MERCY, BUT NOT MERCIFUL —A foreigner, who gave
the name of Charles Mercy, was brought before Mr Paget,
charged with striking a police-constable named Andrews,
No. 38 H, with a sling shot, and with kicking another
constable, No. 151. 11.

Last night the policeman Andrews was passing the Prus-
sian Flag beorhouse, in ltatchtf Highway, and a disturb-
ance and general fight was going on there. Andrews
attempted to quell the row, and while doing so received a
violent blow on the head with a sling-shot. The indenta-
tion on an old uniform hat was very great, and a round
piece nearly the size of a shilling was out out of the hat.
Andrews was partially stunned by the fall and disabled.
He could not tell who struck the blow, but
others gave evidence that the prisoner was the
person who struck the blow, and that before Andrews'
arrival he took a sling shot from his pocket and struck the
waiter at the Prussian Flag twice with it. He was soon
arrested, and the sling shot that he had used was found
on the ground. On the way to the station. house he caught
hold of the rails which surround the enclosure in Wel'close-
square and kicked him backwards. He was compelled to
let go the rails, and was dragged to the station-house. He
refused to walk there.

Mr Paget sentenced the prisoner to one month's im-
prisonment and hard labour for the assault on Andrews,
and one month's imprisonment and hard labour for the
assault on 151 11. The sentences to be consecutive.

THE FORTHCOMING PRIZE FIGHT.—The. fight
between Mace, a member of the English prize-ring,
and Coburn, a representative of the American pugilistic corps,
for £5OO a-side, is now on the eve of being adjusted, The
last deposit of £5O a-side was yesterday subscribed by the
backers of the men, and will to-day be handed over to the
final stakeholder. The fight is to come off next Tuesday
week, October 4, and the articles of agreement between
the men state that it is to take place in Ireland. The met,
who have been in training under the surveillance of profes-
sionals, have recently shifted their quarters, to prevent po•
lice interference prior to the day of fighting. Mace is to
hand over £lOO to Coburn towards his expenses in coming
to this country to tight. In betting, Coburn is the favourite.
The inhabitants of Cavaillon, a town in the Van-
cluse, celebrated for its melons, having formed the
project of founding a public library, wrote to M. Alexandre
Dumas to ask him to aid them by a present of a few of his
works. The popular novelist wrote back to say that he had
given instructions for 200 or 300 volumes of his works
which have already appeared as a reprint to be sent to
them, but that if they liked his books, he also was fond
of their melons, and that in exchange he desired to have
constituted to him regularly by municipal decree a life rent
of one dozen melons a year, the expense of carriage to re-
main at his charge.
