LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT .OF KING'S BENCH—GUILDHALL. (Before Lord TENTERDEN and a Special Jury.) MARSH AND COMPANY'S BANKRUPTCY. BObLAND AND OTHERS V. NASH. In this case, Mr. CIIITTY opened the pleadinc , s, and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the case. The action was brought by the Assignees Marsh, Stracey, and C o ., l ate bankers, of Berner - street, to recover 2,7601. 1 ls. ld., the amount of , a bill of exchange, bearing date the 17th July, 1824. The defendant was the eminent architect, Mi. Nash, who it appeared kept accounts at two banking houses, at. that of the bankrupts, Marsh and Co., and also at the house of Messrs. Martin, Stone, and Martin, who were agents to the bankrupts' firm. The Learned ATTORNEY -GENERAL was proceeding to detail the particulars of the various transactions between the bankrupts and defendants, when Mr. F. POLLOCK, the Counsel for the defendant, interposed, and after some consultation it was agreed that a verdict should be taken for the plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (London Adjourned Sittings, before, the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Common Jury.) THACEDIORE V. SIMMONDS. Mr. PAYNE opened the pleadings. It was an action brought by the plaintiff against thy defendant, for keeping insecurely i n hi s close, near the high road, a wicked bull, by which bull the plaintiff had been severely injured ; the defendant at the time well knew that the bull was in the habit of attack ing all who came near him. Mr. Sergeant CROSS stated the case. The defendant occupies some meadow land near Tottenh am. Adjoining these lands is a large marsh ; and on the 12th of August all those who have a ri ght of common, turn their cattle out on it. The plaintiff among others put his cows there. A public way passes through the defendant's fields, and after having recourse to various expedients, for the purpose of keeping trespassers from his property, he -at length hit on the desperate one of getting a vicious bull. He avowed his intention of doing so long before he succeeded in procuring a proper animal. After much anxious inquiry he heard that some person in K ent was then about to kill a bull on account of his extremely vicious propensities. The defendant was cautioned against buying him; the bull was de scribed to him- a s notoriously vicious, " Oh," ob served the defendant, " he'll suit me all the better for that. The Tottenham peopl e are constantly tres passing on mygrounds, and he is just the thing to keep them off." He accordingly purchased the bull, turned him loose, merely fastening a chain round the animal's neck, by way of ornament, or perhaps for the ap pearance of caution ; it certainly, as the poor plain tiff could well testify, was of no effect in check ing hi m. The plaintiff- happened to be driving a cow along the marsh, when the defendant's bull leaped over the ditch, and after the plaintiff's at tempting to d r i ve hi m o ff—th e b u ll a tt ac k e d hi m furiously, butted him in the side, and broke his ribs. The Plaintiff had been since in a bad state of health and was not likely ,to be ever perfectly restored. Georg e Maudy resides at Farningham, in Kent, lad'kee s an inn there ; he knows the defendant, a , l attner, residing at Hadlow. The witness remem bered a conversation which he had with the defend ant, respecting a bull which a Mr. Pawley was an lious to sell; the witness cautioned the defend " Clot to buy the bull, as he was a very vicious one. U, never mind," replied the defendant, laughing, he'll suit me all the better. I have a mead near '°ttenham, where I am pestered with trespassers." A P e on present asked the defendant whether he would , P 14 e the proper and necessary precaution of giving n otice of thehull's being so dangerous. "Oh, let him lore notice himself," said the defendant, laughing. I heitness, at the request of the defendant, applied t 6 a person named Stockman, to drive the bull to T ottenham, but he refused, alleging as a reason, that the animal had repeatedly attacked people, and might Perhaps injure him also. William Fordo had a conversation with Sim °toads, the defendant, respecting a fishery near his g r ounds. The defendant said he was determined to get a vicious bull for the purpose of keeping per 4ela off his grounds. A bull was subsequently pro cured, and kept in the defendant's meadow. This meadow'was separated by a small ditch from t he marsh: - William Delano proved that he had written to t he defendant, cautioning him against keeping the hull in so exposed a field. Other witnesses were also produced, one of whom admitted that the plaintiff was lame before the bull hurt 'hi m. