- -- Mr. ISIIQUOHAM wished to ask his Honourable Friend, if he had taken the trouble to analyse the com ponent parts of the company at a horse race ? The House then divided on the question for leave to brirg in the bill. The number• were.—Fer the motion It—Against it 47—Majority P.J. Mr. M. RICE moved for leave to bring in a bill to nmeud the laws relating to the office of Coroner in Ire land. Mr. COULBURN objected to the motion, and ex pressed bis opinion that the office of Coroner in Ireland should be assimilated as far as possible to the sameollice is Eng!anti, but nut invested 14 ith greater 1) ower. lifter a few words from Sir J. Newport, Mr R. Mar tin. Mr. .1. Grattan, and Mr. S. Rice, the motion was 'negatived without a diiision. Mr. C. WYNN moved that the Hunse this day resolve itself into a Committee of the whole Home, to consider the Acts of the 53d, the 54th, and the 57th of the late Kin[, relative to the East India Trade. Mr. FORBES observed, that if the Right Winour able Gentleman meant to putlntlia chipping and seamen on a level with British shippiug and seamen, be would oppose. the motion.—Agreed to. Mr. S. RICE gavenotice that be would ibis day pro pose to the House to a fix a time for submitting his pro positions relative to the Court of Exchequer in Ireland. — He was prepared to act according to the pleasure of the }louse ; and whether it seemed expedient that be should bring forward his measure on this momentous question in. this Session or the next, be was equally ready to meet the subject on his own responsibility.

The 61.4 enbj•ct which was introinced last night in tt.e House of Commons, and which ealls for any notice fr.'sn ns, was a petition which we inserted in oar paper of yesterday, from certain inhabitants of Spite Welds, cennected with THE SILK TRADE. The object of these petitioners is to prevent any alters. tion of the present law, which leaves the wages of jonr nevmen silk weavers to be regulated by 'Magistrates. 1 he law in question, which it is now proposed to repeal, is, as the petitioners allow, 50 years old, and they appear to consider its antiquity as no inconsiderable claim in ripper. of its cOnliatiance. The fact is, that it ha, been clearly ascertained, by this tune, that all laws, restrictive of wages, or regnlatiug wages by legal interference, are mischievous to one or other of the parties concerned, and highly detrimental to the public interest. Since the discovery of this fact, it has been proposed, and wifely proposed, to abolish all these laws as quickly as circum stances would permit, and to leave all questions of this description to adjust themsel Yee. Thus the master and the workman wili each have the benefit of a choice of the pers-en with a hum he deals, and the price at se hicb the dealing shall be regulated; and this arraneemen'e by inviting competition and promoting industry, will benefit the public who consume the article produced by this competition and industry. it is idle and iebairil to think of regulating wages by a stale to be se'tleti by magisterial interference, which cannot, of course, ascer tain the different degrees of skill and attention to which every naves adverts in the engaging of a ssorkman. We should sp'ak of the petition in question in very severe term', if we did not recollect that it proceeds from a class of persons whose ►ery errors and prejudices singlet to be treated with consideration, if not with ten derness. They are the working classes, whose interests P:ey themselves think, will be affected by a removal of the Regulatioos and Restrictions which it is proposed to remove by the present Bill. • But, even if they be taken on their own ground, and if it beconeeJed to them that their individual interests will suffer by the proposed mea sure, (Ices it not follow from what we have observed,- tb it l i ke throwing open of the market of skill and in dustry will benefit the public ?—And if this be correct, o•irhs not individual interests to yield to the gener,l goad? It is impossible to resist the Bill in question with any thirty like reason or argument. sod it will rise, un• oaposed by any man possessed of the cne, or calaible of aderancing, the other. It ie trite that, if it should happen that by this measure of 'general utility, a Dumb.: of persons should be thrown ou•of employ, they may be thrown upon the parish, and cr Ate an additional burthen upon its funds. This sup position is founded upon a very remote possibility; for it is highly improbable that all the persons to be affected bi this Bill, should be thrawn out of employ, and shutild e aharrass the local funds of their particular parish.-- Should it happen, however, the answer to the objection is obrioers. Parliament can and will, (in consideration of the general benefit to the public, and local injury to th- particular parish) grarit a sum in aid of the parish funds thus htireted.—ln short this Bill ought to pass ; and we trust it will pass. • RUSSIAN MARITIME CLAIMS. It seems that the Russian Covernident bare advanced 'mop Cidims, as they call them; much too extravagant and foolish to he thought of, with any seriousness, un less they were backed by a force much greeter than airy which es en Russia can produce Az:tinst tin different Pow ers, whose interests would be injured by those Claims.