The fight hilwerii these two pugilistic heroes, which had excited vo much expectation in the gym nastic world, took ,dart. on Salinity. Coothoriie, about three miler f Crawley, in Susvex,and thirty one from London, was the place avvigord for the resulezvouv of the belligerent parties, a mituaton alreuly rriiderriri ctlehi Irma by the gallant stand mule by Arlolioraux tigaiiivt the renowned Cribb— end at no great 111.tairce from the scene of Belcher's triumph over Silverihorne. The tern combatants are of high repute in the forty. Turner's first public contest was with Cur tis, in which he proved victor, and his atitagonie, who was carried senseless out of the ring, died slittit;y alter from the excessive heating hr received. In consequence of that circumstance, Turner was tried for, and convicted of, manslaughter. His imprisonment, however, was of but short duration, and upon once more emerging into the world, he returned to his former habits. His next antagooist was Scroggins, who at that time was the terror of the prize ring, from the circumstance of his having beaten the conqueror of Dutch S.im. Turner won the battle easy at Suwbridgeworth, and was again equally successful in a second battle with the same foe at Sheppertoa !tinge. Turner's mode of fight big is peculiar, and to a by-stander seems awkward. lie stands with his right foot foremost, and his left hand is tile strongest hitter. He is of Wt.lsh pa rents, and we. burn in the Borough of Southuork. He is about , 27 years of age, and fights eleven stone weight. parents were Irish. lie was born in St. Giles's, and is about 24 years of age. He is more compactly put together than Turner, and presents a muscular symmetry not to be exceeded by any ntan of his size in the fancy. He has the good fortune, too, to be able to tight either with his right or left foot finemost, and is also com pletely amliidexter. In his b.ittle with Belasco he availed himself of these latter qualities with singu lar success. The celerity with which this victory was won established Randall's fame, and he from thenceforth has been called the A'oapareit He had several previous opportunities of evincing his prowess. particularly in his battles with Holt and West Country Dick. His last battle was with Parish the waterman, at Hayes Common, in Kent, on the 47th of November, in the last year, in which he lost none of those laurels with which his brows had been previously adorned. Eight days after this victory—that on which Turner fought his second battle with Scroggins, when au opinion was entertained that Scroggins would not appear—Ran dall offered on the spot to light Turner for 100/. aside. Long before break of day on Saturday the road presented an almost wisinterrupted line of carriages from Ken ttttt gum Common to the field of combat. Every house of public entertainment was filled with customers, who took the bars by storm, and like a swarm of locusts devoured all before them ; it was utterly impossible, in fact, from the shortness of the notice, to be prepared for so immense a !multitude. The original time named was two o'clock. but this, with a view to the accommodation of the Dons, who were desirous of getting home to dinner, was altered to twelve. The lists were arranged under the direction of a deputation from head-quarters; a square of 24 feet was formed with strong posts, roped round with • double tier of ropes. Beyond this again a large area was bounded by waggona, carts, and carriages. Within this area an immense number of the fancy were admitted, but kept at a respectful distance from the milling area, which was, of course, ap propriated alone to the immediate actors in the scam.. The waggons and carriages forming the outward circle were literally swarming with inha bitants, and not a square inch was lett unoccupied. At twelve o'clock Randall arrived on the ground. accompanied by Oliver and Whele, in a post chew. He seemed extremely cheerful, and was greeted by many of Isis fi lends. Turner had prew musty made a lodgment in • small public-house near the spot, and was also visited by his supporters. About half-past twelve Mr. Jackson, who acted as master of the ceremonies, made his appearance. and a carr)ing pigeon was sent Off to announce the Lct to those interested in London. A cry of " Fight ! fight!" was now set up, and Mr. Jackson called for the men. At a quarter before one Ran dall, attended by his second Tom Oliver, *IA 11'liele his bottle-holder, entered the ring, and Randall threw up his hat amidst loud cheers. Se vela, minutes elapsed before Turner came forward. lie was I , llrOdlierd by Torn Owen his second, and Richmond his bottle-holder, who walked with him arm in arm. On reaching the roped urea, he also threw up his hat amidst the acclamation of the crowd. The men then stripped, and at seven mia mites before one o'clock they were led to the mark, and, after shaking hands, prepared for action. They both looked fresh, and they were alike err- Awn of succe4a, in word* and actions. Betting va ned from 6 to 5 to If to 4 on Randall, and Turner's father, who was there, backed his son 0 to 25. TUE ROUNDS. I. The amateur was delighted by the sparring tactics of use men, but as more than seven mined,s expired without a blow being struck, it was nut relished by the novices in the ring.

