On Sunday morning last, and for several preceding Sunday mornings, the most disgraceful outrages upon moral feeling, and even common decency, have taken place, by the exhibi tion of pitched battles and pugilistic contests, near the Peni tentiary Prian, Milibank, Westminster. On iunday morning that neighbourhood was the scene of riot and confualou, in conse quence of the assembling of several hundreds of persons with a man who had bet five pounds upon the issue of his light with ano ther fellow. One of the antagonists not appearing at the time appointed, the friends of the other cheered and huzzaed, frightening the place from its propriety ! The absent pugilist, however, soon appeared, and general shouts succeeded. The men stripped to their b , o r, and, according to the laws of pugilism, shook hands, and set to. Many respectable inhabi tants, and some of them females, were compelled to witness this disgraceful scene on a Sunday morning, on their way to the Muse of Goo. 1 1 The combatants fought upwards of twenty rounds, and were engaged :wally three quarters of an hour, when one of them re ceived a severe blow en the neck, which felled him to the earth, and be was carried off insensible to the llospital,and the friends of the other boxer loudly cheered at the success of their champion. Game this year is considered much more tcarce in Sussex than has been known for many years. Tuesday week, a Custom-houre officer in Dundee thrust his hand into a box which he supposed con tained some smuggled goods; but to his great dis may the box contained a hawk, which seized him by the finger till the blood sprang. Last week, a melancholy accident occurred to a shooting patty, near Spilsby, in Lincolnshire:—As General EDEN and Mr. EDEN were pheasant shoot ing, General EDEN'S gun burst; and so shattered his hand, that immediate amputation was considered necessary. _ • Friday night, as a poor old woman, of the name of Richardson, was proceeding along the road lead ing from Botcherby Bridge to the Half-way-houses, with a load upon her back, she unfortunately missed her step and fell into a ditch, and was suffocated. It is supposed the load upon her back had kept her from raising herself up, as she was found with her face downwards. Last week, as Mr. A. BARNARD, Solicitor, of NOT. with, was passing on the road leading to the Foundry bridge, his horse took fright and threw him. In the fall his foot unfortunately got entangled in the stirrup, and he was dragged a considerable distance, by which he received a severe contusion on the bead, and was otherwise much bruised, but he is in a fair sVay of recovery. A short tune since, a woman belonging to the pa rish of Stoke, near Wareham, Dorset, in a state of intoxication, in attempting to get up behind a post chaise, sat on the spikes. Her cries alarmed the driver, who, with assistance, removed her from her perilous situation, but in a most deplorable state. Her wounds soon began to mortify, and in the course of a few days the unfortunate woman expired. Tuesday, a Coroner's Inquest was held on the body of William Williams, a collier, at Llanelly, whose death was occasioned by some unknown person hav ing, with an edge-tool, injured the rope used by the workmen to descend into the pit; it was, in conse quence unable to sustain the weight of the unfortu nate man, who was precipitated to the bottom from a great height. Verdict- 44 Came to his death in consequence of the rope, by which he was to descend into the pit, being cut, by some person or persons unknown.' A victim of disappointed love may be daily seen wandering about the streets and Inches of Perth, in a state of mental derangement, barefooted, almost in a state of nudity, and with haggard looks, yet perfectly harmless. Ile was a pains-taking journeyman shoe maker, and loved a young woman, whose father was perfectly satisfied that he should marry her. But the mother was rather shy in granting her consent to the union, although the young man was industrious, and had even saved from his earnings somewhat towards furnishing-an outfit when he should succeed in his love "suit. Things were wearing to maturity, when he inadvertently remarked in conversation, that he found it a more di ffi cult task to court the m other than the daughter. Some officious gossip repeated the words to his nearly-betrothed, and her maiden pride was keenly offended at the insinuation that she should be considered so easily won. A breach ensued ; the love-trinkets which had been occasionally presented to her were indignantly returned ; and, to increase the evil, the inconsiderate maiden appeared in public with a rival. Jealousy, wounded pride, and unextinguished affection, agitated the bosom of the discarded lover, and soon disordered his reason. It became necessary to confine him in a strait waistcoat ; but the mind's tempest subsided int* a settled melancholy madness. At the first paroxysm of his disorder, the faithless maid was introducedinto his presence ; but he looked at her with a vacant stare of stupid indifference, without the least symptom of recognition ; and the sight of the weeping beauty failed to counteract the mental poison his mind had imbibed. 1 1 3 9 1 II A rare instance of integrity of conduct has occur red within these few days which deserves to be re corded. About six years ago, a tradesman residing in Leeds fell into decay, and finding his difficulties insurmountable he left the town considerably in debt. His creditors soon considered their claims desperate, and most of them had long ago placed the omi ' nous word " bad" opposite the entry in their ledgers. But on Monday se'nnight each of them received a circular requesting that they would meet the debtor and his wife on the arrival of the Ripon coach at the White Horse inn, Leeds, and bring with them their accounts. This welcome invitation was, of course, readily accepted, and as each account was presented it was discharged, without any deduction. The aggre gate amount of the debts thus honourably liquidated we have not heard, but we know that one tradesman, a timber-merchant in Leeds, received £100! The Lady, who took an active part in this pleasurable duty has, we hear, had lately a handsome fortune left her, at her own disposal, and one of the first purposes to which she has applied her well-merited wealth, , has beeu to discharge all her husband's debts.

