At Rochester, he was charged 2s. 6d. for a very ordinary cold sup per; the landlady demanded sixpence each, as a re gular thing for her trouble in waiting upon the party. .4t Canterbury, he gave 3s. for himself and com panion to the coachman. On arriving at Dover, he gave the coachman who drove him from Canterbury, a very short distance, Is. 6d. The coachmAn civilly said " Sixpence more, Sir, if you please—it is a re gular thing; we always have a shilling each." The guard, to whom he gave 3s. demanded four as a re gular thing, without any insolence, but with as much gravity as a baker would ask for the price of a guar tern loaf when he has delivered it to a customer. — Before a passenger leaves Dover, his things are of course taken to the Custom-house—a little boy from the inn may carry a parcel weighingegOlbs. for which he demands - Is. or Is. 6d.—you appear surprised; he appeals to the Commissioner, who civilly declares it a regular thing, and then the boy asks for something for himself, because the money already paid goes to hu employer, and he expects three-pence as a regular thing. Next comes the Commissioner of the Inn— ." Please to remember the Commissioner, Sir ;"—and then the Custom-house Officer, for taking the bag gage to the vessel. If you complain, they reply -4• It's a regular thing, Sir, 6xesl by the town. Lastly comes the ladder for descending into the, picket Sixpence, Sir; it is a regular thing." Thus from London to Calais there is nothing but imposi tion, against which you complain in vain, because it is a regular thing. At the moment in which I am writing this, the Steward of the King George enters the inn, and declares that he must have 2tis. for each passenger to Calais, instead of the usual fare, 10s. 6d.—because it is a regular thing when there is no steam-boat in the harbour, and you have only " Hobson s choice." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BOXING. BITWDIN WAND (the Black Dimond) AND ABBOT i ke conqueror of Oliver), Fos £5O A-SIDN, AT MOULSZT 1/111T. An unusual degree of Interest had been excited tbroughcut the Fancy respecting the event of this battle, in consequence of the superior sniffing talents displayed by Ward in his fight with Acton, and also hi his various exhibitions at the Fives Court, hut mot.: particularly in his set-to with Cy. Davis. At one o'clock Abbot threw his shallow into the ring, followed by Rich mond and Josh. Hudson as his seconds; and in a few minutes afterwards Ward, attended by Eales and Tom Jones, made iris appearance. The rounds were as follow: 1. Both the men appeared in fine condition ; and a minute or two elapsed, when Ward bit short with his left hand; but be soon rectified this mistake, by fobbing his opponent, getting away, and laughing at h im. In a close both went down, but Ward had the throw. 2. It was already seen that Abbot was a plaything in Ward's hands, who nobbed him with the utmost ease ; and linhhed the round by hitting him down.-7 to 4. 3. Ward, front his tapping. light play, wai denominated a Cltinss•nsast ; but nevertheless the head of his opponent was so much at his service, that he kept pinking without netting any return. Abbot was severely thrown. 4. The hackers of Ward were in high glee that it was all right, and Abbot received another fall, sufficient to burst him. 5. Abbot received a severe hit. and fell upon his knees. 6,7, 8. In all of these rounds Abbot appeared perfectly stu pid, from the repeated conkers he received, and the severe falls he experienced. 5 and 6to 1. 9, 10,11, 12. Abbot was so much at a loss that bit blows were thrown away; in fact, he had not the shadow et a chance. In the last round he received a tremendous cross•buttock. 13, 14, 15, 16, 17. The minds of the amateurs were so com pletely made np, in consequence of the superior talents die. played by Ward, who did as he liked with his opponent, that 10 to 1 was offered, but no takers. 18. Abbot was hit down, and the battle was considered all but over; so much so that Tom Belcher left the ring to get his pigeon to convey the intelligence to town of the defeat of Abbot. 19. At the conclusion of this round, Eales observing something wrong in his man, called out to Ward's backer, who immedi ately stepped into the ring, when Eales with much indignation I observed, " Ward says, he means to cut it this round, he shall lose it."—" No," replied his backer. 20. Ward now endeavoured to drop fighting, in order to give Abbot a chance; and actually, in an under tone, as we are in. -formed by his second, said to Abbot—" Now hit me." When Hales remonstrated with him for such conduct, he observed," I know my orders—l must not win it!"