BOW-STREET.—Tnn TUUF.-Yesterday an inves tigation took place at this office which excited very consi derable interest in the sporting world, many of the most distinguished characters of which were present. Timothy O'Meara, Esq. for many years known on the Turf as a heavy better, was brought from St. Martin's watch-house before Mr. HALLS, and the charge entered in the watch-house book was as follows :—" For forcing his way into the private apartment of Lord Aliltown, at the Royal Hotel, St. James's -street, and endeavouring to ob tain money from his Lordship under false pretences." Mr. Harmer stated, that he appeared on behalf of Lord Miltown, and proceeded to examine the witnesses against Mr. O'Meara. M. Rushenoit &aid he was valet to Lord Miltown, who occupied apartments at the Royal Hotel, St. James's-street. On Sunday afternoon, about five o'clock, one of the waiters informed witness that Mr. O'Meara had called, and wanted to have an interview with Lord Miltown. Wit ness cemmunicated the fact to his master, who was in his bed-room dressing, and his Lordship sent a message to Mr. O'Meara, " that he was dressing and could not he seen ;" and the waiter delivered that answer to Mr. O'Meara. Witness soon afterward, heard a noise, and on going to ascertain the cause, he found Mr. O'Meara violently forc ing his way into his Lordship's room. Witness told Mr. O'Meara that he could not enter, and his Lordship could not be seen ; Mr. O'Meara replied that he would see his Lordship, and not fifty such fellows as witness and the waiter Lufton should prevent him going into the room. Mr. O'Meara entered his Lordship's sitting-room, and struck twice with his fist with great violence against his Lordship's dressing-room door, exclaiming, at the time, " Your Lordship is at home, anti I irAist upon seeing you ; I will not leave till I see you." Jr.ll Harin.er asked, if nothing was said about money by Mr. O'Meara? The witness replied that Mr. O'Meara said, " he would not be robbed of 5001. by such robbers as Lord Miltown and his brother, Mr. Leeson." Mr. O'Meara here exclaimed, " I'll bet ten to one I prove that to be false ; 1 said no such thing ; I said that I would not be robbed of 5001. with impunity by any man, whatever might be his rank." Thomas Lofton said that he was head waiter at the Royal Hotel, and confirmed the evidence of the last wit ness as to Mr. O'Meara going into Lord Miltown's room after he was told that he must not, and that his Lordship could not then see him ; witness saw Mr. O'Meara knock violently at his Lordship's bed-room door, and heard him declare that he would not leave the placeaill he saw his Lordship ; witness told Mr. .O'Meara that there were seve ral noblemen and persons of distinction in the hotel, and they must not be annoyed by his noise; Mr. O'Meara said he would not be robbed of 5001. with impunity, and he would see his Lordship; witness saw Mr. O'Meara with a betting-book in his hand, and be might have written therein, because he was waiting above half an hour before he was taken by the constable out of the hotel ; after Mr. O'Meara said he would not be robbed, Lord Miltown di rected a constable to be sent for, and Mr. O'Meara to be taken to the watch-house. Rushenoit, the valet, was again examined, and he said that when a constable arrived, Mr. O'Meara refused to go with him ; but be went with a patrol, who came subse quently, and witness gave charge of him at the watch house, by order of his master. Mr. O'Meara said, " I did not refuse to go with the first countable ;- I asked him his name, and be said it was Justice, and I told him that was the very thing I wanted." (Laughter). Mr. HALLS. —You shall have justice here, Mr. O'Meara. Mr. O'Meara. --I did not refuse to accompany the officer ; I was anxious to go to the watch-house, because I knew that the matter would consequently be fully inves tigated in public befor e a Magistrate, and that such investi gation, while it would net disgrace me, but show that I was the aggrieved party., would not redound much to the credit of the Noble Lord. I can get the constable (Justice) here in a short time,, and he will prove that I was willing to go with him to the watch-house ; I was most desirous of bringing the matter befor e the public, and am deter mined that the conduct of Lord Miltown shall be canvassed by the Jockey Club. Priest, a patrol, said that he was sent for to the Royal Hotel, about six o'clock on Sunday night, and Lord Mil ' town directed him to take the prisoner i n t o custo d y. H e t I h t t h h a e d hagainst attempted e p d r t i 0 - asked L a o l r ld d h lt i l s il L to , ; ti n sb w ip h , a re t p cil i i e a d rg ,e, part of th e c h arge en teredes:ntioeirrrt'.i i n n' t An h eT e 'yt sfr w s,o a al t in c d • watch- ti l 'h i n it t :s o e n bookionly on had been proved, viz. the prisoner's forcing himself into Lord Miltown's apartments. Mr. Harmer said that the charge of attempting to ex tort money had been made in the book by mistake. Ile (Mr. Harmer) had understood from Mr. O'Meara, since he came into the office, that he had won