The question, whether I hid dose wisely I. leaving the boards of what are called the regular theatres, and whit% was some time problematical, is now decided, amid, I may say (without more vanity than your encourage s/tent will fully justify), is decided in my favour. 1 now, therefore, leave the metropolis with that plentiful harvest which has ripened in the sunshine of your favonr.

BOXING. GREAT PUGILISTIC MATCH BETWEEN RANDALL AND BURKE, AT WIMBLEDON COMMON. Yesterday morning, at an early hour, the fanciers of scientific milling, as soon as their peepers were opened, brushed off in quick time to behold their " darling boy" once more display his extraordinary capabilities. Ramie was the favourite. and his election was looked upon as a certainty, but with the trifling difference of giving plumper* instead of re. ceiving them. Burke was not without his friends ; yet upon the canvass he was looked upon rather shy. Jack the Butcher, Dodd, West Country Dick, Borrock, Parish, Holt, Belasco, &c. had all fell beneath his conquering sun in succession. The Little was to have taken place at Moulsey Hurst, hut the Magistrates would not permit it. Coombe Warren was the next place fixed upon, and every thing was quite ready, when the beaks again inter. posed their authority. Some now began to think there would be no battle at all, when the comman der in chief (Mr. Jackson) gave the word for Wim bledon Common. The scone now beggared all description. At last the motly group arrived at the latter place, and at a quarter to two the combs tants sct-to. 2tol en Randall. Burke first en tered and threw up his hat, attended by Oliver and Clarke. Randall followed, attended by Whale and Paddington Jones. Round I. On the stripping every eye was fixed upon them • they both appeared in excellent condition. They imuselately set-to and closed, when Randall fibbed his op pommies bead most severely, and in the close threw him.— Loud applause, and 4 to tel was betted. 2. In this round much sparring occurred, and Burka chewed first blood; Randall bit Lim on the bead, tad both went down. 3. Burke, with a slight hit, fell down. 4. Burke's bend was completely in chancery., anti began to swell very much—in a close they both went down, but Burke undermost. 5 Randall planted two blows on his antagonist's bead without retriving any return. Burke was again down. 6. Severe fighting occurred in this round, and both were down, Berke undermost. 7. la ibis round the stops on the part of Randall were much admired. limb were down, but Burke under. S. Tbis was severely contested, and Burke had rather the advantage. 9. Much sparring, and Burke was again down. 10. A complete bugging round ; Randall, for the first time, was undermost, and hadcoaside►ably the worst of it. —(Loud shouting, and " Burke for ever r) 11. After a great deal of sparring and hugging, Randall threw Burke a tremendous crosi.bottock. _ _ _ 12 and 13. Burke again thrown, after considerable bug ging, which occasioned sands disapprobation, on account of being kept up every round. 14. Randall was in this round undermost, but be fibbed his opponent aevicely, and bad the beat of it. 15 and IS. In both these rounds such bugging occurred, and Burke was under each time. _ _ _ 17. Randall planted • severe blow on the neck of Burke, and be was again down. 18. In this round Randall planted a tremendous hit on the hePjuf Burke, which the latter with his right baud returned wiih interest, for he hit Randall four severe blows u■ Ilae. side of the bead, neck, Sec. without receiving any return.— In • close they both went down.—(This bought the bets rather more to • level, and Barke's friends loudly husatied ) 19. Burke had decidedly the best Of this round, and in a hue they both went down. 20. A famous round..—Randall hit Berke • tremendous blow on the face, which the latter returned with some sharp hits—both down, bat Burke undermost-4 to 2on Randall. 21. Much sparring occurred, and Riedel' planted some severe blows on his antagonist's bead. Burke's head was now truly terrific. 22 Burke from a slight bit fell. 1k appeared very weak —8 to 1 on Randall. 2341 and last. Randall planted three terrible blows with. wit receiving a return, and in a close he threw Burke niurt severely. Time was now called for the 24th roam!, but Burke bad dislocated his collar-bone, and Randall was declared victur, after a tight of three-quarters of an boar. REMARKS. Burke in this fighiVis --- p;O;ed himself a bottom man and good fighter, rod, had not any accident happened, would to all appearance have fought some time longer. Randall was greatly admired iii his step*. which were exaellent, but lie breined rather puzzled how to get at his antagonist, on ac coult of the length, height, &c. of Burke. In several rounds they were two or three minutes before a blow was struck. A great deal of liogia&os rimed. which occasioned much disapprulatiou. Randall had scarcely a *crutch. A numerous meeting of the Freemen of the City of York, Mr. Maws' Atl no the Chair, was held yesterday at the Lundua Cultre-huttac, Ludgate hill, *heal it was resolved unaaiusuusly. that the Hon.