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE—I hope that a man is not to be attacked with impunity, merely because he happen s to be lame.—(A laugh.) Mr. Sergeant TADDY for the defendant, ad dressed the Court in a strain of great humour. The LORD CIIIEF JUSTICE in summing up, told the Jury that if the plaintiff met his death in con sequence of the attack of the bull, the defendant a would have be en airrahvated manslaughterlnter. The Jury then retired, and had not returned when our paper went to press. COURT OF REQTI - i - ---: T SINGULAR iNsTAt- S—KINGSGATE-STREET. A Mr. Aldridg e , , c 't or A SHOAT MEMORY. Morri " resident within the Hu r l T e etabl e painter and glazier, a answer a summons that b ad 1 1 , °f Ossulston, appeared to issued against him at the instance of Mr. James of enforcing the payment n f r 6 n : M.D. for the purpose bill for attendance, and medicin es ,: 8d - the amount of his a recent indisposition. uP P li ed to Mrs. A. during Mr. Aldridge said, the reason he had refaced t o di sc h the Doctor's account was, that he h a d ai arge an operation that to his and his wife's knowledge hint with been p e rf orme d u pon ben He had resisted ti had never i le payment solely on this ground. One of the Commissioners requested to k now what item it was that wa s t h e b one o f con tention ? Mr. At drid Bleeding my wife, Sir, Is. 6d.—(A laugh. )._Now she was never bl e d by• the Doctor at a ll, an d th ere f ore I cere tainly will not pay it. The plaintiff persisted that the charge was correct _h e certainly had bled Mrs. Aldridge, and he was ready to swear to the fact. Mrs. Aldridge said, she had been thinking repeatedly whether , the Doctor did bleed her or not, and she certainly could not recollect whether be had or not. She recollected he wanted, to do so. Commissioner. Why, surely, Madam, you must have an exceedingly bad memory, not to be able to say whether you were bled or not, I suppose you are not bled every d a y? Mrs. Aldridge.—Really, Sir, I cannot recollect. Commissioner..-. Then I shall order Mr. Morrison to be sworn. Mr. Morrison then made oath that he bled the lady, and by which means he had no hesitation in saying he had sav e d her existence. The Commissioners then ordered . payment of the full amount o f the bill to Mr. Morrison. The case excited treat laughter. The Princess AUGUSTA passed a quiet night ' , ll Monday, and was better yesterday. The Princess Sopni A visited her Royal Sister. Some of the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, and great numbers of the no bility and gentry, called yesterday at the residence of her Royal Highness, in the King's Palace, St. James's, to in quire after the health of the Princess.

IL Harrison, Esq., Chelsea, 16 tons, and Success, R. Hope, Esq., Tower, 17 tons. At half past ten the vessels were at their stations, and on the sig nal being given, they were quickly under weigh, the Suc cess taking the lead. The Will o' the Wisp, however, passed her to windward in admirable style at Erith Reach, and finally reached Blackwall about five o'clock, beating the Success by 21 minutes. FIGIIT BETWEEN REUBEN MARTEN AND YOUNG GAS, FOR ONE HUNDRED POUNDS A SIDE. Notwithstanding the prejudices which exist among certain beaks," paid" and " unpaid," in the home counties, against the ancient sports of the Ring, and the industry which they manifest in clapping the " stopper" on the amusements of the Fancy, their spirit does not seem to have obtained very gene ral adoption, but, on the contrary, to have pro duced an opposite feeling. This has been most especially evinced in the county of Hants, where, in defiance of the alarm which the singular conduct of Mr. Swabey and tie broad brims at - Staines might have been calculated to excite, no less a sum than forty pounds was raised by way of subscription, to induce some of the Prize Ring to go down and g ive a philippic to the dull monotony of " Life among the Yokels." At the head of this subscription were some of the most respectable gentlemen of the county : and, in consequence of the liberal encou ragement thus afforded, the two fights between Reu ben Mailen and Young Gas, and Ikey Dodd and Harry Jones, which were appointed for yesterday, were removed, not by certiorari, but bysa habeas, issued from the office of the Commissary-in-Chief to the said bailiwick. The ancient town of Havant, .within nine miles of Portsmouth, was appointed as the head-quarters of the belligerents; and thither they proceeded on Sunday, Reuben Marten entrench ing himself at the Dolphin, Young Gas at the Bear,. Harry Jones at the George, and Ike Dodd a t th e Black D og . The "office" was soon given through.: out the county of