'N' T; eSG:t ‘. • The match fur 100 guineas a side, between Randal, the phottomenun of the premed day, and Parish, the watt rman, who had !ought himself high on the' milling list, took place on TIlUi , 11A, nu 1141.11Ciiminuti, in Kent. Wallingliam Coin mons how slot miles ma the other aide of Croydon, was the place where the boxers tirsi assembled—but a Magi.: cafe appeared and compelled them to retire thence into another county, to which hi' ainhority did not extend. Round I. After much sparring and measurement. Randal planted a strait hit upon his adversary's chest and broke away. He repeated the blow, and Parish returned upon him, but out of distance, and cansemwntly very slight. Randal placed a revere right handed hit won the cheek bone, which tapped the claret, and again broke ground to off fighting. Parish's blows were parried. and the round closed with Randal hitting him again in the body wi th the left hand. followed quickly with the right in front of the head, which floored him upon his face as if shot. The first blood and first knock down were decided.—s to lon Randal. 2. Parish bled copiously from the head, but he was not intimida ted. Ile made play with both hands, but the hits fell short. from Randalhaving a knack of throwing his body back, and 14,2 was re turned on Parish's body. Randal manoeuvred with a sort at' minuet step. and after parrying his adversary, he gave him another dash r ight handed facer, and in a close he served Parish as he had before done Nest Country Dick; he got his head under his arm, and held ban up until he properly exchequered his nob by fibbing, and when lie hail done exercising his punishing abilities, both went down. 3. It was Ilse minutes before a blow was struck, and a voice called o u r, •• Why don't you fight ? you'll have the Beak here again pre sently,besides it will be dark, and it will be a drawing concern " Randal at length let fly his right hand and caught his adversary in the throat through his guard. Perish returned short, and Randal again made a terrible right handed hit which grazed the head only. Parish, with much quickness, delivered a blow upon his adversary's eve, which set it twinkling. but lie was complimented with a flooring hit upon the nose. 4. Parish made play, but he could not place his blows, and he re ceived a heavy hit on the cuntunal nose. A &>•e followed, in which Randd shewed the master piece of in-fighting as well as superior strength. He dealt with Parish against the ropes unmercifully, and when tired of giving, he threw him.-100 to 5 was offered, but no takers. 5. Randal made a severe left-hand blow against his adversary's teeth, which cut his fingers to the bone, and it bled in torrents throughout the battle. In a close Parish was thrown. Randal had completely seduced winning to a certainty, and the head of Parish was a confused mass, and every feature was distorted ; be had received enough for any ordinary glutton. I;. l'arish missed his hits and closed, when he received the same pu nishment as in the former rounds, and he was thrown. The poundage was refused. 7. Randal put in a terrible hit on the throat, and closed upon his adversary again upon the ropes, and did more execution than in any former round, from the weak state of Parish. R. Three distinct hard blows were received try Parish, and lie re turned the last by a smart blow on Randal's mouth, which drew blood; but he was thrown. Parish ran in. and aftet having been served again at the ropes, he was knocked down. to. Parish aimed every effort to make a turn in the battle in vain. Ili* hits were parried. and lie was constantly receiving. He at length fought wild, and Randal threw him with that aorta force that On ! was heard throughout the ring. I tilt last round. Randal made shifts and broke away, and when tired of this, he mauled his adversary again at the ropes, and gave hint a heavy tall. Parish could not stand asp again, and he hurt his right arm in the fall. The fight lasted fifty minutes. Randal its l'r.lll/r 4 l all the expectatioiia which his patron, Colonel Barton had formed of him in his first combat. He, like the celebrated Jim Belcher is a fighting mini lay mature, and no professor was even considered a greater adept in the 'Metier. —Both his hands are alike : errifie ; he measures his distance with incomparable nicety, and never hits out till his object is complete. He never appears distressed for wind, and his legs are as uimble as his fists.—Parish, who has al ways beat his mat. handsomely, had no chance. —He was kept in a state of stupor from the first round, without an op portunity of recovering. MURDERS AT GODALMiNU.-0A Saturday se'nnight G. rhentiell, jun, and William Clialc raft, who were both in the employ of George Chennell, sen., shoemaker, at Godalining, were privately re-examined before Lord Viscount Middleton, at the George Inn, Godalining, on the charge of Arai ing tiered the said G. Cheimell, sen. and Elisabeth Wilson, Ms housekeeper, ou the night of the 19th Nov. inst. A great deal cf important es idencel:4lllo Ullt betore thee worthy niagistrate, whose exertions have been indefatigable. Several fresh witnesses were examined ; and such was their testimony, that very little doubt remained out the subject as to the guilt of both prisoners. Such stroog corroborating facts were brought forward, that the suspicion which was entertained of others being concerned in this shocking murder was quite removed. The evidence we cannot at present give, as the Magistrate particularly requested that tho new evidence might not he 'made public until the final examination took place, as other witnesses are yet to he ex , 111 l ined on a future day. The Ma gistrate at the close of his examination called at the prison at Godaluting, and informed the prisoners that they must pre• pare themselves to be removed to the county town prepara tory to their trials, for he should fully commit them ou the next examination, and hoped thel would make the best use of their time prior to their trial. 'I lie prisoners are both young Well, and totally denied the charges; but since this last ex amination, their conduct has chatiged to great seriousness ; altliongli they still persist in their innocence, their minds are " ill at case, - and the it assumed indifference has vanished.

