Twenty thousand people were in sight, and halt as many had no chance ot sreing that which night have taken place. Scroggins ano Turner met ; betting 7to 2 upon the forincr A hug vi.ry inadegit ite to. the numbers assetuhled wits formed for the be of the white hag men, notor;ots at Ow Car lisle will. The Seco.ols were CH) for Turner, and Oliver for Scroggins. It was more than itt hour before the ring (.011 1 be properly whipped out ; after which toe set-to tool: place, and the following is the order the sports :!--After the necessary confusion the men peeled in the fittest Order. Round 1. Two minutes were occupied in sparring, Scrog gins maracas - ring to get in, and Turner with his superior science to keep hint out. Scroggins hit first sport, hilt broke ground, and Turner returned short also. When the men got into play, Scroegins shewed much tight in the rally, hut did noteeseettte in his accestomed manner. Turner event down with a light right-handed hit. 2. The atti , ude of Turner put a construction of fighting Scroggiws had not keen used to. The former is a left-banded man, iiIPl sets-to with the left foot back, and the shoulder, to act upon effective leafing. Scroggins played off many pao tninimical figures to get in by placing heist fronts, and. in this he succeeded, and gave the first knock do , n blow, by his favourite right heeded hit upon the eye.--4. to len Scroggins was b g ging, so much was the fauePlail in favour after miss ing his fighting p o ints. Syneleoine of disorder appealed ab o u t the ring, which neither he persuasions oft he Comae! ntler-in-Chiefotor the im mediate justice- of the castigators present, could soled tie, seen with hursewhips with indiscriminate vengeance, right and wrong. T he Bellerophon Tare woekeil• onintbieneed by a hoetswat ..call, , acid the stahee the proprietorship nl the Pugilistic Cub, went to rack and tune, at the snit of (eerier:4f D , spoll, and the white hag men were the only Admirals. The ring wee all confusion : it was like the IlAy of Dutch Scott and Nolesworthy ; hundreds who had paid :is. and ss. for seats io waggons, had no chance of seeing what seat going on in the liner rine, and those oesly who had hardihood enough to take - the latent of action, could have a chance of discriminating between the powers and coal ificatimes of the hardy litter sailor who had conquered all before him, and i man who had vanqiiish-d a brave little man at the coat of his life. Whilst the lashes of whips were dying to keep out ma rauders. there was a delicacy to knowine :Oven the right of the ring, and such confo knit was never teeeire beheld. nee fought brevely, and they wre uncontroulably subject to the whip, hut it was by mistake. Dinuntiee and out and miters were reconciled to the mortification of the pa trician and the plebeian. Flavin,/ digressed thus much, we proceed to record a faithful delineation oft the battle. in A lapse of five minutes here took p lace for gidance, but stain. 4. In the confusion described, Turner ascertained his mea surement. Scroggins in going in left and right at feints, did not attract the notice meant with the coolness of Tenter. He judged well his length.. and had the best of a rally, and Scroggins chewed first blood from the, cheeks at the closes of it, and he was floored against his will. This was a. • novelty indeed that set a grit) at 3 to 1 duel 7 to 2. 5. Surat desperate fighting took place to the advantage of Set oggins who threw his adversary in a close, or rather fell with him, to rid themselves front hugging. iu t;. in this round Turner received a hit with a horsewhip close fighting, for the regular ring teen were jumbled with Line men for pa otection, against out and out. Scroggins worst of the round. The umpires, who had enough to do to keep the watches they held for tient, made ef sing nut, and a regular close took place. Even the ropes were gone, and the men were fighting amongst their partizans. Scroggins went in with the courage which belongs to hint, but lie was measured with much scien tific nicety, and floored, 7. The men made a determined rush at each other, hut Scroggies broke pound and was abroad, and Turner offen sively went up to his head and fought determinedly. He put the worst of this, and resolved himself into first prin ciples. e A manly round took place, if the amateur could have enjoyed it, and Turner had the best of it. Scregginshit sliort, and could not recover for second hits, before knapping. 9. In this round the pressure upon the men was so great that they could not be brought into safe competition. '!'heir seconds eettig out, and during the parley with eeir harry the men got to work and committed slaugwh i t d erreceiveu, Trd hi ner h ad vead the best of the round; h e broke gound, s te sney with much generalship, and he planted about four bite r but out of effective distance. Scroggins met with a novelty, and he went down with the last bit. 10. Scroggins with queer bellows fought off, but he had most decieedly the best of the round. He got in and made his hits, but at ill-judged distances . , and bath went down. men gut up both eager for combat, and alike beaten, but the umpires made up their minds that the contest men should fight no more, as his uncontroulable Majesty had all the vower, and the combatants were taken