the intended treat, and the sensa tion produced was of the most extraordinary de scription. All ranks seemed equally on the alert, and every topic of discussion, save that of milling, was laid aside. In the course of Monday, the town of Havant overflowed with visitors from the sur roundingm- he anborfailgtdai aientlvtiaction, nr, h S fi ' cl i oti l le.it l eis a ni g tbl i iolu s ouns , ssot anxious oes prevailedalf accommodation ohil difficulty c t a oue l dlt z oto ; n:t :peeparltolobtainingeen from at hr o.i tu t dh li e e sotsfba c ci o ei e ne in ds, which, from there being but fire inns and public houses in the town, were only procured at high prices, the lowest figure for a very inferior " shake down" being five shillings. Many of the Londoners .proceeded on to Portsmouth, or stopped at Chiches ter, and thus saved themselves from the nailing sys tem ; although, perhaps, at some addition to their travelling expenses. Great pains had been taken to " make all right" with respect to the plaae of meeting, and posjtive assurances were given, that in Haling Island, which is in the parish of Bosmere; in the county of Southampton, and within two miles of Havant, no interruption would take place. The island is joined to the mainland,by a wooden bridge, on which the tolls are very expensive, and, therefore, this might be an additional inducement to give preference to such a spot; bnt from whatever cause the pre feruce arose, it was frustrated, as will appear in the sequel, in the most mortifying manner. At an early hour yesterday morning a few odd stragglers began to drop into head-quarters; but the great bulk of the amateurs did not arrive till about eleven, when a most lively and cheerful scene wds, p re sented. Carriages o f a ll d e scriptions, incl u di ng many drawn by four horses, tandems, curricles, lan daus, barouches, and gigs, came pouring into the town from every direction—Portsmouth, Chiches ter, Brighton, and Southampton, all furnishing their contributions. Particular attention was attracted by one flash drag filled with Corinthians, who were accompanied by key-bugl e pl a y ers , w h o i n f use d the most lively sensations throughout the throng by playing, " Hurra, for the bonnets o' blue," in good style; a tune particularly applicable to the scene, as blue was the colour both of Martin and Gas, and this popular song was composed . by Lee, a son of Harry Lee, the celebrated pugilist. As it turned out, however, harmony was not long to be the order of the day ; for, as the patrons of the fistic art came like a torxent from one end of the town, they were suddenly stopped by the approach of Tom Oliver, Harry Helt, Jac. Fishwick, Frosty-faced Fogo, and Jack Clarke, rushing from the other—their hair standing on end like " quills upon the fretful porcu pine." As if anxious to escape the fate of Hippo lytus, they seemed to seek safety in flight from some horrific monster of the sea. Fora time all were brought to a stand-still, and the alarm became general; but after a moment's pause an explanation was obtained. It turned out, that although there was nothing supernatural in the cause of their fright, there was sufficient to justify their speedy retreat. In plain terms, the " beaks," or rather the myrmidons of the beaks, were at their haunches. While busily engaged in forming the ring, on Haling Island, four constables approached and announced in a friendly way that they were arm ed with authority to apprehend Reuben Marten, and his co-boxers, if they ventured to exhibit their ta lents in the hundred of Bosmere, and therefore ad vised that some other scene, might be chosen for their exploits. This was sufficient • and hence their sudden return to the place which they had left. That such an interruption should have taken place was matter of general surprise, but it was soon explained. A pious gentleman named Leeke, who had been " a man of war," and had oft " followed some warlike lord to the field," had changed his character, and become " a man of peace;" he had, in truth, enlisted under the banners of the Bishop, and was then in the awkward squad as a candidate for clerical promotion, and sought this mode of ingratiating himself with his patron,. by rendering himself conspicuously officious. " The spirit moved him" to lay informations before a worthy Magistrate in the neighbourhood, who was constrained to act upon his application, and to adopt measures which otherwise might have been avoided. A Council of War was immediately held at the Bear Inn upon the course which it might be prudent to adopt; and after various suggestions, it was re solved to proceed to the adjoining county of Sussex. Westhourne Common, about four miles