TM thatch between Gregory, the **per, sad George Mut, which was to have taken place on Thursday, at Westwood, Suf folk, for SO guineas, came off in a meadow ten miles from the appointed spat; on the estate of Mr. Banchard, of Exford, from the apprebenidon of being disturbed at Westwood. Mr. B. backcu the Cooper, and a neat ring of 24 feet was roped in for the boxers to operate in. The brother of Gregory picked him up; a..ci . Granger seconded Gillen, who gave away six pounds in weight from twelve stone. A bard battle of ten rounds in forty minutes was fought. Roma 1; Pint blood was produced from Gillan's mouth in a rally, which ended by the Cooper being grassed by a heavy hit on tie breast bone. u. A radioing round, which sprinkled the ring with claret ; it wes wril wasintained, and if the blows were not delivered sci entifically, they told heavily. The round lasted seven minutes, and both went down piping abed and open mouthed. 5. After a short rally, Gillen was thrown a heavy sumrnerset. 4. A gay round in favour ut Milan, who used his left hand efepti►ey, and proved himself the best fighter, but strength put knowledge on the of side, and he was thrown a cross-buttock. Is thesth, 6th, and 7th rounds, the combatants were feeble for Vast of wind; but in the Ith, they turned to again, and hit each other to a stand still. Gilhu was hit down by a blow on the left jaw. 9. Gillen came very weak to the scrota, and he was thrown without a blew being delivered. Both their heads exhibited strong marks of violence. 10. This was a very aunty round, both were hit to a stand but -strength served the Cooper again, and he threw his -adversary a heavy fall on the side of his head, and he could not •easse to thus. Gregory was consequently declared the winner. Of die two, the Winner was worst beat ; but, like Gas, he would not be denied, although out-fought. He was always with bla adversary, and strength, with game, brought him through. WELFORD HUNT RACES, SUFFOLK. WEDNESDAY, AMIE IE. A Cup, value 60V. for Hunters, by subscription of lOga. each, 7 ft.

The Hampshire Hunt Races took place last Thursday, on Worthy Down, near this city; and, notwithstanding the unfa vourable state of the weather, the Course was numerously at tended. The Cup, value 120. guineas, two-mile heats, 12st. each, was won by Mr. W. T. Giteiux's b. g. Repeater, six years old, beating Mr. ;Iloaarr's ch. m. by Ruben.; Mr. FLEssixo's ch. e. by Haphaz.n ; and Lord RODNEY'S b. g. by Derwent. Even betting between Repeater and the mare; after the first heat, high odds on Repeater, who won with great ease. This race excited the tivelitit interest, and many bets were pending. Repeater was trained by Mr. DILLY, of Littleton (Clerk of the Races), and his condition was considered very superi a r. He was rode by Samuel Day in his usual style of excellence. After which the Sweepstakes of five guineas each, 14st. one two-mile heat, were won by Mr. Nus as's br. g. Blemish, beating six others, as follow : Mr. Nunes's Blemish, rode by Capt.

Shakespear - 7 A capital race between Blemish and Billy, and only won by a neck; it was afterwards, however, found that Billy had run on the wrong side of the post. TII.QTTItie MATCHES. A Itati . .h for a good stake took place on Wednesday, from Newington-gate to that at the top of the hill at Sutton. The distance is ten miles, and the Race excited muchinterest amongst the parties. It was the Covent-gardm trotting mare against the water-side gelding, each rode by the owners. The mare took the lead, but the horse soon passed her, and kept nearly 100 yards ahead, until at Mitcham, when they were together again, but the mare broke into a gallop, and had to turn on the spot. The ground here lost, at about half the distance, was never re covered, and the owner of the mare pulled up at the bottom of the bill, when the horse was at the top, winning by about 250 yards. The ten miles were performed in forty minutes. Another Match was run on the same day on the Brighton Road, for 100 guineas. Mr. Mancstairres having backed his mare to trot sixteen — miles in an hoUr. The mare broke into a gallop in the first mile, but ahe did It within four minutes after turning. Half the distance was performed in twenty-nine mi nutes, and the mare kept on at a winning rate, doing her miles considerably within four minutes. She was rather fatigued in the last mile, but the match was won with twenty seconds to spare. • STEEPLE RACE. Thursday se'nnight, a Steeple Race, for 100 guineas, between a mart belonging to T. GRANT, Esq. rode by Mr. T. Curransow, sad a mare of Mr. STICPHINSON'II, rode by Mr. CARTWRIGHT, was run from Sturton Church, near Iloincastle, to Wickenby Church, a distance of ten miles, over a very heavy country. with upwards of 120 leap:. After a well-contested race, which was run in 45 minutes, Mr. SIEFFIENSOM'S mare won by about half a minute. PEDESTRIANISM. Two Sporting Gentlemen, desirous of making the circuit of London on foot, set out on Monday morning from the Castle Tavern, Moorfields, at ten o'clock, first directing .their course to