Letters were received yesterday from St. Peters rgh, to the 13th ult. The Exchange had fallen 9 1 / 4 to 3%. This unexpected tall tended to *tri the reports that were in Circulation as to the stile intentions of the Russian Court. A very emi at house at Dantzic had stopped payment to the onnt, it is said, of four millions of guilders. The lure is attributed to an extensive speculation in Ain, in expectation of the opening of the ports in country. This circumstance had caused a gloomy arAnce at Dantzic, and commerce was particu- II dull theme.

The following are more authentic particulars of this outrage: At about three-quarters past four o'clock, just as Captain WATERS and family' were going to dinner, the cottage he lives in was surrounded by a party of fellows wearing white bands round their hats. On being informed of this by Mrs. WATERS, who ran to him with the intelligence ;Cape. WArsas hastened to secure the front door, but was stopped at the parlour door, by four of the ruffians, armed with cavalry pistols, one of whom remained at the dour, while the other three went up to him, presented a pistol, and demanded his gun or his life. Captain %%Payees in. formed them that he had been long since plundered of his gun, with other arms, ammunition, &c. and had not got any since. They replied.he had, and he then told them they might search, upon which they swore they would shoot him, when a leader advanced and levelled his pistol at Capt. Warms' head, and also at Mrs. WATERS, who had thrown her arms round hi; neck. Captain WATERS seized the pistol with hi.left hand, near the muzzle, and succeeded in lowering it, but not sufficiently to point it clear of his own per son, as, on the villains firing, the contents (slugs) en tered his left side, between the ribs and hip, and also wounded him in the hand. They then departed, and on the same night visited Mr. O'KEErvz, of Mount- Keeffe, where they said they had left Capt. WATERS for dead. Thence they proceeded to Capt. Cue RAN'S, as we before mentioned, at • whom, the instant he opened his door, they snapped a pistol twice, but it missei fire, when the fellow deliberately cleared out his pan and put in fresh priming, but did not perse vere in his horrible intent. We are extremely grati fied in being enabled to state that Captain WATRRS, although very dangerously and severely wounded, is considered by his physicians out of danger, and they hope will be soon able to go out.—Cork Intelligencer. The report of the mansion of Captain Waws, of Drisahne Castle having been attacked, is unfounded. This Gentleman is very active in suppressing the din- turbances, and scarcely a night passes that either he or his brother GEORGE WALLts, Esq. accompanied by a large party of their own tenantry, mounted and armed, do not patrol the neighbourhood of Mill street, by which means they have, in a great measure, put a stop to the visits of those nocturnal marauders, who infest the neighbouring Barony. Capt. WALLIS has also made an offer to Government (if disturbances continue), to raise and mount, at his own expense, a' corps of thirty men.—lbid. EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE. About the hour of twelve, on the night of last Tuesday, a large party pf the peasantry, well armed, and consisting of more than 200 persons, went to the farm of Inch, which is situate between Ballingarry and Charleville, and in a short time destroyed a va luable orchar/ They felled 114 apple trees, 16 ash trees, and one elm tree. But devastation alone was not the object of the banditti, as they had brought with them about 100 horses and cars, for the purpose of removing the spoil. They partly effected their design, as they removed some of the timber from the premi , ei, shouting in triumph, and firing guns, as if in defiance of the civil or military power. The letter which has communicated this intelligence adds, that there is s report in the neighbourhood that the pea santry are determined not to leave a tree standing in that part of the country. The farm of Inch is part of the estate of JOHN MASON, Esq. and as informa tion was quickly given by his sons to Major Wm coots, of the perpetration of the outrage, some hopes were entertained that he would be able to discover some of the offender-.—Dublin Correspondent, Dec. 8. OUTRAGES IN MEATH. Some nights back, the house of the Rev. RALPH DILLON, of Taragh, was assailed by an armed ban ditti. They knocked and rang at his hall door; they fired without effect, and broke some of the windows with stones. The tire was returned from the house, but it is not ascertained whether any of the party were wounded, the night being very dark. The following night, three horses of Mr. LANGAN, miller, near Ardcath, were stabbed to death under his drays, going to Dublin market with flour ; the of-' fence, his having employed three labourers from the County of Leitrim to dig potatoes.—Dublin Patriot.

