This point ac .l—complished, be speedily returned, enthroned him self, and exercised all the episcopal functions of ordination, confirmation, consecration,&e. the Anglo - Parisians not caring to enquire into his title to do so, and the French caring still less whether he per formed them or not. Although so little cared for in Faris, the news on reaching this side the water oc casioned no inconsiderable sensation, particularly among the Right Rev. Bench, this irregular as sumption of the Episcopal dignity being fraught With great danger to the Church, since, if them be an Angle-Gallic Bishop of PAats, we mu't shortly 1 , expect a Gallo-Anglican Bishop of LONDON, who may feel as much disposed to share the revenues the labours of the See. A Right Reverend Prelate therefore addressed a monitory letter to this "Piling but erring son of the Church, who on its .-receipt observed for some time a respectful or ex -Pressive silence, which he at length broke by a elastic:al quotation : " Mellor est conditio posoidentis"— , m "ning it is presumed that " possession is nine points law ;" an d h av i ng l earne d f rom an A noo.;:f tile arisi an q ua mted with , who had good reason to be we ll ac the fact, that the King's writs had no force in Paris, promptly concluded an Episcopal monition might be as powerless, and thereupon has ventured to shew symptoms of contumacy ;—thus this important affair rests at present. -....

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY. COURT OF CHANCERY. The LORD CHANCELLOR tOokhisseat this morn , ing at a quarter-past Eleven o'clock. CREMORNE V. ANTROBUS. His LORDSHIP gave judgment in this case, de ciding that the service of plate belonging to Lord Cremorne, part of which he was in the habit of seeing deposited at his banker's, passed by the will under the term furniture belonging to the dwelling house. With respect to the books, his Lordship considered they would with more propriety form part of the library than the household furniture. TATE V. MOSS. Mr. LYNDB requested thil; - the petition in this case relative to a ward, might be placed at the head of the paper for Saturday, to be heard in his Lord ship's private room.—Ordered. CLARKE V. ATKINSON. Mr. BICKERSTETH replied in this case, in which, on a former day, he moved the Court for the dissolution of an injunction respecting the defendant, an eminent carpet-manufacturer at Mar ket Harborough, Leicestershire, from using cartain machinery in his manufactory, which the plai►►tiff alleged was an infri►►gement on a patent which he had obtained. After the Learned Counsel had con cluded, His LORDSHIP observed, that he understood that Mr. Sugden did not now oppose the dissol►tion of the injunction. The only question remaining would be as to the account. With reference to this part, his Lordship would read the specification, and give his judgment on Saturday next. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY. These Sessions commenced this morning before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Recorder, She riffs, and several Aldermen. Lord Chief Justice TENTERDEN and Mr. Baron GARROVV are the presiding Judges. The Calendar is very heavy, there being more than 300 prisoners for trial, amongst whom are six charges of murder. Mr. CLARKSON at the sitting of the Court applied for a postponement of the trial of 31oses Jacobs, charged with arson. The prosecution was insti tuted by the Directors of the Sun Fire Office, and several Counsel were engaged, but not expecting the bill would have been found so early they were not in attendance; the witnesses also were absent. Lord TENTERDEN—I see no ground for the ap plication ; the Counsel ought to be present. I will only postpone it till 12 o'clock, and then if the witnesses are not prepared the prisoner must be acquitted. John Daly, aged 17, was capitally indicted for burglarioasly entering the dwelling-house of George Richardson, and stealing therein a 51. note and other monies, his property. The prosecutor stated that on the night of the 23d February he was awoke from his sleep about two o'clock, by a noise in the house. He struck a light and went down stairs, when he found the street door open; it had been opened from the in side, so that the prisoner must have secreted himself previous to the family going to bed ; he soon disco vered that a box, containing a 51. note, had been taken away. Suspicion falling on the prisoner, he was apprehended, and on searching him a letter was found that he was about to send to one of his com panions, giving an account of the robbery. He had disposed of the note. The prisoner denied that the letter found upoi him was in his hand-writing; he was only car. tying it to the Post Office. Lord TENTERDEN summed up, and the Jury re turned a verdict of Guilty, Death. There was another indictment against the pri soner, charging him with stealing from the house of George Richardson, 78. 