BOXING,

Thursday last being appointed for the battle be-
tween Acton and Kendrick, the black, it was a day
of much bustle in the pugilistic fancy, as two other
battles were also nominated for the day's play
Acton had once been beat by the black, and both
were considered as men high on the list. There
was a rare set out on the road of every description
of vehicle that could be placed upon wheels, moved
on by prads of every sort and size, from the highest
mottled blood and bone to the roarers, that a
knacker would scarcely stand half a beats each for.
Arlington Corner public-house, on Hounslow-heath,
was the receptable for commoners, but the Magpies
was head-quarters for the swells, and in Ten Acre
Field, down a lane contiguous, the ring was made.
All was between hope and surpense until between
one and two o'clock, when an enemy, one Trimmer,
shewed himself from ambush, garbed with civil au-
thority, and removed the threes by word of corn.
wand, with only their blessings left behind. The
next start was fur Moulsey, and many turned sulky
and abandoned the chase, trimming the meddler of
their spurts in blue ruin and keav,y met. The ring
was made at Moulsey, and soon after three o'clock
the men entered, and the disparagement in size %ad's
full 201bs. in fivour of the black. The seconiL,

placed more hits in return for Acton's, which were snort.
Acton was Booted heavily by a left-banded blow, and the

of all.

mischievous play in this sound, and had an uniangl.t

Died, on Sunday last, at his house in Stratton-
street, Thomas Coutts, Esq.—Mr. Coutts had at.
tained the advancca age of 87.—His life was one .
of great and useful exertion. Ile possessed a sin-
gularly clear judgment. with a warm and alike-
tionate heart. Few men ever enjoyed, in the
degree which Mr. Coutts did, the confidence
esteem of his friends, or obtained, unaided by rank
or political power, so much consideration and in-
fluence in society. The large tbrtune which tie
acquired was a conseqUence, and not the object ,•t
his active life, which at every period was devoted
to the aid aid and advancement of those he loved.—
He died surrounded with friends, in the presence of
Mrs. Coutts and his daughters, tl:c Countegs f
Guilford and Lady Burdett, with their
and Lord Dudley Stuart, the son of his second
daughter the Marchioness of Bute, who is now in
Italy on account of health.

Imperial Parliament eontltatedi from paer 67. -
he should on an early day move for a committee to Invest i
gate the present mode of keeping the public recounts ; and
that the subject now mentioned would be particularly re-
ft rred to such committee.
After some remarks from Mr. Tierney and the Marquis
of Londonderry, as to the proposed application of the sur-
plus ret entre, in aid of the sinking fund, the papers were
ordered.
reLy.—On the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE-
QUER'S motion, that the House go into a committee of
supply on the remaining navy estimates, &c.
Mr. HUME opposed the inotiln, t hat the Speaker do leave
the chair till further information was given respecting the
application of sums hrretotnre granted to the ordnance, as
well as the navy. Ile concluded with moving for further
papers.
Mr. CROKER hoped that there would he no objection to
go into the committee. Every explanation should then be
given that was possessed; and if that were not satisfactory,
the accounts could he demanded.

Sir LCOFFIN repeated what he had before said seve-
ral times, that if this system of petty warfare against the
naval expenditure were to be continued—if the estab-
lishments were to be cut down as the hon. member (Mr.
Mune) had desired, it would be better at once to blow
tip our navy.—(A langli.)
Mr. R. WARD also trusted, that there would be no
objection to go into a committee—there was no disposi-
tion to withhold all proper information.
After some further remarks the amendment was nege-
lived, and the House then went into the committee of
sup irty,
Sit J. OSBORNE moved that there be granted 57,0001.
fur the board 01 admiralty.
Sir M. W. RIDLEY opposed it, and proposed as an
amendment, that the sum be 55,0001. deducting 2,0001. a
year for tao lords of the admiralty.
A division took place 011 the amendment. 'The numbers
were—Fur the amendment, 182—Against it, 128—Ma-
jority, 31.
The result was received with immense cheering by the
opposition.
On the motion for granting 31,3001. for the current
expences of the navy pay-office for the present year.
Mr. HUME objected to the grant of this sum as exces-
sive, and proposed as an amendment, that the sum should
be 23,0001. The lion. member contended, that redaction
to the amonnt of 8,0001. might he made in the office of
the treasurer of the navy and those under hint. The
office of treasury of the navy might, he contended, be
done by a common banker.
Mr. ROBINSON defended the original grant, and con-
tended that the office of treasurer of the navy was a most
responsible one, and the duties attached to it were of a
most important nature. There bad already been a redac-
tion of upwards of 7.0001. in this department upon the
vote of last year. The reduction had been made at the
expense of the comforts of many worthy and excellent
individuals, who hail long been faithltil servants of the
public, and he could not believe the gentlemen of Eng-
land would acknowledge themselves so distressed that
they would not pay these persons for their services, or
that the people desired not to give diem their just reward.
He contended, that die salary of 3,!001. a year for the
treasurer of the navy was not sufficient to compensate
him for the sesponsibility imposed on him. However, it
the House was determined to make this reduction, he
(Mr. R.) would rather the House should at once take
away his salary, than impose on I the necessity of fur-
ther distressing the unfortunate individuals who held sub-
ordinate offices under
Mr. ELLICE did not consider the salary paid to the
right hon. gent. too great, but lie thought that reduction
should be made in other quarters.
Mr. BENN ETT suppoi ted die reduction.
Lord LONDONDERRY defended the original grant,
and called on the house to suspend their opinion till they
were in possession of his right lam. friend's plan, by
sable!' a great saving would be Made to the public. In
his, the noble Lord's office, the expence of which was
21,0001. the reduction would be 7,0001.
Lord ALTHORPE thought the house should proceed
no further till in possession of that plan, and therelore
moved, that the chin' man should report progress, and ask
leave to sit again.
On this the gallery was cleared for a division.
During the time that strangers were excluded, five
divisions took place as follow :
First division—For delay, ;a—Against it, 101.
Second division—To reduce the vote to 23,5001.—For
it, 28—A gain- t it, 81.1.
'lltird division—To adjourn—For it,23—Against it,ol.
. .

Fourth division—To reduce to 23,0001.—Fur if, 21-
Against it, 9/.
Fifth division—To agree to the vote of 31,2011.—F0r it
91—Against
The co 11111 l ittee then adjourned.
The house then resumed, and tire report was ordered to
be received on Monday.
The other orders of the day were disposed of, and the
house adjourned at half punt one o'clock.
