Cowes, (ISLP OP • ,HT,) Dec. 14.—A most me lancholy occurrence has taken place on this island. The ac tors were, Major Lockyer and his friend, Captain Recisdale ; Lieutenant Cochrane Sutton, and his second, Mr. Hands, all passengers on board the ship Grace, now in these roads, cleared mot for St. Thoiaasa, but nltimately destined for the South American coast, ard freighted expressly with about 60 adventurers for the Spanish Patriot cause. On Tuesday, the 011 i inst. the above mentioned came on shore, intending to pass the (ley in a social manner, and never dreaming that any subject of quarrel could wise among meu who had previously lived on terms the most remote from jea lousy or strife. In the conrse of the afternoon they acciden tally separated; Sutton and Muds repaired to a billiard table, where, with offices, they played for wine fora consi derable time ; and Lockyer and ltedsdale retired to the Dol.; phis, and there remained till Sutton mid Hands had joined them: which was not, however, till Sutton had drank stitfi cient to lose the steady control of his mind. The hour was nine. The conversation, as natural to adventurers, turned upon the subject of their voyage. Some 'advanced one opi nion, and some another; at length, the motive for sailing, and the heecenity of continuing it, began to be investigated with some degree of warmth; this drew the following remark from Sutton :—" We are all idle, mid in debt at home ; can there he stronger motives for seeking activity and bread abroad P. Mejor Lockyer Indignantly replied, " Sir, 1 am not in debt, and I desire you to be more particular in my company."— Sutton retorted, " I can prove that we arc all in debt." "It is false," exclaimed his opponent. Sutton now, with an ex pression of archness and jocularity, is said to have observed, " Why, Loekyer, if we arc not in debt to any 1111111411 being, you will still allow that we are all in debt to our Creator." It was now one in the morning. The conversation ceased; Lockyer left the room, scut in for his friend Itedsdale, who, instantly after, returned to the room, and - whispered a mes sage from his principal in Sutton's ear. Lockyer next hired a boat, in %hick he went to the Grace for his case of pistol., ; ard, returning to the italphiu, retired to rest. Sutton sad his friends, after drinking some time longer, perambulated the town. At eight o'clock the parties met at the Ihilphin ; walked at no great distance from each other, to a field ad jacent to the town. The records attended, and a doctor was at band. Twelve paces were measured, and the combatants took each his ground. On the delivery of the pistols, Sutton instructed his second to say to Major Lockyer, that he never intended to give him offence, and that lie was willing to make that 'coieession as an apology; but coald not offer one framed in Mir:Abler terms ; also, that he woutil not return :he Major's fire, presuming that shunting to be strut at like a post would expiate his unintentional offence, and that hr possessed the courage with which the name of Cochrane had ever be fore been &dam). In consequence, he never unstopped his pistol. Itlejur Lockyer called for the signal to tire, which was given by the dropping of a handkerchief, and Sutton fell, being shot through the heart. Loekyer, Hedsilale, and Hands instantly tied; the doctor remained with the hotly, but it was of no avail; the ball entered by the right breast, penetrated both ventricles of the heart, mid litirruwed itself iu the integuments of the left aide. The COIVOCI'S inquest has returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against the principal aad both seconds. Sutton's second is in custody, am/hopes are entertained that the two others cannot escape. The above particulars are on the Co roner's record, and way be published without reproach. I'. F. D. The ship Grace, of London,Davey, Master, with 80 officers on board, bound to St. 'Thomas's, on the South American ex pedition, has been seized in Cowes roads, by J. Ward, Esq.

BOXING. The mncb talked of contest between Painter and Sutton, fElt a purse of 83 guineas for the winner and 20 for the loser, raised by a number of the inhabitants of Norwich and its via cinity, took place on 'Tuesday, near Itiingay, Suffolk. W. know nut whether that place was fixed on, in consequence of any intimation on the part of the Norfolk Magistiates that such an infimons proceeding would not be suffered within their jurisdiction, and that more apathy was expected MS the part of the gentlemen in the commission for S afloat ; brit be that as it may, we do not learn that opposition was made by the latter gentlemen, though they must be &masters indeed; if they were unapprized via circumstance with which 12,0(4 persons were acquainted in time to be spectators ; as that number, one reporter states, were present at the scene ; and amongst whom were several well dressed beings of the Air (we will not say of the softer) sex, for however their heads may partake of that quality, their hearts must be adamantine) and steeled against every impression of feminine delicacy, before they could experience any satisfaction in such a sighs. It is, however, our task, and a nauseous one it is, to detail the particulars, for the amusement of such of our readers at can find pleasnie in the description of such a scene. The seconds were, Belcher and Harmer for Painter, and Owen and Richmond for Sutton. Betting varying from 11 to n to 5 to& Roux!) I.

The Black, in a rally, planted a blow on his adversary's eye . ; but Painter out-fought him , and clunweryed his head tinmerts fully ; and, breaking distance between the hits, renewed the giving system, and displayed the first-rate science. After exchanging isereral blows, Painter slipped up; although. he had superiority in fighting. yet the manner in which he suddenly fell off in his late combat with Sutton was fresh in the memory of the Londoners its the ring, and no more than 6 to 4 was betted upon him. 3.ltoth sparring to defeat !piping.

He broke from the rally, and received his adveesare with much dexterity by left-handed and the claret which flowed from every part of Sutton's haul had a fr;gli!ful appearance. lie fought game and was not to be stalled oil' untill he fell from hitting and weakness, and the battle was here reduced tr. a certainty. 9th and 10th rounds were all on Painter's side; but the BLOC placed some blows, but which were net very effective. . Sutton recovered himself; fought desperately, and had the worst of it—but he threw his man. 12. fainter fought cautiously; but akhoegh he placed *hit nn Alts adversvr - 's ca-, which produced dares, lie was compliment% with a hit which produced the same effect as that upon Pamter, visa showed off the nauset-piece of science, and floored his man. 13.