6d. the monies of George Williams, but which was not proceeded in. James Bray, (aged 30,) a respectable looking man, was indicted for stealing in the dwelling-house of James Thomas, three coats, and several other articles of wearing apparel, value 131. the property of Charles Chrisnett. The facts of the case were satisfactorily proved, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. John Learman, aged 20, was convicted of enter ing the dwelling-house of Hester Roberts, and steal ing a quantity of pickled pork, value 10s. her pro perty, and a quantity of timber, value 2s. the pro perty of John Coell. - This case, which did not possess a single feature of public interest, occupied Nearly two hours. Wm. Tucker, aged 38, Was convicted of stealing two pewter pots, the property of Mr. Price, land lord of the Bricklayer's Arms, Gloucester-street, Commercial-road. The prosecutor said he had lost five dozen of pots since Christmas. Mr. Baron GARROW sentenced the prisoner to be transported fOr seven years. James Bladen and - Hunt, two young thieves, were convicted of picking a gentleman's pocket in Holborn. Jose Marie Murrill°, a Spaniard, was charged with an attempt to murder Thomas Cooper. There was another count, charging him with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm, and a third count, charging him with a common assault. The prosecutor is a waiter at Story's Coffee house, and it appears the prisoner went there in a state of intoxication, and called for a glass of wine, which was refused him, when he became very trou blesome, and on the prosecutor attempting to turn him out of the house, he received several wounds in the side, which the prisoner inflicted with a large clasp kHife, which he took from under his coat. The trial of this case was proceeding when our paper went to press. At the Assizes at Taunton, on Friday ELIZA IETIL LUCKES, aged IS, was indicted upon the Coroner's inquisition, charging her with the wilful murder of her new-born male child ; and Eux.taerft Lucxrs, aged 60, was charged with feloniously inciting, abetting, and assist ing the other prisoner, who is her daughter, to commit that murder. The Jury after a abort consideration, found both the prisoners—Not Guilty. There was another in dictment against the prisoners for the misdemeanour, in concealing the birth of the child ; but the Counsel fur the prosecution declined offering evidence, as it was exactly similar to that already detailed ; and the prisoners were, of course, entirely acquitted. HEADS OF THE ARGUMENT FOR CA THOLIC EMANCIPATION, ON THE GROUND OF TRANQUILLITY. Ist. By making the Catholics eligible to Parlia ment you will open to them a new field of ambition, and their leaders, instead of trying to signalize them selves as leaders of factions in Ireland, will try to get into Parliament, where they will be but in the ina4B, and prove comparatively harmless. 2d. By removing this subject of quarrel the atten tion of Ministers or Capitalists may be directed to other measures, such as making canals, draining waste lands, &c., none of which could be done w►th a Ministry divided on this question, and whose bene volent views would be met at every point by it, so that if this Bill does no good of itself, it is a neces sary prelude to all other measures. 3d. You may now expect a more equal distribu tion of law; the Government will be united and decided; there will be but one opinion between it and its law officers; and prosecutions, if requisite, may now be carried on effectually. Although you have had Prime Ministers, Attorney-Generals, and Lord Lieutenants all trying to thwart each other because opposed on this question, now they will pull together. 4thly. In course of time the country thus be comes more quiet. English capitalists will be in duced to invest their money in promoting manufac tures, and encouraging commerce. Then the con- sequence tvill be, land will rise in value; money will fall in interest ; the manufactories will create a de mand for agricultural produce; canals and communi cations will be made through the wastes; the pea santry will be employed; you will have flourishing manufactories, and l an increased supply of corn,without the present necessity of importing it from the Conti- neat. If the peasant is employed he will be tranquil ; he will feel he has an interest in the State, or skeet' in the hedge, it will therefore be his interest to be peaceable, and obey and support the laws. I don't mean this Bill of itself will do all this, but I mean, this can never happen till this Bill is passed. .sth. Suppose, instead