ford baker, and Nash, the Kingdon moo, both haring ac-
quired a fair c►aracter in the prize ring. Oliver and Peter
Sanders serotided Higgins, and Turn Jones and a good
Kingston commoner picked up Nash. Bettie' was even, or
the Kingston mom for choke.
In the first round there were some smart exchanges of
blows without producing soy visible effect. Nash was
thrown from the close by the superior strength sod length
of hivaatagotiist.

I. It was evident lo this early stage of the battle ills( Nosh
mould not get lot to place his favourite right-handed birds-
blow as he wished. Higgins had moo much length for him,
and he hit him with the lert baud on the head and threw hits.

3. Nash made all the play, but he could nut get to do bus
work to his mind. Higgius met hint with the left hand on
the head, and floored him.
4. The backers of Nash here began to get team ending

blows told tales.

adversary again. He cuatiniied to lead in the battle until
t►e 10th round, when he was stopped short in his glory by
a tie-up hit is the wind. Oliver s good seconding. pretreated
the battle being lost at t►e time, by rousing she man helves
the word "enough" could be pronounced. In two moods
after Higgins recovered himself, and won the fight in rather
more tbs. an hour. It was closed by Nash receiving a
holey hit in the act of falling.

A bull-bait followed ; end the bull, iu crossing she river in
the ferrybons, where some of the country disputants were

A correspondent states, liat the late Duchess of
NEWCASTLK was, in every respect, an ornament to
her family. Devoted to the care and superin-
tendence of a young and nuitierotio family, anxi-
ously promot►ng the liapplueas oilier husband, kind
and considerate to her wervaida and d..pendants,
this excelleut woman gained the love and esteem
of all around her. The principles and dirpositions
of the Noble Duke rendered him very capable of
appreciating the worth of Ina amiable partoer, and
be proved that he did so, by heing a faithful and
affectionate husband. The Duchess had liimaght
to him a very considerable addition to his property,
but the manner in which they lived together bah..
ciently manifested that their union was founded on
a far more lasting hulas thou the love of money
on his part, or that of rank on hers. Death re-
moved her from him when she was little more than
thirty years of age, leaving a nemerous family, the
rapid increase of which probably occasioned her
early death.
We understand that the farmers in the parish
of Hartland have bound themselves not to use thei►
