REMARKS.

Both men received heavy punishment. and although Davis
is not of tie hest breed nu more than ?smite, yet his right
lr.nd is so very heavy that the battle never was safe unit it
oils over. De is iiiferior to all Cie light weights of the
present day, both in goodness and in science, and he has an
incurable t 01l of letting an adversary know by a motion
before hitting when the right hand is coming. Turner is
One of the best men in England, and punishment led him on
to gallant play. tie 'Willies an nilrersary in workman-like
manner, ard is alwri)s cool and collected. The battle
lasted :lb minutes.

Ater the hattle between Turner and Cyrus Davis,
there was another desperate littlit between Holt and
David Hudson. They fought 89 room,s with various
success. Iti the last round Holt continued to tight, but
he could not stand i.p to receive tie hitting of Hudson,
and went down repeatedly ; w hilt, on Ilse contrary,
Hudson seemed to he getting fresher, awl he often mu
and jumped to get in at Ilolt. The latter would not
" goy in," slid he was taken out 01 the ring by the
deNtre Or a Noble Lord, and other 81.1111ieCTI. It ()CCU.
pied an hour and three quarters.
A match for MI. between Sp►ing and Sutton is in
contemplation; the fight to take place in six weeks.. It
will be rather wane work its the dug days.

SINGULAR CAsr. or RnattertY.—A ynnne mu, very
genteelly dressed, Wei brought up, charged will *testing
48 pair of hones.
The prisoner, it appeared, went nn Nlnteibiy night, to
the house of Mrs.l' lett, in Portualqiirrin, Line()
liimfields, nod :sired a furnished lodging. Tuesday
morning, on arising, he said the apartment did not ri t
him, and lie must remove, at the b3lbe time requesting
Mrs. T • lett to procure I some amp. This she did,
but, on her return to the room, she discovered that tit..
prisoner had taken a new pair of boos from one corner,
and packed them up in his own bundle ; she taxed hint
with the theft, on which he was very impudent, and
desired her to send for an officer.

The prisoner, when called on for his defence, said, he
had been 13 years an officer in the navy, and his name
was Elouverie. He added, that he possessed consider.
tole nroperty in the funds.
The constable who took him into custody produced a
considerable stun of money, in gold and silver, and
broker's receipt for a large sum vested in the funds. lit
this receipt the name a a most respeetalde broker ap-
peared, anti the worthy Nlagistrate, anxious to learn II

Hintiverie, but that he had hied servant with a gentle-
Man of that name, whom he had robbed of his itocket-

Comtination among Journeymen.—Mr. Jones, iron-
founder, of lci•sv Gravel-lace, Southwark, appeared at
the Office, sod complained against several of Ins join.-
oilmen, who were brought up under a warrant for
having left their work unfinished, much to his detri-
ment. Mr. Jones also slated, that there was a general
disposition among, the journeymen to harass the mash is,
although there was at present work for Mem. The Ma-
gistrate suggested to Mr. Jones his suffering the uten to
morn to their work, in place of committing them to
pri, on. Mr. Jones agreed to the proposal, and the men
promised to comply with the decision, the warrant being
left op ,it.
A journeyman hatter, lately in the employ of Mr.
Tortiev, hatter, of St. °lave's, was brought to the Oilier,
charged with leaving his master without finishing his
work. The case being pruned, he was committed to

1110eriour occurrence in the Boron1.)1.—On Sa.
turday morning last Mrs. Kirby went to Mr. King,
one of the parish officers of Wolwich, (to which she
belonged), who gave her .25., and sent a letter to her
husband, requesting him to bring his family down
to the parr-house as soon as possible. Next morning
(Sunday) they left their lodgings in Bull-court. and
all, excein one of the children, a girl 9 years old,
started for the avowed purpose of proceeding direct
to Woolwich. However, about dusk the same
evening, the man returned home, without either the
woman or the children, and entered his lodgings as
if he wished to escape observation ; but near the
door he was met by Mr. Mooney, the landlord, who
asked what had become of his wife and the children.
Atter a pause he said, that he had stopped at a pub-
lic house on the road to have half a pint of porter,
and teat they had gone onwards towards Woolwich,
but as he could not afterwards come up with them,
he did rot think proper to follow them. Early on
Monday Kirby went into the country to seek tier
employment, but returned in the course of the day,
and in a conversation with a man in the house, ex-
pressed some fear of going to Woolwich, for he said,
they would certainly do something to him. On
Tuesday he cut his throat. After he had been con-
veyed to St. 1 homas's Hospital, Kinsey, the consta-
ble, went to Woolwich to see Mr. King, from whom
he learned that neither the woman nor the children
had arrived there ; and a person was immediately
despatched from Woolwich, to bring the remaining
child there to be taken care ot: Mrs. Kirby, at her
departure, is supposed to have had about is in her
possession, a sum too litt:e to take her and the chil-
dren any distance ; and nut the slightest truce of
her could be discovered up to • o'clock on Thursday.
Kirby is in the hospital, and hopes arc entertained
of his recovery. He is silent generally with regard
o his wife and hildren.

