PUGILISM.
HAZELTINE AND Benilam Fon 50/. A SlDE.—These
members of the corps puyilistique met yesterday on
Woking•common, in the county of Surrey, to settle their
fistic superiority. The men have combatted previously,
when the Westminster lad, Barnash, was the victor.
On the present occasion the athletse) were seconded thus
—Hazeltine by Keene and Joe Rowe; Barnash by Hayes
and M'Donald. The battle, which lasted one hour and
fifty minutes, was of the tamest description; the only
points being made by Hazeltine, who, from the weakness
of Barnash, wade his right tell repeatedly on his oppo-
nent's left ear, Barnash's slight flapping hits on the nasal
organ being poor and without influence on the result.
After 30 rounds, of frequent pauses, and tedious cha-
racter, Hazeltine was proclaimed the conqueror; some
of Barnash's warmest adherents having for some time
determined to resign the struggle on his part. In fact,
the sponge was thrown up six rounds before the conclu-
sion, and it was only upon the determined opposition of
Barnash himself that the contest was continued. The
punishment, which was not great on either side, was
pretty evenly balanced.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
WOOLWICH, MAY B.—The Basilisk steam-vessel has
had her departure from Woolwich deferred until to-
morrow, when she will leave for Greenhithe, and after
her compasses have been adjusted will proceed to De-
vonpon with the Niger, the trial of the comparative
merits of the vessels being ordered to take place in the
English Channel.

The Niger steam-vessel is, according to present ar-
rangements, to leave Woolwich on Thursday for Green-
hithe, and Mr. Humphries, chief engineer at Woolwich
dockyard, and Mr. F. P. Smith, of the Screw Propeller
department at the Admiralty, will proceed in her, and
Mr. Dinnen, one of the inspectors of steam machinery
afloat.

The North Star, fitting for a voyage to the North
Polar regions, is under orders to leave Woolwich on
Saturday next, to have her compasses adjusted by Capt.
Johnson, and will leave Greenhithe on the 15th instant,
on her enterprising expedition to relieve the officers and
crews of the vessels already in the Arctic regions.
The Stromboli steam- vessel, commander Lord Amelius
Beauclerk, is expected to remain at Sheerness until the
North Star is ready at Greenhithe, and will then tow her
to the edge of the ice.
Mr. Warren, quarter-master of the Unite Convict
Hospital ship, fell overboard between nine and ten
o'clock P.M. yesterday, from a boat in which be intended
to come on shore. The weather was very rough at the
time and the tide running fast, which occasioned his
being thrown overboard by coming in contact with the
mooring chains of the vessel. His body has not been
found.

ON THE CALUMNIATORS OF THE POLES
The serf who is in bondage born
Excites our pity more than scorn,
For, nurs'd in brutal ignorance,
He ne'er of freedom had a glance,
And kept in awe, by knouts and rods,
He views his master's will as God's.
But Englishmen so vile there are
As to enlist with Russia's Czar,
And, in his blood• stained livery,
The cause of liberty decry!
These venal scribes have sold their souls
To vilify the gallant Poles,
Whom they would falsely represent
As stirrers up of discontent,
And leaders in all civil war
In every country where they are.
Who thinks this true
Should well review
Their conduct when tge Chartists' rose:
And if Bern fights
For Magyars' rights,
It is with Poland's ancient foes.
Perchance, howe'er, ifs lying race
Cannot devise a trade4ess base,
By which they might prdeure their bread;
But what in favour can be said
Of noble * * * * sand people high,
Who friendless exiles can belie,
And slander foul insinuate,
To gratify their factious hate?
These, in their bigotry, confound
Men by no tie of virtue bound,—
And who all holy writ pervert.
With those that hut their rights assert.
Thus • *"*V* * *,and E********
Would class Dembinsky with Proudhon,
And that great chief, and his brave band,
Transport to some far distant land.
But though th, it blood
Stains Danube's flood,
'Tis not for pay or plunder shed ;—.
They would strike down
Proud Austria's Crown,
In hopes to raise their own instead.

