CHARGE OF ASSAULT. AI Thema* Wi ll i ams was i n di cte d for violently assaulting 4 , 41 7 Bu c k s , his wife ' s apprent i ce, to which indictment he P l eaded "Not Guilty." 1, E Air.

The e k t,.litrix came home on th e fi rst o f October v er y muc h so I l itted, and having marks o . fo rs ', Mr. Williams called about a quarter of . an . hour t he- I n a great passion, a n d as k e d i f she ha 4 seen ner daughter? Witness replied in the negative; and he then said she should not alarm herself, but her daughter had taken up a two pound loaf in his name, and he had taken it upon himself to give her a good sound horse-whipping. This closed the case for the plaintiff. Mr. PHILLirs then addressed the Jury for the de fendant, and said it was a most unfortunate thing. for his client that he had such a girl as the prosecutrix palmed upon his wife ; she had been taken with half the usual premium, and he should prove that she had been always most kindly treated. He should also prove that she was unworthy of belief upon her oath, by the evidence of her own uncle, who turned , her out of his house for theft, and would state that she was a very abandoned creature. The uncle, Mr. Buck, being called, would go no farther than to say, that in some things he would not believe her upon her word ; and on his cross-examination he admitted, that she was entitled to some property, and that an action had been commenced against him upon her behalf. • Harriett Stuart, another witness deposed, that she was in the house at the time of the assault complained of, and heard no screams whatever. It was also intimated, that when she was bound the aunt authorized the prisoner to horsewhip her whenever he thought proper. This aunt wee wife to the former witness. Mr. PHILLIPS said, he could prove that she had always been most kindly treated by the prisoner, and had had plenty of food, the same as the rest of the family. The CHAIRMAN, however, thought such evidence was not to the purpose, and it was therefore not entered into. . - Mr. BARRY, in reply, contended that the defence set up was a serious aggravation of the original injury; and The CHAIRMAN, in his charge to the Jury, said that the horsewhipping a female was most unwarrantable; and that he had done so was clear, for he in fact , gloried in it, for he told the mother that he had given her a good sound horsewhipping.—The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. The CHAIRMAN inquired what might be the cost of the prosecution, and being told it was between 4/. and bl, he sentenced the defendant to pay a tine of 81., with li berty to speak to the prosecutrix. He also said, the con duct of the proeecutrix was so far provoking-, that he thought he was doing justice by merely granting her expenses. wigiam I : h o my Williams, John Farrell, and William Wyatt, were indicted for keeping a disorderly house, called the Pavilion Theatre, in Baker's-rosy, Whitechapel. Mr. ALLEY said that the defendants, one of whom (Mr. Wyatt) was absent, had kept the theatre in question open for the sake of gain, and there had music, dancing, &c. although the house was not duly licensed, as it ought to have been at the Quarter Sessions, according to 25th of George the Second. Mr. AnoLruns objected that the indictment was drawn at common law, whereas the offence was against the statute, and the indictment should have been of course under the statute. Keeping a disorderly house was an offence at common law, but it was because the common law could not reach such theatrical amusements as those complained of that the statute of George the Second was passed. The keeping this theatre open was as offence against the statute, but the defendants were not indicted under the statute, and could not, therefore, be convicted. This objection was held to be good, and the defendants were of course acquitted. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. s.—The Maidstone frigate, Commodore Skipsey, continues under orders (with strong foul winds), for the Cape of Good Hope and Eastern Coast of Africa, command ; the Hasty schooner, for the Mauritius, in company. The Britomart, 10, Capt. R. H. Manners, this day sailed for Plymouth. Yesterday the Royalist, Lieut. Robilliard, arrived with marines from Ply mouth ; and this day the Arrow, Lieut. S.

He did not, however, make his appearance until nearly the commencement of the pantomime, attended by Earl Mountcharles, and some three or four foreign gentlemen, apparently natives of Por tugal, when the performers instantly burst forth into God Save the King," which was most vociferously eaned fo r by the audience. The following appro priate verse was added by Madame Vestris for the occasion Welcome to Britain's Isle, Where Freedom love's to smile, Miguel the Brave ; And When your reign commence Al a . ~ ve every heart evince A' kr their Noble Prince, God save the King ! His Royal Highness was loudly cheered 1)04 on entering and quitting the Th eatre , an d seem ed much Pleased with the various div ert i ng tricks and inci dents in the pantomime. The play was " The Man of the World," in which Young undertook the difficult part of Sir Pertinax Mac Sy co ph an t, with more ability and less mannerism than usual. He was much and deservedly applauded throughout. NENVGATE AND LEADENHALL MARKETS.

