JR F.1..1 ND. SUPPOSED MURDER AT ROSSTREVOR. (From the Nciery Telerraph.l kitest alarm and anxiety base beta excited by the disappeuranee of a worths young fellow, named Peter Kelly of Da!Fragility, near llosstrevoi. on the night of hot Christina,. Ile had been drinking at a sit :Men house, kept be one Rooney, and was accompanied, on hisretum home, at ten o'clock, by two friends, who left him, not intoxicated, a align distance from hts father's In use- There, how ever, hr did not appear, nor hat he since been heard of. A day or two after Kelly's extraordinary disappearance, a gfect number of n4thbours assembled, and proceeded to make a search for his body in every place where be possibly might hare been lost : the search has been continued tor several days, hitherto wkbout the least success. A most minute inquiry into the circumstances relating to this snysler:otut case took place at Narrow-water, on Friday Last, before Roger Hall, Wm. James Wiluire, James Read, and Trevor Cor ry, Magri. The investigatioo continued the whole days We kart that there remains no doubt in the minds of thole gentlemen, that Kelly was murdered. Two persons have been taken up on snapi cio4,asd, fur tlx present, they remain in close confinement. Sere 'ral other particulars that have come to our knowledge we forbear to notice. at least Intll the labours of those active Magistrates shall be concluded ; confldatt that the hand of divine Providence will tliceet them on whom to fix the charge of this foul nod wicked deed.

Viscountess Powerseourt has set a brilliant example, which we are 'convinced will not be thrown away on the citizens of Dublin. Her ' Ladyship has presented this upright and indefatigable Magistrate with a splendid salver, richly ember:eel, and the centre chased by one of the fine artists in the kingdom, weittbing upwards of 240 ounces, inanafertured by Alderman West and Co., of Capel.streer, on which is the following inscription : " Presented by Amelia Dowager Viscountess Powerschtire to' . the Right Henourable Richard Smyth, lead Mayor of the City of Dublin, in order to testify her approbation of a Chief Magis trate, whose eminently distinguished public services have already peculiarly characterised his Mayoralty, and shed a brilliant lustre on the WO end dignified office which he fills, in a mantes wotthy of imitation by his rummers.

The defendant had ordered a quantity of turpentine of the pldm tiff the contract ter which he did not choose to fulfil, lit-CAIOIe, as he alleged, the plaintiff had exceeded his order in quantity and price. The plaintiff, on the other hand, contended, that the defendant's refusal to fulfil the contract arose from the turpentine coming to a falling market. To prove thew counter-stati•tents, several wit nesses were celled, and some intricate calculations Mete emend into. The Jury, after some consultation, returned a verdict for the de fendant nit one count, subject to a reference ; and a verdict on the money count for the plaintiff. THE PI/VATS SETTLERS. • WORT:C.OI V. THRAITES AND ANOTIIEi. This was an action brought by Sir Gregor :114 trefoil. of Smith American notoriety, against the proprietor of the Morning. Herold I newspaper, for a libellous paragraph inserted in his paper of the 14th /ember last. Mr. RICHAIDS opened the pleadings, and the Cow mou-Sen- CITANT stated the use to the Jury. The burned Counsel observed, that the Gentleman who came before them that day, to seek redress for a gross attack upon his character, was better known as Sir Gregor Pell•Gregor, who was of an ancient family in Scotland, and entered the tinny at an early period of his lite. lie afterwards went out to South America, and returned to this country in the year 1820, and having received a' tract of land from the King of the Mosquito country, he had en deavoured to make settlements that. That country lukl been de scribed by Mr. Bryan Edwards, so long back as the year 1770. as one of great beauty, and abounding with some of the most delight ful productions of nature. Mr. Edwards says, " Every variety of animal and vegetable nature, for use or beau ty, for food or luxury, has been most liberally bestowed on this colunry.lt is every where plentifully watered; and the soil it almost everywhere fertile in a very uncommon degree, and capable Of pro.. cueing, in the utmost perfection, whatever Is produced between the tropics. The cotton bush, the cocoa or chocolate-Rut, and venel loes, flourish spontaneou sly all over the country. Indigo, too, is a native, and appears to be of the same sort with that of the neigh bouring province of Oostimal, which is accounted the best of any. The sugar-cane arrives here to as great perfection as in any of the islands ; and the quantity of mahogany and sarsaparilla, annually exported from hence to Gr-at Britain, renders the settlement al ' ready an object of no small importance in the scale of her com merce and navigation. The rigors and