EDITORIIIIP.—To be the Editor of a periodical work, I had long, in my own ideas, esteemed as the we puns nitro of droll literary felicity. The many odd papers on odd subjects that an Editor has the enjoyment of perusing, his power of accepting or rejecting oi plaisir sundry compositions, and the importance that this power confers on its possessor, seemed to me a combination of feli citous circumstances, which were even increased when criticism was a feature in the work. Vain imaginings! they were doomed to be dinipated by a conversation that a short time sbice the very intelli. 'sent Editor of a critical musical work, held with me. " The labour," said be, " that I undergo, and the little remuneration I receive for it, is incredible ; day and night am I at work, and have so much new music to review, that it is sometimes a real question, whether it, or myself, must turn out of my own house.— Much enmity and awaits my exertions, and to many persons lam a positive bug-bear ; for instance, I was lately at a concert at which, as the bills announced. a M r. and !Sirs. H—, strangers, were to sing, and I confess Iw as anxious to hear them. On the bench before me, sat a Lady and IJesithntan, the former of whom (elegantly attired In white satin) I observed ever and anon casting fearful glances at me over her shoulder, and then nudging and making signs to the Gentleman, whose countenance plainly said, " Madame,je vous n'enrend pas." " Uaderaand then, you shall," thought his fair companion, for in a loud whisper she said," Why, the Editor of the is just behind us." The gentleman im mediately turned, and gazing at me with an air of agony and terror, put the arm of the Lady in whit, satin under his, and bore her away ; they entered tile room no more that evening, nor tbe Or schemers, fur this poor couple whom I had so unintentionally alarmed, were the identical Mr. and Mrs. H—, were to have sung, and to have sung too, a duet."—New London Literary Gazette. MANAGEMENT OP THE STOMACH. --- Drs. PHILIP, Pews, Joussos, and others in this country, have found their account in wri ting on stomach complaints and management people fancy that these Gentlemen know more on the subject than the rest of the faculty, and flack from all parts to consult them.' M. Lime has likewise published his Reflections on "the Causes isf ertness im the Stomach. He tells us (what all the world ought to know already), that this inertness is more frequently the cause them the consequence of disease. He recommends a plan of living suited to the age of the individual: that is to say, in infancy. during the period of increment of the body, when dige.tion Is rapid, a greater number of meals may be taken than afterwards.— In the adult state, the process of Increment is stopped ; an¢ all that is now necessary is to repair the lases; meals should therefore be less frequent, and the periods of repose longer; the food, at the same time, of a more select kind. In old age there is hardly any loss to be repaired; eating then is only necessary to support fife; digestion is much slower ; so that as we grow elder, we should abridge the *mores or the duties of the table—an inference which 1 1 certainly appears founded in facts, and compatible with other Am nomenen observable in life—but a little at variance, it is to be feared, with the force of long-confirmed habit. Indeed, it is in opposition to a well received system of philosophy, which assigns indulgence in the pleasures of the table as a recompeatce to old age tor the lost power of other tojoyment% and believes that such in dulgeoce may be made with impenity.—Landon 3felical Repository oast &aim.