Newington-green, and so on to Hackney, I3ethnal•green, and 'Poplar ' to Bow, bait to Limehouse, ove r the water to Green land Dock, to St. Helena House, New Cross, Peckham Cam berwell, Stockwell, Clapham, and Battersea, over to Chelsea, Jlrompton, and Knightsbridge, through Hyde Park to Cumber land-gate, the Edgware-road to Paddington, along the towing path of the Regent's Cowl to Islington, and down the City-road to bloorfields again, where they first set out from, and where they arrived exactly at seven o'clock in the evening, including two hours refreshment on the road. ANNUAL SHEWS OF AURICULA. Tuesday last, at the Elephant and Castle, Newington, the erst Prize was awarded to Mr. Moore for Oldenburgb and Cockup's Eclipse ; the 2d to Mr. Bray, for Lancashire Hero and Privateer ; 3d, to Mr. Goss, for Oldenburgh and Privateer; 4th, to Mr. Goss, jun. for Oldenburgh and Privateer; sth, to Mr. Cheese, for Ringleader and Privateer ; 6th, to Mr. Neville, for Cockup's Eclipse and Privateer.

The Apt ha' fIOVICT3 were the property of Mr. Burch, , _ ` 4 s‘' --- " - z - -", _ .- _ _ - -- • - - - ~ .- - ; • "4 1 r 4 ' _ OLD DOLBY- Yesterday William White, James Ford, and ,brinesl Wells, were indicted for stealing . 6001bs. weight of! raw silk, value £6OO and upwards, the property of Messrs. Doxat. Five witnesses were then called by the prisoners' Counsel, who positively swore, in the most unequivo cal manner, that the prisoner Ford was at the public house of Mrs. Thomas, Worcester-street, Birmingham: on Saturday, the 14th of September, the night of •the robbery, and on the Sunday following. The witnesses were severally cross-examined; but their evidence was not shaken. They all joined in giving Ford a most excellent character. Two other witnesses were also called to the character of White. The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty against White, and acquitted Ford and Wells. The COMMON SERJEANT immediately sentenced White to seviin years' transportation. William Pentberton was indicted for violating the person of Sarah, the wife of F. Harlow. The prosecutrix swore that her husband was a watchman, in Crawford• street, and on the evening of the 23d ultimo, she left home, about seven o'clock, to take her husband's supper. She met the prisoner, and he persuaded her to go to a public-house, and take something to drink. They left that house, and as they were walking along, he forced her into a se cond public-house, but she refused to take anything. She then went up Oxford-street, the prisoner still fol lowing her, and when they got near Hyde-park, he forced her into the Park, and there perpetrated the crime with great brutality. She resisted, and screamed loudly, until several persons came to her assistance, and the prisoner was secured. Cross-examined.—The prisoner was a stranger to her before the night in question. She left her house at seven, and it was ten o'clock when the scene in the Park took place. She did not pick the prisoner's pocket of a crown-piece. Captain J. V. George deposed, that on the evening in question he was walking near Cumberland-gate, when he heard a violent screaming; he proceeded to a retired part of the Park, where he found the prose cutor lying on the ground, and the prisoner kneeling over her, with one hand upon her person. The dress of each was disordered. The woman exclaimed, upon seeing witness, The villain has me, and robbed me of a I:1 note!" The prisoner denied it, and declared that she had picked his pocket of a crown-piece; and that her screams arose from his attempting to search her to get it back. The prisoner was taken to the watch-house, where the prosecutrix went into violent hysterics, and continued so for a long time. She and the prisoner were searched, but no money was found upon either of them. Mr. Coffin, a Dissenting Clergyman, swore that he also heard the screams, and saw what was described by the last witness. He heard the prisoner say that the prosecutrix had been drinking with him in several public-houses ; that she consented to intrigue with him, and while they were intriguing, she robbed him of a crown-piece. Cross-examincd.—The .prosecutrix swore, at the first examination, that she only went into one public house with the prisoner. The latter, however, told witness the signs of several houses into which he de clared she had gone with him; and at the next exa- 1 mination witness brought the landlords to the Office, and she then admitted going to the houses; but de- '1 clared she was forced to go! Here Mr. Justice PARK observed to the Jury, that there was too much doubt in this case for him to per mit it to go any farther. Nothing could be more gross than the conduct of the prosecutrix previous to the alleged offence; and it would be too much to place the life of a man in jeopardy upon the testi mony of such a woman. Verdict—Not Guilty. The piosecutrix was hissed out of Court, and there was such a strong indication of feeling outside, that it was judged prudent to take her into Newgate, and let her out by stealth. KENNINGTON COMNlON.