The Bon Accord brought the extraordinary quantity of 700 butts of blubber, sup posed to produce 260 tuns of oil; and although thus deeply laden, had an uncommonly quick passage of twenty-one days from the fishing-ground. Captain Nagy' having run to the southward, along the Labrador coast, in the track laid down in the charts by the Dis covery Ships, getting clear of the ice about the 70th deg. of lat. while other homeward-bound vessels followed the usual course to the northward, rounding the greater barrier of ice about lat. 74 deg. the inlet generally found at the commencement of the fishery. Of this number was the Middleton, CARGILL, of this place, which had sailed a full ship a week bafore the Don Accord; but, from the strong northerly winds which then prevailed, must have been greatly retarded in getting to the northward, so as to render her non-arrival no matter of surprise, much less of alarm.—.

The inhabitants of the town had this day another op portunity of testifying their loyalty, on the arrival of her Royal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA, who, with her suite, landed under a royal salute from the Heights, from his Majesty's steam-packet the Arrow, Capt. HA MILTON, after an excellent passage of three hours only. Her ROYAL HIGHNESS proceeded to Wright's Ship Hotel, where an excellent dinner was provided.

FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT. DOVER, OCTOBER 3. Her Royal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA arrived here this morning, from Calais, shortly after twelve o'clock, in his Majesty's steam-packet Arrow, Captain HAMILTON, under a royal salute.

But that promise you have not fulfilled for Crib never sneer'd at a XlOO customer or told him that he treated his offer with contempt. Re-e _ _ collect the title you hold was but a gift, for which you never fought.! I would advise you to keep this in mind for it will check that va nity with which you are so terribly bloated a vanity without the least foundation. Except it is for beating the Grey Headed Old Stringer or wining the made up fight with Tom Oliver, or is it your being well drubed by the one-armed triple Ned Painter.— Out of compliment to the County we are in I will not mention the Particularstif the great girl fight between you and Jack Carter.— With respect to Neat you rose nothing by that victory ; all you could gain !if that fight was Money.