coasts abofind with excel. lent fish ; and the finest turtle, both ter feed and shell, is found here in greatt plenty than in any part of the known world. To' which it may be added, and it is • circumstance of no small utility. in an infant settlement, that the mouths of many of the principal rivers produce a prodigious quantity of oysters, both of the man !grove and flat species ; of the latter sort, there are banks that ap pear inexhaustible t so that with respect to food, the inhabitants of this country seem almost to be exempted from the general curse . entailed on our first parents." That was the description that attracted the notice of Slr Gregor )'Gregor, and he raised money, for the purpose of forming a set tlement, and many were glad to join him. Ile took it for granted that his friend would not speak of the mischiefs of emigration; that was now an exploded doctrine, since Lord Selkirk, about twenty years ago, emigrated, and took artisans of every sort with him, and made most rapid strides towards improvement in the settlements he firmed, until Lord Selkirk's death somewhat checked their pro. geese. Surely his In Friend would not now say that it was I not dairatile for the emigration of persons to take place from a populous country, where they were, in a degree, deed. , lute of the means of support, to new settlements, in which they had scope for their industry. la October, 11122, pieties went out to the Poyaki territory ; but eircunistanoes arose of a most un fortunate nature, that prevented the realization of thaw hopes that 'end been so sanguinely entertained. The consequence was, that sixty persons who went out there were not induced to settle, and were deprived of their tools, clothes, and provisions. They after-. wards went to the Honduras Bay Company, through whose means many of the settlers cline to England. The most injurious re ports acre in consequence set about, regarding Sir Gregor Al Ore gee ; aed if those reports had ban spread merely for the purpose of waning persons from going out to the Poyais settlement, this action would not have been bruited. Sir Gregor Ill'Oregor him self was the greatest sufferer, and no man lamentesi is lot of the unhappy persons Who had gone there more than his client, and It was impossible for ally one to be more anxious to alleviate their calamities than himself. In January, Ift23, another party of settlers, to the number of 160, went out. In Ottober last three orphans, the children of parents who had gone out to'Poyais, were taken before the Lord Mayor by Captain Antrim, who most humanely brougnt them to this country. Captain Antrim was se companied at the Mansion-House by 31r. Prince and Mr. Hughes. On the 11th October, the Myrning Herald, under the head of " Mansion-House," had published a report of the pro ceedings that had taken place respecting these orphans, whose name was Chalmers. The whole of the paragraph com plained of was read ; the fanner part of which stated the hard ships that the settlers had experienced, and the unhealthinbaa of the climate. The Learned Counsel remarked, if the paragraph , had stopped there, this action would never have been brought into Court. If the climate had been declared bad and the country wretched, nothing would have been said; en the if it bad ably warned persons Prom going out to Poysis, ft wand heave ban fair ; but what followed was 90 goes, inflicting the severest pin upon the individual fur whom it ass intended, that he could not, in Justice to his own character, remain silent wider it. The remainder of the article stated that— s_ _ ..... " The poor creatures had been led by M'Gregor to expect a land where they would live in the greatest plenty, wbere everything was flourishing, and but little labour would be required. It woe mentioned to them as a mark of the improvement of the Awe, that a tine theatre had been established, and mentioned other ertab lishments, indicative not merely of civilization and comfort, but of luxury. " Captain Antrim mentioned a charge which the poor creatures bad preferred to him against 3POregor. Most of those who sailed from Leith were poor people, who had, by their frugality, saved small sums of money, of ront fi fteen pounds to thirty pounds perhaps. 