PARISH OF LAMBETH. FARMING TUE POOR. - On Friday a general vestry of this parish was held, for the purpose of receiving the report of a committee, gilk. pointed to consider the propriety of farming the poor in their own workhouses. The subject his I), ea the source of much controversy in the neighbourhood. 'cite Rector was in the chair. The report, after stating the substance of the labours of the coninnt tee, notified, that according to the evidence of the 11;0,t eligible persons with whom they had coin nitinicated, the cost of farming she pour would be 45.1t1. each per week, and that the parish could now support them at 4s. 21i. with some trifling additions, and there fore recommended that farming Should not be resorted to. Captain 'foci( moved an amendment on the motion for adopting the rerirt, and seconded by Mr. Fall, that the farming system should be resorted to, notwithstand ing the report. Captain 'foci: complained of twelve weeks' delay in preparing a report upon so simple a proposition; and also, that the committee had restricted their inquiries to three persons, after skewing au appalling list of infirm paupers and others, who were to tie attended to, accord ing to ally COtilrACl. Mr. FALL supported the amendment, and ridiculed the idea that all proper humanity would be withdrawn from the treatment of the poor if they were farmed out. lie pointed out the necessity of economy in the parochial expenditure, and the impossibility of their attaining it well under the present system as if tile farming plan were adopted. lie enforced the difference between a man's managing a contract of his own and one for a pa rish, and thought the principle of the farming plan wiis, at first view,conclusisC in favour of abandoning the pre sent mode of providing fur paupers, whvis was almost necessarily so liable to abuse. He lamented that the prevailing system of the country, frosts its Gove ttttt rot downwards, was one which rather encouraged than re pressed abusers, and that the ciimivat was often Letter consulted than the industrious suiiject lie admitted that all the protection winch tne law conferred s hould be secured tor the pauper, but that the industrious classes, who supported the pauper, ought also to receive some consideraihni, and the lest protection which could be of them against the schemes of ft aud and idleness. A long discuisiou ensued opott the qiiestion ; after winch a division took place, and the nuulhers were— Fut me aniemlinent, 62—Against it, 94—Majority for the report, 32—wh lett number exactly currespoutled with tiie number of the select vestry. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. THORsDAY, DEC. 13.—ROBRERY Or A CLERGYMAN ♦T`f icKENMA m.—Jo.eph Sharp was indicted for stealing tour ounces of beef, value tate penny, and four ounces of bread, value one penny, the goods of the Rev. T. Vials. Mr. A.abili stilted the case for the prosecution, which strongly excited the risibility of the auditory. The prose color lie said resided near Twickenham, and the prisoner was his gardener. 'l•he prosecutor having occasion to make some search in the tool-house, in the garden, found in one of the dowers in which se. ds were kept, a slice of beef and a *lice of bread. It happened very remarkably said Mi. Arabia, that at this time the prosecutor bad a round of beef dressed in his house, and on viewing the slice is the drawer, lie thought it very much resembled the 'pond in his larder ; he accordingly took it away with him for closer examination, and on comparing it with the round, he found it ladied exactly, that lie could almost swear it was his own! The laughter here because so load, that Mr. Arubiu'► voice was lust. As soon as sileuce was restored, The Rev. T. Vitals was sworn. lie stated that the prim). net was his gttrdner, aad that having occasion to C 'gamine his tool house in the garden, he was struck by seeing a slice of beef and of bread in one of the drawers, wed hum the com plexion of the beef he immediately concluded it was bi► own; but for greater certainty he cut u siinitar slice trop the round, and on comparison he found they coiiical.cl in pal ticolar.—(Great laughter.)—lie then sh, aed it to the prisoner, who said lie had brought it from his aunt's at Cain bent ell, a here be had dined the day before. The prosecu tor said it was his. The prisoner tepiled he could out swear to a bit of beef. The piusecutoi• said to him, 1 hove coin pored it until this slice, and 1 thick I can swear they were both cut old the sa e round !—(Burst of laughter )—Ou ob taining silence, the prosecutor said the case was too ti siting to occupy the attention of the Court, and he did out a isa it to go fair I her. _ _ He was cross-examined by Mr. Alley, nod admitted, That when he found the be. f he shrived it 10 the cook, who said it was not his, being coarser ta the glatiu. Mr. Alley said. lie had the cook to prove, that the bike of beef found by the Reverend prosecutor was not his; and i.e had the prisoner's aunt in prOVM, Ihat she had given him a slice of beef similar to that take,' fr illllll. The Jury till fiood up, and said it was quite unnecessary to cast any a iillebbetl. as uothitieg had beta proved against the primii , r. The Chairman said the prisoner bad been hardly dealt Ile should art :tare been imprimaird or prosecuted un such evidence. FATAL ACCIDiNTS.