They are both descendafats of eminent men in theirdine ; and, although Belcher had lost before,' there were many Gentlemen ama teurs who were anxious to see him again enter the lists With the same antagonist. A purse of 25 guineas was conseqUently made up, and the fight took place yesterday at Layname Borough, on the furthtr side. of Shepperton, about 22 Miles from town. Beforea blow was struck the odds ran six to four in favour of' Ryan, as he was the stronger than, and had won be fore. , Both parties set to with great spirit, and both of them sparred in a very pretty manner, - the defen sive and offensive being nearly equal fora consider able length of time. 4t the eighth round, how ever, tke odds began to turn. From that time to the gad round the odds gradually increased in favour of Belcher. After that ten to one was laid on his head, and bets could hardly be got. But Ryas: stood up manfully to the last, though it was evident that he had lust the battle long betbre he gave m, The fight cotnmenced at twelve, and at twenty mi mites befofe one it was endod, thirty rounds having then been fought.. The science of the descendant of Slack prevailed over the strength and bottom of the son of the man who . is known to have made a most courageous staml-against Johnson. They both strike quick and straight ; lent , it was ob served, that Ryan was in bad condition, n the fighters term it, that is, that he had lived an irre gular life, had totally negle6ted himself, aid did not possess that strength of sinew which he' did at the last battle; while, on the other hand, it wa; known that Tom Belcher had increased in weight, in strength, and in knowledge. A vast deal of mo ney, however, ..was laid upon the presumption that he who had won before was likely to do so again. But at the clot ofthe fight Ryan was obliged to be carried away' bet weeu two It while T.

Were. any repre.ientations at any tune made to you by any body, of the circumstance of money issued tO the Bank for Navy Services being drawn from thence, and lodged Iri theihands of a private Banker or Bankers ?-1 have a general recolleaion, that . Mr. Itaikes, one of the Bank Directors, and I believe either Governor or Deputy Governor at the time, took some . occasion to mention to me, that he believed sums were drawn from the Bank to a larger amount than he supposed to be iteceSsary, and carried to a private Banker's ; but no memorandum or document of any sort was given to me ; and at this distance of thne, I can only state the substance of what passed very generally, and cannot undertake with any precision to. recollect the particulars. Had you any combaunication with the Treasurer of the Navy in consequence of *hat Mr. Raikes had told you ? -, -.Yes, I had ; I took :fit early Opportunity of stating to him the opinion which Mr. Raikes had expressed to me. What further passed,,on the snbje& ?.e-4 cannot state precisely .the conversation that took place .be tween us, but I was led to suppose from what pass ed, that the Treasurer. of the Navy.did not believe that any larger sums were drawn from the, Bank than such as were necessary for carrying on thede tail of the service in payments to indiViduals ; but I beg to have it understood, that. I cannot state with any precision the terms which were used, I only state the general impression left upon my mind. Was that general impression st.tch as to lead you to disbelieve the fia stated to you by Mr. Raikes, namely, that money was drawn from the Bank un der the authority of - the Treasurer of the Navy, and lodged at a private Banker's ?--7.1 . t did not leadineto disbelieve the fad . , that money Was.drawn from Ike Bank, and lodged at a private Banker's ; but it led me to believe that no other sums were drawn but such as were necessary for carrying en.* details of the service. Were you aware that such proceeding on the part of the .Tsesurer of the- Navy WAS irregular' was so far satisfied with the general statement so given me, that I made no flyther inquiry, and did not particularly advert to the provisions of the Ad of Parliament ; and it did not occur to my mind, that drawing such sums of money as were necessary for carrying on the details of the service was an illegal practice. , Did you take any steps to verify the statements made to you, by calling for an examination of any , bookS, accounts, or papers on the ‘subjea; ?—No ' I did not; I beg leave' to obeerVe, that I have already stated that-I 'was so far satisfied with the .general statement which treceived in conversation with the Treasurer of the'Navy, .that I made no 'further in , / quiry. Did you inform Mr..llaikes of the satisfaction you had obtained from your conversation with- the Treasurer of the Navy do net recoiled having after Wards any conversation with Mr. Raikes on the aubje&. - Did you inform any other of the public Servants, Or any of the Law Officers of the Crown, of the remmunicatiou that had been'made to you.by Mr. Raikes ?