The picturesque church, in which is the grave and mo nument of Hampden, is near the house : and it is the wish of the noble proprietor to transfer with the mansion (with a few unimpor tant exceptions), the whole of its highly interesting and ♦aluable effects, the greater part being connected with its historical and other associations.

On Fish-street-hill I stand, and gaze around On London's City, with its scenes surprising, And while I listen to each hu-y sound, I really cannot help soliloquising. Here have I rises, since the conflagration Which spread its flames in Sixteen-sixty-six, Aad many are the scenes for observation, On which at dyers times I've had to fix. I've seen the establishments of trade arising, And launching speculations great and small, And now I witness MOSES' mart surprising, The undisputed rival of them all. In London's City much arrests attention, But, by Sir Christopher, I do avow, That Messrs. MOSES claim the greatest mention, For ne'er has London seen Weir Ike till now. I've noticed MOSES' trade in all its channels, I've seen their garments elegantly smart, And 'lts my tlrm beliet that London's annals Ccauain no record of so great a mart. On Fish-street-hill I stand and gaze around On all that London's trading scene discloses, But not a single object hav'e 1 found More wondrous than the princely house of MOSES. LIST OF PRICES.

A It A E. 31 One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, qttestienably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em hitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosimf, hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness sod social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health shouldform an item In the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.--N O little surprise has been created here within the past day or two by a most extraordinary and incomprehensible circum stance, which has thrown some hundreds of men out of work, and, as a necessary consequence, created con siderable disturbance and alarm in those neighbour hoods where the workmen mostly reside. We allude to the sudden suspension of those vast works connected with the extension of the docks and the new steam basin abutting on the new buildings, Portsea, and contiguous to the dockyard artillery battery, well known as " the laboratory field," on which spot are being erected a new infantry barrack for 1,000 men, a Lew jetty, or landing-place, for the public (the Go vernment having taken the old one into the dockyard works), and other highly important buildings con nected with the dockyard and arsenal, and their de fences, involving the expenditure of some hundreds of thousands of pounds, and giving employment to several hundreds of men daily. So extraordinary a circumstance was well calculated to injure the credit of the contractor, but we are happy to say that that gentleman (Mr. Peter Rolt), al though most seriously wronged by the sudden and unexpected order to suspend the labour upon the works, is not in any way responsible for the act. We have from time to time reported upon the various inspections made of these works and others in progress by the Lords of the Admiralty on their official and private visits, each one more satisfactory than its predecessor to their Lordships. These works have been by each Government, since they were com menced, urged on to completion by every means available to the vast resources of the contractor, and that gentleman has applied all the ingenuity at his command to meet the wishes of his employers, but all seems to have been thrown away. Some sudden check has been given from some quarter we cannot arrive at, the materials on the ground are to be covered up, the labour has been suspended, and some hundreds of artizans of all grades are thrown out of employment, with winter rapidly approaching them. The Kite, steam-transport, Master Commanding George Filmer, and the Netley tender, arrived here to-day with marines from Plymouth. The Kite sailed again for Plymouth this afternoon. The Princess Royal transport, Lieutenant William C. Harris, agent, sailed this afternoon for Woolwich. The Cambrian, 36, Captain J. 11. Plumridge, is progressing much more favourably in her equipment than could have been anticipated, considering the very small number of her working hands. She has her lower and topsailyards across, topgallantmasts pointed through, and her lower rigging sparred down for rat tling. A considerable portion of her running gear is also rove. The Trincomalee, 25, Captain R. Warren, is making great progress. lier sails are bent, and she is to be at Spithead by the 12th inst. Her armament is to be similar to that of the Amphitrite—namely, ten 68-pounders, fourteen 32-pounders, and a large pivot gun aft; all long guns. As soon as the dockyard men have done with her she will be ready to leave the harbour. The officers and men who were employed in navi gating the Comet and Swallow steamers to this port have been sent, by the Mercury tender, to South ampton, for a passage to Holyhead and Dublin by the Irish line steamer. The Comet has received new boilers, and is again quite ready for service. Mr Switzer, Master's Assistant, who was left in the vessel at Holyhead, to see to her fitting and take charge of the vessel, brought her round, all the other officers being away in the Fire Queen. Extract of a letter from the Collingwood, 80, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir G. Seymour, dated Callao, July 11 :—" We expect to be in England in about eight months. We do not expect to sail from Callao until the beginning of September, when we proceed to Valparaiso to have a thorough refit, previous to sailing round Cape Horn for England The Cormorant steam-sloop, Commander Seymour, sailed from Arica, on or about the Bth of this month, with a freight for England, vid Valparaiso.