some money of Lord Miltown, at Ascot Races; but, if that were the fact, be had not proceeded in a proper manner to obtain it. Mr. HALLS said there was nothing in the charge against Mr. O'Meara in the absence of Lord Miltown, except that a trespass had been committed, but of that he could not take cognizance. Mr. b'Meara—l deny, Sir, that I even committed a LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 17, 1828. trespass. I WAS invited by Lord Miltown, both at Ascot, and at the Bell, at Windsor, after the Races, to visit him at his Hotel. I called in “onsequence of his Lordship's in vitation, and was repeatedly refused an interview. I wrote .t note to his Lordship on Saturday, in my betting book, and asked the servant to shew it to his Lordship. Mr. O'Meara here produced his betting-book, with the note an nexed as follows : " 5,000 to 200—Medora. " 3,000 to 100—Pedlar. "3 3 000 to 100 Pedlar. 0 4. " 700 to 100—Sambo. "My Loan—Having been invited by your Lordship at Epson), and again at Windsor, to call on you here, and having called several times since Ascot Races with Out being able to see you, and now understanding that your Lordship is about leaving England shortly, I beg leave to request you will he pleased to see me, and settle the above too long due account, or he pleased to say what time to-morrow will suit your Lordship to do so. I am, my Lord, &c. " T. O'MEARA." Mr. HALLS Said, that he had no objection to hear Mr. O'Meara ; but it was not necessary he should say any thing more, as there was nothing against him. Mr. O'Meara—l must be prrmitteil to explain. I have a wife and family, and am in the habit of visiting persons of the first respectability at the west end of the town, who have been informed, in all probability, that I was dragged, on Saturday last, along the streets like a felon, and locked lip in a watch-house. I trust, as there are gentlemen pre sent connected with the Press, that the true facts of this case will go before the public ; and I will take care that neither the Noble Lord, who is a levanter, nor his brother, shall plunder me ; at least the expose will deter them from acts of the kind in future. Mr. O'Meara then quitted the office. M. I.,tross,TE IN A the Sun of yesterday, it will he recollected we presented our readers with an ac- , count of an affair of honour between Mons. Pettit, the Ballet•master of the King's Theatre, and Mons. Laporte, the celebrated actor at the French Theatre. Leadbitter, the officer who took M. Pettit into custody, wrote a letter to Mor:. Laporte, and having stated the inutility of stay ing at Calais, M. Laporte was induced to return, and a short time after his arrival yesterday:he was brought to this office, and there held to bail to keep the peace towards Mons. Pettit and all Isis Majesty's subjeCts. It is not true, as we stated yesterday, that the quarrel originated at the Opera last week, in consequence of the ballet not being ready in time. The origin is not as yet known. INQUEST ON LORD MOUNT-SANDFORD. WINMOR, MONDAY ETENING.—This morning at nine o'clock the Jury sat pursuant to adjournment from Sa turday. Philip Spicer was the first witness called—He merely deposed to seeing the row, and a person knocked down; hut he thought it was a pickpocket quarrel, and did not meddle with them. Mr. Goodrich, keeper of the Saloon in Piccadilly, was also attracted by the row which took place opposite the Castle Inn. Sonic gentlemen quarrelled with two post boys for throwing water at them, and when the carriage drove off be ordered the gentlemen to go away ; but they were followed by a mob who trod closely on their heels, and endeavoured to bring about a quarrel—taking part with the post-boys. Soon after he heard the voice of a gentleman whom i.e knew (Mr. R.), and turning round saw hire in the midst of a mob of fifteen or sixteen per sons, who were provoking him to fight. The witness took him from them to the Castle Inn, where they met several of his friends. The mob still followed them using abusive language. One of the gentlemen, incensed at thk caught hold of one of the mob by the col lar, which seemed the signal for a general quarrel. Two persons attacked the gentleman who had collared the man, and blows were struck on both sides. In a few moments the mob dispersed, but very soon after they began to re assemble. At this time it was that Lord Mount-Sandford came up, and asked what was the matter ? Witness re plied as to what he had seen. He now p reeived the party mustering again, and pointed out two of the principal to a watchman coming up, desiring him "to take there into custody, and do his duty." Ile replied, "he did not know what was his duty,'‘ and went away, apparently afraid to have any thing to do with them. Immediately after several blows were struck at the gentlemen, some of whom wore white bats; the two men subsequently ap prehended, were, he believed, the most active in the row. Three of the gentlemen, at least, were knocked down, among them was the deceased Nobleman ; witness caught the man who struck his Lordship, and knocked him down. The man who