11 1 111 I couRT OF CHANCERY. WILMS V. MORI. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. BEAUVOIR V. RHODES. ere, .tor med LAW INTELLIGENCE. -(THIS DAY.) Mr. SHADWELL applied ex parte on bill and affi davit filed for an injtinction to restrain the defendant from selling or causing to be sold certain airs which he had published. The airs were—Der Alpen Jagger, and Der Landstrum von Tyrol, composed bY Leidel after having, arrived in this country, and Die Gamsen, Dus Schuzenbier, 'and Lauterbick, com posed by Rainer, before he arrived here. The Rainers having come here to sing these airs, they employed Mr. 'Willis to get them scored ; Mr, Willis got that done, and purchased the copyright as it were in the music from Leidel and Rainer, which was assigned over to him. The de fendant had since pirated the music, and hence the application to this Court. Mr. HALLS was with Mr. SHADIVELL, and the Court granted the injunction, ordering notice to be given immediately. Mr. lICALD moved that an order. made by the late Lord Chancellor in this cause, might be discharged. The order was to the effect, that the plaintiff might be at liberty to withdraw his replication, and amend his bill generally, or that he might be at liberty, so for to amend it as to the first three spe cific documents in issue, for the purpose of having them produced and read at the re-hearing. This order bad, it appeared, been consented to on the part of the plaintiff, under the impression that Lord Eldon was to have decided all matters in dispute between the parties, more in the character of an arbitrator than of a Judge pre siding in a Court of Equity. His Lordship, how ever, did not decide, and the consequence is, that some of the parties seem now inclined to nndo much that had been consented to when Lord Eldon pro mised to take the matter into his own hands. Mr. PEPYS and Mr. CISYNG followed on the same side. The VICE-CHANCELLOR refused the application with costs. Mr. HEALD hoped his Honour would not consi der that costs ought to be given where there were such good grounds for the Application. Ths VICE-CHANCELLOR.—I think that where &party fails in making out his case to the satisfac tion of the Court, he ought to indemnify the oppo site party for bringing him here at considerable ex pense. I think that if this rule were strictly adhered to, it would tend to discharge many useless motions, and save much valuable time. Ido not apply th e observation to the present motion, and I most certainly will deal in the same manner with Mr. Horne, in the event of his failing. Mr. HORNE for the plaintiff, then moved, that the cause of Beauvoir v. Rhodes, which had been set down for hearing before the Lord Chancellor, by the defendant, might he struck out of his Lordship's paper, and that the defendants pay the costs of the application. The VICE-CHANCELLOR, after some discussion, between Counsel, refused the motion. Mr. HEALD—It is now my turn to get the costs. —(A laugh.) The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Certainly. Mr. H ORNE was proceeding to submit another motion on the same cause, when our Reporter left the Court. FASHIONABLE AND MISCELLANEOUS. WINDSOR, JULY 31.—Yesterday the. Queen of W URTEMEERG, accompanied by her Royal Sisters, Prin cess kunusra and the Duchess of Gtouczorsa, left Frogmore Lodge at half-past twelve o'clock, in a double bo4ied phaeton, drawn by four of his Majesty's ponies, a nd driven by two postilions in the Royal livery, escorted by the King's Forester, in green, and two outriders also in th e Royal livery. On leaving Frogmore Lodge they pro ceeded by the private drive and the new plantations to the Royal Lodge, it being the first time her MAJESTY visited there. On their arrival they were met at the entrance door by Sir ANDREW 13AarrAan, who conducted the illus trious party to the saloon, where they were received by his MAJESTY with the utmost cordiality. After partaking of an elegant collation her MAJESTY, attended by the KING, inspected the Royal Lodge, the conservatory, and the plea sure grounds adjoining, with which she was highly de lighted, and particularly pleased in viewing the number of pheasants and partridges, quite tame, on the lawn under the windows of the Lodge, where they daily resort for their regular !nod. After -passing nearly three hours with his MAJESTY, the Royal party took leave and returned to Frogmore Lodge. The Duke of SUSSEX gave a grand dinner yesterday at his apartments in the KING'S Palace at Ken sington, to the Duchess of KENT, the Prince of LEININ GEN, the Princess FEODORE, and a select party of nobility and gentry.