M EETING ON HoNsLET-moost.—Previous invita
Lions for that purpose having been circulated through
the manufacturing districts in Yorkshire, a most nu-
merous assemblage of unemployed workmen met on
Monday on Hunslet moor, near Leeds. A stage for
the speakers had been previously erected, and several
persons addressed the meeting. The great theme
dwelt upon was the necessity of rifriiatir.Altary re-
form. It was near ten '.'clock at night bethre the
asactubbrge dhpersed, after paving several resolo-
Lions as preliminary to a " I-Kelaration to be signed
by nll who are determined not to become pas...-itr
altars," and to be transteitted to the Speaker of the
House of Commons " for the information of all
whom it may concern." A resolution was pats;:d to
wet). again on the same meur on MAlay.

The weavers at Thankerton have published some
resolutions respecting their trade which appear to us
very sensible. They attribute the present deplora-
ble stagnation in a great measure to the facilities
afforded to every plunderer to enter the trade, and
the easy terms of apprentieeships. that h tie over-
stocked, and will ultimately ruin. the weaving bust.
ness, if not timely checked;" and they accordingly
propose to enter into joint measures to counteract
those evils. We should have given s place to the
resolutions had they come in time.
It is hinted that the Cabinet in Washiegton have
hopes that the Treaty will not be ratified by King
Ferdinand ; that, since its signature and ratlike-
tiun, a discovery has been made, that, during the
negotiation, the Spanish King had sold eight mil-
' lions of acres of the public lands of the. Ploridas,
which sale is gua.anteed by the treaty, being made
prior to Jan. ISIS. It has been tUrther hinted,
that, on the discover, of the above Eta, Don Onis,
the crafty negotiator, had been called upon by Mr.
Adams for an explanation of such conduct, and that
the Don had evaded all explanation by remarking,
that a bargain was a bargain ; that the treaty was
intended to cover all sales previous to the above
date, known or unknown ; and that the purchasers
of the land did not make hen a confidant of their
secrets. And thirdly, it is hinted, that the messen-
ger that has been sent to Spain, since the treaty-
bearer embarked, has despatches which relate to this
important discovery.
ANOTHER CHILD STOLEN. On Friday Mr.
Mortimer Taylor, of No. 24, Broad-street, St
Giles's, sent a little girl about 11 years of age, to
bring two of his children from school, :it the same
time she took in her arms a fine male infant, two
months old. On returning home she came through
Soho-square, and met a woman of decent appearance,
who for the last three weeks frequently accosted the
girl, and gave her and the children money. She
requested the girl to walk with her, and took her as
far as Rathbone-place, where she sent her into Mrs.
_Wright's, a grocer's shop, at the corner, for six penny-
wort h of figs, and told her she would take care of
the children till her return. The unsuspecting girl
acceded to her request, gave her the infant, and went
into the shop ; the woman gave the other children
half-pence to follow their nurse, which they did, and
on the girl's return she found the woman had gone
away with the infant This extraordinary case
remains wrapped in the same mystery as when the
child was first taken ; not the least clue has yet
presented itself where a discovery of the woman
can be made. Mr. Mortimer, the father of the
infant, has u-ed the most indefatigable exertions,
the Officers of St. Giles's parish have offered a
reward, and notice: has been given to all the Police
Officers without effect. It is feared that, from the
very tender age of the infant, every day wilt render
it more difficult to identify.
A shepherd residing in the neighbourhood of Vel.
letri, in Italy, was seized with a hydrophobia, in
consequence of being bitten by one of his goats.
The Italian journal which mentions this fact, adds,
that the goat had been in the same manner bitten
by a viper. We doubt whether the poison of ser-
pents can occasion this frig:etful malady. It is and
that the shepherd drank and ate in his uccustomed
manner during his illness a thing which never hap-
pens in cases of hydrophobia.
A shepherd in the South of Scotland, a few
weeks ago, in taking his usual rounds among,t !its
flock was tiollowed by one of his master', ;1-eyittninds ;
having accidentally started a hare, it was instantly
pursued by the greyhound, as well as his own silt rag
dog During the chace, his dog perceiving at some
distance a sheep laid wrong, to his no small rp Ise
left the pursuit, and having assisted the sheep then
its perilous situation, be instantly rejoiced the pur-
suit, and came in at the death of poor puss.
LIGHT BREAD.-It is shocking to think, during
these hard times when the lower orders of so.ictv
find so much difficulty in obtaining the common
necessaries of life, that daring best week no fewer
than nine convictions for selling bread short t.f
standard weight took place at the Public °thee,
Union-Hall.--Several of the quarter peck loaves
were as much as seven mulcts deficient Some of
the tislinquents were fined 10s. per ounce, and
none less than ss. The whole of the tleficieucy is
the above convictions amounted to 2.2.2 ounces.

A few days since, as Mr Cartew, of hi:agate, anti
some frie:.ds, were smoking their pipes in a room
exposed to the sun, their attention was drawn to
the tulle by some smoke proceeding from the green
cluth by which it was covered, and on examination
it proved to bz on tire: a decanter of water standing
on the table, acting as a lens, hail etmeentrated the
rays of the sun, and actually set the cloth in a blaze,
and there is little doubt it' th.ae had been no one
present, but that further mischief would have en-
sued. The party afterwards availed themselves ut'
this curious diA.oyery to 1101 their pipes!