Yesterday, et half-pest twelve &Hoek, Mr. Hint, purulent to public soniiiiiicenient, attended in Palace-yard to meet the Elector of the City of Westminster. In the hackney coachl.which peecedell him were !Mr. Carlisle, and (we believe) Mr. Hunt's bailiff, and they carried a large red dug, which upon oar aide hail painted in large gilt characters, " Haat and Liberty r. and upon the oases, `• Universal Sulrraper . About two hundred persons &Mewled him in Palace-yard. The Orator rose amidst considerable applause. Ile ad dressed his hearers as " Fellow-comitrymrii"—Not having the means or the inclioati .... to bribe Churchwardens, she Collector, of Poor's Rates, Kings Taxes, Officers of Cus toms or Exch.', he hail adapted the ancient end eunsliiu lionsl mode of slug the Electors of Westminster, by visiting them in their respective parishes. A great deal lied been urged against him and his party in the public print., and amongst those who had Wien a pronaineut share in vlllt fying his character was Ur. Slop, and he had nu doubt but the proceedings of this day would be mangled and misrepresented in the Papers to-morrow; still, however, lie should have an opportunity of every day contradicting the mistatements that weight appear. He should do every thing he could to compel the attendance of the other candidates upon the bust- Jags; at the same time he knew that they would keep from the hustings, because they would hove questions put to them by the Electors of Westminster relative to their conduct in Parliament, and the line of conduct they should hereafter pursue, that they would not be able to answer, at least satis factorily. He recollected upon one occasion,wheu Mr. Fox, the political Mountebank, was a Candidate for Westminster, he had occasion to go how Surrey to vote for a particular friend, and in kis absence, Mr. Sheridan, to whose tektite, wi t, .and humour be looked with the highest aden.ration, offi ciated upon the hustlers for him. Thor the M ..... Ile bank deputed the Merry-Andrew to act fur him—and he (Mr. Hunt) was fearful this would be the murk pursued by souse of the other Candidates un the present ncca.iou, be cause they were fearful they could nut answer the questions that would be propounded to thens•.(Appfaitse and In *Oder). —I fhe should have the honour uf being returned to Parliament for the City of Westminster, the first thin he should do in that corrupt House would be to take steps to repeal the Corn Bill, or lie would rather call it the Starvation Act.—(Ap p/aure.)—Although, as an agriculturist, he should be a suf ferer fin so cluing, yet all he wanted was to secure the right, of the pour part of his fellow-creatures.—(Loud applause) —lt bad been slated by the venal press, that he was the author of riot and disturbance ; but he would fearlessly slate, that nothing had resulted from any of his proceed ings which could in the remotest degree •uthorixe such an observation. He had met the 'maple for the pur pose of alleviating their sufferings. Having descanted generally upon the Borough-mongering helloes. and the misrepreseetation of the people, he said he should pro ceed to Waterloo-place to have a little conversation with his friends there, and without meaning the slightest insult to Ins Royal Highness the Prince Regent, if he condescended to put his head out of the window of Carlton-house, he might bear some impoi tent truths—such as en English. to would not hesitate to utter—and such as a Prince ought sot to be ashamed to bear. He thanked the populace fur their attentions, and proceeded, amidst partial accts. matiosi, up Parliament...reel, and to Waterloo-place, where he arrived about half-past one o'clock, by which time the spectators bad become much more numerous mid far more respectable. lie took off his bat, aud hav ing bowed to the multitude, proceeded to harangue them in a similar strain of eloquence. If be had the boomer of being returned to Parliament, although be admitted that the Royal Family should be supported consistently with their dignity, Ise would never give Isis vole for the allowance of the imamate sum of one million and • half for the Civil List. The Prince Regent drew from the pockets of the people—from your pockets, Gcullenica, no less a sum than one million a half last year. A person in the mob—" That is not true." Another—" That is false." Mr. Hour—" You are a scoundrel.—(Lasighter and ap p/anie.)