SUMMER ASSIZES. (RECEIVED THIS MORNING.) NORTHERN CIRCUIT._YORK, Jury 30. ATROCIOUS HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Ananias Lumley, aged 21, stood indicted for attack ing Mr. John Clough on the King's highway, putting him in bodily fear, and robbing him of four promissory notes, some silver, and other articles his property. The prosecutor, a butcher, residing at a village called Bromley, about four miles from Leeds, has a shop at a place called Atherton, about two miles further. On Saturday; 31st March, he had been to Atherton market, and was on his return home about eleven o'clock at night, when at a dreary part of the road he was , met by two men, one of whom was the prisoner, and he with a bludgeon struck him a tremendous blow on the head, which felled him to the ground. One of them called out, "kill him ! kill him !" upon which they commenced beating him most unmerci fully with the bludgeon over the head and face, and whilst in this helpless state they robbed him of four promissary notes for the payment of 11. each, twenty shillings in silver, his watch and appendages. They then fled, and, Mr. Clough as well as he was able from the weak state be was in reached his home. Subsequently the prisoner went, into the Wellington public-house, at Kirkgate, in Leeds, and offered the prosecutor's watch for sale for 265. and the robbery of Mr. Clough being generally known, he was sent for, and on seeing the prisoner and his watch, be immediately identified the latter, and the prisoner as one of the men that had attacked him. The Jury found the prisoner guilty—Death. Mr. Baron HULLOCK, addressing the prisoner, most earnestly persuaded him to prepare for the worst. The prisoner appeared quite indifferent, and left the dock with a smile on his countenance. There are 56 prisoners in the calendar. The only case that excites any interest is that of John Garth an apothe cary, and George Clarkson, for the murder of two ills. gitimate children, try administering to them - certain poi sonous drugs. Their trial is expected to come on to morrow (yesterday.) WESTERN CIRCUIT, SALISBURY, JULY Si. Two men, of the names of Orchard and Hooper, were tried yesterday on a charge of breaking into the house of Thomas Farr, and stealing therefrom two boxes containing silver and copper. An accomplice, of the name fo - Salmon was called, who swore that Orchard, and Hooper, the other prisoner, were the persons that broke into Farr's house in company with himself and another man not in custody. This accomplice on being pressed, admitted that he had been committed to prison by a Magistrate for offending his master, the singu larity of which phrase induced the Chief Justice to conjec ture that what one man called offending, another might designate robbing. His Lordship's conclusion appeared to be not without foundation, for after a little more flirtation on the part of the prisoner, lie was brought to confess that the main circumstance in his offending his master, was the stealing a large quantity of leather, on which charge he had been convicted, and sentenced to a year's imprisonment. The JUDGE, in his summing up, requested the Jury to be muttons how they received the testimony of a man, who, according to his account, was one of the most profligate and abandoned characters in the country. The Jury deliberated for a few minutes, and found Orchard Gteilty, acquitting Hooper. • The same Salmon figured again this day as King's evi dence, in another indictment against two unfortunate fel lows, who, according to his account, made him their con fidant in a robbery that they committed in the house of Benjamin Cliff. His Lordship, not recollecting the person and countenance of Mr. Salmon, expressed some astonish ment at his being let into their secrets, till the witness's features suddenly recurring to his recollection, the mystery became explained, and no farther questions were asked as to the mode in which Salmon became " part and parcel" of the circumstances of the rase. Ia the course of the other evidence, there being,some connecting evidence with respect to one of the prisoners, whose name was Rabbits, the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty; while the 'Other one, Andrews, having nothing against him, but the oath of Mr. Salmon, was Acquitted. The Grand Jury. have returned two true bills against Mr. Seyniour, a gentleman of fortune, in the north of this county, and another person, one for the capital charge, and the other for the misdemeanour, for an offence which can not be mentioned ; while on the other hand Mr. Seymour has brought an indictment against some of his servants, for a conspiracy in charging him with this offence. To-mor row morning, at eight o'clock, the case will be called on be fore Chief Justice BEST. TO LIEUT. COOK, R.N., PATENTEE OP THE LITE ?RESERVER FOR CARRIACES. "Hawley, Dartford, Kent, July 27, 1827. " SIR-I have great pleasure in being able to assure you of my entire approbation of the Life Preserver, which I have now had attached to my gig three or four months. I have made repeated trials of it on the road when proceed ing at a fast pace, and find it.to draw the horse in