of talking about the Pope and the Pretender, we remember there are such things as " war with France, Russia, and America" probable at some future day. Is it not much wiser to think how we can beat the Russians, than how we can beat the Pope ? Well, now, what would be the case at present in a war with France, for Why, you must increase your force in ►stance. "reland, and need the troops to keep Ireland quie that should be fighting your battles on the Conti nent. What consolation would it be if our forces were defeated by those of foreigners—if the honour of England was tarnished—and we concluded an ig nominious peace, to say, "Never mind, we have been consistent—we have kept up the Oath of Su premacy—we have kept the Papists out of Parlia ment, though by so doing we have ruined the inte rests of England?"" Now, what I say is this, — leave the Pope and the Cardinals to themselves; they will not very soon be on their march to Lon don. Look to your real, not your fancied dangers; we know you can remove all useless bones of dissen sion ; try and make Ireland a source of wealth and strength ; let her soil supply us with corn ; let her peasantry supply us with troops; make her an impregnable barrier to your empire, and do not throw away these great advantages because of either Devil, Pope, or Pretender. Think of the ad vantage in another war with America, of mak- ing an harbour in Ireland whence you might sail directly; think of this in case of war with France, or any fresh commotions in Portugal.— Well, then, my argument is,—take care while you can beat imaginary dangers you are not assailed by real ones. Unite your people—gather up your strength for the combat, and if you must make a display of power, let it be against the enemies, not the subjects of Britain. I again repeat, Catholic Emancipation will not alone do all this; but it is a bone of dissension which prevents your adopting other and important measures. G. " Vide Earl Grey's Speech.

Esq., an d J ouN GoLpS -1-BIOURGoituaLIIINRIAE%JutonAwN,I%EIo,R.Rts, FIGHT BETWEEN YOUNG DUTCH SAM AND NEAL, FOR 100/. A-SIDE. This superlatively interesting affair came off on Tuesday last, by special permission, at the park of E. L. Charlton, Esq., near Ludlow, In Shropshire, 142 miles from London, the combatants having re ceived a valuable consideration of 504 each on con dition of exhibiting their pugilistic powers, skill, and science, at that remote and otherwise little fre quented part of the kingdom. Under the tempta tion of such a bait, the sordid love of money easily prevailed over the more generous passion for glory, and induced both parties, notwithstanding their dis agreements on other points, to consent to dragging their admirers to so unconscionable a distance, or to leave them to the sad alternative of not beholding so interesting and much-talked of a contest at all.— Let it not be said, then, that the popular art of self defence—vulgarly called milling—is a worthless, barren, and unproductive acquirement, since, as it were, a premium, or rather a retaining fee of .50/. for a single exhibition is tipped to each of the two youthful professors of this much-admired science, who, although both ranking already pretty high in this gymnastic accomplishment, still cannot be said to he absolutely at the top of their profession, like such first-rate and first-sized pugilists as Spring, Peter Crawley, and Ward, who add those gifts of nature, superior size and weight, to the ac quirements of science, which consist in gracefully, adroitly, and effectually giving, as well as man• fully and unflinchingly receiving, a quantum sqf .fleit of lo:ock-down blows, black eyes, and bloody noses, the inestimable trophies of pugilism, whilst many a much elder and regularly college-bred barri ster travels the Home, Northern, or Western Cir cuit, year after year, without pocketing as many shillings, in the shape of fees, wherewithal to buy hair powder for their wigs. It is just that, on one hand, pugilists should be allowed to turn their la bours and the sweat of their brows, to the best ad vantage; but, on the other hand, it is a great nui sance to the public at large, upon whom the ring, after all i depends for encouragement, that hundreds of sportsmen, and those indispeniable trumpets of fame—the Press, should be put to so much incon venience and expence, to travel hundreds of miles over remote and almcst pathless tracks of country to describe prize-fights, which might just as well take place within a reasonable distance of the me tropolis. Such a course, calculated merely for the benefit of a few, but extremely inconvenient and ruinously-expensive to the many, must, in the long run, if persisted in, defeat its own purposes, which, it may be easily