JUNE 21. BOXING. The match between Turner and Cyrus Davis, from Bristol, Avils decided on Friday, on Walingham ;reen, about eight miles from Croydon, from whence Randal an.i Parish were routed by a Magistrate. The wetness of the maiming was a drawback upon the sport, but there was a chain of " drags," from the Lord's barouche to time Westminster cabbage cart, filled halfa deem deep. for ti n ny miles. The " Commissary" did his work earl• in the morning, and on the arrival of the great Captain of the mil ling threes, 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 he 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 " fogle" against the blue bird's-eye, which were fastened to the post of a 24 feet square.—Cribb and Randal seconded Turner, and Belcher and Harmer, Davis. Betting even, but Davis had rather the turn. ROUNDS. 1.

Both men received heavy punishment. and although Davis is not of tie hest breed nu more than ?smite, yet his right lr.nd is so very heavy that the battle never was safe unit it oils over. De is iiiferior to all Cie light weights of the present day, both in goodness and in science, and he has an incurable t 01l of letting an adversary know by a motion before hitting when the right hand is coming. Turner is One of the best men in England, and punishment led him on to gallant play. tie 'Willies an nilrersary in workman-like manner, ard is alwri)s cool and collected. The battle lasted :lb minutes. Ater the hattle between Turner and Cyrus Davis, there was another desperate littlit between Holt and David Hudson. They fought 89 room,s with various success. Iti the last round Holt continued to tight, but he could not stand i.p to receive tie hitting of Hudson, and went down repeatedly ; w hilt, on Ilse contrary, Hudson seemed to he getting fresher, awl he often mu and jumped to get in at Ilolt.

This she did, but, on her return to the room, she discovered that tit.. prisoner had taken a new pair of boos from one corner, and packed them up in his own bundle ; she taxed hint with the theft, on which he was very impudent, and desired her to send for an officer. The prisoner, when called on for his defence, said, he had been 13 years an officer in the navy, and his name was Elouverie. He added, that he possessed consider. tole nroperty in the funds.

Comtination among Journeymen.—Mr. Jones, iron founder, of lci•sv Gravel-lace, Southwark, appeared at the Office, sod complained against several of Ins join.- oilmen, who were brought up under a warrant for having left their work unfinished, much to his detri ment. Mr. Jones also slated, that there was a general disposition among, the journeymen to harass the mash is, although there was at present work for Mem. The Ma gistrate suggested to Mr. Jones his suffering the uten to morn to their work, in place of committing them to pri , on. Mr. Jones agreed to the proposal, and the men promised to comply with the decision, the warrant being left op ,i t . A journeyman hatter, lately in the employ of Mr. Tortiev, hatter, of St. °lave's, was brought to the Oilier, charged with leaving his master without finishing his work.