QUEEN-SQUARE. Kroh ASSAULT.—SaraII 11;;IirleY,of Adam-street West, Portman-square, a dashing female of the hillier class of Cy. Cetnerme Chapman, and Argo Paternel, an East Indian female, both serv ants to the former, were broaglit to the Office on a warrant obtained against them by— Per kins, Esq. of Portland - street Puriland-place, charging them with violently assaulting and beating hint. It appeared from the complainant's statement, that he had lately come from the East Indies, where he first became ac quainted with the defendant Brom.ey, who was born in that country , tint lett it before the complainant came from thence. Since his arrival in this country complainant had accidentally met .Nest Brosnley,and an intimacy had been formed betake■ then., which ted him not nttlrt•gncntly to visit the lady at her own rouse. Finding, in the course of this renewed friendship, that the young lady was nut by any means well satisfied with hei situation iu this cotintrv, but hail a strong desire to re- lulu to that in which she first drew her breath, complainant • ri pt aced conversations and consoltations on the subject, at lengiii agreed to pay the espences of her passage back to Indm,auill lie was requested by the young lady to dispatch the business as SOUR as possible. Lie accordingly had applied to a Captain of an Indianian, aliti had agreed for her passage out ; 411 , i oil Sunday last went to intorm her of the particulars. In tile course of eon. ersation words arose about the money for the passage, the iady insisting on having it in order to pay with her own hand• ; complainant, at the same time, being de•. [ermined to settle the twitter with the captain himself. At length the young lady became so exasperated, that she struck complainant a violent blow, mid theu called upon the two other defendants. who are her servants, to assist her, which they did with great seemi ng alacrity, for they had giatu.hisu a severe pi 1111 l netting. Thi lady defendant did not deny the charge of assault;but declared seas eerensoais that complainant had. got no more than his deserts. She said he had used her very ill in the transaction he had related, which she supposed he had beey. induced to do from her refusal to live with hin► in his apart ments ever a stable, the odours of which, from the filth and nastiness auout it, were too much fur her sensitive faculties. The Magistrate told her she insist find bail, which she posi tively refused to do, and was therefore committed to Tuthill fields Bridewell, as were her two servants al►o. EITRAOHDINARY ACCIDENT.—The following extraordi nary accident occurred about S o'clock on the 14th inst. in Carmarthen:—As a drub e of oxen were passing through Sialniamstvet, one of them strayed to the Castle green, whence in his headlong course lie tell over the precipice fam ing he Midge. upon a house, of which the inhabitants were asleep in bed. It will flannelly be supposed, that the terror and alarm excited on the occasion were great. Fortunately, how. ev , :r, part or the roof fell in, while the ox was balaucing athwart a beam, exactly over a bed, in which were two chil dren, fist asleep, and who were awakened by a rafter falling upon the bed. The parents had hardly removed these pool child. en from their perilous situation, when the bean. giving way, 1.11 with its but thin upon the bed. Notwithstanding all the aim in arid bustle created by this occurrence, we are hap py to add, no personal injury was unstained on the occasion ; and what is equally remarkable, the oa does not appear to have suffered materially from his extraordinary descent.— [GLOCESTER HERALD.) The Journal J'Amiens gives the following extract from the ! indictment against Frederic the German, who is accused of having murdered Mr. Phillips. The cause is carried before the Prevotal Court of the department of the Somme '• Phillips, a fruit.merchant of London, had, for several years. employed as his agent at Dieppe the above-named Frederic Freilian gen ; Phillipo landed at Calais towards the latter end of last Septem ber, with money for his commercial transactions, and had appointed Frederic Freiliangen to meet him at the hotel of the Tete de-fireul, at Abbeville, on the 7th of October. There they met accordingly, and set oil' together the same day, between 7 and b o'clock in the evening to go to Dieppe. They travelled in a cabriolet, drawn by one horse, with which Freihatigen had come from Dieppe to Abbe ville. Arrived a little beyond the village of ?downy, they alighted, and it was there that Frediangen, having armed himself with some large