—A Mr. David Brook, a car• penter, at Thorp, was on Wednesday last returning home front Leeds, oil the rail-way towards Middleton, having elevated his umbrella to orevent the sleet beating in his lace, a number of coal-waggons drawn by the loco-unitise machine came upon him unobserved, and pa‘sity, urer his lower extremities mangled his legs and aligns in so dreadful u manner, that he died in the infirm ay in the course of the same night; the deceased has left a widow and six childien. A still more terrible accident occurred at Lofthouse on the following day, by which bmr persons lost their lives. It appears that early in the muruing of that day four persons were descending 111 a curve into a coal-pit, when the rope giving way. they were all preemiLted to the bottom, and two of them killed mi the spot ; the two others, one a boy about to, and the other years of age, were removed to the Leeds General infirmary, where one of them died im mediately on his arrival, and the other within half an hour afterwards, .THE NATIONAL REGISTER GREAT BOXING MATCH, BETWEEN THE 11111sTOL MAN AND THE CELEIVIATED HICKMAN, COMMONLY CALLED OAS, TOE TWO lIIINDZED GUINEA/ A SIDE. This great great battle was for the honorary title of " Champion of England ;" it took place 65 miles from Loudon, ou the Downs on one side of Hunger ford, Berks, on the verge of . Hair s and Wilts. Our informant calculates the assemblage of persons pre sent at 25,000, hundreds of whom had a mere limited sight of the ring. Newbury was all bustle on Monday, and many who left their downy dabs, were content with repose in a hay-loft. The backer of Gas sported a new yellow bounder upon the occasion—his entry into Newbury with his fa vourite man, was hailed with acclamations, and the Tenerife was put about for Sherry in gallons.— Even the populous town of Reading was full: the cavalcade on the road presented a scene quite new to the natives. The Commissary in the wriggling drag, wedged in with the ropes and stakes, lett Newbury on Monday afternoon, after taking a drain of blue ruin with a swell pall, and the 24 feet square was roped in good stile. At 12 o'clock the Commander. in-Chief of all the milling forces arrived—his entree into the ring was hailed with enthusiasm. The ring was admirably kept, and good order prevailed on all aides. Neate appeared first, with Belcher, Gas followed soon afterwards with Isis backer, and both set to at peeling. The seconds were Belcher and Harmer for their countryman, and Spring and Shelton fin. Gas. Bettis'. was even, but Neate for choice. He was up to the mark at 14 stone ; Gas was about 12 stone.—When stripped the disparage ment in size was apparent. They shook handa to gether on their first meeting. Tll E BATTLE. Round 1. Not a voice was heard whilst the men were in atti tude. Gas made the first play and was returned upon. Some blows were exchanged. both were too eager. Gas was thrown. 2. Neate placed a counter hit upon his adversary's throat, and the right hand of Gas told upon the body. Both fall from the struggle, to the advantage of Gas. 3. A game fighting round, and rainy blows were exchanged rather in favour of Gas; he placed bis favourite right handed hit upon the throat, and Name seemed rather abroad, but both stood to each other like real good ones, and Norte was under in the tall —5 and 6 to 4 on Gas. 4. A terrible fighting round. Gas snaking the play, received a tremendous counter hit with the left hand upon the efe, which diaroccried the head, and caused a sort of paralytic affeetion.-s- Gas seemed to disregard it, and fought very manfully, but his adversary out-fought him, and set the claret flying in all dine. turns. Gas received another left-handed facer on the mouth, which nearly dropped him, but his goodness refused trifles, and he was at length thrown against liia will. 5. Gas was cleanly floored at going in, and making play-2 to 1 on Nettie. 6. This was in favour of State, and it was evident to good judges, that the ;remendous rush of Gas, which had put his former adversaries to /urn would not be received by Neate.— After a manly rally, Nutt was under in the full. 7. Neate placed hits very heavy left and right upon the con tused eye of his adversary, and also under the lug. Gas had all the worst of the round, and was floored by a left handed faccr-5 to Y on Neate. il. Gas was much distressed from the hitting he got in the last round, but undismayed, he turned to at Iris work, and threw his adversary in a struggle. 