One side of her bottom is as smooth as new iron, having been coated with Hay's composition ; the other side is very . foul, having weeds from two to three feet long adhering to it. This side was coated with red lead. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 9.—The Antelope steam gun vessel, recently built at Blackwall and made ready for sea at Chatham, arrived yesterday at Woolwich to take on board carriages and stores, and is ex pected to leave to. morrow for the Mediterranean station. The Porcupine steam surveying vessel, Captain Bullock, recently employed in conveying meal to the western islands of Scotland, arrived at Woolwich yesterday afternoon. The Charon steam-vessel has had her boilers re paired, and left this morning for Chatham. The Oberon steam-vessel, Lieutenant Commander Gardner, will leave for Chatham to-day.

On Wednesday the election of the 16 Representa tive Peers for Scotland took place in the picture gal lery of the Palace of Holy rood, in Edinburgh. The attendanee of peers was greater than has been the case fur some time, there being 31 noble lords pre sent. The galeric,ss presented an unusually gay appearance, and were crowded in every part. The election was looked forward to with considerable in terest, in consequence of its being known that the Earl of Dundonald (who was recently restored to the honours of the Bath) was a candidate; and a number of strangers had come from a distance, in order to be present at the proceedings. Principal Lee - and the Rev. Dr. Robert Lee attended as deans of the Chapel Royal ; and Messrs. Russell and Lind say, principal clerks of session, acted as deputies to the Lord Clerk Registrar. Messrs. Bruce, of Lang lee, and Nimmo, depute clerks of session ; Shiel and Carmichael, assistant clerks of session ; and Mr. Robertson, keeper of the general records, were also present ; as were also the Lord Provost, Bailies r Mack, Duncan, Ritchie, and Tullis; Treasurer Thom son, and Convener Cushnie. At a few minutes to tw;lve o'clock the Duke of Buccleuch, followed by the Duke of Athol!, entered the room and took their places at the head of the table appropriated to the peers. They were quickly followed by the -other peers. Principal Lee then offered up an impressive prayer, after which business proceeded. Mr. RUSSELL having read the proclamation order ing the election of the representative peers for Scot land, said that he had in his hand a commission granted by the Earl of Dalhousie, Lord Clerk Regis trar, to Mr. Lindsay and himself, as principal clerks of session, to officiate on this occasion. Mr. LINDSAY then proceeded to call the roll of peers. He had only read one or two, when The Duke of BUCCLETICII rose and said, that the clerk-lad departed from that which had hitherto been the practice at meetings for the election of Scotch representative peers, by reading a new list, different from what had hitherto been read and called. He thought it right to take notice of this fact, and that the clerks should state to their Lordships on what authority they had so altered the list they were now calling. Mr. LINDSAY said, that the list which he was call ing over was the great roll of the Peers of Scotland, omitting, in terms of the recent statute, which he held in his hand, those proxies in right of which no vote had been received or counted since the year 1800. Mr. Lindsay then read the statute to which he referred. After having done so, he said that he thought it right to mention also that the roll which he would now call was taken with great care from a roll authenticated and certified by the present Lord Clerk Registrar. Mr. Lindsay then resumed the calling of the roll. On coming to the Earls, which commenced with that of the Earldom of Crawford, Mr. RUSSELL said that he was directed by the Earl of Mar to read a protest. Mr. Russell then read the protest, which in substance protested against any Scotch earl's name being called before his, as he maintained that the earldom of Mar was the most ancient Scotch earldom. Lord BELHAVEN said that he was instructed by the Earl of Sutherland to protest against the name of any earl being called before his. The protest of the Earl of Sutherland was also read. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH said that he heard the name of the Marquis of Annandale called. Now, he protested against that title being called, inasmuch as that peerage had been dormant since the year 1792, and no person had made good his right to it. He did this as a matter of form. Mr. LINDSAY said, that the statute admitted of its being called. He then proceeded with the calling of the list, but on reading the name of the Earl of Stir ling was interrupted by The Duke of Bocci.mica, who protested against the calling of that title for the same reason that he protested against that of Annandale. The Earl of ROSEBERY said, that he begged to state that he adhered to the protest which the Duke of Buccleuch had given in, both with respect to the title of Annandale and that of Stirling. On the name of the Earl of Balcarras being called, a protest was given in, in the name of that nobleman, ;o the effect that any vote which he should give at ;his election should not prejudice or affect his right to the older dignity of the Earl of Crawford, his claims to which are now pending in the louse of Lords. Mr. LESD3AY having called the name of Viscount Primrose, Th.! Earl of BOMBAY said, that the title had been called to-day in consequence of his having, inadver tently, at an election a few years ago, answered to it, under the belief, at the time, that it was merged in one in virtue of which he had the honour of sitting and voting with their Lordships. He was, however, now thoroughly convinced that the title was extinct ; and he regretted that it had been called to-day. He wished to be allowed to enter on the minutes that he held it to be an extinct peerage, and that it ought not to be called, either on this or on future occasions. The calling of the names was then proceeded with. After the clerk had read several, The Duke of BUCCLEUCH rose and said, that he thought it right to take this opportunity of remarking that he observed two or three names had not been called, certainly titles which had merged in other titles. For instance, that of the Earl of Ancrum, which had merged in that of the Marquis of Lothian. (Several Peers here remarked to the Noble Duke that the name of the Earl of Ancrum had been called.) The name of Lord Cardross had not been called. He mentioned it particularly, because he recollected a few years ago the Earl of Buchan answered to it, and signed his name Buchan and Cardross. Mr. LINDSAY said that they were unfortunately obliged to go only by the written documents of the election. They would be obliged to any of their Lordships who would inform them of any such cir cumstances similar to that just mentioned by the Duke of Buccleuch. The Earl of DUNDONALD wished to know whether he could act with Lord Napier's proxy, that Noble Lard being at present abroad ? The Earl of ROSEDERY said that the Noble Earl had applied to him on the subject, as he had the honour of introducing into the House of Lords the Bill for affording facilities to Peers abroad voting at this election without being under the necessity of coming home. Now, for his information, and also for the information of other Noble Lords, he might state that the Bill passed the Lords, but was suspended in its progress through the Commons, and therefore that it was not the law of the land. On the name of Lord Colvill, of Ochiltree, being called. The Duke of BUCCLEUC II rose and protested against the calling of the title, seeing that it had been dor mant certainly since the year 1782. It was received here under protest upon a late occasion; and he now protested in his own name, and the names of those who might adhere, against the person assuming the title of Lord Colvill, or Lord Colvill of Ochiltree, being allowed to vote here. Lord Convinn, of Ochiltree, who was sitting at the foot of the table, here rose, a nd read some ex tracts, which were quite inaudible, from the statutes affecting the question, in vindication, as we under stood, of his right. The Duke of ATUOLL seconded the protest. Mr. LINDSAY then read over the list of their Lord ships' names who were present, which was as fol lows :—The Dukes of Buccleuch and Queensberry, Atholl, Montrose ; Earls of Morton, Eglintoun, Home, Haddington, Lauderdale, Airlie, Carnwath, Leven and Melville, Selkirk, Dundonald, Orkney, Rosebery, Glasgow ; Viscounts Stormont, Dun blane, Strathallan ; Lords Saltoun, Gray, Cathcart, Elphinstone, Blantyre, Colville of Culross, Forress ter, Elibank, Belhaven, Rollo, Colvill of Ochiltree, Polwarth-31. When the name of Lord Colvill, of Ochiltree, was read, the Duke of Buccleuch handed in his protest against votes from the person assuming the title of Lord Colvill, ;or Lord Colvin of Ochiltree, being re ceived or tendered, stating that he should not be al lowed to vote either here or at future elections until he had proved his title in the House of Lords. The protest was signed by the Duke, and by a great number of other Peers. The oaths of allegiance, abjuration, and supremacy were then administered to the Peers, and were handed round and signed by them. The list of their Lordships present was again called over, for the purpose of r eceivin g their votes. The r next thing done was to call for the proxies ; after which the signed list sent b y absent peers were ,i t r e i e m a e d.. This was a process wh ich occu p ied a consid rat h , at its conclusion the names of the sixteen peers tat had been elected as representa tive p eers for Scotland in the next Parliament were announced as follows, with the number of votes for each : Marqus of Tweeddale... 