foreseen, the Prize-ring will find to its sorrow. The slightest reflection must satisfy pugilists that the 501. or 1001. thus subscribed for them by inn-keepers, post-masters, and coach-pro prietors, of whatever district they may favour with an exhibition of their prowess, must be extracted out of the pockets of the sport-loving public, to gether with much larger sums, a great part of which would probably find its way directly into their own purses, as a reward of their exer tions. We shall no longer dwell on this subject, except by observing that we really believe the roads in Shropshire are the very worst in England, and extortions on travellers are there carried to a greater extent than any where else, as many charges exceed those of London by 200 per cent. But to revert to the grand business of the day. We must call the attention of our readers to the condition of the com batants. On the morning of the fight we found Neal, with his seconds and backers, at the Angel Inn, at Ludlow, where he had arrived by the mail on the Sunday before the fight. To us he appeared considerably thinner and paler than we remembered him to have been at several of his preceding fights; but, as many connoisseurs would rather see a pugi list pale than flushed, we shall not dispute the cor rectness of their opinion; however, though pale, he certainly did not . l oo k ye ll ow or s i c k ly, as has been asserted by some. He had trained at his old quar ters, at Milford, in Surrey, and professed to be quite well, and confident of winning. The reduction of his bulk had become necessary, as the articles limited his weight to l Ist. 10Ib. When the hour for weigh ing approached, the scales were so besieged by the crowd, anxious to behold the two combatants, that it was deemed expedient to transfer them to the yard of the Angel Inn. Thither Sam and his friends repaired from the Crown, where they had esta blished their head-quarters; and, on going into the scales, Sam,who had originally trained at Shirley's, the New Inn, Staines, and afterwards at Virginia Water, and looked exceedingly well, fresh,and in good spirits —was said to weighllst. 61bs. for we could not ap proach near enough, on account of the crowd, to count the weights placed in the opposite scale— making 41bs. less than the weight he was limited to. Neal next divested himself of his garments, and was found full 31bs. lighter than what he was entitled to be—though Sam's backers asserted that Neal was, at the utmost only an ounce or two lighter than the articles of agreement allowed him to enter the ring. This ceremony being gone through, and the discus sions respecting the 501. bonus for each of the pu gilists being adjusted, by withdrawing the same from the Ludlow bank, and depositing it in the hands of the stakeholder, with an express understanding that either of the combatants failing to enter the ring, such defaulter should be excluded from the benefit of his allotted share, the parties prepared to move forward to the scene of action, the ring being fixed by Oliver and Fogo in Mr. Charlton's park, about half a mile from the town. Neal, accompanied by his seconds and backers, proceeded thither in a ba rouche and four, accompanied by a postchaise and pair, (containing the Reporters of the London Press) and a great number of pedestrians. Sam and his friends, who were still at the win dows of the Crown Inn, followed immediately in the same direction, in a carriage drawn by four horses; pretty smart April showers fell at intervals as the ,procession moved along; the whole town was in commotion, and wore a holiday appearance, all the windows being lined with well-dressed fe males. No other carriages and equestrians were, however, admitted into the park; the stakeholder himself met with some difficulty in gaining admit tance from the Squire's gate-keeper. The ring was capacious and well kept, furnished with abundance of waggons for the convenience of the spectators and, though many thousand individuals attended, there was not a single attempt of breaking it, nor any other confusion or riot, save and except a pu gilistic intermezzo between two amateurs, during the progress of the rounds. The ground itself was a beautiful piece of green turf, firm, and pretty free from slipperiness, notwithstanding the occasional showers. - Neal, the tried conqueror in fourteen pitched battles, was from the commencement of the match the favourite at considerable odds-6 to 4, 7 to 4, and lastly at 2 to 1, and so continued ; though it ought not to be dissembled that in certain parts, Birmingham and its vicinity, for instance, Sam was the favourite, it being supposed that he possessed far supperior science, and that he would be sure to blind Neal in a very short space of time. The