The battle between Peters, the Bath tinman, and
Flowers, the coachman, from Dunsdan, Oxon, kept
the Rosinantes and their masters in full exercise on
Thursday, for want of generalship to avoid inter-
ference. The match for 40 gnineas a side was to
have taken place very snug, between Oakingham
and Maidenhead, on Thursday, agreeable to the de-
sire of the backers. Capt. Hans for the coachman,
and Mr. Meadows Fuller, for the tinman. Souks
authority men gave their negative to the spurt on
the ground fixed upon ; and after a consultation of
provincial sages, the men met in a field across Wind-
sor Forest, at Apsley, Surrey, ten miles from the
said authorities, where an obstinate battle was fought,
in an open ring. H. Ford seconded Flowers, and
Wheeler officiated for Peters. Both men had fame
for various successful combats, and the tinman was
rather the favourite.

The battle lasted 44 minutes, in which ten very gay rounds
was fought. to the li, t the dal et flew from the bends of
each; and in closing, tan awkward attempt was made to
weave, hut they could not get ;Inv hest of it, and the tinanan
was thrown from !wing the lightest.
2. 'loth fell their musrl:•s at wink, and they turned to
with much earnestness. Flowers got at heavy ratifier on the
jaw at going in, but there wits no denial about him. lac
kept steady nt his vim k, although Pet, rs shewed best science.
Flowers's red hair stood an end like that of a pig in a pn•-
sion, and a sarcastic grin, while the claret Clewing from his
dermater‘, are,, Meal a melancholy spectacle. Ile, how -
ever, floored Peters by a heavy tie up ton the loins, whiciv
heat hi v.

3 and 4. These rounds were give ant tlike to the very end
of nature. Peters Cllll6lllled In illVe Pile h t of the first of
the rounds 9 but Fd.wers had his tarn in strength, suit he
finished Ike a workman. Peters was under in two falls, and
both were 171.14:1ied out of time.
The filth and ti:lt rounds prodneed but little mischief, as
both were waiting to get their wind inentluil. They how.
ever airmailed again in the Ith round, and an brave men
ever stood inure to duty. A chance hit glared Peters's
head urn his right shoolderoind a pistol could not have
dropped bias inure really. It won Flow era the battle,
although the Homan foni4lit the other three rounds wilder
every disadvantage. Ilia seconds yielded victory to Fhwers
very reluctantly. A purse of something under 51. was col.
lected fur the loser.

The removal of the dilapidated Gothic work,
projecting in front of the eastern entrance of West-
minster Hall, has thrown open to public inspection
three arches, which originally formed three en-
trances to the Hall. The centre arch is higher
than the others. This proves that the Gothic pro-
jection, so long considered the remains of that ancient
building, was nothing more than ornamental work,
carried out long after the Hall was built.
The structure to be raised in Hyde Park, near
Piccadilly, is what is called the Ladies' Monument,
in litmour of the battle of Waterloo. It consists of
an immense coloss.tl figure cast in bronze, 20 feet
high, in imitation of the celebrated statue on the
Monte Cavallo, at Rome. The pedestal is already
fixed, and the whole is intent:Ceti to be completed in
about two months.

Having failed to establish himself as an Inca
in Granada, Sir Gregor Maegreg,:r has started a
new scheme, and has put forth a flaming procla-
mation, in which he states that the King of the
Mosquitto nation has bestowed upon him and his
heirs the territory of Poyais, adjoining to the pro-
vinces of Honduras and Nicaragua, of which he
styles himself " Highness the Cacique," and forms
a plan for its settlement and cultivation, " intend.
ing there to spend the remainder of his days. !! "
The President of the Board of Trade, Mr. Ro.
binson, in bringing forward his plan in the House
of Commons for removing the commercial restric-
tions to which our West India Colonies have been
subject, closed his speech with the following en-
lightened sentiments.—" But no man could doubt
that the removal of barriers and the breaking of
fetters would contribute to the ultimate advance-
ment of commerce. Indeed the energies of com-
merce would only develope themselves under an un-
restrained system. The remark of the poet as to
the influence of climate upon the soul of men was
perfectly true when applied to the power of free
and unrestrained measures upon commercial inter-
course. They never could do wrong in gradually
endeavouring to remove from commerce the fetters
by which she kid been too narrowly restrained.
These had been his earliest and most recent opini-
ons, and he had always wished to promote a free
and unrestrained system of commerce."