distant, was named as the new place of rendezvous, and thither the Commissary and his assistants, followed by the anxious multitude, at a round trot, set. forward, giving additional evidence of the extraordinary inte rest which such scenes are calculated to. excite in the breasts of Englishmen. Nothing could exceed the - regularity which pre vailed in this movement en 2nasse. No accident or disturbance occurred, and all reached the appointed arena in good order. REUBEN MARTEN AND YOUNG GAS. The stakes were soon pitched, an excellent ring was formed, and, at a given signal, Marten and Gas, who had come on the ground in carriages, each drawn by four horses, made their appearance at op posite sides of the circle. T►ey were loudly cheered by the spectators—dome thousands strong—and lost no time in flinging their castors within the ropes. Marten was attended by Jem Ward and Harry Holt, and Young Gas by Ned O'Neal and Dick Curtis. After shaking bands they proceeded to their toilette, and were soon stripped. On coming to the scratch, their condition appeared to be of the first order, that of Reuben Marten more especially— he was completely "up to the 'mark," but it struck us there was a delicacy in the appearance of Gas which indicated that he was not in rude health;' still he looked confident, and his countenance be trayed perfect good humonr. - They fought for one hundred pounds a side, and at setting-to Reuben Marten was the favourite at 6 to 4. THE FIGHT. Round ,1. At six minutes to one, operations commen ced ; each man measured the other with fixed attention, their guards well up, and their hearts in the right place. The ring was hushed in' silence, and all "kept the line" with military precision. But little time was occupied in manoeuvring, when Gas commenced with great spirit, by endeavouring to plant his right on Reuben's nob, his fist went over his shoulder, but Reuben was prepared, and hit him most desperately with his right also—the blow caught him under the ear with terrific force, and dropped him as if be were shot, his nose coming first to the earth. Deafening shouts proceeded from Reuben's friends, when Gas was picked up by his seconds, almost in a state of stupefaction ; his head rolled fearfully from right to left, and it appeared as if all was up. Curtis roared in his ear— the water was applied profusely, and at last when "time" was called, rather tardily, as some thought, he was sufficiently recovered to stand to his man, the odds being 5 to 1 against him. 2. Gas, as if conscious of his " ticklish" state, lost no time in going to work. He rushed in, hitting right and left, Reuben returning the compliments, and retreating so as to keep him to out-fighting ; but Gas would not be denied, he bored him to the corner, receiving a hit up as he followed, and was ultimately thrown. 3. Gas, recovering again, rushed to in-fighting, hit away right and left, but without precision. Reuben en deavoured to meet him with a flush hit in the face; but Gas got within distance, and nothing effectual was done. It was desperate, but wild fighting on both sides, and in the conclusion both.were down, Gas under. 4. Gas more collected, but equally on the hustle, charged With vigour, and hit away. Reuben retreated, and Gas hit him up with his right. A spirited rally fol lowed, and as Reuben was getting away Gas put out his leg and threw him. - 5. All were now surprised that Gas had so completely recovered from the shock of the first round, and the layers of sto 1 began to look blue. Gas, pursuing his bustling system, again took the lead with his right, but missed his blow ; he fought wild, but some of his blows told severely. Reuben was at him, and in the rally caught a severe smack on his larboard ogle, from which first blood was drawn. In the scrambling work which. followed Reuben went down on his knees, and Gas's friends were uproarious, weile Reuben looked serious. 6. Gas again commenced, and some good counter-hits were exchanged. It was a fierce and vigorous rally, in which science was set aside—fighting and nothing but fighting. In the course of which Reuben napped it on the nob several times. In the close Reuben was thrown, and Gas appeared the strongest. 7. Both set to work simultaneously ; in fact, Gas would allow no time for consideration. Reuben planted his one two in good Style, but received pepper i❑ return, and Gas put in another poser en his left winker, which began to swell. Reuben rushed to a close, and after a severe struggle both Went down. 8. The determined game of Gas, as well as the slight impression made by 11.2. hen's blows, now made him a de cided favourite, and bets were offered at 6 to 4, hut no takers. Gas set to work, but Reuben got away, hitting out as his man followed. Gas at last caught his left over his neck, and hit well up with his right, drawing more claret from hie eye and mouth, and linally.shoving him down. 9. Gas still a decided favourite ;',P *nee aside, and bored in, hitting right and left; R:, 76,1 5 , eated, iii thw hope of planting his favourite hits,' yy l , * ton quick, and although he caught somOtttftg4;_ .were not sufficiently effective to stop hi& ; at le th ti.