3Pfiregor le arned the property which the settlers had with them. and telling them that Scotch money would not pass at the " settlement," persuaded them to give it all up to him, and take his draughts for the amount upon " his bankers" at Penal's. The savings were all given up to him, and it it perhaps unneces sary to add, that the settlers, on their arrival at the hous ek ss wilds of Poyais, found that no su ch thing as a banking-house was in esiatnicv. Captain Antrim regretted that he had not arrived sooner, ax another ship had sailed with settlers for the same place jest before his arrival, who, he feared, would also fall *sacrifice. lie had thought it his duty to make the statement publicly, that the poor might be put on their guard." It Was perfectly true that the land on the Black River, when oc cupied, would he tine. With regard to the Theatre, he could swains the Jury that Sir Gregor had never mentioned it as being in reality or contemplation, neither had any of hie agents. Anti in deed it was not probable that they should have done so ; their oh- JeCi was nor to represent the country as a highly cultivated one, bat fur the settlers to know that they were going out to an infant colony ; and the fact of their taking tents with them was conclusive on that point. If Sir Gregor's object had been to deceive the set tlers by making them believe that they were going to inhabit riga lady built towns, they would not hare been allowed to take out tents with titans. Ile would again repeat that nothing had been said respecting a theatre. It would have been most infamous on the part of his elkist, if the statement had becn true, but he was in structed to dealare that nothing of the kind had been mentioned ; the whole of these assertions were untrue; and he could nut believe that Captain Antrim had made the statement. It'ith regard to the savings of the poor persons who, _as was stated in the paristaph, had lost their all, and had received only Poyais notes in es t enangel; hut so'far limn those savings going into the pocket of Sit Gregor 3POregtir, he paid their passage and assisted them. The defendants bad put on the record a - tustitictirtem of this statement, and that it WAS correct, and that the eireurnstanas had occurred; but the proceedings upon which the paragraph was founded took place be tore a 3lagistrate, and were l c , parte. No man, of whom such acts were stated, could dare to chew his face if they were true ; but those who made the assertions must prove die things stated ; and if they failed to do that, the beamed Common Sergeant said that he hoped the jury would not hesititt to deal out suckeituntges to the plaintiff as would in sane degree compensate him for the in , jury he was subjected to. On Tuesday last it was max:vied that this cause would be tried ; and 'although the trials at Hertford oc est Ord so large a portion of the paper, yet they inserted a note to the thllowing " par savant of the great length of the tint day's Trial at Hert ford, se AM 011ligrti to omit in our paper of to-day, almost the whole of our miscellaneous matter, as well as nearly the 'thole of our advertisements." Still, after the inszrtion of this notice, the defendants found space for this paragraph, on the day, too, when every one looked for the cause coming on. We have another melancholy instance cf the privations and distress rest/I:foghorn the cruel and infamous Puyars liver in the came of Mr. lt'ilN at Kennedy of this place, who, with I ds wife and children, was induced to lave his tinnye soil, under tEr pto tniee of a lucrative appointment as a teacher of youth in that set tlement.

I knew Mt. Strangeways, and believe he wrote this book (a balk had been handed to the witness) ; some poetry, entitled " Atroyaisian to his3listress,” and " Lines ad droused to Poyais on leaving the terse," were also handed to the witness, who, nflet looking, said, its answer to a question from the iosnied Counsel, " I have seen these tefore ; I believe they were in choulation in Edinburgh in 11122„ for the purpose of imiticir.g person to reule in Poyais." The bank notes of the Poyats Bank were printed at Eitobingh I.r one dollar each. I cannot swear how many were sent out—l think not 70,000.

The Kinnendey Castle and Scheme sailed in 1823. The Honduras Packet took out 50 persons from Scotland, who came to • London in smocks.

Haft There were a few walls remaining in the ancient town, and plenty of bricks to build new house. Mr. Scan LE T T. for the defence, stated to the Jury, that he had no knowledge of Mr. 31-Gregor, or Sir Gregor M'Gregor, or by whatever title he went ; and he had no motive for offering any thing in disparagement of him; in candour he would say, that he rather • believed him to be a wild adventurer, of the most vivid imagina tion, dazzled with the prospect of power and sovereignty. The Jury had heard front his lancl-agent that be was engaged in inlinbur,gh in selling land conveyed to APGregor by a native Prince of the Mos eptitoehore, but who that native Prince was the Court was not in formed. But if the plaintiff', in epholding his speculations , had descended to artifices that he probably otherwise would not have been guilty of, and then chose to attack those who exposed them to prevent others being so deluded, be must take the consequences. How Mr. 31•GregGr first became connected with this Poyais country be did not know, neithet was it necessary to inquire; but the Jury would find hint with an othce at Edinburgh, sending a manager of bank, clerks and secretaries, to this land flowing with milk and honey. lie held in his hand a book written by Thomas Strangeways.