flints, that were lying about, struck Phillips on the head, and fractured his skull. tie then dragged the body into the fields, about Su paces from the road side, and rifled it of money and a watch. This double crime being dub perpetraied. lie remounted the cabrio let, and arrived at the town of Ku, shoot t: o'clock in the morning, where lie alighted at the inn of Sicur Dueorry. The nest day, be tween 7 and b o'clock, he ordered sonic water to lie brought him, to wash Iris hands. still dyed with blood, and to chow some parts of his clothes. which were also bloody. Not having sufficient water to wash his riding coat, he went into a neighbouring park, and washal it in the water. On Friday the Mill of October, Freiliangen was at rested, while returning to Abbeville. They Mond upon his person a sum amounting so about i 57 francs, almost all in gold. a watch, and sonic fivers. T m here were any spots of blood in the i nterior o f the cabriolet; they found also three gloves, all hlocdy, one of which belonged to Freiliangen, and two to Phillips. Since his arrest, the wcuaal has endeavoured to destroy himself, by inflicting, with a ra• zor, three large wounds, one upon his thnwt, and two upon his left arm. In consequence of these facts, the l'rcvotalCourt has declared itself competent, as there are sufficient grounds of suspicion against Freihangen, of homicide vuluntaxily cuaunaiu4, faluw4.4 by rob bery, las public pie.". t,t , 11.411 •g.

She had already been the mother of three beau. tiful children, and in presenting to lan affectionate partner a fourth after sufteriugs of equal poignancy and duration to Mose experienced by the illustrious female to whom we have alluded, she breathed her Lest • thereby overwhelming every branch of her family in the deep est affliction. To describe the feelings of the Honourable Mr. Ca. vendish under this melancholy scene, would he impossible. lie fol io .eil the remains of Mrs. Cavendish to :het which lie supposed was to be her fast earthly mansion. namely, to a vault situate in a church yard between Neasdon and Harrow, (in which the remain:, of her father, Mr. Faidkner, had previously been depoaited,) on Friday thrtnight. It was the wish of the lion. Mr. Cavendish to have placed his unfortunate lady in the family cemetery of his ancestors in Der byshire; but this desire on his pat was abandoned, in consequence of her own request shortly previous to her death. It appears, that about smooth antecedent to her confinement, she had expressed a wish to visit the tomb of her father, to whom she was tenderly attached. II er husband, alive to the comet quences which were to be apprehended from the melancholy recent utions which such a visit must create, attempted to dissuade her loin her p . but in vain ; and at last accompanied her to the spot, where she sooner arrived than she fainted in his arms. Ile immediately removed her from the painful scene, and they returned to town. After this oceurienee it was, as if threheding her own approaching fate, she entreated her husband that whenever she diedlier body might be laid beside that of her parent, and exacted from him a promise to that effect. The church-yard of Kingsbury stands upon a hill. It is corn. pletely isolated. There are not more than two or three fares-houses in the neighbourhood. The nearest populous village is Nemdon, and that is at least half a mile distant. 'I he family vault of Mr sulk. nee is some distance from the church, and is only distinguished by two plain fiat marble slabs, surrounded by an iron rairtng. The tr.- trance to the vault is without the railing, and covered with green sward._ On the interment of the lion. Mrs. Cavendish, the turf was of *curse removed, the vault opened, and her coffin (which enclosed two others, one of lead and an inner case,) covered with rich crimson velvet, and adorned with a profusion of gilt nails, and a gilt plate, on which was inscribed her name, and the date of her death, was placed beside that of her father. After the departure of the mournful cavalcade, it was intimated to the gentleman who conducted the funeral, that only two nights pre viously the body of a Loly named Harrison, who had, died after a lin gering illness, had been torn from her grave, and bad been carried off; the miscreant,: by whom the robbery had been committed hav ing left the grave open, and the empty coffin exposed to public view. It was also added, that similar attempts had been made to obtain ether bodice ; and, therefore, it was hinted that it would be prudent to place sonic persons to prevent such an atrocious