Gas was still a decided favourite, and Reuben's fare spewed the greatest portion of punishment. Reuben now changed his 'style of fighting, and instead of trying for workfavourite thes t raight l ' ' ' i t a u ' right and left, and planted his blows well.

Wild fighting on both aides—hit for hit—and severe returns, in which Gas received a serious cut over his left eye, and bled profusely. After a desperate rally both went down in a scramble. 14. Nothing but straight-forward tig'ntiug—desperate hits were exchanged. S' upping was out of the question, and weaving was the oiler of the day ; at last Gas went down, Reuben preserving his perpendicular, end retiring to his second's knee. His hard work, however, Lad blown kim, and be piped a little, but still looked all confidence. 1.5. Reuben came up all life, and planted his left with precision. Gas lost no time in returning the compliment, and the blows rattled as thick as hail-stones round each other's heads, some taking effect, others falling *art ; at last, Reuben made a terrific hit with Isis right at Gas's neck, on the same spot where he delivered the teazer in the first round, and again Gas was hit down as if shot; he was promptly picked up by his seconds, who renewed a chevy in his ear ; but he stood up and looked stupefied , — his manner was wild, and to all appearance he was inca pable of judging for himself; while in this state, and standing close to the ropes, time was called—to this, how ever, he was deaf—he did not move, and one- of his seconds said he could fight no snore. To this he made no objection, and Reuben was declared the conqueror in just sixteen minutes ; the fighting in each round having lasted upon an average thirty seconds. After Reuben had retired from the Ring Gas still stood by the ropes, and appeared insensible to what bad occurred ; while his backers showed great indignation, and, indeed, expressed in strong terms their astonishment, that a man who had shown such de termined game on former occasions, should have given •in while able to stand firmly on his legs , and then, too, in opposition to his own assertion, that he would die before he would say " enough." Gas, however, seemed insen sible to these taunts, and appeared still unconscious of what had happened. ArgASER. The singular change in Gas after the ISM round, excited the astonishment of the Ring, and from the turn which he produced in the fighting afterwards, all backed him as a winner. The determined pluek of Reuben, however, al though his science was put aside, enabled him to keep alive to his duty, and ultimately to convince his friends that their confidence Lad not been misplaced. Gas seemed per fectly aware that at eut-fighting lie had not a chance, and he therefore judiciously went to work with a resolution to allow no time for reflection ; but to keep Reuben constantly on the bustle. This it was which made him so decidedly a favourite ; but Reuben's returns in the same style were too much for him, and the second hit on the tender spot com pletely " sewed him up." After the fight was over he was walking about the ring, not much the worse for wear, and incapable himself of saying how he had been beaten. The cut over his left eye, and a severe swelling under his left_ ear, were the only prominent marks of punishment. From the expectations which bad been formed among the country folk" of Gas's prone., the issue of the battle was anything but satisfactory, and much disappointment was expressed. HARRY JONES AND IKE DODD. These men next entered the ring, for ten pounds aside, battle money ; five pounds aside, part of the Hampshire premium for milling and a purse. Dodd is the larger and heavier man of the two, and was backed at 5 to 4;' but the Sailor Boy soon proved he was the better. fighter—he jobbed him right and left, hit up in admirable style, and. in thirty-four minutes and eighteen rounds-polished him off, almost without a scratched face, again proving himself 011 b of the bext boxers of his weight in the ring. In fact, when he once gets the lead, his adversary has not a chance. Dodd proved himself a complete muff, and could not plant an effective blow. Jones was seconded by Curtis and Stockman, and Dodd by Joe Fishwiek and Lewellin.