quickly, but steadily, and that it has not the least tendency to make him restless or uneasy. I Teel satisfied that in case of a horse running away, he would not be able to resist the steady, and gradually increasing check, which would be imposed upon him. But-I consider one of its principal recommendations to be, the security which it affords to a Lady, should she be accidentally left alone in a gig or phaeton, since by its means the most timid female may stop the most impetuous horse with the greatest facility, as it requires no exertion of strength to put the Life Pre server into operation. I shall at all times feel happy in repeating this testimony of its worth to any person whom you may wish to refer to me. " I rgnain, Sir, your obedient servant, " WM. T A SKER. " The ( Life Preserver is alike applicable to stage-coaches, to carriages, and to gigs. A lady inside can, with ease, safety, and certainty, stop a pair or four horses in the event of their running away. The whole cost of attach ing the invention complete, with cat-gut rein, &c. is, to a gig, 10 guineas; to a carriage, 20 guineas. Any vehicle can be fitted at the manufactory, 127, Long-acre, where other testimonials in favour of the Life Preserver may be seen, and where a chariot•and a etanhope, with the patent attached, may be inspected. Orders have already been received for the East Indies, as well as for the Continent. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE arrived in town from -the Continent on Monday, and yesterday departed for his seat in Derbyshire. On Monday his Excellency Baron BIJLOW, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the King of Pitussia to his Britannic MAJESTY, jointly'with Mr. N. M. Roniscumb, in the • presence of bfr. BoloritT, notary-:public, cancelled and deposited in the Bank of England the sum of 21,3001. in special bonds of the Prussian Loan of 1822, being one moiety of the sum fixed for the redemption of bonds in the fourth year, and also the sating - of the interest on the 153,2507. re deemed to the let of January het inclutive. c • MAGAZINE DAY. BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE. The review of Mr. Huskisson'eSpeech on the Shipping Interest, though well-written, is, as usual, bigotted ; it is fraught with no new sug gestion, but simply contents itself with abusing " innovation." To the initiated it may be amus ing, but to the general reader it must appear heavy and elaborate. " The Song to the Lady Bird " bids fair- to be popular in the nursery, with which its intellect is exactly on a level. " The Graves of the Dead," by Delta, are sombre and somewhat prosy ; but " Reverses, a Tale of the Past Season," is a powerfully written and well-digested anecdote, from which we quote the following admirable definition of matrimony —" marriage is an act of generous self-devotion, for the benefit of the circle among whom we move." The article headed " Napoleon Buona parte," has the true Croly cut about it, it is elo— quent, exaggerated, and filled from first to last with deductions drawn (after the Irish fashion) from wrong premises ; its moral goes to prove,. that whoever, or whatever, sets himself or itself in array against England, is guilty of every atrocity, divine or human. Byona parte was the foe of England ; ergo lie was a daemon. Mr. Croly may, perhaps, act dis creetly in thus panipering the self-conceit of Englishmen ; but whether or no he compromises truth and j ustice.is another question. For the sam e reason, " the Duke of Wellington', (an eloquent paper written .manifestly by the same masterly hand) is extolled to the.skies ; set down as •one of the first of statesmen--the very first of war riors—the flower of morality—the cream of po liteness and the Graces. "As a statesman," says our author, " the Duke stands second to no man in England." Certainly not ; no one ever accused him of standing the second among Eng lish statesmen ; unless, indeed, one counted se cond from the bottom. But enough :.such ex cessive adulation is perfectly nauseating, and can reflect back nothing but degradation on its author. From the article " Napoleon" we quote the following rapid and spirited sketch : The system of the French Emperor was felt to be a declaration of war against mankind. In 1805, a coalition was formed by England; Austria, and Russia. They de manded of France the independence of Holland and SWit zerland, the evacuation of Hanover and the North of Ger many, the restoration of Piedmont to the King of Sar dinia, and the withdrawing of the French armies from Italy. Those terms were haughtily answered by a decree for calling out a conscription of 80,000 men, and the in stant movement of the army from the camps of the Chan nel against Austria. The troops marched thirty miles a day, while the enemy had calculated their advance at ten. The campaign was thus a surprise, the most decisive in the memory of