inhabitants of Birmingham came probably to this conclusion by the credit they gave to the asser tions of Philip Sampson, their townsman, one of Sam's seconds; the correctness of which was speedily justified by the event. It had been, more over, hinted that Neal was far from being so well as be ought to be. At 27 minutes before one o'clock (London time) Sam entered the ring, attended by his second and bottle-holder, Dick Curtis and Philip Sampson, and threw up his hat in token of defiance, thus unde ceiving those who might have entertained any doubt of his meaning to fight, and to earn his share of the 100/. subscription. He was loudly cheered by the spectators. Neal, who was waiting in a carriage outside the ring, followed shortly afterwards, Spring and Harry Holt waiting on him in the capacity of second and bottle-holder. As he approached the ropes, supported by his principal backer, he also flung in his hat, at a short distance. He was like wise greeted by his numerous friends, amongst whom were gentlemen of rank and station. Sam's colours were yellow, with the initials of his " nom-de guerre" b. S. and the modest motto, " Nil despe randum." Sam's friends gained the toss for choice of position, and according placed their man with his back to the sun, which occasionally peeped out be tween dark clouds ; but, a good deal of delay occur ring in the preliminary arrangements, Neal, who was anxious to tight, complained to Sam's backer that such dilatoriness was unfair and prejudicial to him self. However, both men having been stripped for some minutes, their great coats loosely thrown over them, being removed, they were led to the scratch, and, after complying with the usual formalities, the fight commenced. THE FIGHT. Round 1. Breathless anxiety and attention prevailed. Neal was considerably thinner than at his two last fights, with Roach and Nichol!. The dir:eretice was most ob servable in his arms and legs, at least it struck tis to. But what he had lost in size, he seemed, at least for the present to have gained in point of agility and elasticity. But, whether it was paleness or relaxation, his eyes did not dart the same: fiery laoks, nor did the muscles of his counte nance exhibit the same degree of energy which formerly characterised them. But in his feet he appeared, if any thing, more nimble and light. Sam, standing with his back towards us, we had for sevet'al thitiutes no opportu nity of watching the expression of his countenance. His frame and shape, however, were elegant and beautiful from any point of view. He was decidedly the tallest of the two, and upon the whole, perhaps, the biggest. His legs, arms, and bust are tmccrnmonly well shaped, and though he is long in the folk, yet his rice and balance are well measured, and his steps very firm. Both men sparred cautiously ; and covered themselves with much pre cision at all points, Sam holding his arms well up, fre quently shortened, and with the upper part close to his body, as if watching an opening, still with much apparent ease. Neal, anxious to commence operations, made play lightly with his right, but was stopped. Sparring re sumed. After several feints, Neal let fly his right. Sam countered, and planted a facer 'on Neal's phit, who showed first blood, though slightly. Neal rushed in, and on clos ing, seized Sam round the waist, and strongly tried his favourite throw, but it failed. Sam fibbed him with his right when on the ropes, and succeeded in throwing hint over. The outer angle of Neal's right eye, no rising, showed the mark of a blow. 2. Stockman offered to bet a sovereign that Sam would not get a black eye. " Done," said some one. " Stake" rejoined the other; but the sparring of the combatants superseded this uninteresting chaff. Neale tried to rush. Sam kept him off, and hit out right and left, receiving between times, and after some bustle on the ropes threw Neal again. " Well done phenomenon !" from Sam's friends. His father never could do half so well, 7to 5 offered only. 3. After some scientific sparring, Sam hit out with his right at Neal's head ; Neal stopped him beautifully, and, in return, gave Sam a punch on the lug, knocked him on the ropes, fibbed, and finally floored him.—_(" Bravo, Neal !" from the Streatham Youth's friends, who flat tered themselves the former throws were mere gammon —" Foul !" claimed by Sam's friends, but no ear given to it.) 4. Sparring. Neal gave Sam a severe muzzier ; blow? appeared. Neal followed up his success, and knocked Sara down.