The supply of Wheat and Flour last week was consider able, but of most other articles there were moderate quan tities. This morning there is not much Grain of any de scription fresh up. The Wheat trade fully supports the terms last quoted for the fairest descriptions, but other sorts still meet a dull sale. The hest parcels of Barley sell on rather better terms than of late, but not sufficiently so to alter the quotations. Beans that are dry command at tention at late prices, but damp parcels sell heavily.— Pease of both kinds meet a slack demand, but the prices are unaltered. The quantity of Oats is much less - than of late, and this trade has maintained the late quotations.— In consequence of the late considerable accession to the supply of Flour, this article now meets a dull sale. Rape seed is very little in demand, at 28/. to 29/. per last. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) ------ 52;f - Acs. (old) Ws.

OF THE PRINCIPAL ARTICLES OF EAST AND WEST INDIA, AMERICAN, AND OTHER PRODUCE INTO LIVERPOOL, (Except Coastwise) In the years 1823 to 1827, inclusive;—with the stocks estimated to remain on hand at the close of each year. • LIVERPOOL, DEC. 31, 1827.."X0TT0N. —Throsighout the whole of the past year there •has been a regular and steady demand from the dealera and spinners, and occa sionally from speculators, but the supply having been con stantly more than equal to . the;wants of the 'buversf the prices of most kinds (with the exception of a trifling 'im provement in November) have been gradually declining. They now rate Id. to lid. per lb. lower in Bowed, Mobile, and the lower qualities of Orleans ; in good and Aisne Orleans ; Id. to J. in Brazil and - West India, andld. in East India descriptions than .our quotations this iime last year. In Sea Island th ere h as b een snore fluctuation, but this description and Egyptian maintain those By reference . will appear that the imports have:ex ceeded those of 1825 by 312,400 bags; the most striking excess is in those from the United States, which..are .in -creased 251,770 bags, being a larger quantity than 'was ever received from thence in any preceding year by 198,800 bags. Although the supply from Brazil has in creased 64,500 . bags, it is less considerably than the usual average import from thence. From the East and West Indies there is also an increase of 22,300 bags, but from Egypt there is a falling off of 26,170 bags. The exports have been less than in 1826, by 22,840 bag, the continental markets having been abundantly sup plied by direct importations; but there is no evidence.of material variation in the consumption of. Cotton on.the Continent of Europe daring the past year. - The stocks of the ports are 110,000 bags larger than at this period list year, this excess being only one-thitd of the increase of imports. _ _ There have been taken out of the ports for the consump tion of the country 709,460 bags, a quantity exceeding that of last year by 151,460 bags ; but allowing the stocks in the hands of the dealers and spinners to be about 30,000 bags more than at the end of 1826 (which is by many considered to be over-rated), the weekly consumption will appear to have been equal to 13,060 bags, or an increase of 2,000 bags. The weekly consumption for the last-five years will then rate as follows :..1823, 10,730 bags -1824, 11,630 bags-1825, 11,844 hags-1826, 10,150 bags-1827, 13,080 bags. This increase is equal to rather more than 25 per cent. upon last year, and though large, it is not in a greater ratio than has taken place in former years, when there was a corresponding reduction in the prices. The very low rates at which Cotton manufactures and Twist have been sold throughout the whole year, have pro duced an extraordinary activity in the market for goods for home consumption as well as for export. The demand for goods continues at present unabated, and should the prices •f Cotton remain low, there is not apparently much reason to apprehend a decrease in the consumption. The export of Twist does not appear to have exceedad that of last year so much as was expected, brit the exact quantity cannot be ascertained yet. Though the crop of Cotton in the United States is stated to be abundant, it is not considered to be so large as that of last year ; and as very little of the old crop was left on hand at the end of the last season, it is expected that we shall re ceive considerably less from America during the present year than in 1827. From Brazil there does not seem reason to expect more than an average import. The low prices of East India may prevent large shipments from thence, and the present unsettled state of Egypt renders supplies from that quarter very uncertain. Mex.