to kill the animal, which was easily effected.—. The thieves and pickpockets were all alive, and two mta caught at pocket-work near the Mansion House.

The men entered the ring at the usual hour, Savage attended by Harry Holt and Ned Neal, and Sw by Alick Reid and Frank Redmond. Both looked we eens and were equally confident. At the commencement operations Savage broke ground, and tried to plant one of his over-banded bits on Sweeney's nob, but k fell' short, and caught him on the breast. Sweeney their retreated, but immediately returned to the charge, and a sharp rally followed, in which the in fighting 4 Sweeney. was excellent, and he succeeded in planting . several facers. Savage fought with him rather wildly, and in a struggl, at the ropes both went down, Seelig* under. Its the second rimed Savage adopted the sae* style of hitting over•liasided, but his band went beyond Sweeney's shouldei, and he received a counter hit from Sweeney's eight. More in kitting followed, during which Sweeney popped in a few hall aril hits on the head and body, and in the dote was thrown. This style of fighting continued to the seventh round, when Sweeney Lit &iv Apr flown with a right-bander oat the jaw. It was " all but ;" and on Savage being placed on less second's' knee, it required all the cheering of his friends to get bins to the scratch when " time" was called. He did conic, however ; and bad Sweeney then bustled in, the* fight would have soon been over. • This he did not do, and Savage, after a little time, with his wonted game, shook off iiis stupor, ans: went In light with great spirit. The fight wastheu protracted, with alternate advantage, to the fifteenth round, the hitting being decidedly in layout tit Sweeney. and the steuggling.at the rupee rather. in favour of Savage, ulnas the officers, armed at all points. entered, and pioclainied the duty winch had been imposed upon them.

Isis ear was cut and his face considerably swollen and discoloured. Sweeney bad his left peeper black ened, and lust a little dirret from the menial but otherwise he did not show much outward syseptallied mischief; although, during the struggle on the rapes, his stomach was considerably deranged. The spectators having immediately dispersed, the men seta, tied to their respective quartets—Sweeney to the Jolly Sailor, and Savage to the king's A i °is, on the top of the bill. They both lay down, and a council of war was held as to what was nest to be done. The stakeholder had the power of teaming the time and place for the next meet ing. and as both pasties were desirous of bringing the ' question to isiue. he named Old Oak Common fur the nest tout of rendezvous; thither the Commissary, fol lowed by a long trans of charioteers, - proceeded.