THE TV_ESTATINSTER REVIEW. -2Va-
The celebrated quarterly originally stamped with
the effigy of I3entbarn, in the same way that Black-
wood is adorned with the features of Buchanan,
performed the first great cycle in its career. "Thor
yestmznster Review, the quarterly organ of social
improvement,political reform, religious tolerance, and
modern philosophy, teas numbered a hundred. It hair
grown from a stripling periodical into a publication
venerable for its age, its intelligence, and its prin-
ciples. We greet it as an old and familiar favourite,
a favourite whose importance has in some measure
been enhanced by its incorporation, a year or so back,
with the Foreign Quarterly. As a champion of the
new science of political economy—the science created
by Adam Smith, advanced by huskisson, and ripened
by Macgregor—we always greet our contemporary
with sympathetic cordiality. As a strennous upholder
of the sacred cause of democracy, we regard it with
kindred sentiments. It is consequently with pi culler
gratification that we have perused the very able and.
elaborated vindication of the French Revolution of
February from the insinuations and imputations of
its assailants. Since the very commencement of the
reactionary movement, which followed laud upon the
bloody days of June, it has been a labour of love
with us at intervals to write in our leading
columns arguments with precisely the saine tendency
as those which are comprised in this clever' and ear•
nest contribution. One by one we have exp ased the
frivolity of the aspersions thrown upon the illustrious
Republicans who have striven to elevate the character
of the French Government, and to improve the pros.
pects of the French multitude. Speaking of the
charge that has been so repeatedly levelled at
the Provisional Ministers, the Westminster Reviewn
admirably remarks that the droit au travail is nothing
more nor less than the peor•law of Elizabeth. Of
the impudent lies which have been uttered against
the heroicesmen who saved France, Europe, the
world, from awful catastrophe of bloodshed in Feb-
ruary, be speaks in the following manner in reference
especially to two very remarkable men MM. de
Lamartine and Ledru Rollin :
"It' the verdict of history were gathered from the as.
sertions of cotemporaries, what contempt would it in-
spire for the judgment of posterity on eminent characters,
when we find that these men have been charged in-
dividually with embezzling money from the treasury;
that even M. Lamartine has thought it necessary to lay
before the public the details of his private fortune and
pecuniary transactions, in order to extinguish the
slander beyond possibility of revival! Not without
cause ; for though malignity itself' is not shameless
enough any longer to repeat the charge against him
personally, his exculpation has not liberated his col-
leagues ; and there have appeared within these few
weeks, in more than one English newspaper, articles in
which the financial administration of the Provisional
Government has been spoken of as one mass of profligate
malversation. There is nothing which the spirit that
pursues these men would not dare to assert, when it can
venture on this. One member of the Provisional Go-
vernment has been made a mark for greater inveteracy
of assault than the rest—M. Ledru Rollin. Everbody
has heard scandalous stories concerning him; and in his
case, some of these were specific, and accompanied with
names and circumstances. If those which did not enter
into particulars had no better foundation than those
which did, M. Ledru Rollin, as to pecuniary integrity, is
the statesman of most unimpeachable character in
Europe; for every accusation of the kind that we are
acquainted with, which had Any tangible character, was
investigated by the Commission d'Etiqu4!e, and disproved
by the evidence of the persons alleged to have been con-
, nected with it. In England, his assailants, and those of
his colleagues, seized the opportunity of the appearance
of a mass of evidence which they knew nobody would
read, to affirm (it must in charity be supposed, without
having read it themselves) that it substantiated all the
floating rumours of misconducr, and covered the members
of the Government with indelible disgrace. In France,
it was felt even by their enemirs to have entirely failed of
eliciting the disclosures which had been expected from it.
M. Ledru Rollin instantly rose many degrees in public
estimation, and has occupied, since those documents ap-
peared. a position of greater political importance than
before."
Alluding to the crime imputed to AL de Lamartine
of having countenanced the system of foreign pro-
pagandism in his renowned manifesto, it is correctly
observed, that that eminent man only claimed for his
country " the right, according to its own discretion
and judgment, to assist any nation which might
be struggling to free itself from the yoke of foreign
conquerors." As we have already intimated in our
previous notice of ia contemporary, there is a review
of " Mary Barton," the tale of life in Manchester.
From the essay on " English Spelling Reform," we
extract the subjoined most amusing and laughable
illustration of the difficulties presented by our mother
tongue to foreigners :
" The New York Hume Journal gives the following
dialogue between a Frenchman studying English and
his tutor:—