2. Neate taking the advantage °this lead, flew in upon the out and oat system, and having missed his hit, Gas floored him with the right hand. M. GAS bled profusely from the eye which was nearly closed, and Neate dropped him by nearly staving in his breast bone-4 to 1 on Neate. 11. Gas was in great distress from severe hits reeeived, and Neate was piping wo. Neate was dropped in a rally by a right handed body blow. 12. A manly fighting round, and Gas had none the worst of it; but he was thrown. 13. Gus was hit cleanly down by the left hand, and barring an accident he had no chance of winning. It W4B nut more than 1 that lie did not conic again. 14. Neate was very tired, and Gas shewed goodness in an ex • traordinary miming by hard fighting, and in failing Neate was under. 13 Neate hit his adversary down by another blow over the con tused eye, and it was all up. 16 This was the last effort of Gas, whose lion heart was yet unsubdued. He placed several blows, and at latt ha fell, nature having turned him up. 17 and 18 In these rounds Gas stood up to be slaughtered, for had Nettie been exercising his calling as a butcher, he could not not have served a west country heifer wor..e. Gas was senseless to the call of time, after having been knocked down in the 18111 round, and Neate was declared the victor without losing blood. Ges should have been taken away in the 13th round. REMARKS. Thus was the invulnerability of Gag put en one side in 24 minutes and a few seconds, and now the cognoscenti begin to find out that 14 stone must win with 12 stone at equal fighting. Neute proved him self decidedly the best boxer of thu two, and he did his business chiefly with his left hand, measuring his distance like an able tactician. Gas could not get at him, as Ne.ite was always ready to make counter hits with him. Neate is the hardest hitter our informant has seen in the ring, and the nursery of Bristol never produced a more formidable boxer. Gas shewed himself one of the best of game, and is miserably punished. The fight between Josh. Hudson and the Suffolk Champion did nut take place. The stake was drawn. ON NEATE HAVING CONQUERED THE GAS LIGHT MAN. Come hither, my Covey,•—the laurels you've won Shall with triumph and glory be Lid at your feet ; You've proved that great wonders may ever be done, And that Gas can't escape, if the workman is Neak 1 • A flash name for one of " the Fancy." .1.0..nr• -- • - -..-;•4104114.

On going into the street, she saw the deceased led along by two men ; he complained of a hurt in his head, and expressed his fears that his leg was broken. A gentle man asked how the accident happened? to which he replied, that he was driving towards home in his gig, when he discovered something amiss with mite harness, and he was standing by the side of his chaise, adjusting it, when a sta g ecoach, which was dro-ittg along at a fu rious pace, ran down both him and his vehicle, although there was room enough for the driver to pass without coining in contact with him. A little further on, wit ness saw a coach lying on its side in the middle of the road, and she also observed two females. whom she be lieved were passengers, and had fainted front the edicts of the injuries they had received ; as soon as the coach was got up , the driver mounted the box, and rode away, taking no further !mime of tile deceased.—Mr. Saunders, also livinitin the Edgeware.road, was alarmed by a noise which induced him to run into the street, with a light- • ed candle, which, however, was unfortunately blown out. lie saw the deceased lying under his own horse and gig, which were overturned, and a stage coach was forcing theni along, but the coachman in endeavonring . to get clear of the gig was also overturned. He did not know to whom the coach belonged, hut he knew the name of the ratan whom he 113 W with it ( - sod who he sins posed was the driver), to be Thom as Stratford; he was in the employ of Messrs. Kutner, proprietors of the Bayswater couches; he was not a regular coachman, _but several times was occasionally permitted to drive. —Mr. Morris a coach owner, was called, and proved that the coachman iii question was tint (as supposce) in his service, but with Airs. Knitter, st Bayswater, ta!ot acted for Mr. Cottle!, the real owner. He added, that its consequence of the present regidation of the city, wilco toconvenience was felt by the propricto s. lie produced some documents explanatory of these inconvenience*, and the Jury said they would take them into their con sideration, and come to a presentment on the subject A great number of other witnesses were examined, front whose testimony it was ascertained that the driver au:l itis companions had left a public boost: for the purpose of driving about for pleasure.—TheJury suit they w0u...1 come to no conclusion until every step had been Ja ken to prove the i.lemity of the driver, that lie might be brougbt to justice.—Nlr. Stirling observed, that he was of toe saute opinion, and the Jury accordingly adjourned till next we. k. The effect of beautiful hair on the infant countenance Is singularly pleasing.