man. The Austrian van 'of 20,000 men Was surrounded, and forced to lay down its arms at Ulm; Vienna, the reward of the victory, was entered in triumph by Napoleon on the 13th of November. Austria concen trated her last force with the Russians on the plains of Moravia. The Allies and the French were equal in 'Am ber, each about 75,000 men. Nothing shows more clearly the utter surprise of the Austrian Government by the promptitude of Napoleon, than the fact, that the whole native force in this combat for existence was but 25,000. He attacked the Allies at Austerlitz on the 2d of December, the anniversary of his coronation, broke through their line, which had rashly attempted to outflank him, slew or took prisoners 20,000, and laid Austria at, his mercy. The treaty of Presburg deprived her of the Tyrol and Vorarl berg, which were given to Bavaria, and of Venice. which was united to the kingdom of Italy. The Electors of Wirtemberg and Bavaria were made Kings. Such was the first evidence of the imperial sword of Napoleon—an empire prostrated in a six months' campaign, and by a single battle. But it was when the sword was sheathed that the true conquest began. No campaign since that in which Caesar decided the mastery of the Roman world, was ever fol lowed by results so wide. The Austrian power, with all its faults, was the true defence of the Continent. Anti quated and unwieldy, it had yet stood, a great armed figure of the days of knighthood ; the crowned and hel meted champion of the multitude of the German Sore reir,nties. But the keener weapon of France had reached the heart through the armour, and the whole vassalage fell with the fall of their chieftain. Napoleon saw his victory to the utmost, and he determined that Austria should never again stand in front of the - Empire of Charlemagne. The Confederation of the Rhine was formed, and the title of Emperor of Germany finally extinguished. in the pride of conquest, Napoleon took upon himself almost the name of an earthly Providence. 'By a stroke of his pen, he alienated and distributed kingdoms. From the Cabinet of the Tuileries, covered like the ancient oracles with laboured mystery, he promulgated commands, to which Kings and people listened as to their fate. Dia dems were the reward of submission, slaughter and chains the punishment of resistance. Secrecy, terror, and splen dour, combined to make the Throne of France the most magnificent and fearful seat of imposture that had ever overhung the world. NEW MONWHLY *MAGAZINE. Mr. Campbell's Classical Letters to the Students of Glasgow, are, as usual, fraught with . instruction, conveyed in, a piquant and agreeable style. His remarks on Herodotus, 'are very apposite and happy ; and we are glad to find that he does justice (in this number) to the majestic perfection of Sophocles. We think he rather over-,rates the powers of Aristophanes ; he had poetry about him certainly, but not to the extent that Mr. Campbell would insinuate. We cannot remember his " feats of sublimity," unless, indeed, " omne ignotum pro magnific©" is to be taken as a sample. In cursorily alluding to Herodotus, Mr. Campbell has the following poetic vassage : " The genius of History appears in his writings as if she were going zealously abroad in quest of truth, and yet as if she had so freshly parted from the gardens of poetry, that their odours still remained upon her robes." " Drafts on La Fitte,"is apleasant anecdotical paper, from which we extract a characteristic Incident in the American adventures of Cooke the actor:— " He was certainly by nature arbitrary and overbearing ; and, when filled with the god,' gave vent to his feelings fearlessly and decidedly. Even amongst the tyrant-hating republicans of America he rode the high horse, and was allowed to ride it trampling down all in his way, the very Thurlow of the stage ;—like the Marquis bf Londonderry in St. Stephen's, ,defying all around him ; he was the essential Zenith to Kean's Nadir there ; it was Old tngland against New, and he was just as spirited and un compromising with a Yankee audience, as if he had been calling on Blanchard for his twentieth glass of brandy and water at the Wrekin. On the first night of his perform ance at the Boston theatre, Richard was the part he had adopted; and so strongly bad he fortified himself for the kingly task, that he deemed himself the very monarch he was destined to enact. The theatre was crowded in every part : expectation was on tiptoe : anticipation as to his person, voice, and manner, was announced by the sibilating 6 I guess' heard around, and pretty considerable' agitation prevailed. The orchestra had begun and ceased, unheeded and unheard ; nor could one of Sir Thomas Lethbridge's best cut and dried have produced less effect amongst the irreclairnables.' The curtain rose, and amidst thundering plaudits the welcome stranger advanced, iu angles, to the front