A PII.ENOMENON.—A little boy, named Jones, who was said
to be the son of a Captain of a slip that had ',teen lost immedi-
ately Wore the birth of the child, was carried into the :11ansion
House by an odicer of Midge Ward. The poor child was re-
toad:able for its deformities, and lor the wonderful tawnier iu
wilieli nature had supplied hint with the meaus of compensating
fur what she had denied hint. _ .

The officer stated, that in passing over London bridge on
Friday es ening, lie saw an iunnense crowd of people collected
round some (inject that secured to attract the utmost CtillObity,
it was with ditticulty lie reached that object, which struck hint
as a creature scatemy hutuan. The limns which were attached
to the sides in the place of arms, were two frightful crooked
bones, teraiinatiug OP the right side in one long linger, and on
the left iii another linger. At the lop of the left linger are two
joints and two nails, and with those joints he can thread a
ueedle, or help biotech* to any thing of the minutest kind, that
might fall upon the ground. But the most useful of all tile
min-created limbs of this pour object is the right Mot, which he

lie said, upon being asked hum lie happened to be without a
protector in London, that ue had lately tiavelled up to London
on an ass Ginn Liverpool, and that his brother had taken him
on hisiback and left him on tie bridge, where a crowd gathered
to Moe at him. His mother had, lie said been prepaid with
him when she beu'd of his father's death, mat tier fri.,ht had
caused her to be delivered of him, in the ►tate of deformity
in which he now was.
The brother of the poor boy, who was afterwards found ou
the bridge in a very auxious state looking for him, appeared at
the Mansion-hoitee, and stated, that they belonged to Liverpool;
that they were is a uestitute :AMC, but were tilepoled to nose.

Viobeer Awn A ram:toes AseeeeT.-1% illiam Whales,
coachman to Mr. Lavie, of Hampstead Heath, was brought to
this oflice on Friday, from st. Cilee's watch house, chareed
with a most outrageous assault upon Mrs. Crew, the wife of a
respectable painter and glazier, No. 31, Deau-sleet, Soho

Mrs. Crew stated, that about ten o'clock on Thursday night,
she wan returning home front visiting a !limit], and was accosted
in an indecent manner by the prisoner in liolhoru ; that she
thmired be might desist and leave her; upon which, he struck
her a violent blow in the mouth, mid cut her severely. Site
culled the wutcb, who came to her assistance, but they were
also attacked by the prisoner, who wrenched the stair from our
mud Milieu:it several wounds on some of them. lie was at
length secured and taken to the watch-house.
The eonstubles declared they had net et- met no desperele a
character ; and fully corroborated the etatewent of Mrs. Crew,
as to the sioletit blow inflicted on her.
The prisoner stated that Mrs. C. Mat addressed him, and
invited him to accotnpany her home, sod he only pushed her ors
one side to get rid of her importunities. The account afterwards
appeared, by the acknowletigiueut of his own fellow servant,
who was with Lim suite time, to be totally utifounded, and
tended to aggravate his offence in the minds elan who heard it,
as well as the magistratz, who said there was not the slightest
ground fur the assertion against Mts. C., who appeared a very
respectable middle-aged woman.
Mr. Lavie attended vied wished to have the alTair compro-
mised ; but Mr. Earl, vestry clerk of the pariah of St. Liles,
declared, that for the violent assault uu the wateliineo, the
the parish was determined to make an example of the prisoner;
and strouely ads ised Mrs. Crew to the saute course, as she
et-ew.:d Melined, Übe would confess the talsehood of his base
assertion, to overlook it. The accusation seemed much to hurt
her feelings. She, however, consented to act us the parish
officers might wish.
The prisoner was ordered to end substantial bail for three
separate assaults.

act of saving her youngest child, had her left elbow and
side of her lace lacer:l.:d by the glass of the door ; two
of the gentlemen, Messrs. Edg ir and 'ltiorotoo, to
trying to assist )Irs.Pahner, received sonic slight boosts.
Another stage coming up soon after this unfortuoate
accident, and luckily having only one inside passenger,
the wholeuf the sufkrers were put into Li, and conveyed
to town.

BOXING.

NotwithstandiPg the prejudices which had pre-
vailed as to boitig and crossing, the fight of Tues-
day last hyd no smell of wrong, and right people
knew it. Shelton and Hudson were turned out,
thorough bred. The talent of each had been ap-
proved of in the prize ring, and to our Sporting
Headers we can only add, that the day's proof, in a
anost tremendous battle, equalled, but not excelled,
11 the annals of boxing, realized all the expectations
of the fancy.
The fight took place where Joshua Hudson beat
what the Yurkshiremen cal ed Barlow (a pheno-
l:R.lton), about four miles eastward of St. Alban's,

%%itre the Commissary General had firmed a 2
tea ring, encompassed by thousands of personages
dii upon the rear•up. Hudson entered the ring first,
and waited there with his seconds at least twenty

ininutes before Shelton appeared, and three to one
wet-e. taken that he did not some to the scratch. He
Lo.vever did come in eaniest, with his second, Tom
Ctiub, assisted by Tom Belcher, and the law-suit
barred. Betting, guineas to sovereigns on Hudson.
THE BATTLE.