II Turner lout no chance after this, alilsosigh the battle was protracted in 38 rounds. He was slow at time, Randall did nearly as he liked with him, and oni.fought through every tactic. Turner I omplained that Randall bad stepped upon his toe In the last mussel, and said foss!. 11. Turner said to hi. antagosibil, " Do you call that fair?' The oilier 'wird will, the confidence of* victor, and afters rally, Randall hit hint lard in the body in going down, and Owen sung out " Foul!" nit, with energy, exclaimed " You lie !" H. Turner was again punished in head sad body, and be fell from weakling. 13. Randall appeared very strong, and had suffered but little from blows. Turner mule play by a blow upon the side, hit Randall cauxlit him right and left upon the already frightfully contused nose, which cut it in two other places, and the blood from the effect of the right hand flew up six feet, and sprinkled those nearest the ring. Turner fought wild and out of distance, and was thrown. 14. This round was a near as possible • repetition of the last, aud the filet knock down blow was given by Randall with the left hand on Tusuir's side, 15. Randall placed another hit upon the body, when Turner Weal in wildly, Randall smiling at him and break ing ground He measured hie head again and threw him. 16 Counter hits we►e exchanged, Turner placed anoilier, but hitting bail left him twin ihslrew , and he was mauled again at the ropes and thrown. 17. Turner fell with a slight body blow. 19 Tarry fought most pliantly, but his bead was too much damaged to judge of his distance. 19 Ruth men tired. resorted to parrying; and both went down together in a close. In closing, the men were balanced upon the ropes, and bulls fell oat. 20 Turner was bleeding copiously inwa►dljr, and his ski mach heaving like waves. wa. another specimen of his dis tress; both went down in a door. 21. Thiocrosat• from active operations was made up by • rufruning mond ; the men stood to each other with till. daunted courage. and hit until Turner went down. 22 This was also ■ good round, and Oweu called out, " One good hit." 1i was MO sooner said, than Randall placed another terrible nght•handeil blow ; 0114.111 one called out, " Now you have got it." Randall weaved with him •ud threw hun. S 3. Turner stood op senseless to be hit Aunt, and thrown ken the other had done with him. 24. It was Ihusstht Turner would not have faced this road again, hot he fell staggering with a heavy body hit. 26. Turner placed a chance blow upon the eye, but Ran sil run him iluwo 24. Randall thr►w his man. 27. Randall asked Turner, then on his second's knee, if be would fight any more, and he signified by gestures that lie would; bait he fell without the strength Of a hit. tB. Turner still kept well on Lis legs, and made a counter bit, and Randall slipped down. 19. Turner fell again from a slight blow. 30 Randall received a heavy blow on the chin in a fu rious rush arid with the left oa the head; but there was no force, and Randall hit him down clean. 31. Randall made more heavy hits as be chose, and ap. peered fresh Turner was down in every subsequent round to t►e 36th, and no man ever sheered game in such a super lative degree. He fought without a chance till the 30th round, when smother right-handed hit settled Ibc business, after Sghling two hoer., twenty-one minutest, and fifty-two seconds. Several thousands were pending. It was not only a sporting light among better men, but a sort of nationality between Welsh and Irish ; the monied men of the former have lost great stakes. OBSERVATIONS. After this copious detail, observations are unne cessary, further than to state, that Scroggins, although formerly conquered by Turner, loses none of his fighting honours. Of Randall, the round,' fur nish eoough : his skill is equal to his hitting, and the odds on him were advancing from the one• t. Turner seldom threw his body in with his blows, and Randall, from his adversary's position, by science alone, out-fought several inches of superior length. Turner remained strong on his legs till the last ; on this occasion, as on every other in which he has been enKaged, he proved himself not alone to be strictly scientific in all his movements, but to be a man of nerve and unquestionable cou rage. The opinions formed in favour of Ran dall, however, were in all respects confirmed ; Ilia science was fully equal to that of Turner, and his execution far more effective. Turner seemed un able to strike a severe blow, while Randall's hits, where they told, were terribly conclusive : there perhaps never was a light in which the art of self defence was more beautifully illustrated. Each man knew the particular qualities of his antagonist, and by every maiirsuvre which skill and ingenuity could suggest, endeavoured to resist them. The fortune of war, however, has been in favour of Randall, who is now considered one of the best men of his weight in the kingdom.