struck him was a stout fellow, about five feet eight inches high, and appeared to know how to make use of his fists. Witness was afterwards attacked by them, and had enough to de to extricate himself. He thinks his Lordship fell at the edge of the curb-stone. —On witness's return, after an unsuccessful pursuit of some of the assailants, he found him still lying there, and several of his friends arrived, one of whom exclaimed, " Good God ! it is Mount-Sand ford." The witness could not believe it was his Lordship, as he was bald, and his wig had fallen off, of the existence of which the witness was not pre viously aware. Witness was afraid he could not iden tify the man who struck him. His Lordship was quite sober, as he had been speaking to him a few minutes be fore, and lie could have taken no part whatever in the affray. The witness here handed in a note from a gentle man who had witnessed the affray, and would, if neces sary, come forward with his testimony : " Dear Sir—lt is with the deepest concern I have read your note, announcing the melancholy intelligence of Lord Mount Sandford's death. Poor fellow ! I had hoped, from the last accounts I had from you, he was out of danger, though from the moment I first saw him I feared death had marked him for his own. Such a death, end so un merited on his part, is sadly to be lamented. I regret that I am compelled f's be in the country this day, and was on the eve of departure as your note arrived. You, I be lieve, are acquainted with the circumstances, and having caught the loam can say all that is requisite. The sur geons can, of course, state whether death was caused by the kicks his Lordship received, or whether it was from the fall against the curb-stone ; from one or the other it is pretty certain that he met his death. The treatment he received was most brutal, and it is due to his memory to say, most unmerited. I again express my regret that I rims not able to get to Windsor ; nor do I see that my pre sence could be essential, as so many of his Lordship's friends were present. " Your's, " BERKELEY BOND. " 11, Quadrant, Snu;ay, lio'clock. Charles Bethell Cedringion, Esq., Cornet in the First Guards, went to the Castle Inn, where he had been told Sir John Oglebv had had his eye opened; he found Sir John there washing his eye. He then corroborated the staten,ent of the preceding witness as to the different rows. —Lord M. was conveyed into the Inn insensible; be had dined with his Lordship, who was not intoxicated. Edward Lord Hawke sworn—His Lordship saw his de ceased friend knocked down, and had himself a scuffle with th e man who gave the blow, in the course of which his hat was knocked off; while he was stooping for it, the man ran away. He pursued and overtook him. While conveying him ton place of security, the prisoner's brother (Hunt) came tip. and pretending to be a constable, attempted to favour his escape, but did not succeed. His Lordship acid the deceased bad been intimate friends many years, and he was the last person in the world - who would have gone willingly into a row. He was not at all intoxicated that night. Richard Tabren, a cabinet-maker, living in the Inn, de scribed the row as a general one against the gentlemen. He saw the deceased lying en the ground ; his wig was off, which the witness picked up. While he lay on the ground a man named Brinklett kicked the deceased on the back on the head'and then ran away. Il e did not o b serve the head of the deceased befo re h e was ki c k e d. any wound of nett was sober at the time; he had seen him busy in the crowd before. To a Juror—Brinklett took a run when he was going to kick, as if it had been a football. (Shudders throughout the room.) . Brinklett was called in, and the last witness's testimony read over in his presence. He is a short, but stout fellow ; he Spoke scarcely audibly. None of the former witnesses could identify Brinklett as concerned in the row. Thomas Hunt and his brother George were also called in.—Mr. Goodrich stated to the best of his belief, the for mer was the person who struck the deceased, and Lord Hawke identified him as the man he had pursued and ap prehended. T. Gascoigne, Esq., Cornet in the Royal Horse Guards, deposed to Thomas Hunt running away, Lord Hawke and witness followed him ; while he was running the people cried aloud, " that is he that did it." Another witness, named Fare, was next examined.—He saw the deceased knocked down by a !luta of the size and in the usual dress Of Brinklett, he fell on his face, and the man who had given the blow kicked him instantly on the back of. the head; he afterwards jumped on 'his body.— The knocking down, kicking, and jumping occupied three seconds. Witness went away, and left his Lordship to himself as it was no affair of his, lie might have been kicked and jumped upon for all he cared. After some further testimony, the inquest adjourned for a foi , days to give time to : Mr. Bond to be examined as to the kicks, and the person lie saw kicking the deceased. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.

