A severe battle was fought yesterday morning in a field, on the Merstham road from Tooting, an enemy having been found upon the sneak in the vicinity of Tooting Common, where the stake of twenty sovereigns was to have been cOntended for. The candidates fur the prize were Joel Norris, from the West, who once had a turn at Bristol Cabbage, for love, in a travelling name, and Harry Owls, a Crawley youth of promise. The owners of the field played at the whiter bog game as skilfully as any of the Commissary Department could work it, and with vigilant assistants. Harris was seconded by Jem Budd, and Moss handled Owen well. Round 1. There was much manoeuvring for first hit, which was received by Harris on the chest, and it was returned upon Owen's lug, when a mischievous rally ensued, and both fought without flinching front the scratch, until they stopped for wind. With their nobs well crimsoned, they turned-to again, after having disengaged themselves and rallied each other as instinctive as a well-bred buffer would run at a bull's nose. The round lasted nine minutes, and the vision of Owen was queered, but he drew his adversary's eye tooth, and floored hint. 2. Both were piping from hard work, and the claret dropped merrily. Owen was thrown a smashing sumnterstt. 3 and 4. But little mischief was done, with the exception that Harris was the best thrower. S. Owen had got his second wind, and he led with much gaiety, and placed some " chanceryfietr bits on his adversary's nob ' • but that was no denial, and he went up to his adversary and gr assed hint by a tie-up body hit. Even betting, and " Bravo, both!" was the order of the shouts. From this until the ninth round there was much hard fighting, which smashed the features of each ; and the ninth round closed by Owen receiving a heavy fall, which bent him. 10. Owen made the play with much dweration s , and had the best of a ganie rally, and closed one of his adretsary's ogles; but it was his last effort. He was thrown again. 11. Harris went in to make a finish. Owen was too weak to ope rate. It was Father Thames to a duck pond—he was again thrown. Oiven stood out two other rounds, when time told him out, and Harris was declared victor after forty minutes gallant fighting. • Tuesday, a pitched battle, for sixty guineas, half minute time, took place about five miles from Uptoty between Jordan, a water man, of Worcester, and Wheeler, a navigator. They entered the ring about four o'clock, and soon afterwards set to; Jordan, se conded by Johnson, of the London school ; and Wheeler, attended by Lydiatt, a provincial bruiser. In the third round Jordan planted a heavy blow above his opponent's left eye, which produced a copious supply of claret. In the next five rounds Wheeler bored his man dossn, without gaining any advantages ; but, during the four last rounds, Jordan changed his system of fighting, went in to his adver sary, and hit him severely about the head—four to one on Jordan.— Wheeler stood up one more round, only to receive similar punish ment, and he then gave up the contest. 2 3 4 S • . •EPORTING MATCH BETWEEN LORD KENNEDY AND MR. W. COKE. The following is a full.:r account of this Match, the result of which was given is the Stax of Saturday : . The bet between Dlr. William Coke and `Lord Kennedy was for ZOO sovereigns a-side, play or pay, who shot avid bagged the greatest number of partridges in two days sporting ; both parties to shoot on the same days, the 2Gth of September andlthe 4th of October, in the present season. Mr. Witli. m Coke to sport upon his uncle's manors, in Norfolk ; and Lord Kennedy in any part of Scotland he pleases. The result of Mr. Coke's first day's shooting was 806 brace of birds bagged. On Saturday, October 4, Mr. W. Coke took the field soon after six o'clock in the morning ; he was accom panied bj his uncle, T. W. Coke, Esq. M.P. and by the two Um tZCokmel Dixon for Mr. Coke, and F. S. Blunt, Esq. for Lord tedy ; also by two of his ftiends, Sir H. Goodrich, Bart. and F. Hollyhocke, Esq. He was attended by several gamekeepers, and by one dog only, to pick up the game. Several respectable neighbouring yeomen volunteered their services in assisting to beat for game, and rendered essential service throughout the day. Mr. Coke sported over part of the Wistful and Egmere manors. The looming was foggy, and the turnips were so wet that the birds could not lie among them. Very little execution was done in con. sequence in the early part of the day ; in the two first hours only six brace of birds were bagged. The day cleared up after eight o'clock, and the sportsman amply made up for his previous lost time. , He found birds plentiful among Mr. Denny's fine crops of turaps on the Eimere Farm, and in one twenty-acre breck of Swedes, he bagged 346 brace of birds. He concluded his day's sport soon after six in the evening, and bad then bagged 88 brace of birds and five pheasants; but a dispute having arisen among the Umpires about one bird, Colonel Dixon gave the point up, and the . number was ultimately declared, to be 876 brace of birds bagied; pheasants and other game net counted in the match.— So that Mr. W. Coke's number of birds bagged in the two days shooting stands 173 brace. He had much fewer shots in the second than'in the first day, but he shot better, as will be seen from the comparative number of birds bagged. On Saturday he bagged 180 birds from 327 shots, which was considered good shooting in a match of this nature, when a chance, however desperate it may appear, is not to be thrown away, his uncle, T. W. Coke, Esq. loaded a great part of the guns on Saturday, and as a finale to the day's sport, shot at and killed the last bird, which his nephew had previously missed. Lady Anne Coke was in the field a great part of the day; her Ladyship carried refreshments fur the sportsmen ] in her pony gig. EXPERT SHOOTING. Mr. FAlwarls, a member of the MidgiamPigerm-shonting Club, having backed himself for one hundred sovereigns against Mr. IV , lntosh, of the Ashton Club, who should kill the most head of game in thirty-five shots, the match took place on Monday, in Ox lorilshire, on the high grounds-from Caversham Park, near Reading, in the direction for Ner:kbed, each having an umpire to decide the most shots, and to prevent going over each other's grounds. Mr. Edwards kept t track stated, and his opponent shot on the slant of the hills towards Henley-upon-Thames. The parties commenced at seven o'clock in the morning, and at twelve Mr. Edwards had taken all his shots, and bagged twenty-six partridges, four pheasants, anti three hares at singles, as per articles, missing two shuts. Mr. M•lntoshfinished at two o'clock, and killed twenty-two partridges, six pheasants, and three hares, losing the match by two shots. It was a spurting match between the members of the two Clubs.

