SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. • MOVEMENTS IN THE MILLING CIRCLES. T1 , 113/111. Ain Meartm—The Metter of the Hells stands so high in the "Pinion of the milt, that he was matched last night, at the Castle Tavern, Holborn, with Ned Turner, for 100 guineas a-side. This maul contest, it is thought, will excite considerable Ipterest in the sporting world, as Martin, it is well known, is considerably improved as a scientific pugilist. Three months trainiug t is afiowed to Turner, who is " so much to pieces." that he will reqqfie the invigorating air of the Welch mountains the above time, at least, to gea all the iffy out of him. Turner is not only confident about winning, but his backers are equally as sanguine. The match 13 made,for Tuesday, the r,th of June, aatd six to four the odds commenced with. THE GAT-LICRT 3fATI AND COOPER.--Thill match is all " the talk" amongst the amateurs,. and lots of blind have been sported upon it in England, Ireland, and Scotland. Hickman asserts he can wen it in a canter j but Cooper thinks he cannot win it at all. The Gas-light max is decidedly the favourite, and two to one, and seven to four, have been betted in numerous instances. Both of the men are confident in the highest degree. This match i 3 • fixed for the iith of April. The nem black, that made Smith the waterman not only dance a hornpipe without music, but absolutely run out of the ring at the rate of twelve miles an hour, at Banstead Downs, on Satur day last, now stands so high in the opinion of the midis, that they Intend Bkicley shall have another turn, without delay, against a well-known "good one." The whisper is, that he will prove a second Molineauk; but Seeto-boll says, Stop a bit, me must creep before me can go." At all events, let him be pitted against any one, he will prove a rare troublesome customer. Johnson is in good hands at present. Richmond chap that the Ring is at ail times strong enough in hand to keep a black servant, if they will not have a black master ! No, no, no ! all the millers sal, the Champion must be all over white! Conatrzstes-r or A Boxsa TOIL . INIOLENCE TO iIiZUNEELTISE following occurrence took place a few• days since in the Court of Common Pleas, Dublin :--In a case of an assault which occur red at the late contested Election,' a prize-fighter named Dunn, who was beaten by Reynolds, the Champion If the light might', at the Crime last year, was examined for the defence. At the conunencement of his cross-examination, he was asked by Mr. Wittacs, if be had been lately at the Curagh? Witness," Yes, Mr. Wallace, and *hewed more Dante there than you did in Suckrille-strret."— After a pause, Mr. O'CoxNzi.r., who was en gaged on the same side with I%lr. Wixiascs, rose, and besought the Court to protect Counsel from the insolence of witnesses, to vindicate its own dignity, and preserve decorum. Lord NOR SUIT having auimaaverted in the severest terms upon the inso lent audacity of the witness, ordered him to be forthwith com mitted. The Sheriff accordingly attended, and conveyed Dunn . to Newgate. Lord NORBURY also expressed a hope, that Mr. WALLACE had not forgone the idea of prosecuting the individual who bad committed so violent an outrage upon his person in Sackville.strert, and recommended him strongly to follow it Up. " My Lord," said Mr. WALLACE, " I hope your Lordship has not given that advice from a suppoiition of its necessity. Never, my Lord, will I abandon it, until the cause of justice is fully avenged. I thank your Lordship for the advice, but I beg leave to assure your Lordship, that it is perfectly consonant to my own feelings and my stedfastly fixed determination." HUNTING.

He made for East throp, in Wilts, where, being headed, he took back through Cultshill, and tried the earths at Hastings Wood; being again foiled, he crossed the Canal and made for Farringdon Woods crossed the inclosures for Buckland, and was viewed dead beat into Fuse) , Furze, where he was killed in full view, after a run of one hour and 23 minutes, without a check. Of a inost nu merous held, Mr. Coaserr, of Sandern, on his celebrated grey horse Highflyer, was the only person in at the death, 'having dashed through the Canal, which proved an insuperable impedi ment to the less venturous riders. The fencing was the sttfiest ever known by the n• Ist veteran sportsmen. • Thursday the 22d ult. a chesnut horse, by Old Sank; stand ing 14 hands and a half, the property of Mr. N.

On the 14th ultimo, the sante horse, with the same weight, cleared nine yards (measured on the ground) over a gate nearly the same height. COURSING. A Coursing Match, which has been some time past in con templation, and which excited much interest, particularly that of a local nature, was decided on the 28th ult. on the Downs, six miles east of Arundel, it being stipulated to be run on the Sussex bills. Much money was depending on the event. Mr. S. Ho cens's (of Dayling island) dog Shandy was the favourite at little otitis against Mr. Ilewtias's dog Nimrod, bred in the Isle of Wight. The hare was stout, the dogs staunch, and the course severe. Victory declared in favour ut Shandy.