—The supply of Carolina Rice to this Port in the last three years (which is not one-half of what it used to be previously), does not differ materially, and the stocks on hand are trifling, compared with those at the close of 1824 and 1823. Of East India Rice we have received 27,500 bags, against 6900 in 1826, and 6200 in 1825, and the stock now on band here is large in proportion, viz. 15,000, against 5500, and 5300 at the close of 1825. The pre sent prices for Carolina are 2s. and East India ss. per cwt. lower than those at the close of 1826 and 1825. The im port of American Rice to the kingdom is 7500 casks and 162,000 bushels in the husk, against 7300 casks and 120,000 bushels in the husk in 1826, and the present stock 500 casks, against 1000 at Christmas 1826, beside some quantity in the husk each year. The duty on the - tatter being only 2s. 6d. per bushel, and a method now being found of cleaning it in this country equal to any cleaned in America, and grocers supply themselves from that descrip tion principally, which is the cause of so much being im ported. The total quantity of East India received is 74,000 bags in 1827, against 49,100 in 1826, and the stock now 63,600 against 43,000, at the close of 1826. TOBACCO.—The import to Liverpool in the past year has been rather more than into London, and the supplies to the two ports have been in 1827, 19,570 against 17,200 in 1826, 27,700 in 1825, and 111,200 lards. in 1624. The present stocks in the kingdoM are estimated at 40,700 hhds. against 41,500 at the close of 1626, 43,600 in 1825, and 29,000 in 1824. The stocks on the Continent are computed to be 32,600 against 26,000 last year, 24,000 in 1825, and 45,000 at `he close of 1824. There does not appear to have been any material variation in the deliveries for home use at this port and London for the past two years, but the exports of 1827 have exceeded those of 1826 from the two ports by nearly 1,300 hhds. ; prices of Leaf have declined and now rule id. to Id. per lb. be low those at the close of 1826, but in Stemmed (except ing in the better descriptions, which are id. to Id. per lb. lower), there is no particular variation. Thu, —The import and deliveries for home consump tion for the kingdom, and the stocks on hand at the close of last year and the four preceding, were ,as follows : Import. 1827. 1826. 1825. 1824. 1823. Brls. 117,500 108,500 85,100 110,200 114,000 Home Consumption. Brls. 99,500 90,900 82,600 115,400 104,000 Stocks. This. 66,300 48,000 37,000 49,200 This article has been subject to great fluctuation during the past year, having at one period brought 4s. to ss. per brl. more in American descriptions than the present rates. Baltic Tar now rules Is. to Is. 6d. per brl. higher than at the close of 1826, but American is Is. to 2s. per brl. lower TURPENTINE.-The Imports, Home Consumption, and Stocks at the close of each , ear for the past five years, were as follows : Import to the Kingdom. 1827. 1826. 1825. 1824. 1823. Brls. 139,700 74,800 132,850 173,000 132,800 Home Consumption. Brls. 147,700 104,700 123,850 132,000 110,950 Stocks. Irls. 53,500 61,500 82,000 75,000 32,000 The import to the kingdom has been nearly double that of the preceding, but the general stocks are less than they were at the commencement of last year, thus showing an increase of consumption, which at this port has been greater than in any preceding year since 1824. In prices there has not been any material variation during the last half year, but they were higher in the early part of the year, in consequence of extensive speculations having been entered into: they now rule about Is. per cwt. below those of time 31st December, 1826. PIMENTO.—The supplies of this article have again been light to this port, only 700 bags more than in 1826, :and 400 snore than in 1825. But into Great Britain gene rally about 20,500 bags and barrels have been received, against 12,500 in 1826, and 15,000 in 1825. There having been a corresponding increase in the delivery for exportation and for home use, the stocks now in the king dom appear to be 3,500 bags and barrels, against 2,650 at the close of 1826 : and 4,800 in 1825. Prices have ruled on the whol:: without much variation throughout the year, and now rate about 44. per pound lower than at Christmas, 1826. Sidt - iAR.