An incident which we some time ago stated to be pro bable, has now actually occured : Mr. Calcraft has been appointed Paymaster-General of the Forces in the place of Mr. V. Fitzgerald (now a Cabinet Minister, and President of the Board of Trade), and has in consequence taken the oaths as a Privy Councillor. This looks Whiggish enough, or rather liberal enough, beyond all doubt; and certainly tends to prove—first, that there was great rashness on the part of Mr. Iluskisson in broadly tendering his resigna•. Lion; and next, that as such a❑ event could not be ex pected, so likewise was it not wished or desired by the Duke of Wellington, though we ourselves, we will frankly own, leaned to a different opinion at first. It was said of William 111., after he had ascended the throne of this country, that he availed himself of the ser vices of Whig and Tory indiscriminately, as they seemed to favour the peculiar objects of his policy at different eras of his reign. The Duke of Wellington seems to club the two indiscriminately at the same time, being determined, we presume, to maintain the command and direction of their powers and faculties, without regard to the party feelings of which each may be possessed. Mr. Vesey Fitz gerald may be considered as a liberal, being a strong advo cate for emancipation ; sad Mr. Calcraft has always been, and still remains a Whig. We suspect he will not be the last of the party who will accept of office under or with the Duke.— Times. There eeems to be. brewing up an attack upon the Pre rogati.:e Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury at Doc tot's' Commons. We have had a letter or two on the sub ject of the Deputy Registrars in that Court; and the whole system is denounced, in remonstrance after remonstrance, by Dr. Highmore. This learned gentleman—and learned he is from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head— has a wild, rambling semi-crazy way of writing in words of his own fabrication, very much like Jeremy Bentham; hut still we can understand that he pounces upon many abuses and absurdities in the practice of the Court. A quotation from these works would not give a favourable idea of the writer's sagacity ; but, to take one single fact, if it cost the late Bishop of Lincoln 5001. in Proctors' fees, to attempt the removal of a profligate incumbent from his diocess, which incumbent, we believe, still officiates in the sanctuary : this, we say, is a scandalous abuse, How , ever, the stone is moved and beginning to roll ; no one knows where it will stop, or what rotten buildings it will knock down in its course.—lbid. We lately called the attention of our readers to a vote by which the House of Commons declared, that a certain number of individuals in the parish of Mary-la-bonne, re sponsible only to themselves, might tax, ad libitum, the property of every inhabitant in that populous parish, ex pend the money so raised in any manner which might seem agreeable to them, and contract debt to any amount in ad dition. Last night, the 'louse came to a vote with re spect to the continuance of a sinecure, which we shall take special care not to characterise as it deserves to be characterised. We allude to the Archbishop of Canter bury's Bill, of which the third reading was carried, by a :ajtranspired i n t h e course o f t h e d e b a t e , b ea r o u t th e follow gostatement of a Correspondent: — " His Grace , the Majority of 83 to 49. The facts of the case, as they present Ar c hbi s h op, w i s h es , by me ans of this private Bill, to !secure to his son an appointment, which in the regular successor. Th e appo i n t men t in question is the office o f way would, in all human probability , be in the gift of his Registrar to the Will or Prerogative Office at Doctors' Commons, at present filled by the two surviving pa tentees of the late Archbishop, upon the death of which gentlemen a vacancy will take place, to be filled by the Archbishop filling the See at the time. The office is a complete sinecure, in the fullest sense of the word. The duties, requiring nice discretion and great experience, ;.re performed at present by three Deputy Registrars, pro fessional gentlemen, who, by moderate fees and much la bour, justly earn the praise so unmeritedly bestowed by the Attorney-General on their principals. The patronage of the principals is considerable, arid among other good things enables them to bestow four sinecure offices, called Clerk ships of the Seal, each worth not less than 1,0001. per annum, the holders, exempt even from residence, appoint ing as deputies to offices of much difficulty and importance clerks, not incompetent, but in a class of life too low for the situations. The annual emoluments, besides the pa tronage, are estimated at thirteen thousand pounds a year, arising from fees from executors and administrators. After liberally increasing the allowance to the Deputies, who must be gentlemen of diameter and responsibility, and who ought to supersede the principals, 10,0001. a year might still be at the disposal of the public ou the abolition of the sinecure." As far as the Archbishop of