— They refer principally to her naval iloniinio3. These said Claims, however, be they well founded or not, gave rise to a curious con ion last ni , ht between Sir James Macintosh and 3lr. Canning. Sir James begged to ask his "'light lion. Friend." whether these Cimuis had not advanced beyond the hounds of theory; whe ther Russian vessels of war lied not been sent to warn off those of other Nations from cruising.on the waters be tween Nootka Sound and Japan ; whether any thing had been done by our Government in consequence ; am' whether any negotiation was pending on the subject.— In answer to this question of many Members, Mr. Can ning begged to inform " his lion.end teamed Frie.l4l," that Government had received no information of the on tura alluded to;but theirs protest formerly presented against torir Claims bad . been renewed,_ that a negotiation was pending on the subject ; and that instruct:ups bad been forwarded to our Ambassador, for the purpose of the negociation, in the full spirit of that protest. THE STATESMAN The subject itself, is too trifling to deserve any serious attention, notwithstanding the erre', and indeed, awfnl tone and manner of the " hunarrable and learned friend ;" though there appears some reason to believe, that the question and answer had been previously deter mined upon between the two " Friend*." It is 'spier to be forgotten that these,atonre silly and audarious,Claims, are advanced by Alexander, who was followed and cheered by our mobs in 1814, and who is a Subscriber, to our Bible and Missionary Societies. • CANDLE TAX. _ _ _ Mr. Sykes, in a eery sens:lile speech, moved for the Repeal of the Crnille 'Tax. His case rested on four propositions: that the Tax mas comparatively unpro ductive, the net Receipt falling much short of ,the gross Receipt ; the difference being . received by assessors, Col lectors, inspectors, and vermin of a similar description; that it fell upon the poor who were the principal Consu mers of Tallow Cendles ; that of these, it fell princi. pally upon the labouring poor, and that it is most vex atious and oppressive in its collection. These propo sitions, he, in our opinion, abundantly proved ; and purposed that the money which might he wanted in the place of that derived from this Tar should be t 'ken from overgrown salaries and unmerited pensions. This sees welting the tender string. 'f he Chancelliir of the r.x chequer opposed the motion; and nine of the leading oppqm;tion would support Mr. Sykes, whose alotion, in consequence fell to the ground. CRIMINAL CODE. ....... _ Then came, as we had predicted, the r'doiibtable Sir James itlacintosh,t he " honourable and learned Friend" of Mr. Canning o the Gentleman who could not say a syllable in support of Mr. Sykes Motion for taking 09 . e Tax which pressed upon the poor. He made a long, frothy, declamatory speech for the purpose of convinc ing the House that " the Criminal Code ought to be softened." He particularly objected to the hanging of rForgers, and other Felons, whose particular description he promises on a future occasion, and he proposes that people ho kill themselves; being then of sound mind, ' shall not he buried in the cross roads. With regard to the latter practice, we are far from supporting it. It is ' barbarous, wanton, and cruel. But is it worth two hours talk ?—At bast, is it worth two hours talk,when the living are exposed to the punishment of BANISH MENT, and the other rrovisions of the .si.r Acts? We shall not waste ourselves upon this subject. It is a perfect mockery ; and it will be discontirweil lithe pub lie will treat it as it deserves, and leave Sir James Ilac -1 intosh and the Quakers to settle toe Balance of Noun nity between them. We Lave received titisiing by Express, Paris pa rrs of Tuesday. The Moniteur repeats, as " news from the army," an account dated Lerma, May 13, similar to the Telegraphic Despatch we inserted yesterday, of the entrance qf the Duke de Reggio into Valladolid. It gives also copies of the alleged intercepted letters, al luded to in that despatch, to shew the neakness of the Constitettionalists. According to the same authority Morino was, on the 4th of May, at Leon, sith 1:2C0 men, intend:fig to form the army of reserve. About the same number of Constitutionalists, it is stated, is at Santa Maria de la 'Mere, and about 900 between Bai- Irv° and Cahanillos. The Gazette de France givrs de talrs from Poycerda, dated the 10. h of May, of a 'novenae''', of abide we had heard before, made by the French troops against the corps of Mina ; but atmonnces nothing of a recent date. '1 he mancenvres of Mina ap pear to sex the jlurnalists of Paris, as much as the lead ers of Moncey'• army. "If Mina and Llohera‘," say they, " would but light, the Clair would be soon de cided." German papers have come to bawl this morning, lint they contain little news of importance. Mr. Wynn, the English Minister in Switzerland. has presented his letter) of rect.!, and Mr. Vaughan, his successor, has presented hit credentials to the President of the Diet. The opening of the Diet will take place on the 7th of July. The aLcounts from Constantinople, are of the 21st ult., but ere silent as to any steps for opening the campaign egalust the Mores. The Greeks. on the other hand, are making great naval prepara tions and are sanguine in their expectations of success, es they calculate of having no vesselm to contend with above frigates of a second rate. They have become so bold, that some of their schooners cruise in the Gulf of Smyrna, and even near the fort that defends the entrance of the Ro ads.

