JUNE NO. BOXING. The match between Turner and Cyrus Davis, from Bristol, was decided nn Friday, on Walingha►n Green, about eight milts from Croydon, from whence Randal and Parish were routed by a Magistrate. The wetness of the morning was a drawback upon the sport, but there was a chain of " drags," from the Lord's barouche to the Westminster cabbage cart, filled Italia dozen deep. the many miles. The " Commissary" did his work early in the morniug, and on the arrival of the great Captain of the mil ling forces, the men peeled in fine condition. Tur ner, although defeated by Randal, got fresh laurels by that defeat, after having " shelved" the gallant scroggins in vulnerability. Davis beat Belasco on the day that Neate beat Oliver, and be was accounted the best that could be had from the Bristol nursery, which produced a Chicken, a Cribb, and others, the best men of their days.—Davis sported the Belcher " (ogle" against the blue bird's-eye, which were fastened to the post of a 24 feet square.—Cribb and Randal seconded Turner, and Belcher cad 1.

THE NATIONAL REGISTER 3l . rterions occurrence in the Borough.—On Sa. ' turtlay morning last Mrs. Kirby went to Mr. King, one of the parish officers of Woolwich, (to which she belonged), who gave her Qs., and sent a letter to her husband, requesting him to bring his family down to the poor-house as soot. as possible. Next morning (Sunday) they left their lodgings in Bull-court, and all, except one of the children, a girl 9 years old, started Jim the avowed purpose of proceeding direct to Woolwich. However, about dusk the same evening, the man returned home, without either the woman or the children, anti entered his lodgincv if he wished to escape observation; but near the ,door he was met by Mr. Mooney, the landlord, aho asked what had become of 1 is wife and the children. Atter a pause he said, that he had stopped at a pub lic.house on the road to have 'toile pint of porter, and that they had gone onwards towards Woolwich, but as he could not afterwards come up with them, ho did not think proper to follow them. Early on Monday Kirby went into the country to seek for employment, but returned in the course of the day, and in a conversation with a man in the house, ex pressed some fear of going to Woolwich, for he said, they would certainly do something to him. On Tuesday he cut his throat. After he bad been con veyed to St. Thomas's Hospital, Kinsey, the consta ble, went to Woolwich to see Mr. King, from whom he learned that neither the woman nor the children had arrived these ; sad a person was immediately despatched from NVoolwich, to bring the remaining chill there to be taken care of. Mts. Kirby, at her departure, is supposed to have had about is in her possession, a sum too little to take her and the chil dren any dhaance ; and not the slightest trace of her could be discovered up to 4 o'clock on Thursday. Kirby is in the licsmital, and hopes are entertained of his recovery. He is silent generally with regard to Isis wife and children.

MEETING ON 11 UN SLET-NOO ire•ir PreVIONS invita tions for that purpose having been circulated through the manuficturing districts in Yorkshire, a most nu merous assemblage of unemployed workmen int.t . on• Monday on l lutislet-moor, near Leetls. A stage for the speakers had been previously erected, and several persons addressol the meeting. The great theme dwelt upon was the necessity- of Parliamentary ra - form. It was near ten o'clock at night before the assemblage dispersed, atler passing several resoln tions us preliminary to a " Declaration to be signed by all who are determined not to become passive jams," and to be trunsniitted to the Speaker of the Houst; of Commons " for the information of all whom it may concern." A resolution was passed W meet tsain an the :Anne moor on Monday. 