of the stage, and, as Sir Pertinax has it, booed and booed and booed ;' but greeting could not endure for ever : well justified curiosity assumed its station, and at length silence, almost breathless silence, reigned around, such as attended Irving in his Zoar, or Canning when he lately produced his budget. The hospitable clamour was over; but instead of Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by the sun of York' being given, Cooke, in a respectful but decided tone, requested that OA save the King' might be played by the orchestra prior to the commencement of the play. The proposal at ,first but excited mockery and laughter, which, however, gave way to far different feelings, on Cooke firmly and composedly declaring, that, until his request was complied with, he was determined not to proceed ; and , should It be absolutely refused, he was resolved to retire. The fury ; of the Bostonians was at its height menace, accompanied by eve ry vituperetive epittnt rag, could suggest, was istyislied 2 calm and secure as h on is t o h w e n ac n to a r tiv ; e b i u sl t a l n i d e k s e e p t t in hi : s th sta e station, seas, until anger gradually subsided through very weariness ; and every effort having been ineffectually used to wean ' the tyrant' from his purpose, the political antipathies of the audience began to yield to their theatrical taste; and, after much argument and delay, the unpalatable demand was reluctantly assented to. Cooke, however, whose nature it was, when opposed, only to become more exigent, was not himself appeased ; for, as the notes unpleasing to 'a Yankee ear' were sounded, with a majestic wave of his hand he silenced the unwilling music, and Standing, if you please,' was as dictatorially as, fearlessly pronounced, to the consternation of the audience. So much - had, however, already been accorded, that it was not deemed matter of much moment to concede the rest_: and however ungracefully the atti tude of respect was assumed, the national hymn was per formed amidst grimace and muttering ; Cooke beating time with his foot, —nodding as significantly and satisfactorily at Confound their politics,' as Eldon himself at the late Pitt dinner ; and occasionally taking a pinch of snuff, as in his royal robes, he triumphantly contemplated the astonished and indignant audience. It ended :—' Richard was him self again,' and ' Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer' was given with equal emphasis, feeling, and effect." " The Recollections of Maturin," are worth reading ; he was a poet and novelist of consi derable energies both of thought and fancy disfigured, however, by such repeated violations of good taste, that to the fastidious judgment of an educated Englishman, he was insufferable. Yet we have heard Mr. Godwin say, that he would sooner make a pilgrimage to see Maturin than any writer of the age; and such praise from the first-rate author of " Caleb Williams" and " Saint Leon," speaks volumes in favour of his talents. The article " Mr. Sergeant Blackburne," is carefully and spiritedly written, with no slight dramatic 'effect : the casual introduction of the Burning of the Sheas,":—one of the most tremendous instances of malignant revenge on record—is very impressively conceived. " Rus sian Travelling Sketches," have an appearance of truth about them that lends them great interest. the character of Catharine 11. is well sketched (though briefly) and her favourite " Mornonoff" alluded to with appropriate insignificance. LONDON MAGAZINE. There is much smart saterical writing in the present number of this periodical, which possesses besides a more than ordinary share of varied and amusing information. The Review of High ways and Bye-ways is pointed, and most cor •dially do we sympathize with the Reviewers' nervous apprehensions of Mr. Grattan's humour; it is as dull as a Lord Mayor's voyage to Ox ford. The " Diary for the month of July," is a lively olio, " every thing by turns and no thing long ;" now moral and sententious ; now prosing and diffuse ; now exaggerated and sa tirical. It throws out many a hard hit at the passing absurdities of the day, and in allusion to the rage for " Yacht Clubs," _vindi cates that noblest of _amusements with 'much of the eloquence and no little of the feeling of a poet. There are but three' pleasures in the world .worth living for, (of course we except bdoks) and these are, sailing, skaiting, and swimming : an Alderman perhaps, would beg leave to hitch in a fourth— eating ; but this is apocryphal. The article en-: titled " The Wellesley Case," contains some just thinking on the very questionable mea sure of taking children from their parents. Mr. Wellesley it seems haS asked " how happens it, that out of one hundred letters from me, Mr. Pittman has only preserved thirty ? that he has not preserved the one I wrote upon courage, another upon sound religious