BOXING.

A trementlous battle was fought on Wednesday
morning in Kilburn Fields, between J. Edwards,
the Iltti•tingion drover; and Matt. Crisp, a navi-
gator. It w.ls made up on the pfeeoling. night at a
public-house in tile Edgeware-road, for !?01. its Well
as love, and it was a match unknown even to the
fancy. Crisp wits seconded by his brother, and G.
Hooper officiated for Eiwards.
Five rounds were fouLdit in an hour and a half, and it was all
slaughtering rail/i,4r. 'he first room' lasted 12 minutes, and
both men were hit to pieces, to use the slang diction. At the
close, Crisp was thrown, and the ring raembh.sl a crimson hue
in the real War.!rloo style.
...In the second round both were piping nt a distance, when Crisp
made play and flattened tile bridge of his adversary's nose, but
the ilmver shook his head, and went very sulky to work, and
like the first round, the Aire and take was the time of day.—
After a manly hint Crispin was floored by a lie-up in the wind.
In the third round, both were hit blind, and there were at
least twenty exch.tn:4-e blown. The men fought until they rolled
against each other, and fell as helpless as babes.
The thurth round b...et Crisp by his adversary cracking his rib;
but he fought the round out without apparently knowing what
had happened, and he had the best of it, and hit hisadversary
down by a mood blow on the throat.
In the litlh round Crisp was brought to the scratch doubled up,
and his action ;one, when Edwards hit hint down, and won the
fight, which was a very gallant one.

A fire broke out on Thursday morning at Allthorp,
Northamptonshire : it was extinguished after the
destruction of one of the offices (we believe the
laundry) where it originated. Owing to a plentiful
supply of water, and the engines belonging to the
house b:•ing in excellent order, and well served, the
flames, which raged furiously, did not extend beyond
the premises just noticed, Thus, probably, the most
magnificent private library in Europe has been saved.

Tuesday was the last Seal Day of Term in the
Court of Chancery. The Lord Chancellor entered
the Court .!.. hail-past tea o'clock, soon after which
he addre.:stal the Bar in the following terms :—" If
I should meet you oler flee Hollidays, I will not
take motions two days together, but take them and
appeals upon alternate days." Tws hypothetic no.
tire would scent to convey a doubt in his Lordship's
mind respecting his cahtinuanee in office, and made
an impression to that etle.:t on many of his auditors.
This is not, however, the lirst time his Lordship has
used words of like doubtful import. We remember
several instances, on which expressions have fallen,
front hint that were construed at the time into a
notice to quit, but his Lordship remained, notwith-
standing, in the undisturbed possession of his high
office.

. Houscs or Pattelataxser.—Since the prorogation
of Parliament the galleries erected in the House of
Lords fur the temporary accommodation of the Peers
during the proceedings on the Bill of Pains and
Penalties against her Majesty, have been removed,
and workmen are now actively engaged in reducing
the edifice to its former state. Some alterations are
also in contemplation as to the situation of the
King's Throne. This pingnificent piece of wurl.-
nrauship is to be taken dawn, and is, we under sheet,
to be re-erected close to the wall, inszead of being,
as hitherm, a short distance from it. The steps
approaching the King's chair are to be raised. The
advantage to be gained by these arrangements is the
extension of the space hitherto appropriated to the
Members of the House of Commons during the
proceedings of the Peers, which, on important occa-
sions, has been found infinitely too much confined,
the liou.:e of Commons, too, the backs of the
benches have been raised about eight inches, by
means of au iron rail, which is covered with green
cloth : the principal alterations in progress, however,
arc in the committee rooms, of which several new
ones are to be created. This desirable end is to be
attained by taking possession of the large building
lately occupied by Mr. Leigh, who has succeeded the
late Mr. Ilatsell as principal clerk of' the House of
Commons, to whose residence he has removed. This
building fonts Weetninster Abbey, and possesses
many commodious rooms intrtwhich convenient pas-
sages arc opening. Connected with these alterations
arc the preparations for erecting the new Courts of
Chancery and King's Bench. The old Courts were
Owe down preparatory to the coronation feast in
Westminster Hall, and have not since been restored.
These Courts, it will be recollected, occupied the
west end of the hail, the extent and beauty of which
was thereby greatly diminished; added to which,
the Court of King's Bench, at least, was firund very
inconvenient for the diepatch of public business, and
for the accommodation of suitors. To afford room
these improvements, some of the old committee
rooms of the House of Commons, as well as part of
Mr. Leigh's house, the old Treasury Chamber, and
some other antiquated buildings, will be removed. ;
The alterations sill be made with a due regard to
economy, but, at the same time, in a substantial and
convenient manner—and, it is anticipated, will be
completed by Michachnas next. —The eastern end of
Westminster Hall, which has been su long under
repair, is nearly completed : the architectural orna-
ments have been restored, with the strictest regard
to the gothic original, and the whole structure will
undergo a complete repair.
