FUGILIS3I.—R. HALEY AND J. CROSS FOR 501.
ASlDE.—These veteran pugilistic professors met on
Tuesday, at Woking- common, in Surrey, to decide their_at°
difference of opinion as to tho better man, in the n
sense of the phrase. Maley is well known as the
ncon-
queror of Chute (1836), Cooper, Lynch, .m.n
Hannan (a foul blow), the Chelsea Doctor, Sam Merry-
wan, ertrb.%
man, and Cross whom , his present antagonist,
day met for the third time; their first encounter in 1842
ending in a draw, and their second, also in
ter-
minating in far ur Maley. Cross has also ,
l 8 4 2h, a
d achequered career, having appeared seven times within
the ropes, and won three occasions. The battlew
rather one-sided, Cross taking the lead early, and show-
ing off on Maley's head, which he did not seem very
otpable of guarding. Nevertheless he countered often
with his right hand, on receiving from Cross's left, but
so slowly as in many instances to produce but little
ffect. Finally, at the close of two hours, during which
52 rounds were fought, Maley's star declined, anti Cross
was proclaimed the vico-.
SHERIFFS' FUND SOClETY._esterlay afternoon
the annual meeting of the governors of this seciety.was
held at the London Coffeehouse ; Mr. Sheriff FIIIDIB in
the chair. The usual formal proceedings having been
gone through, the report was read by the Rev. Mr.
Davis, the secretary. Those cases of distress which
induced the sheriffs of 1809 to found this charity hod
prevailed to an unusual degree during the past year, at
every session of the Central Criminal Court, and of
course the operations of the society had been more ex-
tended. The different cases of distress were relieved
according to circumstances, Some discharged convicts
were furnished with tools to enable them to return to
their work. Others were furnished with the means of
reaching their friends in distant parts of the kingdom,
if their conduct justified a reasonable hope that they
would reform. Young women, led into trifling acts of
dishonesty by a love of finery, were either sent to
their friends or placed in situations as servants.
Some wtre sent at the expellee of the charity to
the Philanthropic Society ; and, finally, discharged pri-
soners, who hoped to redeem their characters in another
country, were helped to emigrate to Australia. In the
selection of deserving cases amongst the young women,
the committeee were much indeb•ed to the exertions of
the ladies' committee. The funds of the society during
the past year had not received any great increase. The
committee had received 2001 under the will of the late
Mr. Andrew M`Lzan, in addition to the 1004 received
formerly. The sum of 5004 had been set aside for the
erection of an " Elizabeth Fry refuge" for deserving
cases amongst discharged prisoners. The permanent
funds of the society were 8.1001. in the Three per Cents.,
1,0001. in the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 1,0004 la
the Reduced Consolidated Annuities, and 1001. per
annum under the will of the late Mrs. Stafford. The
committee noticed, with expressions of regret, the death
of Mr. Cooper, the lute honorary secretary. On the
motion of Alderman Sidney, M.P., seconded by Deputy
Bedford, the report was received and adopted, and, after
appointing Mr. Alderman Hooper treasurer, and Mr.
Alderman Sidney trustee, the meeting thanked the
chain/eau and separated.
A LUCKY FlND.—About a week ago the wife of
Thomas Reece, a collier, residing at North Wingfield,
was rummaging up some old pit clothes that bad been
laid aside for a number of years, in order to find a patch,
and in the course of her search she met with a pair of
old trowsers that had belonged to her husband's father,
when she found the watch pocket carefully stitched up,
and upon being cut open it contained a receipt for 551.,
which had been placed in Messrs. Wright and Co's bank,
at Nottingham, by David Reece, in the year 1839, and
who died in March, 1842. On Saturday last her husband
received the above sum for him, _ with 111. 15s. 2d. inte-
rest.—Derby Reporter.

A man remains of consequence—not so far as he
leaves something behind bim, but so far as he acts and
enjoys, aid rouses others to action and enjoyment.—•

[ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Ointment and
Pills, a never-failing Remedy for the Cure of Scurvy and
Scorbutic Humours.—Thomas Andrews of sutton-strett,
Newcastle, had been severely afflicted for years with scurvy and
scorbutic humours all over his body. He had been under the
treatment of several medical men, but to no purpose, and at
last he was pronounced incurable. The poor fellow then, as a
forlorn hope, commenced using Holloway's Pills and Ointment,
which so effectually eardicated the disease from his system that
in the course of six weeks he was enabled to resume his former
employment, and his skin is now as clear as that of an infant.—
