That distinguished artist at flooring and parwliwg, Tenter,
bad his 1 benefit at tbe Fives' Court yesterday, and a
very handsome tribute was paid to this man of merit by •
full attendance of amateurs. The sets-to ■(forded muck of
queasily and more of quality. The following were the lead-
ing 011(1:•••
Cribb and Oliver nesde an excellent set•tn, but although
against the veteran Champion, in justice to Oliver he had
decidedly the best of it, and drew Cribh's claret. Oliver has
been taking very carotid training fur his combat with Gas
on the Iftth of June, sad be has gained much qnicknesa, and
rather astonished his friends. The Champion, 0.1 t►e eon.
teary, has been la the sunshine of plenitude, with his pipe and
his pall, and this set-to awoke him.
Res Barn and Harry Harmer (hewed off a batch of science
and rush, which gave much satisfaction.
Sampson sod Rasher made an entertaining set-in, or it
was rather a light in reality, with the gloves. Sampson
made no efforts to hit in the first two rounds, but he par-
ried too well to get hit. In the third round he chromed his
system, and let loose with his left hand, until Rasher's head
saddled about like a Chinese image, as seen in the streets,
and he had all the hest of the art.to. Brummagem will be
at work at them, and he has put the big black's fighting on
one side by the nobbing be gave bins.
Spencer and Burke also had a good tarn, as had the new
Gas man and Mason, but the former is too heavy • hitter for
the hitter.

Randall and Turner.—These heroes, first and second of
the light weights, spewed off very fine micron*. and their
parries drew forth much applause. la fact it was bat little
else, fur they are such adepts that bits are very scarce with
them.

Belcher shewed off upon Dittoes bead, and Turner re.
turned thanks and made his bow.
Most of the fancy left so be present at anot►er set-to at
buttocks and sirloins, at Belcher's, where the whole of the
mosey was made good for the fight between Oliver and Gas,
making the deposit of 501.-100 f. a aide.

Pins were brought from France in 1543, and were
first used in England by KATHARINE HOWARD,
Queen of HENRY VIII, Before that invention
both sexes axed ribbons, loop.holes, laces with
points and tags, clasps, hooks end eyes, and skewers
of brass, silver, and gold.

Ancient Liring.—Binhop LATIMRR, in one of his
court sermons before King EDWARD, inveighing.
against the nobility and gentry, and speaking of
the moderation of landlords a few years before, and
the plenty in which their tenants lived, tells his au-
dience, in a familiar way, that upon a farm of FODR
pounds per year, at the utmost, his father tilled as
much hind as kept half a dozen men ; that he bad
it stocked with a hundred sheep and thirty cattle;
that he found the King a man and horse; gave his
daughters rive pounds a piece in marriage ; lived
honourably among his neighbours; and was not
backward, in his alms to the poor.
