PADDY. BOXING. Yesterday a pugilistic contest took place at Coombe Wood, between Smith and Scroggins, fur 501. As Smith was well known, the odds were six to four on him before setting-A° (which they did at one o'clock), -and after an obstinate con test of an hour, in which 52 rounds were fought, 'Scroggins was declared victor ; indeed, after the fourth round he had evidently the advantage. Smith, after being carried off the field,•preserved a sullen silence, vexed at his defeat from never having been heat before ; lie was much punished : about the body, as well from. his severe falls, as from the blows of his - antagonist, who left . the ring apparently fresh. A number of Gentlemen Amateurs were pre sent, and •a second fight commenced between a Sailor and a Jew, for a subscription purse, which Caused much diversion among the spectators, as the Sailor, by superior strength, put science at defiance, and, after 27 rounds, the Jew gave in.

We are authorized to correct a statement which appeared in TnE Su (copied front other Papers), respecting Sir CnnaLvs Rim/ having deducted from his rents in Berkshire 25 per cent. To those tenants who. bad taken farms in the year 1813 at a very advanced rent, lie did return a portion of their rent, but by no means to the amount of 25 per cent. From those farms which had been let at 'an earlier date, he made no de duction. Mrs. NPGIBBON is at present thelleroine of the Newcastle Theatre.

SCIENTIFIC DI SCOVER Y. .The Count de la BoNTA've, in a Memoir to the French • Institute _ says, " he has discovered the means of dyeing unalterable colours, the compo sition of which is perfect, viz. blue upon wool and green,: fellow, violet, and 9 other colours ; to wit, a yellow upon .wool, as strong and more bril, liaut than . the former : two greens, one of which will resist the action of fire itself ; two fine blacks, one without copperas,'which can neitherhurn nor harden silk, ny more than wool; and another, which resists sulphuric acid potash in a state of ebullition, as %vell as the action of the silo and air ; an unalterable puce colour ; a crimson on silk, much cheaper and -more durable than cochineal ; and 'lastly, a pure pink, completely unalterable throu'gh all the shades of flesh colour. " Add to these twelve new colonrs," says lie, which MO be obtained pure in all their shades, a very be-aitOrnl white, never liable to torn yellow, which. I have saceecaed in . giving to wool A well as silk, an t i, whi c h sprea d s much more than their natural white.- 7 -if we only add to this, the fastest colour of the ancient dye, or the fine red yielded fry alkermes, to fill the palette; and the problem will be solved. " Of these twelve unchangeable col Ours, eitiht have been suhjected.to the action of the sun under glass, during the four latter months - of last wit , suer (1813), without undergoing the least altera tion. .Fire has no effect upon the ninth colour, and the three last.are the fi nits of My' industry through the preceding winter.," IMPROVEMENT OF GRAY?S.---A respectable Cor respondent in Hillshorongli, communicates the following sugge9-tion fdr the improvement of Grates : • " As any plan, however simple, that can at all tend to the saving of fuel, may be useful, I beg to oi,serve that the present construction of Grates may be conside s rably improved by having the bc,t, torn entire of thin iron, as , also the 'two lower bars within a quarter of an inch of it, and next each other. , The Grates in use should 'have another bottom . of thin iron, with a bar rivetted. 'OH staunchions, so as to limit the space as above described : this too will have its advantage, as it will draw out to remove the ashes. • At first this may appear of trifling importance ; but I know from long experience, that where turf is -the chief fuel, one-half is saved, and nearly one7third of coal. This could be more :fully explained, to:- gether with its effect on the draught of chiwnics ; but presume merely inserting it will suffice." CAUTION TO FAMILIES.-Sunday last Mr„„an,d Mrs. Sheicay, of Bethnal Green, sent out in their garden for a stick of horse raddish, and the ser vant brought in a root, called ." Pope's Roof,' which exactly resembles, horse-raddish, and un fortunately was used instead. of it. The conse epienee was, that they both found themselves very ill that evening, and the next morning, on - send- ing for a Medical . Gentleman,. he d.eciared them, both to he dangerously poisoned. They remain Hart, the robber; who was killed in a conflict at. Mr. PartTO'N's mill, Was interred on Monday se'unight at Appledore, where he resided.--Wants could not inthice him to commit such atrocity, as notes to the amount of Si. besides a watch were found on his person ! he had also 10 sheep on a common hard by; was on tire eve of being married, and had a new snit of clothes sent house for that purpose. Having lodged with at man of the name of Dennis, it was thought proper to search. his premises *ben a great _quantity of corn was discovered in a stubble stack, and several sheep-skins in a dung-hill. Dennis was in consequence taken into custody and is committed with two others to onr•County Gaol.' Page, the accomplice. with liort, for, whose ap prehension a reward of 20gs. alas been offered, was seen at Wrotham, on Sunday se e nnight, iii company with a man of the name of Brake:field, whose residence is at Biddenden. Fr om the wound ed state of Page, who is much cut on the forehead, gt eat hopes are entertained of his apprehension, (Maidstone Journal). A truly disgraceful scene occurred in this town on Tuesday last : A man came from Gouldhurst for the express purpose of selling his wife, sup posing that the Cattle Market was held on that day ; but finding his mistake, and being deter- Mined to get rid of his rib, he adjourned with her to the Coal Barge public-house, where, after many biddings and. -high commendations on the charms and. virtues-she possessed, was sold for the sum of One Guinea and a Pint of Gin, to a countryman, who came front Goodhurst for the purpose of buying her. We hear she has five children, one of which she 11;14 in her arms when TRALEE, DEC. 29.—A man of the name of Manganc, of Glip, was barbarously murder ed on Tuesday week last, at Bllylogeord, in this county ; Godfrey Leonard, 'Esq. of Rushy Park, a Magistrateof the county (no Coroner being convenient), held an inquest on the body; and .4 verdict was returned by the Jury of Hilful Murder ntzahist .Michael Mulvihill, James Moore, and Wm. Dinahan, one of whom has been appre hended, and sent off for the jail of this town; we understand some circumstance of a rely ex..raor. dinary nature occurred in the perpetration cif this barbarous deed, with which we are unacquainted; (Kerry Evening Post.) following singular and unfortunate cum Stance happened on Tuesday week. A sailor, about 8 months since, brought home a spiked hand-grenade, and gave it to his mother, vhd lives in a cottage at Sprouston. Being unconscious of the combustible materials with which it was filled, no care was taken to keep it from fire ; and it accordingly been used for some time back, for . P',,eaking coals and other purpoies. Unfortunate ;7, however, on Tuesday, it was put upon the side of the are in order to - support one ends of a piece wc,titl, which had been laid on to burn, when tt..ic grenade having become heated, exploded, and shattered the woman's jaw, and otherwise injured her in so dreadful a manner, that she, continued for some time in a state of the most. imminent danger. She is now, however, in a fair way of recovery. Another woman was also tench hurt, and the cottage neatly set on fire ; hut by the timely assistance of the neighbours, who 'were brought to the spot by the noise of the explosion, the flames were quickly extinguished.---(Kelso Weekly ,lpurnal