About a dog. The gun had been carelessly left in another fortnight previous to the meeting of the Magistratei house; and the child, following the dog, had just at Hammersmith, for the i . ur p os e o f renewing the seated herself beside it, when a youn g l a d, handling licenses, Mr. Birnie wrote a note to a Mr. John Mill the gun, discharged the contents, which lacerated her wood, a stone-mason, of Hammersmith, requesting he would call upon him at the Public Office, Bow knees and legs in a shocking manner, and blew the animal to pieces. The charge was so enormous; that street; the magisterial summons was instantly obeyed, both legs hung by a mere bit of flesh, and although and the following is the substance of the Magistrate's medical aid was almost immediately procured, it questions and inquiries. The tradesman, after being was found impossible to save the infant's life; she informed' that Mr. Birnie had information upon oath lingered for six hours. on the subject, was asked, among a variety of other questions, the-following t--' If he had not, in con junction with Sir Robert Wilson, actuated and given the people money to pull up the stones at the end of Church-lane? If he was not acquainted intimately with the person of Sir Robert Wilson?' And on his replying to both these questions in the negative, the worthy Magistrate inquired' if he did not see a tall Gentleman on a tall horse, with a star on his breast, give five shillings to the men—and if the same person bad not a pot of beer resting on the pummel of his saddle, out of which he afterwards drank the health of the persons who were pulling up the stones ?"I'hese questions met a most decided negative. (By way of refreshing his memory, I suppose), the Magistrate ob served, that Sir Robert Wilson was a very remarkable man ; he was very tall, and very discernible upon that occasion. These and a number of other such questicns met with similar contradictions, when the witness was Ordered to withdraw, without receiving any satisfac. tion for his trouble and loss of time:' SUDDEN DEATH.--An awful event took place during the Worcester Musical Festival, at the precise time when Mr.VAuostArr was singing " Gentle Airs," accompanied on the violincello by Mr. MIL JOHN GRIFFITHS, one of the vocal performers, fell back in his seat, in an apoplectic fit ; his ghastly death-like appearance, together with groans, excited a considerable degree of serious sensation among the performers, as well as that part of the congregation who could behold him. At the conclusion of Mr. LINDLEY'S cadence he was carried out, and several medical gentlemen who formed part of the congre gation hastened to attend him ; they proceeded to bleed him, and he was conveyed to his residence by six men, where he continued in a senseless state till Saturday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, when he expired. He had been a member of the Worcester Choir for upwards of thirty years. He possessed one of the most powerful bass voices that ever was heard, and some years since he was engaged as the principal bass singer at the Covent-Garden Oratorios. His voice was heard predominant above all, even in very large orchestras, with an organ and a numerous assemblage of vocal and instrumental performers. He was engaged at the great celebration of HANDEL in Westminster Abbey. Miss STEPHENS was extremely affected on viewing him before he was car ried out of the orchestra, and burst into a flood of OCCURRENCE IN ST. JAMES'S PARK Yesterday morning, a female, far advanced in pregnancy, vitae crossing the Park from Storey's-gate to Spring Garden-gate, and the ground being very wet from the continued showers, and her shoes very light and thin, she (contrary to a notice issued by the Ranger) kept her pattens on. A sentinel near the Re. gent's Bomb called to the female to take off her patterns, and be cause she did not obey his commands so promptly as be ex. pected, he ran up to her, shook her, and threatened to take her to Queen-square Police-office. A middle-aged man, dressed in a dark surtout coat, of gentlemanly appearance, said to the wo man, " Never mind." The sentinel exclaimed, " What do you say, Sir?" and seized him by the collar