away. Ot the fight, 100 to 50 nur s es" respondent thinks it an equal match, but Scrogis for choice. Turner shuweil him self a very cool game man, fat superior to any thing Scroggins ever had against him. Atter cite men had left the ring, the anxious solicitude of the speculators kept the road impass - able. Such a motley lot was never before seen. It was three hours before any thing was known, oggio's friends insisted on his fighttag-out as Scr • the drawn combat. During the consulta tion of the Snges,, lhose who were in readiness sallied forth a -fo-littnt ing ride to Harling ton Corner, on Ho x unslow Heath, where Holt beat O'DonneJ in a gallant fight of 40 minutes, in which -much scieoce was displayed. The first fight lasted 26 minutes, in ,. eluding the intervals. • The SOeondlic Anniversary of the Covent- Gardeu Theatrical _Food was yesterdav celebented at the"Freemasons' Tevern ; the . Daft.! of Yong in the Chair. The company Was numerous and respectable. Oa the cloth being removed, the usual .series of loyal, and patriotic toasts were proposed from the Chair, and 'welcomed with toed aeclannoions by the company. " Non nobLv Mutate," " God save the King," " Hail, Star of Brunswick," " When t) , der in this Land commenced," " Old b a g, laud's ‘Voodett Walls," and " Britons strike Home," were istronig the sosegs and glees which toliowed, and were finely song by' SINCLAIR, 'TAYLOR, Bataannuttsr, and other Gentlemen of vocal celebrity. The Marquis of HuNTev, in a short but ani mated speech, ;nowise(' " The health of the Duke of York," which was drunk with three times three, MuitlSl thunders of applause. The Duke of YoRK. begged to express his high sense of th 6 honour which be had just received. He was most anxious to-forward the interests of the Institution, which those lie bad the honour to address were assembled to promote, as he ku.'w of none better entitled to support than that which hail for its object to provide for those who de voted themselves to the amusement of the public, when declining in the vale of years, and over whelmed with all the ills of penury, they had no resource het in the benevolence of th se to whom their best- slaysr.had been given. The generous efforts of`the last year would, he doubted not, be nobly sustained on the present occasion, and in this hope ne would propose " The health of Mr. Fawcett, and Success to the Covent-Garden The atrical Fund."—(Loud applause.) Mr. FAWCETT returned thanks for the honour which it had pleased his Royal Highness to con fer upon him, and unwilling to detain the Meeting long, be begged to say, he should he happy to coinleisse - what he had to offer, as its the first in stance, doing ihis, he should consult his own per sonal convenience, and in the next he had no wish to trespass unnecessat ily on the patience of the. Meeting. He however had a solemn duty to perform. He had been desired to address that Assembly on the present state of the Fund, had pledged himself to do so, and that promise re tnained to he redeemed. lie had besides another commission to execute—one difficult but delight ful, latiorintis but pleasant. '!'hit might seem pa radoxical-; but what he had said would be satis factorily made out when he stated the commission to which. lie had referred was this—to re turn to that Meeting the speechless thanks of those who owed the comforts they at pre sent e nit)yed to the charitable exertions made by those who had attended the last anniversary. What bud already been done would, lie doubted not, he well followed up, and the recollection of their benevolence, and of that of their most illes trines President, would be faithfully preserved, mu( handed down to other times. He was little disposed to fatigue the meeting by going into de tails ; hut two anecdotes, connected with the his tory of the Fund, he could not refrain from com municating, to give some though but a faint idea of the good which had resuited from the festival of last year, as but for the subscrip ions then made, those of whom he was about to speak must have gone unassisted. The first case he should advert to,. was that of an unfortunate Lady be longing to the profession, tvho had been left with five daughters dependent on her for support, and the eldest of them stone blind. A better Actress in her linealian the mother of this unfortunate family he berilly knew, and a more respectable woman could nut live. She was, however, reduced to the 'greatest distress she knew not where to apply for relief, when in this extremity she applied to. the Theatricel Fund for assistance, and through the liberal donations 'nece at the former festival, she was not doomed to apply in vain. The Com mittee bad been enabled to settle 201. a year on the blind daughter, and the teats of the widow and the orphan flowed that day in gratitude, to thank their betiefactois. The other case of which lie had spoken, was that of a respectable actor - ,Who had left Covent Garden Theatre, in the hopeof making a better provision for his family in the provilicial Theatres ; he, •hoWever, was unfortunate, and ,found himself with a family of seven children, sand with a wife in a consumption, wholly destitute. Disappointment met him ; Misfortune pursued lom : Despair seized him, when he and his wile were offered the situations of Master and Mistress of a School. The offer was joyfully, accepted, and the Actor-- s! Passing rich with .101, a year.'" • or thereabouts-he (Mr. F.) did not exactly know what,—Was emibled to live with his family, end this to .him was luatiry. 