ALLAsoN V. RUSS. • Mr. DENMAN introduced the parties in this care to the Jury, as respectable tradesmen. The plaintiff is a stationer, residing in Bond-street, and the defendant, a baker, occupying a house nearly op ()site to the plaintiff's. Mi. Martin, of the house of Rodwell and Martin, having receiv ed from Scotland a present of grouse, he sent . a pair of them as a present to Mr. Allason, and he, willing to shew his friendly disposi tion to the defendant, gave the grouse to his servant, and desired that he should take them over to Mr. Diier. It seemed, however, that they were not so sweet as that Gentleman determined they might have been, and he pretended to fancy that they were. sent for the purpOse of insulting him. Without remon strance, and without complaint, he proceeded to the plaintiff's house, and inflicted upon him a very Severe. chastisement. His Learned and very eloquent Friend, Mr. Charles Phillips, who was for the defendant, might attempt by his brilliancy to dazzle their un derstanding, or by his humour to laugh the case out of Court, but he trusted that his client should obtain adequate compensation in damages, for this very severe and unprovoked insult. Mr. John Martin sent some grouse to the plaintiff in August last, and eat some of those which were sent to him at the same time. they were very good. Cross.exemined by Mr. Pnicstr&—How many brace did you receive from the North, Jr. Martin ?—Six, Sir. How many brace did you eat, Mr. Martin?—One brace. Did you examine the rest, Sir ?—Not particularly, I saw them. Upon your oath, in what state were they?—They were hi g h. Did you happen to see the box in which these grouse were conveyed to town ?—Yes. In what state was that box, pray tell us, Mr. Martin ?—lt was flied with small maggots. Joseph Baker said, that he had taken a brace of grouse front Mr. Martin's to the plaintiff's house, on the '24th of August. The plaintiff had not seen them, hut desired witness to take them over to Duer, with his respects. Witness gave them to Duer's son, who called his father out of a room, and he said, that he was sorry he could not send his respects back to Mr. Allason; did he mean to insult him? Witness then went over to Mr. Allason, and told him what occurred., Crass.erantined.—What are you, Sir ?—I am apprentice est Mr. Album. Did you perceive any peculiar smell about the game?—Thar were high. I smelt them while carrying them over. That was in the open air ?—Y“. Did you see anything about them 7-1 saw some maggots about them. What would you have taken to have made your dinner on one of them? The Cuter Jusuce.—He would have taken a grouse, Mr. Phillips! Mr, PHILLIPS...I am afraid, my Lord, he would have taken something more. Where was Mr. Duet, was be not at dinner when you brought him these valuable excitements ?—1 don't know. Was he in habits of strict intimacy with your master ?—I believe not. Will you venture to swear, that you have seen him dine at your master's house for the l ast two years ?—I cannot. Henry Wiz was passing down Bond-street, on the 24th of August, and on coming up near Duer's shop, he saw him with grouse in his hand, standing near the butcher's shop. He had a horsewhip in his hand, and witness heard him say, that he would horsewhip Allason, though it should cost him one hundred pounds. He then returned to his own shop. the plaintiff was there, and Duer went into an adjoining room, took up a horsewhip, and proceeded to beat the plaintiff about the legs until he broke the handle. It was a huntsman's whip, with the lash twisted round the handle. He retired to the room, put down the grouse, came out again and again, and several times he struck the plaintiff. Crors-examuted.—Where do you live, boy ?—With a dress maker. I believe Mr. Allison's brother resides also at the dress maker's?—Yes. Mr. Duer was exceedinglrangry ?—He was. There were other persons in the shop , grown up people ?—Yes. Quite as capable of giving an account of this transaction as yourself ?—Yes. All this time quiet Mr. Allmon never stirred or said any thing ?—No. Waited patiently to be beat a second time ?