feeling, another in which I introduced a quotation from - Cicero, and another in which I inserted a prayer I composed for my little girl at Ar ras ?" The Reviewer answers these questions pertinently enough by presuming that Mr. Pit man has not yet received these letters ; nor in deed can We ow selves fancy the lover of Mrs. Bligh sitting soberly down to his deiotions ; it seems as strange as if we were to see Lord Eldon figuring as a sea-god at Sadler's Wells. We should observe in concluding our notice of this Magazine, that there is too much review and too little original matter about" t : what, however, there is, is good.: MONTHLY REVIEW. A well-informed, sedate, and gentlemanly sort of number, with nothing, however, of paramount interest about it ; nothing, in short, on which a Reviewer could hang a remark, except the very general one of .praise.

The friends of the combatants brought them to the ground in " bang-up style—each having a carriage and four—and the muster of the Fancy was respectable, although not numerous.—The new ropes and stakes of Joe Fishwick were in requisition, and a very excellent ring was formed under the able management of the veteran Tom Oliver. Shortly before one o'clock the men were stripped, and all in readiness for action. Jennings, attended by Ned O'Neil and Tom Oliver, and Clegg by Peter Crawley and Dick Curtis. Both appeared in excellent condition, and the odds were 5 to 4 on Clegg. THE FIGHT. Round 1. The position of the men was good. They kept their hands well up, and sparred some time for an opening. Jennings at last observed Clegg drop his right hand, and instantly put in a slight left-hander on the side of the nob. Clegg was awake, countered with the left in turn, and caught him a poser over the right eye, leaving an evident impression of his knuckles on his os frontis. A short but wild rally followed, when Jennings closed and threw Clegg an admirable back fall, falling heavily upon liim.—(Shouts from the Emerald lads.) 2. Clegg came up smiling—hit out well with his right and left, and rushed to a rally, Jennings was with him, closed, and again threw hi►n.—(More cheers for Pat.) , 3. No time wasted—hit for hit, both nobs shaking. Jennings had it ou the mouth, and his cork was drawn. A wild rally, end a close—both down ; Jennings uppermost. 4. Cleft popped in two good jobbers tight and left— Jennings returned cleverly with his left on his ear. Clegg was again busy at Paddy's pate, when Jennings rushed in, caught him round the neck, and threw him a cross buttock, being decidedly the stronger man. - 5. Clegg. jobbed right and left, and got away. Jen nings bled profusely from the mouth, but darted to his man, and a busy rally followed, which terminated by Jen nings 'closing for the throw ; but Clegg finding lie had no chance at this work, went down to avoid mischief, to the. great displeasure of the Hibernians, who cried " foul !" 0. Clegg again planted his- right and left in good style on Paddy's mug. Jennings, irritated, rattled in to close fighting, and again tried for the fall. Clegg saw his object, and was slipping from his embrace, when Jennings caught him a flush hit with his right on the cheek, and he went down.-2 to lon Jennings. _ _ 7. Jennings was the first to fight. Clegg retreated, but Jennings closed with him at the ropes, and was making himself up for another cross-buttock ; Clegg, however, proved too leary, slipped down, and got on his knees.— (Most indignant shouts from the. Hibernians.) 8,9, 10, and 11. Clegg succeeded in paying another tremendous visit with his left to Jennings's grinders, and claret flowed in abundance. A scrambling rally followed ; both down, Clegg under. 12. The betting was now even from the repetition . of Clegg's blows, and his adopting the cautious system. Clegg again hit right and left and got away. Jennings followed him up, and in closing at the ropes, Clegg fell. 13. Clegg put in a severe right 'render on Jennings's left ogle, which was nearly closed ; in a moment Jennings rushed in, and a scrambling game rally followed. Both down, Jennings under. 14. Spirited fighting on both sides; but in the close, Clegg was going down, when Jennings hit him a fearful smack and cut his phiz most ornamentally. (Ireland was again alive, and Jennings the favourite). 15. Counter-hitting—Jennings closed, and as Clegg tried to get away he again hit him up twice with great effect', and in the end threw him. 16. Both distressed. A wild rally : hit for hit. Jen nings closed and gave Clegg a, heavy cross-buttocker. 17. Clegg kept out, and succeeded in placing several good jobbing hits : Jennings would not stand this, and boring, his antagonist to the coiner, a severe aryl excellent rally followed, in which both men were hit to a stand still, and at last went down together completely groggy. 'lB. Piping the order of the day, but both game— counter-hits; in - the close both down, Jennings uppermost. 