199 The weavers at Thankerton have pablished some resolutions respecting their trade which appear to us very sensible. They attribute the present deplora ble stagnation in a great measure to " the facilities afforded to every plunderer to enter the trade, and the easy terms of apprenticeships, that have over stocked, and will ultimately ruin, the weaving busi ness, if not timely checked ;" and they accordingly propose to enter into joint measures to eurnaterert those evils. We should have given a place to the resolutions had they come in time. It is hinted that the Cabinet in Washington have hopes that the Treaty will not be ratified by King Ferdinand ; that, since its signature and ratifica tion, a discovery has been made, that, during the negotiation, the Spanish King had sJld ei . et mils lions of acres of the public lands of the Fisridas, which sale is guaranteed by the treaty. being made prior to Jan. 1818. ft has been further !minted, that, on the discovery of the above ilia, Don Onis, the crafty negotiator, had been called upon by Mr. Adams for m explanation of such minima, and that [ the Don had evaded all explmumation b 6 remurking, that a bargain was a bargain ; that the treaty was • intended to cover all soles , previous to the above date, known or unknown ; and that the purchasers of the land did not make him a confidant of their secrets. And thirdly, it is hinted, that the. 'vessel]. ger that has been sent to Spain, since the treaty hearer embarked, liastlespatabes which relate to, this important discovery. ANOTHER CHILD STOLEN. On Friday Nfr. Mortimer Taylor, of No. 24, Broad -street, St Giles's, sent a little girl about 11 years of age, to bring two of his children from school, at the saute time she took in her arms a fine male infant, two months old. On returning home she came through Soho ;square, and met a woman of decent appearance, who for the last three weeks frequently accosted the girl, and gave her and the children money. She requested the girl to walk with her, and took hem; far as Rathbone-place, where she sent her into Mrs. Wright's, a grocer's shop, at the corner, for sixpenny worth of figs, and told her she would take care of the children till her return. The unsuspecting girl acceded to her request, gave her the infant, and went into the shop ; the woman -gave the other children half pence to follow their nurse, which they did, and on the girl's return she found the woman had gone away with the infant. This eatraordinnry case remains wrapped in thesanse mystery as when the child was first taken;.not. the least clue has yet presented itself whete a discovery of the woman can be made. Ur.. Mortimer, the father of the infant, has used' the most indefatigable exertions, the Officers of St. Giles's parish have offered a reward, awl notice has beet' given to all the Polka Officers without efDet. It is feared that, front the very tender age of the infant, every day will render. it more difficult to identify. • A shepherd residing in the neighbourhood of Vel. letri, i.• Italy, was seized with a hydrophobia, its consequence of being bitten by one of his goats. The Italian journal which mentions this fact, uddc, that the gout had been in the same manner bitten by a viper. We doubt whether the poison of ser pents can occasion this frightful malady. It is said that the shepherd drank and ate in his accustomed manner daring his illness a thing which never hap pens in cases of hydrophobia. A shepherd in the South of Scotland, a few weeks ago, in taking his usual rounds amongst ha flock was followed by one of his master's greyhounds ; having accidentally started a bare, it was instantly pursued by the greyhound, as well as his own sheep dog. Daring the chime, his dog perceiving at some distance asheeplaid wrong, to his no small surprise left the pursuit, and having assisted the sheep from its perilous situation, he instantly rejoined the pur suit, and: came in at the death of poor puss. LLGIFT 'BRPAIL—It is shocking to think, during these hard times when the lower orders of gaiety find tm much difficulty in obtaining the comma necessaries of life, that during last week no fewer than nine convictions for selling bread short of standard weight took place at she Public Office, Union-Hall.—Several of tha quarter peck loaves were as much as sever' ounces deficient. Some of the delinquents were fiatd 10s. per ounce, and none less than 5 , 4. The whole of the deficiency in the above convictions amounted to 221 ounces. A few days since, as Mr Cartcw, of Margate, and some were emoting their pipes in a room exposed to the sun, their attention w•as drawn to the table by some smote proceeding from the green cloth by w hich it was covered, and on examination it proved to be on fire: a decanterof water standing On the taldo, acting as a lens, had concentrated tho rays of the sun, and actually set the cloth in a I.lare, and there is little doubt if there had been no one present, but that further mischief would have en sued. The party afterwards availed themselves of this curious discover:: to light their pilles!