Canterbury is concerned, it is clear that all that he possesses is the chance of the office falling in during his iectunbency. .He may die before the present Patentees ) or he may stirviSe thee', and in the latter case cone, as the present Patentees will not resign, can lie derive any thing from the disposal of the Registrarship? "In 1810 (said Mr. Hume) a Com mittee of the House was appointed to inquire into sinecure offices. On the Report being manic, the House passed a aeries of Resolutions for the reduction and abolition of all offices of which the effective duty was entirely or principally discharged by deputy ; and in the year following, Bills were introduced to carry those Resolutions into effect. On the 18th of June, 1811, a second Report was made by the same Committee, relative to the officethe Court of Admiralty, and in the Ecclesiastical Courts. Iu that Report, it was stated that the duty of the principal Registrars was done entirely by deputy." Now, as was justly contended by Mr. Ch'arles W. Wynn, " the proposal before the House was utterly inconsistent with the principle of the Act founded on the Report of the Committee on Sinecure Offices. It would be impossible to regulate or diminish the emoluments of the Registrarship, until this third life expired." Here then we see the House of Commons agreeing, by a large majority, to a vote directly at variance with the rule laid down by. themselves, thereby declaring in the face of the world that they regard no pledge, adhere to no principle, and observe no law but that of inclination. The eighty-three men who came to this vote might, with equal justice, have voted to each of their number 20,000/. a year out.of the public money. We can discover no one justification of this act, which may not be equally alleged in favour of that of a Calabrise brigand, who transfers the property of the traveller to his own pecket, namely, that it is safe, because he is above the law. There is really and truly a lamentable want of moral principle in the higher ranks of this country. We really are at a loss to know what it is that these eighty-three men would consi der themselves bound to abstain front doing, so long as a certain functionary (whose finishing hand is the only guide in right and wrong to many people) happens to be on their side. There are several good people iu this coun try, who have taken it into their heads that the Duke o f Wellington is about to favour the nation with a po litical millennium. Nuw, we would just ask Sir Francis Burdett, who seems to have an extraordinary confi dence in his Grace's virtues, to bestow one moment's re flection on this act, by which the largest sinecure in the couutry, with one exception, is disposed of under the Go vernment of this honest and disinterested Minister, in the teeth of the pledges of Parliament, without one ground of justification. Of what avail are the reconunendations of Finance Committees, when we see see here that the report of that last named has hardly been laid on the table, before the Attorney-General unblushingly defends an act, giving a fresh vested interest in a sinecure Of/ a princely amount? All these appointments of Committees have obviously no other object than to amuse the public. The Duke of Wel lington is neither better nor worse in this respect than any other man who should fill his office ; and we only notice his countenance of this glaring act of jobbing at the public expense to point attention to the silliness of those declara tions which would teach men to expect impossibilities.— The higher ranks of this country must be fed at the public expence; and they will allow no man to be long at the head of the Government who does not consider the object of Administration to be, to extract the utmost that cam he extracted from the public for their benefit. A few clerks or labourers may now and then be dismissed ; but were he to touch anything worthy of the acceptance of a nobleman, he would soon discover his error. But, after this specimen of Ministerial purity, he must be a very credulous man, indeed, who can suppose that his Grace's influence with the Aristocracy is ever likely to lie endangered by any ill timed scruples respecting the placing the public money at their disposal.—Morning Chronicle. We rejoice that there is at last a reasonable prospect of the two Houses of Parliament agreeing on some measure for an alteration in our abominable Game Laws. When things come to the worst, there is an old proverb which says they will mend ; and to This state these laws had, in effect, arrived; for if any thing worse can be imagined than the whole system has become in practice, we are willing to wait till a greater consummation of evil can be brought about. Bat we believe such a prospect to be im possible, and that these laws have produced the very acme of evil, from which it is high time the subject rebounded hack into a purer and less blighted atmosphere. - At the same time we agree with Sir John Shelley, who, from a warm and uncompromising opponent of any innovation in these laws, has yielded to an overwhelming