Greet right for the Championship. and also for 200 Mote reign.s a side, hotween Bentse and NBATE, wituin a mile and a half of triJover, 63 miles from the Metropolis, in a field opposite the King and Queen, on the Loodon-eoad, on Tuesday last. --~-- (PURT/fisß PARTICULARS.) At peep of day on Monday morning the roads from i3lou easter, Newbury, Winchester, Bristol, Southampton. and .Loodon, were covered with vehicles of every description Ailed wi.h Amateurs, rattli .g along to arrive in time at the scene of attrition. By five o'clock in the afternoon not a bed could be procured at Andover; and both men and prods were obliged to'prit up with any shetter'that could be got for them. The little towns and villages contiguous to Andover, were equally overflowing with company. 'Moorlands of kids were on the road all night. The situation wh-re the battle took place was delightfully picturesque. A hill at the back of the field, formed an Amphitheatre, and upwards of thirty thousand spectators had a fine view of the fight, and emongst them many women. So many swells were never before seen round the ring; which, under the super intendence of Mr. Jackson, was excellent. At one o'clock Neste, arm-in-arm wish his Backer and Belcher, followed by 'tanner, threw up his hat in the ring amidst thunders of applause. About ten minutes afterwards, Spring. with his Backer and Painter, appeared, Cribb waiting for them. Spring very coolly walked up to the ropes, and dropped his beaver within them. He thelt shook hands with Neate. say ing, •• I hope you are well." " I am very well, I thank you, I hope you are." 'Spring. was rather the favourite, for choice, on the ground, and decidedly the best in con dition. Round 1. The interesting moment bad now arrived; all doubts and fears as to a fight were at an end ; and the as piring daring ambition of Spring to obtain the Championship was about to be put to the test. The hands had also been crossed end shaken together in token that no animosity ex isted between the parties. Glory hovered over their heads —Victory was alike in view ; and the heroes wooing her smiles were stripped for action. To describe the intense interest pourtrayed by this vast assemblage on Neale and Spring placing themse yes in attitude is impossible. The sight was beautiful. Spring, cool, collected, firm, and con fident, appeared at the scratch to meet his renowned and formidable opponent, who had obtained so much notoriety by his conquest over the late terrific line-light men. Neste, equally confident—nay, more, if his countenance bespoke his mind, thinking it presumption for any boxer on the list to dispute his right to the enviable title of Champion, !hewed at the mark ready to dismiss his adversary by one hit for the temetity he had thus shown. A long pause of two mi nutes occurred in looking at each other—dodging about for two minutes loeger—Spring let Ay with his left hand, but no mischief was done. Neste missed the body of his opponent with his right band. Another long pause. Neste aimed a tremendous blow with his right hand, which Spring stopped in great style.—(App.ause from all parts of the ring.)-4 pause. Nerve again attempted his favourite slaughtering liit, which Spring parried, smiling and nodding at his oppo nent.—(Lmd shouts of approbation from the spectators.)— Spring put down his hands, but Neste did not avail himself of this chance. Spting immediately made himself up in one of the finest attitudes for administering punishment ever witnessed, and endeavoured to plant a hit with his right 11...nd, which Neste slopped in the most scientific manner.— (The Bristolians shouting in turn, " Bravo. Neale !" and, in fart, applause from all parts of the ring.)—Neate missed the bode of Spring with his left hand. Spring row w.nt to work, sonic blows were exchanged. but Spring's hits were so severe upon his opponent's nob that he turned round. They followed each other over the ring, when Spring. in re treating from some well-meant heavy blows, got into a cor ner close against the stake—',."Ndw ; s the time!" says Tom Belcher)—but the defensive position of Spring was so ex ce lent, that he was not to be got at without great danger to Neate; which the latter perceiving, did not go near enough to do any thing like terrific execution. Spring fought hie way out a /a Randall ; a close ensued, when Neste had nearly got Spring off his legs; but In struggling for the throw, Spring, with the utntest dexterity. turned Neale over in his arms, sent him on the ground, falling upon him. Be tween nine and tan minutes had elapsed.