-The total import of Sugar from the British Colonies in the West Indies, appeals to have been 30,600 casks less in 1827 than in 1826, and 17,400 casks less than the average of 1822 to 1826, the average import of which five years was 256,000 casks. The falling off in the import in the past year has been principally front Ja maica and Antigua ; from Demerara there has been an in crease. The import from Mauritius has fallen off, and from Bengal it has been the same as in former years: the total supply from these sources in 1827niay be considered equal to 22,000 hhds. The following account shows the quan tity imported from beyond the Cape for the last ten years, with th e quant i ty exporte d an d ta k en f o r home use in ea c h year : In the yearn 1818 1819 1820 1821 1822 Imported Tons 8120 10260 13860 12200 11000 Exported 5540 9410 9330 8100 5500 Consumed inGt Britain 1238 49 70 4166 5900 6600 In the years 1823 18 24 1825 1826 1837 Imported Tons 11000 13000 12700 16550 14750 Exported 5200 7600 3500 4200 5000 Consumed inGt Britain _ 5000 7500 82001100013000 The import of MOLASSES has considerably exceeded that of any former year from the British Colonies, having amounted to 39,800 casks in 1827, against 28,500 in 1826, 33,000 in 1925, 24,400 in 1824, 18,600 in 1828, and 6,000 in the average of the three preceding years. The, whole of this import has been converted into Bastard Sugar , and Treacle; and the stock of Molasses in the kingdom is' now only about 5,000 casks. The export of Refined Sugar does not appear to have been diminished by the reduction of 4s. 7d. per cwt. in the drawback or bounty which took' Place in the spring of 1826; the quantity exported in 1827 appears to have been about 16,000 tons, in 1826 about 17,000, in 1825 about 16,000, and in 1824. about 16,000 tons. The exports of `Raw Sugar to Ireland have been rather smaller in the past year than in 1826; to the Continent of Europe it has been very limited. Al though the supply of British Plantation Sugars to Great 'Britain has been so much diminished, the stocks remaining in the ports are only 12,000 casks less than they were this time last year, so that the're appears to hive been a consi derable fair% off in the Consumption. This is attributed to the advance in the .prices which took place as soon as the. diMinution of supply , i4a ascertained ; in the first quarter Sugar ruled at 535. to 565., i n thein f: 18 2 5 7 psanriceein of Brown s at 625. to 655. and they are now 595. to 625, per cwt. The imports of Foreign Sugar have been augmented in 1827, Owing to the expectation that they would be permitted tube used by the Refiners on favour able terms; the total' quantity imported has been 22,600 boxes Havannah and 5,100 chests Bras% against t 13,500 boxes Havannah and 1,000 chests Brasil in 1826 ; the 'quantity on which duty was paid by the. Refiners appears to have been only about 1,000 tons,. and the stocks being now only about 8,600 boxes and 1,800 chests, the prin cipal part of the above import has been re-exported. COFFEE.—It appears that the total quantity of c o ff ee imported into Great Britain from all parts in 1827 has been 20,000 tons, against 18,500 tons in 1826, 23,500 in 1825, 21,300 in 1824, and 20,200. in 1823. The stocks now remaining in bond in all the ports, amount to 14,000 tons of West India, East India, and all descrip tions of Foreign, against 13,500 tons at the end of 1826, 15,000 at the end of '1825, and 9,000 at the end of 1824. The quantity exported in the past year has been 14,000 tons of all sorts ; in 1826 it was 15,000, in 1825 it was 12,200, and in 1824 it was 17,500 tons. The prices of this article have rated lOs to 12.5. per cwt. lower than they did in 1826 ; but as the stocks in the principal markets of Europe were so heavy as to make it ap parent that, the supply had exceeded the consumption, there has not appeared any dispositiott to speculate, even at the present very 'reduced prices. The home consump tion continues to be progressively increasing iu this coun try; the quantity on which the duty was paid in Great Britain in the past year having been 6,500 tons, against 5,750 in 1826 and 4,700 in 1825, when the duty was re duced from 12d. to 6d. per lb. ; previous to that period the annual consumption only amounted to 3,300 toss. The moderate price' at which duty-paid Coffee is now sold, has entirely destroyed the extensive traffic which was carried on by the preparers and venders of roasted grain as a sub stitute for Cof f ee three or four years since. In the Euro pean markets the supplies of Coffee have exceeded those of any former year; but the stocks at present existing, are stated not materially to exceed on the whole those which remained at the end of 1826, so that if the growth doe! not go on increasing, the consumption may soon again keep pace with the supply. ' Rum.—The total import in 1827 to the kingdom con siderably exceeds that of any. of the preceding years, but tilt deliveries having been large also, the aggregate stock non remaining in the ports is rather less than at this season o' former years. The total delivery in the last five years ap pears to have been as follows, viz.:— 'For home use in 1827...30,200 punchs...Export 21,000 ... Total. 