ELOPEMENT IN lIIGII LIFE.—AII Officer of Dra goons, of very high connections, who has served in most of the Peninsular Campaigns, was quartered in Devonshire with a portion of his regiment, to which place he removed his Lady and domestic establish ment. A short time ago, a Lieutenant of the Surrey Militia, who was there on regimental affairs, was in troduced to the residence of the gallant Officer, and so insinuated himself into the good graces of the Lady as to induce her to elope with him. The husband communicated the circumstance to the friends of the Lady, who endeavoured to adopt means to rescue her from her state of degradation, and requested his as sistance in furtherance of their object. The request was at first indignantly spurned at, but he was at length prevailed upon, and an application being made to a Magistrate at Bow-street, au Officer was desired to render his assistance. Atter a strict inquiry, they succeeded in tracing the delinquents to an inn at Kingston, where they again lest all trace of them.— The Officers, however, dispatched a messenger to Hampton Court, who learnt that the offending pair had been lodging at an-inn there for some days, but were then gone out. While the pursuers were con sulting as to the best mode of action, the gallant was seen walking tip the street at Hampton, so/us. The party immediately sallied forth, and a rencontre of no very amicable nature took place, it being with the utmost difficulty that the much-injured husband— who was well armed—could be restrained from at tacking the offender upon the spot. Being asked to produce the Lady, he hesitatedmuth ; but w hil e t h e y were talking, the fair one issued.from a shop, in the view of the whole party. She was for a moment • thunderstruck, but soon recovered her self-possestion, and with great coolness walked up to her paramour, and took' his arm. The rageof the husband at t hi s additional insult, may .be.sceacsised. His friends were , compelled to hold him bpsnain force: The Lady was finally taken.fflont tiq' T patatdoit, and conveyed td her father's house; • • '' • • ►\ ~. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ~ 1.. • ,~.: COURT OF ILINGI.IMINCH, MARCH 6. - IMPORTANT TO COACH-MASTERS. •WRIOUT AND CO. l O. YAM. • .• • • The plaintiffs are Bankers, residing at Christchatch, and had employed the firm of Rogers, Olding, and Boycott, as their Agents in London, to pay off their Notes, and to remit them to Christchurch, to be there re-issued. The defendant is one of the Proprietors of the Poole mail coach, and of the Southampton night coach. On the first day of December, 1819, a par cel of Notes was sent by the House of Rogers and Co. to the defendant's coach-office, and there booked. The parcel contained £1,300 of :he plaintiffs' Notes, and was directed to Mr. Angier, who was Clerk in the Bank of the plaintiffs, at Christchurch. The parcel never reached its destination, and this action was brought to recover the amount. _ _ Mr. William Boycott proved, that on the follow ing day, a lot of £360 was presented to the witness for payment, and another lot of Cl® in the afternoon of the same day, which he also paid: but it being unusual to have so large a sum presented for pay ment on the same day, witness's suspicions were •,T- 4 cited, and, on examination, he found that the other clerks had paid £390 more. The whole amounted to £lO5O, and were some of the very notes sent off the preceding day to the defendant's office. On ex amining the defendant's books and way-bill it was found the parcel had been sent .by the Southampton night-coach, not by the mail, as the defendant had undertaken, and it was matked •4 missing" in. the way-bill. The porter proved that he delivered the parcel at defendant's office, paid two-pence for booking it, and received a memorandum. He neither insured the parcel, nor informed the defendant of its contents. • Other witnesses were called ; but the case for the plaintiffrested chiefly on the defendant's undertaking to send the parcel by the Mail. The defence consisted of two points; first, it was contended that the notice in the defendant's office should have protected him from any loss of greater valne than five pounds; and, secondly, that the plain tiffs' agents had not acted fairly in not making known to the defendant the contents of the parcel, and in swing it accordingly. Witnesses were called to prove that the usual no tice posted up at the Coach-offices, which was pro duced in Court, had been known to Rogers and Go. It was also proved that the parcel was sent by the Southampton night-coach, but was stolen on the way. The CIIIEF JUSTICZ ebseried, that if the Mail which left London, and by which the defendant had undertaken to forward the parcel, had proceeded for ward to Christchurch, before it were changed, he should not hesitate in that case in directing a verdict for the plaintiffs; but that being changed in South ampton, the question for their consideration was, first, whether the risk was greater by the one than by the other ? If they thought the risk greater by the Southampton coach than by the Poole mail, they would find for the plaintiffs ; but if they were of a contrary opinion, they would find for the defendant.' But again, they were to consider also the quantity of damages they would give in case they should find for the plaintiffs. 