—l say, Sir, you are a scoundrel, nhoever you are; but I know you must be a tailor—you are either one of the Prince Regent's tailors, ur oue of his cooks."—(Lail op plausc.)—Some of the populace manifested a desire to chas. lice this " free-thiuker," and surrounded him fur that pur pose ; but Mr. Hunt said—" Come away, Geutleinen—eunte away, my lads—he is only a tailor."--(Langhter ) Mr. HUIIT continued—The Prince Regent, the Chief Magistrate of England, received out of the Civil List one million and a half per year; but things were differently con ducted in the United States; the President of the United States only received 6,0001. per autsusa.—(Applaure.)—Usiiiii a recent occasion he hail beard Sir Francis Burdett say, that he did not much mind the allowance to the Royal Family, as it all came amongst the public again. " Yes! (observed Mr. H.) and if a highwayman stops use on Hounslow-Heath, puts a pistol to my left breast, and robs me of a 5/. note, that comes back again." He would not be deterred from speaking truths, although be was opposite the mansion of Royalty. If every soldier in the world had his bayonet fixed against his breast—if all the artillery in Englami was drawn up with their cannon pointed at him, and both were to say, " If ain repeat that observation, you are a dead nom," he would, fearless of death, repeat it.—(Lord applause, nod " Braes, (Mize* Bunt. " ") —He should new proceed to talk to his (livid. in St. George's. The Orator's followers increased, and the cavalcade pro. seeded along Pall-mall, up St. Jameed-street, along Purrs. dilly, up Park-lane, down Oxford-street, Bead -street, and into Hanover-square, where he addressed the populace in a similar strain to that in which he addressed them in Palace yard and Waterloo-place. At the terminatiiiii of hie address the spectators cried stood, " Hunt for ever—Bravo, Hunt.!" &c. and his horses being taken from the chariot, be was drawn by the populace to his house in Nurfulk-street, amidst the most discordant vociferation,. He gave those who sur rounded hint to understand, that he would visit St. Anne's sad other parishes in a similar way to•morrow (this day). DUBLIN, Jim E 12. THE TRIMBLESTON CASE. This great case having been appointed far the day after the present Term, was called on in the Court of King's Bench, at eleven o'clock yester day, before the Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Mayne. The former stated, that Judge Day was engaged in the discharge don important duty else where, and Judge Daly was indisposed; under these circumstances his Lordship thought a post purrement until a full Court would be obtained, might be expedient. After some observations from Counsel on both sides, and some consultation, it was filially deter mined that the trial should be adjourned to Mon day next, when it is expected the four Judges will be able to preside. This case comes before the King's Bench, in the form of an issue from Chancery, to try the validity •of the will of the late Lord Trinibleston. It in volves a large property, and it is supposed that ilie trial at bar will occupy three or four irrelts. The Court of King's Bench was crowded to excess at an early hour yesterday.

ELECTION HOAX. A most consummate hoax has been played off on the " independent Electors of Pomfret," and on a wiirthy Soli citor in that Borough, Mr. —. The developement of the plot did nut take place till Thursday night, for some days previous to which the unfortunate Solicitor bad hero liberally treating the mobility, as it now appears, at his own expense.

All was joy and hustle iu the Borough! A band of music went out to meet the worthy gentleman, and he was to he drawn into the place. The bells fired away, upon a signal being given that a chaise and four was in view coming from Carlton, at full speed, suit covered with dust. At the entrance of the town, our of the horses fell, when a respectable gentleman rushed out of his house, and politely pressed "Sir George" to take possession of it! This honour, however, was de. Chued, and the chaise drove rapidly, without further accident. tit Harrison's; when lu! it, the inexpressible amazement and mortification of the multitude, out tumbled Osborne, the giogerbread-seller, of Ferrybridge, powdered np in high style fur the oecasioal His companion, Samuel Shirtliffe, • pauper, after kicking out "Sir George," remained like a wise matt in the chaise, and drove off, leaving the Electors staring at each other like so many fouls.