A few days ago, a young Lady of Carlow, twenty. five years of age, and twenty-seven inches in height, took a fancy to a strapping young fellow of that neigh- bourhood, and eloped with him; first taking eighty guineas from her father's desk ; the fugitives were, how. ever, pursued, taken, and comfortably lodged in the gaol of that town. he wags , alluding to the stature of the fair one, combined with other matters, say that she will be made a show of at the next Assizes. The conviction of Henry Bardon and John Elgar, at the Lite Old Bailey Sessions, for highway robbery in the Edgware-road, at eleven o'clock at night, having excited great interest in the neighbourhood, as well as in. the whole of Mary.la-bonne parish, it being considered very improbable that a robbery should be committed in so public a thoroughfare and at so early an hour in the night; and the prosecutor having absconded immedi ately after the trial, the neighbours became extremely anxious for farther investigation, and Mr. Sheriff LAURIE and Sir RICHARD BIRNIE have consequently been em ployed during the whole of the past week in examining witnesses, and taking depositions of respectable persons, which contradict, in every material circumstance, the evidence of the prosecutor, and have left no doubt in the minds of the worthy Sheriff and the Chief Magistrate of the innocence of both the prisoners. The eight depo sitions have accordingly been taken by the Sheriff to the Secretary of State fur the Home Department; and if really guiltless; they will be rescued from that shame ful death to which the laws of their country had, upon such false evidence, consigned diem? POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Tar Esters COACH RODIRSTrmiIIO horse-dealer who was charged en suspicion of having uttered a number of the Birming barn Bank stolen notes, knowing than to have been stolen, under went a Seal examination before the LORD MAYOR Elect. The prosecutors had no evidence to adduce en this occasion beyond that already stated. The LORD Maros Elect said, if the prisoner would act so in cautiously as to take country notes from persons of whom he knew nothing, and took no care to know, he must put up with such in conveniences. Circumstances might, however, yet turn up, which would render it necessary to take the prisoner in custody again.— His Lordship then discharged the prisoner. GUILDHALL BUR6LAlT.—Charies Emu, a well-known character under other names than that which he chose to assume on the present occasiou, was charged before the Sittibg Magistrate, Mr. Alderman Woou, with a burglary in the house of William Gilbert, a butcher, re siding at No. 21, Long-lane, on Sunday last, under circumstances which chew the accurate information these thieves obtain before they make what is termed their plane. On searching Evans at the Compter, none of Mr. Gilbert's gro fterty was found upon him, but he was amply furnished with s'ke leton keys and other implements of house-breaking, and a dark lantern, with the candle alight in it, was taken from -his coat pocket. Several locks bad been opened in the house, but, with the exception of 40s. worth of halfpence, the only property missed was tour silver spoons (a batchelor's whole stock of plate!), two mourning rings, a brooch, and a pencil-case. The prisoner, from his own experience, was too well acquainted with the nature of evidence, and too good a judge of his present situation, to offer any defence in that stage of the business, and was committed to Newgate for trial. HATTON-GARDEN. - - - - - Suspicion being entertained that the burial-ground for the poor be onging to the parish of' St. James, Clerkenwell, had recently been disturbed by some rude violators of the sanctuary of the grave, Mr. John Scott, the Churchwarden, appointed a watch, the report of whom confirmed his suspicions; and he accordingly, last Monday night, resolved on watching bimstlf. The result was the. apprehension of three persons, who were yesterday morning brought to this office. They gave their names William Thomas, Thomas Kelly, and John Shearing, alias Ammon. From the depositions it appeared that two bodies were, on the day preceding, interred in one grave. About one o'clock on the fol lowing morning, the parties on watch heard distinctly a noise as if proceeding from the striking of a spade against a stone. They im mediately determined on entering the ground and securing whoever they found there ; and to prevent any possible escape, parties were stationed to watch at every corner of the ground. The party, on entering the ground, found, on attempting to open the lock of the gate, something within resist the key, and which afterwards they found to be a skeleton key left by the body-stealers in the key-hole. In consequence, before they could enter, a delay and noise was made, so that on their getting within the ground, they saw the men running towards the lower part of the ground, and immediately after heard a sound as if of some heavy body dropping into a quan thy of water. This sound was repeated thrice, and was discovered to proceed from the dropping of the prisoners into the Fleet-ditch, which runs along at the boundary of that part of the burial-ground. On their attempting to get out of the ditch, they were secured by some of the party on watch outside. The sexton, as soon as day