BOXING. CARUHLR, MARCH 31.—Geo. Irving, of Moss-band, and .Toka Lamb, shoemaker, of Longtown, were the heroes of a mid, for two guineas aside. The fight took place on Thursday, at Sarkfoot, near the place rendered classical by Oliver and Car ter some time since. It Was real Woolsey Hurst milling, the bank lasting one hour and ten minutes, during which 49 mune.: took place. After the first three, it was all Botchergate to a chandler's shop in favour of Irving, but Lamb was not sheepish ; although a bad giver, he was an eacellent taker : his receptions were in grand style; he got his nob in chancery once or twice, but he bore it very well, and although he was sot able to Jib so well as his opponent, he refused to lie unnecessarily. I n the course of the fight, he had got more in his bread-basket than he could hold, hence the knowing ones were obliged to convey him home by holding him on horseback. MATCH TO RUN AND RIDE TWENTY-SEVEN MILES IN TWO HOURS. • This sh.gular match, made by a Gentleman named Panskre, for 100 guineas, was decided on Monday, on the Basingstoke and Andover road, and it afforded much sport. Mr. Paosarr had backed himself to do eight miles within the hour on foot, over a two-mile piece of ground, which he accomplished as fol- 1 lows;—First two miles in 13 min. 50 sec.—Second ditto, in 13 min. 00 sec.—Third ditto, in 14 min. 10 sec.—Fourth ditto, 15 min. 10 sec. completing it In 56 min. 7.o'sec.—Thus the pedes trian accomplished nearly half a mile over the eight miles before he mounted a fine blood mare, and rode over a piece of ground of four miles and a half, with room to turn at each end. lie did ten miles in thirty-four minutes, keeping his male upon the fret to go on. He had rather more than eight miles and a half to do in the next twenty-six minutes, and he accomplished it cleverly three minutes within time, and won a good extra stake. PONTEFRACT SPRING MEETING.

HOUSE OF LORDS, APRIL Z. Mr. Jounsosi, from the Office of the Irish Treasury, pre-ented certain Accounts, pursuant to the Order of the Douse. Sir JOHN NEWPORT, attended by forty or fifty Members of the House of Commons, brought up the Bill for removing certain Disabilities fronr the Roman Catholics. Mr. Mutsu, from the Commissioners of the Holyhead Roads, presented an Account of the Improvements made between Shrewsburry and Bangor-ferry. Lord KENYON presented a Petition from Sudbury against the Roman Catholic Claims. His Lordship said he fully coin cided in the sentiments of the Petitioners. Lord ERSKINE presented two Petitions from Owners and Occupiers of Land in the neighbourhood of Horsham and Arun del, praying relief from Agricultural Distress. The Bishop of LONDON presented a Petition from the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Hereford against the Roman Catholic Claims. The Irish Witchcraft Bill was read a third time and passed. ROMAN CATHOLICS. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE said he rose to call the attention of their Lordships to a Bill which had just been brought up from the other House of Parliament, for the relief of his Majesty's. Roman Catholic subjects, and also to move that it be read a first time. Connected as he was with numbers of Roman Catholics, and anxious as he was to relieve them from the degrading disabilities under which they laboured, he hailed the arrival of a measure (...f justice and of mercy like this, which had received the sanction of the other House of Parliament; and he should not think that he bad done his duty, if he were not to advocate the cause of the Roman Catlxi ' i Tics on this, as well as on former occasions ; and from the Communications which he had lately had with •persons in high situations, he had the be,t grounded hopes for believing, that in the progress of the measure, such Amendments would be made in it, as would remove all the objections that had been urged against the Bill, without altering one iota of the securities. 'From the late communications he had had with several persons, he was persuaded that this measure might also be so modified as to do away every objection which the Roman Catholics them selves might entertain against it ; and give perfe:t security at the same time to the Protestants. It was under these circumstances that he advocated the pre sent Bill, and should move, that it be read a second time on Tuesday next. He should also move, that the Bill be printed, in order that their Lordship; might have au opportunity of fully considering it, previous so the second reading. • The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, he did not rise for the purpose of makiag any opposition to the Bill being read a first time. Comia'L. , ,, as it did, from the other House of Parliament, after having received the sanction of that House, it was tit that it should re• ceive the moseserious consideration ; and, whatever the issue of it might be, he hoped the measure would undergo the most temperate discussion in that House —(Hear, hear).—lt would be indecorous in him at. this time to enter into any observations on the prin ciple of this measure. But as he had formerly taken an active part in this question, he thought it neces sary, even in this stage, to declare, that when a pro position was made for reading the Bill a second time, he should object to it—(Hear, I.car).—The Bill, as it now stood, consisted of two parts. The first had for . _ its object the removal of certain disabilities, of which the Roman Catholics complained; the second part went to establish certain regulations with respect to the Roman Catholic Clergy. To ooth these he ob jected. He should never consent to grant to the Roman Catholics those privileges which the Bill pro. posed to give them ; but if they were to be granted, and that he could bring himself to consent to such grant, he would not-annet to any of these, conditions that which must take away from the grace and favour of the concession proposed to be made. He should not say anything more upon the subject at present, but reserve himself for the second reading of the Bill. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE felt himself bound ito make some reply to what had fallen from the 'Noble Earl, in regard to securities. This was a poiss on which he felt in the same manner as the Noble Earl ; although he was sorry the Noble Earl did not agree with hoti as w the task part of the Bill. For
