U- 216 BOXING. Tuesday last was the day for making an ad dition to the cake-money between Randall and Martin, but, as it was anticipated, the match is oft, and without a forfeit, from the bungling manner in which the articles were drawn up. It was at Spring's house where the parties met, and to finish, Spring and Randall had a fight, the marks of which the latter beam and he menses Spring of hitting and kicking when down. The matter is not set at rest, and some diversion is likely to ensue. Two merry stand-tip banks were timght on Thurs day morning last, on the Weald, near Stoke, Bucks. The first was for 20 guineas, between Josh. Davis and Joel Harris, two very good bred ones, of eleven stone each. The first two rounds lasted to quarter of an hone, and the claret flowed in abundance. Davos was thrown in linth rounds. 3. Rarria received a heavy facer, which darkened one of his peepers. hut be floored his adversary by ta hit * to the wind, wide!' doubled him up. rs, awd..o minds were fought in distress ; but the men re covered second wind in the 7th round, and turn, d to fur mis chief. It was a gallant round iu favour of ►)avis, who loosened kis. adversary's jaw. tl and 9„Davia kept the lead, and !Janis was blind of an eye ; but Lr tlamrod Mull in tooth these rounds. Ile how ever bad No chanee alter, altlion4li he protracted the to the ►:oh round, when be wan hit down, and was deaf to the CO of time. Davis won it iu thirty-two minutes. _ Moss and Ilavell.—This was a merry fight for a 51. purse, and it was won by Moss in QO minutes by superior fighting. Havell was the biggest man, .but Moss is a straight left-handed hitter at the head, and he managed hts aaversary's prominent organ in good form. Last week a sheep, fatted by Mr. Di•gens, of Col- Aenham,stear Ipswich, was slaughtered there, which weighed l 1 Rt.4lb. (141 b. to the stone); the shoulders of which weighed 211lh. each; the legs 201 b.; and :the loins 191 b. each. l'alostrite.ir AG BIC U LTU RAL REPORT.—Since our last ' „report. the aspect of the country, in all its productions, has heel) considerably reduced in verdure anti luxuriance, by almost constant drought, and excessive solar heat, _alternating with chilling easterly winds. Thunder storms have been frequent, but the accompanying showers have tiot been sufficient to moisten beyond the surface of the earth, or effectually nourish the vegetaole touts. Ihe latimmal wheats, with the usual local excephons, will be a meat crop, perhaps cosiderably beyond an average, and the harvest as early as in the most favourable yea's. We do not recollect to have seen the wheat in bloom earlier.; that critical process is n o w put on the best lauds, where wheat, should not unfavourable weather intervene, will be cut in the middle of next month.— Spring wheat, not so usual a crop as •formerly, partakes of the ill success of the other lent corn crops, trout the want of,rain ; and, should the same defect continue, those crops must be aeueridly lig:it at harvest.—l'lte perpetual atmospheric changes most hate their in variable (-fleet on the corn, from its grass to its present state.; and the wheats have universally the blue tinge, with the spotted and striated, leaf, the ears also being most discoloured. How tar this may be productive of disease is usually uncertain, dependant probably on cir cunisiat,ces. borne complaints continue of the rough ness and intractable state of the clays and heavy land (allows, which bad no winter frosts to render them friable. Tne consequence will be not. only a bad tilde, but superahmulant crupuf couch grass tor luture seasons. Turnip sowing (few Swedes this year) has been in full progress; but, should the draught continue, there will Ire tau want ()illy, On good and moist soils the pr.tatocs look blooming and luxuriant? on those of an arid des cription, the clop will be greatly defective; they are, howety, cheaper now in some parts 01 England than ever bcfurc kilowis. Sheep shearing has been universally early, and most sucetsful. The wool, having had no iuipeelituent to its growth from the rigours of winter, and the sheep having been well kept, their fleece was ear:y ripe, weighs well, and is full of condition. Not withstanding the want of rain, the crops of grass, natural and artificial, with smite failures, were never earlier Ur nor the hay better preserved, or of a more nutritious quality, being full of at ed. Hops, with all the usual tickets of an uncertain season, are likely to prove a heavier crop than may be agreeable to someconsidetable • holders —,Many farmers, who continue the old practice of broad casino; beans, will find the present season a • orresajts .csee. Soiling cattle and horses has been very successful.. The advance ou lean stock has cootitmed, wilii!st the depression of price in meat and corn has 6c, regularly progreasive, forboding a still farther and perhaps considerable decliee. NI itch cow bare cheaper ; oigs a tid pork below, every thillia else iii price. In a considerable her of comities the reports are favourable, as res pects the libourerai--prenty of employ, and no reduction of wages; which, together with the cheapness of neces saries, has greatly sod happily reduced the Iv or-rates.— Remarkable that the accounts are not so satisfactory from wipe of the riOsest and must (elude counties, as front thine of a direct!! opposite description. Apples are said to (WOW ISC atom lastly, awl the crops of pears to be souse what better than what was expected in the spring.