53 Viscount Stra 55 thallan... 54 Earl of Morton ... 54 Lord Saltoun . . Earl of Home 54 Lord Gray 5 1 Earl of Airlie ..• ... 51 Lord Sinclair ... ... 50 Earl of Leven & Melville 56 Lord Elphinstone ... 54 Earl of Selkirk ..• ... 53 Lord Colville,of Culross 53 Earl of Orkney ... 50 Lord Rollo ... ... 49 Earl of Seafield ... 53 Lord Polwarth 53 The only alteration in the above list from that of the representatives of the Scotch peerage in the late Parliament is the substitution of the names of Lord Elphinstone and Lord Rollo for those of Viscount Arbuthnott and Lord Roy. The following are the names of the noblemen who sent proxies :—The Duke of Lennox, to Lord Sal toun ; the Duke of Argyll, to Lord Belhaven ; the Duke of Sutherland, to Lord Belhaven ; the Earl of Cassilis, to the Earl of Eglintoun ; the Earl of Aber deen to the Earl of Morton ; the Earl of Stair, to the Earl of Rosebery ; Viscount Falkland to the Earl of Rosebery ; Lord Sinclair, to the Earl of Eclintoun Lord Napier, to the E a rl o f Dundonald-9. - In the case of Lord Napier, the proxy could not be used, the Noble Lord being abroad. The following Peers voted by signed lists :—The Dukes of Hamilton, Roxburghe ; the Marquis of Iluntly, the Earls of Mar and Kelly, - Moray, Gal loway, Kinnoul, Dumfries and Bute, Wemyss and March, Dalhousie, Balcarres, 13readallane, Seafield ; Lords . Somerville, Torphichen, Cranstoun, and Kin naird-17. A curious incident occurred in connexion with the signed list sent in by Lord Cranstoun. Among the Peers for whom his Lordship voted was LordCol ville, without specifying whether Lord Colville of Culross, was meant, or Lord Colvill of Ochiltree. A discussion arose as to which of the two names the vote was to be set against. Lord Colville, of Culross, said that there could be no doubt that his friend Lord Cranstoun intended to vote for him. The Duke of Buccleuch said, that he had examined the oaths that each of their Lordships had signed, and especially the way in which the signatures of Lord Colville, of Culross, and the person who claimed the title of Lord Colvill, of Ochiltree, were made. Now, he found that the signature of Lord Colville, of Culross, had an eat the end of it, whereas that of the person claiming the title of Lord Colvill, of Ochiltree, was spelt without an e at the end. Lord Cranstoun, in his list, spelt the name of Lord Colville with an e at the end of it ; and, in these circumstances, he pre sumed there could be no doubt that Lord Cranstoun meant to vote for Lord Colville, of Culross. Several Peers having expressed opinions similar to those of the Duke of Buccleuch, but at the same time stating that the matter must be left to the deci sion of the clerks, Mr. Lindsay said that lie and Mr. Russell wished to be allowed to consider the subject for a few minutes. After consulting with Mr. Russell a short time, Mr. LINDSAY said, I have to express the deep re gret we feel in announcing what we conceive to be our duty on this occasion, which may perhaps go, and in fact does so, against our own sense of what is meant. We sincerely believe the statement made by Lord Colville, of Culross, to be correct, namely, that the vote was intended for him; but we are constrained, by the position in which we are placed, to an ad herence to the roll ; and on that roll there is a Lord Colvill without express condition or qualification, and there is a Lord Colville, of Culross. We receive this vote without qualification or condition, and are con strained to receive it for Lord Colvill only. The Duke of I3uccLEucit protested against this, the more particularly as it had been stated by the clerk at the table that it was the feeling of himself and Mr. Russell that this vote of Lord Cranstoun's was intended to be given for Lord Colville, of Culross. This was a very important case, and one which he could not pass over without taking notice of. Not only had the clerks stated who was the person for whom they intended to record this vote, but they also stated that they recorded it contrary to their opinion of the person for whom they believed it was intended to be given. Mr. LINDSAY then asked permission - to state that he held in his hand a signed list for Lord Reay, which they could not receive, in consequence of there being no evidence of his Lordship being qualified by having taken the prescribed oaths. We may mention that the following peers voted for the election of the Earl of Dundonald :—Duke of Argyll, Marquis of Huntly, Earl of Sutherland, Earl of Stair, Earl of Breadalbane, Earl of Carnwath, Earl of Glasgow, Viscount Dunblane, Lord Elibank, Lord Torpichen, and Lord Cranstoun. The proceedings were concluded about half-past three, having occupied upwards of