—(" Bravo, Ned !") . Sam let fly at Neal—missed ; Neal struck him on the chest, got away by jumping round on his retreat, but Sam followed him up, closed with him, jobbed him, and, again proving too strong, threw Neal, to the astonishment of the latter's friends, who evidently saw now that Sam was the strongest on his pins. 6. Neal's face, on rising, showed already numerous marks of punishment ; after some clever out-fighting on the part of Sam, Neal was obliged to cut and run, but rallied, and hit Sam on the canister and chest, received more in return, and was finally thrown by Sam. 7. In a scuffle, Satn fibbed Neal, hit him in every di rection, and ultimately floored him.—(Uproarious demon strations of joy amongst Sam's party.) S. Neal came up somewhat groggy, and was heavily thrown under the ropes by Sam, who now decidedly had the lead. 9. Neal went down presently, without a chance of resist ance.—(Mute astonishment among his amased friends.) 10. Neal rushed furiously is upon Sam, who received him steadily, and again threw him. Neal much distressed. —(Neil's affairs looked very blue.) 11. Neal down again, after a fruitless attempt to fling his antagonist. 12. Hugging, Neal under, though without any decisive mischief. 13. Neal made some desperate hits at Sam, but was grassed presently in spite of his utmost efforts. 14. A hundred pounds to ten offered on Sam—no takers. Neal hit out at Sam, was stopped cleverly, and fell at Sam's feet. 15. Neal hit Sam a stomacher and a mussler—neither produced any effect, but be was thrown again and again. 16. Sam hit up Neal right and left ; Neal retreated, countered, but, unable to make his fast tell, he came to the ground. 17. Neal gave Sam a nobber, but, in closing, was thrown notwithstanding. Sam fought so quick that it was impossible for either pen or pencil to follow him, or to do justice to his movements in detail. IS. Hugging—Neal went down. 19. Neal thrown again. Sam looked quite unconcerned. 20. Neal parried well; he fell on a new resource of seizing Sam's hand, but went down again, as before, to save himself. 21. Neal retreated, stopping Sam's hit. Some one ob served his right hand was gone. Spring offered to lay 1001. it was not. Sparring, Sam hit out—Neal stopped him, ran away, Sam after him, and Neal down. Some of Sam's friends said, Sam should fight Spring or Simon Byrne for 5001.—probably a mere unmeaning flourish. 22. Neal twice hit at Sam's head ; Sam countered, and threw him like a sack. 23. Sam missed Neal's chest, but hit him on the head and eye.--"'Tis all over now" was the cry. Neal de fended himself, but hit out of all distance; Sam closed, and down went Neal as usual. Neal whispering to Spring when on his knee, Sam's friends conceived he meant to give in, and hurraed ; but Neal merely asked him not to wipe his face, as it was very sore and painful. 24. Neal missed, and, losing his balance, fell backward on that account rather than from Sam's blows. 25. Sam drove Neal on the ropes, administere:l punish. ment, and struck him down on both his knees. 26. One of Sam's friends, seeing Neal's face so dread fully punished, said—" I wish, Sam, your old father was alive, and could see you now." Neal, hearing this, rushed in fiercely. Sam, with some of his straight forward blows, hit Neal under the ropes, and looked disdainfully at him. 27. " 0 you wonder of the world!" exclaimed one of Sam's friends, " No young girl in all this town is half so handsome as Young Dutch Sam." Sam hit Neal two smart blows on the chest, and then smashed his nose. Neal stood his ground, but after some hesitation went down. 28. Neal hit out, Sam returned right and left, and so grassed bim. 29. Sam walked briskly to the ground —poor Neal was carried with great tenderness. Sam hit Neal off his place ; he returned, but was knocked over the ropes, where he lay motionless, 1001. to 101. — no takers. 30. Neal, after a demonstration, attempted to seize Sam round the middle, but was thrown. 31. Neal, though shockingly punished about the heed, and his face one mass of gore (and Sam's fists appearing as if they were steeped in blood), still defended himself gal lantly, nay, generally attacked, but was again thrown this time, Sam tumbling over him. 32. Neal fetched Sa:n a sousing nobber. Sam stag gered ; but, bitting up with his right, he floored Neal. 33. Neal down against in an instant. 34. Neal again hit out, was stopped, and floored di rectly. 35. Sam walked quite firm and erect to the scratch : Neal was carried, but, when there, stood his ground well. Sparring. Sam muzzled him again,. and . threw him un der the rop es . • , • 36. Neal planted a blow on Sam's chest, but the pheno menon h:t him over the left ear, and laid him sprawling under the ropes. " Take him away from being mur dered," said Sam's friends; but Neal would not listen to any suck tiling, 37. In a rally, Sam punched Neal's head, and, by a stunning blow on the month, threw him on his back un der the ropes. 38. Sam fought on beautifully, and, with little exer.