Cap tam of the Ist regiment of native Poytis infantry. and aid-de-camp . to his Highness Gregor 31• Gregor. The object of the book was, to make it apuear that 31r. Strangeways being well acquainted, had been enabled to &impose a work on its beauties, the fertility of its soil slid salubrity of its climate. (Here the teamed Counsel read several extracts of the moat inflated description from the book in question, but, resumed the lammed Counsel, what turned out to be the feet in this delightful' region ? This not Government began where • old once often ended--by distributing various sinecures; for there was a King without territory, a Capitals without troops, and clerks without offices. • The chief city had tiro houses in it; this was the territory that had been held out to Seetchmen as surpassing their land of heather and peat. Tits* were two justifications on the record, Ist, all that the defendants were charged with publishing had been published correctly ; and 2dly, that the facts stated had been truly stated ; and surely a faithful representation before a Court of Justice, or before a Magistrate, could not be subject of en • action for libel. He did not mean to say that 111'Gregor did not intend to compensate the persons he had deceived; and if the Jury should come to a decision to give him damages, he trusted the lowest possible coin would;designate their sense of the injury he hatlsus!ainetb The Learned Counsel then called - .

We all fell tick as s: on as we got out, and no one was there to give us a drink of water. My I hus ba nd and children died at Belize of the ague and fever. There were 15 , ! wont out in the Kinnersley Castle, and above lOU died there. - - - - - Air. Nash sworn.—l was introduced to Sir Gregor friend ; I wee at first his secretary, but I eldcfiy looked for a cornetcy of lancers. sir Gregor asked me SO write lines addressed to Poyals, which he had printed sad circulated. There was also some poetry entitled .• The Povais Emigrant," written by my sister. They were printed as ballads, and hawked through the streets to attract I the attention of the vulgar. The greater part of Strangeway's work was written by 3Pflregor. I gave the sheets to the printer's boy. I Strangeways was at that tior s in Jamaica. Before I came trom the Muumito shore I gave in a tunnel resignation, and called oa Co lonel Hall, who said he hail no money without I would take the Poya;s notes. The 31usimito King canto to the Black River, and prevented the settlers front remaining without they would be sub ',eat to hint. Ile said he had granted laud to Sir &ergot., but hay ing broken his stipulations, the King revoked the grant. He uadenuood there were to be there Houses of Legislation; the members to consist of such yeomen and barons as purchased lands I enough to entitle them to seats in the legislature. Mr. Edward Law confirmed the testimony of the other wit ' news for the defence, and said Re expected to see, from the repre sentations made ' public buildings and a handsome town. The case tor the defence being concluded, The COMMON Stmok•NY replied; and Ilk Lordship, in putting the case to the Jury, observed, that the defendants had put two justifications on the ecconl ; Ist, that ther e. port was true and correct, and 2dly, that the facto stated were truly stated. The Ju would have to consider. whether the first plea, a s hie I awes sot true. If they so believed on that 71 1 4 1 , 11i ttey must lied the defendants. He thought the act of fraud, respeing the Poyais notes, had not been proved ; I and therefore, if the Jury thought with him on that point, they wouhifind for the plaintiff on that part of the case. The Jury almost immediately returned a verdict for the de- I fenthuits, on the Ist plea; and a verdict for the plaintiff; damages one shillis.g, on the second pica. Sir Gregor 3PGrrgor was in Conn during the whole trial. A fatal anident occurred on Thunglay last on board one of the Trunntere steam-boars. -A man. in a state-of intoxication, in en. deavintring to light his pipe at the furnace of the engine, was, by a slight motion of the vessel, thrown amongst the machinery, and instaniaeeously crushed to death.—Li:erpeof ('wirier.

Jeremiah Cronert was indicted for stealing two silk handkerchiefs out of the shop of Alt. Balfour, a pawnbroker. Several witnesses wcro called: who proved that the prisoner took them. 11e was seen to run and throw them away from him a few minutes before he was overtaken and apprehended. The prisoner is a lad apysirently about 15 seaman!, of a respectable appearance. He deniA having committee the robbery, and called his master and several others, who gave him a very good character, and sated that they bad never known him accused of any offence before. The Jury rcurned a verdict of Guilty, and having been inform ed that his muter would take him into his emp!- , ., again, rccom. mended him to mercy. Mr. CusaT (the Chairman) lamented to sec a boy such as the prisoner fund guilty upon eYblenre so clear, but hoped that this would be a seaming through life. The sentence of the Court wu. that he should be imprisoned seven days. Join flidis,Vms was indicted for stealing a handkerchief from the pennon of William Burton, in the parish of St. Clements Danes. . . . The prisoner was very young in years, but had the appearance of an old offender. The Jury found him Gnifty. The ettattwax told hint, he believed the only way to save his life would be to send him abroad for the term of seven years. The boy pleaded earnestly for mercy, and again denied having stolca the handkerchief. He said that a person unknown to hint hail titrast it into his bosom, which he immediately returned to the prosecutor. He has no father—but has a mother, why lives as a cook in a Colonel's ;amity, and who was in attendance with several other per sons yesterday to speak to his character, but, by some accident, were not here to-day. The Cicala MAX, with his usual lenity, which he always exer cises whenever the least hope of improvement in a prisoner's chatactec can be entertained, delayed pronouncing sentence at present.