necessity, that, for whatever the Landed Interest may lose upon the occa sion, they have only to thank that part of their own body who have converted the manly sports of their ancestors into a mere senseless scene of slaughter. It is the bottu system which, by holding out increased facilities, and larger supplies to the poacher, has rendered it, like some species of smuggling, by far too extensive and powerful for the law. And how is smuggling best de feated but by taking duties from, and opening trade in, the commodities which are the objects of it ? Nor does it at all follow, that we cam perceive, that permitting the sale of game will at all diminish the amusement of the fair sportsman. In fact, we all find that , there is already a contraband trade in game, nearly, if not to the full, as large as the allowed trade can become—a contraband trade, by the bye, in which (with all due respect be it spoken) some of the loudest declaimers against the sale of game ar e pretty strongly suspected themselves to have partaken. What becomes of the waggon-loads of game which are slaughtered at the most celebrated battus? It is well known that the visiters can get none, and that the home table cannot consume one-tenth of it. The keeper and his master, and some of those witnesses who were recently examined before the Lords' Committee, but whose names are not given, can tell, and would soon convince the most sceptical, that the main reason with some of the loudest declaimers against the sale of game is the apprehension that it will break in upon the snug monopoly which they themselves enjoy. We do not wish to see Country Gen tlemen deprived of their amusements; on the contrary, we would wish to see every inducement increased that can lead them to spend their time and fortunes upon their estates, away from the vices and luicurice of the metropolis, and it is because we believe that the proposed alteration in the Game Laws will produce a great good, without any in convenience or disadvantage to this highly respectable class of the community, that we have advocated it so warmly as we have done.—Morning Herald. Mr. Calcraft was yesterday appointed Paymaster of the Forces in the room of the Bight lion. Vesey Fitzgerald, and sworn in a Privy Councillor. A week or two ago it was understood that this Right Hon. Gentleman had re fused all the offers which had been made to hint by the Duke of Wellington; but though we reported the fact, we always entertained strong doubts of its correctness. Mr. Calcraft is a great stickler for promotion - 471 the army, and his principles are therefore not likely to clash with those of the heads of the military Government of which he now forms a part. We know not indeed where he could have found himself so completely in his element as in the situa tion of Paymaster of the Forces. Mr. Croker has also been swc,ro in a Privy Councillor; but does not change his office ; and it is added, that Lord F. L. Gower is to be the new Secretary for Ireland. We fear he will scarcely be so acceptable to our brethren in the sister island as th e l ate S ecre t ary; b u t it i s so mething neverthe less, to have a man in that important office whose sentiments on the great question of Catholic Emancipation ar e n ot opposed to those of the six and a half millions of people with whose interests be is partially entrusted. The Stafford family is said, in the Ministerial Journals, to have signified its approbation of the Duke of Wellington's Government.._. in other words, to have tendered its support. We were aware that Mr. Huskisson's resignation was a matter which gave great satisfaction in that quarter, though undonbtully from no selfish motive; and we can therefore easily con ceive that those who regretted this step on ha part, would he the first to sympathise with tke difficulties of the Premier, and to aid him in bolstering up the incongruou. , machine wbich he has constructed. We should scarcely h av e expiicted, however, that Lord F. L. Gower would have been the first to mike his bow to the Premier.— .21forning Advertiser. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. LIVERPOOL.

BE , TWIXT JAMES CANN AND FRANCIS OLVER. Yesterday afternoon the Cornwallers and the Deionian{ were on the qui vice to witness the trial of skill betwixt_ James Cann, brother to the Champion of Devon, aryfi Francis Olver, a new man from Cornwall, the best of two three fair back-falls, the latter of whom xv.l consi dered by his friends and countrymen as an out-and-outer, and able to throw any man in the London ring. The match took place at Mr. Rouse's new enclosure, at the Eagle Tavern, City-road, which was crowded to ex cess. The men entered the ring as the clock struck five —betting six and seven to !bur in favour of Cann. Olver gave his hand to Cann in the mcst friendly way, and they then grappled. Cann kicked severely, but the returns were slight on the part of Olver, who chewed fearlessness of punishment, anti was evidently the strungek: man, he lifting Cann from the ground, and thtnwing him heavily. Again they met, and again Caun saluted his mother earth. A severe struggle followed this bout, and mature kickings; in the 00Unte of which Cann obtained a favourite lock, but was shook off by his antagonist amidst loud cheers.