As Jrshrison, Big Ben, Ryan, Belcher, the Game Chicken, and many others of the fistic heroes, were not suffered to go to their graves without some of their great achievements being put upon public record, so neither will it be right that a man equally as ce lebrated ca any of the above worthies, as a tereltler, should go nut of the world without some public testimonial of his great enter prises; we allude to the late Nlr. Isaac Newtou (a truly great naula) who died at Rempstone ' a village about eight miles south of Not tingham, on th e of September, at the great age of 91. Mr. Newton was a smith by tride, a respectable freeholder, and, in his day, a must athletic man, remarkably powerful in the gripe of his hands ; so much so, that whatever he got hold of was as safely h. Id as if it had been in a vice.' Tsaac threw all his competitors; and frit many years, when be entered a wrestling prize-ring, ail tbe can didates Mr fame withdrew their names ; so that, to make use of a technical horse-racing phrase, he many times " walked over the Course." More than sixty years ago, after having triiped up the herb. of the champions of Lincolnshire, Leieeqershire, dtc. fee. lie was matched against the then reckoned invincible Bob Askew, the pride of the county. of Derby; this great u.al of strength and prowess, on the event of which many hundreds were depending, was decided on a stage erected in the centre of the market-place at Bingham, Notts, on Faster Monday, 1762 : a vast 'concourse of people were present, many of wheat travelled from :0 to 40 miles : the set-to was at four o'clock in the afternoon, and after a aloft fear ful tug of six hours (the List two by torch-light, Newton laid the pride of Derbyshire prostrate, for the lust time, on the bonds. The next morning they again met, bat Askew had beim so dread fully handled the day before, that he was thrown a second tinte like a child, and the Nottinghamshire veteran bore away the laurel, which was never torn from his manly brow. Askew died shortly afterwards, front the effects of toys anate*:. The writer of this paragraph, who well remembers iieehig the conflict, called upon Newton when he was 8.7., and was pleased to !liar him make the of the following expression, in a very serious and bec..ming manner— " Although I have never been thrown un my back by any man, yet I am well aware, that a Chaaipian is coining, who still uy and by trip up my heels:" this prediction was verined en the !...d ult. as above stated. • GREAT FOOT RACE arrwzrst ASEITON AND If A UroNa% On NVednestlay afternoon, this march between these determined opponents was run over Doncaster Course, and was decided in favour of the former. 'file distance was three times round, starting at the Stewards' stand, being miles 1171 yards, for 100 sovereigns, which was run in thirty minutes and fifty seconds.—Considcrable sums hive been lust by the friends of Halton, who hrd freely hacked him ti to 1.--NottVithstandrog the day was rainy, the number to witness this match, which had excited so much interest, was beyond precedent. • FIGIITS ON THE TANS. Among the Amateurs who have not been occupied in bringing down the partridges, or letting fir! at the' long ones,' and compelled to remain in the Metropolis upon other scents, the inquiries for some days past have been extremely numerous respecting anything new on the carpet with the Milling Coves? Mute especially since Tinker has been lost sight of on the Turf, Sherwood placed at No. 2, and Miss Fanny let loow amidst the sporting circles. Yes, is the answer, both at the Castle Tavern and at the I lole-in-the- Wall, that lots of mischief is making, but not the slightest animosity between the parties. " Blow my dickey "says Tom Belcher, 's wennist keep the game alive!" " And these piping times of peace are of no use to me," observes Randall, " if fighting is altogether dripped." In consequence of the above ideas on the subject, the friends of the Black Diamond in the rants (Jens Ward), flatter themselves he is so much polished by his retest experiments on the nobs of the Provincials as to be able to take a hii:4 number among the metropo. titan boxers, and his match with the John liell Fighter (Josh I lud son) is therefore sure to be made on Tuesday next, at Shelton's. Ward, in point of frame, is a second llenry Pearce, so say the 'tad ones; and the chest of the former is also thought to be equal in point of anatomical beauty, and exhibiting immense strength, not to be surpassed by any boxer on the P.L. Ward is likewise a most scientific fighter, active, and on the retreat in the first-rate style. The principal drawback against his capabilities Is said to be, that be is more of a tapping than a heavy punishing hitter; and it is also a question at present, which time call only answer (in order to make his resemblance to the Chicken complete), whether the little but important word of game is to be added to his character? Ward, on account of his youth, is much fancied by a great part of the Betting World at the West End of the Metropolis, who assert, and even back their opinion, that he will win it like chaffing! While, on the contrary, something like grief has escaped the lips of the coveys near the Blunt Magazine ; and the sage of the East has also been caught on the sly wiping his ogles, that the necessity of the case should compel the " Tim) Stars" cf . the East end to he opposed to leach other. " But d'ye mind me," Tons Owen has it, " not as the !Stage Players say at the Theatre from Odd Shakespeare—Osse to a Wart—but Greek to Greek." Josh. and Ward being poiitively in want of a job, and sooner than remain idle, or stand still, are i anxious to take each other by the hand, no opponents from any part of the kingdom offering to enter the lists with them. Something after the stile cf the late Tom Johnson and Big likn. " Tommy;' said the latter, " you and 1 never fell out; and that is the reason why I think we ought to fight." This is exactly tht opinion of the John Bull boxer, who delights in fighting, but detests quarrelling; laughing heartily at the incidents of a old!, and weeding over ima ginary distress at the spell. Great sums of money are already batted upon the battle between Hudson and Ward. The former is thought too fleshy; but his lion-hearted courage, among his staunch ad. miters, overbalances all other defects ; and numbers take Jdsh. for choice, whilst others are so fond of him, as to bet the odds. The day is fited for the 11th of November, and excites considerable in terest throughout the milling circles. That prime little Brum, but no counterfeit, is expected in town ao be matched with Dick Hares for fifty pounds a-side, to fight also on the I Ith of November.— Gypsey Cooper and Bishop Sharp, if the latter likes it, will have a third battle, within five weeks.—The pet of the Fancy (Dick Curtis), it is feared, will not be able to enter the P. IL any mote, in consequence of a severe contusion lie has received on his left knee. A Yokel at Birmingham, who faihd in getting the best of Curtis by blows, kicked him !—Pat Cavannah, whose gameness in his late contest with Stockman, and whose life was some time doubt ful, wishes to inform the S. W. that he is neither dedd nor kilt ; and will soon have another shy with his old opponent or somebody else. It is likely that O'Neal and Aby Belasco will be matched, the Jews being determined to back Aby once more. Sevetal moves, it is said, will take place on the hoard during the wurrra, that the M. C.'s may keep themselves warns till Spring again takes the lead. In the absence of better sport, the Leas of all sorts of colours hake got a turn, and foot-racing has again become quite the go ! The only secret is to measure the thing properly. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, OCTOBER 3.