—According to custom im memorial, all the loose, idle, and disorderly vaga bonds that infest the Borough, Westminster, and other parts of the Metropolis, began to assemble on Ken nington Common at an early hour yesterday, for the disgraceful purpose of devoting that sacred day to drinking, fighting, jack-ass racing, boxing, single stick, dog-fighting, gambling, foot ball, and picking of pockets. The Surrey Magistrates, to prevent a recurrence of the scandalous and audacious insults and robberies committed on passengers and others on last Good Friday, caused large posting-bills to be stuck up all round the neighbourhood, to give notice that no such disgraceful and unlawful assemblage would be permitted on that day. All the Police, and up wards of 200 Constables, arrived there at ..n early hour, seized upon several jack-asses and gaming tables, and dispersed the rabble. The main of cocks fought at Dundee, between the Gentlemen of Fife and Forfar-shires, was decided on the 6th inst. in favour of Forfarshire ; but the bye battles were gained by Fife. SINGULAR CIIARAGTER.--.-The Bristol Observer says, « There is something amusing in the peculiari ties of men's minds. I was in company for a few minutes to-day (March 21) with a rich young far mer, of St. Kevern, who appeared to be a man of few words. Observing this to a friend, who is a neighbour of his, he replied, it was somewhat sur prising that I heard the young man speak at all ; for that he carefully avoids speaking to any but a confidential man servant. Though a principal inha bitant of the parish, his property being estimated at 00,000, he can never be induced to attend any Meetings for parish business. His way is, to com municate his mind to his man, and leave to him the completion of eveiry business. With this man he works hard, takes his meals, and sleeps, employing one female servant to do the drudgery of the house. His only recreation is wrestling with his man some- 1 times, at the close of the day's work. When persons have called at the house, and his man was not in the way, he has made his escape through some back door, or window, into the fields, because he would not speak to them. It is not known whether timidity or policy is the motive of this singular conduct, in a young maa who is not much more than 20. He is l unmarried ; and it is considered likely he will con tinue so ; but should any Lady succeed in persuading him to anatverftor himself al the A(Mr, there is little doubt of his being a flat hifsbipd.. ASSJ2E& WARWICK, APRIL 12. The trial of Quincy, Adams, Sydney, and Heylrey, for the murder of Mr. William Heron, came on this morning. Mr. CLARKS, sen. in detailing the case, said, Mr. William Hiron, the deceised, was a Gentleman who possessed some property in this County. His usual residence was in London ; but he sometimes came down to Alveston, to spend a few weeks with his mother, who lived at -that place. In November last, it must be well remembered, there was a County Election at Warwick ; and on Saturday, the 4th of that month, which was market-day, Mr. Hiron came to Warwick, to give his vote for Mr. Lawley, one of the candidates at that Election. He was returning home about eight o'clock in the evening, and in his road home he had to pass along Little Ham Bridge, which was about six miles and a half from this place. Mr. Hiron did not arrive at home that night. The next morning, Mr. Hiron's keys, his stick, and some other things, were found near this Bridge. There was also a quantity of blood upon the ground where the keys lay. About eight o'clock in the morning, allow half a mile from this spot, Mr. Hiron was found lying in a ditch. He was nearly in an insensible state, but he was not quite so. He was all over blood, and appeared to be in a dying state. He was carried home, and everything that medical skill could effect was done for him ; but he died on the following Tuesday. Mr. Hiron, when he was found, was asked how he came to be in that state? The only answer he could make was, " Three villains." By the con fession of all the prisoners, when he got to Little Ham Bridge, Mr. Hiron was pulled off his horse by a hook; that on falling to the ground he jumped upon his feet, and then he was attacked and beat in a brutal manner. It does not appear that they intended to rob Mr. Hiron but a person of the name of Parker, who is the Bailiff of Mrs. Bradley, of Alveston. The pri soners all went out for the same purpose ; they were all dressed alike, and all had their faces blacked. Witnesses were then examined, who gave the hor- rible details of the case. Elizabeth Spier said, on •coming along the road from Stratford to Welles bourne, Little Ham Bridge is on the side nearest to Wellesbourne. As I came from'Mr. Lucas's, about forty yards out of theroad leading from Wellesbourne to Stratford, I found some person lying ia the ditch. He lay flat on his back, cut and mangled in a bad man ner. I said, " LORD have mercy on me! how came you here in this state?" He did not speak. His head appeared to be beaten all to pieces, as if a person had taken a mallet and