I thou weak to the son-in-law; I told I. 1 had two notes, oily to whirl. be was a party, and the Linter a person urarly of the same name, Mr. Nicholls, rif Walthsmstow. I wished to know of him whether he knew Mr. Nicholls of Wattliautslow , be said hr was very sorry to tell inc there was Itti Oath persou , he had made that bill by the direction of his fatherdsedau„ &nitwit; he was apprehensive that there was great dangcr in the busiaess, but his father in-law said Ile would tale rare of hint. I Gating there was no such person at Waltham stow, and how the matter stood, by the ackuowledguseut of Nicholls that he had made the bill, nut drawn, as is slated it the petitiou (as I have the bill in my pocket, Which Will slae.o it is Hut S4l drawn); I then proceeded to consult my alturury on the subject ; be informed me Oast boils Eveuriett mot Nicholls would, if I indicted them criminally, be hunt, true had obtained the money upon the bill, ktiowing it to ho • forgery, cud the other bad forged a ionise Voris,. those . . circumstances 1 diet not know very well how to proceed ; there was uu property to induce me to lake out au extent there was uu advantage taken of other creditors; fin, though I saw the brokers on the day tbad 1 called upon the surety, who informed use thal Eventual, a few days berme, had gut '2OOl. of him under false pretences, yet Evenuett pretended at laid that lie had uo house, no furniture, our aiey property. Our iuteution was, through the fraudulent loam. r in which the surety of this Evenuett had obtaiord the secu rity, to proceed against him; my solicitor said that we could procreil ; and he said Ise thought we should succeed against the surety; that lie could out Avail himself of such a moue of obtaining the security. I was therefore advised to plumed against him; and we then had an idea that we sitoold out stand so good a chance against the sureties without we ex erted ourselves to get our money of the parties to time bills; we therefore proceeded septum Nicholls by tut ant of an ex tent, but he was allowed to buy in his property again fur twenty odd pounds, which tweedy odd pounds has out taro paid over; we have never seen any of it ; and we midge stood Nicholls himself, in consequence of tire bill, Ilea des camped. As to Evennett, I thought it better to put him into prison by means of an emelt!. Though there was SO property, yet I thuuzlit it proper to adopt that plan thais any other, for the reasons I have staled. I knew if we sent to prison, under au action fur debt, in the etilmome way, that he would get out, either by the bankrupt laws, or the liteolvent Debtors Act ; and if I indicted him crimisoilly, I hail nu alternative hut hanging him, and his sent-iii.lawt„ who was implicated with I ; perhaps it was toy duty au to have done ; but instead of the reasuus which are attribute to use, those of cruelty, it wee quite the rtvelse ; it was hu manity. We are proceediug against the broth, r, who we have always understood is a rich man, without any [smile, and whose money is to come to this Eveussettes children. In respect to one thing that is mentioued 11/1 the petition., that he kept cash Willi us, that, I believe, if 1 could have referred to the account, would have been found that be iletiet slid keels any cash with us, because his account was always Ull the wrung side ; we always allowed interest, which is nut the practice with the London Winkel.. We allowed four per cent. if lie ever had any money iii our muds. 1 had received nu application from taint, excepting once or twice of the somiii-law Tuck, to know whether I would give tip the bill that they were so apprehensive of. I totil him I should ant ; 1 should wait some time longer. In tact, did not know how I stood myself, anal whether I should be ololigerl ultimately to proceed 'gamut Isini believe the matter would have been brought to a crisis with the surety berme now, if the surety hail paid the inuotty, or a verdict hail been given to us as plaintiffs, so that he would Iroise been tallied to pay the money. Evennett nonlit have limit nu longer to prisms, unless 1 should and I dote out let bine out, in cousequence of the bill ; the surety was oily eisitravuuring to take the thorn nut of his own side and pest it into mow, to suit his own views, to see whether he could out, aft u' getting the securities nut of our lisaila, in the In which he Jul. by the aid teethe. debt,,, deprive us ultimately of the money doe to ue The suit would have been ended entiller, but I understood it was la , rot.ary that smile steps should he liar's to obtain the securities, to com pel theist to give no * copy of our 5.-entity, whwh 1 !multi stand has teen the reason that the matter has not before now been brought to revue, when this oleo would bare been idle rated, risilese, as I have lu.fierte erterreil, I was compelled to indict him criminalle ; thus the matter ova staueis Have you any thing to add to that statement —No nth. r creditor came fui ward that I know of, ta cionplaiii, to to any claims against the property of Nicholls.