• lion, knocked Neat again under the ropes. " lie will be killed unless you take him away !" No answer, and no sign of giving in. 39. Sam hit Neal one of his geometrical short-cut blows in the chest, and, after that, one with the other hand in the middle of the face, that made the blood gush from his nose, and laid him low. 40. Neal recovered wonderfully well, rising every time, like Anti:eus, with renewed strength from the earth, but Was not in condition to do himself ju , itice, for at the end of a violent attack he went down again, us if irretrievably doomed to this lot. 41. As before, Neal again commenced offrnsivo opet•a tione-bit Sam on the eye, and both went down on die r hangs and knees. 42. Neal hit Sam on the chest, who rallied, and by a belly-bander brought Neal to the ground. 43. Another sharp bout-Neal hit under the ropes. 44. Neal rose, walked to the scratch, and made a desperate round of it ; a t t h e en d of which he staggered, and fell under the rop es w i t h out a b low. a r t e i t e ed the a tt ac k ; Sam seized"hi m , jobbed 45. Neal treated S a m t o anot h er stomacher, but down we nt46 Neal from lfg renewed . him, and brought him heavily to the ground. 47. Neal retreated, advanced again, and terminated his career in the usual way, by a fall. 48. Neal fetched Sam another vicious blow, and was '"elled under the ropes.-2 to 1 were offered against his getting up again. 49. Neal, as usual, resumed the attack, and finished by going down. 50. Neal gave Stun n topper.-Sam advanced, bit up, -Neal stopped him well. In the close both down, Sam bleeding freely from the mouth. 51. Surd, in a close, fell over Neal. said Dick Curti;. 52. Neal made fine play-touched Sans sharply, and repsatedly, but succumbed at last from sheer weakness. 53. Neal punched the side of Sam's head--retreated, and went down voluntari:y.-(" Foul, foul," from Sana's friend. " No chaff-goon.") 54. Neal belaboured Sam again with hits, but ended in the usual way. 55. Neal's right eye appeared to be wholly closed, and his left to admit but little light; still he stood it like bricks and mortar, and, when he could no longer stand it, went down to save himself from worse usage. 56. Sam danced about actively-Neal stood firm, acd fell only after a blow this time. 57. seal had now gradually picked up, and fought this round with great gallantry. He pitched it into Sam both right and left, but, owing to his right hand being what puffed, he could not counter effectively, and make it tell in his usual decisive manner ; lw therefore again let himself down to escape worse punishment. 58. Neal was instantly floored. 59. Neal went to work with his usual spirit, but, 1111. able to do any mischief, he wisely avoided Sam's hanging' his battered mug by going down, for which his exhausted state always pleaded a sufficient apology. 60. Sam continued to hammer sway at Neal's upper works, and pressed him by his straight-forward hits of one two, till he fell. 61. Neal, as game as ever, returned to the charge, but, being worsted, fell on his back and kicked Lis heels up. 62. Sam repeated his Visitation on Ne.il's dreadfully disfigured countenance, till his prostrate position exempted him from further molestation. 63. Sam floored Nesl again, though not till be himself hid received a heavy muzzier. 64. Neal gave, this trip, some sousing thumps to Mas ter Sam, who staggered on the ropes from the effects of a snuffler he received from Neal's left. Had Neal now had his lost weight of flesh on him this round might have proved decisive in changing the fortune of war, but, as it was, Neal tumbled down first, and Sam over him. 65. Neal made another good round of this; he pitched in upon Sam's ivory, and made mouth bleed more profusely than it had done d ur i ng th e wi., 9l € ofthe fight. However, lie dropped Neal after all. 66. Neal floored again in a twinkling. A eggs, and fight between one of Sam's friends and a sportsman elov`e• to us divided our attention for a moment. 67. The same fate again attended Neal. 68. Sam hit out tremendously with his blood reeking right hand, and floored Neal again. 69. Similar to the last. 70. Neal, though far spent, rallied his energies, and inflicted two fearful muzzlers on Sam's pretty face, that made his mouth look awry for a moment. " Bravo, Neal !" resounded from various parts, at the very moment Sam grassed him again. 71. Sam, on coming to the scratch, had not yet reco vered the serenity of his countenance, when he got Neal's head under his arm, and fibbed it severely. Both went down, Neal undermost; still, on the whole, it was a 'con siderable change in favour of Neal. 72. Neal attacked, and indicted as much punishment as he was able on :Sam, but being too far gone, he lost his balance, and went down. 73. Sam made a lunge at Neal's head, hit up right AO left, and brought him under the ropes. 