51,200 1826...31,000 18,800 —.52,800 1E25-19,900 17;000 36,900 1821...23,000 22,000 45,000 1823-22,000 19,000 41,000 The above statement shows a decrease in the quantity take!, for home use, compared with 1826, arising from the cir cumstance of the duty being reduced on the sth January that year, which was known to the dealers some time pre viously would take place, and they had eonsequenth throughout the country run themselves quite bare of stock, as already noticed in our Price Current. That there is a considerable increase in the quantity of Rum consumed in Great Britain is evident, and may be seen by the deliveries for the last five years. Very little of this increase can be. attributed to the use of it in our distilleries, Corn spirit, having rated much lower and seem likely to continue so.— The good and fine quantities of Jamaica and Demerara met with a ready sale for the borne trade throughout the year, particularly the strong descriptions, which now rate 641. to Bd. per gallon higher than at the close of 1826. Cocon.—We have received here a considerable in crease of supply ; but there remains proportionably only small excess of stock. Notwithstanding the low prices which have ruled throughout the year, very few export orders have appeared in our market, and the .deliveries have• been principally shipments made for importers' accounts. The home consumption, although the duty has been re duced to 6d. per lb. since July 1825, increase very littly, being only 160 tons in 1827, against 110 tons in 1826 ; and the quantity taken for the use of the navy in the twn last years has been limited. The aggregate import to the kingdom is estimated at 1500 tons, against 950 only in 1826, smut 1200 tons in 1825, and the stock now 1000 tons, against 1150 at Christmas 1826, and 1050 in 1825. The present quotations are ss. for Brazil and 12s. pl. cwt. Ibr British Plantation lower than those at the close 4.f 1826. GINGER.-The supply of West India Ginger to thi, port is the same as that received in 1826, being conside rably more than that in the three preceding years. Th( consumption being limited, the stock on hand is large ; prices, however do not rate materially lower than at the close of 1826, but they are 50s. to 60s. per cwt. below those at this season of former years. Of East India the import and stock for the last three years have been se trifling as not to be deserving of notice. The import t. the kingdom of West India is 9,850 hags and brie. against 14,000 in 1826, and 6,800 in 1825, and the pre sent stock 4,500, against 5,200 at the close of 1826, anC 3,300 at the corresponding period of 1825. PEPPER.-There is a small increase in the import to the kingdom, viz, about 55,000 bags, &c. against 50,000 in 1826, and 71,000 in 1825. The stocks on hand are con sequently larger, and are estimated to be now about 76,000 against 63,000 at the close of 1826, and 42,600 in 1825. The holders having been pressing sales, price, have for some time past been giving way, and now rate Id. per lb. lower than they were a year ago, and fully 2d. per lb. lower than at the close of 1825.

Grinding Barley is a shade Tower, and Oats are further depressed id. to Id. p er 451hs. The demand for Boiling Pease is quite trifling ; the Bean trade is likewise dull.

On Wednesday last, as Dick Curtis and his pal, Young Dutch SaM, were walking down Blackfriars-road, their atteption was attracted by a gentleman complaining of having been struck by the long whip of a coal heaver, who was flourishing it about in the usual careless manner.— Remonstrances only produced impertinence; but almost at the same .moment Young Dutch Sam having received a similar accidental touch, he exclaimed in turn against the conduct of the Black Diamond Merchant. He, too, had his share of abuse, when the Pet stepped forward and significantly said, " If you don't mind what you are about, yo u may get well thrashed !" " Will you do it ?" said Cody. " Perhaps I might," answered the Pet—whose buckish costum e and small figure, gave but little promise of a very troublesome customer; and especially as Cualy nearly twelv e stone, while the Pet, everybody knows, does not weigh above nine stone. " We'll soon see that," ex claimed Codiy, and off went his jogs in a twinkling,.--- 'lNothing loth," Dick doffed his' coat and caster with equal quickness ; and out they went into the road, Dick se conded by young Dutch Sam, and Coalg by his brother whip. THE FIGHT. Round 1. The position of both men was admirable at standing to their points; and 'Coctly, from the well poised form of his mawleys, shelved that he was no novice. Little time was lost in deliberation, when Dick let fly with his right on Coaly's larboard ogle;' but Cooly was " down," and countered i rt fine style, giving Dick a nasty one above the left blinker. Dick matte another lunge, but was again countered heavily. Dick now tried his left, popped in a muzzier, and Cooly went down. 2. Both came up in due time, when Dick, after a little manouvring, delivered another tremendous