JUNg 13. • BOXING. The battle between Dockarty, of pugilistic note s and a Scots Baker, of the name of Peatiken, the former haviOg been barked 40 guineas to xO ayainst his adversary, wits decided yesterday, nt I;m4der's Green, on the lfendon-road, in the pretence of a mi•rellaneous r outpany of several hundreds, from the Duke, marquis, and Cord, down to the Costermoneers and Kids of the 3%letropolis. Dockarty is . known to the public as a professional fi !; hter, who was beaten by young Belcher a few weeks since on Epsom Downs. The Scots Baker, who has recently beaten a couple of novices, entered the lists with no very favourable omen, as the result of the contest verified—he had to contend with a good fighter, in speaking generally of Dockarty, because he pos l / 4 e,ses, in a certithedegree, a little of every reqiiisite,.and add ed to this he was a tried bottom man. The combatants set to at one o'clock, and bettings were seven to four on Dockarty. it would not gratify . even the amattur to diail the rounds of she battle, foraithough Dockarty evidently was not to fighting condition, his adversary never gave a torts to the bettiog.— Dockartv had somethhig the best of the first round after the Baker had made play, and the second round also ended very materially in DoekartV's favour.—The combatants rallied in this round and exchanged hits, and whilst thus contending Dock arty took most of the fight out of his advers;:ry, by a well planted hit at length on the baker's head, which dropped him dexterously. Bets were offered three to vine, and this odds was never lessened derieg the combat. Peatiketioften hit. his ad verarv, but his blow:, even in vigoar, were inoffensive. He ap peared before Dockarty (who never fought ao bad) a greater novice than even three novices he bad beaten appeared before him, and in the latter rounds of the battle Ise e:hewed some currish maveuvres. The Baker had received a hideous black eye in the second round, and he had some hods , hits. ne gave in after fighting three quarters of an hour, with Out talking any material harm, and if not entirely to the sati-faction of hi, friends, he dis played more judgment than he had done in any part of the com bat. At the day was fixed on for ekgatil pastime SO it finished with the baiting of the bull. State Lottery, enntainint; Six Prizes of 20,000!.. and no fixed Capital, begins Dra wine; 28111 June, 1808.

COROVER'S hQues.r..*-- Wednesday evening a Coroner's In spirit was held at tier Cock and Cattle, K ingsland, upon the h.ody of Reuben Mayne, a bov of 10 sears of ore, supposed to have been murdered by his father. It appeared from the evi denee taken' before Mrs Unwin. the Coroner, that Reithett Matti, the father arils. decemed, who worked as a brick-maker in the field, of Mr. Rlitstes,' at Kiagsland, cohabited, with a woman of the name of MUM!

During the interval between the discovery of the fire, and the destruction of Mayne's but, the cries of the child had not been beard. Upon searching the ruins, the body of the deceased was however found, with the feet and head nearly burnt from the body, and the entrails pro truded through the abdomen. It was not till after three mes sages that the father of the child could be induced to come and examine the body ; and when he arrived, ho treated the affair with apparent inditference. One of the witnesses. who was a brick-maker, deposed, that he met Reuben Mayne and Anne Smith on their way from the fire, when the former told the latter, that if she " reuulged" she was a dead woman: A me dical Gentleman, of the name of Savage, attended, who bad seen the body before burial, and who deposed, that to his recol. lectiou there were no external marks of violence, except* what might be attributed to the fire; but, for the further sails faction of the Jury, it was ordered, that the body should be taken up to be re-examined, that it might he ascertained, by a more minute inspection, whether any previous violence bad bee^ committed on the child. The examination of the several wit nesses on this distressing occasion, occupied the Jury nearly two hours and a half; and, after the re-consideration of the matter with the assistance of the Coroner, for about a quarter of an hour, a verdict was found of Wilful Murder against Reuben Mas ne; and Anne Smith was declared an accessary to the crime. A paragraph appeared in a Morning Paper, on Tuesday. stating, that a soldier was in the custody of two Bow-street Otli= cers, on a charge of being the robber and murderer of Mr. Joa chim, in a field leading to Camden-Town, and - that the suspi cion was strengthened by one of his fingers being shot away. The fact is, no man has been in custody ; but the case and cir cumstances have been must strictly investigated by the Magi strates, and the soldiers innocence has been satisfactorily esta blished. The Royal Family, and Ladies and Gentlemen of Distinction and Fashion, use the Original Russia Oil, for moistening the !lair when dressing, which is so great a nourisher to the Hair, as to prevent it turning grey to all periods of life ; promotes the growth ; prevents its falling oil; and restores it on bald places, if the least roots remain. Several Gentlemen that were bald have declared, after using the Russia Oil regularly for three months, the bald places became nearly covered with hair. — Caution.—As noxious counterfeits are selling in petty shops. and, to deceive,' have imitated the Russian Eagle on the shew bills and covers, purchasers will therefore be particular in oh'- serving, that each bottle of the Original Russian Oil has a label on the outside wrapper, signed in Russian gold ink, " Mochri kufsky and Prince ;" any without that signature are counter ieits. Ladies and Gentlemen going to Watering-places ought not to neglect, after bathing, to use the Russian Oil, as it pre vents the general case of the water occasioning the hair to fall oft and become shaded.