Sra, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Oct. 13. A part of the local Press having manifested an unequivocal disposition to adasnbrate (a stronger term might, with propriety, be lieed,) the joyous reception which his Grace the Duke of Wellington experienced in the North, during his recent tour, I take leave to subjoin the following article, which ap peared in the Newcastle Chronicle this day. This paper being the avowed organ of the Whigs in this part of the country, the respectable Editor who con ducts it cannot politically speaking be supposed to be influenced by any thing like p partial bias towards the Illustrious Guest we lately had amongst us. He, however, aims at truth, and, as such,'he is de serving the thanks of honest men of all parties. Yes, most assuredly, " his Grace's reception was at once temperate and highly respectful." T. G. The visit of his Grace the Duke of Wellington to the North of England having excited , a strong feel ing of interest in the public mind, we felt .tt our duty to give, in our publications of the kat and pre ceding week, as full a report of the proceedings -at tending it as our limits would afford. That report, we trust, our readers would not fail to consider as faithful, at least such was our desire that it should be ; for being fully aware that it was the general feeling of the inhabitants, that political differences should, on this occasion, give way to what m ay b e called oreEng b li e sh re o ci revneadtionwailthfeealilingthe respect ; and t h at his due to one who had nobly played the part assigned Grace a m should him; and who had won for England all the glory which consummate military skill and valour are ca pable of bestowing, it was our earnest wish to act in full accordance with the public feeling. That there were not, indeed, wanting individuals who wished to give a political character to the visit, is true ; but these were but few in number, and con fined to the ultra,partizans of the high tory and po pular parties. Their endeavours, however, either to excite an undue degree of exultation or to arouse disapprobation on the other, - were alike unsuccessful; the public feeling was not in unison with either ; ai:d his Grace's reception was ,at once temperate and highly respectful. It was-not, WO ar'e aware, so noisy as has been witnessed on otirer oc casions ; but it was sufficiently so to he hig.b:y flatter ing : and if, after a lapse of twelve years," during which, unfortunately, his political - ironclad has often been such as to excite far other feelings than those of approbation, such an immense assemblage o f people could meet to greet h is arrival, and receive him so cordially, and such anxiety and curiosity should be evinced to behold him, how strong must the feeling of admimtion have originally been ; and how much must we lament that his Grace ever stooped to tarnish h is hard-earned fame in the pollu tion of contaminating politics, and ever put to hazard the high place he•had won in the estimation of his. countrymen. The errors of his latter days; how ever, were not, on the occasion of his visit, allowed to o bliterate the recollections of his former services; and the cordial manner in which all parties joined in greeting the able leader of their country's armies was not only highly flattering to his Grace, but creditable to themselves. Thus much we have thought it just to state, in. explanation of the feelings which we conceive to h ave actuated the public, and in refutation of some of the writers of in the Ult ra T ory party, w h o pers i st in,giving a political cha racter to hi s Grace ' s recep tion, and drawing conclusions from it favourable .to their own political views. That such might be the character of his Grace's visit, and such its result, there seems good reason to believe was . fervently ' desired iti certain quarters; but this dewe we are confident is doomed to be disappointed.
