approbation of the performance, wits very Dame•
sons, and comprised massy fashionable characters.
We hope filiss blaciumtit's recess will not be •
protracted one. Her entertainment, though but •
s'::irt time in eltiMeOCe, had begun to create a con-
sc.terable degree of interest—and, when a little
butter known,' would be es attractive as any of the
rnenadremes which have ncently engaged the at-
tention of the London public—more attractive, if
intellect he worthy of admiration. Miss Nlacau-
s.'Lv's melange evinces intellectual palters of a very
extender' range, while, in most of the montsdnuises
to which we have alluded, memory, the sole de.
Tendency of the mere initiator, usurps the place of
rind. Should this Lady's project not succeed to
1. er wishes, we think it scarcely poseible that her
arinus talents would not insure her • profitable er.-

In this part of her performance she displayed as
much tette for the gay and humorous, as she had
previously done for the lofty and tragic, when re-
citing portions of the characters of Queen Katharine

Her *hole performance was received with the
loudest applause.

GR OID FIGHT BETWIEN DONNELLY AND OLIVER.

A meeting took place yesterduy on Crawley _mu.
mon, where Donnelly. the Irish champion, exhi-
bited in a fight with Oliver. fur two hundred gai-
afros. Ti.. figi.t was origin:illy filled to take place
two mile. from Goldstone, but the parquets belong-
log to the Army of Occupation found some roe-
Imes who bivouacked iu that quarter, and to Make
slfe the spot where the battle was fought, right
miles farther out seas riled upon. The wets ess
of
the moriiing was no damper to the admirers of
mill-
Scoots, end at least. did not thin
the ousubeta, as the frequeiliera of the prize.ria.g,
from the patrician to the prig, have but little taste
(or edification instiogst the Ciceronians. This
tight excited much interest by way of nation-
ality, and Dannelly's . prowess was proverbial
from his having vanquished such a man as Cooper.
It was complained of that Cooper was not used
fairly en the Curragh ; the best answer, however,
to that is, he did not choose to tight him in Eng-
land; and it is but fair to state, in respect to the
Irish, that the prejudice in favour of Oliver yester-
day in the London ring, was such as in Ireland
would not be countenalictd—and had Donnelly
rolled about and picked his places to lie down
upon, in the manner Isle of Wight Hall did
when fighting with him upon the Currnsh, the
ring would soon have been broken. Oliver is
the very gamest of onr brave men, but his ac-
tion is slow, and at 12st. 71b. lie was matched
against a mail of more Oro 14 stone. He signs-
Issed himself in defeating both Cooper and rainier.
The eonweocineers were divided between Smithfield
and the fight., but those present equalled their
antipode brethren in dexterity and in during, they
were as fast as any who ever said " stand" to a
traveller, but the Copthorners, who know so well
the taste of good Holland. without a permit, armed
themselves with darning. needles in selkdOince,
and sawed the buzz. Cribb was engaged by a Noble
Lord to second his adopted Oliver, and Shelton was
the bottle-holder. Belcher and Randall seconded
Donnelly, whose chief backer was the sporting
Colonel, and the great patron of Randall and the
Hibernian millers. Betting, 6t04 on Donnelly.