-100 to 1 on Ward. 21. Ward gave his opponent all the opportunity he could ; but Abbot was so distressed, that be could scarcely knock a fiy off a loaf; but Ward took care to go down. 22 and last. Ward went down after a slight skirmish, and on being picked up and placed on his second's knee, he wailed, but recollecting "his orders," and for fear that Abbot should glue in, he went off in a swoon, and when " time" was called he would not notice be tho ught proper to come to, and quit the ring. Rzatazus.—lt is impossible to describe the consternation as well as the Indignation expressed by the amateurs • and the re sult trust be a tie-up to prize fighting. So bare - fa ced a robbery was never before witnessed in the annals of pugilism. The Um pire, when asked his opinion, replied, " he could not swear it was a cross; but he was quite satisfied there was wrong conduct somewhere." The most honourable part of the sporting people declarid they would norpay at present; and several Gentlemen who have lost heavy stakes are to meet to investigate the matter; or in the slang phrase of the ems, this " ruddy mode luck" fight. Ward, on recovering from his stoops, made his way out of the sing, and In his eagernesss to get across the water to Hampton, jumped with the utmost ease over some ropes, laughing at the credulity of his backers. Two other fights took place, but the principal part of the ama teurs were so disgusted that they left the ring. The pickpockets mustered on the occasion in strong force, and laboured in their vocation with surprising ingenuity. A FEMALE PUGILIST. Yesterday Aim Morris was brought to Hatton-Garden Office, charged by a Guardian of the Night with being drunk and dis orderly. The watchman stated, that she had, long been die ter ror of Drury-lane ; that she had been nearly forty times in prison in the last four years; and that she had been only a week liberated from the House of Correction, three nights of which she had spent in the watch-house.—She was sentenced to one month's imprisonment ; on which, in the presence of the Magistrate,she struck the watchman a tremendous blow in the face, seized him by the hair, and gave him two or three ether lusty thumps, ex claiming "There, you b—y old thief, you shan't swear for nothing !"—She was then forcibly dragged away by the Officers. MORE GAMESTERS. Bow-emu:v.—Last night, at 7 o'clock, as soon as Sir RICHARD Blame and J. HALLS, Esq. took their seats, the officers Smith, Baker, Morris, and others, brought in J. Marc, Lewis Laine, Jaynes Thomas, Edward Roberts, 'Valiant Bond, William jam% Wil liam Brown, Samuel Brown, John Afainek, James Smith, John de Begat, William Ward. H. Walker, and lame( J:gckson, whom they had taken in a gambling-house, 33, Pall-mall, at half-past three yesterday afternoon. It appeared the officers had gone thither on the information of a Frenchman, who had been in the habit of playing there. Augustus de Asti (or some such name), the informer, was then called, and stated, that Jackson, one of the defendants, was pro prietor of the house ; he kept it for two French Gentlemen, one of whom was present ; he had seen him sit at the table during the time some Gentlemen were playing at roulette, and he received the money and kept the bank, which is usual in such games. He then detailed the situations of the doors. There is a door on the ground floor, at which a door-keeper is placed—a sensible one, that has a knowledge of the Fancy, and he is to admit none bat such as are known at the house. On him is placed the strongest reliance; and a Gentleman passing the first doer will never meet any obstacle in going through the second, which is on tht first floor, and at which is placed another door-keeper. Samuel Brown, another of the defendants, he also knows • his duty is to carry the roulette-board up stairs, and hand round the cards. Smith, the officer, was then called, and stated that he went yesterday afternoon, with Morris, Baker, and others, with a war rant to No. 35, Pall-mall, and entere d by a ladder at the first ' floor window, and proceeded through that room to the back room on the second floor ; but just before be arrived at the door, a Gentleman came out with a box in his band, and ran up Stain (the third pair) ; be entered the back room second pair, and found a box containing seven dozen and one counters and seven soiereigns and half a sovereign ;he also found, secret ed in a cup board, De Begat and another. Ruthann, the officer, said he got in at the first floor window, and went on to the second pair back room, the doors were locked; he heard the rattling of money within, and a confusion ; he heard something taken from