ABUSE Or CHARITIES. Vie ATTORNEY-GENERA IL V. lie Rev.-- II A Rr• LEY and OTH ELS. Mr. BART stated, that this was an information filed by his Majesty'. Attorney-General et the rela tion of the inhabitants of the parish of Bingley. in Berkshire, against the Rev. -- Hartley, the Vi car of the palish, and tiiirteeu Trustees of* Charity, founded for the support of a grammer school, in the parish of Bingley. The *lamination charged the Defendants with several abuses of the trusts of the charity estate. The circumstances were, that be fore the reign of James I. a certain estate was be. to thirteen trustees, inhabitants of the pa rish (for the time being) for the support of a grant mur school. Amongst the regulations of the donor for the management of the charity, there was one, which directed, that on the death or removal of a trustee from the pari4i, that the remaining trustees should immediately proceed to rill his place, by electing windier. The informution also set forth, that the Defeedaut, Hartley, held the situation i i of schoolmaster and vicar of the parish, and one person could not hold the two offices, according to the intentions of the donor. That the Rev. De fendant had made an addition to the school-house, for the purpose of receivisig scholars as boarders, which was not contemplated by the founder. nod that he shewed an undue,pieference to the boarders, to the disadvantage of the free scholars; that the trustees, instead of being a check over his conduct, had allowed him to have the whole and sole ma nagement of the charity estates, and the only rea son they assigned fur their conduct was, that it was for the benefit of the charity that the Reverend Defesidasit should be solely interested its it. The relators, therefore, prayed, that the Court would refer it to the Master, to inquire and report whe ther it would not be for the benefit of the charity, that the surplus funds, over whet was necessary for the support of the grammar school, should be applied fur the purpose of instructing the children of the poor inhabitants of the parish in reading, writing, and arithmetic. The Defendants had put in their answers, in which they severally denied all the allegations of the information, and set forth, that the charity was most properly conducted, and the Rev. Defendant extremely attentive to his duties as a schoolmaster, which was attested by a number of gentlemen of the greatest respectability in the neighbourhood. He (the Learned Counsel) was not instructed to say any thing against the re spectability of the Reverend Defembeet ; but he was certain that nothing could add snore to his re spectability than his consenting to the inquiry be fore the Master, as the latter would, by his report, give his seal to his respectability, if he deserved it. His Honour the VICEXHANCELLOI " This is a case in which I cannot refuse the inquiry before the Master prayed for; as to the Reverend Defen dant holding the two situations of Vicar nod Schoolmaster, the parties will then have the oppor tunity before the Master of producing evidence as to the propriety or compatibility of his holding the two offices. As to the charge against the Rev. Defendant of having enlargtd the school-house for the purpose of receiving 34 scholars as borders, I am certainly of opinion that a master of a free school hos so right to receive boarders. without it can be proved that they would be of advutitige to the purposes of the free school. There may he cases where it might he advisable, for instance, where the funds of the free school are inadequate to the support of a teacher, for men of talent and education will not be Found to accept of die office if they are not sufficiently remunerated ;hut in this instance there does not appear to be any lack of funds; therefore I think the whole subject matter ought to be referred to the Master, and that he should also inquire and report whether it would not be for the benefit of the parish of Bingley that the surplus funds should be npplied for the educa tion of poor children in reading, writing, and arith metic, fur I see in the deed of gift that the d I says, for the grammar school and other purposes." The prayer of the relators granted. His Honour the MASTISIt of the ROLLS sat in the Bendier.' Chamber, to hear causes by consent. COURT OP COMMON PLEAS, Warnmertek, 11•TVILDAT, DllCtillaLlit I.

This was the Plaintiff's case. Mr. Serjeant VAUGHAN, for the Defendants, cautioned the Jury against beteg misled by the high-sounding speech of his Lean' , a Bittilit r. He should cut up his case by the roots, by proving that Miss Marston was but a criminal lostsintient in the hands of another ',emit, a Mr. Rankin, a hook rota, to defraud his creditors. The todgi• gs were taken on his account, and the property was his ; or, to speak more correctly, lila creditors; the princi pal of whom was Mr. Barber. Rankin nos a dealer in china, who, not finding business I.IIC errd on hie account, got himself introduced to Mr B wto r, a gentle-num who had been a merchant, but 44as now retired, and advised him to specultue w china; 1 it sold very well in this cou.•try. Mr. 13 .rbtr re plied, lie had tio objection to lay not 1,300/. In that way. An agreement was airde between the partici; and reduced to *riling; the mature of which was, that the china should be considered as Mr. Bar ber's property, that Ratikist 'tumid ve ll it un his ac count. and should be allowed halt the net profit, de:: ducting interest, for his trouble. The china was purchased in the course of the year 1916. ltaltkiii told Mr. Barber it would. lie be tier to let it 11 , to the warehouse till the followlog spring. Mr. B .r. her. on examining the casts, and titidiog all light, smarmed, and went to the contitry. I here he got information which roused his suspicion • of some on fair dealing ; he came to town, at al discovered that his worthy agent had actually sold the a hole 4.f the , china to Messrs. Mortlock, iu Oxfo.d.aireet, and pocketed the price of it,about 2,000/. Oa this lie era rested Rankin, who alter re nonitatg i,i the Fleet prison nine niotiths, and heit.g mode a las•,krupt by Mr. Matter. got out 1.0 hind ball, ~td Coated a conaexiou with Miss Marston, dotrln 4 coitniaal„ criminal in its own nature, and reittlee«4l t a ,.r, so by being entered into with a view of .ferr,tiditor, his creditors. The Jury could not believe ilia if the apartments did itot belong tee Ittin, his W.-ee and pictures would have been lotstiti ittere, and a gold a etch, with gold chain mid seals; but tley took, not have any doubt on the subject. He should make it clear to them, that within a piece oft hula, iu a trunk, was found a sum of 1,0151. in flank of England notes, uuquestionably part of the ;lime of Mr. Barber's venture.