'I he first year was one of probation, and this was passed in a manner highly satisfactory to those tvlio procured him the situation, but by this tune his creditors had dis covered the poor man, and demanded payment of the debts lie had incurred.- This was fatal to his hopes; Ms 'ci'rcumstances known, his character would be ruined ; and the loss of his situation w on t(' follow. Overwhelmed with affliction, and half distracted, his wife bad applied to tilt:Thea trical F u nd for relief. The Committee had been enabled to afford it out of - the collection made last year, atm' thus a most interesting family had been saved.---(Applause.)—These cases formed but a part of the good which had flowed from the last festival; but these would, he doubted not, supply a -sufficient motive for continuing the sortie benevolent excision - 3. The " Vice President" WRS the next toast given. The Marquis of WORCESTER rose, and re turned thanks for the honour which had been done '' The memory of the Founder of the Theatri cal Fend" was the next toast. This was followed by "The Proprietors - of Covent Garden Theatre." Mr, r A w'oectur:returned thanks for the Proprie tors, and bore testimony to their liberality to wards the Theatrical Fund, and apologised for the ;11)sence of Mr. Harris, which he stated to be oc casioned by an accident. Ile shortly afterwards ,„ noun eed the Collection made that day, which was net then finished, to amount to upwards of 500/ exclusive of the liberal donation of 1001. from Mr, Coutts, which he believed to be the fifth qo.irter.

The following toest.vaair.given.--" The Land we live in, and those who tion't like it, let them leave it." Mr. Mathews sung the " Bang Up " song in an admirable style. " His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex," Was then given with three times three, with loud shouts (It applause. The Duke of _SUSSEX said, he had to apologise o the company for not attending them sooner, as hit July required him to do. There was no ad mirer of the Drama who must not feel. it his duty to support art Jostitutiou of this kind, and they might depend on always finding in him a firm sup porter. The cause of - his not attending at rid earlier hour this evening was, that he was obliged to he present at another meeting which bad the cause of benevolence for its obji.-c! ; and he knew very well that his Illustrious Relative who then filled the Chair would perfortr4 all the dut ies that were necessary for promoting the benefit of the present Meeting, while he was pleading the cause of charity in another place. They might be as sured, however, that he was equally ready with his dear Brother, to support their cause.—(Louts applanses.) Au excellent comic song was sung by Mr. Eme ry, which completely turned into ridicule all the modern fashions. „ The Marquis of Harrtley afterwards sting two songs ; and a song WAS Sling by the Duke of Sessex./ . The Duke of YORK took an opportunity to ex press his regret at the information he had received, that it was the intention of Mr. Kemble to quit the stage this season. In the departirre of that excel lent performer, the public would feel a great loss. His Royal Highness then gave " The health of Mr. John Ketnble," which was drank with ap plause. A variety of other. toasts, succeeded b r Y songs, duets, and glees, were introduced in the course of the evening. The drolleries of MATH ws and EMERY OCCBSlithilliy took place of the hariliOny Of the vocal pertormers present, and the whole pro ceedings of the day furnished a finely dramatic Melange of music, mirth, charity, and gratitude. The Royal Dukes departed about I 2 o'dock.— The rest of the company continued to enjoy their conviviality for a considerable time afterwards. During the greater - part of the evening the gal lery W 55 crowded with elegant females. FR T 111:1TRICALS. A Tragedy, in five acts, founded on TACITVS' history, and entitled Germankus, was produced at the Theatre Frangais on Saturday, and was the occasion of math ruMult. It is written by M. ARNAULT (one of the Journals, by the bye, makes a bull on the subject, 'and calls it " an anonymous Tragedy by M. :Prier& I") one of the Exiles or Tristes Antis attached -to BUONAPARTR. It is moreover Lull of allniimis applicable to the pre sent state of Franie,''' an'd' all the world knows, that the perfot mantic of 'a Play so circumstanced is equal to a complete reeolut ion in the annals of that Nation. Two or three curious matters, besides the' grand Row on the first night, appear in the Paris Papers. Three out of the four of Monday, which Llvava reached 11,,; 110tilleft " Phddrt/3",for that, evening; and 111 fourth announces Gernsanieus for the second time. We imagine, linwever, that the Police has interfered.to prevent its. repetition. Another phenomenon is applicable not so mach to' the Play alito the prAillsm.

We have not space to translate M. MARTAIN• vu.r.es second Criticism, but it appears upon the whole to be the opinion of the Newspapers, that the Piece , owed its applause roan overwhelming Party favourable to M.
