Although 1;•e production of an illiiciatc man. it is truly astonish ing that the nitntt of a man nearly fourscore years coal, by any possibility, tinder circumstances so peculiarly awful, for a moment be so absiracted front his situation as to admit of so extraoniinary a production.

It had been whispered about in the sportino• des that a plant from Bath had arrived in London to take the shine out of some of the fistic heroes of the London ring.--Josh. and the new Candidate for fighting fame fell in with each other on Tuesday night at a jovial party, when, after plenty of chaf fing, Josh. became jealous of a rival, and off he hWloggery, and gave the Bath man a punoh in the head, which he was too good to take quietly. • The parties retired to a chosen spot, peeled and tallied to. Harry Holt seconded Josh and Auxin the 114th man. A merry battle of 35 minutes followed, although neither er the men were in right condition. Josh, in his usual bulddog form, went up to his adversary's head, and dealt oat punish ment but Le found in Wells a man not easy to be shook elf.-- Josb was parried and returned spnn, and both went down. 2. Josh. led in this round, but be was thrown a Leavy cross buttock. The next four rounds produced something like equal fight, both proving high couraged ones. The claret bustled about freely, and t e men got tired. Josh was throws heavily aglow ' at the end of the Gilt round, and lamed in the knee. 7. Josh, weal limping to the scratch, and hit away wear grea t disadvantages, hu he was too good to flick He placed a rattling facer on his ad y, who threw him; and that seemed at 'llia stage of the light to be his situ. In the lOth round tha gallant Josh. managed to reduce vic tory to a tolerable certainty. He rattled away, and did smart execution. It was Newgate to a scout ken. 11 and 12. Josh. had his work to du, and be was thrown heavily in the last of these rounds. The 12th eettled the business. Josh hit his ad y on the mare, where the remains of two poonds of solid had been de posited, and lie gave in. The light was for pure love and glory ; and Hadsoo won it under great disadvantagy.s.% DEEP PLAT.—The late General Ogle had an ' unconquerable attachment to play. A few weeks Lame he was to sail fur India, he constantly at. tended Pain's, in Charles-street, St Jamu's-square, where he aPernate!y won and lust large sums. One evening there were before him two wooden bowls full of gold, which held fifteen hundred guineas each ; and ►lso four thousand guineas in roams: which he had won. When the box came-to him, Le shad• the dice, and with great cuoluets and plea - santry said—" Come, either win or lose seven • thousand upon this hand ; will any gentleman s•t me the whole .? Seven thousand is the maim"— Then rattling the dice once more, cut the brut from him, and gaited it. the dice remaining covered.— • Though the General did not consider this too large• • a sum for one man to risk at a single throw the re:•t of the gentlemen did, and fiir some time he remained unset. He then said—" Well, gentlemen, will you make it up amongst you ?" One set him 5001. another 5001.—" Come," says he, " whilst you are making up this money-7,0001.-1V tell you a story." Here he began to relate a story that Was • pertinent to the moment ; 'but perceiving that he was completely set, stopped short—laid his hand upon the box okaying, " I believe I am set, gentle men ?"—" Yes, Sir: seven is the main." • He threw out ! Then with astonishing coolness took up his snuff-box, and smiling, exclaimed, " Now, • gentlemen, I'll finish my story, if you please." About 1750, a merchant of Cleves, named Jo rissea, who had become almost totally deaf, sitting one day near a harpsicord while some one was play ing, and having a tobacco-pipe in his mouth, the bowl of which rested accidentally against the body • of the instrument, he was agreeably and unexpeet- edly surprised to hear all the notes-in the most dis- tinet manner. By a little refketion and - practice ho again obtained the use of this valuable sense, which as Bonnet says, connects us with the moral world ; for he soon learned, by means of a piece of hard wood, one end of whick lie placed against his teeth, to keep up a conversation, and to be able to under- • stand the least whisper. His son afterwards made this beneficial discovery the subject of nn inaugural . • dissertation, published at Halle, in 1754. Perolle has given some excellent observations on the cape &Any of hard bodies to conduct sound, in the Mc-.• • moirs of the Academy of Turin, for 1790 and 1791. The effect is the same if the person who speaks rests the stick against his throat or his breast ; or when one rests the stick which he holds in his teeth against some vessel into which the other speaks. There is at present living at The, dosia, Mite Crimea, an Armenian, whose age is 120 years. He was born in Persia, and preserves a pertixt recol lection of the celebrated Thomas Kuli Khan, whom he frequently saw. His health is good, and he is surrounded by his descendants. Ills youngest daughter is now 35 years old. Tosacco.—The Aute,.ican Fariner tells us, that some tobacco made by Judge Dorsey, of Maryland, last year. sold in turope for fifty-two dollars per hundred, and some which grew in Montgomery County, and sold in Baltimore for thirty•seven brought in Holland the enormous sum of up wards of sixty dollars per hundred.