FIGHT IZTWRIN FRANK CDWARDS AND NNTIIi, ALIAS SAMSIT SLOP, VON £ao.—T IS TIRDA Y. This match arose from a challenge issued by Ekin to Edwards, purely (or the thirst a fame. Edwards has fought Harry Junes twee, by whom be was defeated, but not till after a contest of an hour and • half; this occurred about three years ago. Ekin bas been successful in a few turn-ups with commoners. They are two Jarvies et differs nt stands—among the fellows of their own pro fession. a vast bustle was excited, which was very apparent from the number of hackney drags that were paraded on the occasion. A report was circulated that the scene of action was fixed in a very different direction from where its was really intended, and Old Oak Common was again named as the favoured spot, but the trap. were, either' born information or well grounded suspicion. OD the alert, and were at the Common before any preparation could be made ; it was of no use to attempt it under the nose of the Bow street authorities, and it was given up as no go there ; so the sign a l was given for a move towards the Welsh Harp on the Edgware road ; and in a meadow not more than a mile from the Harp, the stakes were fixed by Commissary Joe Fishewicke. Ekin threw up his castor under the auspices of Jem Williams and Charley Blenheim. Edwards soon replied in kind, with whom Harry Jones and Paddy Flinn went in. Edwards was taller and somewhat heavier than Ekin—ht was about nine stone and a half, and on stripping it was evident that in his toggery be showed to disadvantage. Edwards won the toss for the sun. _ At twenty-five minutes to three, they testified their mutual friendship in the usual form, and proceeded to business- TH 2 FIGHT. Rousts 1. Edwards was confident, and Ekin nothing daunted— and a fait show of science was displayed on each side, and a decent proportion of ceremony. Edwards made the attack, and got In two left handers at the body and one at the head. Ekin, who had failed in stopping, now countered. and it told. " That's it, Sammy —don't loot time—go it, my boy." Sammy plucked up, and went in to do it, but he was out of distance. Here Edwards. in the accidency of fighting, turned his face full to the view of Kkin's friend, who woo descried a little claret—then came the shout— :Mere! look there! Sammy lass drawn the first blood. lain felt the friendly emitter's*, and let fly eagerly, but Edwards made two good stops, and returned two smart jobs. He followed a hard left handed facer with closing, weaved, and threw Sammy. 2. On coining up, Sammy's right eye showed slight effects. Ed wards sent in his left hand. Sammy missed the return—Edwards repeated it—Sammy again was short—Edwards closed, and in the bustle Sammy was under. . . . . 3. Sammy went in and trkd to escape Edward's job by drooping his head, but Edwards still kept him out by virtue of his long arm,' planted them on his frontispiece—closed, and threw Win with ease. 1. Edwards got his left-hand in as before—had the best of a weave—and had the fall—Sammy received a slight cut on the smelling organ. 5. A weave—Sammy thrown a burster. 6 to 16. " Go it, Sammy, you see be can't hit to knock a Ay off." During these rounds Sammy earned himself much, and not without judgment and evident courage, but the balance was rather In favour of Edwards, who had the fall in every round, and he only showed a small scratch on the cheek, while Sammy's face be gan to be queer. • 17. In the struggle Sammy shifted his kg and got the fall. The two patted each other very lovingly when on the ground, "as much as to say I wish you well, my boy, but don't win the fight." 18 to 26. There was not much change in the fighting, but Sammy displayed much cleverness andability in baffling Edwards in throw ing—Sammy either disappointed him, and halved the crush, or had it all to himself. 27. Sammy, who now fagged with his exertinn against the odds of weight and length, was under in an awkward position, and seemed to feel the effects of the fall. 28 to 40. Sammy occasionally resumed his address In a struggle, but he received several heavy falls, and his flight was all up-bill, or rather downhill. A few rounds previous, Edwards was somewhat piping, but Sammy had now become light cm his bands, end was tailing a gradual and an easy conquest. 41. Sammy thrown heavily, and in which Edwards kept his bold of his (Sammy's) head under his arm iud went down upon it, while Sammy's heels performed a circuit in the air, and alighted with a smash—" There now, all liartlemy fair can't anew a better somerset than that there tag, now." . 12 to 44. All against Sammy. who dropped his head to save his face, but hi could not get away from Edwards; who peppered his twinkler, and sent him grazing every round. Eking began to low light, and his seconds gave In for him, alter a fight of 65 minutes. RINAILKS.