'The unusual sum of £360, and a sum of L:100, being presented for payment to one person in the house of Rogers and Co. ou one day, ought to excite their surprise, since £5O was the general ave rage of notes presented for payment on any one day. Had' they been more active, that circumstance might probably have led to a discovery of the fraud, and of the persons concerned in it. He would only add, that of the £l3OO, only £lO5O were claimed. Of the remaining £250, nothing had been known, and pro bably they never would be claimed.—Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, £lo6o—Costs, 40s. Monday sennight was committed to Northampton county jail, Mary Clarke, widow of the late John Clarke, of Charweton, charged with having been ac cessory before the fact to the murder of her late hus-' band, John Clarke afore,aid, by Philip 'Jaynes, now confined in the above jail for the cortimis.ion of the said murder, .as stated last week. The deceased, it will be recollected, was shot while cutting hay from a rick near his dwelling, Charwell-house. It appeared to the Coroner's Inquest, that he must have been filed at from under the tiles in his own barn, and on exa mination, in a hole in a barley-stack, were found a ladder, a gun in a new case, and a large bag, con taining bread, cheese, and bacon, a bottle, &c. Per sons were set to watch all night, and on Monday morning (after the commission of he . murder on SA.. turday afternoon), the barley-stack was removed, at the bottom of which they discovered Philip Haynes, who was taken into custody. He declared he knew nothing of the transaction, until his irons were put ting on, when he said he should not have done it, had he not been over-persuaded! DREADFUL EFFECTS OF FR!GHT. —A short time since, a young woman of Exeter, named Whicker, who was in the habit of going out to day-work at her needle, was passing through a field, which the servants of the house she had left had represented as haunted, and the fears of the credulous girl being thus awakened, a black boy, having wrapped him self in a sheet, concealing all but his facie and hands, met her in the path. The shock was too strong for her reason—she became raving mad; and, about a fortnight since, was conveyed to the Asylum, near Exeter, deprived of all those noble powers of .intel lect which dignify human nature above the brute creation; and though the dreary void of her mind is occasionally irradiated by lucid intervals, she soon relapses into insanity, from which, it is feared, she will never perfectly recover! Tux NA ssucK DzastoNo.—An extraordinary large diamond, belonging to the Honourable East-India Company, has recently been received from India. It , is denominated the Nassuck dfamond, and was taken, with the baggage, from the Peishwa of the Mahrat tas. It weighs 3.58 grains, or 89i carats; its shape is triangular. Mr. MAWE, who visited.the Diamond District of Brazil, has, through the favour Of the Chairman, modelled it.- He thinks the 'form, when rough, was an irregular octohedron, and has been cut into its present shape to preserve the size and weight. It is of the finest water, and the largest diamond that has appeared in Europe, except the Pitt diamond, and one in the possession of the Emperor oflivosiA. . - pitiatimaLE ingt• INnaitsr*ci cii4E;l His MAJESTY'S free pardon was received on Mon.' day evening for Frederick under sentence of death in Newgati. The case of this youth, only about 17 years of age, is peculiarly intereeting. He was convicted on the Bth of December, of a street robbery, during the time of a fire, near Wardocr-street, and ordered for execu tion, with five others, on the 31st of .lanttayy. Mr. Sheriff WaITIIMAN, who inquired into the particulars 'of the case of each of these unhappy persons, was struck with the circumstances of the case of this poor I lad, who seemed less concerned for his own life than for the distress his fate would occasion to his relatives; and from the artless and ingenuous manner he an swered his enquiries, the worthy Sheriff was led to believe that he-was innocent of the crime. On the Monday previous to the day appointed for the execution, Sheriff WAITIIMAN made a represen tation to Lot d Sit:mount, who gave the circumstance a most attentive and humane consideration, and a respite was - sent about five o'clock that afternoon. From that time Sheriff W AITIIMA N has been .unre- -mining in his enquiries into every circumstance of the case, as well as into the previous conduct of the prisoner, who, it appears, bad but recently come to town, and resided with his parents in the neighbour hood of Waidour-street; and unfortunately went to see the fire. While mixing in the crowd, a rush was Made by a gang of ten or twelve pickpocket'; and the prosecutor, who had his seals and chain snatched away, laid hold of White, charged him with the rob bery, and,called to two of his companions, who were at some distance, and did not see the robbery, and they came up and assisted in conveying White to the• watch-house. No property was found upon him, nor was he in a situation to convey it to others had he really.been the thief; for the prosecutor swore upon the trial that the prisoner kept pulling and screwing at his chain, in order to get his watch from his fob, while he had hold of him, but it was almost impos sible that a slight lad, in