The knowing ones at Errin were compleb•ly taken in On
Thursday ; for the Duke of York's colt, by 11, arliey, who wets
the Derby Stake, is a eery poor figtere. and hots were 4 to 1
against him. Nectar and lYtilteis kept the lead until witk•rt
230 yards of the Winning post ; when the Duke of York's colt
shot by him like an snow from a bow, and eaase-in, in grand
style, two lengths before them.
Eaton, the celebrated pedestrian is hacked to a hugs
amount to perform the unprecedented task of walking eleVen
hundred miles in eleven hundred successive hums ; • )eonmence

ceiving any designed injury. Eaton commences the task on

of n mile.

A match at cricket was made, a few days agn, by a party of
Gentlemen, for tOO Lmineas, which Is to be played next week,
by it one-sinned pensioners belont:ing to Chelsea Hospital, and
an equal number of once legged veterans. The bets at present
are in favour of the arms.

BOXING.—J. Stephenson and 8. Robinson, Iwo blacks,
fought on Tuesday at Coombe Warren for 40 guineas. Thy
seconds were, Richmond and Harry lionner for Stephenson,
and Oliver and Shelton for Robinson. The number of rounds,
and the various evolutions in the fight, are too contemptible
to detail, Sofficei it, therefore, to state, that Stephenson bud
no cbance ; and though rounds were &fluid, he gave in
several times berme, though his seconds insisted upon his con-
tinuing the tight. The contest lasted an hour and 12 minutes.
Two other sagabond blacks afterwards fought; besidi !which
there were three other fights, Caleb Baldwin beat another
black fellow; and a Jew, of the name of Randall, heal one of
his own tribe. The other fight was between two novices, who
w, re on this occasion added to the already too numerous gang
of ntfiiaus. This meeting aas attended by most orate thieves
and pickpockets in London, who committed their depredations
upon the silly people who had tv.sonibled with impunity.
Solely such meetings should be sni.pi-ciised! the injury they
do to society is beyond estimate; ae place Bibles in the hands
of the lower eht,se4.--we establish National Schools tot the
(duration of their children-. and we endea %von to inculcate in
their minds the prioeiples of relicin, and all iu r. It. v, duties;
not pi. what purpose does all this lead, while oil se, i.es are
tolerated e