three hours. In the evening the Peers entertained a numerous party of friends at a sumptuous dinner in Gibb's Royal Hotel, Prince's-street. Among the company present were the Lord Provost and magistrates. A CURIOUS WILL. The Courrier des Etats Unis gives an account of a singular will left by a wealthy notary in Paris, about 25 years since, and which is yet in course of fulfil ment. Ills greatest pleasure in life had been to gather his numerous friends around his table and treat them splendidly, being generous and a good liver, and he conceived the notion of perpetuating these social gatherings after his death. Accordingly, by his will he instituted an annual banquet for twenty of his chosen friends, appropriating to the purpose the sum of 2,0001. The details of the feast were strictly en joined, directing the expense always to be 100 f. a head. The memory of the deceased was to be toasted, and the subject of conversation to be as friendship or politeness might dictate. The feast was to be invio lably the same same, twenty-one plates to be always set (olie for himself as perpetual head of the table), and the 2,000 f. to be expended. The first year the twenty friends were all there, but year after year they were removed by death, until in twenty years they were reduced to eight. These partook as custo mary of the feast, and toasted the memories of their departed companions. Last year, however, there were but two, who solely shared the luxurious but melancholy banquet. The two knew each other but little, and met yearly at this table. Their positions were very different. One was very rich, while mis fortune had reduced the other to destitution. The rich and tho poor man sat coldly opposite to each other, until, warmed by the wines, they had forgotten their different circumstances. On the Ist of June, this year, the feast again returned, but the rich man was dead, and the poor and only survivor seated him self at the table laden with silver, with its 21 covers and its delicious viands. There he sat, the victim of poverty, subject to all privations, pervaded by a feel ing of sadness and desolation, at a magnificent ban quet of 2,0001. Pressed by his wants he made bold to request that the sum which was supplied to this yearly feast for himself might be appropriated to his daily sustenance. The lawyer showed him the posi tive clause of the will, which he was compelled to see executed to the letter. The poor m an retired in sad ness, thinking how many days he would be obliged to go without a dinner, while once a year he was [ compelled to be surfeited with a feast prepared for 21 persons, and valued at 2,000 f. A singular piece of folly truly. A PRINCE TRAVELLING IN A CA/tT.—A sornewha, singular circumstance occurred in connexion with the recent visit of Prince Waldemar of Prussia to Earl Fitzwilliam, at Wentworth House. His Royal High ness, with his suite, among whom were Count Brisla, Count Groeben, and Baron Lauir, arrived at the Wortley Station on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, by the train which reaches there about twelve o'clock; and being anxious to proceed at once to Went worth, he endeavoured to obtain post-horses to attach to the travelling carriages in which they had arrived at the station. The officials at the station, being unacquainted with the distinguished rank of their passengers, tater making some inquiry, reported that post. horses could not be obtained in the neighbourhood, and that the only means of conveyance available was a spring-cart belong • ing to a neighbouring farmer. His Royal Highness and suite availed themselves of this vehicle, in which they arrived safely at Wentworth-house. The adventure did not end here. A carriage and four, with outriders, had been dispatched to meet his Royal Highness, who was not expected to arrive by so early a train. The two vehicles passed each other on the road without ant recognition taking place, no one i n his Royal Highness suite knowing the carriage o f Earl Fitzwi P m r'in a c n e d a h n i d s Lordship's servants no t ex p ecting to meet h his suite travelling in a farmer's market-carzt. AERIAL BRIDGE AT TUE SURREY ooLoawAL • f water in the grounds o the gar en , across a piece o GARDENS. —This curious and novel co d ntri f v stre d tc e s s d span of 85 feet f r om one abutment to the • oanthderh.as I a t consists of four bars or sp is- Th ars of deal, at a tanc e of somewhat about a foot asunder. These spars a re u nited by transvers e bars or p ieces of fiat deal, into which they are dovetailed, the transverse bars being to afford flooring or rafters for the flooring of the bridge. The longitudinal spars or bars are at the abutments about four inches thick by three in width, and gradually taper towards the middle of the bridge, where, for a space of six feet, they are not more than a square