PROVINCIALS.

A few es.tenings since, a sturdy villager betted a retailer of
oysters, in Bury, half a guinea, that he would eat the contents of
his basket (value Its. 6d.) although he had previously eaten 7s.
worth from another vender; • which he won with apparent
ease, leaving the oysterman a proof that he had brought lin
goods to a bad masket. The total number amounted to 555.

•Satarday se'nnight, about ten o'clock, a man and his wife,
labouring persons, of the name of Todhian, of Long Ditton,
Surrey, were returning from Kingston, where they had been at
market they had some words, when the woman ran and flung
herself into the Thames, and the husband, with intent to save
her immediately jumped into the stream : 'both were in danger
of being drowned, when a young`. man who had been in their
company, named Walingham, went to their assistance, at the
hazard of his own, and saved their lives. .
On Tuesday se'nnight, a bargeman, near the floodgate on the
River Lee,' at Bromley, discovered part of a human head above
the surface of the water. He instantly hastened in his skiff to
the spot, and exclaimed, " Here ts poor Mr. Flight!" The feet
and legs being deep in Mud it Was with difficulty he got the
body into the boat, and conveyed it 'to his disconsolate family ac
Stratford. Mr. Flight was an eminent miller and mealman of
that place ; and nearly a month ago he spent his evening at the
sign of the Harrow, which house he left late in the*night, intoxi-
cated, and is supposed to have fallen into the river.

.On the sth instant, Ann prowse, a pauper of the parish of
Burgan, in Cornwall, who bad for some time been confined in a
state of detangement, contrived to make her escapti from the
persons who had charge of her, and to set fire to two dwelling-
houses at Burgan, both of which were entirely consumed ; the
unfortunate woman then hung herself. She was found
handcuffed, and the chains by which she had been fastened were
on her person.

. Bon:sc.—Another Black, who promises to become as for-
midable as the renowned Midineur, exhibited at itinst a profes-
sor of the name of Cceey, at Shipton a few miles front
Oxford, on Monday lait, tor a stake of fifty guineas and a purse
of twenty. The Black, whose name is Mahone, is possessed of
strength equal to illotineitx, and he combated a man who had
won eleven successive battles. Seventeen sanguinary rounds were
fought, and although C.,ney was a six-feet _pugilist, of proper
'donate strength, the hardihood and bottom of the Black got h:m
the victory, after he had been hit about the head until every
feature as destroyed. He did not display that quickness
which practice will gift him with ; but he was Always lighting,
and-at the latter part of the contest he succeeded in hitting away
his adversary's science ; and be planted terrific hits, until coney
was taken oil the ground, more beat than is usual in un.derts
boxing. The winner is a musician,-born in England, of African
parents. • He is under the protection of a Country Esquire, of
the name of Stanton, and is equal to Horton, the pugilist.

lancholy event which took place yesterday nor wing, opposite to

of smuggled whiskey from the north to the south side of the
Ness, having taken advantage of a small boat usually pulled
across by means of a rope, t wo of them were unfortunately pre-
cipitated into the torrent, and were drowned, in consequence of
the rope, which they were in the act of puffin:, having unfortu-
nately given way.
ANLCDO re.—A Cheihire wags nor, who had got together a
little estate seems to have displayed as much magnanimity as
any hem; of antiquity. He found himself very ill, sent for a
clergyman and an attorney, who both came in ac the Sallie time,,
• and tound all his family 'seeping round his bed. The man of
law having prepared hi-; pen and ink, desired to know how he
would clause to leave his property ? The sick mail baring mus-
tered up sufaient strength for his last effcrt, spoke as follows •
—" The house, and all the sticks in it, to Mary, my wife, as
long as she live, and then divided among the rest on em ; the
waggons and horses to Tom ; the ploughs and cows to Dick,
