author, " That public bodies had no conscience.",—
He t hen wade a mot ion to the following effect

Sir . W. the Presitii:iit, to coi.vtlie a Ueoe-

Mt. W A ITH MAN pledged himself to prove theex-
istence of the abuses he had mentioned, and added,
that he ttrik!rstood that gross 'anuses mu exi=ted in
the Charter-House, which he hoped to have, a 1114 tme
opp(otnly ot submitting to the Court.
Mr: S. DIX f) thought the Court could not pro-
ce,,d qpt.in anonymous statements contained in the
Nt•wspApers: hi: believed, however, it might be said
for Mr. Warren, that he had a large family of not
les, than eight or ten children. f o Nei er, he should
not objet to the motion, provided it were so worded
as to be fOunied on the assertions of a Member of
the Com t, and not upon Newspaper aspersions.
_ _

Mr. GI( IFFITFI% Said, that lie had taken pains to
make himit;ll master of all the circumstances men-
tioned by the worthy Mover, and he could vouch'
for them'most fully'. The fad-was, the, diiid was.
taken in to please the Member for Middlesex.

Mr. THORPE and Mr. JAQUES observed, that
when this. child was proposed there was a good deal
of opposition in the Committee, but as the presenta-
tior!- wqs wade 'with the.regtilar tofms, they did not
like to commit themselves by rejeCting-the presenta7
Con.

Mr. BELL conceived that the thanks of that Court
and of the Country were due to his Hon. Friend for
the manly way in which he had brought forward
• this subject. The Institution was expressly founded
for the overthrow of b..2ggary, :and was this Mr.
Warren exposed to beggmy •The right of ad-
mission was limited_ to the poor, and the Governors
had no right to introduce those whose circumstances
did not rtquire it.
Mr. QuiN; supported the motion, in a speech:of
great force,- aad, trusted that it would be carried in.
Its spirit, if not in the precise form in which it ap-
peared. The present motion shewed that it'becarne
us to 'look at home, where we had many abuses and
till-we had cleanied this-Augean stable, he was afraid
it would be in vain for us to call for Inquiry abroad.
The c nnexion between this Court and the Goer-
hors of the Hospital was evident: we had Metnber,s
ot this Court also Members of the Committe(.., -ex
officio, and to them this Court could. make applica,
tion. He would, however, suggest the fropriety of
founding the motion rather on the assertions of a
Member of that Court than on the statement.; con=
tained in the Newspapers. He therefore proposed
an alteration iu the motion to that et feet.

WAITHMAN acceded to this, . and replied to a
variety of observations. that had been made in the
course of the debate. He declared he had no quar-
rel the Vicar of, Edmonton,• but, on the con-
trary, had been on friendly terms .with him before
he heard of'his having procured this admission ;,.and
he declared that he never felt more astonished in his
life than when he hear.: that a Clergyman worth
12001. a year, and a man as young as himself, had
prorvred a presentation for his son into. a Charity
destined only for the relief -of those who were with-

out support. -
" inquire into other abuses,' ~ver; also
objected to by st:veral Members, as no oilier abuses
had been mentioned -but thoie stated by Mr. Waith-
man ; and, after soar.: further conversation, the
r110`210:11 was worde,; thus

That statements ot an abuse in the presentation and ad-
mission of boys' into Christ's Hospital having been etude by
a Member of this Court, they therefore recommend to such
Members ot the Court as are Governors ex opcio, to request
Sir J. ,W. Anderson, the tresident, to convene a General
Court or Directors, for the purpose of itistittizing
into the saine,‘ and to remedy and prevent it tor the future."

The [notion thus altercid was unanimously agreed
to, and the Court adjourned.

BOXING.—A pugiii,tic contest was to have taken

place yesterday;btqween Blake, a professor of con-

siderable celebrity, who -once sturdily.opposed Crib
in a matched combat, and a novice of superior
strength. Three o'clock was the.appointed time for
the combatants to meet, at the Artichoke, in Vary-
le-bone fields;- but Blake alone wa4 present, and be
received forfeit. A vast concourse of people had
assetnioled to witnchS the exhibition, and a match
was made, to compensate for disappointment,

between Coombs, a boxer of toe second rate, who
. _

beat the Bath butcher a twelvemonth ago, on Wills-
. don-green, and -a supposed novice, superior in length
and strength. He stripped and set-to, and Coombs
fought but three rou:ids, when he found his adver-
sary to possess superior skill to himself, and As he
had no interest
.in fighting, lie declared off.. The
supposed novice, who was not known to three per-
sons amongst the , multitude, turned out to be a
-teacher of boxing. After .some general fights, which
lasted till dark, the, tnul!itude dispersed,
