PUGILISM. DUTCH SAM ANu TOM BELCHER. The public are apprised that the late battle be tween Mark Sans and Tats Hitcher, upon Moulsey Hurst, went for nothing, in consequence of a dis puted blow given by Sam, and that the judges to whom this important case was referred, had deter mined that it should be fought over again, withil fortnight from the date of the former battle.— The two combatants accordingly went into fresh training, and the stakes were doubled. less Belcher having been evidently a beaten man, at the time of the blow which produced the contro versy, Dutch Sara has been decidedly the favourite among the cognocenti, while a few. affeaing superior discernment, suspected that the former business was all a finesse, and that the parties were playing a deep game. Yesterday, being the day appointed for the renewed fight, and Lovel Heath, about a mile on this side of Crawley, i,t Surry, being fixed upon as the scene of AFtion, all the amateurs were in motion at an early hour. The distance from town, however, being 28 nolv, and the place not fixed upon until four o'clock on ‘Virdiltsilay, the company were not so numerous as they usually have been upon these attrAaive occasions.— The ring being formed in the usual way, with stakes and ropes, the combo:Ants entered ir ..out twenty minutes past twelve o'cl , :ck.

He kept constantly shifting and drawing him,elf back, while Sow stood up boldly, followed Isis man, and sent forward sill his blows with his whole weight. fle,ellea,however, proved hirnsellan excellent man, and well worthy of his name. He carried of as much beating as his heart could desire, or the best friends to his fame and fortune could wish him to receive, before he gave in. He was se verely punished in his head and every part of his body. Sara, on the contrary, left the ground quite fresh, and did not appear to have sustained much injury. sgzoNt) FIGIIT.-HALL AND DODHEK rY. A second battle took place, of a more bloody, though of a less scientific description ; between an ottk o man of. the name of Ha, and a young one named awierly. After a few rounds hard light ing, the palm of victory was decided in tavour of the yeah. This was considered of so little iu tere.t, that the amateurs who attended the toi our light did not think the second worth waiting for, aad accordingly left the ground.

DREADFUL l 7 RE. At hell past eleven o'clock last niglit a dreadful !•ire broke nut in the premises of Mr. Swan, Printer, No. 76, Fleet street. They are not im mediately is the street, but in a narrow Court, sitich is not a thoroughfare, extending behind the western side of Salisbury-square and Crown court. The fire broke out suddenly, in a furi ous blaze, that illuminated the whole atmos phe►e, for many miles round The engines attended with their usual promptitude from all parts of Lon don and Westminster, but from the confined shoe tion of the place, and the oarrowness of the avenue, they could not approach soffioently near to play with effect upon the burning pile,— rhe fitmes, o f. course, gained rapidly a-head, and extended them selv.o to the neighbouring btfildings. Ihe house adjoining that of Mr. Gillet, the printer. was com pletely destroyed, and that of Mr. Cove, the coal merchant, narrowly escaped a similar fate. Oa this side. however, the engines could be brought into action in the square, and, by their activity, the fire was prevented from extending further upoa that side. Mr. Gillet's house was burned down about two years ago, and has been only rebuilt within utese few months. It was at the back of Crown Court, where the omage was inaccessible to the engines, that the fiemes spread with greatest fury. by one o'clock the whole side of Crown Court was in lames; three houses were entirely consumed, and several damaged. By this time, however, the pipes were conveyed through the neighbouring houses, particularly on the side of Water-lace, and the engines began to play with considerable off a on the burning matter. The supply of wirer was, however, rather scanty. The v.hOle tierff e tts•to•h tod presented a bigot/11 scene. From the 110 e•e s v.° houses it was feared that the q s .rter between Water-lane and Salisbury sq•eare, would be entire' y consumed; of cows°, ,t 1 v4s .error and al irm, and every person in .he ighb iurhnod en leav ,, string to provide for their ,o-sona a d property. .Llothers might be seen run . •-g in every dire lion with their children, milers wese busily employed in removing their pro perty, throw/so ; their beds and other furniture out of the windows, err carrying it seal. Fleet s.reet was 1111:4 with gouds of every de.crip ,ion, piled prornisciondy on the flag-way. St. -hide's church was also opened as a eye, for their security. The 4th Regiment of London Volun reel s. and several other Corps. attended to preserve the property, and prevent pillage. At three o'clock this morning. when this paper sore , nut t.i . press, the flames had considerably sub sided, and tram the great exertions made to sup press them. were not likely to extend much farther. ,ome of the houses consumed being inhabited by w•irking peep'', probahly were tr.it insured. The circumstances under which the fire broke out were ascertained. TO TilE AUTHOR OF " CON3PIRACY DETECTED.'

On Saturday, the Bth inst. being the day on which Earl Gower, eldest son of the Marquis and Mat chicrwss of Sta fford,t came of age, the Gentle men of the county assembled here to celebrate the happy event. About 60 sat down to a sumptuous antertainmer,t, Lord RC AT in the Chair. A number of loyal, pstrio6c, and provincial toasts were given, among others : rh. " The Primo' of Wales."

Every thing went on with the utmost harmony and glee, until the approach o Sunday dissolved the mezting. The other 5 ctmpe nies of the battalion of Sutherland Volunteers were this day ent..rtained on the Links of Golspie.— The farm servants and people in the vicinity of Dun robin Castle were also bountifully supplied at Gol sp ie inn.

I was obliged to make a precipitate retreat from Reggie, the Freocb having entered the town beton I got well dear of it ; the poor Neapolitans having re ceived trom them a most confound-d drubbing. I certainly expeited this, bit coati not imagine it pos sible hr the French to follow up their vifteries sa extremely close. The b ittle took place between the I.ttle town of Milts and Monteleone, on the 27th of May, and for some hours was very doubtful ; but the French having, by a circeitous route, sent a body of troops to attack their rear, by this mations. vie, and from the cowardly conduit of the Neapo• hum cavalry, the poor fellows were obliged to run for it. We are all extremely sorry, particularly for The gallant Prince of H &sit PHILIPSTAHL. whose ravery is described to have been astonishing on this unfortunate day. The French General REOVIEIt eommanded in person, but has little to boast of by this business ; his force was superior, and by their own accounts had 500 killed, and General AllititY wa, mortally wounded. " The Neapolitans had 800 killed, as many taken prisoners, with eight light guns. Reamer' remained two days before Reggio ; but finding the castle so well defended by a small body of Neapo beans, ai:d seeing our transports in motion, with our teserve, thought it pendent to retreat to .is former position. " We have just heard of the safe arrival of the re inforcements for Alexandria. The troops there are in good health, and well 'applied : we are happy to find that nearly the whole of Lieutenant Colonel Ma cons A ID'S division are living, and well treated by the furies. Some fee: British soldiers who had straggled have been sold for slaves, and little hopes remained for their recovery." The ships for Tonningen are yet detained in the Humber. A petition horn the merchants and ship owners at that port. has been sent to the Lords of the Admiralty, requesting a cativo.; may be appointed to proceed with them direely. There has lately been plated, in the Council- Chamber, in the Town-haL', at Lancaster, a titre portrait of the late Mr. PITT, as a companion to that of the late gallant Admiral Lord Nei.sora, butts from the pencil of that rising artist, Mr. Loasoat a.
