The only set-to was between Harry Holt and Neale. It was an excellent one, but Harry had the best of it. Bishop Sharps was there, but the Gypsy was so much hurt in the late fight that be could not she .—Jaren did :hew, and, like a scientific little man, he par ried, as well as he knew how, all cross arguments. The delu sion was £lOO to a prig's neckcloth, and Lowey, although never built to beat his adversary, thought it safe not to Ky.—Dora litpdson was matched to fight Neale, in six weeks, for £2.i— en deposit. BOW-STREET.—A Gentleman of the name of Black more made application to Mr. Minsnum., for a war rant against a Gentleman, an Officer in the Army, for having written him a letter calculated to provoke •him to a breach of the peace. Mr. MINSHULL granted the warrant, and yester day Mr. Buckland appeared before the Magistrate to answer the complaint of Mr. Blackmore. Mr. Black more handed the letter he had received from Mr. Auckland to Mr. MINSHULL, who said its contents were decidedly of a hostile nature, and he should call on Mr. Buckland to find securities to keep the peace. Mr. Buckland (a gentlemanlike looking young man), evidently struggling under stifled resentment, requested the Magistrate to listen to a few words which Wiad to say, and when h e was h ear d h e h a d no dou the statement made by that -- Gentle man would shew bow much his (Mr. Buckland's) feelings must have been ezcited. Mr, Buckland then entered into an explanation of certain domestic circumstances, out of which the provocation had arisen, and concluded with saying that if he had met him, that he was determined to horsewhip him. Mr. Mnispou.—Sir, you must not repeat such things here. This violence must be restrained. Mr. Blackinorn—That fellow horsewhip me ! I think I could manage that as well as him. Mr. Dockland—Mad you, Sir, (to Mr. Minshull,) felt as I must feel, on an occasion where the peace of a respectable family is injured, I don't think ysu could do much less than horsewhip the person who had so ill-treated yop or your family. I would have horsewhipped him till my wrist was broken had I met him. Sir RICHMID Bisects—let me look at the letter. (The letter was then banded to him.) I really must say, Mr. Minsbull, that this letter is no challenge from this young Gentleman, although it might provoke a challenge from the other party. Mr. Mntsmitt—The letter, as well as the declarations of Mr. Buckland, proved, that he intended to commit a breach of the peace, which it is our business to pr e v ent . A n d, t h ere f ore, Mr. Buc hiand, I shall call upon you to enter into your own re cognizance in the sum of sr**, and two respectable sureties in XIS° each, that you keep the pease towards all his Majesty's subjects. and particularly towards Mr. Illackmore, Mr. Buckland—Really, Sir, I think the sureties are too high. I am, it is true, an othcer in the army, now living with my friends at Kepsington ; but at present I am on half-pay. 3lr. Alissnea—That m.y be; but looking to your temper of mind, even in this othce, I think I cannot thi them at less; they ought to be higher. liuckland,l assure you, Sir, that but foe the respect I bear you- and the place In which I am, I could But I shall abide by your decision. Mr. Blackmore—Under correction, may I ask you, Sir, if you did not express an istemhis of moo going to France Sir R. Braispr—Then, sir, you, will hive the less danger to apprehend from this young Gentleman. 31insisett —You must be booed over till the Sessions. 31r. Blsckmore-11 you please, till they are concluded. Sir ft. Btaxic..—As you are lirAe la ' Sir, and come here for protection, I shouts] imagine yogi algae Wpm the legal import of binding a man over till the Spisions. Mr. Miusaqu.-"rbet it be for aye or two years. Mr. Backlami—illot may I ash if that will not prevent my going to the Continent ? Sir U. kitgam—No, Sir, the very mew; you can in the Wuxi* go where you please, sad' net endanger this Gentle- nuns safety. - Mr. Musitugt.--If Mr. Blaamore has behaved improperly a 7 our family, there is another mode of redress. Mr. Buckland-01 4 no, Sir, beyond what I have told you. aqa glad we have so early disc overed Mr. hlntsitutt,—lndeed I think it had better be for two years. W. Dockland-3 , 1y enmity you may depend, Sir, will sub side long before one year shall have expired. Sic K. litatins.--Weil, j this Mr. inackmore should also and, bail; for who knows when this young Grab:man is bound up ( that the other party may not live some provocation ?

Mr. Iluckland's bail were in attendance, and, having signed the be , left the 'o ffi ce, Mr. Jkluckland Windy thanking the blegistrates for their kindness. Mr. Blackmore also entered into the necessary recognizances, and his father and another etattlentait were taken as his sureties.