inch in thick ness. They are not entire pieces. of deal, but are pieces of about 18 feet in length, joined with marine glue. They have already been subjeeted to a weight of three tons, but will, it is affirmed, support six times that weight. The invention is not secured by patent, but is-open to anybody to adopt. It is that of Mr. Remington, of the United States, where it has been successfully employed. It has also been used in steamers in America, in order to support the boiler or engine, and throw the weight more equably on the vessel by removing it from the centre, so as to avoid " hogging," or bending the back of the craft. It is an invention well worth being examined. The prin ciple is derived from the known tenacity of the fibre of wood, and the fact that its sustaining power lin a hori zontal position is proportionate to its resisting power when perpendicular. The Commissioners for the British Fisheries have issued their new report, from which it appears that the herring cured during the year ending January 5, 1847, amounted to 607.451 barrels , bein g an increase on the previous year of 74, 805 b arrels. The greatest fishery station in the country is Wick, at which about one-sixth of the gross quantity was cured, --Edinburgh Advertiser, r- 1 - z , - . - - , - - ) PtIGILISM. ALEXANDER KEENE AND JOSEPH PEET,P FOR 100/. A-SIDE.—The contest, which took place yester day, and of which it is our present intention to pre sent a brief sketch, was, doubtless, from the time of first proposal to its final arbitrement, one of the st interesting and doubtful in its issues of recent matches. , The respective merits of the men as ex ponents of the art pugilistic, were considered by those best versed in the tactics of self-defence, so nicely contrasted and balanced as to leave in extreme doubt by which the palm of victory would eventually be won. Phelps, however, as best known in the betting circles, made their favourite at 7 and G to 4, on the fair assumption that he was a man who had been tried and proved to besleficient in neither courage, strength, lasting, nor temper; while his consummate tact in avoiding punishment had showed itself, on former occasions, too much for his antagonists. We may here observe that Phelps, who is a most inoffensive, civil, steady, and well-conducted young fellow, made his essay as a pugilist in October, 1545, when at the age of twenty-two, he defeated Barnash, of West minster, in a style which showed considerable tact and steady perseverance against superior strength. In 1846 and 1847, he was twice victor in contests with Sam Alartin ; on the first occa sion at the Lower Hope, below Gravesend, on the 22,1 of September, when three hours were consumed in a tedious, and, latterly, a shifty en counter ; on the second at Purfleet, May 9 6, in the present year, when 97 minutes and 49 rounds resulted in Martin decliniog further favours at his hands. Still were there many, whose judgment subsequently proved itself sound, who considered Phelp's style as one which must succornb to a man who could perse veringly " stay" with hi in, and such a one these thought they had selected in young Keene - . This youth, whose age is 22, has been for some time known in the sparring schools of the metropolis as clever, courageous, strong, and skilful with the ghi ves , an d his debut with the naked knuckle, near - Twyford, in December of last year, when he forced William Cain, the brother of the celebrated Dick Cain, of Leicester, to succumb, after a determined battle of 61 minutes, left little doubt or his capabilities of taking and re ceiving, if need should he. The weight of each man was restricted to 9st. 71bs.; and they both in tip-top condition came a couple of pounds short of the stipu lated balance. Phelps, who had taken his breathings firstly in Wilts, and latterly near Woburn, Beds., under the eye of Young Sambo (Welsh) appeared a trifle more flashy than on former occasions, still his eye was bright, his aspect cheerful, his step springy, and his confidence of the first quality. Young Keene, on the other hand, was all his friends could wish for an aspiring and youthful atldite. He was, to use the standard phrase, "as hard as nails," and displayed in his general bearing that quite, sub dued self-reliance which generally accompanies re solved purpose and innate bravery. His training under the lively Bob Fuller, at Jem Burn's retreat, the Greyhound, Fulham- fields, had been admirably carried out ; and the rollicking boniface of the Queen s Head showed his huge person in draught-board cos.