—Great shouting, and 7 to 4 on Spting. 2. Pause. Spring stood as firm as a rock, Neate not be ing able to get at him. The latter, however, endeavoured to plant a hit, but it fell short ; when Spring with his right hind put in so severe a blow over Neate 's eyes, that the cla ret followed it instantly. This touch confused the Bristol hero a little; but he tried to ;give his opponent a heavy blow, which fell short ; and Spring, in return, gave him so sharps nobber, that Neate looked round, and was nearly go ing down.—(Disapprobation.)—The letter c .llected himself together, and shelved fight ; when Spring tought his way in to a close, fibbed Neste with the utmost ease, and sent him down. The applause here was titre a roar of artillery,-2 to 1, and " Neate has no chance—it's all up with him." 3. Neste stopped cleverly, and laughed at Spring. In a close both down, Neale undermost. (" Well done, Node! from his friends.) 4. !zing pause. Neale could not gat an opening ;in fact, he could not remove the guard of Spring. Neale endeavour ed to plant a severe blow, which Spring stopped with et most ease. (Great app'ause ; and " you will break hit heart, Tom, If you go on that way.")—Neste missed the bo dy of Spring with his left hand.—(Laughing, and " It's of no use !" from the crowd.) Spring planted some hits, and in struggling fur the throw, Neale experienced a tremendous fall, edged to the whole weight of Spring on his body. b. It was evident to every disinterested spectator. that Neate hail not a shadow of chance—his nose bleeding and his fare punished. He received a hit and was going down, when Spring added another leery on his back. The umpires call ed out to Belcher, and told him " it was a stand-up fight ; and Neate must take care what he was about." " I assure you, Gentlemen," replied Mr. Jackson, " Neate received a blow." Here Martin offered, in a very loud manner, that be would bet 10001. to ICOI. on Spring. 6. Neate piping, his tongue out of his mouth, while on the contrary Swing was able to fl ;ht for a day, hr compari son. Norte hit short with his left hand; but in turn he Rapt several blows, till he went dawn. 7. Although it was now a guinea to a shllling, and no chance of losing. yet Spring was as careful as if he had had a giant before him. The latter got nway from a blow.— " We can fight fora week in that manner," said Belcher.— " Yes," replied Painter, " bat we have got the 'caner il." Neste received a severe hit on his head, and he fell down on his knees. The shouts of Joy from the partisans of Spring, and the roars of approbation from the si relators in general, beggared description. b. Neste appeared at the scratch, hut it was of no use ; in it short time was again hit down. When time was called, Neate got up and shook hands with Spring, and said his arm was broken, and he could not tight any more. The battle was at an end in 37 obittutes. RRMARICS.—The fine fighting of Spring " laughed to scorn" all the " talked of" tremendous hitting of his oppo nent. In truth Neater could not plant a single effective hit. In the fourth round, Neat. asserts his aria received a serious injury, end one of the small bones was broken. We are sorry for this accident; but we have no liesdation in assert ing, that Spring had won the battle before it occurred. Spring has also removed the UM from his character, that he could not make a dent in a pound of butter ! It cannot be denied that Spring very soon made a hole in his oppo nent's head ! ! and from the conduct of the latter, It should seem, that " one pill was a dose." Spring called oa Neale after the battle, whom he found in bed, and his arm put to rights by a surgeon. The la ter said, " 1 out not beaten, but lost the battle by the accidont." Spring very generow ly made Neale a preseat of teo pounds. Spring arrived in lowa last night. and received the Marmite and s:niles attend ant on victory from the populace in all the towns through millets Impasse& He has a slight black mare on his l e f t eie; his arm was in a sling, oars of the bodes tat his right hand having received an injury. We have heard from good authority, upon whirl: we can place reliance, that the benevolent Mrs. Fry called on Nee at Marlborough, on Thursday, and in ide most powerful lippral to him to prevent his fighting, and she even offered him 5001. to pay his expenses, for feits, but /at replied that he was too deeply pledg ed to recede; though. it is said, that he promised her that this should be his list battle.—(Bath and Chelien. ha* Chron. of Tutiday) • TITHE' IN sr.