19. Good fighting on both sides, but Jennings once more threw Clegg a burster, falling souse upon him. 20. Clegg hit out at Jennings with his right ; the latter closed, and was trying for the fall, when Clegg again `• came the cunning," and went down just ih time. Jen nings was about to hit him as lie sat, but luckily stopped his mazoley in time. 2i. Counter-hitting—in the close Clegg again went down. 22. Out-fighting, and some good hits on both sides. Jenning's planted a good left-hander on Clegg", cannister, and then darting to a close, threw him a tremendous cross buttock, falling with his whole weight upon him ; Clegg was heard whispering on his second's knee. Tom Oliver was on the look out; in another moment it was " all up," and Jennings was proclaimed the victor. Clegg's collar bone was dislocated, and he could not lift his arm. He said he had felt the fracture for the last six rounds, and, on examination by a surgeon, the injury was pronounced se vere. Jennings friends were uproarious at their good for tune, and carried off their champion in triumph, manifest ing their joy on the road home in deep libations of heavy wet and blue ruin. REMARKS. This was a game fight throughout, although some were disposed to censure Clegg for having so frequently gone down to avoid the " tumbling propensities" of his anta gonist. • The rules of the tin, however, justify such ma noeuvres as are consistent with fair stratagems of war.— Jennings was clearly the stronger man and the best thrower, so that nothing but cunning could have given Clegg a chance. In point of punishment Clegg had de cidedly the worst of the fight. The battle money will be given up this evening, at Bel cher's, where it is expected both men will show. A meeting took place on Tuesday evening, at Belcher's, to make a match between Reuben Marten and a novice named Kirwan ; but the business was postponed till to morrow evening, at the same place, when, if Kirwan does dot show, Marten will be ready to make a match with Young Gas, for a hundred a-side. Other affairs of the Fancy are expected to be brought forward at the same time, including a match between Cann and Polkinghorne, to wrestle for 5001. a-side ; and a m.tc' u lotween Dick Curtis and Teasdale, for a hundred a-side. Young Dutch Sam has signified his intention to make it match with Bishop Sharpe, in the course of next wesl:-.--- This affair has long been looked to with interest, , • • •:.•••; • • DESTRUCTIVE FIRE, - . The neighbourhood of London-bridge was thrown into an indescribable state of alarm in . the early part of last night, by the bursting out of a rapid conflagration in the warehouses of Messrs. Forsyth and Bell, at Fresh-wharf, LOwer "Thames-street. About half-past nine o'clock same 81 imatoeitulfrapottto:h: upon these premises, which adjoin the church of St. Magnus, and almost abut upon the east side of Loudon-Midge, were discovered to be on fire, and in a short time afterwards their destruction appeared inevitable. In the state of confusion which prevailed last night in all the approaches to'the bridge, it was impossible to learn with any degree of accuracy either the manner in which the fire originated, or the exact nature of the materials on which it was preying. From the immense volume of flame which subsequently burst forth from the premises, we should be in clined to infer that the goods deposited therein were highly combustible, -and therefore to believe the general repOrt that there was among them a large quantity of sumach and barilla, oranges, • oil, and wine. - By ten o'clock, the blaze which they cast around was' visible in almost every part of the metropolis, and, as we learned from a gentleman Whtirn ,-it brought to town, was dis- . tinctly seen »pon Clapham-common, and in several of the adjacent villages. On leaving this office for .Thames4treet, we were surprised at the red and angry illumination which it spread over that generally dark and always narrow tho- roughfare. The evident impression of the mul titude hurrying along it was, that either the Cus- tom-house or some of the vessels moored near it were on fire; but as they approached Loncloni bridge-that impression was chanc - ed, by the in tense glare which was flung from behind upon the Monument and ,the neighbouring churches. The opinion then *as, that by some accident the wood-work about the newsbridge had taken fire— an accident which happened nearly a century ago, when the old bridge was under repair. At the bottom of Queen-street, many of the crowd turned their steps to Southwark-bridge, and there push- • ed and struggled as strenuously to pass the toll bar, as ever they did to pass the check-door of the theatre. On stepping upon the bridge the magnitude of the conflagration became more ap parent than ever. The whole line of churches in Thames-street was seen' distinctly through the gloom, and the Monument had a silvery bril liance ,cast around it, which it is more easy to conceive than to describe. Every thing between London and Southwark-bridge. was distinctly seen in the " red shadow" which the burning building " flung across the startled Thames. The windows of the houses on the Southwark side of the river were burnished Pike molten gold • by the reflection of the flames, which even cast a lurid light upon the numberless spec tators which were gathered OR its banks.