Coand 1. Shelton made a feint to employ Hudson's lel band
upon the parry ; bat Joshua's break convinced him that was
mu the right lock. Ile missed an over hit, and in closing bulb
went down without mischief.—Shelton under.

2. Josh proved himself the best giver at a run of look, and
Gwghl all over home, and drew the first clarified hue from
Shelton's nose ; lie did not seem to feel it, and both turned to
in as regular a bull-dog molly as far as power could administer
Ao titan or beast—heads sea►ilied, teeth loosened, and all the
.ptor,ilieatioas of men in actual combat followed. In the close
bosh went down, Shelton under, although more thsu a stoue
• hest iest.
3. A brilliant round In the fancy who delighted in slaughter-
wk. It was give mid take, without hogging or scheming to
s,et away- from industry. The men hit each other's beads into
even • Master's Chancery suit. They got to something of a
stand still, milli beilows to mend, courage undefined, wid a
Imow nothing of themselves. Shelton was floored by an
awkward lacer, which let loose the claret from different pores.
It woe • meaty stand up round, and both were bent uptin
ci:ief. Two to one on Josh.

4,5, and 6, was a repetition of the former rounds, with
mach egnsl, stedfast fieitiag, rather in farotir cf Hudson, but
with points like ,trick ;:n.l tic, and brill bleeding freely. In
toend Hudson placed an uniliaiitable bounder upon his
adiersary's hat handed listner, bruLo his ground, and iicd up
all he seemed to have in him, by a hit over his ad% Mal ".5 ey
lid. In closing both fell weak.

Here the light was interrupted by a row between Tom Owen
and Tom Belcher, about the men. They had a hit or two at
etch other, aud 'foul Owen proved liimseJ good at least fur a
:arling mate, at .t 1 as he said ke would upou u former occasion
put things upon chiouLeys.
7. A most gallant rou.td, in which Hudson hit his adversary
to a stadad-still, and made die claret fly in all direetinus nom
the scarifiad eyelid in the last rally. Bud' went down in a
Shelton under.-4 to 1 on Hudson.
6. Severe rally kg altLioately iu Ih.our of each : the manly
exobang.r.s left things upon nearly par. It was ilioaght by con-
Jisseurs that victory Wd$Ot01.1:11 in fa. our of Josh, with youth,
strolgth, breed, genie, and every rcquisite to form a boxer.—
Josh gave the fall in this rouod.
In the fith Sheited had an advantage, and placed hits, l(ft
and right, upon bin adversary drawback, and closed the
peepers of Josh.
The 14th round was a (pieta's...or Iludson. Time was eallod
but neither had an ear to it fur more than two minutes. Josh.
was mit a( to it altogether from a Mt an the side, and Shelton
was poun lakle not to Le elite to get up auain.
A meeting took place at St. Alban's alter the fight, and the
f ;ends o Hudson claim a draw as to bets, as neither had the
pr wer 'eft in them to nit t tina
It was altogether the hest Idght seen since Gully and Gregson,
cr Dtglterty and Silverthoin. There Mas no Laving. NV eta-
tu,, was art required, and the tuen were firm as British oak.

DEATH or THE GAS-MAN.—After the fight on
Tuesday, Hickman (the Gas-man) left the ground
with! a gentleman of the nitme of Roe, in a gig.
At the Swan, at NVhetstone, they stopped some time,
and after they bad left that place, the night be-
came extremely liiggy, so as to render the road very
difficult. It appears from the account of Mr. Leig's
waggoner, who was coining from town with the
w:t:zgoo, tlrat the gig in which they were had got
ua the wrong side of the rood, and from the thick-
ness of the tog, neither driver was conscious of the
a;'proach of a coinage until they were close to each
other. The gig. endeavouring to regrin the right
side of the road, rau up a bank, vhch overset it on
the near side, and throwing the parties under the
waggon the wheels went over their heads, and
crushed them to atoms. The whole aflitir was, the
work of a moment. As soon us the waggoner could
atop his horses, he picked up the men, but life was
gone. He then placed the bodies in his waggon,
arid proceeded to the Swan, at Whetstone, where on
his arrival he presented a terrific ul.pearance, his
ock being literally soaked with blood, front having
been oliliged to take the bodies in his aims in getting
them into the wanon.
A young woman residing in Stonehouse, Plymouth,
returning ltouse with her t.rother, who carried in his
WI an Indian barbed dart dipped in poison, entangled
it in Mr clothes, and in their tentleavour to extricate it,
un ortutiatelv grazed her hand so s!ightiy as hu: to b,
uuticed at the time-411.er a few hours had elapsed, the
Let. was discovered by the violent effects it prcduced;
strung applications were immediately resorted to, and
though it is some ti nc since the accident occurred, she
Las mut yet the use of her hand.