- ;ume, clearly proud of the lad he had at his corner. of ;he roped quadrangle. His height, 5 feet 8 inches, gave him a trifling advantage in reach, but of course, at equal weight, detracted proportionately from the bulk of his muscle. Despite his length, however, he positively looked the thicker man. At a few minutes after 11 o'clock those in the secret found themselves on Working-common, a short distance from the South-Western Rail, around a ring so well pitched by the grey-headed and civil veteran who for so many years has performed the duties of "Commissary of the P. R," that its position was invisible from the travellers on the rail itself, and completely secluded from the view of every/ neighbouriw At a quarter past eleven, the men's toilette completed, they advanced to the scratch, and then and there having shaken hands, they stood up. Their seconds, Hannan and Fuller, for Keene, and Jem Turner and Sambo for Phelps, retired to their respec tive corners, and left the principal actors to do their devoirs. While furnishing the fact of the more im portant contests of the day, it has ever been our care to avoid that offensive detail and repulsive minuteness which may pander to a morbid taste, but cah inform no admirer of the bravest mode of man's encounter, as needs must be that offences will come, and the best intentioned philanthropists are forced to admit the necessity of '' fighting upon occasion." Hence, as we have before remarked, we prefer an outline of the main features of the fray, rather than a minute record of " all th' occurrences of a heady fight." The style and attitude of both men was of the modern school. Each man kept his hands well up, in an easy and unconstrained position, his left foot a little in ad vance, balanced on the right, alike ready to lead off or step back, as circumstances might require. After some minutes spent in sparring, each seeming anxious for his opponent to break ground and betray his style of opening the ball. Phelps having gra dually- got nearer his work, popped in his left sharply on Keene's proboscis, and jumping back avoided his return ; shortly after a slight trickle of the crimson fluid told that Joe had been " knocking at the door," and this won the "first event." Some more stopping and parrying led to Keene's getting home his right on Phelps's ribs, and after another break away, and several rattling exchanges, the combatants closed, and both went down, Phelps undermost. The first round was a specimen of the battle. Keene proved himself the stronger man, and Phelps having Eatistied himself that he should do little by wrestling, after the first 15 rounds, began a style of dropping to avoid, kneel. ing and slipping through his adversary's hands in the closes, which we regret to say is but too prevalent among modern practitioners of b ox i ng . A ga i n an d again did he punish Keene on the head, hitting, how ever, too often across or too high, and dropping after delivering his blow. This led to continual appeals ; Keene, in his over-eagerness to fix his shifting oppo nent, more than once letting his hand go, when it was doubtful if his adversary was not down, according to the rules of the ring and of fair play. The worthy baronet, however, who kindly accepted the office of referee, determined to adhere to the "stand . up" prin ciple, ordered the men on each appeal to " go on. The receipts on either side were pretty fairly balanced, and for an hour and a half, neither scale preponderated materially. Keene bore up with undi minished strength and courage, driving his man to his corner, where he managed to get down cleverly. Still, it was clear to good judges, that although he pro tracted the fight by these tactica, he did but little towards achieving victory. Indeed, he could not avoid every now and then receiving an ugly smack to accelerate his descent in return for his retreating de liveries. At the end of the 80th round, and second hour, Phelps was evidently in trouble, although cheerful and active. He could not get " on" to his man, and when they countered his blow seemed with out force. Keene's left was also damaged, )et he used it often and effectively. The stopping on both sides, too, was good. Keene shortly atter made a decided turn in his favour, when Phelps, determined to bring matters to an issue, stood up firmly for a rattling rally, which ended in the latter going down from an undeniable one-two on the body and head. From this moment poor Joe fell off—he had expended his ammunition, and, with the 118th round, struck his flag to his Keene antagonist, three hours all but two minutes having elapsed from their first standing up. Victor and vanquished then once more grasped hands, and the assemblage hurrying to the station, were quickly flying on the wings of steam to the great ville—satisfied that though in one point the fight had not been first-rate, each had done his best, and the best man had won. T. OLIVER AND SPICER.—,The son of " Old Tom," and Spicer, of Chelsea, fought on Wednesday! near Croydon, for 10 sous. a-side. Oliver was the winner, after an indifferent contest of 1 hour 43 minutes.