" Frenchman—Ha, my good friend, I have met with
one difficulty—one very strange word. How you call
h-o-u-g-h? Tutor—Huff. Fr.—Tres Lien, huO ; and
snuff you spell s-n-o.u.g-h, ha! Tutor—O, no, snuffis
s-n.O double f. The fact is, words ending in ough are a
little irregular. Fr.—A h, very good; 'tis beautiful lan-
guage. is hug; I will remember; and c.o•u g-h
cull: I have one bad cuff, ha! Tutor—No, that is
wrong. We say haujr, not cuff. Fr.—Kaug; eh bien.
Huff and haufir, and, pardonnez-moi, how you call
d-o u g-h? Duff, ha! Tutor—No, not duff. Fr.—Not
duff; ah! oui ; I understand—is dauff, hey? Tutor—
No, d-o-u.g-h spells doe. Fr.—Doe ! It is very fine;
wonderful language, it is doe: and t-o-u-g-h is toe cer.
tainement. My beefsteak was very toe. Tutor—O, no,
no; you should say tuff. Fr.-7'uffr And the thing
farmer uses ; how you call him p•l-o-u-g-h,pluff ? ha!
you smile; I see lam wrong, it plauf ? No? ah, then,
it is plot, like doe: it is a beautiful language, ver' fine—
ploc ? Tutor—You are still wrong, my friend. It is
plow. Fr.—Plow ! Wonderful language. I shall un-
derstand ver' soon. Plow, doe, hautf: and one more—
r-o-u-g-h, what you call General Taylor; rauff and
ready? Tu:or—No; r-o u-g-h spells rug: Fr.—Ruff,
ha! Let me not forget. R-o-u-g-h is ruff; and b-o-u-g-h
is buff, ha! Tutor—No, bow. Fr.—Ah! very simple,
wonderful language ; but I have had what you call
e-n-o-u•g-h; ha! what you call him?' "
"Illustrative Art" is an agreeable comment on some
books embellished by the Etching Club and other-
wise. An article on " The Adaptation of Iron" in
architecture is a curiosity which will be found not
unworthy of examination. Every advocate for the
ballot should read the paper on " Corruption
at Elections." One of the most practical and
practicable suggestions we have seen for a consider-
able time for the improvement of the metropolis is
the one contained in the brief but pregnant chapter
3n the "Neglect of the Public Records." We
should rejoice to Bee such m scheme as the one
spoken of token up by the Government, namely, the
construction of a spacious and fitting building
for the preservation of our national records,
between the angle formed by the meeting of Fleet-
street and Chancery-lane. The final contribution to
the Westminster is of a prospective character on " Po-
litics and Politician," suggested by the "Opening of
the Session." Out of one of the amusing criticisms in
the Foreign Quarterly Supplement, we take the follow-
ing comical lines by MM. Clairville and Jules Cordier
on the President Louis Napoleon at the end of his four
years' reign in 1852. The lines are exquisitely French;
and although we sympathize not one jot in their
scoffing spirit, but, on the contrary, regard the policy
of the Prince President with respect and admiration,
we cannot resist a laugh at every line in this
humourous and capital jeu desprit :
" Pendant quatre ans 11 prishiait la France,
C'Ctait un grand—un grand?—e!ait-il grand?
Qu'importe! on connait sa vaillance.
Sa vaillance?-6:ait-il vaillant?
Qu'importe! on connait son talent.
Mais quel talent avait cette lime forte?

discriminating and generous.

has extended north and sout it is, at present, impossible
to say, for it appears that the hill to the south has
been cut away to a considerable extent, and there are,
very likely, many curious remains now deeply buried in its
shelving bank. The most interesting apartment brought
to light within the last week or two, his the private
oratory of the abbot, near the eastern portion of the
remains. It has been an elegant little chapel of
a style of architecture different from any hitherto
noticed at Fountains, viz., the enriched dog-toothed
Early-English; and has been,
.no doubt, as Mr. Wal-
bran of Ripon informs us, the work of an imme-
diate successor of the Three Johns, sometime between
1245 and 1290. The stone altar is nearly perfect; end
there remains the lower part of a small mysterious stone
staircase in the north-east angle—the approach, very
probably, of the officiating priest. The encaustic tiles
that are continually turned up are both numerous and
curious. We are glad to learn that Mr. Walbran is
preparing a very full account of the remains of this in-
teresting building, which, we understand, will be
pub-
lished in some forthcoming number of the Journal of
the Archeological Institute, illustrated with necessary
cuts and ground-plans. Tho greatest praise is due
.to
Captain S. Smith, of Green Royd, Ripon, for the prtss
and interest he has taken in the excavations; ss well as
to Mr. W. Mason, the steward of the Abbey Grounds,
who has lost no opportunity of fully developing the
hitherto buried domicile of the old Lords of Fountains.