break, searched the burial•ground, where he found two coffins on the surface of the earth, one of which' was empty. The contents of the empty coffin were found close by, concealed within a sack. _ Mr. Serjeant Strcon considered the evidence sufficiently conclu sive to warrant him in committing the prisoner. Mr. F. B. Singleton and Mr. John Slagiaim were brought up by Read, jun. tinder a warrant of assault. Mr. Mason, shopman to Mr. Post, ironmonger, at Iblingtort, stated, that they had been induced to give credit on the plausible story told by the elder Mr. Singleton, but which account, for rea sons that had subsequently occurred to them, they felt anxious to obtain. Repeated calls had been made, but no money being focth coming, Mr. Mason at last declared be would stay till he was This being inconvenient to Mr. Singleton, he, with the aid of his son, forcibly ejected his troublesome creditor from his premise,- Mr. Serjeant Siamox, after a patient hearing of the case, declared that Mr. Singleton was perfectly justified, as It did not appear that hf had used more force than was necessary to effect the turning of 11r. Mason out of his house. QUEEN-SQUARE. Mr. Shirley, of Eaton-street, Pimlico, was charged with ob structing the sentry at Buckingham-house. J. Milts, of the Gre nadier Guards, stated, that he was on duty at Buckingham-gate on Monday evening, when seeing the prisoner getting over the palings, he attempted to prevent him, but he endeavoured to force his way, and behaved with great violence till he was taken into cus tody. Serjeant Farquhar, of the same regiment, confirmed this statement. Mr. Shirley, in his defence, said, he entered the Park at the Horse Guirds, in which were several hundred people, and in his way home thought it no harm to get over the paling, when Mills ran up to him, and struck him a violent blow above the eye, which stunned him for a moment. On his recovery, he found the sentinel holding him by the leg, and attempting to throw him into the Park, into which his hat bad already fallen.— He was afterwards dragged through the Almonry, and a number of dirty courts and alleys, to the watch-house; from whence, how ever, he was soon bailed. Mr. WMisa said, the Military had no right to act as constables. There were officers at all times in the Park ready to take cognizance of civil offences, and far their aid the military should apply . It was not to be borne that the military should be suffered to assault his Majesty's subjects; but as the Grand Jury would be assembled In a few days, he should not hold the soldier to bail, as Mr. Shirley might then indict him. This Mr. S. seemed to Wish to decline. The htigistrato,however, pressed the necessity of it ; and on Mr. S. acquiescing, the soldier was discharged. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Catherine Fittgerskl, Isabella Sullivan, and Blicabeth ade, were yesterday brought up for final examination s in the case of Thomas Barnes, whom they were charged with having thrown out of the window in Maynard -street, St. Giles's. They were identified by Charles Reid, the constable, as well as by Turner, a shoemaker, who lived immediately opposite the house where he outrage occurred. No direct evidence being given of Elizabeth Code, who is the landlady of the house, being concerned, she was discharged. The other two prisoners having nothing satisfactory to offer in their de fence,were fully committed, and the partici bouud over to prosecute. MARY-LA-BON iTEOFFICE. Yesterday a woman named Italy Weskit, with a child in her aims, was brought before E. Datum, FAq. charged with a felony In the house of R. Barclay, Esq. the banker, •37,. Devonshire-place, I _ _ _ Mary-la-bonne. lilizabeth Perry, the housekeeper to Mr. Barclay, stated, that on Saturday afternoon bet, between three and four o'clock, she went up stairs into her room, and presently an alarm was given that the house had been robbed, and that the thief was in custody. She re turned down stairs and found the prisoner in the hands of Brant, the beadle, with a shawl in his possession belonging to witness, which he said he had taken from the prisoner, who mast have sneaked down the area steps, and proceeded to her (the housekeeper's) room, and from a closet therein stolen the shawl now produced. Samuel Brant, beadle of Mary-la-bonne, stated that he saw the prisoner in the area of Mr. Barclay's house; he concealed himself behind the weather-board, and watched her manceovres, when pre sently he saw her go into the house, and stn her:es-non be stopped her, and demanded what business she had there: She said she wanted to get her boy into a school, andoiahed for the recommen dation of Mr. Barclay. He took her down the area again and searched her, when be found under her arm a shawl, which she. declared was her own property. He _alarmed ,the house, and the footman coming down, the prisoner said shat she had asked him for his master's recommendation. The footman now denied her assertion, and declared he had never seen the prisoner before in his lie. until he saw her in the.custody of the beadle. The Magistrate said, that to such an extent had this system of plunder prevailed, particulirly in this parish, that it was high time something was 'done to check it. The cgse being clearly proved against her,he said he should Old &r. to take her trial.