— There was a fine contrast between the dark ness on the western side of Southwark-bridge and the blaze of light on the ' eastern side of it. It was almost impossible to see St. Paul's ; but even the most short-sighted, could discern the • ancient and venerable structure of St. Saviour's, in the Borough. About eleven o'clock,- the view down the river was, if we may use the ex pression, magnificent. The roof of the build— ings had then fallen in, the flames were shooting forth, through eight-and-thirty windows, fast and furiously, long lines of liquid fire, and, at inter- . vals, as the_ rafters thundered down upon the rooms below, columns of fire rose upwards in perpendicular flashes, as if some combustible substance had been ignited, which till-then had escapeil :the gcneral..destruction. The walls to wards the river, appeared to bend outwards.; and. an expectation prevailed very generally that the torrents of water which were seen playing upon them front- the direction of Fish-street-hill would, before long, fling them into the river. The anxiety of the spectators on the bridge, except Th which was crowded with vehicles of all de scriptions, filled with parties of well-dres.sed people, case on was o 1 i p d r o o n d - i b g r i i o d u g s e . , asenqxuieetnycewoafs the fire, ai b ld etw of ee t n he fe i a lu r of . pickpockets. The top . o s f eOa t nt h e e d .balukrades, were ind crowdede ve n o f witht Ii e individualslamp-irons The conflagration, however, did not assume the same imposing appearance here that it did when viewed at a greater distance. It repaid ; never theless, the trouble of inspecting it by the terrible • reality which it presented to the imagination.— el a er s te h gangs bridge,eott m h hn e e . . There was a clear and uninterrupted view through the interior of these massy premises, except where one immense beam, which had acted as a support to teo or three floors, was seen blazing away in solitary grandeur, as if it had realised the description of the poet, and were " by its own weight made steadfast `and immovable." The large cranes, which fronted the river, were also on fire, and at the time we saw them, the pullies and chains at the end of them were red hot, whilst the beams to which they were fixed were h e e i which rose as if absolUtely burnt black by the violent heat which surrounded them. A sudden gust of wind, which died away almost as boon as it arose, cast aside fora minute the dun canopy th o e f y fla w m e e re w s , above the building and displayed the inhabitants they( )th e were houses quietly stationed t a t i o se n a e t d ed in in th a e n m xi i o d u d s le gr o o i7ans y ocean on t a ll y : i o r f fi respectiveani flame a nct r a o w o a fs it . ini,, T i h n e the short moment in which utter h appearede Iple s d s u n r e i s n s g s he wave that was to ' ' olerwhelm them. There were several individuals on the outside of St. Magnus's church, busily employed in casting water on ,lye roof; and we should conjecture that there were also others in the inside; as it appeared, owing to the proximity. of the fire, or to some other cause which we did not learn, to be com pletely lighted up. At one o'clock, when we left London-bridge, the fire was considerably get under.; but long before that time it had effected he destruction of the premises,- and tip a gentles :nan observed, .was only burning on to gratify the anxious curiosity of the. public. A arcing de tachment of the Foot guards, was planted on London-bridge, at the foot of the inonunient, and at the. entrances to Upper and Low er Thames-street, to prevent the crowd from im p i , edin the working of the en g i nes . We did, e not hear that any- accident had occurred. The p e ople, with the exception of a few pick pockets, were extremely quiet and orderly. D ur i ng th e fire, several stars "shot madly from their spheres." A labourer, who was standing on Southwark-bridge, said; in a strong north country dialect, to a friend near him" lts --- no wonder that the stars should be anxious to get quietly out of the world, seeing that they have now e likelihood to be burnt out." Some Others were calculating on the b bil' pro a ity of " the Throes being set on fire," an • d wondering how such i catastrophe could happen without the ~ssistaace either of Sir W Curtis,t ha t e. W. fi rst of Aldernen ; or of Sir T. Lethbridge, that first of county gentlemen. = L d • 0 JOU ish