74. Though Sam retreated, Neal, in following him up, dropped from sheer weakness and exhaustion. 75. Neal was made to retreat in his turn, and fell, though not without resistance. 76. Neal gave Sam a tap or two. Sam got his bead in chancery, and fibbed him till be fell. 77. Neal countered beautifully; he floored even Sam, though he fell himself ; but it was the expiring snuff of a candle. 101. were offered to half a crown on Sam's winning. "It is all safe," 78. Sam aimed a blow at Neal's almost already wholly darkened eye. Both exchanged blows, and hit each other in the face ; Neal's, however, having been previously mast maltreated, felt the punishment most. He went down from Sam's last blow, and could not come to time again, Sam was therefore declared conqueror amidst the deafening shouts of his friends, after a battle of 78 rounds, which, as Falstaff say, " lasted about an hour and three-quarters by Shrewsbury clock," or, more correctly speaking, 102 minutes, or one hour and 42 minutes. Neal was led to his carriage, where his friends bestowed on him all thew attentions he now stood so much in need of. RIMARLI. It is expected that Neal will this day make his appearance at his benefit, which takes place at three o'clock, at the Tennis Court, Windmill-street, Hay market, where no doubt all the lovers of sport will be anxious to sympathise with a brave, though un fortunate man, who in a moment of overweening confidence suffered himself to be persuaded to an injudicions match against one of the most accom plished prize-fighters of the day, and upon terms which common prudence ought to have instantly re jected. We hope he may be well enough to bear the removal in his present state, but fear that his condition, on account of the severe punishment ha received, may not permit any such hazardous experi ment. It is confidently asserted that he is again to be matched with Sam without any limitation as to weight. We can easily conceive that a man ac customed to a long series of success cannot well brook such a disappointment, and sincerely trust that the effects of his reducing himself on the late oc casion may not prove a permanent injury to his con stitution. His resent disaster is deeply deplored by his numerous friends, all of whom were so confident at success that, we understand, ow the evening of the fight, he was backed in London at the enormous odds of three and four to one. We cannot close this account without paying a just tribute to the great skill and extraordinary pugilistic accomplish ments displayed by Sam in this (to him) most glorious battle. He is an excellent hitter, an ex ceeding good judge of distances and generalship, cool, collected, brave, and elegant as a tighter; and if he does not wantonly trifle with his constitution, but suffers his bodily powers to attain their full per fection, he will, no doubt, at no very distant period, reach the top of the tree, and be a match to any hero of the fist. He should be particularly cautious not to sacrifice his energies to the attractive dissipa tions of a life in London; and as he has never been beaten yet, not prematurely to overmatch himself, a rock on which many a good man has split before. A second fight was to take place in the same ring at Ludlow, between Stockman and some West country pugilist ; but being anxious to return im mediately after the decision of Sam and Neal's battle with all expedition to London, we could not stay a moment,but hastened away straight from the ground, without returning even to the town of Ludlow. But having given already a very voluminous and detailed account of that battle, we must defer our further ob servations to a future occasion. At the Assizes, at Bury St. Edmunds, or, Tuesday, Thomas CnuttcnvAitn was charged with felo niously killing ELIZABETH Squirtase, This case, from the mysterious circumstances under which the death of the unfortunate woman occurred, and the fact of a knife being discovered buried in her side after death ; of which the surgeons bad no suspicion, and of which she herself appeir ed to be ignorant while alive, excited general and deep interest, and caused the Court to be extremely crowded. The prisoner was a middle-aged man, rather tall, with fresh complexion, but exceedingly hard-favoured counte nance. His look was, cold and sinister—such as is sup posed to indicate an absence of the kindlier inst'fics of our nature. The Grand Jury having thrown out the bid fur murder, the prisoner was arraigned only for tlie-Jnan slaughter, both on the indictnwnt and the Carenor'e quisition. After an unusual ',lengthened trial, lie wge found Not Cuilty. • ct ~i