crack on Coal's eye; but again was countered in the mouth, his nob being; fearfully shook. Good bitting followed right and left, neither flinching, till at last, in making a right hander, Dick fell from the force of his own blow. The coal, heavers were now in eestacies, and Dick found he had hii work to do. S. Dick manoeuvred to get ont of the way of Con(Vs heavy returns, but Cody was with him, and was always prepared to hit with him, and counter hits were again given —the left eye.of Cody beginning to sw e ll. Dielere treated, hut being stopped by a waggon, which was drawn up, was forced to fight ; he delivered heavily, but in re turn caught a smack with the left, which knocked his eannister against the wheel, and completely deranged his judgment seat. He, however, got away, went to work with spirit, and Cody was hit down. 4. Dick now saw his game was a difficult one, and he called for more " elbow room," and nobbed the black 'vu several times in succession. " Cy don't you fight toe to toe ?" exclaimed the diamond-merchant. " Because it don't suit," replied Dick, and in went his left upon his domino-case. The friends of Coaly now resolved to hens Dick in, so that he should not get away from the heavy fives of his opponent, and closed in for that pnrpose.- -Young Dutch Sam, seeing one more active in this effort than the others, -dealt him a smack on the nozzle whirls operated as a sufficient ." notice to quit," and he took his ticket" without delay. Dick then continued his mode of out fighting, and paid so many visits to Coaly's larboard ogle, that it was quite closed ; but still Dick had his returns, and both his glisteners were puffed. Coaly, still game, came up with firmness ; Dick again got away ; but was once more stopped by a waegon. Coale• then caught him by the neck, and hit away at his body with his right. Dick droppeithis elbow, and s topp e d th e ()lows ; and at length, watching his opportunity, he slipped up his left, caught Coaly by the thatch on his nob, and hit him up with his right with great severity, cutting a grisly gash ors his cheek. Cushy went down. 5. More good fighting on both sides, but the science of Dick enabled him to punish his man in fine style, jobbing and getting away, and cutting bins on the brow and ear. The clieet now flowed abundantly, and Dick had a most tragic look from the deluge of blood which flew from his antagonist. While still at work, Coaly's friend, who had vanished so quickly, returned, and seeing Sam's head turned towards Dick, he administed an unexpected smack on hie nob as a return for his compliment in the third rotr a d. Sam, though taken by surprise, turned to his assailant, and catching him as he was retreating in a harry, gave him three or four up hits, which satisfied his propensity for milling, and he was seen no more. The ring was again closing in to Dick's disadvantage, when Bill Savage very opportunely arrived, and once more turned the scale; with his aid the throng was again forced out—and Dick having thus a fair chance for the exercise of his tactics, soon con vinced Coaly that he had not a chance, and that he had 6' got the wrong sow by the ear." About five more rounds were fought with vigour, but Cody being blind of one ogle, foggy in the other, and gra dually getting weaker on the pins, while Dick preserved his strength, it was seen he had not a chance—still he would not say " enough" and stood up to be punished tilt he was completely " bowled out," candidly confessing, at last, that he was out fought. He was conveyed to a putilit, house, where he was washed, and ultimately sent home tat a coach, discovering, for once at least, that impudence may at length reap its just reward. ItI:3IARX S. Coaly was evidently a game man, and by no means a stranger to the use of his fists, which he used equally well, right and left. In fact, at first Dick had the worst of it, and but for his good generalship might have- come off second best. Dick describes Coaly's bloles as tremendously heavy, and acknowledges he never met a rougher customer. After the battle was over he was so covered with blood that he was constrained to change shirts at a friend's in the neighbourhood ; and such was the triumph among the higher orders at his success, that he had great difficulty in escaping from their friendly congratulations. The fight lasted about twenty minutes, and was witnessed by an im— mense crowd of all ranks. To any commoner, and, indeed, to many stars in the fistic hemisphere, Coaly would have proved a formidable opponent. Ile has received a lesson, however, which may be useful to him in future, and p e r_ hags teach him to keep his whip and his tongue under b e t ter controul. Dick's hands were greatly swollen, and bore test;toonv to the hardiness of his antagonist's head. }its eyes on; a l se , in mourning.