beaten it. The prisoners all confessed the deed, though they pretended, in their defence, that they were drunk, and did not know what they did. Ashfield, the constable, states, that he heard them talk about it; and after doing so, Adams turned to the witness and said, " If it had not been for that d—d rogue (meaning Sidney) it would never have been done ; he was always baiting us to it, and told me he had done many good things. It was he that killed him ; he hit him twice, as soon as I pulled him off his horse; and after we left him he turned back and hit him twice again; and when he came up to us we asked him if he had hit his boot, it rattled so? and he said, No, d—n him, I thought I hit his head.'" Quiney then said, "As he was rising up to wards Sidney, who had struck him twice, I struck at him, and I do not think I hit him on the head; I think I struck him on the shoulder; and then that d—d villain (meaning Sidney) hit him twice-after wards." Quiney was crying whilst he said this. The prisoners were all found. Guilty; and the JUDGE, in passing sentence, told them there was no lope of mercy in this world : the grave was yawning to receive them, and in a few hours they would be called to their awful account. He then passed the awful sentence of the law. Adams then stepped forward, and, with his hands clasped together, prayed for mercy, for the sake of his poor children, who had been deprived of their mother since his apprehension.—They were executed a quartet before twelve o'clock on Saturday last. SLAVE TRADE.—We subjoin a short extract from the Correspondence just published in the Parliamen tary Papers on the Slave Trade. It exhibits one of the most disgusting pictures of human brutality that ever came under our observation. The case is that of a boat, of eleven tons, the property of a Portuguese Governor, having packed on board it, for a voyage across the Atlantic, no less than seventy-one human beings! The condition of these unhappy creatures is thus described in the words of a British Officer, who states facts appalling to every feeling heart : IXTILACT IMOSI A - 112CLAZATION Of /.. Y. Xllll4 - Y, MK. HIS 31.1.113Tr's SLOOP PIIILASAIIT. " I do declare, that the state in which these unfortunate crea tures were found, is shocking to every principle of humanity ; seventeen men shackled together in pairs by the legs, and twenty boys, were on the ashes in the main hold, a space measuring 18 feet in length, seven feet eight inches main breadth, and one foot eight inches in height, and under them the yams for their sup port. One of these unfortunate creatures was in the last stage of dysentery. On their being released from-irons, their appear ance was most distressing, scarcely any of them could stand on their legs from cramp and evident starvation. The space allowed for the females, thirty-four in number, was even more con tracted than for the men, measuring only nine feet four inches In length, four feet eight inches main breadth, and two feet seven inches in height." A scientific Gentleman of Brighton has furnished the following curious and interesting remarks on the shortness of human life :—Of 1000 persons 23 die in the birth ; 280 from teething, convulsions, and worms; 25 from small pox ; 7 in the measles ; 160 of fevers ; 14 of apoplexy and lethargy ; and 41 of dropsy ; omitting other diseases not so well ascertained ; so that only 78 of 1000 attain what may be deemed old age. Or it may be taken in another point of view : OT 1000 persons 260 die within the first year ; 80 in the second ; 40 in the third ; 24 in the fourth ; and within the first eight years of life 446, or almost one half of the number are cut off by premature death. Sickly years are from one in four to one in six or seven to the healthy. December, January, and April, are, from observations, found to be the most sickly months, and June the most healthy, in the year.— Jannary is to June as 11 to 1. ' Yesterday, an Inquest was held at St. Thomas's Hospital, on the body of T. Davies, ten years old, the son of a tradesman in the Broadway, St. Tho- Las's, who, in getting out of bed, laid hold of the curtain, which gave way, and he fell against the end of the rod, which entered his head just under the lef. . eye, and CAILIO4 his death. Verdict ) Accidcntal Dcath. e 11, PA LIAMENTARY ormnse RETORT OE TR! COMMISSIONERS APPOINT= ST Rasta r d TO CONSIDI/1 THE StILIECT OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES, MAT IT PLEASE TOUR MAJESTY, We, the Commissioners appointed by your M a . jesty for the purpose of considering the subject o f Weights and Measures, have now completed the ex amination of the standards which we have thought it necessary to compare. The measurements winch we have lately performed upon the apparatus em ployed by the late Sir George Shuckburgh E ve l yn, have enabled us to determine with sufficient preci. sion the weight of a given bulk of water, with a view to the fixing the magnitude of the standard-of weight ; that of length being already determined by the experiments related in our former Reports; :o u t