POLICE. HATTON-CiARDEN. Yesterday a genteel-looking woman was brought up, charged with having created an alarming riot in liancery-lane, on Thurs day evening. She was attended by her husband (an elderly gentle man) who was most assiduous in his attentions to her until the charge was about to be preferred, when, either from a very su perior respect for the Bench, or not entirely acknowledging the identity of man and wife, he suddenly retired to an obscure cornerof the Owe. The complainant, a master-tailor in Chancery-lane, who re mained so long in preparation to state his case, that he was re quested not to stop for his " Elegant Extract words," but to pro- I (wed in humble prose, observed that he would cut the matter as short as possible. " Please your Worship," said he, " this woman on last night kick'd up a row, bred a wrangle, called me a thief, and swore 1 was a vagabond." On being requested to slope this quadruple charge into more minute sections, he stated that her husband had been spending the evenin with him, with other frienas, when she entered the shop, charged. him with having robbed her of eight pounds, and on leav ing the house arm and arm with her husband, he being only forty yards before her, she indulged in such a strain as to coaect a mob about the door. . _ The foreman stated, that on entering the shop, he saw the lady looking towards the parlour, exclaiming, "1 ou thief ! you va gabond !" A Solicitor appeared on behalf of the lady. He stated that the truth was, that the lady's husband had been only recovering from an inflammation of the lungs, and that instead of staying at home to take his toast and gruel, he went to complainant's house to take his brandy and water; she had followed the rover there, and certainly . expressed herself warmly on the cold manner he had matedher civilities. As the principal testimony wu that of (lit foreman, and as he only stated that he Kurd the expression, but could not be positive to ►hom they were applied, the complaint was dismissed. M A RI.BOROUGH-ST!IEET. Yesterday James IYaWI, a well-dressed young man, who has been In custody for several days on a charge of attempting to rob the Salisbury mail-coach, was brought up for final examination. I Mr. HeMPHRIYd, the solicitor, attended for him. It appeared from the statement of William Ray, the guard of the above coach, that, on Monday last, a little before this coach started from the Bell and Crown, in Holborn, for the Gloucester Coffee-house in Piccadilly, whery it stops to take up luggage and passengers, that he saw the prisoner, with two other men, walking about the yard. Shortly after, he got on the box of the coach, and saw the prisoner seated on the body of it. Ile drove towards Pic cadilly, and on his say asked prisoner how far he was going? to which he replied, "As far as Hounslow." On the coach's arrival at the Gloucester Coffee-house, all the luggage for Salisbury (which was very heavy), was packed in the boot of the mach, and among the rest a leather bag containing several packages. Just au th e coach was about to start, he saw a man endeavouring to pull the leather bag out of the boot, and the prisoner stooping down as sisting hint. He asked him what he was at, when he itninediately ran off. Ile then seized the prisoner. On the prisoner being then questioned, he said he lived in Northampton, and was a master shoemaker. _ _ _ _ . 111; - . Flown, inspector of coaches, handed two leuers to the Ma. gistrate, which were answers to inquiries that were made at Nor thampton about the prisoner, and which stated that no such person was known there. He was called on for his defence, but after con. suiting with Mr. Humpitrys. declined saying anything. Aft. COWAYT said the offence was a serious misdemeanour, and ordered hint to give IS hours notice of bail, two,sureties in MI. each, and himself in 1001. for his appearance at the Sesaions. MARE-L.\-BONNE OFFICE. John Richards, a man of very respectable exterior. wu brought before J. Rawxtrisoir, Esq., by Williams the officer, upon a charge of felony. 