Yesterday morning, as soon as it was light, gronpes of pedestriani were seen on the Uxbridge-road, tramping along to witness the above grand fight ;, and by eight o'clock carriages of all descriptions were rattling along, from the splendid barouche and four down to the donkey and hampers. By eleven, twenty thousand persons had collected on the ground, in a field near Hayes, between the Bridge and the Turn pike. It is impossible to describe the sensation this fight has occasioned in the Sporting Circles.. The fame of Scroggins, from his having conquered six pugilists in succession, had made such a strong im pression on the minds of the Fancy in general ; that he was thought to be almost invulnerable ; and even Scroggins himself felt impressed with the same idea, and fought £lOO against Turner's £5O. At eighteen minutes to one Turner appeared in the ring, dressed in a fashionable drab great coat, and threw up his hat, and Seroggins immediately followed. Crib tied the yellow handkerchief belonging to Turner on the posts of the ring, and Oliver immediately placed the blue one belonging to Semggins alongside of it. The combatants shook hands together before they stripped. The time having arrived for the commencement of the fight, Oliver and Clark appeared as seconds to Scroggins, and the Champion of England and Harry Harmer attended upon Turner. Three to one was the current betting against the latter, and many thou sands were depending on the event. Turner was an object of great curiosity, from his late unfortunate battle with Curtis. The ring measured twenty-four tint, and the numerous carriages round it formed an elegant amphitheatre. Lord Yartsawria and Colonel &arm acted as the time keepers. THE BATTLE. aeons 1.

Symptoms of disorder appeared sheet the ring, which the per. sessions of the Cemesebnie•Cide, see the immediate Justice of the castigators present could subdue, even with horsewhips with indiscriminate vengeance, right and wrong; and the stakes, the proprietorship of the Pugilistic Club, went to rack and ruin.

Thither thousands repaired, notwithstaading the heavy rain, and at half-past ilve. in 66 the pitiless pelting shower," the above boxers entered the ring. A more manly fight was never witnessed, the first round occupying upwards of seven minutes, and the whole of the other .atzteen were equally as well fought; scarcely any closing occurred bevreen them.

MIDWIN AND ANOTHIER This was an action by Mr. Stedman, of thistowa an attorney, against Messrs. Medwir and Soo, two other attornies of this town, for a libel reflecting on his professional character. Mr. MARRYAT, tor the plaintiff, stated, that he was an attorney, who had been re.ident in l-for!!)ae l for fourteen years, aid during that time had con. ducted himself with that propriety and ihtegsity din he bad justly acquired the friendship and patronage of the surrounding Gentry. Med w;n, s re. hid lived much longer in the place, lied had formerte held some of the appointments whish were now held rby Mr. Stedman. It happened that in the LE at. tumn the Horsham Bank because bankrupt, and Mr. Stedman, being Clerk to the Magistrates,. was atten ding at the Bench, when one of the Gentlemen asked what was to become of the Horst Barn Farm? a l. hiding to a farm which had belonged to Mr. stead, one of the partners in the bank. M r . gird a sis replied it was advertised for tap, brit that be tboaght the mortgagee, who was to sell it, ci uld not .hake out a good tide without the assignees jostling ti re. lieve the equity of redesiipt,on, although the more. gagee might have a power to sell by the mortgage deed ; and he understood that Mr. White, the man. gagee, had not authorized the advertisement for sale. This was all that passed. When to his surprit-, a day or two afterwards, Mr. Meths in, ills. arid a Mr. Clough, his clerk, cause to his house and demanded an explanation of his conduct in attacking their cha racters as professional men, by stating that they had advertised the Hurst Barn Farm for sale, without authority from the mortgagee. Mr. SieJmln desired first to ascertain the trnth of their accusation White they so peremptorily demanded apologies And repa ration, for he had not attacked them or their chow. tees. This mild reply, however, produced nothing but abuse, and they, or rather Mr. Medwin, jun. turd himle was a liar, a lying puppy, &c. AA a great deal more language of the same sort. A day or two 'afterwards brought another letter, demanding th;t Mr. Stedman should sign an apology, such as Mr. Medwin should dictate. To this Mr. Stedman tem. perately replied, disclaiming all matter of offence, and offering to refer all the matter, his conduct, ans their outrage before his wife, to any Magistrate cf the County, of their own naming. Such, however, was the perverse feeling. of the defendants, that this letter was sent back open, without any answer, awl the letter written to Mr. Tredcrofr, which contained the libel complained of. . _ _ Mr. Atmnews, for the defendant, urged, that Mr. Stedman might well hare spared the action ; Lim he had irritated Mr. Medwin, by stating at a public meeting that he bad acted without the authority of the mortgagee, in advertizing the sale of an estate; that when applied to, he did nothing to soothe the feelings of Mr. Medwin, but irritated them still turther. Mr. Mitaazar having shortly replied, the Learned Judge told the Jury, that this was a question of as suages, and entirely for their eoruideratism. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages it.so. BIRTHS.
