.55R TETE BOXING MAIM Ni• AR MARGATE. It •has been the custom cir a new years past to' amuse the men of Kent with a figat on their coast; and in this instance, two men. Maher on the list than usually exhibit in this part, were pitted.— Harry. Harmer, of the Belcher school, a than of first-tate science : and Ford, whose former exhibitions ranked hint amongst the more for midable on the The spot selected was in the meadow of a Kentish yeoman, a mile to the eastward of St. sichiods. at few Miler. 4901 Murgate. The va snots grotesque vehicles of ;Vargate, drawn by doeloes a mules. and punka, were in requisition early on Monday ; no.I the com batants having arrived on the ground, they set-to about twelve o'clock. The seconds were Joe Ward and Bristol Hall for Harmer; and T. Junes - and J. Clark for Ford. Betting current 11 to a oil Harmer. Round 1. flamer made play by slusl.mig hits right and, left ; but the • right wily told slightly, Ford haviag parried the left, and, returned . with about the sa u te force'. They closed. and both went down. Bet ting got down to 5 to 4, but slack, it being evident that Harmer woula not be able to plant his fa% ourix hits on his antagonist's head, as he had famerly done with Maltby. 2. Both rallied, and some dstermined fighting took place. ratite favour of hod, w h o had ;avoided hi•autagonia's right band at coin lag in. In a trial of strength both fell, but Ford had the best of the round upon the whole, and also the Mr. 4. Harmer made his right-handed hit on Ford's forehead, which told severely. Ford, however, bored upon him, to get to in fighting, and he succeeded in doing so, after other blows; but he had the worst .el the round, and wait throw!). Betting as at the commencement. 4. Ford began to show bad traioing. Ile was open mouthed and sparring. for wind. Harmer, however, could not easily get at him. A t. emendotts right-handed blow on Ford's body was placed, and it was tel smartly on Ili:nixes head.—': to 1 nit Harmer. r. Aaother rally aillowed, coma:owed by Ford, who kept lotting regardless of his own pet soil, end execution aas done on both sides, and Ford was thrown. At this time an tirmi•tice would have been ac ceptable to both, they has lug become much fatigued. There were a number of other rounds, all favourable to Harmer, and in the loth Harmer got his antagonist against the ropes, in a Situ ation %% - here a hit tun-t have ended the battle ; hut having so much of it, he walked Mr, and left him to go dean of his own accord: This. act of bravely sod coolness was much applauded.—Thirteen other )(mods were fought. when Harmer was announead the victor. Rs to Alt K S.-- flaanar's certain:- resembled that of James lit Icier, his cousin, more than any other pngiLst. Like Lim he has a happy :Hack of bobbing his head on one ride to avGitl a blow, as • xemplitied many tunes in this combat. Besides, although mare shalt Foul's weight, he has the gilt of hitting ns quick and as hard as ally pugilis' of the day, and his length ensiled him to stand over his antag onist. The only plan Ford had to I.llow, was to get in and tight ; and when he was enabled so to do, he had the best af it. Ford is improved in ti a liting, but his condition was evidently bad in the third round. Ile aistained most injury in body hits. Ile was bled on the grimed. The , carabatfasted 35 minutes, and the whiner would receive 35 guineas. There was a second fight between a Lar.cashirc man of the nume of Painter, and an Iliberniao called Eviny. P-inter is a lisle stout young fellaw, of mote Item 13 stone ; and L'ony, List front Kilkenoy, was not inaptly compared to a maypole. He is more titan six feet,- with a bug sallow visage, with body cotresponding, and appearances indi cated that he would cut a better figure at devouring a beef-steak than at fighting.—Gregson, in this instance, became a second to Painter, and Joe Ward and Hall seconded Tony. To the astonishment of the ring, who treated the Hiternian's attempt to fight as farcical, a must coura geous battle was fouald. The Hibernian, whota no one knew, dis played science which would not disgrace a CI ib, and his gilt of hitting was great. Painter was kept bleeding f. inn every organ of the head front the first, which battled sponge and cold ,water. lle resembled a Kentish cherry, and yet his stalk, through the blood, compared with the grave mug of Pat. formed a striking and ludicrous contrast.--Na ture deserted L'ainy . after fighting forty ',names. Painter has but little kuow!edge of fighting, but his blows on the thin carcase of Put, the latter end of the battle, were very forcible. A handsome collection took place for the vanquished .--After the sports of the day, 2 cold collation was given to the pi incipal amateur, by Mr. Curling, a gentle- Man 15 Lo:rcsides near the sot.

Mr. Alley, for the defendants, contended, that the amusrments exhibited at the Pantheon were not a performance of the Drama, and that the slagistrates had a con current power to licence with the Lord Chamberlain.

A fi re broke ont on Sunday mot :ling, between eight and nine o'clock, at the Salt's Farm-yard, belonging to about eight miles to the westward of Brighton. It was discos ered to proceed from the barn, in which it is said, a man had been snic king, and, in a few moments, communicated to the adjoining build , jugs and stack-yard, and continued to rage with great fury for a considerable time. !'hr( c barns, sheds, and onl-buildiegs, logohtl with about LOO load of sheaves, 30 load of threshed whe..t, besides other corn, were totally consented. The damage is estimated at upwards of 40G01. Fortunately the horses and oxen were all pre served. It is miraculous that the farmAtonse should have escaped, as the flames from the blazing ricks, at many interval%, seemed completely to envelope it. In the orchard or garden, the apples are said to have been literally roasted on the botighs„ and malty were gathered and eaten in that state.—A contemporary who seems to doubt the truth of this latter assertion, says, •' We have since heard, that several unfortunate geese were boiled as they were swimming in the fdrin-yard pond and Immediately eaten with the apple sauce !" On the 11th inst. an inquest was held at the palish of Morvali, near Penzance, by Pearce Rogers, E —sq. one of the Coroners for the county of Cornwall, on the body of a young woman, of about 'l5 years tit age. It api.eared in evidence, that the unfortunate young woman had gone to a druggist at Penzance, and applied for arsenic to pcison rats, and she being a person of respectable appearance. he had no °bite lion to selling it to her, and accordingly delivered her five drachms. She returned, and finding her mother at tea, tultl her she kad put chased some powders for a pain in her stomach, and immediately poured the arsenic into a cup of tea, which she drauk utT at once.