111 r. John Augustus Johnson, a wine and spirit merchant, raid. ing at No. 11$, Regent -street, stated, that about three weeks aim the prisoner came to his house, and inquired the price of the spirits he sold. Witness accordingly told him ; when the prisoner ordered one gallon of runt, and the issue quantity of gin, to be immediately sent to No. 20, .Irgyle-street, where he resided, with change for a 101. note, and then retired. Witness, not liking his appearance, sent his lad after him to ascertain if he went there ; and, on his return, the boy told hint (11r. Johnson) he did go into the house. He accordingly sent the porter with the spirits, and 81. ds., being the change of the 101 note. The porter having stopped an unusu al tune, he was about sending after him, when he came in, bringing the spirits, but not the change of the note ; and his reason for staying so long was, that he had given the gentleman the change, but he never returned with the note. Edward Sutton, the porter to 31r. Johnson, said his master +Den: him with two gallons of spirits to No. 2U, Argyle-street; a female opened the door, and instantly a man came up, there he recoignlsed the prisoner as the person] and said, as it was dark he would get • candle, he then (mimed him down stairs into a small kitchen ; the prisoner then ssid, " flare you brought the bill and change fora 101. note;" he replied "l'es ;"" Give it me then, and I will go up stairs to my master for the note ;" he accordingly gave the prisoner the change. Witness afterwards waited until he was tired, but no gen tleman returned, when he went into another kitchen where the servant was that opened the door to him, and inquired of her after the prisoner, and why lie stopped so long with his master; she re lied, " Ile bas no master here ; he has only come here to take odgings for a gentleman." Witness consequently brought the eplrlts back to his master on finding that the prisoner had left the house. Wheat Barley George Rogers, a youth in the employ of Mr. Johnson at the time the prisoner entered the liquor, and who tollowed him home, stated, that on l'uestlay, about four o'clock in the afternoon, he was in Paradise-street, Mary-la-bonne, with his brother, when he no ticed the prisoner, who, on observing he recognized him, exclaimed, "Ah !" Witness not answering him, his brother said, " Why don't you speak to the gentleman ?" when lie said to his brother, "That Is the man that swindled Mr. Johnson ;" told him to go for an officer, and he would follow him (the prisoner), who took seve-1 ral windings; and-witaess, iearful be should lose hie brother with :he officer, called out to a butcher's man in the New.road, saying, "'fake that man (meaning the prisoner t into custody ; he has been guilty of felony." At this moment Williams came up, and took him into custody. Elizabeth Hawkins, servant to Mr. Robinson, of No. 20, Ar gyle-strect, dekteuti, that the prisoner came there to take apart menu; far his master's son, about three weeks ago ; he hired the first and second floors, and said he expected his master to be there on the following day. In two days a ft er the prisoner came, saying he had a I•lter from his master, whom lie expected in town that night, and desired witness to air the beds He then went away, and site did not see him again tar a fortnight. When he came again, believes it was on a Friday, saying his master would be there next day, and thzt he would pay a week's rent to her for her trouble. 'the prisoner then asked the witness if she could lend him a donut of bottles, as there was none wine coming, and his master did not like to pay for the bottles ; she lent him all she had, end bannister made up the deticimey. Ile came again the next day, and said be expected his master every minute. The prisoner then went into the kitchen, soon after which a knock Caine to the door ; it was the porter; she was about answering it, when the prisoner attempted we pass her, and invited the man down stain with the villein • he shortly afterwards went up stairs, leaving the porter below, 'and she never saw him until now in the office. . . . The prisoner attempted" to contradict the evidence, and denied going to Mr. Johnson's house; but the witnesses all swearing posi tively to his person, the Magistrate fully conitnittul him for trial. THE LATE FlGHT.—Sprin,g ' s friends account for the length of the battle, by saving that he could use only his left hand defeosively after the }kb round, in consequence of having hurt his knuckles by hitting a tremendous blow on Langan's head. Another circumstance that retarded the final issue was the destruction of the inner ring ; the combatants were so closely !surrounded, that they had not room for action, which was greatly to Spring's dissolvers tap. Langan has proved a perfect glutton, and that he is the best man that ever came from Ireland. After the fight he was ex-' ceedingly ill. Ile was put to bed, anl 30 leeches were applied to cliliiTent parts of his body. Ile and Spring will both •• - chow" on Tuesday next at the Fires Court, should lAngsn's health permit. From the game which Langan has displayed before such a man as Sprin7, he is looked to by the Fancy as one likely to become for midable at no distant time. He wants science, and when he has acquired this he will Indeed be an awkward customer. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HUNTING INTO Mr. Littleton'.
