John Ready,another friend of the plaintiff, also proved that he had seen the defendant, and that the defendant acknowledged the concern, whilst he was in it, produced but a small profit, and his conviction that, after be had withdrawn his personal attention, it would still worse. Witness had been on the premises, and did not consider the stock and machinery as worth noire than 1501.—lie ads ised 11 r. Arnold to settle the affair with plaint tl, and seemed inclined to do so. Ur. Scariest said he would now call a clerk frcni the excise to shew that Arnold had no juiciest ill the concern.

Co!ludic Essancipsdioti.—The report of the King having written a letter to tha Duchess of Glouces ter, expressing his satisfaction at the Catholic Bill havintr been thrown out, is a complete Motivation. One of the Royal Family, who has lately spoke w the Duchess of Gloucester on the subject of this re port, has authorised his friends to contradict it as a malevolent fiction. So far from the King having testified any unfavourable opinion of the Catholics, every thing that has come to light respecting his sentiments on this question, from the time it first came betime Parliament this session, shows that his Majesty is hell disposed towards it. Nu fewer than three of the Lords of the Bedchamber voted fur tite bill. On Wednesday the parties interested attended at the Crown Wice, Westminster, at eleven o'clock, it being the homr appointed for striking the Juries in the cases of th♦ prosecution instituted against Mes.rs.

Many blows were hit away, and some parried ; but Martin !placed one on his adversary's burly, which sent him away a foot or two, in a close both fell, and Martin was under. 4. Turner made some scientific panics of Martin's right hand. which was hunt upon mischief. Martin's rush was bent by a counter hit, and he threw Turner, but went down with him. 3. The men closed without doing any mischief, and at the weaving system Martin's strength gave bun best. 4. Martin placed a heavy right handed bud/ blow, which sent Turner tar his balance. Turner had rather the best of this round, by hitting his advermry hcLvily on the neck, which seemed to groggily him Ho 11160 placid another hit on the head; but he was thrown from the close. 6. Martin's neck was well marked, and he threw some well intended blows away, and he received a smart hit on the mouth, and was undermost in the fall 1. This was about the best round of the fight. Turner placed a dash hit upon his adversary's left eyelid. which produced streams of claret, but he was returned upon and thrown, after a ccnrazeous s.

A hard rally followed, at the end of which bath w-nt down. setaned distressed more than his adversary. but both had woi iced hard in a hut sun, and Martin's superior weight gave him all advantage, and lie placed the awkward right hauled blow upon the body again, and threw Turner.—Betting 6 to 6 on Turner. 10.

Nothing but the well-known goodnesj of Turner could liars prevailed on his backers to fancy him now, as Martin placed the heavy right handed hit several times, and Turner could not stop it. or return, and he wa, thrown. Martin's eye was nearly closed, but his steadiness and condition gave hint an advantage, and he bored his adversary down in most of the subsequent rounds, as the tight did not altiord a clean knack down. At this stage of the tight the hitting was compara tively feeble, and Turner was hit several times upon the body, in he iath round, atter drawing more claret nom Martin's left eye. and relieving the swelling. Although h 9 rounds were fought in one hour and 2$ minutes, detail would be tiresome to the reader. In nearly every round Martin was successful in planting his telling body blow ; and although Turner in return eceasiontlly pinked the head, it was of no use, as lie went down from weak ness in every round at the latter part of the battle; but the odds were never more than two to one against him, and at last nature turned him up, and he could not come to time. Spring and all Amateur seconded the winner, and Belcher amid Randall picked np Turner. It was a good light, but youth and streagth won it fur Martin ; both skewed lots of courage. Rasher beat Spencer in one hour, for a purse ; but we have mantel room nor time fur detail. lie had beat him twice before. It appears that agricultural distress is much less felt in Lancashire than in most other parts of the kingdom, fur it is a singular fact, that at the Earl of Derby's last general half-yearly rent-day, there was but one defaulter among his Lordship's numer ous tenantry.

'U MA RTINI and TURNER. —These heroes of the fist need no panegyric, or to classify it with the lan. guage of the ring gammon, their merits were before tried and approved of, and next to Randall they were the best of the light weights. Turner's fame was established in his battle with the brave Curtis ; but knocking Jack Scruggius's invulnerability out of the ring, placed him high on the list ; and he next defeated his present adversary tolerably easy. This will suffice by way of biography, as the men are well known. In order to keep a ring as select as possible, Crawley Gammon, 32 miles from Lon don, was appointed for the fight, and there was a strong muster of all sorts at twelve o'clock, when the commander-in-chief marshalled the forces, but the heat of the day knocked up horses, which were seen at a stand-still every mile en the roAd, and some fell to the lot a the knacker. Before one o'clock the battle commenced, and average betting was 15 to on Turner.