— Letters front Scoilacel do not speak very lii6hly of the CUM crops: wheat most promising. The corn markets, weary • the el ttttt inion of " currency," have lately agreed w use governed by the weather; and a certain sect styled poiitical economists, have succeeded in the variable market of opinion, to all the odium coil s, yietit on our agricultural distresss Days of tinter rsined suinibiiie began in the middle of May. and the tneriirometer averaged trout 68 to 75, and in the sun was from WO to to log, though in the night it fell 1050, and ofteirto 40. Of rain there has been two or three anowers, and one thunder-sturui. THE NATIONAL REGISTER On Wednesday afternoon a female called with a note directed to Mr. Harding, silversmith, Oxford street, requesting some silver tea-pots might be sent to No 7, Chapel-place, Vere-street, for the approba tion of a lady, who could rot leave the house. A young man was despatched with some, and after being admitted to the house by the same female, was shown into the drawing-room, where three tea-pots were salected, and she went up-stairs ter the purpose of showing them to the lady. After waiting a quarter of an hour, he rang the bell, and found she had made her escape, taking with her the property. Captain O'Grady and Mr. James Grattan, both Irish county members, had an eifair of honour lately, in consequence of a political dispute. The former was attended by the lion J. Lowther, as his second, and the latter by the Hon. Charles Howard Butler- Clarke After an exch•nge of shots, the seconds interfered, and the perties shook hands before they left the ground. A wealthy planter, who died lately at Demerara, has left all Isis property, in the first instance, to a member of the legal profession, w ith reversion to Mr. Filcea, a merchant, at Stockholm. Such is the im mense value of the estates bequeathed, that at mer chant in London, it is said, has offered Mr. Fileen 850,0001. for his reversion, which the latter hits, however, declined. Dasaieure a Commtortarrox.--About two o'clock in the afternoon of S lay last, a destructive fire broke out in the little populous town of 11 hitstable, more ex tensive and calamitous in ns consequences to the sufferers than any it has been our lot to record for many years in Kent. It commeticed at a store-house adjoining the dwelling house of Mr. Gann, at the Wenall end of the place ott the sea wall, and the roof being composed of match, and the oth e r part of wood, the whole was in a short time a blaze of lite : the wind, which at the anometit blew strong front the west, scattering the burn ing etchers along the whole line of the sea-beach. On the alarm being given, numbers of the inhabitants hast ened to the spot, as also the officers and seamen of the blockade-service stationed on that part or the coast, and while engaged its endeavouring to arrest the pro gress of the Haines, it was perceived that a S:Ort holllNC t-dotiging to Government on the sea-wall, at tla: eastern extremity of the place, at least a quarter of a mile distant trout where the fire orientated. was also in flames. In tile meats time the conflagration spread front the store-house abovetneutioned to the dwelling-house, boat-boilder's shop, and other buildings, of the late Mr. Peter 'l' all : and trout thence along the wall to several small More and beta .houses, both upon the beach and within the wall, till it reached a large building with a barn and stable, belonging to Mr. Edenden ; all of which being built of wood and other combustible materials, yielded excessively to its fury. From hence the ignited embers were mined in the direction of the wind to a range of three thatched buildings, wish lofts over the same, filled with pitch, paint, spars, &c. the workshops of Mr. William Reeves, boat-builder, situate blow the sea-wall, the whole of which were speedily consumed, with nearly all their contents. These premises imme diately abutted to the hacks of the dwelling-houses lorming the left side of Whitstableuttreet, beyond the Duke of Cumberland inn, many of which caught tire, and were much damaged, and the commu nication with others was prevented by pulling down the nut-buildings. la the meats time the flames of the store. house at the ea.t end of the wall had been communi cated to the storehouse of Mr. J. Terry, and to the pre lilacs of Mr. T. Jarrett and of Mr. Carden at the same end of the street, which were shortly cousume•t, and the further progress of the use was only arrested by pull ing down the adjoining storehouse of Mr. Cambow, and by there being no other buildings in the itamediate range ot the wind to which the burning flakes could be cons mumbated. Attention was now directed to prevent, as speedily as possible, the danger which might be appre hended lest the change of wind should scatter the living ashes on the adjoining buildings in which work the ex ertions of the inhabitants was aided by the Kent and Norwich engines from Canterbury, which. au the in telligence arriving about eight o'clock, were immediately despatched, as well as by numbers of the citizens of all classes, who proceeded to the place. At live o'clock, by the persevering cautious of all, and especially of the party tit the hiockade service, of whew exertions too omen ca 1111 l a be said, all farther immediate danger was prevented; the spectacle, however, was that of a scene of smoking rums towards the sea, from one extremity of the place to the other; while in the street there was scarcely a house on the left side out of which the furni ture was not removed. The total of buil•• digs destroyed is 46—viz. 9 dwelling-houses. 4 boat-builders' shops ► and 33 stole-houses, and very many others were partially injured. The estimate of the loss and damages of build ings and furim►ure, from the MOM moderate calculation, will amount to nearly 7,0001., of which sum little more than 1,1001. is insured; but the most serious deprivation is that of the poor dredgermen, many of whose boats, with their nets and materials, were bursa in the different store-houses, so Mal they are actually deprived of the ineaus obtaiteinf a livelihood. Ft aes.--.011 Thursday morning last, at five o'clock, a fire broke out in the house of Mr. Kidsweil, of Falcons Here-court, Soho-square, which caused a considerable alarm in the neighbourhood. It commenced in the workshop, in consequenceof ►he shavings catching fire, and in a short time the whole of the back place was burnt. On the arrival of the engines, the fire was WWI got under, and prevented doing further damage. Another lire h oke out at half past ten o'clock on Wednesday night in the shop of Mr. Asher:ll, shoemalsor, of ltus sell-►!rest, COVelll Garden, which complete:4y deatroyed the lower part of theipreitieses.