—Cann made a similar attempt, but was lifted from the ground and thrown heavily, amidst cries of " foul! fair ! &G." The umpires uhimatcli.de cided " foul," and the men again grappled. After a long time, in which the advantages were nearly equal, Cann was thrown a tremendous fall, flat on his back, with his antagonist flush on hint. Olver jumped up, but Cann was unable to recover himself, and complained much of Lir side. A medical gentleman on the ground diroctly.examincd hitn, and found a depre: , s;on of fracture of at least hne of the short ribs, which of course stopped the match, and left the prise in the hands of (Aver, who then offered to wrestle any Devonshire man in London for 50/. Cann,t after being bled, was removed in a coach, and noticing serious is apprehended from the accident, he being considerably better at twelve o'clock last night. PRICE 111. 72 A -‘l P°: GAY GRAND SAILING MATCH. Yesterday a Sailing Match, for a silver cup and cover, given by the Clarence Yacht Club, took place. The dis tance to be sailed was from Westminster Bridge to Ham•- mersuiith, and back to Westminster. A great number of boats were on the water, and as a fine breeze was up at N.F. fine sport was expected. Eleven vessels were en , tered to start, but only iiine were at their stations at the signal given for preparation. The Commodore, at hall-past four, gave the signal for starting ; and the Clarence, of seven tons, took the lead, followed closely by the Leander. The Fortitude was the next vessel. The others were likewise close upon each other. The Clarence kept the lead up to Hammersmith, and was the first boat which rounded the flag-boat, the Fortitude and Leander being close upon the Clarence. In making the first tack the Clarence ran foul of a boot moor ed near the shore, and became entangled, and a man on board cleared her with his foot. This, as will be seen be low, led to a dispute. The boats kept their relative sta tions, with the exception of the Leauder, which changed places with the Fortitude. At about 25 minutes past seven the Clarence rounded the flag-boat stationed near Westminster-bridge, winning the match by about four mi nutes, the Fortitude coming in next, almost immediately after ; all the other boats came up within a quarter of an hour. 7he match was a well contested one. THE WKANGLE.-Tbe unfortunate boats raised an ob jection to the means adopted by the Clarence, when she ran foul of the boat off Putney. According to the rules of the Club no means, except the hands, nre to be used in getting clear of any impediments which may arise to ob struct tke vessels. A person on hoard the Clarence cleared the vessel with his feet. This was deemed unfair by the majority of the Club, but the Commodore decided that the crew of the Clarence acted right. In the evening the cup wee presented to the winner at the Club-room of Oliver's Coffee-house, Westminster Bridge. DREADFUL FIRE. YUATHEIt. rAwricuLARB.—SEVEN PERSONS MISSING. On Saturday morning the house of Mr. Harrison, fringe manufacturer, Red Lion-street, Holborn, was discovered to be on fire. The fury of the flames was great in the ea tt erne, anti it was with the utmost difficulty, indeed nothing but the promptness of Mrs. Harrison, in making her escape from the first floor window, in all but a state of nudity, and passing along the leads of that and the adjoining house, to the third house, that she escaped with her life. The next house, Mr. Thurling's, a butcher, the corner of Princes street, was also on fire. The house on the North side, occupied by Mr. Jarman, and the shop and some part of which was let to Mr. Webb, a grocer, was also in a blaze, and the situation of the whole of the houses being such that no engines could be brought to play upon the rear of them, the three, Mr. Thurling's, Mr. Harrison's, and Mr. Jarman's, were consumed, and nearly every at ticle that they contained. Mr. Harrisen's shop nti'az divided into two, and, with part of the house, was let to a person named Tingle, who had a wife and five children, the youngest about fifteen months old, and the eldest n o t met than ten years old. All these are missing—no tidings can heard of them, although every possible inquiry h as b een made amongst their friends and relatives ; they th ere f ore conclude, that they are lost in the conflag ra ti on . O n t h e o ther hand, Mrs. Harrison is confident that she heard the voice of Mr. Tingle when she was first alarmed, saying to some one, " Come : away —come away !" and that they were clown titan's In the shop, or near i t . S ome o f t h e neighbours opposite state., that they must have Well them if they had been there, and they are positive that no persons went out at the front after the fire was discovered. FALLING OF THE PREMISES. Sunday evening, about six o'clock, a stack of chimney% gave way, and, coming down, brought with it the whole Hof the brick work of Mr. Ilarrison's house.