ST. (TORN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND Bill has been
brought from the Lord', coufirming certain Acts of the
local Legislature respecting the rebuilding of the town
of St. John's, Newfoundland, and enabling the said
Legislature to wake other provisions for the same
purpose.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, May 8.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was a further improvement in
the market for all sorts of raw sugar, and a less quantity
was on offer. There was a brisk demand for West India
for home trade purposes, and the rates obtained in the
private market were 6d per cwt above those current
on Friday. A public sale of 150 hhds Barba-
does went briskly at an advance of 6d to is per
cwt; fine yellow realised 42s to 42 s 6d, middling to good
40s to 41s 6d, low 39s 6d; 120 hhds, 3 tierces, and 257
barrels of St. Lucia, sold, at stiffer rates, good yellow
fetched 39s 6d, good grey 38s 6d to 395, low to middling
37s to 335, and good brown 36. e to 36s 6d per cwt. The
total purchases to-day amounted to 1,520 hhds, &c. The
market for all sorts of Sugar closes with much firmness.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar met with a ready
,sale for home-trade purposes, and better rates were ob-
tained. Brown grocery lumps sold at 51s to 51s 6d,
'and Standard Lumps 52s to 52s 6d per cwt. Of infe-
rior sorts the supply is barely sufficient for the demand.
Bonded Crushed Sugar finds a brisker sole at 30s to
30s 6d per cwt.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met
with increased attention, and the public sales of 4,591
bags went at an advance of from 6d to ls, and the
biddings were spirited—fine yellow realised 40s 6cl
to 41s 6d, good 39s 6d to 40s, low to middling 37s 6d to
395, fine brown 375, and low 33s per cwt. By private
treaty several purchases have been concluded in all de:-
scriptions.

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was in
good demand, and the public sales of 1,286 bags went
at an advance of 6d per cwt, good white Benares realised
42s to 42s 6d, low to middling 39s 6d to 4ls, middling
and good soft yellow 37s to 395, ordinary 36s 6d, fine
brown 34s to 34s 6d, and ordinary 32s per cwt. A good
business has been concluded by private treaty at similar
rates.

FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign
Sugar; privately, however, a fair business was concluded
at former rates, and on the part of holders there is con-
fidence.

COCOA,—West India is still held with firmness, and
none has again been submitted to public sale. By private
treaty operations were upon a more extended scale, and
at firm rates; Trinidad, red has been selling at 40s to
463, and grey 38s to 435. Only a moderate demand
exists for Foreign, yet holders are firm, and require 28s
to 30s per cwt.
MOLASSES.—The market for West India has a more
active appearance, and prices have an upward tendency.
By private treaty 200 puns have been sold at 20s for
Trinidad, and at 21s 6d for fine Dominica; there are
many buyers rather under these rates. Bengal Treacle
is held for 16s to 16s 6d.
COFFEE—This afternoon the quantity of Ceylon Coffee
offered at public sale consisted of 289 casks and 1,712
bap; there was less demand, and a part only sold at
rather lower rates. Native good ordinary went at 305 6d
to 31s 6d, real good ordinary 32s 6d to 335, triage 28s,
damaged 29s 6d to 31s 6d; Plantation, very superior 75s
to 90s, middling and good 503 to 60s, low middling 44s
to 47s 63, fine to fine fine ordinary 35s to 435, and in-
ferior 303 to 34s per cwt. There was little business done
in the Foreign Coffee market.
TEA.—There is no variation to record in the value of
black, but a good demand exists, and on the part of
holders firmness is apparent. To-day a greater desire
was manifested to do business in both black and green
Tea, and former rates are well supported.
SPICES.—To-day a public sale of 750 bags of Malabar
Pepper went at 3id to 3id for shot, and at 3d to 31d per