—Ibis fight, which "ref ►rought out from the Fancy of t►e Coleolum Tap. in Portland-road, was " respectably" eon. tended. Edwards had all natural advantages in his favour, but Sammy chewed as much as to promise that be would be no" slop" to a man of his own weight and inches. The plan of dropping his head, to which he resorted from a desperate necessity, was much against him, for he lost sight of his man entirely, but although at the end he was forced away against kis inclination, be ought, in prudence, to have given in lung heroic, as he had no chance, At times he had a flash of good luck, and dealt some fair jobs op the nob of Edwards ; hut they were too few. and apparently not heavy enough, to do the trick. Edwards's reach was difficult to over come, but he Is not a hard hitter; he had scarcely a scratch. S.m my's eyes were both puffed, and his body showed something like corporal punishment. A goodly number of people were on the ground, and a more than ordinary quantum of vehicles; one of w►ich, a one-horse chaise, in entering the field at a fourin-hand pace, came in content with the gate-post, shivered the shafts, and the passengers were scientifically spilt, but fortunately without in jury to themselves. Thursday a match for fifty sovereigns a-dde was decided in a field on the estate of Duchal, near the village of Kilinacolm. The combatants were Simon Byrne, an Irishman, and Robert Avery, an Englishnian, both well-known amateurs of the prise ring. A goodly number of the admirers and professors of the fistic art, from Glasgow and neighbourhood, followed them to the ►cene of action. It was a gallant fight of thirty-six rounds, and lasted one hour and forty-six minutes. From the beginning, Byrnei: tactics were su perior to Avery's, who was at last taken die oi the room in a dreadful state of stupor—his punishment wacteirrifig. Brae re tired from the sing without a mark. Saturday evening, while the two men in charge of a dray were employed in delivering a small barrel of beet to a chandler's shop in the neighbourhood of Eaton street, Blackftiar's Hord, the horse and dray were dri ven off by some person or persons unknown ; and not withstanding every search was made at the Green yard, and ether likely places, no tidings of them could be, , heard. • " ' • .........—ter - A LIMMIIi OM- SI Kalb ..t — iv. ..—.

The riot arose among the Irish residen's of Cato siren, who, as usual, quarrelled with each rthcr urn the old grottad of being natives of different pm vine's. which always in their moments of intemper ance furni.hea good ground for throwing down rte gauntlet of defiance arid of battle. At this dead hour of the night, and among this description of combatanti. did the battle wage with unceasing and de•perate fury, the local authorities, who first ende. Toured to quell the disturbance, heirs either completely routed, or put at defiance. Some of the furious ruffi..ns fol lowed some who bad taken refum in the houses, and, dragging them forth, beat thffin unmercifully. The upro.r that for two hours disturbed the neigh. bourhood defies any attempt at description. Ti e combatants b: 'lowed like a set of mad bulls, as the con test had alternate advantage for either party. In this manner, and armed with every kind of weapon, did, about 700 ruffians arouse the affrighted inhabitants with their appalling uproar, and wantonly smash the windows, furniture, &c. in tl e houses of the more peaceably inclined, during the intervals when not employed in breaking the heads of their opp..nents.— Suddenly, when the uproar swelled b.gb, a brisk and close charge was made in a moot determined. manner by a party of the police. The quickness of the move ments of the civil power disconcerted the ruffians, and they pittially rallied, and the offi-ets were com pelled to retreat under a shower of -heavy missiles:- 1n this retreat, several of the police rfficert vete desperately maltreated, two of them are now in tle Hospital from cuts on the head. The civil power, however, by a succession of determined attacks upon the mob, frightened the furious and senseless ruffians, and they finding their body become stao ! ,ering and ir resolute, retreated, and con ealed themselves in *the fastnesses of the vicinity. The officeis, however. se cured some, and they were yesterday committed from the Mary-'a &note office. Such was the disorder which the tumult occasioned, that it atone time was in con templation to send for the military. Riots of this ue scription are not of unfrequent occurrence,•and are always attended with bloodshed. Sunday evening a disgraceful Tilt took l lace in buck.lat.e, Orchard-street, Westminster.