violation of the tomb of Mrs. Cavendish. The suggestion was attended to, and four men were employed to sit up at night to watch the church-yard...a stable not fat distant being assigned them as a sort of guard-house... It was most fortunate that this precaution was adopted, for on the Saturday night the guards were alarmed by the approach of a carriage which drove up to the church-yard wicket, Moing come through a lane which terminated at the shurch, and through which there was no thoroughfare. Three or four men alighted, and were opening the carriage door, when the watchmen gave an alarm, and obtaining as sistauce from the nearest farm-house, advanced to the party, and demanded the object of their visit. A Jew who was Witlllll the vehi. de said, " that gentlemen had a right to ride when they liked," and desired they might not be interrupted ; while another declared that they bad lost their way. This story, however, was nut credited, and they were conducted, carriage and all, to Neasdon, where they were searched, but nothiaig was found to aflont a ground for their deten tion. They were in mnsequenoe suffered to depart. On the mot morning, however, on a common over which they had passed in Meer way to Nen:Atom a back, a pick-axe, a shovel, a turn screw, a rip ping chisel, and other implements were found, which at once proved the object of the expedition on which the coach and its attendants were embarked. The articles in question had no doubt been thrown away to avoid suspicion. The watchmen now beau,* more vigilant, and, in consequence, a report was circulated that the Hun. Mrs. Cavendish had been buried in a silver coffin, with all ha jewels. Whether this report, ridicu lous as it was, had any effect in attracting other marauders we know not; but certain it is, that persons of suspicious appearance were sub. sequendy seen aboot the church-yard, and at last tne apprehensions that were entertained of the disinterment or the remains of the unfor tunate !ady readied the cars of her husband, who almost distracted at the thought, bent two of his own faithful servants as an additional guard to prevent eo foul a purpose. The men, assisted by the per sons previously employed, remained on duty till Friday morning se'nteght, when the lion. Mr. Cavendish, unable to endure the bare suspicion of the possibility of his care being truetrated, determined, however repugnant to the wishes of the deceased when living, to have her coffin removed to the vault of his ancestors in Derbyshire, conceiving that under the circumstances he was fully justified in tak ing such a course. Accordingly, on Friday morning a hearse, drawn by horses, and a mourning coach also drawn by ahorses, proceeded to Kingsbury church-yard. The Hon. Mr. Cavendish and his bro. ther soon afterwards arrived, and were subsequently joined by Lord Walpole, one or two other friends, and the Rev. Mr. Woodward. Having all assembled in the church, it was resolved to commence the work of exhumation. Several labourers were procured, the vault of Mr. Faulkner wasopened, said the coffin of the Hon. Mrs. Cavendish was brought forth almost unsullied. It was carried into the church and placed on vessels, where for a time it was exposed to the gaze of' the husband, whose anguish on this melancholy occasion, the sources of his grief being as it were opened afresh, may be mope easily con ceived than described. At length he was torn reluctantly from the scene of his misery—the coffin was placed in the hearse, and was driven off towards the north road. The dispntes between the North West Company and the Hudson's Bay are among the niost extraordinary transactions permitted with the authorit y of regular Governments. Mr, • Cameron, a member of the former had arrived by a vessel now in the Rivet, sent prisoner by the order of Lord Selkirk and immediately the opportunity was afforded, be dispatched a messenger to the Secretary of State's office, requiring his I beration from that confinement, which lie ailedgeti to be un authorised and unjust. 'flue ensure from the ?unlit. Office was, that Ministers had nothing to do in the affair; that it he lied suffered any tnaltreatinent under the circumstances to Si bleb his application alluded, lie might seek sod obtain re di. as tr.on those Tribunals to %hick the oftener should be properly referred. This persou, it appears, was taki n by order of Lord Selkirk, on the banks of the Red River, and thence transmitted to Hudson's flay, with the s iew to siaren der h im amenable to those laws of the British dominions, which, it is presumed, he had transgressed.