—He did. 1 Richard Young, who was passing through the street at this time, confirmed, the account given by the last witness. Mr. DENMAN said, that this was his case. Mr. CHARLES PHILLIPS proceeded to address the Jury on the part of the defendant. He said that his Learned Friend, Mr. Denman, had certainly deceived himself in supposing that, on this occasion, even had he the ability, he should feel inclined to occupy any portion of their attention upon a case which, even on the plaintiff's own chewing, rested upon so feeble a foundation. It was not a case for an eloquent or an idle display, but it was a case for impartial and dis pasionate consideration ; and now that the Jury had heard Mr. Denman's statement, and heard too the sort of evidence by which that statement was sought to be sustained, he would fearlessly and confidently ask them, was this a deliberate assault upon the part of the defendant? Had he sought for an opportu nity of committing it as Mr.Denman had told them? —Had it taken place, as was stated by his Learned Friend, in the plaintiff's own house, beneath the sanc tuary of his roof? If it had, it was a wanton, an unprovoked, and a deliberate assault—the defend ant deserved to be punished, and their verdict would visit him with a merited infliction. They must see, even upon the plaintiff's own evidence, how the case really stood. Two persons, not in habits of intimacy, not on visiting terms, as they heard from the plain tiff's own apprentice, who never remembered to have seen Mr. Duer inside his master's shop for the last two years, and one of these persons, under such cir cumstances, sends a brace of grouse to that man into whose house he was not in the habit of entering ! • New for what earthly purpose but that of insult could the plaintiff have sent grouse in such a state as these undoubtedly and undeniably were, but for the purpose of insulting the man to whom they were sent? It was a strange act of civility. The grouse were sent to him—v.l4e he was at dinner they arrived — the present and the name of the donor were an nounced by his son—he heard it with surprise—he left his dinner, for which he bad' but little appetite ' after he had received the grouse—(Afasigh)— he entered his shop, for be was a poor baker, and from the smell he imagined that his bread must have sud denly and miraculously putrified—(Load itssigliter). l The grouse, Gentlemen, continued the Learned Conn , sel s came from Scotland,whiali was p ret ty clear evidence sthey were not worth keeping there—(Lead laughing). ' The very hungriest of Ida leldesmen, Gentlemen, could not collect conrige enough tc, zppzonch them and I believe they would have actual's- walked back to Scotland, had there been any urecedent nr such a jenarney.—(Mr. Phillips was here itite:tupted b) the general laughte , which thi. pa' 1 of his :ipeech ex cited.)—The very leg of the grouse came off in his hand the moment he touched it, and he then ad dressed the plaintiff's apprentice, who wa; the bearer of this delicious cargo) inthe language wHcit he had mentioned that day, He shewed those gri:use to some of the neighbours, and after expatiating with great indignation on the insult thus tauselessly and deliberately offered to him, he returned to his own shop, and there he found, for the first time during two years, the plaintiff, Mr. Allason. It was said by the witness Baker, that the plaintiff could not have been informed of the state of the game. because be took them from the plaintiff's house to the defend ant's without his having even an opportunity of seeing them. But the very first address of the plain tiff to Mr. Doer proved beyond the shadow of doubt that he must have been acquainted with the state of the birds, for the defendant on return expostulated with him upon the insult, and his re) ly, deliberately wiping his face at the same moment, was, " I heard that you were fond of high game." The defendant then did what I admit he ought not to have done; he seized a whip, which was literally used, Gentle+ men, for the purpose of occasionally flogging a Tom Cat, and he gave the plaintiff a few blows across the legs !—(Laughter). The poor cat, I believe, was enticed on that occasion by the smell of the krousep and underwent a similar punishment—(Laugliter).— , Now, Gentlemen, the question is, under such circum stances, what damages do you think the plaintiff de. serves? Shall it be tolerated that a man is to be pro• yoked into outrage by insult, in order that the insult may prove a profitable speculation ? Perhaps it will be submitted to you, that this Gentleman ought to have exhibited a model of perfection. But, Gentle men, we must take humanity as it is, with all its moral and physical imperfections, and I trust that your 'verdict will sot arraign PROVIDENCE, who has planted in the hearts of men a feeling that cannot 51- lently suffer under deliberate insults. You will visit with very moderate damages, I am persuaded, this trifling, and certainly provoked, though not justi• fiable aggression. Samuel Duer was the first witness called for the defendant; he proved that he received the grouse at :a time when his father was at dinner; he told hit father that Mr. Allason had „sent him a brace of grouse, which he shewed to his father; they were full of maggots. Other witnesses spoke to the same effect. The CHIEF JIISTICZ summed up the evidence, and the Jury found a verdict for plaintiff—Damages, £25.