Ist. For conduct incompatible whit the duty of an Officer, in traducing the Government under which his Majesty's orders had placed him, by describing and characterising a public reso lution and measure of that Government, relative to Lieutenant. Colonel Robison, as a Military Officer, as " an unwamntable tyrannical exercise of authority, which reduces every Officer in India to a state of slavery equal to that of the Gentlemen in the Russian service ;" the above rnali.mant expressions forming part of the first paragraph of a letter, dated the 9th of June, 1822, addressed and sent by Lieutenant-Colonel Robison to, and re , caved by, the Chief Secretary to the Supreme Government, and lan which, instead of offering any explanation of his conduct, or soliciting any redress, he declares, that " he does not entertain the smallest hope of justice or redress from a Government capable of acting as the Government (as he therein alleges) had acted towards him." 2d. For having pointed insulting and scandalous remarks at the head Dille Supreme Government, who was at the same time Lieutenant-Colonel Robison's Military Commander-io-Ch:ef, • in the eighth paragraph of the above letter ; and in particular in stating, that he hoped the Head of the Government would pro mulgate that it " is resolved to turn any Officer out of the coon. try, at twenty-four hours' notice, who dares to publish a single comment or sentiment upon public affairs, distileasing to them, no matter what motives actuated him : if the Government fancy it contains thc least offensive matter, the writer shall be turned out of his house and quarters, like a dog with the mange, at the point of the bayonet, and left, sick or well, ready or not ready, to march off and embark fur Europe, if the sea coast be seven hundred miles distant?' 3d. For abusive and grossly insubordinate language applied to, and highly reflecting on, the Commander-in-Chief, in the 10th and 11th paragraphs of the above letter, charging the Com mander-in-Chief with " taking to himself the peculiar merit of inflicting on him (Lieutenant-Colonel Rohikm) truly despotic, degrading, and inhuman measures," and accusing the Com mander-in-Chief of "more inconsistencies, acts of injustice, and barefaced abuses of power and p itronage, during his command of the Army in India, than are to be found in the annals of mili tary transactions tor 50 years before be came out to India." Whereupon the Court passed the lollowing sentence: .. the Court having maturely weighed and considered all that has been adduced in support of tbe prosecution, as well as what has been btought forward on the defence, are of opinion, that the prisoner ' Lieutenant-Colonel William Itobi so n, o f hi s Ma jesty's 24th Regiment, is Guilty of all and every part of the charges preferred against him, with the exception of the word scandalous, contained in the second Charge, of which they do therefore acquit him." " The Court having found the prisoner Guilty, as above sp., dried, do therefore adjudge him, the said Litutenaut-Colonel William Robison to be reprimanded in such manner as the Of. &er approving this Sentence nsay think proper. " The Court are induced to award this lenient sentence in consequence of lAeutenant-Colonel William Robison's long and Meritorious services, and tbe high character which he has pro duced on his defence, from the late Governor-General, as a con fidential servant of Government." Adverting-to the nature of this case, as it appears on the fece:Of the proceedings,..and le the character of the charges, Of which Lieutenant-Colonel Robison was found guilty, the King was please d p. direct that the Commander-in-Chief spould romulgate to the Arm/ his Majesty's sentiaient's'`U n the inadequate m and inconsistent lbtente df ilk • , with reference to offences of which they : heal kind the prisoner guilty; and,. which ..were.equally it violation of the discipline of the Artnr, as they.were a breach of that deference andrespect due to the Lbstinanished,Noble . . 9 man placed in the tit s tation of advernor-General, .. .- and Commander-in-L, of in India. Upon these grounds the Commander-in-Chief deems it essential, notwithstanding the death of Lieutenant- Colonel Robison, which occurred on the passage from India, to make known these, his Majesty s sentiments; in order to maintain that discipline and subordina tion so essential to the interests and credit of the Army at large, and to check any attempt made by inferior Clfficers to set high authority at defiance, and to insult those who administer command in his Ma jesty's name. His Majesty was pleased to observe, that no in stance could occur wherein a spirit of insubordination and of contempt for superior authority had been carried to greater length than upon the occasion which gave rise to this Court; por any instance in which the sentence of a Court Martial has been more calculated to encourage, rather th an to repress, th e recurrence of crimes of a nature so grave, And of tendency so dangerous to the Army; for the rank and long services of Lieutenant-Colonel Robison, instead of affording a plea for the lenient, dangerous, and improper feeling shewn by the Court towards him personally, aught to have been deemed by them, in the exercise of their duty, a strong aggravation of an offence against discipline, so extensive in its evil tendency, inasmuch as the effect of such conduct upon others muxt produce an influence pernicious in proportion to the deference and respect paid to the character of the individual who offends. Though the death of Lieutenant-Colonel Robison precludes that mark of the King's displeasure which his - Majesty's sense of what is due to the Army might have led his Majesty to inflict, yet his Majesty feel.; it indispensable to the well-being of the service, to reprobate, in decided terms, the dereliction of duty as a soldier and as a subject, which marked the in subordinate and factious conduct of that Officer.