—No, I did not; no impression was left on my mind, after the conversation with the Treasurer of the Navy, to 'make me feel it necessary to take any steps on the subject. Although you did not knoW to what extent money was so drawn from the Bank by the Treasurer of the Navy, and lodged at a private Banker's, did you know the practice was continued ?- , 4 do not recol let knowing any thing 'afterwards on the subje&; . but I conceived, from the Treasurer of the Navy,'s conversation, that the pra&ice took place only as .necessaryfor carrying on the services, as I have al ready. explained. Did you investigate such necessity.?—No, I did not;- I relied en the opinion given me by the Trea surer of the. Navy, without further examination. Do you recoiled how soon after the conversation' with .Mr. Raikes, your conv-ersation with the Trea surer of the. Navy' took place ?—I do not recolle& with any certainty, but I believe very soon after ; probably on the nrbt occasion I had of conversing with .him,, when our attention was'nut engaged by other pressing business. _ Did - he state to.you any ground of the ncceBsity he alledgecl for placingthe money a private Ban ker's 1--I have already said, that I cannot, at this distance of time, reco44 the partictilars , A pasd; 'but I believe that he wa.4-1 his opinifin the impossibility of, carry ing. onvario.. , mews in any, other manner. Do you 1 - t..collet9. that the propriety of the revlsi,,*l of the existing laws on the bubjeet formed any part of that conversation ?—No,, I au persuaded it did not; he did not appear to toe to 113VC any impres sion on his mind that what was done was contrary to law. On what ground, as far as you can recollea ; did Itaikes make any communication to you on the subjea ?-r-I have al r eady stated that my recollection does not enable me to refer to the particulars of the -conversation, but 1 conceive him to have stated, that. he supposed money' to be withdrawn to a 'greater ,amount than was necessary for the public service. Had you any information at any time from any person, in any manner, of irregularity in the ma nagement of the, public money advancet for Navy Services besides the communication made by M. Itaikes ; or did you, in point of tad, luio . W . of any such irregOarities in :my other manner had no such intbrination besides that referred to, nor did know any thing further on the .11 . 1 - etli until; .at a pe riod long subsequent, I learne'd from Lord Harrowby, then Treasurer of, ;the Navy, that he thought the pr;t6lice wh;:h bad pievailzd irregular, and was taking . steps foratteriog it. Had you any conversation or correspondence with Lord Melville in consequence of such comtnunic4- tion train Lord Harrowby ?--;-No, I bad not.

Had you,,fr,,vigus to the above Inquiry, any knowledge of any sutn other than the 40,0061. stat ed to be . advanced to Mr. Bayd, being'at any thth diverted from the service of the Navy to pri r p o ., ze not naval ? , --.NOne whatever. Did Lord Harr°Wby tell you that be knew, or that he had reason to suppose, that profit, had been made of public money, issued for Naval Service I do not think he told me that he knew that it had. but he appeared to suppose that it Ofight have betin s . Were any steps taken by you 'to ascertain this fa& ?---No, there were not. .Had you known at the time that profits were de , rived from the public *money placed in the hands (,)f private Bankers, should you have deemed it irreDt lar and illegal, and consequently a pra&ice that ought immediately to have been stopped ?--4 ,hlttt.l certainly have deemed it a praiiice that ought i:n mediately to have been stopped. When Mr. Boyd infbrined you of the danger his house was in, and stated that danger to arise in part from the conduct of the Bank, did "you take any steps to inquire into the truth of such allegstiuu ? I do not reeolle& making any inquiry in conse quence of Mr. Boyd's representation. When the statementof difficulties Was made to you by the home of Boyd, did you take any steps to inquire, by your Self or others, irito the real Fop ctity of that house, before you consented to the a xance of 49,0001: ? ? --I did not make any:minute in quiry; bid I had a strong persuasion of the solidity of the house, and a belief that their di, culties woo.. only occasioned by the temporary scarcity of money and I did not hesitate to make the advande, because I conceived the security fotits re-payment to be un questionable.