In a letter tram Brunswick, in the Allgemeine
Zeitax,r, it is said—" A strong and at the same time
interesting testimony to the confidence of foreigners
in the honesty and kindness of the Gorman charac-
ter, was lately afilmled here. A deaf and dumb
Englishman came here as a solitary wanderer, with
no guide but his dog, without understanding Gor-
man, and with no other means of existing than hi-
trade of a printer. He did not meet with the slight.
est unpleasant occurrence ali the way from Hain-
burgh hither, and he contrived to make himself
cagily understood by signs in the printing-office of
M. Viewer*, to whom he sold his invention of spread-
ing the ilk with rollers instead of halls."

A PRINCE, the Original Proprietor, has so int-
E . proved the RUSSIA OIL, that it will be pleasant, and
will keep in all climates. Through the discovery of an extra
valuable ingredient, and which has been proved, will be sore to
assist in preserving, and promoting the hair, will make it grow
thick and long, prevent it falling of or ever turning grey, and
will be sure to assist in restoring it to bald places, if the least
signs of roots are remaining. And as the Proprietor is now
resolved not to prepare his Russia Oil without that valuable in-
gredient, although very expensive ; therefore tire Proprietor
cannot possibly sell the ounce bottle for less than ss. and the
large bottle, which contains five ounces, for one sovereign, which
is a saving. And as sonic think the Russia Oil dear, the reason
is easily ascertained; for instant:eon ounce bottle of Oil of Roses
is only nbout Ss. ; and an ounce bottle of the best and genuine
Otto of Ruses is five guineas. The reason is, because the one is
far more preferable to the other, So it is with PRINCE'S
Ru.sia Oil, which is far preferable to any other article for the
Hair.
Proved by affidavit, the Roth of November 1814, before the
Lord Mayor, that A. Prince is the Original Proprietor in the
Universe of the Russia Oil; therefore if any Perfumer, Medicine
Vender, !lair Dresser, or any one else, sells Russia Oil, that is
not Prince's, they are impostors, as they sell counterfeits to their
customers.•
Ask for I'rince's Russia Oil, and obser;e " Prince" on :the
wrapper and seals of each bottle: without, it is not genuine, and
cannot answer the purpose.
There has been of late Counterfeit Russia Oil sold in almost
every street; and Impostors have made the covers of the Coun•
terreit Russia Oil so much like the Genuine, and even imitated
the original Proprietor's name; therefore purchasers should be cau-
tious, and have it of the Proprietor, or of a respectable Perfumer
or Medicine Vender, As several Ladies and Gentlemen in the
country have complained that they have been taken in by unprin-
cipled persons selling them counterfeit. therefore, by enclosing
the money inn letter for the Russia (Bloke. directed to Mr.
Prince, No. 9, Poland-street, Oxford-street, London. Mr. P. will
send them by: return of coach to any part of the kingdom.
Even Medical Gentlemen have published in the Gazette of
health, that Prince's Russia Oil is superior to any Oil for the
hair; will restore it on bald places, and strengthen weak hair
sooner than any other preparation. Also Mr. Marshall, the first
Court Hair dresser, of Wytrnnre Street; Mr. Damon, Hair
Dresser, &c. to the Royal Family, Weymouth; Mr. Adams,
Boar Lane, Leeds; and hundreds of other principal Hair Dres•
seri, have declared that they recommend Prince's Russia Oil
before any other, isa from experience they have found it to be the
best for preserving and promoting the hair, clearing the scurf,
and keeping the Mud and hair clean; although there are other
Articles for the flair daily puffed in the Newspapers. Rut there
are thousands of Ladies and Gentlemen have a good head of Hair
by using PRINCE'S celebrated RUSSIA OIL. But sonic
Ladies being persuaded to use other Oils, they soon found the
difference, as their !lair began to fall off. or get grey.
Ladies will find Prince's Russia Oil preferable to any other Oil
for dressing their own, or false hair, as it gives a natural gloss,
softens, and curls it. Gentlemen wearing powder ought to use it
instead of pomatum ; it promotes eybrows, whiskers, &c.
Sold Wholesale, Retail, and for Exportation, by the sole Pro-
prietor, A. Pat sr cn, removed to No. 9, Poland-street, °mord-
street, near the Pantheon; and by Mr. Smyth, Perfumer to his
Majesty, New Bond-street; and by most principal Perfutuers
and Medicine Venders.