of his coat. The Gen. amen replied, " What is it to you?" The sentinel said " I insist upon knowing what you said." The Gentleman answered, el You may insistlf you please; but I shall not answer any of your interrogatories." The soldier said, " You are my prisoner` then," and took the Gentleman to his sentry-box, and ordered him to go into it till the relief-guard arrived. The Gentleman said he would not go into the box; thqt if be had acted improperly he was ready to go to the guard-room, or to surrender to a civil officer. The sentinel was in the act of forcing the Gentleman into the sentry-hoz, when the Serjeant of the Guard arrived, and the sentinel said to him, 4 This fellow, on my telling a wo man to take off her pattens, said to her not to mind what I said." The Gentleman replied, that the woman's pattens were off when he spoke, and all that he meant by " never mind," was, that as she had not far to walk then, not to mind it. He spoke merely from feelings of commiseration for the situation of the poor woman. The Adjutant arrived soon after, and the Gen. Boman was marched by the guard to the Horse-Guards, and not less than an hundred persons witnessed the affair. The sen+ tinel was examined by the Adjutant r. he was asked if the Gen dent= abused him? and he replied, " Yes, be did abuse me." The Adjutant asked what the Gentleman said? He replied, " He said he would not answer my question, and caUed me a fool!" Several Gentlemen here exclaimed, that it was the col,. dier who called the Gentleman " fool." The Adjutant thus took the Gentleman aside, and, after some conversation, said, that he was satisfied that he had no intention of acting inspro. perly ; but no cicilian must interfere, in any waywitatever * with the military ; and he was at liberty to go about his business. The Gentleman asked for the sentinel's name. The Adjutant re fused to give it ; and said, if the Gentleman was not content with being dismissed, he should charge him with a constable.... The Gentleman then departed. The subscriptions towards purchasing an annuity for Sir ROBERT Witsos, which were announced an• der the letters D.

Sir ROBERT WILSON has arrived in London. tears. Most of the performers were much affected at the afflicting scene. Miss STYPHENS recovered herself in time to sing her last air, "Farewell ye limpid springs and floods." FATAL IVIISTAM—Friday se'nnight, a fine infant, the child of Mr. Richards, master of the Diocesan School, in Chester, met a premature death under the following circumstances :—Mrs. Richards, having occasion to go from home for a short time during the early part of the evening, left the servant girl in charge of the infant, which becoming very cross and uneasy, the girl took from the cupboard what she supposed to be a cordial occasionally given to the child, and admihistered a small portion of it. The infant presently became more violently , affected; in which state the mother found it on her return home; and on inquiry whether the young woman had given anything to it, she said she had, shewing her the bottle from whence it had been taken. The afflicted mother immediately discovered that the supposed cordial was a poisonous mixture termed ./aeob's Water, and in a state of distraction, cried out, " You have poisoned my child I" Medi cal assistance was imme diately had recourse to, but in vain ; the infant con tinued to labour under excruciating agony ;. convul sions ensued, and about midnight its short earthly, career was terminated. The young female who had' been the unhappy, but ignorant cause of the calamity.' on being told that the mixture was poisonous, said' she had taken some herself; to her also medical applications were administered, which, fortunitely, proved more salutary and effectual than to the more feeble and tender victim of her indiscretion.— We sincerely trust the above occurrence will operate as a caution to parents, not to suffer deleterious sub stances to remain within the reach of their servants or children. Lord BUROHERSH does not resume his Ministerial functions at Florence. It is probable that either his Lordship or Mr. THORNTON will be the new Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Spain. Mt.