Rai 1110eriour occurrence in the Boron1.)1.—On Sa. turday morning last Mrs. Kirby went to Mr. King, one of the parish officers of Wolwich, (to which she belonged), who gave her .25., and sent a letter to her husband, requesting him to bring his family down to the parr-house as soon as possible. Next morning (Sunday) they left their lodgings in Bull-court. and all, excein one of the children, a girl 9 years old, started for 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, and entered his lodgings as if he wished to escape observation ; but near the door he was met by Mr. Mooney, the landlord, who asked what had become of his wife and the children. Atter a pause he said, that he had stopped at a pub lic house on the road to have half a pint of porter, and teat they had gone onwards towards Woolwich, but as he could not afterwards come up with them, he did rot think proper to follow them. Early on Monday Kirby went into the country to seek tier 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 had been con veyed to St. 1 homas'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 there ; and a person was immediately despatched from Woolwich, to bring the remaining child there to be taken care ot: Mrs. Kirby, at her departure, is supposed to have had about is in her possession, a sum too litt:e to take her and the chil dren any distance ; and nut the slightest truce of her could be discovered up to • o'clock on Thursday. Kirby is in the hospital, and hopes arc entertained of his recovery. He is silent generally with regard o his wife and hildren. M EETING ON HoNsLET-moost.—Previous invita Lions for that purpose having been circulated through the manufacturing districts in Yorkshire, a most nu merous assemblage of unemployed workmen met on Monday on Hunslet moor, near Leeds. A stage for the speakers had been previously erected, and several persons addressed the meeting. The great theme dwelt upon was the necessity of rifriiatir.Altary re form. It was near ten '.'clock at night bethre the asactubbrge dhpersed, after paving several resolo- Lions as preliminary to a " I - Kelaration to be signed by nll who are determined not to become pas... - itr altars," and to be transteitted to the Speaker of the House of Commons " for the information of all whom it may concern." A resolution was pats;:d to wet). again on the same meur on MAlay. 199 The weavers at Thankerton have published 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 apprentieeships. that h tie over stocked, and will ultimately ruin. the weaving bust. ness, if not timely checked;" and they accordingly propose to enter into joint measures to counteract those evils. We should have given s place to the resolutions had they come in time. It is hinted that the Cabinet in Washiegton have hopes that the Treaty will not be ratified by King Ferdinand ; that, since its signature and ratlike tiun, a discovery has been made, that, during the negotiation, the Spanish King had sold eight mil ' lions of acres of the public lands of the. Ploridas, which sale is gua.anteed by the treaty, being made prior to Jan. ISIS. It has been tUrther hinted, that, on the discover, of the above Eta, Don Onis, the crafty negotiator, had been called upon by Mr. Adams for an explanation of such conduct, and that the Don had evaded all explanation by remarking, that a bargain was a bargain ; that the treaty was intended to cover all sales previous to the above date, known or unknown ; and that the purchasers of the land did not make hen a confidant of their secrets. And thirdly, it is hinted, that the messen ger that has been sent to Spain, since the treaty bearer embarked, has despatches which relate to this important discovery. ANOTHER CHILD STOLEN. On Friday Mr. 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, :it the same 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 her as far as Rathbone-place, where she sent her into Mrs. _Wright's, a grocer's shop, at the corner, for six penny wort h 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 extraordinary case remains wrapped in the same mystery as when the child was first taken ; not the least clue has yet presented itself where a discovery of the woman can be made. Mr. Mortimer, the father of the infant, has u-ed the most indefatigable exertions, the Officers of St. Giles's parish have offered a reward, and notice: has been given to all the Police Officers without effect. It is feared that, from the very tender age of the infant, every day wilt render it more difficult to identify. A shepherd residing in the neighbourhood of V e l. letri, in Italy, was seized with a hydrophobia, in consequence of being bitten by one of his goats. The Italian journal which mentions this fact, adds, that the goat had been in the same manner bitten by a viper. We doubt whether the poison of ser pents can occasion this frig:etful malady. It is and that the shepherd drank and ate in his uccustomed manner during 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 among , t !its flock was tiollowed by one of his master', ;1 - eyittninds ; having accidentally started a hare, it was instantly pursued by the greyhound, as well as his own silt r a g dog During the chace, his dog perceiving at some distance a sheep laid wrong, to his no small rp Ise left the pursuit, and having assisted the sheep then its perilous situation, be instantly rejoiced the pur suit, and came in at the death of poor puss. LIGHT BREAD.-It is shocking to think, during these hard times when the lower orders of so.ictv find so much difficulty in obtaining the common necessaries of life, that daring best week no fewer than nine convictions for selling bread short t.f standard weight took place at the Public °thee, Union-Hall.--Several of the quarter peck loaves were as much as seven mulcts deficient Some of the tislinquents were fined 10s. per ounce, and none less than ss. The whole of the tleficieucy is the above convictions amounted to 2.2.2 ounces. A few days since, as Mr Cartew, of hi:agate, anti some frie:.ds, were smoking their pipes in a room exposed to the sun, their attention was drawn to the tulle by some smoke proceeding from the green cluth by which it was covered, and on examination it proved to bz on tire: a decanter of water standing on the table, acting as a lens, hail etmeentrated the rays of the sun, and actually set the cloth in a blaze, and there is little doubt it' th.ae had been no one present, but that further mischief would have en sued. The party afterwards availed themselves ut' this curious diA.oyery to 1101 their pipes! % • • \ lt • •
