On Fish-street-hill I stand, and gaze around On London's City, with its scenes surprising, And while I listen to each buy sound, I really cannot help soliloquising. Here have I risen, since the conflagration Which spread its flames in Sixteen-sixty-six, And many are the scenes for observation, On which at dyers times I've had to flx. I've seen the establishments of trade arising, And launching speculations groat 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'cr has London seen their lice till now. I've noticed MOSES' trade in all its channels, I've seen their garments elegantly smart, And 'tis my firm belief that London's annals Con , ain no record of so great a nrArt. On Flsh-street-hill i stand and gaze around On all that Loiion's trading scene discloses, But not a single object have I found More wouirrous than the princely house of MOSES. LIST OF PRICES.

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

Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. Gd.) called " What" to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " llow to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who ewes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—ta do unto others as he would be done unto—to live alter nature's laws—and to keep always on the " sunny side of the way."

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—No little surprise has hos m tofa o own s d t eos er,wkw,h ahednriiecds ht, tuashhr eba been created here within the past day or two by a extraordinary aa s wn t noc h ere r ek a o eam w n sn hundreds ieun reside.hed t e n h n ec o s de s i she created enr of men m c gte ei neighbour hoods con siderableuo alludeoumt necessary workmen alarm n a c mc or ol s i n t n 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 new 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 visit, each one more satisfactory than its predecessor to their Lordships. These works have been by each Government, since they were corn 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. Her 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, Plaster'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 mceed to Valparaiso to have a thorough refit, previous to sailing round Cape Horn for England The Cormorant s team-sloop, Commander Seymour, sailed fro m Arica. on or about the B th of this month, with a frei g ht for England, vin Valparaiso. The Pandora and Herald. surveying-ships, are each refitting, prior to sailing to the northward. The Juno, 26, hav in g re p aired d a mages sustained in a hurri c ane, is again ready for s ervice. The Admiral and family are we ll. Th e Admiral will go on the 13th instant for a cruise in the Sampson steam-frigate of about three weeks." The Recruit, 12 (iron), Commander Slade, is said to be a sad failure. She will not sail more than from five to six knots per hour. One side of her bottom is as smooth as new iron, having been coated witi. 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. Wooowretr, SEPT. g.—The Antelope steam gun vessel, recently built at Blackwell 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 today. Her arma ment is to consist of one 32-pounder of 42 cwt., and two 32-pounders of 17 cwt. each. The Hecate steam-vessel was taken out of dock to-day, and the Acheron steam-vessel taken in to be examined. The Marion, hired vessel, left yesterday afternoon with exiles for Van Diemen's Land and Port Philip. A number were brought down from Millbank Peni tentiary and from the Model Prison at Pentonville.

