REMARKS.

Two men never entered the ring in finer con-
dition, nor did two ever acquit themselves better.—
Shelton had nearly a stone over his adversary, and
Cooper won the fight by science iu the last rounds,
with bravery to withstand his opponent's rush. The
rounds were short ; but, unlike modern fighting,
the men seemed to think as little of approaching
each other as if there were no rope.; as boundaries.
A second fight of no kind of interest took place'
and the amateurs departed home, some of them
highly pleased with the first.

SVDDEN DEATH.—On Thursday morning, Mr
Pensley, baker, of Lambeth-walk, returning from
serving his bri,ad, he fell down in his shop and
expired without a groan; he has left a with and
tinnily to mourn his loss; he was much respected.
His death was occasioned by drinking cold kwater
while in a heat.

On Monday morning a dreadful accident happened to
two men ulna winked at the dye-house of Sir F. De
Sanges, is NVheeler Street, Spitalfields. They were
employed in hanging up some clothes, and while stand-
ing on a bench it gave way, and they were precipitated
into a large copper of boiling suds, and WON they
could he taken out, were scalded in a shucking manner,
and carried to the Lcodon Hospital, where faint hopes
arc entertained of their recovery.
From a peach-tree in the garden of 11. P. T. Aubriti,
E4q. of Broome-hall, near Oswestry, iu Shropshire,
winch is but I I lett in height, and 13 feet broad, there
have been taken 1113 peaches, and there are yet re-
maining 571. This t 1 coirsidered by practical gardeners
as a most extraordinary produce, especially when it is
considered that the tree has in no way been protected by
covcriag or otherwise.
Administration of the Effects of John Webb Sey-
mour, commonly called Webb Lord John Seymour,
deceased. was last week granted to the Nlot:t Noble
Edward Adolphus, Duke of Somerset, the brother
and only next of kin, he having died intestate a
bachelor; personal property under 50,0001.
It is imagined that the arrangements for the Co.
ronation will not be completed by the Ist of August,
and there is a probability that it will be deliarai to
the 29th.

We are lu..ppy in being enabled to state, that
tvithin the last fortnight there has been a cursider-
abl• improvement in trade, as far as respects colonial
produce, in which there has been more business
doing than during any period within the last two or
three years. Cotice has advancLd about !Os. per
cwt.

The Dublin Regisler mentions the opening of the
Election tor that city on Saturday. Mr. Ciruttan
was proposed by %%. C. Plunkett, Esq. tool seconded
by Mr. Guinness. Mr. Plunkett declared, that if
unthrt %tinnily Mr. Ellis shunt,' prove successful, he
would ltiLita it to London and proposn a Bill, which
he had no doubt of earryiiig. for the exclusion of
Mr. &Lis Irwin his seat in Parliament, or his °thee.
o the business of that taco he said he was sworn
to attend—and tf therelore he were returned be
should either abandon his duty as a Senator, or
viteatte his oath as a Master in Chancery. Mr.
Ellis was prop.ised by the Mayor, and seconded by
Leland MilqUily. Esq.
The ..section ter Dublin goes on well, and Mr.
Grattan we firmly believe will triumph. Corrup-
tion feels this probable, and in the madness of
disappointment has broken the election law by the
employment of the horse-police, with drawn sabres,
to intimit'ate Mr. Gruttun's friends—all will not do,
however, we are convinced the City of Dublin will
never submit to the disgrace of allowing Mr. Ellice
to be the successor of the immortal Henry Grattan.
On Tuesday, Mr. Grattan was the leading midi.
date for that day !