GRAND FIGHT BETWEEN NP. AT AND HItICIIAN. ALIAS THE GAS-MAN. This fight, which had excited so much interest and expectation,. not only among the boxing amateurs, but among the sporting men in general, took place yesterday, in the plains above Hungerford, 66 miles from the metropolis. It was one of the most tremen dous encounters recorded in the annals of the art, and left far behind the celebrated battle between Johnson and Big Ben. Its issue also disappointed most of the knowing-ones, for though both combatants were knows to be desperate hitters, yet the dreadful punishing right hand of Gas was expected to bear him through triumphantly. Neat and Gas entered the ring in high spirits, each anticipating victory. Tom Belcher and Harry Harmer were Neat s second and bottle-holder, Spring and Shelton second and bottle-holder to Gas. ROUND% The first and second rounds were to the advantage of Gas,. and, from his known nulling qualitits, betting rose two to one lit his favour. The third round was more equal, though he still maintained some superiority. The fourth round, though not the last, proved decisive of the fight. Neat, by his superior weight (14 stone to 12), and by his i style of fighting, made it apparent to the judges of the art, that he must be the winner. His left hand did dreadful execution.— Gas, who has the habit of breaking from his man and then rush ing in with desperate violence, received two tremendous hits, right and left, which floored him, and took the fight out of him. Fourteen other rounds were, however, fought after this, but he never recovered sufficiently to render the ultimate issue doubt. ful. In the 10th round, he shewed extreme weakness—the blood flew in torrents front his eyes and mouth ; he received a tee. tnendous blow, which felled him like an ox—and it was thought the gas was Mimi!, extinguished. Poor Gas was literally beat done blind, and he was otherwise punibbed in the most dreadful manner, being, at last, in a state of total insensibility ; whilst at the con clusion of the eighteenth round, when Neat was declared the victor, he neither had lost a drop of blood, nor had a scratched face to thew. Much money has been lost by the issue of this battle, the whole of which did not last more than 24 minutes. At a late hour last night Gas was' in so complete a state of exhaustion, that he was not expected to live. This must do away with any idea that this battle was a cross. The second fight, between the Suffolk Champion and Joshua Hutson, did not take place, in conse quence of some misunderstanding. The ring was attended by the amateurs both of London and Bristol, and the company was more than usually select. SHOCKING MURDER —Saturday an Inquest was taken at Great Torrington, in Devonshire, on the bcid'y of Mary Stevens, a single woman, and a verdict of Wilful Murder returned against Philip Chappd, a good looking young man, by trade a glover, who was on Monday morning committed to the county' jail at Exeter, under the Coroner's warrant. It ap. peared that the miserable girl was courted by Chap. pel, and pregnant. They had been seen walking to• gether on Friday evening near the spot where the body was found on Saturday morning, laying on a bank near a mill-pool. Bruises appeared on her fore head, yet from other circumstances it is conjectured she had been drowned in the mill-pond and drawn out again. She was an industrious girl, who sup ported herself by going out to work. Coax EXCHAIION • blaaa-trier, Dec. 12.—We had very fele buyers of Wheaktkis morning, with which article our Market , c ontinues ovyriueded, having no demand for the rough and Jere ! riot samples, the value of which is quite nominal, and even that lof prime quality met very heavy rale Ztionday's prices cos. trary to general expectation, there was no reduction in the price of flour.