On Wednesday the election of the 16 Representa tive Peers for Scotland took place in the picture gal lery of the Palace of Holyrood, in Edinburgh. The attendanee of peers was greater than has been the case for some time, there being 31 noble lords pre sent. The galleries 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, Bellies 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 BUCCLEUCH rose and said, that the clerk had 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 BUCCLEUCU said that be 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 BUCCLEUCU, 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 Baleares being called, a protest was given in, in the name of that nobleman, to the effect that any vote which he should give at this 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 House of Lords. Mr. LISDSAT having called the name of Viscount Primrose, Th: , , Earl of ROSEBERY 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 :he 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 4igned his name Buchan and Cardross. Mr. LINDSAY said that they were unfortunately obliged .to go only by the written documents of Oa election. They would be obliged to any of theh 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 Nobh Lord being at present abroad ? The Earl of ROSEBERY said that the Noble Earl had applied to him on the subject, as he had tin , 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 N oble 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 BUCCLEUCH 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 CoLvux, of Ochiltree, who was sitting at the foot of the table, here rose and 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 ATHOLL 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, Forres ter, Elibank, Belhaven, Rollo, Colvill of Ochiltree, Polwarth-31. When the name of Lord Colvill, of Ochiltree, was I read, the Duke of Buccleuch handed in his protest against votes from the person assuming the title of Lord Colvill, :or Lord Colvill 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 recei4ing their votes. after he next thing done was to c all for the proxies; which the signed list sent by absent peers were read. This was a process which occupied a consideralsl time ; at its conclusion the names of the sixteen peers that had been elected as representative peers for Scotland in the next Parliament were announced as follows, with the number of votes for each : Marque of Tweeddale... 53 Viscount Strathallan— 54 Earl of Morton ... ... 54 Lord Saltoun ... .. 55 Earl of Home ... ... 54 Lord Gray ... ... ~. 51 Earl of Airlie ... ... 51 Lord Sinclair ... ... 50 Earl of Leven & Melville 56 Lord Elphinstone ... 54 Earl of Selkirk ... ... 53 Lord Colville,of Culross 53 1 Earl of Orkney ... ... 50 I Lord Roll() ... ... ... 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 labutbnott and Lord Ike , • t rawit SD. 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 Eglintoun ; Lord Napier, to the Earl of Dundonald-9. In the case of Lord Rapier, 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, IVemyss and March, Dalhousie, llilcarres, Breadalbane, Sealield ; 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 Lord Col 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 I meant to_vote for_Lord Colville, of Culross. Several Peers having expressed opinions similar to :hose 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 he 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, whieh may perhaps go, Ind 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 t ie io r n oll in ; a w n .h d ich on I t s h -e at ar r e oll pl t a h c e e r d e , i t s o aanLaodrd the vote was intended for him ; but we are constrained, b h y e r e t n h c e e t p o os t i l 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 BUCCLEUCII 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 rote 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 lot 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 intenaed to be given. Mr. LINDSAY then asked permission to state that he held in his hand a signed list for Lord Iteay, 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 el Argyll, Marquis of Huntly, Earl of Sutherland, Earl of Stair, Earl of 13readalbane, 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. His 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 .hosen 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 (one 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 ,elf at the table laden with silver, with its 21 covers And its delicious viands. There he sat, the victim cif poverty, subject to all privations, pervaded by a feel ing of sadness and desolation, at a magnificent ban quet of 2,000 f. 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 man retired in sad ness, thinking how many days he would be obliged to go without a dinner, while once a year he was c ompelled 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 CART.—A somewhat singular circumstance occurred in connexion with the recent visit of Prince Waldemar of Prussia to Earl Fitzwilliam, at Wentworth House. His Royal High tlesq, with his suite, among whom were Count Brisla, Count Groeben, and Baron Lauir, arrived at the Wortley Station on the Manchester, ShPifield, and Lincolnshire Railway, by the train which reaches there about twelve o'clock; and being anxious to proceed at once to Went worth, be 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, of making some inquiry, reported that post. horses could no, be obtaiaed 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• vehicles passed each other on the road withoutns recognition taking place, no one in his t ßoy itatn Highness The s t two al , and his suite knowing the carriage of Earl Fi z e w et a Prince and Lordship's servants not ex AERIAL BRIDGE AT TUB his suite travelling in a f a Xe c r tl a n t st a to r s k s e m s t - e r j eentrivance stretches market-cart.

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 apace 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 subjected 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 in a hori• z intal position is proportionate to in: resisting power when perpendicular.

PUGILISM. ALEXANDER KEENE AND JOSEPR Pimps Ton 1001. ASIDE.—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 its first proposal to its final arbitrement, one of the most 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 6 to 4, on the fair assumption that he was a man who had been tried and proved to be.deficient 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, 184, when at the age of twenty-two, he de!eated 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 Martin ; on the first occa sion at the Lower Hope, below Gravesend, on the 22d of September, when three hours were io present Martin a. e ar, declining when 97minutes t r consumed in a t e di ous, an d , l attel l y, a s hif ty en - counter; on th e secon d at Purfleet, May 26, i n t b e and favours49 roundsat his hands. resulted Still were there many, whosejudgment subsequently proved itself sound, who consideredp , who help's style as one which must succomb to a in perse veringly "stay" with him, and d n h could thought they had selected .in young Ke a one these youth, whose age is 22, has been for some timeene. k This in the sparring schools of the metropolis as clever, nown courageous, strong, and skilful with the graves,and his debut with the naked knuckle, near Twyford, in December of last year, when he for ce d WillianaCain, the brother of the celebrated Dick Cain, of LeiCester, to succumb, after a determined battle of 61 minutes, left little doubt of his capabilities of taking and re ceiving, if need should be. 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 fleshy 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 athlete. 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 ; andthe rollicking boniface of the Queen's Head showed his huge person in draught-board cos tume, clearly proud of the lei he hail at his corner of the 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 neighbouring dwelling. At a quarter past eleven, the men's toilette ,:ompleted, 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 let the principal actors to do their devuirs. While furnishing the tact of the more im portant contests of the day, it has ever been cur care to avoid that offensive detail and repulsive minuteness which may pander to a morbid taste, but cat; inform no admirer of the bravest mode of man's encounter, as needs must be that offences will come, and the best intentioned phil nthropists 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 near,r 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 Keent'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 satisfied 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 boxing. Again and again did he punish Keene on the head, hitting, how ever, too often across or too high, and dropping after ielivering 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 lie managed to get down cleverly. Still, it was clear to good judges, that although he pro tracted the fight by these tactics, 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 801) 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, yet 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.