we have found by the computations, which will his detailed in the Appendix, that the weight of a cubit inch of distilled water, at 62 deg. of Fahrenheit, is 252.72 grains of the Parliamentary standard pound of 1758, supposing it to be weighed in a vacuum. We beg leave, thetefore, finally to recommend ; with all humility, to your kajesty, the adoption of the regulations and modifications suggested iu oar former Reports, which are principally these: 1. That the Parliamentary standard yard, made by Bird in 1760, be henceforward considered as the authentic legal stand. and of the British Empire ; and that it be identified by deck ! , ing that 39.17.9.1 inches of this standard, at the temperature.; 62 of Fahrenheit, have been found equal to the length el a pen. dulum supposed to vibrate seconds in London, on the level of the sea, and in a vacuum. C. 'That the Parliamentary standard Troy pound, amen to the two pound weight made in 175 K, remain unaltered; acd that 7000 Troy grains be declared to constitute an Avoira upu j s pound ; the cubic inch of distilled water being found to weigh at 62 deg. in a vacuu:n, '252.72 Parliamentary grains. 3. That the ale and corn gallon be restored to their engin; equality, by taking, for the statutable common g..P.on of the British Empire, a mean value, such that a g.alou of comrn water may welgh 10 pounds Avoirdupois in ordinary circum stances, its content being nearly 277.5 cubic inches; and that correct standards of this impel ial gallon, and of the bushel, peck, ,quart, and pint, derived from it, and of their parts, be procured without delay for the Exchequer, and for such other Aces is your Alajesty s dominions as n:ay be ju Iged mest conveatent for the ready use of your 3l..je,ty's subjects. 4. Whether any further legislative enactments are required„ foe enforcing a uniformity of practice throughout the Empire, we do not feel ourselves competent to determine: but it appears to us that nothing would b.: more conducive to the attainment of this end, than to increase, as far as possible, the facility of a ready recurrence to the legal standards, which re apprehend to be in a great measure attainable by the meats that we have recommended. It would also, in all probability, he of advantage to give a greater degree of publicity to the Appendix of our last Report, containing a comparison of the custmary measures employed throughout the country. 5. We are not aware that any further services remain for is eo perform, in the execution of the commands laid upon us by your Majesty's Commission : but if any superintendence of the regulations to be adopted were thought necessary. should still be ttady to undertake such inspections and exatninations as might be required for the complete attainment of the objecu is question.

Thy house, and (in the cup of life, That honey-drop) thy pleasing wife. SOCRATES, by his discourse on Marriage, so es raptured his auditors with the subject, that the married men flew to theirwives ' and the bachelors hastened to be weeded; and " The Spectator" has affirmed, that the word " wife" is the most agreeable and delightful name in nature. The sacred institution, then, of marriage, compasses the de sideratum of our enjoyment; teeming not only with Dapple's cia earth, but disposing the soul itself to harmonize with bin hereafter. Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligadello It becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the palsies, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities whick the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upoe i To the neglect of such attention are attributable many of those hapless instances, which, while they excite the conuniseratis of the beholder, should also impress him with the fear of edf. reproach. Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the ago nized sufferer more than doubts the ch ance of relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves, offering hope--energy--elo cular strength—felicity ; nor will our advances appear qucstie able, sanctioned as -they are by the multiplied proofs of twig years successful experience. The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nava wreath—for the female habit is often constitutionally wesh-- yet it can be strengthened, and deficient energy improved iio functional power. In every case of syphilitic intrusion. as well as in every* laxatlon of the generative economy, we pledge our ability 0 cure speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expelt o unfeeling empyric from the position so presumptuously tali up, we'deviate from general principles with less hesitation; ad confident in our own honourable integrity as Members of it College of Surgeons, we refer the suffering community dodo sex (especially those entering into matrimonial life) at owe • our !souse, where daily attendance is given for personal coo natation; and letters from the country are immediatelyr swered ; these must contain a remittance for Advice and 0 06 ' tine, which can be forwarded to anpart of the world. b.' ever distant.