the table, ft appeared from the sound to be scrapers ; when be entered he found the tables were in a con fused state. He found a box containing three sovereigns. The first person that struck his attention in the room was Jackson. A roulette table was here produced, and every equipment for the game. Nicholls, the officer, produced a roulette table found in the front room second-Roor, the wheel of the board had been takes out and placed under the side-board, the dish was remaining fixed in the table. There were several Gentlemen in the room quite in a consternation, among whom was Jackson. Baker and Morris produced a quantity of very curious cards used for the game, and a paper which they tore down from the wall, written on " Royal Game." The doors were fastened, and all appeared confusion when they entered. Mr. Ilan LS.-. 0 Do you, on year oath, believe the parties pre sent bad been to play?" Morris—" I have an doubt they were at play until alarmed by us, and verily be li eve the roulette board, &c. had been re moved to avoid discovery." halts—" From the circumstances there can be little doubt of it; and we have suflident presumptiVe evidence of the fact." Mr. Hamra, who appeared for the prisoners, here entered into great length of debate, and contended, there had nut been sufficient evidence to warrant a conviction. Ile very warmly contended that the Act of Parliament had not been satisfied ; the words of the Act were, that they should be found " playing or betting at," and he hoped the Magistrate would not enforce so premature a decision as to convict a body of people who had been, since they were taken without the means of gaining assist ance.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sta—Reading in your Paper of Friday last an ac count of the fall of Ethelbert s- Tower, at Canterbury; that it was built by Ethelbert, who reigned in Kent in the year 860 ; and that he was converted to Chi is tianity by Austin, I beg leave to correct that account, which I afterwards saw copied into another Daily Paper. King Ethelbert who is said to have erected that Tower, reigned upwards of 260 years before the abovementioned date, and was converted from Pa ganism by St. Augustine. who, with other Monks, was sent into this island by Gregory the Great, anno 597 ; he was the fourth successor of Hengist, died in the year 616, and was buried at Reculver, where 'he had a palace. Ethelbert who reigned in 860 was one of the sons of Ethelwulph, King of Wessex, who left four sons, 'viz. Ethelbald, Ethelbert, Ethelred, and Alfred the Great. On the death of Ethelbald, who succeeded hi, father, Ethelbert became possessed of Wessex, who had been already reigning in Kent, Surrey, and Sussex. He died anno 866.-1 am, Sir, yours, &c.

Last night, about seven o'clock, as one of the Ire bridge coaches was passing up Holborn, opposite to the King's Arms, at the usual pace of travelling, the axletree snapped in two, in the middle between the fore and hind wheels, by which accident the carriage fell; it was full of passengers, both inside and out ; but none were otherwise injured than by fright, ex cept one person, who immediately received medical assistance; the rest were directly supplied with hack ney-coaches, by which they were conveyed back to the Bell, in Holborn, whence they took another con veyance to the place of their original destination:— No blame appeared to attach to anybody on this oc casion, unless it be the want of more cautious inspec tion of the carriage before setting out.

In recording, in our last, the downfall of the great est portion of Ethelbert's Tower of the once magni ficent Monastery of St. Augustine, we expressed a hope that its remaining portion (the eastern side) might yet, after having so long resisted the rude hand of time, defy that of the destroyer, and still be per mitted to stand the monument of its former grandeur; for it is evident that, had it been firmly joined to its connecting flanks, their weight would have involved it in one common ruin. It would seem, therefore, that this flank of the Tower has remained nearly in its present state for many years, rather giving support to, than receiving it from, its lately connecting angle, and hence the failure of those efforts which, as yet, have been used to destroy it. .After having been frus trated in the attempt at a partial detholition by ropes and other futile means, it is now contemplated to batter it down by a piece of timber shod with iron, but, in the event of the failure, then to relinquish all further prosecution of the object—and it is devoutly to be wished that such may be the result.—Kentish Gazette, Oct. 22. p ruin wobAggiiii