custody, and offering no re sistance, would so act. _ _ When Vie charge was given at the watch-house, a young man, stranger to the prisoner, stated that he stood near the spot at the time ; that the prosecutor appeared greatly confused and much intoxicated, and remained two minutes . after the robbery before he laid hold of anybody, and that he did not think it possible for him to identify the person who robbed him. The young man was, however, treated as an accomplice, and told that they'should have him to morrow; he then gave his card of address, and the prisoner requested him to appear for him in the morning, and he accordingly attended at the Police Office, where his testimony was again discredited, '-and White was fully committed. Although he was well connected, fearful of expos ing himself and ltu friends, he concealed his dreadful situation from them till it was too late; the conse quence was, that he had no Counsel at his trial; the friendly stranger again attended on his behalf, and repeated the evidence he had previously given, but being contradicted, as to the prosecutor's.intoxication, by the prosecutor himself, and his two companions, he was, of course, di'heliered, and, from the fact of his thus coming forward, suspected .to have been an accomplice. After the conviction, .the prisoner's mother .got some friend to draw up a Petition for mercy, "and which, under the delusion, which is very common, that a denial of guilt would render the Petition nu gatory, and would be considered . flying in the face of the Court and Jury, contained his acknowledgment of the justice of his sentence. White, who had uni formly declared his innocence, positively refused to sign this Petition, avowing that he would sooner die than admit this filsehood. The sincerity of his decla ration cannot be more clearly evinced than by the folios% ing letter, addressed by him to his mother, after the warrant fur his execution comedown: " DEAR MOTIIRR, " January 29, 1821. " The awful Iteport is at length arrived, and . I am one of .those unfortunates that are doomed to die; but I have owe great consolation on my sid?, that is, my being innoceot of the foul crime alleged against me. Do not despair, dear Mother, for I hope we shall hereafter meet in a better world. Goo gave me fortitude to meet the Report, and I hope GOD will sot desert me in my last moments. 1 should wish to see you as early as pos sible; you will be admitted all this day.—Dear Mother, from your unfortunate son, " FREDEILICK WHITE." His mother, however, thinking the Petition essen tial for the preservation of his life, induced his brother to sign the prisoner's name to it. This innocent for gery produced at first a strong impression against the prisoner ; but the circumstances, when known,placed him in a more favourable point of view, Mr. Sheriff WAITIIMAN, in the course of his inqui ries, has been able to produce the most satisfactory evidence of the good character and veracity of the friendly stranger, who appeared as a witness. He has also been able to produce the concurrent testimony of eight or ten respectable person who fully confirm the above witness as to the intoxication of the prose cutor : seven of whom, including the landlord of the public.house, and several persons who Were in com pany of the prosecutor, have made affidavits, stating, that he had been several hours drinking various sorts of liquors, and that he was quite intoxicated. For tunately, Mr.WAITIIMAN was also enabled to produce the affidavit of a very respectable Gentleman,• who not only speaks highly of White's character, but also states, that, as he was returning home that evening, near to the spot,.he saw White a short time previous 1 to the robbery, and spoke to him, and that he was' entirely alone—which testimony completely discon necti him from any gang. It appears that one of the companions of the prosecutor, who swore to his so briety, does not, nor ever did, live at the place which he swore to be his residence, and was not to be found. The worthy sheriff addressed a letter to the Foreman of the Jury, stating, that some circumstances faiour able to 'White had come to his kn - owledge, which in duced him to investigate the evidence, requesting to know upon what ground their verdict was founded': and received a Declaration the next day, signed by all the Jury, stating, that they acted on a belief that , the prosecutor was sober, and that they discredited the witness for the prisoner, looking upon him in the light of an accomplice; at the same time stating, that it would afford them great pleasure if any error they had been led into could be corrected. These, and other documents as to the prisoner's character, the worthy Sheriff 144 before Lord &A mount, who submitted the whole to Mr. Baron Gkit now, before whom White was tried; and the Learned 'susige has given it as his decided opinion , th at h ad these circumstances been brought forward at th e the jury would have found a verdict of N ot Guilty. In c,onsequence of which, his MAJEny was graciously pleased to grant his free r , ar j oiL __ Thui has this youth been most providentially saved horn an ignominious end. His MaJcsvy's free pardin for Michad Ifarlg was also received by Mr. Sheriff Wainuta; wi t ; immediately communicated the same to him. • FROM LAST AIGHI'S GAZETTE. • WHITEHALL, MARC!! s, 1 4 321.
